Man who stabbed ex-girlfriend 17 times addresses courtroom

Spencer Pearson, who stabbed his ex-girlfriend 17 times in restaurant, addressed the courtroom toward the end of his sentencing.

17 stab wounds means you heard the horrible scream from the 1st stab wound and you went on and stabbed that young woman 16 more times. This is mania. Amok. You are probably a danger even to yourself. In my books son, you are lucky. Because that woman survived 17 stab wounds when people die from just one.

He wants help so he can return to his family. Um. 😶 Um we never need you to be in free society. Unsafe.

[geothon]

He will get a bed, food and rolls of toilet paper for his whole life. That's a lot of help.

[Ratalie]

He doesn't care. As Madison stated "he's manipulative and a liar", which is exactly what he's trying to do here, manipulate the judge into a lighter sentencing. And lying about being sorry, he's only sorry for himself.

"June 3rd was the worst day of their lives and the worst day of mine" he can't even give them their moment without inserting himself in there as a person who suffered that day

He's only sorry because he survived his attempted suicid3 and will now have to spend the rest of his life in prison. He wanted her dead and should be sentenced accordingly

[Snoops]

Madison's Guardian Angel was working overtime that fateful day. Kennedy was sent to save her. That she survived is a miracle.

This guy is a weak coward! He should not have a platform or even allowed to speak!😡

[grimdrum]

He is a spoiled brat who could not take no for an answer. The football injury excuses are bs!! Millions of people suffer from head injuries but they dont try to kill people. The doctor said it is possible that it could could have affected his behavior but not probable. He is an evil monster!!!!

[fcxkuvy]

you can tell he's spent his whole life trying to talk himself out of consequences like this

[sharonhoyt]

Ask God for forgiveness and make the best use of your life in prison. Many people have used their life time in prison to make positive changes. It's up to you.

Should have got help before you stabbed someone mate.

What a strong young lady with a bright future ! Justice has been delivered...

[mariamoran]

He is asking for mercy? He stabbed this girl 17 times in cold blood, he is a crazy hell that will be rooting in jail. Come back to my family? Nuts!

“Save it, son, I’m throwing the book at you.”
No nonsense judge

[MissyGirl]

Man I do understand how his family must feel. My family has been through the same type of thing. My brother in law is doing 27 to life. The guilt and shame and embarrassment he has caused to our whole family is beyond. We are looked at as if we condone his actions. Watching my husbands mother and father age 29 years in one year was so painful and heartbreaking 💔 to watch. They never have recovered. Every where they went in that time they had to face what their son was involved in. Please don’t give them hate. They did not do it. Their son did.. nobody understands what family of the guilty deals with either. God bless that girl, and her family. I’m so sorry for what she and her mom went through on that day.

0:53 And there it is. I bet he obsesses on this, the public who have lashed out at his parents. When he looks up at the Judge, you get a flash of his anger, and this is when he is trying to be controlled.

He can't stomach the guilt he feels for what his actions have done to his family so he blames the public. Sounds a lot like Cluster B ...

Scary

Your apology is alittle to late. Your attorney needs to stop making excuses. He tried to get you 10 years. What a slap in the face

[DaniKouakou-bb]

How do you apologize for deliberately trying to end someone? Is he serious? Anyway, why is he still breathing and talking. Why doesn't the "criminal justice system" put him where he tried to put her?
