He said actor, she’s a woman, so that makes her an Actress, RiH to the Mother and my prayers goes to family and friends
I hate it when people use being under the influence of something they willingly take to try to lessen their punishment for crimes they also willingly commit. If anything it should be a harsher penalty. I mean people who drive under the influence are charged with a crime, then that should apply if they are under the influence of committing other crimes instead of using a diminished responsibility defense. Diminished responsibility should only be applied if the person was drugged without their consent and knowledge and they end up doing something illegal because of it.
Melody Farris’ trial is with the jury currently on verdict watch.
I don’t agree, Josh Ritter. Charges should be stacked. They committed the crimes, they should be charged!!
Leilani Simon, mother of 20-month old Quintin Simon, was found guilty of murder and throwing him in a dumpster, along with 18 other counts. I believe her sentencing is Nov. 7th.
Torilena Fields: reminds me of convicted murderer Joel Guy, Jr.
Hollywood sacrifice.
Im not a mom and i cant imagine hurting my baby like that…i cant wait to be a mom so i can experince what its like to be a protector and give so much love
These headlines are getting more and more crazy.
Wtf
Oh man that title alone scares me more than any of the actual horror films I managed to go out to see this year!
For Fields can't the defense argue the brain injury?
2:46 she was witch and was practicing witch craft. Why are you leaving that out?!?
As a North American white man.
I'm sure as God makes little green apples that it must be one of us guys fault.
Either by the female, the government or society.
As we all know a western woman just can't do anything wrong??????
Grrrrrrrrr!
:/
If you didn't get it.
That's sarcasm.
Everyone just ignoring the brain injury- did y'all get one of your own?
I think after hearing about this, people really need to stop saying someone's been "cooked" when they get insulted
Must be a family recipe?
The insinuations when talking about 'rural community' people had me shaking my head.
I can't believe he referenced The Practice plan b, one of the best legal shows of all time!
Strange cases i wonder how they will end.
The kids were unapologetic with their dad giving them money and were entitled. Yes they were credible. And mom shows no remorse. She is cold
Take a sick day… coughing, sniffling, clearing ur throat while ur guest is speaking is not only rude but very distasteful… not a good look 4 True Crime Daily
The evil we have to live with on earth my GOD.
Stop the bus I'm getting off this planet!
What's wrong with our society!!! It's all crazy….
I bet I know who she voted for!
Whoever did this should be put to death. She deserved so much better.
Wow what video title. Holy cow.
So sad israHell crimes are very hard
So Sad
