Exactly! He wants fairness and compassion? The day before Tim unalived, he was so weak that he was unresponsive, couldn't walk or talk. This didn't stop Paul from physically dragging Tim and putting him in a 7 hour ice bath, repeatedly dumping cold water on him during those 7 hours, teasing him with a pizza roll, and telling his mother that he's fine... he's just pulling his usual crap. Good Riddance is right. He's not one step away from bring a psycho,he's already there.

[@janedixon8491]

Yay! I was hoping for 20 years at least! 30 to 100 years justice served. Paul may have whiplash upon hearing 30 in the big house!

[@lenamiller7385]

Yooo I said the same thing his head fell up so fast 💨 I know he felt it lol 😂

[@deborahsmith934]

The way his head went up when the judge said 30 to 100 years. He chest started to beat fast.

[@nbooch73]

I’m so glad this judge saw right through both of these defendant! They are pure evil !!!!

[@MegaMisty57]

He thought he was going to get a more lenient sentence cause he cooperated. His face…..priceless!

[@margaret6839]

That is the deal they promised him tho.

[@beanj580]

Margaret, the judge told him at shandas trial that he made no promises for his testimony. He was spared first degree murder charge, which is automatic life sentence. The deal was he would'nt be charged with murder, and they stuck to that

[@esdee878]

With an evil family like this, poor Timothy didn't stand a chance. I'm so glad that the Judge has held him and his disgusting mom accountable for their evil acts.

[@SouthernSass51]

I would give this judge a hug ! He's awesome

[@GoldyRyun]

I would love to give this judge a big hug and tell him how wonderful he is, and I love him

[@andreaallen1362]

This judge is right, this sicko person should never get out of prison.

[@zoefree3950]

you may have fooled some people Paul but you didn’t fool the judge…justice is served. RIP Timothy

[@BabyCatBanana]

His face when he is sentenced...."whaaaaat **thirty** years all just for starving someone???"

[@d.a.5881]

Awesome Judge. He said exactly what needed to be said. Sweet angel Timothy, may you have peace now.

[@laurelwood791]

Judge: you got BOTH Shanda and Paul 200% on target. On spot. 200% correct. Your addressing paul and Shanda with Such articulate precise perfect description. Goodbye Shanda. Goodbye Paul. Justice will never be served for Timothy, until you get your just deserved same treatment.

[@bornfree0507]

Love that reaction when he heard the sentence. Head jerks up and then the gulp!!

[@Bluenariangirl]

He's got the same crazy eyes of the mother.

[@1greatNorthwestmom]

Thank you Judge for taking the time to throughly research and consider Paul’s mental health in your sentencing and for the justice you served Timothy today.

[@jackiejohnston2311]

Amen! So much respect for this judge! Paul has never shown any emotion or remorse in his participation torturing poor Timothy. His statement to the court clearly was not even in his own words. RIP Timothy

[@Shorkiemomfurever]

Being abused is not an excuse to later abuse! My mother tormented her children and took joy in it. Spat in our faces, awful beating and humiliating acts brought her happiness. I could never, ever, intentionally hurt a child- or anyone for that matter. He chose a different route. I feel bad for his trauma but am horrified over his lack of shame concerning his choices and reaction to his own trauma. Lock him up.

[@kellyegan9824]

Shanda didn’t raise him

[@nataliegist2014]

You can tell that this is one of the worst cases the Judge has ever seen.

[@beanj580]

I'm so glad the judge delivered this sentence. As he stated you cannot excuse what Paul did. You deserve your sentence Paul!

[@JillyBean1968]

The judge is off the charts!!! And look at Timmy’s brother, bowing his head. He knew what he was doing was wrong!

[@dormiacrouch1905]

Wish we had several more wise, moral judges like this judge in every state of the union!!! Thank you Judge for your wise judgement!!!!

[@DrakeSmith-tn6ij]

What about the entire planet?

[@calmchaos6460]

I think he probably got whiplash from his reaction to that sentence. The judge made the right call.

[@RileyN138]

Sir shitted hisself when he heard 30 to a 100yrs 😂😂😂😂

30 years for killing and torturing my little brother! THIS IS RIDICULOUS! - Paul Ferguson

[@motherformerlyknownascoope883]

30-100 is not easy getting Paroled on these cases.

[@lanielouwraps]

Now he can think about the consequences of his actions! He was a willing participant. I am sure the Judge wrote “one step away from a psychopath” which will keep him in prison until he dies.

[@laurelwood791]

The people will be there in 30 years to Vote NO release. See ya in 30 years Bully. Torturer, Sadist, MURDERER.

[@laurelwood791]

Hell not be paroled in 30 years, no worries.

[@slkhjf]

I hope you're right, ​@laurelwood791 this guy is going to be a danger to society forever.

[@denisedomingue571]

Absolutely heartbreaking no one spoke on Timothy's behalf prior to sentencing. Thankfully this judge was his voice. I cannot fathom the abuse/torture this beautiful boy endured! I remember the photo of Timothy this judge displayed at Shanda's sentencing. He said that's the way he chose to remember Timothy instead of like a holocaust victim which is what he looked like six months after his stepfather's stroke. That is how I chose to remember Timothy as well. This judge is amazing!

[@polli-esterUK]

We need this judge in England 👏

[@mindrolling24]

You guys need an inquiry into sentencing as it is not in line with public expectations. Criminals are given too many chances in the UK by a legal system. It’s depressing to read how an abusive person gets out on bail or early release yet again and goes onto to harm someone else. Property crimes are treated more harshly than crimes against people.

[@ashleyvictoria95]

The only emotion this guy has shown. Was when the judge sentenced him. He expected the 30 years. But hears “ to 100” and his head shot up like a bottle rocket. Ya care now, Paul? This guy is void of ANY empathy..This was soo sad.. RIP Timothy. 😢

[@hiddenhand6973]

And wants mercy when showing little bother none. Okay Paul, time to be quiet.

[@sserpentchic1342]

He didn't even expect the 30. In his jail calls he talks about IF he goes to prison for awhile and how he may "not even see the inside of a prison". This has to be one of the most satisfying sentencings ive ever seen.

Why did his father send Tim to them when he knew what was going on in his home? Will he be charged with anything? I think he should be

Dang that judge smacked it to him and honestly while I felt bad for Paul I saw the manipulation seeping through. He understood real quick when that judge said 30 years.

[@Mr.MermanPrince]

Listen to his jail phone calls.

[@rrksk]

Yes he did not react that much when the judge discribed what he had done to Tim, but when he heard 30 to 100 he looked like an angry child. He sees himself as a victim first and foremost.

[@andreafowler6953]

Haha 😂 did u see Paul's head whip right up when the judge sentenced him to 30 to 100 years in prison!!

[@SklynPow-ck1lt]

His head sure, snapped up alright

[@LuciaKOENIG]

He looks like he put on a few pounds.

[@mistymac9345]

I watched this entire story/trial. This is the worst case of torture, starvation and murder i have ever seen. Timothy's death was so cruel and so sadistic 😔 He could have, at any time, called the police but he was his mothers son. He enjoyed torturing his brother, as he had torturing animals. He should never be released. Thank you judge.

[@skeen8990]

He had tortured animals?

[@mskyn150]
