36 months?!?!?!?!? For murder and lying for 12 yrs?! Why not just give him a parking ticket. I am flabbergasted

[Dollparade]

If my murderer gets 3 years in prison I'm literally coming back from the dead

[sweetgirlrosenick]

What an insult to her and her family that he only got 3 years.

[JetBazooka]

3 years is an absolutely horrendous sentence

[TheTeslacoilz]

Why did they plead it down to involuntary manslaughter? He continued to cover his crime for 13 years. 3 years is a disgrace

[alisong]

When a guy calls 911 about his missing fiancée and has scratches on his neck, is he ever NOT the killer?

[juliahill]

Wow, 3 years! Surely if it was manslaughter the fact that he dismembered her body and went to great lengths to hide it and any evidence should count to adding to the length of his sentence! What an utter monster!

[brucescheiman]

Wtf 36 months for murder? Yet he was charged with involuntary manslaughter? What a travesty of EPIC PROPORTIONS. How absolutely disgusting that he will give a couple years of his life for taking HER ENTIRE LIFE. I'm so ticked off. I couldn't have seen this coming from 1000 miles away. The ada should be ashamed of themselves. If it was their family member, friend or loved one, they would have fought with all their might to get the maximum amount of time. There WAS NO JUSTICE FOR THIS FAMILY OR FOR KATELYN. RIP ANGEL. She thought he was her night and shining armor, yet, he ended up being her worst nightmare.

Three years might as well be nothing at all. If his current wife has any sense at all she'll be long gone before she ends up the same way. Ridiculous waste of life.

Always amazes me how inmates who share a cell start to confide to the other about their crime

[Deadwrongallalong]

Oh no, Katelyn’s dad talking about her and butterflies at 30:30 made me cry 😢 can’t believe the outcome of this one, three years isn’t even close to enough

[daviddelara]

When he said “I didn’t want this to get this far” that right there convinced me of his guilt along with the 911 call

[LegendaryAwesome]

Three years is an absolute insult to her memory. He should be rotting in a cell for the rest of his life.

[g.mhamilton]

Ok i'm 5 minutes in and that weird boyfriend John has already set my teeth on His girlfriend is missing & he's laughing in an interview.
Nevermind that 911 call.. "oh there's a festival down the street with dodgy people" yeah Right... He did it.

"Even though the maximum sentence was given and the judge's hands were tied - the lack of justice for Katelyn is quite staggering and very, very sad."
Obviously, I imagine anyone who watches this video will feel... just shocked, blown away, enraged, grief-stricken, and empathetic - wanting to share this pain with Katelyn''s father and sister and the wider community who are missing having her in their lives.
But that quote just struck me, in a way that this channel is wont to do, it's just SO very, very sad.

[vincytvholic]

The way the "justice" system is about getting cases closed and moving on rather than actual justice and keeping killers off the street is disgusting and disturbing.

[nishchalthakur]

The fact that this person will be out of prison is scary af.

[indie]

Three years? The justice system is broken.

[juliejohnson]

36 months?! Stealing a car would've gotten him more. 36 months?

[donlynefullofpeace]

My thoughts: She was ending the relationship, he was enraged, and he ended up choking her to death. John went next door to get his friend and they both got rid of her body. 3 yrs. is all that he got for taking a life. That is disgusting!!!
