People please, please be careful who you date. At the first sign of violence leave them. Do not stay with them, it will get worse, you can not change them. Learn how to protect yourself, and make your home safer. Get alarms, cameras, etc. Amie's sounds like a wonderful, loving person, and her friends, and family loved her. The world is less dim because her light was taken away.

I just started watching but I found it odd that her roomate heard her screaming and he didn't rush up to help her?

[jolo]

Of course he blamed her. Abusers always think they're the victim. Amy had such a bright future ahead of her. This was heartbreaking.

[even]

She was so beautiful, in-and outside, and her parents are so lovable! 🥰

[jenestes]

My goodness she is absolutely beautiful ❤I am so very sorry for your loss such a beautiful young lady

[ruth_gordon]

Her parents are such lovely people. And Amie had so many many friends who loved her so much. What a loss.💔

[mariehughey]

Even if she attacked him first which I don’t believe, she would have had a right to do so as he was the intruder lying in wait. Horrifying. The whole thing.

[rpskaza]

Even if some of these are reruns, I love them. They’re very well put together. ❤

[theresarasche]

I hate the way the defense will smear the reputation of the victim! Easily done when the victim isn’t there to defend themselves 🤦‍♀️😡😢

[manusha]

Defence attorney here, both those attorneys representing the accused should be disbarred for raising defences which make ZERO SENSE in law! Absolutely ridiculous!
RIP Amy ⚘️

[Cubbitalilly]

It's shameful, the direction of argument of defence counsel of Pursehouse. If Amie initiated the attack, rightly so. What was a stranger doing, breaking into her house?

[GigiRulesTheRoost]

Devastatingly sad. Her poor dad, there at the end. man

[Ladadeedeedee]

She was gorgeous!!! And charismatic and intelligent and succesful....😢 the more i watch these shows the more i realize that beauty talent and charisma are more prone to attracting narcistic psychopaths as romantic partners. They are attracted to the light and cant stand annyone else having it if they are not the one. Ladies we have to be so carefull who we let in our lives....😮😢. Rip beautyful angel ❤

[sunnysmiles]

A lot of this seems to stem from jealousy. Gareth was extremely jealous of Amy’s success along with a big dose of misogyny . This damaged and emotionally immature man felt entitled to access to Amy whenever he felt like it.

[eyesopen]

I'm a Man, and I am disgusted by people like this POS and he's not a Man, We don't claim him as one of our own. Also the roommate? Real men protect women and children and the vulnerable.

[LibertyOrDeath-msrf]

Oh my God she was so beautiful and stunning! It is hard to watch these anymore. All these amazing beautiful people just snuffed out like dogs. It is absolutely infuriating and heartbreaking!!!

[howiewill]

When she knew she was in danger and dealing with a crazy person and sent herself an email to document the situation. ❤

[Empathy-jm]

More and more it proves to me that even if a woman leaves their abuser she is still in danger. Sorry to say but once you have been in a relationship with one of these men, you are now their property unless he say otherwise.

[mo_better]

These websites that put people's phone number and address online should be STOPPED! It's dangerous!

[Crazynice]

Wow… rambling on??? Wtf?? I heard clearly my friend has been attacked.. I heard it. She was thrown to the floor. He’s trying to be as quick as possible because his friend needs help immediately. Cops are so tough as long as there’s no real danger. Go be a cop and help
