SHAME ON YOU JUDGE for putting her in that position and letting her down…AGAIN).

[@guitarlixx]

Wow, Kayla really had the balls to send a "victim" impact statement. None of it was about Harmony, just recounting her "love" story with Adam. Gross. Court justice has been served. Now let's hope prison justice follows. Would also like to see the monster of a judge who put Harmony in Adam's custody held accountable.

[@JaneJ993]

Yeah-it was all about kayla-not Harmony

[@nataliebartholomew8761]

I agree with all of you. I think, since Kayla can not have any contact with that demon she supposedly loves, it was her only way to communicate with him. All she was concerned about is cheating, and the stupid lover’s quarrel BS. She sounds like all she’s worried about is how sad she is she can’t be with him anymore. Good Lord woman! Think about how that would all sound to the court, and everyone listening to that. She has absolutely no sense at all! And to think she is walking around free as a bird…to possibly even be in her kids lives one day!! I hope the right people heard that ridiculous “goodbye” letter today, and make sure she never sees her kids again. She clearly is still obsessed with Adam, and shows that she can let people manipulate her to the point that she STILL wants to see a child murderer! Absolutely disgusting!

[@Ritzbee87]

Her statement was nothing less than what I expected from her. Her childish mind and statements show how much she’s not grown. I still cant believe she was granted parole

[@ikaterin]

Why would they allow his ex wife’s victim statement to be read during sentencing. It was her opportunity to go on and on about their relationship and not Harmony’s murder. She couldn’t even say, “ I wish I would have done more for her”.

[@kateashby3066]

Because she’s classified as a victim in this 🤢🤮 and frankly that’s true, she is a victim of Adam. But she’s ALSO part responsible for harmony. Anyway, this is the deal she got- flip in Adam, tell us everything and we will give you immunity and label you a victim. 🙄

[@guitarlixx]

Right? All she wishes is that she sees Adam again. The fact that she'd even be allowed to attempt to fight for parental rights of any kind after this is disgusting. If she got out today, first thing she'd probably do is visit him.

[@Rose-qe7mk]

Her statement said nothing about Harmony, she's disgusting to put it nicely

[@nataliebartholomew8761]

Ugh I’m so worked up about this as you all are! I can’t get over the fact that she is out of prison now, and still feels this way about this monster! She could even have the potential to see her children again! I hope that never ever happens bc clearly she hasn’t learned a thing. She’s not writing him off, she’s opening a door to him! And once again she forgot about poor little Harmony! I guess some people do not change!!!

Agreed! Absolutely pathetic and has learned absolutely nothing! I hope she never gets to have any contact with her children. She doesn’t deserve them for a number of reasons, but sabotaging a setancing hearing and giving a “victim’s” impact statement, expressing her “love” and timeline of her middle school level relationship with a child murderer, shows her priorities do not lie with her children! Ugh makes me soooo angry!

Then he'll serve another sentence. Then he'll serve another sentence, and then he'll serve another sentence. So he's probably going to either grow very old in prison or die there.

[@jill2675]

And why is Kayla’s statement speaking about herself? What kind of impact statement was that?

[@beckyboo1433]

It was disgusting!!

[@francinejones2524]

I think she thought she’s the victim.

[@pietg.6249]

Anyone who gets involved with such a monster and even fathers children with him, bears a certain amount of guilt...

[@beckyboo1433]

💯💯 I don't believe he was ever a good person

[@griceltorres7701]

Why did they allow Kayla to write a letter and have it read. She only talked about herself!

[@Mewsette1]

Because that is a right that took years and years of hard work to pass. Victim impact statements are still considered new. I don't care what she says, as long as true victims can have their say. All she did was ruin her own life that much more- on record, in public.

[@Grapekoolaid52]

What a monster. How he was given custody of Harmony I don’t understand. He should have never been out. He should have never been allowed around children. Now all we can hope for is prison justice.

[@DominiquePeart]

I love how harmony’s mom walked out ! this entire statement was soley about her and not about the child that lost their life SMH 💔

[@dukedematteo1995]

Crystal is a loser who smoked rock while pregnant, giving Harmony a brain disease.

[@icturner23]

‘This’ statement? I know which you mean as I’ve watched the whole thing but for those who haven’t your comment is so vague.

Kayla statement - hardly a word about Harmony? She has NO remorse for the death 😢of that precious child. She should have been locked up for cruelty & neglect. Disgusting woman

Selfish bish wanted to make a statement to Adam only. And sounds like she's not totally done with him 😒🤢

[@chicandshabbyfurniturebyre7228]

I thought I’ve seen it all. But Kayla writing a love letter to Adam as a victim statement at the sentencing of the brutal murder of a child that she was basically a part of. Ya that just victimized Harmony all over again 😢. She needs to pay!

[@KimmySemak]

I agree i cringed so hard while that was being read

[@amandaduerk5866]

Sickening - that made me furious and grossed out

[@discdoggie]

I don’t know…Crystal and Kayla both could have PREVENTED the death of Harmony. Kayla by speaking up, and Crystal by not putting drugs over her own child. Both of their “victim impact statements” kinda bug me.

[@discdoggie]

And is the aunt STILL on drugs? All that sniffing…

[@cheesehead4670]

If I was the victim advocate I would refuse to read this statement from Kayla. How disgusting.

[@XSweetDreamsX]

I feel that Kayla being allowed to have a statement read in court today showing her as a VICTIM is appalling!!!! Her statement was about herself, she barely mentioned Harmony at all!!! She should be in prison as well for not lifting a pinky to help that little girl! I was a victim of horrendous domestic abuse and I know all about being afraid, but when it came to my daughter, when it turned to her being mistreated I took her and RAN!!! There is no excuse for what she did or didn't do, she's just as guilty!!!

[@ang_ro]

WTF does Kayla's long a$$ diatribe about their relationship have to do with Harmony. She is so dang self absorbed. She shouldnt be out, and she shouldnt get her kids back.

[@603nikki]

She’ll be better out.. there are a lot of people who hate her guts I guarantee and she won’t be protected behind bars.

[@Christine-dz6wh]

Wow so Kayla aside from being just as horrible, decides to write a letter to her lover. Nothing about the victim of the crime that she was complicit in.

How could she even be allowed to make an impact statement? She didnt give 2 flying sh*ts about Harmony.

[@audreykassem8010]

Kayla’s letter should not have been read in court. This was about Harmony not their warped relationship. The judge should have read this to herself and given it to the POS if she wanted. This was about Harmony’s life. Kayla needs to be back in jail with Adam. She’s just as sick as he is. The courts made a deal with the devil in regards to her

[@KimmySemak]

I agree 100%

[@georgemare5860]

what makes me sick is the only reason he (and those like him) want the kids back -i s so they no longer have to pay child support but can also collect welfare for the child. These lowlife's are all the same. His wife could on saved the poor child .... But she also liked the extra money they were getting for Harmony !

[@sandyquino2015]

The monster is still abusing her after death, not allowing her rest in peace.

Consecutive sentences on each charge in this case, and also consecutive on his other prison sentence.

Crazy he got only ten years less for weapon charges vs murdering his child.

56 to life, running concurrently to the prison sentence he was already serving.

[@kristenjustkristen9462]

Kayla will continue to stay in contact with him and put money on his books. She probably asked his lawyers what prison he's going to. Smh. Not one word was spoken by Kayla today about Harmony, and I guarantee she won't be mentioning Harmony in her future love letters to him. Sad..

Kayla being able to make a victim impact statement is a gross injustice

[@justice4all977]

Kayla should not have had a chance to give an impact statement as she helped conceal Harmony's body and didn't tell authorities what she saw. That was SOOOO DISRESPECTFUL TO HARMONY AND HARMONY'S MOTHER. How dare the court let that happen. The Judge should be ashamed

[@nataliebartholomew8761]

You are 100% right! She must not be the brightest bulb to think that letter would go over too well with a court room full of people who actually cared for and fought to find Harmony.

Many people suffer from drug addiction. Drug addiction doesn’t make you an evil and violent person. Drug addiction had absolutely nothing to do with him murdering Harmony. He’s a violent and evil person regardless of drug addiction. Many people that have struggled with drug abuse haven’t gone on to commit violent crimes and murder. He’s just inherently evil. Him and his defense just try to use addiction as a shield for him.

[@lisarogers7415]

Kayla a victim? She was a silent participant in the murder of harmony! She is culpable, NOT a victim! 🤢No matter how many times you say the same things doesn’t make it true!
