@@verabolton she actually doesn't. anymore than you know mistakes you make or miss opportunities to care for others. this is different. my mom was like this. they are bout conscious they are lying
For people that are watching the livestreams, it's really infuriating to see her saying to almost everything "I don't remember due to trauma sir". It's cute to see how she believes stating that she doesn't remember abusing her children will help her. (despite there being evidence from her directly stating the contrary)
I would expect testifying about torturing my child would also cause a blackout. They should inquire about her stress level on the stand? Is this not stressful? How are you functioning?
The court orders her not to be alone with Timothy unsupervised . The father had a stroke and gave Timothy to this demon. And she tortured him and orchestrated her adult son to do the acts. As he would be just as culpable .
Timothy weighed 69 lbs when he died. The Jury took exactly 69 minutes to find her GUILTY of “1st degree FELONY murder” and “1st degree CHILD ABUSE.” God is watching Shanda. Karma, Sweet, Beautiful Karma. This “creature” is NOT a mother. This “creature” IS a MONSTER. Rest In Peace sweet Timothy. You are in the hands of Our Father. You are safe and loved. ❤
Amen!!! Kinda interesting that he weighed 69 lbs and they deliberated for 69 minutes! WOW! No accident! She tries so hard to be a believable liar but it just doesn’t work!
She even looks hateful. She really IS pure evil. Hard to imagine how anyone could torture/abuse their child like that. Makes my childhood of abuse look much milder.

@@katharsis3754who says all parents are loving and caring? I was fortunate to actually have parents that at least loved me. But i knew plenty of friends who couldn't say the same. Not quite to this extent. But as far as my experience goes, people take the testimony of children, when it comes to abuse, very seriously. Your statement makes you sound like you have a severe issue being around society.
@@katharsis3754really rich to copy and paste the same comment over and over to not even care about peoples stories, the so called “childhood experiences” you pretend to care about. 🤦♀️
Shanda managed to keep plants alive but can’t do the same for a special needs child? And she is throwing the other son under the bus? Her audacity is mind blowing. Timothy is in the arms of the Angels now and his suffering is over.
@DontHurtM3 I would love to understand the thought process behind your comment. Are you skimming comments for an opportunity to slam on those with certain believes? Is this how you pass your time online?
I’m so glad she testified. Her turn in the spotlight highlighted how evil she really is. What poor little Timothy endured is utterly incomprehensible to me & absolutely horrifying.
She really thinks people are gonna believe she doesn’t remember all the horrible things she was sending ? She was constantly punishing him, it was a daily thing. How does somebody not remember that but she remembers random stuff that doesn’t involve him. When her time comes, god will show her all the pain she put him through. May he Rest In Peace now.
This woman doesn't remember anything she did but remembers everything Paul did. She's lying she remembers everything. She actually doesn't think she did anything wrong. Evil.
Where is the father, stepmother and step father, grandmother, etc. Not a single mention of them. This woman is beyond evil. One wonders what the older children endured, yet; Paul was manipulated and tormented and Timothy severely abused. What about Gabriel? Not only did the system fail these children, their own parents and extended family did as well. Horrific.
For her to turn out like this she had to have a parent exactly like her who taught her this stuff. Abuse gets handed down, unfortunately, because it's all they know. Not saying all, but most do. Paul lived with her just 1 year before Timothy's death, after he'd already graduated high school. So idk how abused he was, but yeah she passed it down to Paul, too. I thought the same thing.. no aunts or uncles or grandparents. Sad.
It is astounding and very disturbing how she shows no emotion, remorse or embarrassment while reading those texts about the torture that was inflicted on her own son.
I think she did that to gain sympathy from the jury. After that prosecutor was done with her, she knew she was toast. She thought by taking the stand she could claim memory lapses and somehow that would excuse her despicable behavior. What a loser! Remember she has a law degree, she thought she could outsmart the prosecutor and the judge. That type always thinks they’re the smartest person in the room. They are very dangerous.
That poor child never received one once of love since she received him I pray she gets life without parole then to have her other son do the same thing life without parole for him to
This is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. I work with special needs kids for a living, and they are the most beautiful, kind, and gentle people in the world. I can't comprehend what this poor boy could have possibly done for his mother and brother to treat him the way they did. As a parent, you're supposed to love, care, nurture, and show them how to survive in this world, not hurt them, torture them, and punish them for eating. The fact that she is saying she can't remember anything is beyond ridiculous. She deserves everything that is coming to her.
That DA is spot on! He ALMOST repeated what he initially asked but not quite, he said “so you remember he weighed 108lbs” when he knew she knew & he knew she would repeat the exact weight being 104lbs.
When the law allows these deviants to suffer the same cruelty they fealt out, things will change. This wicked female couldnt handle 1 ice bath or 1 chug of hot sauce poured down her throat, but she did this to this innocent kid for YEARS. he didnt even resist . Poor baby. Rest in peace
I scoffed when she said that. One of the more ridiculous things that came out of her mouth. The fkng nerve of her. I want to hear the jury’s thoughts on her testimony and what stood out to them.
She tried to use blacking out and PTSD as an excuse for her abuse ... You can tell she was lying. But im glad the jury saw thru all of that and she got life in prison.
my brother with special needs had violent outburst through middle and high school, where he had to be physically restrained. my parents NEVER hit him, punished him, anything. They made him pay for whatever he broke and clean it up. they took away his phone or something, but never, even when he was punching my dad did my dad ever fight him back. He simply held him down so he would not hurt himself as he was threatening to do. I had to call the cops once, and still my parents NEVER would DREAM of doing things like this. this is disgusting! He is now 23, doing much better, controlling his outburst. He isn't able to work due to anxiety but my parents make sure he still does things around the house and has opportunities to make money
Makes you wonder just how disabled this kid really was. I'm sure he had autism, but he could be like your brother and doing relatively well if she wasn't his mother
@@rosesweetcharlotte my mother loves him so much. She would never hurt either of us. I’ve heard the same sentiment from other mothers about how deep the bond between a mother and child is. This woman did not care about her son at all clearly and didn’t even give him a chance and it breaks my hearty
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT Prosecutor and FLAWLESS Cross Examination, Step by Step detailing TORTURE and HORRENDOUS ABUSE of Timothy. The CONTEMPT in his Voice for her is brilliantly conveyed yet he NEVER raises or changes his Voice! This Cross should be REQUIRED viewing in Law School!!
The “smartest” woman in the room wants us to believe she shared the Easter basket candy with the child she targeted for starvation and further torture.
I think she “had” to testify bc the texts were so damaging. She needed to somehow try to show the Jury she wasn’t a sociopath. She probably thought her high intelligence could stand up against the prosecutor’s questioning, but she quickly started to crumble.
Exactly she thought she could explain away those texts but the brilliant prosecutor trapped her. Then, she fake throws up to try and salvage her testimony. Pathetic
I have Autism and ADHD, She hated her son Timothy because he had special needs, what a sadistic wicked woman. I pray that Timothy is with Jesus getting the love that she never gave him!
I have three kids that have committed such “crimes” almost daily. It has never occurred to me to use any punishments other than scolding and explaining. This woman is an unnatural mother, a monster.
I get what you’re saying and I’m sure you’re a great mom but what is the “crime” even committed here? Him wanting to eat and sleep? Why even scold a child for that? Unless I’m missing something?
@blake1720 Apparently the initial ‘crimes’ were using his iPad for entertainment and similar minor disobedience. They were things that parents might scold for, but tiny things
She took her ugliness, her anger' her depression , all on this poor child!.. She abused him to make herself feel important! that is beyond sick! disturbed! the prosecutor should yell the power of christ compels you. her two sons did NOT deserve any of this! get HELP lady!
I think as a narcissist she has contempt for her special needs son as he is imperfect unlike her academically high achieving self. Good example of how high intelligence has nothing to do with emotional intelligence needed to be a good parent
@@staciacrick3373she said he was always on grade level though. They haven’t been clear enough on what the special needs were besides ASD and SPD “hyposensitive.” But of course you can have both of those and still be high achieving.
@@DoRNURSEThe fact he has any needs for a a problem fur a narcissist… let know whatever extra help is required because of his diagnoses. Children are an extension of their narcissistic parent and this mother likely felt much more contempt for this son because of his additional vulnerabilities.
Yeah but the other son does deserve jail time. I almost would say the other one is a sicko as well. We see little kids escape and tell someone when the parents are mistreating another sibling but neither of these did. All of them are sick.
Knowing what it feels like to take a cold bath only for a minute or two let alone an ice bath for hour after hour! Unbelievable! It is certainly torture because he was not allowed to find relief. Together with starving him. I can't believe the brother did what his mother told him to do. He should have run to family or police right away when he saw the abuse and refuse to be a part of it.
Notice the words she used about Timothy. He stole something, he was sneaky and deceitful. She has no freaking clue! Why is she even a parent? She can remember what she wants to. I’m so disgusted with that being. She’s not human
Hard to believe that she was a court reporter and then she made her older son abuse the disabled son this is over 50 times worce than the boy in the box 😠‼️
I can't believe she even took the stand! But that's the thing with narcissists. They think they're the smartest people in the room. Same with Anthony Todt.
It’s interesting how her ptsd memory loss comes out when he brings up the most evil things she did. Even reading the texts she wrote she can only say “if that’s what it says.” Insane.
It pisses me off how she acts so confused & trying to have this innocent look & act. I wish the jury had the power to just agree she’s guilty without testimony. Because the rage I would have for her to behave like that after what she’s done. I would’ve had to be kicked out
Tax dollars should not be paying for this trial, some things are so horrible money and time should not be wasted when it is clearly them "buying time" before they hit the BIG GIRLS CELL!
She spoke of a mother in law..... where was she? There are neighbors.... where were they? ANYONE complicit in this boy's demise has blood on their hands.
The neighbors said Shanda & and her kids kept to themselves, and never really came outside. Paul & Shanda would leave the house to go to work. Timothy was never seen. Shanda also testified to not letting her MIL, the kids’ grandmother, in their house. Shanda tracked the MIL’s car via her phone to know exactly when the MIL would appear at their house.(She said they were on the same phone plan, which is how she could track the MIL by her phone). Shanda clearly kept everyone away.
Plants never missed a feeding huh? Prosecution is not holding back. Thank you for fighting for Timothy.

She can keep plants alive but not her kid. She literally treated the plants better than her own child!
To be fair, the plants can't eat her pop-tarts or chicken nuggets /s
@@rosesweetcharlotte lol that is true!
For people that are watching the livestreams, it's really infuriating to see her saying to almost everything "I don't remember due to trauma sir". It's cute to see how she believes stating that she doesn't remember abusing her children will help her. (despite there being evidence from her directly stating the contrary)
Next she’s going to say she has ptsd from her sons death 🙄
I would expect testifying about torturing my child would also cause a blackout. They should inquire about her stress level on the stand? Is this not stressful? How are you functioning?
I love when she clarifies what the texts mean but she doesn't remember sending them
The court orders her not to be alone with Timothy unsupervised . The father had a stroke and gave Timothy to this demon. And she tortured him and orchestrated her adult son to do the acts. As he would be just as culpable .
If she doesn’t remember it, it didn’t happen 🤦♀️
Timothy weighed 69 lbs when he died.
The Jury took exactly 69 minutes to find her GUILTY of “1st degree FELONY murder” and “1st degree CHILD ABUSE.”
God is watching Shanda. Karma, Sweet, Beautiful Karma.
This “creature” is NOT a mother.
This “creature” IS a MONSTER.
Rest In Peace sweet Timothy. You are in the hands of Our Father. You are safe and loved. ❤
Amen!!! Kinda interesting that he weighed 69 lbs and they deliberated for 69 minutes! WOW! No accident!
She tries so hard to be a believable liar but it just doesn’t work!
You can tell the prosecutor is infuriated with her. This makes me absolutely sick. Makes me want to be a foster parent for abused children.
She even looks hateful. She really IS pure evil. Hard to imagine how anyone could torture/abuse their child like that. Makes my childhood of abuse look much milder.
This is why I laugh at all the sheep out there saying: " 'ALL' parents are loving and caring" . When a son or a daughter is urgently asking for help, they are instead judged by those same sheeple by responding "get over yourself. Your parents do care about you" . The ignorance is all through the roof and nobody wants to acknowledge that.
@@katharsis3754who says all parents are loving and caring? I was fortunate to actually have parents that at least loved me. But i knew plenty of friends who couldn't say the same. Not quite to this extent. But as far as my experience goes, people take the testimony of children, when it comes to abuse, very seriously. Your statement makes you sound like you have a severe issue being around society.
@@ShopharTemple Don't ask me. Especially if you're NOT willing to wake up and see reality. Not gonna waste my time reading your story.
@@katharsis3754 hahaha. Just exposing your own ignorance. That's all i wanted to do.
@@katharsis3754really rich to copy and paste the same comment over and over to not even care about peoples stories, the so called “childhood experiences” you pretend to care about. 🤦♀️
Shanda managed to keep plants alive but can’t do the same for a special needs child? And she is throwing the other son under the bus? Her audacity is mind blowing. Timothy is in the arms of the Angels now and his suffering is over.
@DontHurtM3 I would love to understand the thought process behind your comment. Are you skimming comments for an opportunity to slam on those with certain believes? Is this how you pass your time online?
I’m so glad she testified. Her turn in the spotlight highlighted how evil she really is. What poor little Timothy endured is utterly incomprehensible to me & absolutely horrifying.
She really thinks people are gonna believe she doesn’t remember all the horrible things she was sending ? She was constantly punishing him, it was a daily thing. How does somebody not remember that but she remembers random stuff that doesn’t involve him. When her time comes, god will show her all the pain she put him through. May he Rest In Peace now.
This prosecutor is amazing. Wow.
Life without parole.
This woman doesn't remember anything she did but remembers everything Paul did. She's lying she remembers everything. She actually doesn't think she did anything wrong. Evil.
But she remembers that the reason of her not remembering CERTAIN things is her PTSD. That's the most amazing in this whole thing 🙄
Where is the father, stepmother and step father, grandmother, etc. Not a single mention of them. This woman is beyond evil. One wonders what the older children endured, yet; Paul was manipulated and tormented and Timothy severely abused. What about Gabriel? Not only did the system fail these children, their own parents and extended family did as well. Horrific.
For her to turn out like this she had to have a parent exactly like her who taught her this stuff. Abuse gets handed down, unfortunately, because it's all they know. Not saying all, but most do. Paul lived with her just 1 year before Timothy's death, after he'd already graduated high school. So idk how abused he was, but yeah she passed it down to Paul, too. I thought the same thing.. no aunts or uncles or grandparents. Sad.
@@TheVAULTofHORROR She could just be messed up Westerner. Stop your nonsense now.
It is astounding and very disturbing how she shows no emotion, remorse or embarrassment while reading those texts about the torture that was inflicted on her own son.
She never should have taken the stand she comes across as pure evil
Not only comes across, she IS pure evil.
Her reaction 🤢🤮 to seeing the photo of what SHE did to her own son!!! She is a monster!
Even the Judge at the end looked at her like, yes, look at what you did!
I think she did that to gain sympathy from the jury. After that prosecutor was done with her, she knew she was toast.
She thought by taking the stand she could claim memory lapses and somehow that would excuse her despicable behavior. What a loser!
Remember she has a law degree, she thought she could outsmart the prosecutor and the judge. That type always thinks they’re the smartest person in the room. They are very dangerous.
Did she really say I lose weight quickly and got that from me? JESUSSssssss she is sick
Well technically..
She’s talking like all this stuff is normal! Jeez… that poor child😔🙏
RIP, Timothy. No more torture or starvation ✝️
"Your plants never missed a feeding? How is that an argumentative question? She's proud of keeping her plants alive."
The prosecutor kept saying 108lbs and she kept correcting, “104”. That’s either cosmic karma or genius! 😂
He knew exactly what he was doing; he was showing that her memory worked just fine.
Evil Monster. Shocking to see all that Tim endured. May he RIP 🙏🏽✝️😇
Shackles handcuffed and had motion sensors on him .
That poor child never received one once of love since she received him I pray she gets life without parole then to have her other son do the same thing life without parole for him to
not one iota of tenderness , kills me
Ice baths & hot sauce without parole - EVER.
She is not taking no responsibility for what happened with this child
This is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. I work with special needs kids for a living, and they are the most beautiful, kind, and gentle people in the world. I can't comprehend what this poor boy could have possibly done for his mother and brother to treat him the way they did. As a parent, you're supposed to love, care, nurture, and show them how to survive in this world, not hurt them, torture them, and punish them for eating. The fact that she is saying she can't remember anything is beyond ridiculous. She deserves everything that is coming to her.
This sadistic B!tch will likely be housed in protective custody with like minded people.
That DA is spot on! He ALMOST repeated what he initially asked but not quite, he said “so you remember he weighed 108lbs” when he knew she knew & he knew she would repeat the exact weight being 104lbs.
The dogs and the tomato plants never missed a meal…
When the law allows these deviants to suffer the same cruelty they fealt out, things will change. This wicked female couldnt handle 1 ice bath or 1 chug of hot sauce poured down her throat, but she did this to this innocent kid for YEARS. he didnt even resist . Poor baby. Rest in peace
😢
'I lose weight very quickly, I'm assuming he got that from me'...🤢🤮🤢
Oh, he got that from her, alright. Her systematic starvation of him.
I scoffed when she said that. One of the more ridiculous things that came out of her mouth. The fkng nerve of her.
I want to hear the jury’s thoughts on her testimony and what stood out to them.
She has the nerve to scoff as if the context could change anything in this case!! Ice bath if he goes to sleep hard to misunderstand!!
She tried to use blacking out and PTSD as an excuse for her abuse ... You can tell she was lying. But im glad the jury saw thru all of that and she got life in prison.
She's like Sybil's mother...dark and evil... can't wait for justice for this monster 💩💀💩💀
@sararahman7731-my thoughts exactly.😢😢😢
Mine, too!
Paul was grown enough, had a job & could've told ANYONE at his work, even customers for heaven's sake! ANYONE! He's awful & terrible too
That poor young man. Shows absolutely no remorse or empathy for her handicapped son. Pure evil.
my brother with special needs had violent outburst through middle and high school, where he had to be physically restrained. my parents NEVER hit him, punished him, anything. They made him pay for whatever he broke and clean it up. they took away his phone or something, but never, even when he was punching my dad did my dad ever fight him back. He simply held him down so he would not hurt himself as he was threatening to do. I had to call the cops once, and still my parents NEVER would DREAM of doing things like this. this is disgusting!
He is now 23, doing much better, controlling his outburst. He isn't able to work due to anxiety but my parents make sure he still does things around the house and has opportunities to make money
Makes you wonder just how disabled this kid really was. I'm sure he had autism, but he could be like your brother and doing relatively well if she wasn't his mother
@@rosesweetcharlotte my mother loves him so much. She would never hurt either of us. I’ve heard the same sentiment from other mothers about how deep the bond between a mother and child is. This woman did not care about her son at all clearly and didn’t even give him a chance and it breaks my hearty
Bk you had wonderful loving parents!
Vaccines have injured thousands of kids for decades.
The reality is most people don't have that much patience.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT Prosecutor and FLAWLESS Cross Examination, Step by Step detailing TORTURE and HORRENDOUS ABUSE of Timothy. The CONTEMPT in his Voice for her is brilliantly conveyed yet he NEVER raises or changes his Voice! This Cross should be REQUIRED viewing in Law School!!
The “smartest” woman in the room wants us to believe she shared the Easter basket candy with the child she targeted for starvation and further torture.
I agree, she didn’t share nothing with him. She hated him.
It's funny how she remembers every detail for the defense lawyer but very little when being cross-examined.
she is faking throwing up
So forced, she will do anything to try and appear ‘normal’ yet she doesn’t know what the word means!
She drank a crapton of water too, makes splashy noises in the trash can
I wonder if there was actually anything in the trash can afterwards.
@AmandaLeigh1004 Sorry -- I didn’t see your comment when I posted about the trash can.
@@mitzahpink hey, great minds think alike and all that jazz!
She is going to jail for a long time. She’s a demon.
IDK who made the decision to allow her to take the stand but it was a disastrous one.
I think she “had” to testify bc the texts were so damaging. She needed to somehow try to show the Jury she wasn’t a sociopath. She probably thought her high intelligence could stand up against the prosecutor’s questioning, but she quickly started to crumble.
Exactly she thought she could explain away those texts but the brilliant prosecutor trapped her. Then, she fake throws up to try and salvage her testimony. Pathetic
She makes my skin crawl. That poor child to have a mom like this. Monster.
She may have got life but she will never suffer the way she made her son suffer !!
Give it time the prison is full of moms who love and miss their children.
I have Autism and ADHD, She hated her son Timothy because he had special needs, what a sadistic wicked woman. I pray that Timothy is with Jesus getting the love that she never gave him!
Oh sweet Jesus. Timothy "stole" some easter candy!!! What a crime.
I have three kids that have committed such “crimes” almost daily. It has never occurred to me to use any punishments other than scolding and explaining. This woman is an unnatural mother, a monster.
I get what you’re saying and I’m sure you’re a great mom but what is the “crime” even committed here? Him wanting to eat and sleep? Why even scold a child for that? Unless I’m missing something?
@@Blake1720notice she said “crimes” in italics lmfao she’s bruh sarcastic
@blake1720 Apparently the initial ‘crimes’ were using his iPad for entertainment and similar minor disobedience. They were things that parents might scold for, but tiny things
She took her ugliness, her anger' her depression , all on this poor child!.. She abused him to make herself feel important! that is beyond sick! disturbed! the prosecutor should yell the power of christ compels you. her two sons did NOT deserve any of this! get HELP lady!
I think as a narcissist she has contempt for her special needs son as he is imperfect unlike her academically high achieving self. Good example of how high intelligence has nothing to do with emotional intelligence needed to be a good parent
@@staciacrick3373she said he was always on grade level though. They haven’t been clear enough on what the special needs were besides ASD and SPD “hyposensitive.” But of course you can have both of those and still be high achieving.
@@DoRNURSEThe fact he has any needs for a a problem fur a narcissist… let know whatever extra help is required because of his diagnoses. Children are an extension of their narcissistic parent and this mother likely felt much more contempt for this son because of his additional vulnerabilities.
Yeah but the other son does deserve jail time. I almost would say the other one is a sicko as well. We see little kids escape and tell someone when the parents are mistreating another sibling but neither of these did. All of them are sick.
Her son is also to be blamed for not informing authorities. He is a working man.
This poor boy was eating raw hamburger, bacon…. Hiding candy wrappers because he’s literally starving to @@@@ing DEATH!
Wow. She can keep her miniature tomato plants alive but.... can't keep her son alive.
Knowing what it feels like to take a cold bath only for a minute or two let alone an ice bath for hour after hour! Unbelievable! It is certainly torture because he was not allowed to find relief. Together with starving him. I can't believe the brother did what his mother told him to do. He should have run to family or police right away when he saw the abuse and refuse to be a part of it.
With zero fat on his body too.. Insane.
Notice the words she used about Timothy. He stole something, he was sneaky and deceitful. She has no freaking clue! Why is she even a parent? She can remember what she wants to. I’m so disgusted with that being. She’s not human
She has a prison guard personality 😮
NUrse Ratchet too
Just like Ruby Franke
Somewhere between Hitler, and Dr. Mengala who tortured mainly young people with horrible painful tests, made them drink poison,and worse.
She reminds me of the female Natzie guards in the concentration camps.
She has no emotions.
She starves her son but keep her plants alive 😢.
she never got sick while she was with him in real life but over a picture, she can't handle it.
Hard to believe that she was a court reporter and then she made her older son abuse the disabled son this is over 50 times worce than the boy in the box 😠‼️
She was a Law Clerk Teaching Assistant at a University. She is a Law School graduate!
The narcissist that is her truly thought She would prevail by taking the stand
She's totally faking it when she acts like she's throwing up because of the pictures
I can't believe she even took the stand! But that's the thing with narcissists. They think they're the smartest people in the room. Same with Anthony Todt.
It’s interesting how her ptsd memory loss comes out when he brings up the most evil things she did. Even reading the texts she wrote she can only say “if that’s what it says.” Insane.
This person is one of the most sadistic, controlling people I’ve come across. She is a true sadist in every sense of the word.
This woman and her son act like psychopaths 😮
I think poor Paul became her chore boy, slave and abused kid
"poor Paul" ... don't let him fool you.
Loving the prosecution in this whole case. Also she remembers a whole lot for someone who doesn’t remember anything
I don’t think her own lawyer liked her. Putting her in the witness box was always going to destroy her defence.
He didn't .
A true psychopath.
It pisses me off how she acts so confused & trying to have this innocent look & act. I wish the jury had the power to just agree she’s guilty without testimony. Because the rage I would have for her to behave like that after what she’s done. I would’ve had to be kicked out
Why would she take this trial? Cruelty for no reason!
The creepiest person I’ve ever seen.
I'm speechless. Unfortunately, parents kill children way too often, but on-going torture like this?? Why did she hate him so much ?
I hate when she has all these mental health that not one doctor diagnosed her with to say she has all those symptoms but no proof
When her son Paul said, i think we need to feed him mommy, she said "i wouldn't have thought of feeding him eggs, not in the middle of the day "
Tax dollars should not be paying for this trial, some things are so horrible money and time should not be wasted when it is clearly them "buying time" before they hit the BIG GIRLS CELL!
I agree . His body was the evidence.
I can’t believe she took the stand! Obviously she was overwhelmed but getting outside help was a must for her family
She was never overwhelmed. She was a sadistic monster. Evil. Plain and simple.
This monster wants to be considered the victim and not the vicious abuser of her poor child. She's one of the worst people I've ever seen.
She spoke of a mother in law..... where was she? There are neighbors.... where were they? ANYONE complicit in this boy's demise has blood on their hands.
The neighbors said Shanda & and her kids kept to themselves, and never really came outside. Paul & Shanda would leave the house to go to work. Timothy was never seen. Shanda also testified to not letting her MIL, the kids’ grandmother, in their house. Shanda tracked the MIL’s car via her phone to know exactly when the MIL would appear at their house.(She said they were on the same phone plan, which is how she could track the MIL by her phone). Shanda clearly kept everyone away.
She despised Timothy, her and that psychopath son spent 24 hours of torturing him. Fake vomiting and lying through her teeth.
she didn't vomit at all. she tried to force her self but just coughed and spat a couple times, all a show for the jury.
She tried that crap when she was arrested at the police station.
Love the judge and the solicitor Shanda and Paul are where they are meant to be justice for Timothy ❤
What happened after the feed cutoff? Will she be in the stand tomorrow? The jury gets to ask questions.
