My brother was 6 years older than me...he died when he was 25. My favorite memory of him was when we were shoveling snow (I was 8yrs) I told him my hands were freezing so he took my wet gloves off and rubbed my hands to get them warm and then put his warm gloves on me. We walked home dragging our shovels but his were the only cold hands. He was a great brother 🙂
i’m sorry for your loss. my brother once literally gave me the shirt off his back. our first and purest best friends. 🤍🤍🕊️ take your time, but i know one day you’ll be reunited.
I agree with you. I don't understand why he's allowed a free pass. He should be held accountable. Her knew how Shanda was, didn't she lose custody to the father? Timothy was failed by the people around him
the Irony! Paul, in one of his calls from jail, was wishing he would be diagnosed with Autism to get fewer sentences, but he was saying that Timothy was faking Autism. Now we know he is sociopath and worse
He seems to me like he's trying to make himself look like he's mentally incompetent, the way he's looking around, as if he doesn't know what's going on
He hasn’t learnt his lesson because if you listen to him on his jail calls he is bullying his cell mate who is also autistic, Paul is not autistic he is sadistic & deserves what the judge gave him
Absolutely! That guy randall thats helping paul appeal is a deviant just like paul.. anyone who contacts paul should not be allowed around children or the elderly.
Completely agree. His interrogation video is really telling too. He keeps saying that WE never wanted this, WE only wanted the best, WE never wanted Timothy to be injured or hurt. We being Paul and Shanda. He wasn’t afraid or coerced into anything; it’s more like he saw himself and Shanda as a team against Timothy. He enjoyed the power.
@janiedale5971 It's on CourtTV or this channel. I heard him talking to his dad about getting a ride home on the verdict day. He thought he was getting away with this. 😮 😲
This is why people who think he’s a victim in this situation and should have been given leniency need to read those text messages. Paul was an enthusiastic participant in all of it.
I could hardly wish that on anyone, let alone this poor judge. I am thankful to know they still exist, but my God! Most of us would likely have sunk so far as to emotionally drown. That he is so incredibly professional, considerate AND conscientious while maintaining his sense of justice and humanity is astounding. I agree with you and could kick myself for thinking it at the same time. Dig? That prosecutor is incredible as well, in my opinion. I know I couldn't have done it - ever.
@@hiddenhand6973 I thought everything he said was poignant, measured and incredibly grounded. Personally, I have no clue how, being that close to those two monsters, anyone can control themselves that well. Not me!
He was nice and fair. Hopefully he puts more of his trails on public platforms. This judge reminds me of a guy who works at a diner. A simple man who calls it like it is and doesn’t make it fancy. And this case was dramatic and sad at points . Very good judge we need more of him, Dorow, and other judges !
He tortured his brother with no empathy, extended ice baths, viciously hot sauce on his bread, in his texts he either showed no feeling or he was blaming Timothy for getting on his nerves! The remorse came after he was caught. Good call judge, this is a cold, sociopathic young man.
He could have gotten help for Timothy, and even himself, he could have said something to someone about what his "mother " was doing and what she wanted him to do to his brother, something could have been done, and Timothy would still be alive 💔😢
@@Pure_Imagination_728yes I agree 💯 with you. Paul thought he'd done a good job of manipulation on the authorities and helped them out by giving all the information on his mother's acts and that would be enough to give him a small sentence as he threw her under the bus. Paul is extremely delusional and full of self importance. He is evil and a monster. That look of shock on his face when the judge said 30 to 100 years will never leave my mind.
@@roxanamcglinchey6613 I had a so called friend in high school very similar in appearance and demeanor, total narcissist. Probably not to Paul’s extreme, but more of an emotional abuser and bully, belittled me often. Great at manipulating, great at playing the victim, often threatened suicide for attention. Knew how to get me to react and make me look crazy so he could gaslight me. Pathetic individual. I’m no professional, but I do have a degree in psychology, and from my own experience the narcissism is written all over his facial expressions and nonverbal behavior. I can see right through it. There are certain giveaways that make me go “oh yep, I know that look”
@@Pure_Imagination_728 I'm very sorry you experienced that bullying from your school days. Bullies are cowards. They leave their mark on those they bully for life though. I'm so happy for you that your a psychologist and it must help you read people well. This Paul is utter trash and his audacity to whinge is truly sickening , it's unbelievable how he complains about minimal things really. At least he gets hot meals in jail. Far more than poor Timothy received. Poor Timothy survived on hot sauce and bread for months. I'm sorry Paul reminds you of past hurts. It appears to me the worst behaved people expect the red carpet rolled out for them. Sorry I've rambled on here. I just can't get this piece of evil crap out of my mind. His mother too.
The Judge is amazing, but unfortunately neither one of those murderers will get what they truly deserve. They will be sent to prison and get a bed to sleep in, medical care, 3 meals a day and both of them have fools sending them money for commissary. They should be thrown in a cell with a tarp and be fed HOT sauce and bread until the day they both go to hell where they belong and that still would not come close to the amount of pain and suffering that poor Timothy went through. It makes me sick that he has an insane woman who is sending him money and wants to marry him, we can only hope that the prisoners will give him and his sorry mother the treatment they deserve.
Judge is Vindictive not Rehabilitative. BIOLOGICAL Father was Starving tim before he gave him to Shonda Teachers Reported it Paul was Abused by Parents expecting him to take care of Tim. HE had No life and was not Trained to take care of Autistic Tim😢
I dare to disagree with ,, justice was served " those 2 monsters will get to live in prison, while innocent sick kid was tortured to death.... There ain't no justice,
Boy, he was hanging his head all the time the judge was making his final statements, but as soon has he said "30 years....", Paul's head FLEW up real quick!! Shock, and disbelief on his face. What did he expect? Paul Ferguson got what he deserved, and justice for Timothy has been served.
You should hear the phone calls he made whilst in jail' He was talking about being out soon, trying to manipulate his stepmother into putting money on his books, thankfully she refused lol also he whined about the food, the uncomfortable bed and the fact he was too hot or cold.....the irony! This guy is just as self entitled as his mother, and a sadist on top of what the judge said about him being a psychopath. Good riddance to that pathetic creature.
Are you here after hearing Zav's text reading part 6? The judge got it, and maybe not Paul will too...I doubt it though. that choke up in his poem thing sounded so forced.
I'm pretty sure they're referring to Timothy's father who gave Timothy back to Shanda even though he know she was abusive and she wasn't even legally allowed to have him. Not the new man Shanda married who had a stroke.@@cindydalton9608
@@bethstallings8016the deal he received was that he would not be charged with murder like Shanda. He would only be charged with first degree felony child abuse. They even said at that hearing that this deal would not effect his sentencing.
That's interesting you mention "Auschwitz prison guard" cuz I think that Shanda is Irma Grese reincarnated! (I don't believe in reincarnation btw) Look her up. She was called "The Hyena of Auschwitz" for her sadistic enjoyment of whipping prisoners. She thought it was a fun game to select the most beautiful female inmates to be murdered in the gas chambers. Shanda Vander Ark is the doppelganger of Irma Grese. Go look her up and tell me it ain't so! Judge Kacel is a hero.
That's a hideous comparison, but unfortunately an apt one. There is a video of the prosecutor during closing arguments at the mother's trial and the angle is such that when he reminds the jury of the photo Paul took weeks before Timothy's death, you can actually see the picture and dear god... The judge was absolutely right. He did in fact look like a Holocaust victim. I almost wish I had looked away for that second because it's just burned into my brain now. As a judge, that picture is all I would have needed to hand them both the maximum sentence.
@@symptomoftheuniverse4149 he was not Dx. With developmental issues. He was Dx as a psychopath however and without treatment he is capable of doing the same thing. The Dx was that he had no remorse for what he had done. I think what the judge said to him will make him think about what he's done and make him realize that his brother is gone by HIS hands. It wasn't all Shandas fault like he was happy to believe. Prayers that he realizes what he's done and Begs forgiveness. Only then will he find true peace!
@@symptomoftheuniverse4149 So, you feel like that entitled him to literally starve, and torture his brother?! Listen to what the Judge said in the video right before he passed sentence, and by the way, there's millions of people who come from abusive households, they don't torture their siblings, in fact, most of them turn out to be pretty fucking protective of them
@@symptomoftheuniverse4149 1) Being a product of your environment doesn't exclude you from the law or moral judgement. Just as the judge stated, if they start taking that kind of consideration as a recommendation for leniency we would be in trouble, because most people that end up in court are in fact a product of their environment. It still doesn't negate the damage they caused. Also, there are plenty of people who came out of similar environment who hasn't gone on to torture or murder people. 2) Unless we were watching two seperate videos, the judge clearly stated (as per 2 seperate psychological evaluations) Paul does not have any developmental delays or impairments. Both stated that he has full capacity of understanding the nature of his actions. It has also been stated that he is a sociopath. Sociopaths are extremely good at manipulation. They are often methodical cand calculative. Which the court identified as to be the case in reference to his actions regarding the questions surrounding his mental capacity. The judge stated its his belief that he tried to manipulate the court into believing that there was some underlying issues regarding his mental capacity... Which I wholeheartedly believe. He's most definitely a threat to society.
Priceless look on his face when called a psychopath. Very angry and does not like to be called a psychopath. The best is the head snap when sentenced. I love this judge.
Paul needs jail time He doesn’t need therapy, he was a bully along time ago Secondly he told his monster mother “no to put hot sauce on Tim’s private” he was capable of saying no but didn’t want too Glad the judge saw through him ☺️
Thank you so much Judge! The world needs more judges like the Honorable Kacel. He didn't hold back the facts. The look on Paul's face was shock. Clearly, no empathy or remorse.
We do need more judges like himself to let people know enough is enough and you have to be held responsible for your action. Paul thought he was going home or very soon so the look on his face was definitely shock but nothing compared to Timothy’s face. Each and every time he was withheld food, physically abused, ice baths ( can you even imagine) and the last couple of days before he died and was finally free. This was horrendous and Paul enjoyed every minute of the power he had and the pain he inflicted on his very own brother. The judge is correct bc we can not have people like Paul walking free to commit these horrid crimes on others which I believe 1,000% he would be do.
The evil stare he gives the judge after hearing the sentence is exactly what is scary about him and justifies everything the judge said about him. It's a threatening stare. He is a dangerous person!
@@HamiBudeverything in life is habit if he does get out a old man he will be a different person imo shocking what he did obviously but he's been brain washed by the puppet master his mum imo
@@imemine8605 No, he wasn't brainwashed and he was absolutely not a puppet. He was bullying his siblings long before Shanda was in his life. That's part of the reason he was kicked out of his dad's house. It just escalated when he moved in with Shanda because she encouraged it most of the time. Like the mental health professional who examined him said, Paul was predisposed to mistreating Timothy independent of his mother's influence. And we know this is accurate because that's exactly what was going on.
@@ellamarsters8791 after watching more on the case after i made that comment i tottaly agree with you hes definitely a sociopath/psychopath himself, the kid had no chance, true evil
He should have been charged with involuntary manslaughter for the exact same reason Ethan Crumbley’s parents were charged: they were criminally negligent when they gave their son, knowing he had serious mental health issues, unfettered access to a gun. Timothy’s father placed a vulnerable, disabled kid in the custody of someone who he knew had previously lost parental rights because she severely neglected and mistreated her children in the past, including Timothy himself-something their father had personally witnessed.
I don't think Paul saw this coming. I believe he thought he helped the prosecutor and would get leniency with the courts. Paul admitted he had anger issues his whole life! Too bad he didn't get help sooner. He deserves the sentence he got, this is a good judge! God bless everyone associated with this horrible act.
In his jail phone calls to his brother, the few I've heard anyway, he seemed to be thinking "this will all be straightened out and I'll be free". I think he thought because he helped the prosecutor, because he'd autistic as well and because he was 'just' the brother and therefore not as responsible as Shanda, he'd get to go straight home.
I have never seen such a carefully considered verdict. This Judge put all emotion aside and based his decision on the facts. He definitely did his due diligence in reading and re-reading all of their correspondence and I believe read correctly the motives and intentions of Paul taking his past actions and current behaviour into account. Did you see Paul’s head snap up when the Judge said 30-100 years - he was incredulous and his response of not even looking the judge’s way verity’s the Judges’judgement of Paul as correct. What Paul did to his brother is beyond the pale and is completely outside the bounds of both humanity and morality. Bless this Judge for having the courage to stare that inhumanity in the face and sentence him beyond the guidelines. Justice for Timothy would include accountability for his father as well who allowed Timothy to return to his mother’s care when he knew full well she was unfit.
@@bobbi412exactly, he will probably be out in 19 years if he stays the worm he is and “ is good”. I do also believe he can be rehab in prison. He can change for the better.
Paul is as guilty as his mother, if not more so, because he was alone with his brother and he could have averted the situation by giving his brother food without his mother's knowledge. He even went as far as to dangle a pizza in front of his brother, how callous is that!!!! He should get life without parole!!! That's murder in the first degree, subtle...or indirect as it appears!!!
@marih3286 No. The stepmother was tired of handling Timothy, and the fathers answer to the problem was to send him away. If you don't follow the story, please don't assume you know about it.
@@cm1642 No. The use of the word "probably" disqualifies the statement as an assumption. If you don't know how to properly deconstruct a sentence, please don't lash out at people for no reason.

@@emilyashley4820 Oh, I agree. Absolutely. I think he expected a light sentence because he testified and because he didn't get a murder charge. He joked on the phone with friends that he hoped he was diagnosed as autistic because it would guarantee him easy time in a psych ward for a few months. So evil.
@@emilyashley4820 What a great reply! I was taken in by Paul Ferguson, too - on the stand, he seemed so damaged and limited. Turns out, not so much. At least Shanda didn't put on an act when she testified. She was repugnant in her matter of fact statements but Paul put on a massive act that quite a few of us believed. The judge saw thru it, thankfully. Paul also asked everyone he knew and all the penpals he amassed for money, and did so repeatedly. Apparently, the food in county is terrible and he needed funds to go on his books so he could buy his meals. That stuns me. I have watched the behaviour panel once or twice. With your urging, I will give it another look. I am always fascinated by what makes criminals tick. Did you follow the Charlie Adelson trial and case?
@@Tassie85 I have heard a bit of that case. There is another channel I like called, Reporting live from my sofa who looked at it. The TH-camr is quite funny but respectful. He also speaks about Timothy's case.
This entire sentencing hearing was like receiving an early Christmas gift!! Paul sitting there slumped over as if his mind is too damaged to even pay attention & comprehend what is going on… was disgusting… but he sure understood that 30 - 100 - Watching his head fly up and then him take that deep gulp was finally a piece of justice going in the right direction! Paul enjoy your Prime and more in Jail exactly where you belong!! Hold onto your blankie, I mean tablet very tight!!
i did have a fair bit of empathy for him at first, but as i learned more about this case , the more i realized one was as bad as the other, noticed that him and his mother are often begging for money for commissaire because they are not fans of jail food, i wish the only thing they could order was hot sauce, rest easy timothy at least you got justice
That’s how manipulative people work. First they appeal to your empathy and sympathy. Just a poor little victim. Then the facts come out and it couldn’t be more clear that he is sadistic.
Same. I flipped and flopped and flipped again with the one. The more I learnt about it the more I learnt that he too is nothing short of a monster and is where he needs to be.
The father of Timothy 1000% should be held accountable for his part in putting Timothy in his so called mom's care. That was not allowed from from a order of the courts.
The reason he tried to rehome timothy was because they had 9 people living in a 3 or 4 bedroom house. I also think they were seriously poor. Timothy apparently was going to school, while living with them, smelling bad and in dirty clothes. This is one of those situations where I don't know if they were abusive or neglectful, they realistically could've just been poor.
@@jayceewilliams5250The father had the duty to contact authorities if so. The boy would be alive in foster care. Even the older siblings didn’t know what the father did. The father didn’t reach out for help but dumped the boys on the psycho mom, and he knew she was abusive otherwise the judge wouldn’t have put the sole custody to him. He’s to blame.
@healthycathy9782 that's not fair. Yes he would be alive in foster care, but if one of your children has been living with the mom for 1.5 years, everything getting along nicely, and you call her up and say " hey I'm really struggling over here, you took in one of our sons, would you be willing to take in the other, or else I'll have to have him institutionalized because I can't care for him properly " who in their right mind would have thought that after 10 plus years, after her being around one of the sons and treating him right, that she along with that adult son would conspire to starve and torture their relative to death. I get people are upset by this, but I just don't understand why the father gets so much hate, when if you asked a panel of a 100 people, the majority would've made the same mistake he did. Who first thought would be, I'm going to put my autistic son into foster care instead of putting him with his mother who was abusive 10+ years ago, but now she has a 3rd child, she's been taking good care of our eldest child, and instead of 9 people and no space in the house, she has a sterile environment and space better suited for his needs. The dad made the choice so many people would make over foster care and random familes and packed living environments, he actually made the choice the government likely would've made, as they try to first get you to look for relatives who can take them in, because they don't want the kids. She and Paul are the only people responsible for his death, yet the dad has to catch strays for being poor and in an overcrowded home with a son who had special needs he couldn't no longer care for. Hell, why don't we blame the step mom, adult children, shonda current husband, and G's grandmother too while we at it, because they all should've just known that the mother of 3-4 kids would've just took 6 months to starve and torture one of them the moment her husband left the house. Like be for real, who tf would expect this.
the father should be charged as well because he sent timothy to her knowing she was not supposed to have unsupervised visits with timothy and the state took him from her so the father knew what she was all about and he sent him anyways and they hid it from state....LOCK HIS PATHEDIC AZZ UP WITH HER!!
@@marlons4122 do your homework. He sent Timothy to Shanda who was Court ORDERED to not have custody of Timothy. Only supervised visitation. That's abandonment. What he did was ILLEGAL.
Cruelty to anybody is bad enough, but cruelty to kids is unconscionable. Timothy was his brother. I think paul is a psychopath. He should not ever be released.
Did anyone see his smirking, grinning and beaming when the judge said he had received many letters from viewers and then the realisation and frowning as the judge said the letters wouldn't make a difference?? We are so used to seeing people with autism behaving weirdly, unable to conceal emotions and generally being awkward but with a heart of gold that we've gaslit ourselves into not trusting our instincts when we encounter genuinely creepy people. It's quite remarkable- his inability to conceal his emotions. And then his duper's delight as he closed his mouth after finishing his statement. I agree with everything the judge said. Torturing Timothy made him feel important, he had zero empathy and is a sociopath.
I noticed that too I was looking through the comments to see if anyone else did.. obviously, he thinks killing his brother is a joke, and that he was going to get away with it.. but he got a wake up call…
Thank you for saying. I admit skipping parts, and I missed that look. He grinned, and smirked! Well, he wasn't smirking when his head popped up at the words "30 to 100 years".
He was smiling at a couple of his little pen pals that learned about this case through Court TV and showed up to “support” him. In one of the jail calls, the guy tells him the day before sentencing that they would be at the hearing.
That poor little kid. Born into the world just to endure seemingly endless amounts of suffering. No birthdays and Christmas mornings, egg hunts, hugs and everything else that comes with a loving family. As a father of a young boy, and also an older brother, this just guts me.
I agree. If you try to put yourself in his place - locked in a "small room", shackled with cameras on you - every single contact with mother and brother ending in torture. Sheer hell.
Plz show no empathy for him. Some people saw accidentally the last pic of Tim when downloading the text messages files. He literally took pic of his starving brother while Tim just waited for death to come. And he had the nerves to say he wanted to struggle him. The eyes of Tim during his last day were enough haunting for him to notice what happened.
I saw that pic by accident a few days ago. Had no idea it was going to be shown, but it was and I've yet to get it out of my mind. Poor Timmy looked like any HOLOCAUST VICTIM. It was terrible.
@@zuluexmachina2191 I haven't seen the pic (thankfully), but the fact that they were so confused and trying to rouse him when they found him no longer alive for hours says it all.
Well this judge sought out all the answers of questions I had. What a very thorough job he did summing up. Excellent job judge!! What a very empathetic, fair, well thought out deliverance of justice!!
Like mother, like son. He turned state witness against his mother, to save himself from a long sentence. He looked which way would benefit him and where his bread is buttered. I have no sympathy for this pshycoppath.
If he has said 'I feel so guilty I can't even sleep at night now that I'm removed from the situation understand my accountability and want you to give whatever sentence you think brings justice to Timothy' I would feel a little better but he took no accountability. His lawyer did him dirty letting that be his letter to the judge lol.
Or maybe you meant where his bread is doused with hot sauce? Oh, nevermind. That's right, Paul stated in the jail calls that his "wish list" includes more food than most eat as he has a high metabolism and nothing spicy. The level of disassociation to his crime and lack of self-awareness and introspection is alarming. Judge got this right💯
Paul wasn’t as innocent as he wanted to appear during his testimony. He was indeed just as much responsible for Timothy’s abuse, starvation, and death as his mother, if not more. Bravo to this judge.
Judge Kacel you were the right Judge for these 2 sociopaths, you called them out for who they truly are. I applaud you sir, you were truly a voice for Timothy as well the DA and the police to get Justice for Timothy
Even Paul's attorney said in a more disguised way that he thinks Paul deserves a lengthy sentence! I think everyone was horrified when they received the files on Paul's life in Oklahoma and realized he tortured animals and was accused of sexual misconduct with one of his siblings. Like he prosecutor said, it would have been nice to have known these things before offering Paul a plea deal.
Starting at 4:04, what is Paul smiling and smirking so joyfully at???? Looks like he thought those letters were going to help him, but when the judge said he would not consider the letters, it wiped the smirk off his face.
If you look behind the prosecutor while he's making his statement there's a girl sitting i believe directly behind Paul i noticed she was shaking her head in disapproval to some of the things the prosecutor was saying that struck me as a bit odd especially considering the fact that although there are those that do defend him it's very few and far between seeing her there seeming to be in support of him I'm wondering if she's maybe either some random person that saw him on tv or maybe one of those weirdos that contact prisoners like pen palls or maybe she's just someone there watching the sentencing or it cld just be nothing she doesn't seem to be a relative though I'm just speculating of course but idk I just thought I'd point that out....
@@vivianvargas5732 you're right! he is smiling at 2 of his penpals who reached out to him because they felt sorry for paul (as they blindly believe he has autism and was completely forced by shanda to abuse timothy). one of the penpals wrote a letter to the judge in support of paul not serving any more jail time.
Did anyone else love the look up at the judge when he rendered the sentence?! He really thought he fooled everyone and was going to walk away a victim and be free. He’s just as sick as his mom.
It gets even better when you know that he was also asking his dad about getting a ride home after sentencing and bragging to his little pen pal that he likely wouldn’t ever see the inside of a prison. He thought he fooled everyone.
Paul also sexually abused Timothy. His jailhouse calls complaining about the low quality of food and asking every person he knows for money to purchase better food at the commissry is breathtaking knowing he literally starved his brother to death. Have you ever eaten spicy food on an empty stomach and the heartburn it causes? Imagine being half your body weight from starvation and being force fed the most powerful hot sauce in the world? It's inconceivable the level of cruelty that arises to. Justice served.
The judge could have said "sadism". It's a textbook example of two sadistic personalities torturing an innocent child just because they like to do it. I believe the judge is right, the murder was an accident because they both lost their favorite victim to torture more. This would have never stopped on his own. 😮
@@nml5802 yeah I’d like to know more about HIS abuse… he is a product of his environment. He is looking much healthier and I pray that he is able to heal himself and do better. Such a sad story 🙏💗
This was one of the most satisfying things I've ever watched. It is refreshing to see a judge actually "judge" and not go along with every other person in the court.
Shandra's husband was gone from the home for six months before Timothy died. Their abuse was so horrible that they murdered their son and brother by starvation and physical torture. The charge was child abuse but the reality was murder. I think the sentence is appropriate.
The icebath started before, because the gas punishments.. They were married for years.. So he had to know her past with her children.. maybe it escaleted faster, but I think the start was since she had her children.
Wrong. Her ex husband was their dad and they divorced in 2019. The dad never lived in Michigan. The STEP DAD had been gone from the home for 6 months due to him having a stroke! Get your facts straight.
Where's the father in all this? He knew Shanda was bad news and had lost custody of her children yet he sent Timothy back, then he doesnt see him. What a coward. Fathers are supposed to protect their children, same with mothers. Same with older siblings. Utter failures.
Paul’s statement was so selfish. Taking no responsibility for his actions. Asking the judge for compassion he never showed his brother. He only feels bad that he has to pay for his crime. He feels no remorse for what he did to his brother and how he made his brother suffer. He could’ve clearly saved him. He had many opportunities to call 911 or go to a precinct.
Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental health condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others.
I'm actually unsure. If he's getting a lot of fan mail therefore commissary all the other men in there also for violent crimes are going to become besties with him. The only person who can do anything to him would be someone who already has life and doesn't mind spending tears in the hole and never talking to family or ordering commissary again. PREA made hurting another inmate for the crime they committed a 'hate crime' usually people like him end up just being left alone and they hang out with each other.
@@gingerlee726 all it will take is one guard to mysteriously not see something! That little developmental act will not save him infact its makes him more of a target! Having commissary may buy him sometime...but not indefinitely!

Exactly! And in his jail calls he talks about the great pillow someone bought him that was $33 as well as his need for more food than the average person due to his high metabolism. Oh, and no spicy food! You've got to be kidding me?!? The lack of self-awareness and introspection is utter hypocrisy! His mother does the same thing.

Exactly! It was the smile about letters that got me & he turns & looks at someone! I wonder if he had supporters from strangers in audience. You know the kind, the likes of those who date serial killers in jail. Sociopath.
@@eskylent7962 there were two older people that contacted him and gave him commissary money weekly, one just felt bad for him the other reminded him of his autistic son. They both wrote the judge.
Paulwas accused of sexually abusing Timothy and was removed from the home. Shanda was never supposed to see Timothy without supervision via court rulings . It’s sad .
CPS found those claims to be NOT true and Zav showed the documentation, but she skipped over it in her commentary, thinking her viewers would not read them for themselves!
@@jreifsnyder2225 Exactly! Yet people are spreading this like wildfire! Thanks Zav for LEAVING OUT that part in your commentary! A lot of read the accusations were FALSE!!!
She never had custody of Timothy, the father did. So, why didn't the father step in and save Timothy? The sexual assault on Timothy is so very disgusting and disturbing!!
The Judge really is amazing, I love the way he called out Paul on his bullshit act, I was hoping that he would bring out Timothy's picture to show Paul
My favorite line from the Judge Kecel before he sentenced him, “ I think he one step away from becoming a psychopath like his mother” Rest in Peace Timothy both of your abuser is serving time in prison.
Paul will be a target in prison! Once the inmates get word of what and why he did to be in prison! The prison guards will tell the inmates! I’m glad the young man got justice! RIP😡
They thought they had a possible deal for light sentence if testified against his mother - but the judge said "only bread and hot sauce for you, Pauley.."
Please stop giving both him and his mother money to buy extra food that his brother never had. It’s disgusting that they both moan about the prison food they are giving.
To anyone that has not looked further into this case.Please take a minute to just listen to some of the phone calls and text messages between paul and his mother and then in jail , paul and his supporters (all 3 😂) he HATED timothy and Shanda herself had to stop Paul from hurting Tim and when she was annoyed shed hand him over to get beaten by Paul. Hes a monster and he wanted to play his games not help his brother. Hes evil. He has even now admitted that what he said in court was a lie.He doesn't even know how to make scrambled eggs
Too bad the sound is low. I originally felt 'some' sympathy for this creep but watching him in the court room absorb and react to every word spoken there, tells me he fully understands the jist of what he did to that innocent boy. He absolutely knew and was only thinking of himself and worried about getting caught at the horrors and control he and his Mom had over this poor boy. Throw the book at him!
My brother was 6 years older than me...he died when he was 25. My favorite memory of him was when we were shoveling snow (I was 8yrs) I told him my hands were freezing so he took my wet gloves off and rubbed my hands to get them warm and then put his warm gloves on me. We walked home dragging our shovels but his were the only cold hands. He was a great brother 🙂
Sorry for your loss. God bless 😊
i’m sorry for your loss.
my brother once literally gave me the shirt off his back.

May i ask 🤚 Are you believers in christ 🙏 beautiful words spoken😇
I'm so sorry. I'm glad that you have such good memories.🥰
Shame on the FATHER for allowing Timothy to be in her custody. He should be charged too.
Agree
Agree!!@@sheriClayborne
It sounds like his older brother has been abusive for some time and yet he lets Timothy go live with this woman and her abusive son? Come on!
I agree with you. I don't understand why he's allowed a free pass. He should be held accountable. Her knew how Shanda was, didn't she lose custody to the father? Timothy was failed by the people around him
I’ve thought the same thing. I don’t think dear old dad even showed up for the trial.
the Irony! Paul, in one of his calls from jail, was wishing he would be diagnosed with Autism to get fewer sentences, but he was saying that Timothy was faking Autism. Now we know he is sociopath and worse
I love it
Takes after Mommy.
It's just horrifying how Paul was at fault with his demonic devil mother to carry out this horrific act on Timothy.
Look who raised him.......
He seems to me like he's trying to make himself look like he's mentally incompetent, the way he's looking around, as if he doesn't know what's going on
He hasn’t learnt his lesson because if you listen to him on his jail calls he is bullying his cell mate who is also autistic, Paul is not autistic he is sadistic & deserves what the judge gave him
Absolutely! That guy randall thats helping paul appeal is a deviant just like paul.. anyone who contacts paul should not be allowed around children or the elderly.
Where can we listen to this?
Completely agree. His interrogation video is really telling too. He keeps saying that WE never wanted this, WE only wanted the best, WE never wanted Timothy to be injured or hurt. We being Paul and Shanda. He wasn’t afraid or coerced into anything; it’s more like he saw himself and Shanda as a team against Timothy. He enjoyed the power.
@janiedale5971
It's on CourtTV or this channel. I heard him talking to his dad about getting a ride home on the verdict day. He thought he was getting away with this. 😮 😲
Just wait till he gets to prison. He won't be bullying anyone in there I can promise you that
Paul snitched on his little brother to get him more abuse
As well as abused him
Yes, he actually did. That's one topic nobody ever talks about! Thats the point. He would rather torture than save!
This is why people who think he’s a victim in this situation and should have been given leniency need to read those text messages. Paul was an enthusiastic participant in all of it.
This judge should get all child abuse cases in that county
I could hardly wish that on anyone, let alone this poor judge. I am thankful to know they still exist, but my God! Most of us would likely have sunk so far as to emotionally drown. That he is so incredibly professional, considerate AND conscientious while maintaining his sense of justice and humanity is astounding. I agree with you and could kick myself for thinking it at the same time. Dig?

Oh he gets how bad they were, he just thinks this is unfair because his needs are all that matters.
@@Pure_Imagination_728yes I agree 💯 with you. Paul thought he'd done a good job of manipulation on the authorities and helped them out by giving all the information on his mother's acts and that would be enough to give him a small sentence as he threw her under the bus.
Paul is extremely delusional and full of self importance. He is evil and a monster.
That look of shock on his face when the judge said 30 to 100 years will never leave my mind.
That's why he is so dangerous.
@@roxanamcglinchey6613 I had a so called friend in high school very similar in appearance and demeanor, total narcissist. Probably not to Paul’s extreme, but more of an emotional abuser and bully, belittled me often. Great at manipulating, great at playing the victim, often threatened suicide for attention. Knew how to get me to react and make me look crazy so he could gaslight me. Pathetic individual.
I’m no professional, but I do have a degree in psychology, and from my own experience the narcissism is written all over his facial expressions and nonverbal behavior. I can see right through it. There are certain giveaways that make me go “oh yep, I know that look”

This Paul is utter trash and his audacity to whinge is truly sickening , it's unbelievable how he complains about minimal things really. At least he gets hot meals in jail. Far more than poor Timothy received. Poor Timothy survived on hot sauce and bread for months.
I'm sorry Paul reminds you of past hurts. It appears to me the worst behaved people expect the red carpet rolled out for them.
Sorry I've rambled on here. I just can't get this piece of evil crap out of my mind. His mother too.
This judge is amazing, his compassion for Timothy really shined through. Justice was served.
And let that be a warning to the others doing the same
The Judge is amazing, but unfortunately neither one of those murderers will get what they truly deserve. They will be sent to prison and get a bed to sleep in, medical care, 3 meals a day and both of them have fools sending them money for commissary. They should be thrown in a cell with a tarp and be fed HOT sauce and bread until the day they both go to hell where they belong and that still would not come close to the amount of pain and suffering that poor Timothy went through.
It makes me sick that he has an insane woman who is sending him money and wants to marry him, we can only hope that the prisoners will give him and his sorry mother the treatment they deserve.
😂😂😂😂 1:38 😂😂😂😂😂😂 1:41 😂😂😂😂😂😂 1:49 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Judge is Vindictive not Rehabilitative. BIOLOGICAL Father was Starving tim before he gave him to Shonda Teachers Reported it Paul was Abused by Parents expecting him to take care of Tim. HE had No life and was not Trained to take care of Autistic Tim😢
I dare to disagree with ,, justice was served " those 2 monsters will get to live in prison, while innocent sick kid was tortured to death.... There ain't no justice,
Boy, he was hanging his head all the time the judge was making his final statements, but as soon has he said "30 years....", Paul's head FLEW up real quick!! Shock, and disbelief on his face. What did he expect? Paul Ferguson got what he deserved, and justice for Timothy has been served.
🙌🏽
You should hear the phone calls he made whilst in jail' He was talking about being out soon, trying to manipulate his stepmother into putting money on his books, thankfully she refused lol also he whined about the food, the uncomfortable bed and the fact he was too hot or cold.....the irony! This guy is just as self entitled as his mother, and a sadist on top of what the judge said about him being a psychopath. Good riddance to that pathetic creature.
30! So he will get out at 40!

Why do jewisj people make everything about themselves?
Great comp.
That's interesting you mention "Auschwitz prison guard" cuz I think that Shanda is Irma Grese reincarnated! (I don't believe in reincarnation btw) Look her up. She was called "The Hyena of Auschwitz" for her sadistic enjoyment of whipping prisoners. She thought it was a fun game to select the most beautiful female inmates to be murdered in the gas chambers. Shanda Vander Ark is the doppelganger of Irma Grese. Go look her up and tell me it ain't so!
Judge Kacel is a hero.
Perfect comparison!
That's a hideous comparison, but unfortunately an apt one. There is a video of the prosecutor during closing arguments at the mother's trial and the angle is such that when he reminds the jury of the photo Paul took weeks before Timothy's death, you can actually see the picture and dear god... The judge was absolutely right. He did in fact look like a Holocaust victim. I almost wish I had looked away for that second because it's just burned into my brain now. As a judge, that picture is all I would have needed to hand them both the maximum sentence.
He could’ve called the police when his mother was at work or called 911. He knew better
Or told one of his co-workers.
He could have contacted his in laws. They were dying to meet Tim but the mom would'nt have it cause they would see just how bad it got.
I'm glad the judge saw through him, so many people defending him. He's just as much a monster as his mother.
If not worse
Paul you had a choice to save yourself and your brother. You failed. I have no sympathy for you or your mother.

@@symptomoftheuniverse4149 he was not Dx. With developmental issues. He was Dx as a psychopath however and without treatment he is capable of doing the same thing. The Dx was that he had no remorse for what he had done. I think what the judge said to him will make him think about what he's done and make him realize that his brother is gone by HIS hands. It wasn't all Shandas fault like he was happy to believe. Prayers that he realizes what he's done and Begs forgiveness. Only then will he find true peace!
@@symptomoftheuniverse4149 So, you feel like that entitled him to literally starve, and torture his brother?! Listen to what the Judge said in the video right before he passed sentence, and by the way, there's millions of people who come from abusive households, they don't torture their siblings, in fact, most of them turn out to be pretty fucking protective of them
@@symptomoftheuniverse4149
1) Being a product of your environment doesn't exclude you from the law or moral judgement. Just as the judge stated, if they start taking that kind of consideration as a recommendation for leniency we would be in trouble, because most people that end up in court are in fact a product of their environment. It still doesn't negate the damage they caused. Also, there are plenty of people who came out of similar environment who hasn't gone on to torture or murder people.
2) Unless we were watching two seperate videos, the judge clearly stated (as per 2 seperate psychological evaluations) Paul does not have any developmental delays or impairments. Both stated that he has full capacity of understanding the nature of his actions. It has also been stated that he is a sociopath. Sociopaths are extremely good at manipulation. They are often methodical cand calculative. Which the court identified as to be the case in reference to his actions regarding the questions surrounding his mental capacity. The judge stated its his belief that he tried to manipulate the court into believing that there was some underlying issues regarding his mental capacity... Which I wholeheartedly believe. He's most definitely a threat to society.
@@symptomoftheuniverse4149😊 7:35 😊😊
Priceless look on his face when called a psychopath. Very angry and does not like to be called a psychopath. The best is the head snap when sentenced. I love this judge.

Paul needs jail time
He doesn’t need therapy, he was a bully along time ago
Secondly he told his monster mother “no to put hot sauce on Tim’s private” he was capable of saying no but didn’t want too
Glad the judge saw through him ☺️
Tag team of sadists....DONE.
Best summary of this whole case!
Thank you so much Judge! The world needs more judges like the Honorable Kacel. He didn't hold back the facts. The look on Paul's face was shock. Clearly, no empathy or remorse.
Agreed!
YES!! the judge is the best on so many levels. he really deserves recognition for that.
We do need more judges like himself to let people know enough is enough and you have to be held responsible for your action. Paul thought he was going home or very soon so the look on his face was definitely shock but nothing compared to Timothy’s face. Each and every time he was withheld food, physically abused, ice baths ( can you even imagine) and the last couple of days before he died and was finally free. This was horrendous and Paul enjoyed every minute of the power he had and the pain he inflicted on his very own brother. The judge is correct bc we can not have people like Paul walking free to commit these horrid crimes on others which I believe 1,000% he would be do.
Yea look at the size of him compared to his brother he abused
Too bad he's not the judge for Ruby Frankie and Jodi Hildebrand

That's part of the reason he was kicked out of his dad's house. It just escalated when he moved in with Shanda because she encouraged it most of the time. Like the mental health professional who examined him said, Paul was predisposed to mistreating Timothy independent of his mother's influence. And we know this is accurate because that's exactly what was going on.
@@ellamarsters8791 after watching more on the case after i made that comment i tottaly agree with you hes definitely a sociopath/psychopath himself, the kid had no chance, true evil
Charge Timothy's father with abandonment; he left his child vulnerable to a psychopath.
He should be held accountable.
Didn’t FaceTime him or nothing
He should have been charged with involuntary manslaughter for the exact same reason Ethan Crumbley’s parents were charged: they were criminally negligent when they gave their son, knowing he had serious mental health issues, unfettered access to a gun. Timothy’s father placed a vulnerable, disabled kid in the custody of someone who he knew had previously lost parental rights because she severely neglected and mistreated her children in the past, including Timothy himself-something their father had personally witnessed.
Or even charge him for violating a court order. He knew damn well Timothy wasn't supposed to be with his mother
Thank God for this amazing Judge!!
Justice was served. He can now rest in peace
I don't think Paul saw this coming. I believe he thought he helped the prosecutor and would get leniency with the courts. Paul admitted he had anger issues his whole life! Too bad he didn't get help sooner. He deserves the sentence he got, this is a good judge!
God bless everyone associated with this horrible act.
He got leniency should have been life in my opinion
In his jail phone calls to his brother, the few I've heard anyway, he seemed to be thinking "this will all be straightened out and I'll be free". I think he thought because he helped the prosecutor, because he'd autistic as well and because he was 'just' the brother and therefore not as responsible as Shanda, he'd get to go straight home.
He got off murder, now No more tears for Timmy, not in heaven
I have never seen such a carefully considered verdict. This Judge put all emotion aside and based his decision on the facts. He definitely did his due diligence in reading and re-reading all of their correspondence and I believe read correctly the motives and intentions of Paul taking his past actions and current behaviour into account.
Did you see Paul’s head snap up when the Judge said 30-100 years - he was incredulous and his response of not even looking the judge’s way verity’s the Judges’judgement of Paul as correct. What Paul did to his brother is beyond the pale and is completely outside the bounds of both humanity and morality.
Bless this Judge for having the courage to stare that inhumanity in the face and sentence him beyond the guidelines. Justice for Timothy would include accountability for his father as well who allowed Timothy to return to his mother’s care when he knew full well she was unfit.
@@bobbi412exactly, he will probably be out in 19 years if he stays the worm he is and “ is good”.

The judge saw thru it, thankfully.
Paul also asked everyone he knew and all the penpals he amassed for money, and did so repeatedly. Apparently, the food in county is terrible and he needed funds to go on his books so he could buy his meals. That stuns me.

@@It-is-me...Melsie Same! And I agree😊
I was torn on this aswell. Once the judge started talking about all he had researched about Paul, I agree with the sentence.
The father of Timothy 1000% should be held accountable for his part in putting Timothy in his so called mom's care. That was not allowed from from a order of the courts.
only the feminists agree with you. yea make a man pay for something he wasn't involved in
Yeah fr I can’t imagine never checking up on my son to see how he’s doing. Autistic or not.
The reason he tried to rehome timothy was because they had 9 people living in a 3 or 4 bedroom house. I also think they were seriously poor. Timothy apparently was going to school, while living with them, smelling bad and in dirty clothes. This is one of those situations where I don't know if they were abusive or neglectful, they realistically could've just been poor.
@@jayceewilliams5250The father had the duty to contact authorities if so. The boy would be alive in foster care. Even the older siblings didn’t know what the father did. The father didn’t reach out for help but dumped the boys on the psycho mom, and he knew she was abusive otherwise the judge wouldn’t have put the sole custody to him. He’s to blame.
@healthycathy9782 that's not fair. Yes he would be alive in foster care, but if one of your children has been living with the mom for 1.5 years, everything getting along nicely, and you call her up and say " hey I'm really struggling over here, you took in one of our sons, would you be willing to take in the other, or else I'll have to have him institutionalized because I can't care for him properly " who in their right mind would have thought that after 10 plus years, after her being around one of the sons and treating him right, that she along with that adult son would conspire to starve and torture their relative to death. I get people are upset by this, but I just don't understand why the father gets so much hate, when if you asked a panel of a 100 people, the majority would've made the same mistake he did. Who first thought would be, I'm going to put my autistic son into foster care instead of putting him with his mother who was abusive 10+ years ago, but now she has a 3rd child, she's been taking good care of our eldest child, and instead of 9 people and no space in the house, she has a sterile environment and space better suited for his needs. The dad made the choice so many people would make over foster care and random familes and packed living environments, he actually made the choice the government likely would've made, as they try to first get you to look for relatives who can take them in, because they don't want the kids. She and Paul are the only people responsible for his death, yet the dad has to catch strays for being poor and in an overcrowded home with a son who had special needs he couldn't no longer care for. Hell, why don't we blame the step mom, adult children, shonda current husband, and G's grandmother too while we at it, because they all should've just known that the mother of 3-4 kids would've just took 6 months to starve and torture one of them the moment her husband left the house.

Did anyone see his smirking, grinning and beaming when the judge said he had received many letters from viewers and then the realisation and frowning as the judge said the letters wouldn't make a difference?? We are so used to seeing people with autism behaving weirdly, unable to conceal emotions and generally being awkward but with a heart of gold that we've gaslit ourselves into not trusting our instincts when we encounter genuinely creepy people. It's quite remarkable- his inability to conceal his emotions. And then his duper's delight as he closed his mouth after finishing his statement. I agree with everything the judge said. Torturing Timothy made him feel important, he had zero empathy and is a sociopath.
YES! I saw it right away. Starts at 4:04. Judge wipe that smirk right off his face!
Yes i noticed that as well, he turned around like he was smiling at someone
I noticed that too I was looking through the comments to see if anyone else did.. obviously, he thinks killing his brother is a joke, and that he was going to get away with it.. but he got a wake up call…
Thank you for saying. I admit skipping parts, and I missed that look. He grinned, and smirked! Well, he wasn't smirking when his head popped up at the words "30 to 100 years".
He was smiling at a couple of his little pen pals that learned about this case through Court TV and showed up to “support” him. In one of the jail calls, the guy tells him the day before sentencing that they would be at the hearing.
That poor little kid. Born into the world just to endure seemingly endless amounts of suffering. No birthdays and Christmas mornings, egg hunts, hugs and everything else that comes with a loving family. As a father of a young boy, and also an older brother, this just guts me.
I agree. If you try to put yourself in his place - locked in a "small room", shackled with cameras on you - every single contact with mother and brother ending in torture. Sheer hell.
Me too sir…’me too
His jail calls are all online. He has zero remorse and denies blame.
I've been listening to those, he really thought he was getting out.
I tried to search for them and the only channel I found was Zav and I don’t want to watch her. Who else has post them?
Is Paul a bit special ? He seems to be smiling all the time , like
He dose not understand what is going on ? He deserves life in prison
@@lauracaton1711AG Tactical. He's a young man, real mellow, and is doing tons of jailhouse calls, and anything to do with this horrible case..
@@suefields4254 I much prefer AG Tactical over Zav Girl.
He could have called the police at any time on her but he went right along with her, he is as guilty as his mother.
Plz show no empathy for him. Some people saw accidentally the last pic of Tim when downloading the text messages files. He literally took pic of his starving brother while Tim just waited for death to come. And he had the nerves to say he wanted to struggle him. The eyes of Tim during his last day were enough haunting for him to notice what happened.
I saw that pic by accident a few days ago. Had no idea it was going to be shown, but it was and I've yet to get it out of my mind. Poor Timmy looked like any HOLOCAUST VICTIM. It was terrible.
@@zuluexmachina2191 I haven't seen the pic (thankfully), but the fact that they were so confused and trying to rouse him when they found him no longer alive for hours says it all.
Well this judge sought out all the answers of questions I had. What a very thorough job he did summing up. Excellent job judge!! What a very empathetic, fair, well thought out deliverance of justice!!
Like mother, like son. He turned state witness against his mother, to save himself from a long sentence. He looked which way would benefit him and where his bread is buttered. I have no sympathy for this pshycoppath.
If he has said 'I feel so guilty I can't even sleep at night now that I'm removed from the situation understand my accountability and want you to give whatever sentence you think brings justice to Timothy' I would feel a little better but he took no accountability. His lawyer did him dirty letting that be his letter to the judge lol.
@@gingerlee726 He's sneaky and a liar. Everything he 'admitted' that happened was self-serving.
Right
@@It-is-me...Melsie Completely self serving 😐
Or maybe you meant where his bread is doused with hot sauce? Oh, nevermind. That's right, Paul stated in the jail calls that his "wish list" includes more food than most eat as he has a high metabolism and nothing spicy.
The level of disassociation to his crime and lack of self-awareness and introspection is alarming. Judge got this right💯
Paul wasn’t as innocent as he wanted to appear during his testimony. He was indeed just as much responsible for Timothy’s abuse, starvation, and death as his mother, if not more. Bravo to this judge.
Paul's eyes don't look like he is normal
He's a Phsycopath
And his choppers look like they are trying to escape from his mouth due to his breath smelling like he ate 6 tons of shark sh*t.
Will, normal people don't help torture their brother to death, so that makes sense.
Brilliant compassionate judge! Sentencing statements were fabulous for this monster and his mother. Great job❤️
Thank you, Judge!
Judge Kacel you were the right Judge for these 2 sociopaths, you called them out for who they truly are. I applaud you sir, you were truly a voice for Timothy as well the DA and the police to get Justice for Timothy
Even Paul's attorney said in a more disguised way that he thinks Paul deserves a lengthy sentence! I think everyone was horrified when they received the files on Paul's life in Oklahoma and realized he tortured animals and was accused of sexual misconduct with one of his siblings. Like he prosecutor said, it would have been nice to have known these things before offering Paul a plea deal.
Cruelty to animals? Wow...
Big red flag there! 😮
Starting at 4:04, what is Paul smiling and smirking so joyfully at????
Looks like he thought those letters were going to help him, but when the judge said he would not consider the letters, it wiped the smirk off his face.
Jupers delight
What was that all about 😮
Does he think he is a celebrity
If you look behind the prosecutor while he's making his statement there's a girl sitting i believe directly behind Paul i noticed she was shaking her head in disapproval to some of the things the prosecutor was saying that struck me as a bit odd especially considering the fact that although there are those that do defend him it's very few and far between seeing her there seeming to be in support of him I'm wondering if she's maybe either some random person that saw him on tv or maybe one of those weirdos that contact prisoners like pen palls or maybe she's just someone there watching the sentencing or it cld just be nothing she doesn't seem to be a relative though I'm just speculating of course but idk I just thought I'd point that out....
@@vivianvargas5732 you're right! he is smiling at 2 of his penpals who reached out to him because they felt sorry for paul (as they blindly believe he has autism and was completely forced by shanda to abuse timothy). one of the penpals wrote a letter to the judge in support of paul not serving any more jail time.
This judge did an outstanding analysis of the case. Excellent work. By listening to his speech I am ending up with 100% agreements.
Did anyone else love the look up at the judge when he rendered the sentence?! He really thought he fooled everyone and was going to walk away a victim and be free. He’s just as sick as his mom.
He wasn’t expecting that 30
@@ThouShallNotKill He thought the absolute worse case scenario would be 22 years tops
It gets even better when you know that he was also asking his dad about getting a ride home after sentencing and bragging to his little pen pal that he likely wouldn’t ever see the inside of a prison. He thought he fooled everyone.
I had a messed up childhood and I never did anything like this so spare me
Exactly!!
Same. People like him are always going to be monsters regardless of their upbringing.
Same here! Consider yourself spared! And kudos to you!
Oh, Amen! I feel ya. I hear ya!
Same. I was beaten by my step-dad but would never _consider_ laying my hands on another individual!
Paul also sexually abused Timothy. His jailhouse calls complaining about the low quality of food and asking every person he knows for money to purchase better food at the commissry is breathtaking knowing he literally starved his brother to death. Have you ever eaten spicy food on an empty stomach and the heartburn it causes? Imagine being half your body weight from starvation and being force fed the most powerful hot sauce in the world? It's inconceivable the level of cruelty that arises to. Justice served.
I have seen that allegation several times but haven't found anything about sexual assault online. Can you tell me where you found it?
Where did you hear about that? I mean I wouldn’t be surprised.
Zav girl channel
The judge could have said "sadism". It's a textbook example of two sadistic personalities torturing an innocent child just because they like to do it. I believe the judge is right, the murder was an accident because they both lost their favorite victim to torture more. This would have never stopped on his own. 😮
@@nml5802 yeah I’d like to know more about HIS abuse… he is a product of his environment. He is looking much healthier and I pray that he is able to heal himself and do better. Such a sad story 🙏💗
The father literally turned over Timothy to a person the court had already deemed unfit as a parent. The father should be charged as well!
The rapid look of rage in his eyes, towards the judge, 50:54 shows who he is.
We need more judges like this. Not afraid to punish accordingly.👍🇨🇦
Thank u Judge Kacel for getting justice for Timothy ❤❤
This was one of the most satisfying things I've ever watched. It is refreshing to see a judge actually "judge" and not go along with every other person in the court.
30 years a light sentence
Exactly! To think this monster could get outta jail at 50 yrs old is ludicrous.
The ONLY reaction to anything that was said was when he was handed the 30 year sentence. Beyond disgusting!
50:21 Proof Paul is coherent of the meaning "100 years."
Shandra's husband was gone from the home for six months before Timothy died. Their abuse was so horrible that they murdered their son and brother by starvation and physical torture. The charge was child abuse but the reality was murder. I think the sentence is appropriate.
The icebath started before, because the gas punishments.. They were married for years.. So he had to know her past with her children.. maybe it escaleted faster, but I think the start was since she had her children.
@@marleenjansen4692they bought the alarms & locks & all that after he left
Wrong. Her ex husband was their dad and they divorced in 2019. The dad never lived in Michigan. The STEP DAD had been gone from the home for 6 months due to him having a stroke! Get your facts straight.
@@Tami_L96 her husband, not her EX..
This judge is on point and, Paulie didn't get s*** over on the judge!! Awesome call Judge 👍👍👍👍👍
I know right.
Incredible judge!!!
there is something wrong with this kid emotionally. He creeps me out too.
He's a psychopath like his momma.
Where's the father in all this? He knew Shanda was bad news and had lost custody of her children yet he sent Timothy back, then he doesnt see him. What a coward. Fathers are supposed to protect their children, same with mothers. Same with older siblings. Utter failures.
Paul’s statement was so selfish.
Taking no responsibility for his actions. Asking the judge for compassion he never showed his brother.
He only feels bad that he has to pay for his crime. He feels no remorse for what he did to his brother and how he made his brother suffer.
He could’ve clearly saved him. He had many opportunities to call 911 or go to a precinct.
He didn’t even say sorry.
I'm sure they both probably still feel justified in what they did. It was Timothy's fault, for being Timothy 🙄
Very many opportunities!!
No he was trapped in the “family code of silence”. Victims of interfamilial abuse never call for help.
Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental health condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others.
Judge you have been wonderful during this difficult trial. Some justice for Timothy.
There's a dude who will NOT be doing well in prison lol....
I'm actually unsure. If he's getting a lot of fan mail therefore commissary all the other men in there also for violent crimes are going to become besties with him. The only person who can do anything to him would be someone who already has life and doesn't mind spending tears in the hole and never talking to family or ordering commissary again. PREA made hurting another inmate for the crime they committed a 'hate crime' usually people like him end up just being left alone and they hang out with each other.
@@gingerlee726 all it will take is one guard to mysteriously not see something! That little developmental act will not save him infact its makes him more of a target! Having commissary may buy him sometime...but not indefinitely!
He'll thrive. Sociopaths always do. Until caught of course.
I can hope!!
@@gingerlee726They're not going to be besties. They're going to take it
Oh oh ..... Learning more about Paul's thoughts regarding his brother! I suspected as much!
I admire this Judge so much! He's an outstanding representative of justice ❣️🙏🇺🇲
lucky me, though poor, I only experienced love and care growing up.I just turned 70, and still say daily thanks to my family, passed or alive, in my prayers.
It's astonishing that Paul truly thought he was going to get a light sentence for turning on Shanda. His look of shock was priceless.
Time stamp please! lol I’m so glad he’s going to prison for a long time. Timothy never deserved this
LOL it was a huge difference to his demeaner when the judge was talking about people writing into him (from courttv) about this trial 🤣 sitting up there grinning like he was someone famous.
@@NewdisasterIt was in the last two minutes. It happens pretty fast but it was wonderful to watch. That statement he wrote begging 'only for compassion and merci' didn't help him.
@@Newdisasterat the 50:23 mark
@@elainemackenzie9651do you have the time stamp I can't find it
We need more judges like this one in our country. I can’t imagine how difficult it was for him and the jury to hear the gory details of this case. Paul is definitely physcotic & a danger to society. He truly believed he’d serve little or no jail time.
Very interesting hearing the findings of the court and what the judge had to say… Ferguson’s reaction to 30 years was the best. 😂🤷🏻♀️
PAUL KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING TO THAT POOR CHILD.
SAD SAD and SAD
Love that judge 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻30 to 100 years!! As it should be! RIP Timothy ❤
He is EXACTLY like his Mom! He absolutely knows right from wrong!
That's the point - she raised him to be like her. Do you think she knows right from wrong? I would like to know what Shanda's childhood was like
They both know it’s wrong or else they wouldn’t have hid this abuse, they would have spoke of it casually with others if they didn’t know right from wrong. Nice try.@@jreifsnyder2225
@@jreifsnyder2225 Are you kidding? It's not hard to see that both of them are very intelligent and did not miss a beat during the trials. For sure they KNEW fully what they were doing at the time was WRONG but didn't care. The judge got it right 100%
Don't forget, this creep practiced his control and evil deeds on innocent animals too. Did Mom teach that to him too?

I want the judge to show NOTHING but merci and compassion!? What about justice for Timothy paul?
Such a self serving thing to say of him.
@@twerkingherkin If I accidentally took a life I would tell the judge to give justice to my victim not me.
@@gingerlee726 exactly!
Exactly! And in his jail calls he talks about the great pillow someone bought him that was $33 as well as his need for more food than the average person due to his high metabolism. Oh, and no spicy food!
You've got to be kidding me?!? The lack of self-awareness and introspection is utter hypocrisy! His mother does the same thing. She complained about the prison food and is always asking her friend on the outside to put more money on her commissary so she can get better food. Unreal!!
This judge gets it.

"Mama" will call you a dummy...

Him acting like he didn't understand anything. Well he sure understood numbers right real fast. Did someone check to see if he sustained whiplash?

@@eskylent7962 there were two older people that contacted him and gave him commissary money weekly, one just felt bad for him the other reminded him of his autistic son. They both wrote the judge.
Paulwas accused of sexually abusing Timothy and was removed from the home. Shanda was never supposed to see Timothy without supervision via court rulings . It’s sad .

What?
@@jreifsnyder2225 Exactly! Yet people are spreading this like wildfire! Thanks Zav for LEAVING OUT that part in your commentary! A lot of read the accusations were FALSE!!!
She never had custody of Timothy, the father did. So, why didn't the father step in and save Timothy? The sexual assault on Timothy is so very disgusting and disturbing!!
Man, I bet that judge is glad this case it over!!
💯❤️ That judge!🇺🇸
The Judge really is amazing, I love the way he called out Paul on his bullshit act, I was hoping that he would bring out Timothy's picture to show Paul
My favorite line from the Judge Kecel before he sentenced him, “ I think he one step away from becoming a psychopath like his mother”
Rest in Peace Timothy both of your abuser is serving time in prison.
I agree. The Judge called Paul a psychopath. That was chilling.
I like when he said I dont believe you are sorry
Paul will be a target in prison! Once the inmates get word of what and why he did to be in prison! The prison guards will tell the inmates! I’m glad the young man got justice! RIP😡
They thought they had a possible deal for light sentence if testified against his mother - but the judge said "only bread and hot sauce for you, Pauley.."
He already look like he is starving in there, lol
This comment made me laugh…rip sweet Timothy
He said that ??

Let God avenge. He knows how and He will bring it to pass as it should be.
Absolutely 💯 👍👍every day all day what happened to poor Tim broke my heart 💔
Boy his head snapped up when he heard that 30-100 years.
Please stop giving both him and his mother money to buy extra food that his brother never had. It’s disgusting that they both moan about the prison food they are giving.
I'll send them both lots of bottles of hot sauce
To anyone that has not looked further into this case.Please take a minute to just listen to some of the phone calls and text messages between paul and his mother and then in jail , paul and his supporters (all 3 😂) he HATED timothy and Shanda herself had to stop Paul from hurting Tim and when she was annoyed shed hand him over to get beaten by Paul. Hes a monster and he wanted to play his games not help his brother. Hes evil.
He has even now admitted that what he said in court was a lie.He doesn't even know how to make scrambled eggs
No, I don't think so.
Too bad the sound is low. I originally felt 'some' sympathy for this creep but watching him in the court room absorb and react to every word spoken there, tells me he fully understands the jist of what he did to that innocent boy. He absolutely knew and was only thinking of himself and worried about getting caught at the horrors and control he and his Mom had over this poor boy. Throw the book at him!
