Brit Reacts To TEENAGERS REACTING TO LIFE SENTENCES!

[@reginafarley1325]

The 1st one. She's not crying. When a person cries, there are tears that run down your face.

[@kevin982]

They say justice is blind but I say justice is blind to the suffering of the innocent. It's always the innocent left bewildered by the courts for the rest of their lives.

[@billbrasky1288]

3:15 they are real tears. But she is mourning her own life. She would have been perfectly happy being acquitted and going on with her life normally.

[@maryhubbard2889]

They should not be allowed for parole at all

[@leodupree9283]

Remorse means you’re very sorry for an action you took that hurt someone else. Regret means you’re sorry you got caught.

[@slamminsammy941]

I know what you’re trying to say !

[@purplepumkinX]

Well she's also freaking 17

[@ClaireRedfieldKennedy-ld2lx]

9:20 This was a VERY high profile case. What's so disturbing is the careful planning and extreme nature of torturing her to death. This was literally just because they didn't want to be friends with her anymore!

[@BevJ-y4y]

There’s a video out there of Mackenzie Sharilla’s boyfriend’s parents being informed of his death. It is heartbreaking, she should serve life, just as they are.

[@Tom-ho2lv]

@@BevJ-y4y good thing is that it happened in Ohio. Her sentence will be way closer to life than 15 years, especially with 2 counts. I highly doubt she’ll get out

[@VirginiaHarrington-u3k]

I agree, do not believe anything these young monsters say unless they are explaining the evil they plan to do to someone. Then, believe them because they will do it.

[@pd-ou1tg]

"15 years to life" just means a guaranteed 15 years in prison before the prisoner becomes eligible for a parole board review decision so that the sentence can be further refined by the parole board based on her behavior, history, crime, etc. What the judge said in the video is true, that "you may very well remain in prison for the rest of your life." Parole can be denied, and while it's not guaranteed, it can definitely be the case she spends the rest of her natural life in prison. Because she is 17, sentences like life imprisonment without the eligibility of parole (or the death penalty) are not ordered by judges because it would violate the 8th Amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. The US Supreme Court has routinely upheld that legal children are incapable of receiving the worst legal punishments permissible (life without parole and DP) regardless of how evil or nasty the crime was. Trial court judges therefore are very cautious to avoid getting the case appealed or mistrialed and give out a vague punishment like "15 years to life" to "punt" the decision to keep her in prison forever to the parole board. Judges are under more 8th Amendment scrutiny than parole board members since only judges can dole out an official sentence of life w/o parole or death. It's a procedural wrinkle to avoid having children sent to the electric chair (in states that would allow the death penalty) while still allowing parole board members to extend a non-life-sentence into an effective life sentence. It's very likely the parole board will just keep her in prison when that determination needs to be made. Just not guaranteed.

[@jessicaleblanc-nh1yl]

This comments to the studies of Born vs. Created. It is uncommon to see people of these ages commit such horrific crimes, however, if the emotions are not present...they never will be. Thank you for sharing this one.

[@dcoxdon]

On the first one where the Girl killed 2 guys... I'm not sure how it works in the UK (I'd be interested in knowing), but I NEVER understood why crimes like this run "Concurrently" instead of "Consecutively". She killed 2 people, got 15 years to life for EACH case, yet because she serves concurrently, she gets to serve both sentences at the same time? That's like giving her 7.5 years for each murder... If she killed 100 people would it also run concurrent and only have to do 15 years? This whole "Running current" makes NO sense to me, never has. If you kill 2 people the time you do should be double than if you killed one. SEEMS to be common sense!

[@reneehomen2226]

It's as if these teenagers souls are dead. There is nothing but evil in their eyes. They only cry for themselves for getting caught. Nothing more! They only get the possibility of parole bc of their ages.

[@lynnie6633]

The last girl, Rachel Shoaf, had the audacity to spend time with Skylar's parents. It wasn't yet known that she was one of the murderers, and she "wanted to comfort them" for the loss of their only child. If that isn't cold blooded, I don't know what is.

[@BohoBunMom]

It was actually Shelia Eddy who ingratiated herself into Skylar's family. Shoaf was so tormented by what she did that she had a full on nervous breakdown and was hospitalized. When they released her from the hospital she went and confessed. She's still a murderer, and she belongs in prison, but I actually do believe she feels remorse. Shelia is a different story. Just a totally evil person.

[@Tom-ho2lv]

The first one with the car. It’s Ohio, zero chance she gets parole anytime soon. Her sentence will be closer to life than to 15 years. 100%

[@cherylt6762]

Being at a loss for words is exactly how I feel.

[@Tracywhited2]

Sharilla case is so brutal. There's a video you could react to that shows the boyfriend's parents being informed of his death. It's something to see. Just so sad.

[@theshadowfax239]

IMO that is not a video people should be watching. What a violation for those poor parents. It's horrible that that video is available and people are watching it.

[@Tracywhited2]

@ I get that but they have not had it taken down and they could easily do that. I think they want it up to show what she did.

[@retrosonghits]

​​@@Tracywhited2I saw it too by haplessly stumbling upon it. It was quite shocking to watch. Actually thought about it just as Kabir was watching and made a similar comment to him to look it up and watch it.

[@Tracywhited2]

@ yeah. It's something you don't really forget.

[@staceysturgill846]

The last one with the girls…The girl with red hair I believe was genuinely sorry. She completely lost it after the horrible act, I believe because of guilt. The other girl is a total psychopath.

[@Allsizes]

When 1st responders got to the crash scene from the 1st story they said she still had the gas pedal pushed to the floor

[@keithcharboneau3331]

Yes, if the Judge would have had the sentences run consecutively instead of concurrently, she would not be eligible for parole for 30 years, but since the Judge handed down concurrently, she will be eligible for parole in 15 years. I personally think that she should have been handed 25 years to be served consecutively. let her think about what she done for 50 years instead of 15.

[@ericwilliams7949]

For the most part these kids show no genuine emotion. It's truly sick!

[@Robertz1986]

That girl in the first story actually blocked my route on my drive home that morning. I stopped and took pictures of the hole in the wall and all the police and emergency vehicles, and sent them to my friends, asking how someone could miss the turn from Progress onto to Alameda and go through the brick wall of that building. Only later found out that she did it on purpose.

[@jeffking4176]

I had major problems with addictions. Ended up with a 33 year sentence- no early outs. [ 2 years later, turns out my sentence, and MANY MANYothers were illegal. , so we were all sentenced again. I did a total of 12 years (but it took a Lawsuit against the State Supreme Court by another inmate)]. Nevertheless, I took my punishment, and that time to get myself untangled, and right. I got out in 2008. I own a home, paid off a mortgage, started a small business, and have a ministry to Africa. 📻😁

[@modo6901]

I takes alot of courage to change your life. Well done!!

[@gotham61]

In the 2012 case Miller Vs Alabama, the US Supreme Court ruled the life sentences without the possibility of parole, were unconstitutional for crimes committed before someone’s 18th birthday

[@gwenna1161]

that first case is was a stalking case. she was flat out evil.

[@katinacarson-hunwi7297]

I have watched the case on Skylar Neese. It’s just so horrible how evil people can be.

[@rupturedduck6981]

Being Eligible for Parole and actually getting Parole are two different things. Almost nobody gets Parole the first time they go up for Parole.

[@yugioht42]

Kids tend to be sentenced differently because of their age. It also falls under the special victims unit. They handle stuff like that all the time. The police tend to watch these kids very carefully over their life. With therapy barring major issues they could be rehabilitated into something useful.

[@jeremywilliams1835]

Here's one for you to watch, ALYSSA BUSTAMANTE. She's from close to Jefferson City,MO. Also the state capital of Missouri and is about an hour and a half west of where I live

[@janetsanford6923]

I remember that, I currently live in Jeff City

[@lesliedaubert1411]

Some states don't have the death penalty or life in prison. Some people do end up becoming a better person while in prison. One of the reasons for a prison is a place for rehab.

[@RickyisSwan]

You can't rehabilitate the victims. It's the victim was a family member, would you be hoping the murderer becomes "a better person?" Pathetic. 🦘🇦🇺

[@rawgamer3428]

The 15 to life is her having to serve 15 years before she’s eligible for parole

[@blakemcelrath54]

They're not crying and getting emotional because of what they did, they're getting emotional because they got caught in are now facing consequences, because they're self-entitled petulant little children.

[@sassytbc7923]

Kids see things on tv and in their video games all the time. Many are often also used to getting whatever they want..and can’t handle not doing so. I believe that is a big part of it.

[@karenedwards6713]

Eligible for parole doesn't mean you will get parole. Hopefully they will get turned down for parole for a few decades. 😊

[@xenotbbbeats7209]

It seems to me that the worst thing that ever happened to their victims are these teenagers.

[@SLM41]

You should react to the full cases of Skylar Neese and Trysten Bailey. So heartwrenching.

[@sandraunquera-tm3nz]

The charges are consecutive which means she will serve 30 years before she gets a chance at parole. That is usually why they consecutively in the wording.

[@aliselynch]

That first girl, she definitely intended to die too. She just walked away. Thats probably her real regret. She has to suffer consequences she intended to avoid

[@charlesmalone8009]

15 to life doesn't mean she will get out after 15 years. It's 30 years to the rest of her life, she will die in prison period.

[@mike7146]

2 counts of 15 to life to be served concurrent is really 30 years to life

[@pfury67]

Concurrent means run in parallel. if it was consecutive, it would be 30 to life. Regardless, life means at the whims of the parole board after the 15 years (or whatever good time is in the state).

[@1perfectpitch]

Learn the difference between concurrent and consecutive. 15 years.

[@johnwray393]

I knew I hadn't misheard that. Not sure how the narrator didn't catch that.

[@trumpiekeith8531]

They made it sound like everything happened at once on the first girl, but she's wearing 2 different blouses, so it was obviously different days.

[@lisamaitland157]

Most of these cases you will find the parents are just as evil if not aided their child in some small manor, whether that be by allowing certain behavior or supporting Certain life styles or hobbies. We now have case law to arrest the parents if a gun is involved, for a under age child of 17 or less that lives under the parents roof. "Provided the gun belongs to the parents, or was bought by them for the child." I've watch many of these cases go beyond the guilty person, to detailed investigations of the parents. You will find the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, especially if the Crime is a political one or hate crime in nature. I'm very close to believing, that a few humans are de-evolving to Feral Status. "Watch Wal-Mart shoplifter videos to prove to you about Feral humans lol" Something is wrong when certain costal States, try and put the hero in jail for standing up to these monsters. Almost as if a certain % of the population enjoys Crime and Evil deeds to others, until it happens to them or someone they love. Shame...

[@msboomerizzle303]

I wish I could understand why some people are capable of taking a life, especially young teenagers. Is murder so normalised in today's society that they barely think twice about it? Is it a mental health thing?...whatever it is, I'll still be struggling to get my head around it.

[@alpine_newt]

This is extreme, it is not the norm. The world is not that crazy as a whole. Most people are almost OK.

[@nwj03a]

You being baffled at the end just shows your a normal, well adjusted human. Killing another human being, for literally any reason, shouldn’t be something that sits well with you.

[@deboraclark5791]

Don't do the crime. There are a lot of evil people . just because you're a teenager they usually get less, that bull.

[@Roboto2073]

This is hard one to comment on. I think once your convicted, especially admitting to it. There should only be one decision... life. No 15 years and looked at again. later.

[@misandristmayhem]

She went to a Halloween party some time after the accident and dressed as a corpse.

[@sassytbc7923]

I don’t understand the concurrent sentences..they need to be one after another/.

[@keithcharboneau3331]

I think the word that you are really looking for is Sociopath, not Psychopath, they are 2 different things. and I think Sociopath is what describes these particular teens.

[@smalltownfamadventuresmore5109]

I think the parents should be in prison too.

[@janicehughes9203]

What is happening to these kids

[@brianabc83]

These kind of people have always existed, but now there's so much media, social, news, etc, that even when it happens across the world, we hear about it. Also, there's a lot of "dark" media out there as well. But I do agree that courts/the law is too lenient, but sometimes it's not the fault of judges, they may be handing down max sentences as allowed by law. It's the lawmakers that need to adjust the max sentences for crimes.

[@laffingist218]

who watches these? jeezy creezy so dark and twisted.

[@wildhogs1ful]

Why are you so surprised that kids could do these things. Look what their parents and grandparents and great grandparents did for hundreds of years just to take lands from people. This is bloodline this is who these people are!

[@TracyFromAus]

The first girl was happy and partying in her wheelchair as soon as she got out of hospital the pics were horrible. Her mothers impact statement was awful too the judge interrupted her to comment. Aidan Fucci mother was charged with tampering with evidence she washed his blood stained clothes after he unalived Tristyn. I think she got 30 days jail. Unfortunately Tristyn was found Mothers Day! 15 years what a joke.

[@Blondeandblue82]

Yeah you pretty much took the non words right out of my mouth. I watched each of these trials a while back. Not when they actually happened of course but there's full clips of each one. Shock and utter disbelief 🫢
