Since she has to literally read her 'apology', she doesn't mean a single word of it! A decent, responsible, young human being would've done it from the heart - with true feelings coming through. Not reading from a piece of paper - while 'crying' for only her own predicament. She was 17 when she decided to kill two people that had their whole lives ahead of them. A five year old knows right from wrong. She purposefully committed two murders. Someone as self-absorbed, uncaring, selfish and irresponsible as her doesn't deserve to walk freely amongst the rest of us.

@@txchris3802 IF she had true remorse, only a few words from the heart would've been enough. Not only would it have shown that she meant what she said - it could've been convincing enough for the people present to take at least some pity on her. And, if her attorney had at least half a brain, not making her out to be a victim, but demonstrating that she took the majority of responsibility for what happened might have helped her somewhat, as well. However, deliberately committing two murders and clearly reading a statement that she had to write down to remember, says a lot about her state of mind. With all due respect, comparing bereaved, mourning family members reading their lengthy statements to this arrogant, self-absorbed, irresponsible young woman is like comparing apples and oranges - claiming that they're all one and the same.

Oh he would be behind bars for life, no question. Particularly if the victims were female. It’s well documented females get significantly lesser sentences than men for the same crimes. Young women are the main beneficiaries of this leniency. Look at a something like the trial of Casey Anthony, would the verdict have been not guilty if it was a guy with a shaved head and loads of tattoos? Of course not. Aesthetics and characteristics play a massive part in trials, they shouldn’t, but they do.

[@crosstatt7441]

You’re absolutely right! Some of these women, especially the attractive ones, think that they are above the law.

Funny thing is, if someone like this shows remorse and emotion in court, the public will criticize it. If they sit there stoic, they will criticize it. Can't have it both ways 🤔

[@taniele84]

Don’t kill people and you won’t have to deal with it. You act like we’re talking about people being judged on how they act after getting caught cheating on a test. These are killers my dude. Killers. Yeah. Nothing is gonna look right. And sentences as absolutely absurd and lenient as hers for a double homicide is definitely gonna make it so she gets obliterated in the comments as far as judgment and scrutiny over her mannerisms.

She had time to stop. I believe that during that like when she was speeding that he probably tried to stop her like you wouldn’t just sit there you would try to stop that person, so I she definitely knew what she was doing that this is so insane and now she’s crying because she’s gotta go to jail for it. That’s the only reason she’s crying.

[@txchris3802]

Honestly I have issues with the trying to stop her comment all the passenger had to do was either shut off the ignition or throw the shifter into reverse or neutral or Park which in most cars would not be hard to do so I'm not sure they were even conscious when she accelerated

Not really. it's called journaling. It's simply writing down your thoughts and feelings to project them more clearly. This is no different than a mom or dad reading from their victim impact statement.

[@mraereed]

That's not true. She may have just not wanted to leave anything out.

Discipline and instruction are integral parts of being a good parent. Proverbs 13:24 says, “He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.” Children who grow up in undisciplined households feel unwanted and unworthy. They lack direction and self-control, and as they get older they rebel and have little or no respect for any kind of authority, including God’s. “Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death” (Proverbs 19:18). At the same time, discipline must be balanced with love, or children may grow up resentful, discouraged, and rebellious (Colossians 3:21). God recognizes that discipline is painful when it is happening (Hebrews 12:11), but if followed by loving instruction, it is remarkably beneficial to the child. “Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4).

she took the same route a few days earlier and scouted the area, she looked at the point of crash and calculated where the passenger side of the vehicle would be the side to receive the most damage. hence is why she has no visible injuries.
