Watch Live | Jacksonville couple being sentenced for abusing and killing 5-year-old girl in 2018

[@rogcat7181]

Their life experience before having children is irrelevant !!! Bottom line is if you're not in a good healthy place in your life DO NOT bring a child to join you in your misery.

[@UnfilteredAmerica]

And if you do, you need to get your life together or give the child to someone who can care for them properly

[@kimgale262]

BS........I was SA'd when I was a child, I NEVER received therapy, my mother only found out when I turned 26 and the only reason I told her was to protect my children. I NEVER ABUSED MY CHILDREN AND THEY ARE BOTH STILL ALIVE...............NOT a valid excuse !!!! I hear A LOT of crying, but NOT A TEAR TO BE SEEN SMH

[@antonichristian5845]

was thinking the same thing, not one tear! pretty hard to cry without tears they kinda go together... SMH

[@MilkMarie9096]

It’s fake I met her in person she’s very cocky a thief and a bully, she is treated like she didn’t do anything wrong COs favor her gave her a nickname and she has special privileges 🤯 THIS IS DUVAL THESE PEOPLE ARE SICKENING. Take it back and do things differently? 5yrs ged class ain’t finished yet????? She takes nothing seriously but how much she can get away with

[@lisasmith8856]

It worked for Casey Anthony so I guess she thought it would for her. She should be glad they offered her a deal because she didn't deserve it

[@bobbi412]

​@@MilkMarie9096 woooow it's amazing how women in prison give trash like this a pass smfh....now the dudes not so much heard it's rough as hell for them

[@vanitaboyd4945]

Thank you! This Judge hit the nail on the head! I liked when he said that Jonte was not even helping her with the finances and she still chose to be with him!

[@lisasmith8856]

He saw through her Luke a window. He was unmoved by her sniveling

[@feenarvaez65]

Ooh the judge said that? At what time?

[@blu3frogee599]

What powerful words when the judge said, ‘you are not a good mother’, then left several moments silence after the statement. I hope his harsh statement echoes in her head for many years to come.

[@sherry8894]

Just because she was abused as a child and claims she has PTSD is no excuse for letting your child be abused! She is feeling sorry for herself. I'm sure most would agree with me,as I would protect my children with my life before I would let anyone touch them! I was brutally abused myself by the way. I finally got away without looking back. I also have a lifetime restraining order against the monster that abused me. There's always a way if you want to leave bad enough. She doesn't deserve to see those children ever again.

[@pokerpegg1623]

Well… her sister and step father? Said she wasn’t abused.😮😮😮

[@christinapepper7019]

Exactly

[@levithewonderdog335]

She's only crying for herself 🤮

[@TaleathaBennett]

Qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq❤❤

[@karrie4400]

No empathy or sympathy for her. Justice was served for Zykerria. May she rest in peace, and these monsters can never hurt her. Heartbreaking for the little girls, one who lost her life by these monsters and her sister to see the abuse that was done. May her sister get the healing she will need.

[@claudiavaden2454]

the fact that she was praised for babysitting others children proves again that she knew the correct way to care for children. when it came to her own she failed.

[@sus-tw2ls]

She didn't abuse the baby. Her man did but she ignored the baby's suffering & couldn't see nothing but his sorry arse.

[@PrettyHarleyChickG]

​@@sus-tw2lsHow do you know she didn't abuse the poor child? I'm not convinced....

[@reignman4529]

If everything she says is true, then she deserves to go to prison for being such a coward.

[@LaToyaRidesvux]

She sat there and ate dinner with that "man" and her other daughter while her baby was dying. She's a sick person. She deserves everything she gets with all that fake sniffling and no tears.

[@dianapaxton8620]

I never saw one tear from the mother! Just a lot of rubbing her eyes!

[@VeronicaZapata1969]

As a child of the age of 5, I and my sister and brother were put in the foster care, me and my brother were both abused physically and me sexually until i got out of the foster care at 10 years old, going home to being molested and abused until i ran away at 17 but i ran away 3 times that my step father and my mother were the biggest abusers, as an adult now 55 and have 2 daughters i would never dare put my pain into hurting my daughters, shame on these people! #savethechildren

[@FMT2003]

The mom had so many people she could have reached out to and saved this baby's life! So sad. RIP Zykerria.

[@denben8530]

yeah and where is the family to speak up for this poor baby that doesnt have a voice state only had one witness for vis sad

[@Uapqv336xzuqk]

@@denben8530That’s exactly what I was thinking when her family were speaking on her behalf. Nobody mentioned the baby!

[@sus-tw2ls]

It happened in one day & she was at work. Why would she reach out for something she didn't know was happening? Come on now...be realistic

[@PrettyHarleyChickG]

​@@sus-tw2lsThe abuse happened over a period of time, the final injury happened that last day...

[@kimgale262]

ALL these people crying for mercy for the mother...........WHERE WERE THEY WHEN THIS Precious little Angel was crying for MERCY from her ABUSERS???? People should have to do programs and get certified before they are allowed to breed. EVERY Precious child deserves an amazing loving caring parent, BUT not every parent deserves a Precious child!!! RIP Baby girl You Are Free 💗🙏

[@marviagilbert7358]

I certainly agree they are all showing empathy for that killer mother while there was no mercy at all for that baby girl her tears are induce by the fact that she will be imprisoned .

[@SzLaurie]

I agree!

[@sonyaskogstad3849]

So beautifully said

[@sus-tw2ls]

Well of course they weren't there because they didn't hear her cries & didn't know.

[@sus-tw2ls]

​@@marviagilbert7358she didn't kill the baby. He did. Stop saying random stuff.

[@Uapqv336xzuqk]

“She was good to everybody’s kids.” She wasn’t good to her own, though! #SHAMEFUL

[@nicolerodriguez6765]

The sniffles still no tears.. Still didn’t win the judge over..

[@cammie8701]

She is delusional if she thinks her daughter is watching over her and serving as her guardian angel! Hell NO! Baby girl is eternally free!

[@briannoland3544]

Just just pure evil when some women can't have children

[@MrsFox827]

Good job judge! 30 years bye lady!

[@deonjones2643]

Sad that the beautiful girl went through this injustice sad not fair justice for her today

[@lastcall3366]

She should have gotten at the least 40yrs to Life

[@sus-tw2ls]

For what exactly? Have you followed this from the beginning?

[@lisasmith8856]

She was offered a deal to testify against Jonte otherwise she would have

[@dizziechef9502]

These ppl in the family are all guilty for not noticing that this family member was abusing the child. They had to have seen it. How does she become the victim after abusing and killing her little girl. Only 5 years old, innocent, unable to help herself . She’s not the victim. Her baby girl is.

[@sus-tw2ls]

You must not have followed from the beginning of this. How can family that's not in the same state be guilty or family that don't live in the same home as the child?

[@kathyboyce3277]

Throw away the key !!!!

[@Jan88755]

None of her family knew about her childhood abuse ….umm

[@brendabrazell2556]

Big bad man too abuse and kill a 5 year child. Maybe he will get his in jail. Poor defensive baby.

[@denben8530]

Why is no one spaking in the Childs behalf Where is her advocates for her.. so sad

[@lorettajefferson7681]

The prosecutors was baby girl’s voice and he is in jail for his natural life. he can file all the appeals he want, he is done. Don’t drop the soap.😂

[@ladonnacoleman5046]

NOT ONE PERSON SPOKE FOR THIS BABY😢🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤡🤡BYE-BYE DEFENDANT'S👋🏾🙏🏾

[@MilkMarie9096]

Exactly “she my best friend” WHERES THE BABIES SUPPORT!!!!!! Them ain’t friends

[@lisasmith8856]

She wanted a man so bad she let this monster harm her daughter. He wasn't even a man in any way to her or her children. My mom always told me you don't have to put up with no bunch of mess just to have a man breathing in your face. Thanks momma❤

[@dorothy2220]

Great Job to the Judge ...you didnt fall for those fake tears

[@gho7787]

30yrs is nothing for this woman 🤬that poor baby is gone

[@nicolerodriguez6765]

How does one cry without tears 🤔, *edited* she did have tears for herself I apologize for the confusion

[@sunnyann7]

Imo the sentences should have been reversed. Any mother who could watch her daughter looking at her with those eyes confused about what was happening and expecting help, the look on her face, is a monster. No excuses. None I wouldn't let someone get with mess with my dog.

[@jamieharper808]

As a child who was physically abused, my question was always, "how could my mother not protect me!?" And not why did he.

[@jamieharper808]

Gurl, this is the END OF YOUR STORY, Bye!

[@Tyjanbryant5358]

The only tears and plea is because she’s been caught and doesn’t want to go to jail

[@jrelevates1574]

typical, NO tears.

[@pokerpegg1623]

Not a very good actress! Blaming everyone but herself!👹👹

[@UnfilteredAmerica]

She had tears. But they weren’t for her baby

Rest in Jesus precious baby girl ❤😢 sad

I remember this sad story and its just sad I hate this..Rest in paradise sweet angel.

[@mstsh411]

i cannot hear 90% of the mother clearly has no voice no confidence or authority to protect those children. such a disgrace. as for jontae they threw the book at him and put underneath the jail. justice for zykerria

Nice try but your act didnt work. 30 years

Sad but true everyone don't have a beautiful childhood but there is no excuse to make sure that your child have even a worse childhood by being un alive by your boyfriend , she should get no more consideration than he got life in prison. Rip sweet angel❤

Wheres the tears

[@sammycrangle1000]

Well done to the judge

[@pattim173]

Demons don’t cry, They manipulate. Pathetic excuses for human beings. She put on a front taking care of other peoples children but I wonder what those children have to say about her. She’s mean and morally bankrupt. What was the guy she was with doing for a living? While these parents are trying to save their own hides who was there for the child? This has become the norm with this generation and the shock is gone. We’ve come to expect that children being raised in oppressed households will be abused and their lives taken. How does a woman lay with any loser, create a child and then resent it? 😢

[@DUBSTEP_KUSH305]

Why cry now!!??

A sickening waste of air.

You learned to love them in 18 hours but not enough to keep them alive and stop hitting biting and god knows what else, no, I was in jail with her she was a bully, and I was there for self defense I was bullied by this terrible human who “learns to speak up” after murdering her baby!!!! Absolutely not! You not coming back out here!!!!!
