Home Invasion Shootout Erupts After Adopted Son Hires Killers | Ted Shaughnessy Case Analysis

[@vickinoeske1154]

I'm one of those people that believe Jacqulyn did get away with murder.

[@helenmcdonnell2585]

I'm another.. there was sufficient evidence to convict her along with Nick, they didn't need her evidence. Her sentence is a joke and I don't agree with Dr Grande, nor does Corry the other victim.

[@drake000666]

Being female is a big plus if you do not want to do time for murder, no other factor will get you less time if you're guilty.

[@doriangrey9702]

[@Gizziiusa]

def a solid accomplice in murder. shame on criminal justice system.

[@sandhanitizer15]

Yeah wtf was that sentence all about?

[@deborahblackvideoediting8697]

Can you imagine the life Nick would have had if he remained in the Ukrainian nursery? Many orphanages are underfunded and the children don't get the proper care or preparation for adulthood. He probably would have had absolutely nothing. Instead he was hand the world by loving parents. Their fortune would have eventually been his, but he was so greedy and lazy he couldn't wait. Poor Corey, I feel so very sorry for her. Imagine knowing your son had your husband killed and tried to have you killed? I can't even being to imagine the hell she lives in.

[@victrola2007]

Wife's plea bargain is OBSCENE! What are proscecutors thinking?!Entitlement, greed, ingratitude, depraved cruelty and indifference are unhinged. The parents clearly doted on their son starting with making adoption decision. This child was wanted and loved. Ghastly pair. Heinous gaggle. Poor parents.

​@@wayside5182You don't give life sentences to 3 men and just let the 4th walk away without adjudication. You appear to put very little thought into your comments, and they show a lack of critical thinking skills. Your grammer is absolutely atrocious. It is terrifying to think that you are a prime candidate for jury duty. Uninformed, uneducated, and more than likely unemployed. Our judicial system is screwed because of people like you.

[@carriemindplsable]

I am going to say something we are not supposed to say. Adoption (especially of older children) is often a disaster and sometimes a catastrophe. And even though they were apparently the best and kindest parents to Nick he never really bonded to them and it was easy for him to cash them in like lottery tickets. It is hard to a bond to people you are not related to especially if your early life was bad.

[@dicedrice7216]

It's somewhat amazing, that, since this happened in Texas, Nick was offered a plea bargain and didn't get the death penalty.

[@rolandrahn8343]

I cannot imagine how Corey Shaughnessy feels. As for Nick...well. Apart from the fact that he is a horrible person murdering/trying to murder the two people who gave him everything, I doubt that he has the intellectual ability to plan anything. He tried to work as a day trader. What was his experience that made him think that he could succeed? As for inheriting his father's business.....again, what made him think that he would succeed running that business? Oh, and trying to hire hitmen with zero experience in crime - how was that supposed to work? Even IF they would have gotten away with murder, he would have had several professional criminals knowing that he inherited $8 millions - what would stop them from blackmailing him? But this was never going to happen as he was discussing the hiring process via text messages.

[@keysaysassah]

Something I also find nuts are he number of people offered money to murder people who didn’t go to the police..😅

[@Smithpolly]

I guess if someone thinks there's a good chance you'll answer "Yes" if they ask you to murder someone, you may not be a person who would necessarily want to get involved with the police.

[@grumpyoldlady_rants]

I disagree with all of the sentences. Nick and the two intruders clearly planned this murder so, in my opinion, they should have been charged with 1st degree murder and sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after 30-35 years. Jacklyn got off too easy. She should have gotten at few years, at least. I wonder why the people Nick first tried to recruit didn’t go to the police? They could have stopped the killing.

I'd really like a discussion of how often adopted orphans kill their adoptive parents. There are allegations that places like Ukraine do not provide the best care for their orphans, and that the lack of human contact and cuddling often leads to attachment issues, which could help to explain how a son who was treated well by his adoptive parents could plot to murder both of them.

Unpopular opinion: some degree of absentee parenting must have contributed to Nick's personality flaws, particularly regarding his work ethic.

Nick and Jacqulyn are equally guilty of murder because she could have prevented it. Both are despicable human beings, taking the very lives of the hands that fed them. What entitlistic personalities they have. Had they got away with it, each may have eventually tried to murder the other once they squandered away their illicit inheritance. I can only imagine what Nick's mother goes through every day, knowing the son they loved and raised loves their money more than the life they provided him. Godspeed and comfort to this resilient lady. I do understand the prosecution's position. They must have needed information only Jacqulyn could provide. She actively participated in the logistics of the murder. Her plea bargain was way too light, exasperatingly light, but if the prosecution thought she had a good chance to beat her conviction, they may have thought a sweetheart conviction was the best they could do, and also gain additional evidence in the prosecution of Nick and his other two accomplices, whose 35 year sentences are also exasperatingly light.

[@Gizziiusa]

interesting. But in addition, im under the impression that orphanages in general, but ones from developing and under-developed countries are rife with infants, toddlers, and children that are seriously neglected, be it physical, mental, and/or spiritual. The end result is a toddler or child that is stunted. Lacks the ability to be empathic, thus is always distant when it comes to others, including adoptive parents. not necessarily a psychopath, nor sociopath, but somewhere along the lines of a person thats simply indifferent in a non-ability to attach/bond with others in a natural and normal way (as in, learn toLove)

[@Sanakudou]

We unfortunately acquired a plethora of psychological research on the impacts of child neglect through the Romanian orphanage neglect crisis. Even after the world found out about all these neglected children and a massive adoption effort took place, all those children had abnormal psychological developments that no amount of love from their new families could remedy. Neglect within the first seven years of life irreversibly limits the development of a person’s empathy and will heavily contribute to the development of many personality disorders. As tragic as it is, there’s serious risks that come with adopting children from orphanages where early-life neglect may have been experienced.

It should be more then two days never heard of a sentence like this I wish there were more like it , sentences that are unique like having to do time during the anniversary of the crime can you imagine if she messes up her probation towards the ends and has to do twenty years can only hope lol
