The petition claims that Watts has received notable treatment due to the celebrity of his case and demands that that not continue.
It continues: ‘Unfortunately, the publicity of this case has exposed the nation to the horrors of familial homicides.
‘We cried with the victim’s family, we struggled to comprehend the brutality of the crime, and most of all, we continue to grapple the disturbed peace and increased suspicion that we all may live with a murderer.’
The petition demands that the victims’ picture ‘is RETURNED to the surviving family of Chris’ victims’
The petition demands that the victims’ picture ‘is RETURNED to the surviving family of Chris’ victims.’
Watts has been routinely on suicide watch since he was transferred to the Wisconsin prison at the end of 2018.
The killer father told investigators in February that he strangled his pregnant wife Shanann when she confronted him about his affair with mistress Nichol Kessinger.
He also revealed that he had sex with his wife just hours before murdering her after she returned home from a work trip in Arizona.
