May the mother find comfort and healing and may the young man's loved ones not allow themselves to be victims.

It's a shame for both of the defendants families to act towards and put this mother through so much anguish and they showed so much disrespect and cowardly behavior by walking out when she was addressing the court, face it when your kid is wrong, they are just wrong and the main problem is we have too many absent fathers and too many enabling mothers who take up for theirs kids in their wrong doing and the thing is we all pay for it.

No just typical behavior of adults wondering why their children are being sent away to prison.

[@matthewcarte3192]

The mother and kids receive government funds at about 50k a year equivalent if you worked, she couldn't get that if she tried. Then the father of the children stays at another spot, pays child support and makes 60k or so a year somewhere. He pays bills sure, she doesn't, the government pays hers. that's 110k income to their household, an income they will never get any other way. This is the formula over and over again for poor families across the nation. It is intentional and encouraged by the government whether republican or democrat. I read that the top 10% pay 90% of the taxes. here's the solution republicans, cut all taxes of all kinds, medicare, social, fed, state even local for all income earners below 75k. they don't pay that much to the cause anyway. Then phase out the benefits and immediately allow fathers or males into any housing anywhere anykind at all. Tell me how this wouldn't work to build back the poor?

It always amazes me when I see so many family members in a courtroom supporting the murderer of an innocent child. His family did not seem to care about the victim's life or the family members who are suffering through the trauma of his untimely and brutal death. What is wrong with a group of people who will come into a courtroom and not shed a single tear for a 13 year old boy who lost his life in such a horrible way? It seems like all they want is to see the murderer go free. Don't they think that he needs to be held responsible for what he did? They don't act like that's how they feel. It's almost as if narcissism, antisocial thinking, and sociopathy run high in so many people these days as well as entire family units. Where is the compassion? Where is the sadness? Where is the anger and frustration towards the murderer? No wonder this guy turned out to be a killer.

@charitacoleman3366 please do not take this the wrong way. Words are powerful. They have meaning. Sorry, I am an admission of guilt. For me, my condolences soothe my soul rather than sorry. I would see my son's face every time I closed my eyes, and I knew that God was punishing me. I was so scared to blink my eyes. It was torturous. I would walk the streets, and I would cry under my mask. The moment when I realized how badly I wanted to go to my son's new home and dig up his body, and that I would probably collapse, was the moment I knew that my life was not worth living. I don't know who is in the process of taking someone's life, don't. I promise you, it is not worth it. Both families will suffer, and eventually, the guilt will gnaw at you over time. This person took it all. I wasn't there to help stop his bleeding. My son died all alone. I can not retrieve any of his belongings until he has exhausted all of his appeals. Now, my son has a new home that he can never invite me into, nor does he know that he has moved. What pains me the most is that the grave will hug me, son, longer and tighter than I will.

Nothing mentioned towards the murderer other than the obligatory "he's a good kid", and she shrugs off the situation by saying "I wasn't there so I don't know what transpired" but technology is a blessing and a curse. She also states that "everybody deserves a second chance". Um, no. Once someone takes an innocent person's life, there are no second chances. None.

Even f they didn’t make the NFL, they could have had a college degree and made a life to be proud of. Our middle school was having problems, mostly with boys. The school asked parents, especially fathers, but even uncles came and stood in hallways, the men stood proudly and spoke with the boys and girls, letting them know that they were cared about and much was expected of them as students. The parents were there for about 1.5 weeks and the rest of the school year was great (5mos). Children want boundaries and they want to see men and women, parents, family members and community showing them that they are cared about.

What else could they do? They’re lacking moral compass, empathy, and common sense. This is just PROOF of what people have been saying about the family.

[@marieceroberts2261]

Most likely, their example is why their relative are here in court.

[@marieceroberts2261]

This had me bawling especially when the mom spoke!😭😭😭

[@patricialynn6280]

The lack of remorse is incredible, the lack of any feelings at all is what todays world looks like in this generation

[@Skidaleon-yg8db]

it's called a psychopath

[@francesfinney8188]

A moment of madness causes a lifetime of sadness.

[@AuntBee59]

God bless this Mother.😢 IF YOU NEVER SAW OR HEARD REAL PAIN, THIS IS IT.😞

[@AuntBee59]

@vondellhenson763 Please listen. I cannot imagine the pain you are in. It will stay with you forever. Your son needed his daughter with him. He left too early. She left you to be with him. That will comfort you. Remember that. They are together.🙏❤️ I will keep you in my prayers and please feel the hug I am sending you through this message. You are not alone. They are right beside you. They have each other. They will be there to greet you when it is your turn and it will feel like there was no time between. God bless you.❤️🙏

[@donnaearle7080]

A pain that no one could ever imagine. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. I am going through this now. Trial in 3 months. I lost my baby boi at 23 in 2022 to senseless gun violence.

[@kaybee812.]

I have no idea why these young people do this! Why? Condolences to the family.

Video games, GTA, etc…family values, culture, upbringing..social media, music influence….etc

The way the second defense attorney addressed the victims family was absolutely disgusting. The nonchalant way he faced them and said “so, we’re sorry for your loss. We really are”. Are you? Are you really? Didn’t seem like it the way you said it. Oh, and after listening to Marco’s mom and sister, I think he regrets the things he said. At least that’s what his face looked like.

[@darrengreen9273]

There is a common denominator here that people refuse to acknowledge and speak truthfully about.

[@Pickled73]

What an amazing family. If we can’t learn from that family, Grace magnanimity strength of character, true faith, and the ability to look at this very vicious crime through the eyes. Through the eyes of character, so rare. I was so inspired by the family. Even the grandfathers short words were filled with strength and obvious wisdom. May that family know the strength of their face, and the purity of the word of God as they show it in their statements. Wow, what an example for the rest of us

[@denosnead8988]

He should never see the light of day ever again and see that young man's face every time he closes his eyes 👀😢

[@rhondawymer6320]

Maybe I misread Jackson’s attitude, but I swear the way he raised his head throughout looked like arrogance to me. Only he and God know his heart but to get 32 years for being the “big man” is hopefully a lesson to others that it’s not worth it.

[@albertcunningham5518]

No he's crying inside!!!

[@Cortesan2u]

My heart breaks for the victims' mother. I can understand the stoicism of the defendents' family in standing behind their own son, but if someone from the killers' family draped their mouth to say, ' Dig him up. '.. Shame on them.

[@donnaearle7080]

Billips attorney, are you serious?? The way he said sorry for your loss was lame asf! PTSD? Really?! And the defendant, wow! No remorse! I have no pity for those that take a life, especially a young child! My 23 year old son was taken by gun violence in 2022 and I FEEL the mother’s pain! I’ll be going through this in 3 months. God bless you Ms. Dean!

[@yourhighness0331]

My heart goes out to this mother 😢😢, these animals should've got life without parole, I don't care how old they are they don't deserve to ever see the light of another day...

[@westernhemisphere2205]

Both families are suffering she says. We're not worried about his family we're worried about the victims family!! HELLO!!???

[@barbarablake2357]

Give it a year, they will then begin to feel the weight of the length of time in prison. Crime and punishment.

[@Pickled73]

Oh my goodness that second criminal I almost feel like the attorney representing him makes you want to believe he’s one of the victims as well. It’s amazing how criminal attorneys can take a vile, selfish, narcissistic violent criminal, and turn them into a victim as well. Basically the attorney for the defense in the second criminal has stated that the violent murderer has already redeemed himself, and if they would just go easy on them, he would show just how nice it is for young murdering criminals to have a second chance. Don’t forget how well that worked out in the Darrell Brooks case, I have also never heard less emotion in an apology to a family than when he turned to the family and said basically I feel you. Is there anything less sincere than a defense attorney at sentencing? I doubt it I think the best thing that Attorney could’ve done was kept his mouth shut

[@feyfey6874]

They take the mark of the beast if they all refused criminals would have to hire one themselves instead of tax payers being forced to

[@BEAUTIFULQUEENSHOUSE]

I pray to God I Never feel that pain may God touch he's mother's heart 🙏🏿💕🙏🏿💕

[@kimgale262]

RIP little Marco. My heart breaks for this family 💔. May God bless them and put His arms around them and bring them peace.

[@iLLTimeMusicMix]

I know it wouldn’t bring her son back I wish I could give his mother a hug 🤗 my deepest condolences. 💐 😢😢💔💔 Rest In Peace young soldier 🕊🕊🕊🕊 🕊 in the end nobody wins.

[@dobetta7776]

That mother was so strong abd had. Me in tears both time she spoke oh my goodness. And then his sister they were so brave and made so many good points. Those murderers did what they did, do your time if youre truly remorseful.

[@jameshhenderson8243]

The mother brought me to tears 😢 big time. My heart is broken for her and her pain.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@jahneastanfield2662]

R. I. L. young man. I didn't personally know you. But; I send my condolences to you and your mother. May God provide her all that she is going to need, in the years to come. 💐💐💐💐💐💐

I am crying here at the doctor's office 😭💔 he sits there with no remorse so sad our kids are killing each other 😢

[@goldenstarr8469]

I know what a shame and mad dogging Marco sister with a smile him and his friend need to reap everything they sow until the end of time for doing this to Marco this is so sad

[@God-Love-Freedom]

@@goldenstarr8469 I promise you they will be quietly weeping dozens of nights under their sheets in prison.

[@itshrg2480]

Big sister said it. I see mom was a lot angrier than the 1st but I see why, him smiling at them during trial is ugly.

[@lili2u405]

I can't even finish watching this...I'm bawling😭

[@truffles2721]

The defendants are both adults. They knew what they were doing. No morals were taught in the home.

[@dawnkincaid5845]

Totally

[@wendywhite8464]

So some 19 yr olds went after a 13 yr old..this will never make sense!😢 They are some sad azz individuals and complete lack of values.😢

[@Florabama70]

You can tell the defendant is angry now, he doesn't show any remorse or compassion for what his own family is going through. Take the attitude to prison where you belong, society and his own family' will have a better life.

[@BrendaShamblin]

Didn’t even turn to respect his own mother.

[@soonnya]

There is NOTHING like the love of a mother ~ I'm so hurt for this Mom!
