An 'evil' Michigan man who helped his mother torture and starve his autistic younger brother was seen cowering in newly-released interrogation footage as he seemed to finally realize what he had done. Paul Ferguson, 22, is now serving a prison sentence of up to 100 years behind bars for his role in his brother, Timothy Ferguson's, July 6, 2022 death.

The autistic teenager was found inside their Michigan home, weighing just 69 pounds, and an ensuing investigation found that Paul and his mother, Shanda Vander Ark, subjected the 15 year old to merciless punishments including force feeding him hot sauce, depriving him of sleep and locking away his food.

Paul repeatedly insisted to a police officer that he and his mother never intended for Timothy to die as he held his head in his hands and buried his face on the desk, according to the interrogation footage obtained by Law & Crime. 'I can't even live with myself,' he told the cop.

The officer then asked how he felt about 'over and over again defending your mother, [talking] about how good she is?. 'Do you feel like that's the truth anymore? Cause I'm quite disgusted by her,' he asks, to which Paul once again insists his mother 'never wanted this' as he popped his head back up but refused to make eye contact with the police officer.
