[@ironmaven1760]

I feel her pain as a mother myself ❤RIP Mark

[@dawnnoel575]

Wishing peace for this mom. ❤

[@maryellenkirby8861]

I'm so happy that this lovely mother called out the defense attorney for his outrageous comments about her son that he never knew and dared to blame while the MONSTER who killed him sat there with no remorse. The defense attorney should be ashamed of himself. I don't care what his so called job is. It was unnecessary and criminal. God bless these parents. May their beautiful son Mark rest in the sweetest peace. ❤

[@americansunbeam]

I wish this poor woman peace, but she will never get over this.

[@rondashelton6561]

My heart breaks for her 💔😢

[@Harleythaqueen92]

Why??? Why?? Only 5 yrs??? This young man gets no life! No wife! No children of his own! No granbabies of his own! No joys of life he was trying to try so hard to reclaim!

[@patricias5122]

We need to NAME THE JUDGES who hand out these outrageous short sentences.

[@junesmith6689]

Oh my god. This is Sooooo tragic. Please bring some peace to this Mother

[@ashadecastro276]

Omg this moms pain. It kills me. I hope she finds healing. This pain will never go away but I hope she can some day feel joy again. This is so so sad

[@1tiredmommaRissa]

How could you listen to this poor mother and only give the person who did this too him 5 YEARS!!!! Where’s the justice????

[@KL-fm6od]

Agree

[@leticiamacias5481]

To the mother, may God give you strength and peace 😢😇🙏

[@thebuttersnob]

As a mother to two sons myself, this was extremely painful to watch. Hugs to this mama.

[@lynettejoubert4291]

5 years for murder???!!!! Stabbed to death for thinking he was stealing???!!!!

[@marteemp]

Beautiful tribute to a loving son. Now we know who was taken from this earth way to young.

[@--_-_-_-74..]

Sending healing light and love to you and yours ❤😢

[@coll4455]

Doesn’t matter what happened he shouldn’t have been killed. I lost a brother to an accidental overdose and the amount of people that disregard our pain and grief because of his addiction was cruel.

[@astranaut3967]

Pretty sick how society has decided we need to be perfect victims to be respected 🤮. I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. Addiction can happen to anyone ❤️

[@michelepalagano3194]

He stabbed him over a Gatorade bottle??

[@KL-fm6od]

Yes..this kind of ppl think that they can act like back home... This is USA with rues and regulations.If you decide to live here you MUST follow them.

[@jackieosegueda7504]

Very sweet and painful mother with the loss of her son, made me cry the love of a mother never died

[@vero4-d5x]

Only 5 to 7 years in prison? Total joke 😡

[@bfox5284]

“I brought him his Easter basket” speaks volumes in my opinion who she is as a mother. He was 27. ❤

[@hvrs_]

Mom he’s gorgeous!

[@illseeyouinmars9630]

I can’t even watch this Im a mom and it is so unfair and unjust what the judge gave that murderer! He should at least have gotten twenty some years! May God be with you mom through all this and some how comfort you. I really hope he gets what he deserves in prison!

[@stevenrodriguez9655]

Just curious, did he actually steal something or was it a misunderstanding?

[@bobdaniel350]

Maybe this is a hate crime?

[@judithdean8750]

I hope you read these messages of support mum from strangers who don’t know you but today we all got to know your son .. beautiful beautiful words in honour of Mark .. one day at a time thinking of you 🥲🥲 so very sad … from a stranger to you in Australia 🇦🇺 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@moda78z]

Poor poor mama ❤️😭

[@Newfoundlandxo]

5 years??? Wow 😢😢 poor mom my heart hurts 😢

[@eatwithcandy7147]

Even if Mark stole half the store😢 He didn’t deserve this as a mother I feel your pain and I know you were a good mama. God bless Mark in heaven God will not judge him. Like some people have on the comments.

[@janinebradbury648]

RIP mark ❤

[@michaelangelo7511]

A criminal is a criminal !

[@dandylioness78]

You can call the North Carolina Judicial Standards Commission to (find out how to) file a complaint about a judge..just a fyi 🙏

[@myp0h]

why complain about the judge?

[@Amanda-j6m4t]

Where is Taz from ? HELL. This mother's suffering is unbearable. God bless 🙏 this mother.

[@KeelyMurray-s4o]

Jesus keep this family in your loving 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@breanapadilla3661]

Your heart has to hurt after seeing this poor mama and daddy. You can just feel her heart break as she speaks. I'm so sorry for all of you who lost your loved one.

[@tonilharmon]

It would be nice if we could hear these things without the interruptions from the hosts.

[@pandorasghost999]

He was angry

[@RoyalPurpleStar]

Stabbing the poor man over a bottle of Gatorade?! Absolutely senseless.

[@FatemaGhaffar]

Ahahahaaaaaaa THANKU I NEEDED THIS TODAY...💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

[@DMSJagXK]

Drugs have ruined so many lives in so many different ways. They ruin the lives of the people that take them and the people that love them.

[@kittencatlover156]

this has zero to do with drugs. This is to do with a man killing another man. that is it

[@DMSJagXK]

@@kittencatlover156 If he wasn't doing drugs he wouldn't have been shoplifting.

[@Freedomfighter20251]

​@@DMSJagXKyour comment literally makes no sense..🤦🏻‍♀️

[@DMSJagXK]

@@Freedomfighter20251 My comment may make no sense to you!

[@claire-christmas-august73]

🕯🥺 heartbreakingly sad ✌🏻🇦🇺🌏🤘🏻

[@RoyalPurpleStar]

Ugh, this is gut-wrenching to watch and making me cry…😭💔

[@Tucker-l5t]

"Mark was a angel." An angel that steals from hard working people

[@Freedomfighter20251]

Found the Scrooge

[@KL-fm6od]

All yongsters do that sometime .. especially when sick of drugs.But the defended is NOT GOD to take his life fir $2 .

[@thebuttersnob]

You’re trash. Fix your head.

[@illseeyouinmars9630]

You do not kill somebody for trying to still a gatorade unless you’re a monster

[@lynettejoubert4291]

BS!!! The mother does admit and talk about his addiction....you have no heart....stealing does not warrant murdering him!!!!

[@vepr1332]

She sure glossed over that the guy was a habitual drug addict that struggled financially and most likely did shoplift and when confronted would have got defensive and likely belligerent with the shopkeeper.

[@kittencatlover156]

AND??? so you get to Murder for that. I would suggest someone KILLING is 1000 times more dangerous to have on the streets than a habitual drug addict and as for belligerent you clearly did NOT watch the trial. and why the hell would a mother bring up that stuff in her impact statement. He had zero right to Murder someone. There is seriously something wrong with people like you.

[@Freedomfighter20251]

There's something wrong with your brain somebody needs to fix it.

[@Freedomfighter20251]

People like you need to get a brain

[@KL-fm6od]

So well said ..​@kittencatlover156 .this kind of ppl think that they can act like back home...This is USA with rues and regulations.If you decide to live here follow them.

[@carolannpacificadam1944]

Absolutely true... something not right about em.

[@suzannevasterlings2084]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Masud_S_Hoghughi]

Her son was a thief, but shoplifting is not a capital crime

[@Freedomfighter20251]

No there's no proof of that

[@bendem63]

🙏🏼❤️🕊️

[@Swilla12]

She should have kept her son in!

[@kittencatlover156]

he should not have stabbed someone! fyi His son is a grown man. It is illegal to "keep her son in"

[@carolannpacificadam1944]

Keep him in what? Rotfflmfao at you... He was an adult. Not a dog . What world do you live in?

[@KL-fm6od]

😢 😭 😢 😭 RIP beautiful, Mark! May GOD send strength to your parents,to face this nonsense tragedy caused from a cruel man that wanted to vent his own problems with his agressive act to this poor guy.
