Emily Defries discusses conviction in prison interview

I don’t know what to think honestly. I’m not a crime investigator. But I have been learning about children with mental disorders. I’m not in school for it. But I’ve just always been fascinated in this kind of topic. Children can have rage issues. There’s a condition called Reactive Attachment Disorder. Where a child doesn’t attach to anyone to the point where they can become extremely violent. It starts to occur in children under the age of 5. Children in their first few years of life who end up with this condition, may have experienced separation from their families during a critical time, put in to different homes, therefore having inconsistent caregivers, their needs are being neglected therefore they have so much rage to get their caregivers attention. I don’t know what has been going on in this child’s life that would make her feel like she’s full of rage. But there has to be something going on with her that caused her to become violent. She may not have R.A.D. But there’s got to be something going on that caused this 8 year old to act out like that. As for Emily, someone needs to give her a chance to talk about the 8 year old with her biological dad to prove it.

In my opinion Emily is guilty, and she has the audacity to blame it on an 8 year old 👀😡

How convenient to blame a 8 year old for murder. I wouldn't be surprised if her soon to be new husband wasn't part of the plot. Why would a 8 year old kill her sister at 20 months and waited until they were in Emily's care to do it? Not buying it. Emily committed that murder. She didn't want that baby drama in her new life. She's a narcissist and a sociopath. They usually look like normal people at face value.

All I'm saying an 8 yo can murder a toddler. It's very possible and she is hot tempered. She is a narcissist and I dnt believe they have the guilty one in jail

How does a child at that age receive all these injuries without crying and screaming in pain? If she’s not personally responsible for causing any of them she’s at the very least guilty of a serious neglect of her duties. I remember my own kids would freak out at the slightest knock when they were at that age so I find it hard to believe everything she’s now saying. She’s at least not telling us the full story.

That juror is such a douche. What is not clear about “beyond reasonable doubt” that is needed for conviction. He admit he had doubts but convicted her anyway -_-

She did not hurt not killed that baby!!! I know of kids that age that get into the most insane brutal rages. The simple fact the 8 year old kept saying I don’t know or I don’t remember speaks volumes to me. My daughter is now 13, but I can’t remember how honest and outspoken she was when she was 8. And if in fact, the stepmom had anything to do with it, she could have pointed the finger but she didn’t. She could’ve said I heard my little sister crying or something but she didn’t say anything… I hate to say this but If indeed that little girl did it and got away with it It’s only a matter of time before her rage gets the best of her and she won’t have the same luck

Society doesn’t want to believe a child can kill but they do. They absolutely do

The bio moms reaction versus the step mom honestly says it all. That mom knows what her 8 year old was capable of. So I believe Emily is innocent. I also believe that she feels that no matter what she says she will not be believed because it her word against everyone else’s opinion.

Maybe the little girl did it all but the stepmom pushed her fown stairs. I don't yhink she would have hurt the baby maybe the older sister unless she wantrd baby hone so she can have play dates with her son again

I obviously dont know if she wad guilty, but i think there was enough for reasonable doubt

I’m not convinced that it wasn’t the 8 year old.
