He tripped Shanda up so many times all she could say was "If that's what it says."

[@misswashington99]

Yes! The prosecutor took all the wind out of her sails when he recognized....& successfully objected to....Shanda's attempt to blame everything on undiagnosed mental disorders she claimed to have. She wanted to blame things like PTSD, disassociation disorder & other ailments, all based on hearsay that a doctor supposedly told her, not on expert testimony offered in court in front of the jury. The judge ruled without the proper foundation from an expert, Shanda could not assign blame for memory lapses on specific "disorders"...as she set out to do right out of the gate. As soon as the judge made that ruling, Shanda's defense fell apart. In a jail phone call, Shanda was talking about how case law regarding PTSD would blow the prosecutor's allegations of 'intent' out of the water. As we saw, after Shanda was limited to what mental issues she could cite in her testimony, she was reduced to having to continuously claim she couldn't remember anything which made her look stupid. 😊

@jens9458 Thank you. Defence attorneys are constantly misunderstood by people taking a simplistic approach. Speaking in defence of the client doesn't mean the attorney likes the client or anything the client has done, but the legal process has to be observed to protect all parties, and that's what he is doing. People don't think clearly - if a defence attorney is seen not trying to defend the client, a mistrial can be declared, and justice is not served at all. All attorneys want to be on the winning side, that's where they make their reputations and their fees. I admire much more an attorney like this who will work for the losing side (there was never any doubt of that), take the flak, and still do his best.

Shadra’s attorney claimed she had never been in trouble with the law yet her child say CPS tool them away. Seems nice child should have been allowed near her. I am amazed that her concern was making sure the record reflected her medication, work history and law degree BUT no remorse at all. Evil evil Woman.

[@sassdersham]

Funny how she remembers all of that but can't remember any texts or actions she did....🤔

[@tammywright4436]

Bullshit! She did it! So treet you child like and. Animal

[@maandren]

@@sassdersham Just a lying snake. So glad she's locked up for life.

[@katywuste9054]

There were allegations of abuse by her and Paul. This was physical and sexual towards Timothy

[@conniemorgan8402]

Never mistake education with intelligence..

[@alley1433]

Bam! Exactly!

[@Hull1986-pz2dc]

She took a little boys life away, tagged and tortured him. Now she's going to be the one caged. For the rest of her life. Fitting. I hope she understands that karma never loses an address.

[@tatianaquiroz4615]

They were so worried about little things on paper that had errors and did not show the same concern for the little one that lost his precious life, Timothy! Typical narcissistic behavior. I had to skip her lawyers plea for her life because it was all about her and not the fact Timothy lost his life and was found in deplorable condition. RIP Timothy!

[@JustJenTruthFinders]

She is sadistic villan. She also made her kids watch porn videos and there is SA involved in her past. She wants legal control of little G her youngest son. There is a court case for this. I pray they keep little G well away from her. There is a lot more to this if you read all the statements from family, teachers, work colleagues. She makes my blood boil. There needs to be a new legal bill where is you lose custody of a child it goes on your criminal record. TIMS LAW. How did they vet her for the Bar? She does have a criminal past. She was a registered child abuser. Xxx RIP TINY TIM 💕😪 Xxx

[@amusingkiwi1981]

Where would I go to read these? Please & thankyou 😊

Hearing all them years that she gotta do makes me smile

Well done prosecutor and judge. Brother and sister spoke eloquently

[@user-jz5ye1iu3k]

PLEASE do not allow the guilty one to be occupied with court papers, chit chats, whatever takes away her listening to the sentence she is going to receive as this helps her to 'switch off' from what is going on around her. She should be made to stand up and listen and take it on board in order she must face the cameras too - cannot believe how she manoevres around to avoid every bit of contact including face to face, this is so wrong!

[@aprilstar1682]

He absolutely deserves to be charged with first degree child abuse or at the very least first degree child endangerment. The courts gave him custody and her supervised visits. By letting her have Timothy just to make his life easier, he gave her that child, against court order he should absolutely be charged. HE had custody of Timothy. HE was responsible for Timothy’s care and well being. She got the right sentence but he should be charged to. Well, I hope that he got what he wanted, I hope his life is easier. He pawned off his child to someone Who is not supposed to have him without supervision, and he got the expected outcome that you would expect when you put your child with someone who’s not supposed to be in contact with them without supervision. He can’t act surprised this is why the courts have visitation with supervision. He should be charged with negligent homicide. He should have known that putting his child with somebody who isn’t supposed to be around them without supervision would result in some sort of tragedy. He is ultimately responsible for this Childs death. And hopefully he’ll have to live with that for the rest of his life. Although I can’t imagine either parent really cared about this child. It’s sickening.

[@EileenThompson-cq8nd]

I agree!!!! And he didn’t even check up on him!! He failed Timothy in so many ways and it cost that poor child his life. Timothy SUFFERED!! I am beyond heart broken about this child.

[@mommyof3_908]

Listening to her lawyer attempt to defend her is just enraging. I know it's his job, but holy hell... Talk about reaching. 😩🙄

[@user-mb6ll3no3s]

I'm very PROUD OF THE JUDGE

[@nickygriffith5417]

Cries for only herself.

[@PaulaValentine-pi6jp]

The way she keeps talking to her attorney while the prosecutor is speaking about her is infuriating. She think the world revolves around her. She is just a monster. Plain and simple.

[@BabyYoda230]

It’s called deflection.

[@WJK2198]

What other court matter did she have? Her attorney is so petty. I cried the entire time Timothy brother and sister gave victim impact statements. No one cares about your degree or internship. She didn’t show a single emotion

[@sakinah9901]

Mr Roberts the Prosecutor blistered her evil hateful behind! He did his work on this case 👏 Great works Mr. Roberts ! As they say: You did the damn thing

[@user-ss6ub5sy5y]

What the hell is she writing. She's done. Lock the door and throw away the key.

Most likely asking about her appeals

Ghoul...bye. ~Darling-dear Timothy, you are ,Loved and Missed. And, now you can Rest in Forever Peace Paradise.

[@katea6067]

And at the end she said to her attorney she was worried about having money to order stuff? What an evil woman.

[@jmw3581]

I hope the other prisoners that are missing their kids while in prison teach her a lesson.

This is one of the most horrific cases I’ve ever heard! What is wrong with these parents? 😢 RIP Timothy ❤

[@chele9682]

WooHoo she got what she deserved !! Now when are they gonna charge the FATHER for allowing that child to go live with her when he KNEW she wasnt suppose to be around Timothy ??? He ENDANGERED that child !!!!

Hopefully street justice will get the dad. I bet he's running away like a coward

[@LeaksRepairswhenurplumbe-bn6xk]

For us survivors of nasssistic abuse, thank u judge for acknowledging that He won!!!

I lived it and still at 54 live it as long as my mother lives i am subjected to her abuse

[@Rollimggiant]

Ty amen to that 😢

[@chesseymathis6889]

I love the judge’s statement on being happy that he’s no longer here for her to continue torturing him because she was just gonna keep going. Sad that he never had a chance to live to his fullest potential. Rest in Peace Tim!! You are no longer suffering and in pain🙏🏾💐❤️

[@tiffanyparke3707]

Nolan and Millie, know that none of this is your fault! My heart breaks for your family! Timothy will stay with you always. Hes in your heart and on your side always... His story is reaching millions. And I hope 1 day the justice is served by changing the whole justice ystem. Not 1 time did shonda even look over to her children. She is sick. She is not capable of feeling remorse or guilt. All of her children deserved so much better. So much more. It's completely unfair the cards some of us are dealt. I hope you all can find peace in knowing your sweet little brother is no longer hurting. No longer looking for love. He knows you love him Millie and Nolan. He is forever with you. ALWAYS ❤

[@lisasisserman7452]

Thank you I know how hard it was for your news crew to watch this and witness this We appreciate you guys for doing that I know it's very very very hard god bless you all

[@user-qp3ls5we2j]

Yes she most definitely pat the $5,000.00 dollars because she sure never spent any money for food for Timmy

[@zoefree3950]

I tell you what counsellor, what this monster should have done was ask for help or give her children to people who loved them, she didn’t make one bad decision, she chose every day to abuse that poor boy and clearly she enjoyed it, she’s a sadistic witch, end of story, she got off on the power she wielded 😡

[@Hull1986-pz2dc]

True.sadistic . heartless. How on earth could she do that? No compassion.

And certainly does the Judge who deserves the Title "Your Honor".

Mr. Brown is smarter to know what will prevent Ms Vander Ark from appealing her conviction but at the same time knowing she doesn't have a chance in hell at winning 😮😮

Outstanding judge outstanding prosecutor defense attorney gave plea for mercy... excellent outcome..RIP with Jesus now Timothy..❤

[@sandybrickman1392]

Agree, this judge is amazing! Good for him!

[@angelmission]

Paul should be next. He was a grown man. He had many opportunities to save his little brother. He demonstrated on several occasions that he had the capacity to say NO. He also did things beyond what his mother told him to do. He should not go Scott Free in this.

[@duckducknight]

From what I have seen of Paul he seems a little slow.

[@angelmission]

@@duckducknight Not slow enough to get away with murder. He demonstrated he knew right from wrong and he was rather articulate. I think it started with him trying to garner favor from his mom, but I think he learned to enjoy it and that is shown by his adding punishments that his mom did not request. He was partly responsible for his brother's death.

[@Nba7yt]

​@@angelmissionexactly this! At 18 I was kicked out of the house, and here this 19 year old man is worried about what mommy would think or do if he didn't take part in abuse. Society treats people like children well into their 30s, and it makes me sick. It is Paul's fault for, number one, being a legal adult and taking part in felony crime. Number two, using the sanctuary his mother provided from preventing him from doing the right thing.

[@kalimariah1]

Paul is definitely special needs , functional but way from the norm ! Wake up … he acts so young , smart !!! BUT and he is special needs , with a normal family he would of been ok but with that ????

[@janelourdesdelossantos9668]

She should PRAY now and ask Forgiveness to our CREATOR!

[@PrincessofErised]

The ONE thing she said after being sentenced to 50-100 years in prison was the restitution would prevent her from ordering stuff. Nuff said.

[@amylynngriffith]

She should've never had any children after listening to her grown kids' speak. In fact, this is when a burning at the stake would be a proper punishment. Her facial expressions and her trying to talk to her attorney those statements shows how she's no mother and she has no conscience. No tears no expression of remorse at all when each person spoke. I've never seen a more evil human as her. She could've made a good life unlike what she had as a child but instead decides to be more evil while including her child as an abuser like he was her apprentice. Who cares about the education she supposedly worked so hard to get. All of that was a waste of time. She should've went to school to learn how to be a mother. This psycho cares only for one person and that's herself and should NEVER had children. It wasn't his fault she was abused as a child. She had one job that mattered most of all and failed miserably. All of the education she received means absolutely nothing when it's obvious she put herself over all of her children every time. I wonder if his caregiver who threw him away to her had any charges since she wasn't supposed to have him? No death penalty in that state?

[@8494red]

The judge is #1, lets go

[@WE3LSC1937]

21:50 Uhmmm to the defense attorney, I look at the monster sitting to your right and I can CLEARLY SEE the tail, horns and pitch fork you mentioned.

[@Liciablyth]

The prosecuting, defence attorneys and teams and judge did very good work on this shocking case. Thank you all for your empathy. It seems that all the systems involved in this case, save for the child protection systems, did very well.

[@bobbiegentilquore9496]

Made “a” mistake ? Oh boo hoo to the both of you 😡

The judge probably cried over this child he never even knew while the woman who gave birth to him can't shed one tear for him 😑
