Sentencing for man who pleaded guilty in 5-year-old's death

[@patriciaburleson5720]

Yes the judge wasn't anyone's friend when the family didn't get their time to speak about the impact of this horrible crime!! Shame on the cold hearted judge!!

[@yvettemonique4330]

This dude was actually smiling walking in what a total sick f×ck!

[@margaretjackson498]

The family still had to hear the brutal details at least 3 to 4 times in this hearing. Not having a trial did not spare them.

[@jerrymartin3965]

Long winded and grandstanding judge.

[@beagrinton5934]

Why would the judge limit the grieving parent’s impact statement?

[@JazzyJ-tn9ph]

I'm Angry the Judge only gave the Family of Prince 3 Minutes to say what they wanted and needed to say to that Monster who took Prince's Life. They should have had as Long as they Needed to Speak their Mind before the Monster who Brutally Killed their Son is Sentenced! This Murder was Heinous, Brutal, Barbaric, Sick and Utterly Disgusting! Life is Not Enough! There are guys in Prison that Don't Play that ....Harming Children and Killing them. He may get what he has Coming to him, Justice! Prayers for Prince's Entire Family! So Sorry for your Loss! 🙏🙏🙏🙏😭💔

When people speak of "wasting taxpayer's money" this is what really cost $$, the judges, attorneys, district attorneys, jury members, jail guards, bailiffs, court reporters, secretaries, assistants....so on, so on, and so on.

[@Elizabethvaughan1]

The judge did not need to recount the disgusting details that had already been stated by the prosecutors . Needless retraumatizing of the family and inflammatory ! All she needed to say was LWOP and Gen.Pop.

[@HeatherANelson]

I thought it was limited to 5 family members, given 5 minutes each. I'm not sure where I stand on this, but having the family have to endure much more (thinking of Prince's father, who had to leave the courtroom at one point) would be even more traumatic. I think there is a limit to the grief and suffering that family should have to go through. They will suffer for the rest of their lives, and taking on other family members' trauma and having to listen to details about how those family members lives are ruined - at what point is it just too much to bear?

[@thecrackofdawn321]

Disgusting the whole thing but to add insult to injury the judge only allows the family 3 minutes to give an impact statement it is disgusting!!!!!!!

[@noellelavelle3379]

He should be going to death row for what he did to that little boy. They put him through severe prolonged pain, fear, and distress,. What a tough wee boy to have lasted for as long as he did. I hope he is at peace now. R.I.P.

[@Bri66ette]

Definitely

[@rez3501]

I think this is the weirdo neighbor where the little boy went to their apartment to play video games. Allegedly the little boy got on their nerves so that was their response.. Nobody will ever know the real truth. And yes usual suspects.. 🤬 I hope they get their full share of karma in prison. Such a sweet boy 🙏💔

We are living in a World where Evil surrounds us. The only one to Trust is GOD. May Prince Rest In Eternal Peace. PRINCE IS NOW AN ANGEL IN HEAVEN.🙏😇

[@joshmirgan588]

Him and the the other guy that did were living with the family . They lived down in the basement

[@Bri66ette]

It says he lived in the basement. I’m assuming the same house

[@lisajeter9511]

Any other Judge I’ve ever seen allows a Victim to give an impacent statement without any time limits or rush.

[@noellelavelle3379]

To be fair, the Judge saw the Dad was distressed, stopped proceedings and allowed him a break. The evidence is hard to hear and comprehend. They are animals.

[@patriciaevans5906]

Why not death penalty for this….or was a plea deal reached?

[@HeatherANelson]

I looked it up and found that Wisconsin does not have the death penalty for murder or other serious crimes. In fact, Wisconsin is one of only 12 states that does not have the death penalty and has had it abolished since 1853, longer than any other state. You're right in thinking many states take that off the table when a defendant pleads guilty to a horrible crime. The reasoning is that the victim's family (and the community, jury, witnesses, etc.) will not have to endure the horror of trying this case and reviewing the explicit types of evidence we hear of at this hearing for weeks on end.

[@panzertooE-CollartrainingPAGER]

Unbelievable

[@imhereforitall9218]

Did he ever say why he did it? This is nuts. Usual suspects.

[@beagrinton5934]

My ♥️ aches for the family and friends of sweet Prince, may he RIP 🙏🏻😢

[@jamesmilet302]

I had lots of friends that where older then me as a child including a Veteran who became my big brother when I was ten. We even had another veteran on the block who was old enough to be my dad who took us took us to the range after church every Sunday. Me my brother Gary Hern another kid on the block would spend the night before going to church in the morning. We was lucky to have good people that never harmed us. Just like the two people I mentioned this family of the victim trusted this young man and treated him like family from what I heard.. Can’t imagine how they feel so betrayed by someone they trusted. I remember when I was 5 years old. It’s an age where you don’t know that evil exists. R.I.P. little Spider-Man😔

[@Bri66ette]

The poor family of Prince. People are so sickening!

[@MegaBossmare]

Not very smart with that officer bending at that inmates feet with a gun on his hip…

[@dorishenderson7417]

Is the court next to an airport or base?

[@lisajeter9511]

Who in the world cut this defendants hair?

[@goosewhisperer6275]

😛😛😛

[@Bri66ette]

He changed his mind and decided to grow it out. His only chance of living inside 😉

[@angelinacañez]

There is a special place in hell for these nasty wicked people. My gosh! My heart sank as I heard the detail of this little boys last moments. I am so disgusted I could throw up. I pray for his family who have endured so much pain from this loss. I can’t wait to see my baby boy after work and give him the biggest hug! 😢 This judge made me so mad!!! Let the family speak and say what they want 😤
