The mother is an exact reason why that girl is thr way she is

[Dobviews]

Ok, mom, you need to stop saying, "OK." Nothing your daughter did is "OK!"

*OK!*

[GammerGurten]

Not sure that her mom did her any favors with that awful selfishness.

[angeladavis]

The mother with the “ok” really upsets me. It’s not like she stole something….TWO PEOPLE ARE DEAD, you remorseless woman! This case is so devastating to those young men & their families. AS A MOM, TEACH YOUR DAUGHTER TO STAND UP, APOLOGIZE(which I’m sure is half-hearted & more pity towards HERSELF than the EMPATHY of anyone but herself), & take the FULL punishment like an ADULT. An adult who was in the right mind to get behind the wheel & PLAN this sabotage. So gross. R.I.P. to those promising young men!🙏🏽🙏🏽Shine bright!

The mother.. I have no words, what a horrible woman!

[stargazer]

That cringeworthy statement by the defendant's mom shows how the apple does not fall far from the tree.

[KPazzz]

The mom’s statement was disgusting and was all about making excuses for her daughter - I’m glad the judge called her out on it

[cz]

The mother’s pathetic attempt to excuse her daughters behavior for murdering her boyfriend and friend is disgusting. Her daughter took two lives and she made it all about her daughter as a victim. Absolutely disgusting!

[bensilberman]

I am shocked and appalled by this girl's mother!!! Absolutely disgusting!

[irismckay]

People kept calling her a murderer because she was a murderer. How terrible that the families and friends of the victims had to hear this murderer's mother justify the actions of her murderer daughter.

[roni-yah]

The mother of this girl sounded so horrible. I don’t think I have ever heard anything so bad.

[antonioalexandercastro]

"I'm sorry for the tragedy, ok?" Says her mom to the victim's family. She read it from a prepared speech, looking more at the document than in the eye of the family. So sincere.

[AlphaMikeCharlie]

If you can learn who someone is in 5 minutes,
Then there's not much about that person.

[JTCT]

Should be 15 to life for each victim. This is a bogus sentence

[Truthteller]

She should never ever get out of prison. Period.

[Katmcali]

That mother. All she cares about is her daughter. No sympathy shown for victims. Shameful

[AustinD]

Wow to yell "we know you're innocent" after she was sentenced was extremely ignorant and rude. She wasn't innocent - the court just decided she wasnt.
& how inconsiderate to yell that out with all of the families of the victims there!
Repulsive

[NJ-onpn]

A rotten apple doesn’t fall too far from a rotting tree - her mom and her plea speech sums it all up well! 🤮

[Patricia-gpiu]

The mother is like the daughter a LIAR 😡😡 we can clearly see the lack of empathy for the victims families. It is perfectly clear that the daughter was having a great time after having killed 2 people! I can't imagine the pain of the families hearing this lies from that horrible woman's mouth

[Roozy_Persepolis]

The defense lawyer showed more genuine emotion than the defendant and her mom.
