Dr. William Petit sat down with Oprah Winfrey for one of the most moving, emotional interviews we've seen in a long time.
For those of you who don't know who William Petit is, he is the man that survived a brutal attack during a home invasion that left his wife and two daughters dead. Two men broke into the Petit's Connecticut home, tied up and sexually assaulted the women that Petit called his family. They then dumped gasoline all over th
e girls' bodies and around the house, and lit it on fire before stealing the Petit's car and crashing in to a police barricade near the burning home. Bill Petit was able to get himself out of the bulkhead door and away from the house before he watched everything he ever loved burn to the ground.

It was so hard to watch a man talk about his murdered family and to be so candid about the events that changed his life forever. Even though Jennifer, Hayley and Michaela have been gone since 2007, the pain is still very real for Bill, who said he hasn't decorated a Christmas tree since their passing.
One of the men convicted of this gruesome crime was recently sentenced to death, and people had so many mixed opinions. After watching Dr. William Petit on Oprah today, it may have changed some people's minds.
Bill Petit looks like the nicest guy, the kindest person. He didn't deserve this, yet it happened to him. It's heartbreaking and there are no words to describe his constant suffering.
