Growing up, aging, and dying in prison. That is truly a terrible fate. I would rather just be taken care of on the spot.
Just another gypsy Rose Blanchard. She’s gonna get out in about 10 years and start some sort of social media and become famous🎉
Growing up in prison 🔒🔒 it is over 😮😮
Her mom find she smoking marijuana so she shoot at her mom's head then invited her friends to see her mom's headless corpse. But people in comments were defending this pure evil. 🤮
That girl is only sad for herself. No remorse for what she did. Glad she will locked up for life.
Yeah because God forbid parents take responsibility 😂
Glad that jury had some sense
Wow, imagine being 14 years old and locked away in prison for the rest of her life. That's a very long time.
So? She killed her mother you sicko
Over a got damn spliff “weed” 🥀💔
She'll graduate, go to college 🎓
@@cherylthompson2731Yh .. she can even marry and have kids .. but remain in prison..
She did this to herself.
She is a threat to society.
Not anymore thankfully
Now is a treat in prision
Imagine pleading the insanity route every time someone commits a crime. Lawyer's a 🤡
That's true, but why would a girl her age kill her Mother?
We ALL know that as girls turn to puberty they want their Mothers close to them.
I don't know her but I pity her, her life is lost!
Maybe other things were NOT Checked on why she did that.
Maybe she is blaming her step father for possible her Mother leaving her biological father?
Was she abused and the Mother knew but said nothing?
There MUST be something.
True, I don't buy this Mental thing, but, she is so young, think why she did that?
As usually children don't take well with Step Fathers, then trying to adjust is very important; they DO adjust to Step Mothers.
Haa, One thing; IF she Smoked Marijuana, where WAS the Mother?
Why she didn't control her.
Sad, Really sad!
That’s why I dislike lawyers
That's the go to defense for Caucasians.
And for pot of all reasons. I smoke the stuff and not once has it ever given me any homicidal tendencies 🙄
It's a hard plead to achieve. They just don't have any other ptions in her facor cause she did it on camera and acts like a sociopath.
If she had some dignity, she'd just plead guilty and get it over with.
She knew EXACTLY what she was doing.
She is evil.
Crying her future will be behind bars for life ! Justice has been served
Not exactly the way it should have been, though. Because she's under 16, she should have been put in a juvenile detention centre, and once she turns 16, then she can rot in jail.
This is why it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Nobody's concerned about the mother being blown away. They're concerned how this little bastard is being treated.
She is 15 Y.O. U cow......even if I was a dead mom and my kid did this I still wouldn't wish them to spend a lieftime in jail......How did she get a gun in the first place?
I would rather be carried by six because I would know my fate, instead of being tried by 12 idiots forced by the law to be there.
She's an evil child
"She doesn't know what was happening at that time". This mental health thing is being taken too far😮
Anytime someone does something evil does not mean that they are mentally ill. She should be locked up for life.
Nah, brain not developed enough, so all actions are excusable and should be forgiven
@@tomsherman-tv6fvMurdering her mother is inexcusable. She was old enough to know what she did and now she is old enough to pay the time for doing the crime. She’s a murderer.
@@tomsherman-tv6fv this is the same excuse people always give .. and guess what happens .. another kid will go
And kill his parents or go on mass shooting ..
Kids am young minded point blank and sometime kid do stuff because the type of parents that raise them the word old enough that kids know what they doing it Don't make no sense.
@@tomsherman-tv6fv🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑
They need to stop using weed as an excuse.
And insanity.
We normally see boys being sentenced to life, but this is extremely rare for the opposite gender.
I thought males and females were equal?
That's because males commit more crimes. It's a man's world, after all, females just get to be in it ;)
@@gilson1982 Nope. A study from years ago say that men are 100% likely to commit offenses worthy of incarceration, and are 8 times more likely to be incarcerated in jail at least once in a lifetime than the opposite.
Nowadays we are recently under a huge misandry crisis, and suicides from men were actually in an all-time high than before despite being never told on media. I actually did see an online photo of a billboard reading "Stop The Misandry" not too long ago.
As of 2024, 93% of federal inmates are men, and they account for way over 75% of violent criminality in the United States, many of which are due to mental health and social norms.
@@gilson1982long story short, we aren't.
She's not insane. That was premeditation.
The jury agreed.
She didn't think about her consequences beforehand but afterwards she realized she can't get away with her actions. She's going right where she belongs.
They said kids don't go to prison after doing something so stupid and disgraceful. Well, they thought wrong. At least this time, that young lady is not being tried as an adult.
@@sonicgalaxy27 🤣🤣🤣 who is they?
She thought she was smarter than everyone else and get away with it ! Good to see justice to a point
I don't understand why these psychos start crying when they learn their fate? What did you think was going to happen after you murder someone in cold blood?
Probably thought they’d get away with it. And there have been cases of people getting away with the crime - mainly white children but typically they are rich (affluenza kid) or had a prior mental health diagnosis that the defense was able to use to get a reduced sentence. While teens her age know right from wrong many do not understand long term consequences and think in short term or within the moment consequences.
The lawer is an ass. "Your honor my client didn't know killing someone was wrong" .Bro went to school for all that time to say that LOOL
Lawyer has to say what they have to say so the defense client can’t say they didn’t try. If you’re being accused (particularly if you’re innocent) you would want them throwing everything at the wall and hope it lands with a few in the jury.
She will eventually realize the value of freedom.
Just when I thought I can't see anything as evil as the last thing on the internet, it one ups itself. Christ what is wrong with this world.
serious question - i thought it wasn't legal to sentence anyone under the age of 18 to life without parole? didn't the supreme court just hear a few cases like this?
She was charged as an adult. No idea what kind of criteria you need to meet to be charged as an adult at the age of 14, I suppose it's at the discretion of the AG and it varies from state to state.
Here in the UK, the legal age to go to prison is 16. If you're under 16, you'll head to a juvenile detention centre until you turn 16. I really hope that she didn't do this, as if she did, she's a disgrace to her family.
@@footystar1GamingOfficial She did it. There's no question about it. They have all the evidence, and she's already been found guilty.
Being charged as an adult as a minor is wild. What’s the point of having sentencing guidelines for minors/adults if they’re flimsy at best? Surely life in jail for a girl 10 years away from having her brain fully developed is a crime against humanity.
There needs to be some in between rule for cases that may justify sentencing as an adult. Like sentences that have more opportunities for parole with no possibility of life. With advances in tech she may live to 100 or older in prison, that’s just cruel.
@ footystar1GamingOfficial I believe there’s video footage including her dancing with the dog, her call to a friend asking how they were about dead bodies and trying to lay in wait (asked him when he would be home) then tried to attack the step dad who was able to fight her off.
"mental health issues" hmm sounds like bs to me.
Exactly, they thought that was going to work. SMH
The defense plans to appeal? Who is paying her defense costs?
The state
Tax payers
The lawyers advise them to cry for the judge's leniency even though the culprit feels no remorse.
Crocodile Tears
💯
But how do you know that, though?
@@footystar1GamingOfficial 🤦🤨
@@footystar1GamingOfficial but how do you not know that though. LMFAO 😎
That home must have been toxic. A child cannot randomly decide to shot her parents. There’s more to the story.
Oh my god, she killed her mom
You bastard
Crying like a 15-year-old girl is also not something an insane person would do. She knows what she did. She did it on purpose. Now she consciously and correctly regrets it.
This is sad at 15 she will not have a life every teen wants but there is no excuse to kill her mom
It's not sad. It's called justice serverd.
I careless if they even give her the death sentence .. she killed the only person that loved her the most ,, for no apparent reason .. guess what she will be capable of doing to those who offend her .
And tried to kill her stepdad. Kid is a malignant psychopath and should be kept locked up for life.
@@terrirood8407 really sick .. you sometimes wonder what’s going on in her mind ..
As I said there is no excuse for it not justyfing her actions
Evil pure evil
The stepfather was acting silly and smiling during the short trial and sentencing. He also stated, “you did well.”. 😮
Doing that would make me think there’s something more going on there. But because of the alleged footage (plus phone proof) and no evidence of him being involved makes it harder to prove his involvement. That’s an odd behavior not only because of what she did to her mom but also allegedly to him too.
She wasn't mentally ill, thats nonsense.
ikr. she would have had to already been diagnosed before with a Severe mental illness prior and not just anxiety and depression which most teens have. The tapes, texts and the diary all show she was sane and prenedated
She intentionally did what she did, she put thought into doing this.
At the age of 15 life without parole is cruel
She very obviously was not having a mental health crisis. That's laughable
Peace be upon you. What is this evil and crime above? May God protect you all and bless you. She is the criminal, satanic witch. We seek refuge in God from all evil. Amen, and may God bless everyone
Whose gun was it?
It was their fault for not securing the weapon
On top of that, She needs a psychological evaluation
Yeah I agree. It was the stepfather that made her consciously choose to shoot her mother 3 times. Perfect logic people 😑
She knew exactly what she was doing.
Thank you Lord Jesus for the gift of life and blessings to me and my family $14,120.47 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!🙏❤️❤️
I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
Sure, the investment-advisor that guides me is..
Mrs Lee Wallace Stacey
😱Sounds familiar, I have heard her name on several occasions.. and both her success stories in the wall Street journal!
Her services is the best, I got a brand new Lambo last week and paid off my mortgage loan thanks to her wonderful services!
Life in prison
This is crazy!! My mother is getting older and I dread the day I no longer have her. I would do anything in this world to keep her safe and healthy. I just can’t even wrap my head around this…..
Its possible. Drug-induced psychosis is actually a common symptom of marijuana no one talks about. My uncle had it and he sliced two fingers off. My cousin also has it and he has tried to kill my aunt and uncle 4 times. This is actually a serious issue.
It is not a common symptom of marijuana. You’re family is just crazy
@@sageisrage No, it is. You don't need to defend the leaf, bro. No one's saying you can't do it or trying to stop you. Carry on.
Schizophrenia is genetic, its not the weed. Your family is probably self-medicating symptoms with drugs instead of getting help. Something like 65% of americas use weed products, and no one else is cutting off fingers
@@Momofukudoodoowindushe did everything way to calmly
@Calebxtz ya I think she could be pleading something she's not suffering from. My experience with ppl who get drug-induced psychosis from weed is they usually start that new age high low vibration lingo and develop an obsession with some random person being "god" or "a messenger" or a "shape shifter", and eventually start hearing voices. Eventually, too, they develop a violent streak. But the thing is, is they have moments of clarity and know in those moments what they are doing.
Good for her! She turned down a plea deal thinking she was going to get a better sentence!
Why didn't he say, "She killed my wife?". It's as if he felt disconnected to his own wife.
I expected to hear about extenuating circumstances like abuse which would excuse the murder. The girl just shot her mother in cold blood. A clear danger to society, unless her attorneys bothered to have her mental health evaluated I see nothing to indicate she was having a mental break.
There was no evidence of any sexual abuse, and she didn't have any mental disorders. And they also say that she has a high IQ.
If they can do a reboot of How I almost got away with it, this story needs to be featured.
Not defending her whatsoever, but cases like this need to be reported to the FDA. She was on Zoloft and switched to Lexapro with no break. Before the switch she said she was feeling numb and zombie like. These meds alter your brain and she could have been having a very adverse reaction.
Your right, but they only mention cannabis. So as to make it seem like the natural substance is to blame, not the pharmaceutical industry.
I agree......and how did she get a gun? was it in the house and easily accessible?
And i guess weed usage was not a good combo
@@karenmbbaxteryea I didn’t see where they said she got the gun.
look at the 12 year old that stabbed her brother to death after being on and off medication, there is something to putting these children on heavy meds that we are missing
What should other countries learn from the USA???
An eye for an eye period no remorse for this one
All this because she got caught smoking weed? Jesus these young people are helpless .
I thought they changed the law in 2012 where juveniles have to get the change of parole?
Should be life in prison with possibility of parole in 30 years. The people of 2054 can decide what to do with her.
They had this girl coming to court in a school uniform trying to make her look innocent, well she should've been coming to court in handcuffs because that girl is dangerous and the step father is just as stupid as her attorney...
sick and tired of the "mental health crisis" , I probably have a couple a year, it's not a license to kill or an excuse IMHO
If someone has an actual mental break they are totally unaware of what they are doing. You obviously have never had a psychotic break they can’t control what they are doing.
Snotting crying, she makes me sick!🤬
I pray for this girl, the evil one is waiting for us all to let down our guard, she just a baby, ❤🙏
Have kids and they will send you to your grave. Literally😂
2024 where kids are being charged as an adult…crazy
Only when they’re white
She learned from IDF... Trigger happy person.
Weed doesn’t make you loose control like that if she was having strong effects she would have probably been sinking into a couch high asf not wielding a gun
At the end of the day, it makes you think of the type of parenting that must’ve played a part to drive a kid to such an evil action. She was once, not long a go, a sweet little girl and now this smh. And to be fair, that’s way too much maximum sentence considering her situation. God have mercy on her soul!
In a divorced household. Probably highly manipulative and psychologically abusive. Probably on SSRI’s. Not the kids fault.
@@COOLFRIENDTrue!
Why is this one case getting so much attention when nearly EVERY WEEK I read or see where a teenager has murdered one or both parents somewhere in America 🇺🇸🤔
Young white girl
You’re exaggerating.
@@msshieka943 Get your head out of the sand and find out 😳
knew exactly what she was doing, so adult crime adult time, but I thought that they have to have a chance at parole after 25 years or so when they are that young or does that change from state to state
"Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460 (2012), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that mandatory sentences of life without the possibility of parole are unconstitutional for juvenile offenders."
So does that mean that she will most likely be resentenced in appeal?
im sure you know the law better than lawyers, district attorneys, and the courts. If its illegal they will win appeal.
@@antoniodiego9357not necessarily. The key word in the SC ruling he cites is *mandatory*. The ruling states that mandatory life sentences for juveniles are unconstitutional, HOWEVER, that in no way means that a juvenile can’t be sentenced to life in prison. There are a few more qualifying factors whether or not a convicted juvenile can qualify for a life sentence with no parole, but courts absolutely can impose such a sentence if it deems those qualifying factors have been met.
The key word to remember in the SC ruling is *mandatory*. The ruling states that *mandatory* life sentences for juveniles are unconstitutional, which stands to this day. HOWEVER, that in no way means that a juvenile can’t be sentenced to life in prison or that it is illegal or unconstitutional to do so. There are a few more qualifying factors whether or not a convicted juvenile can qualify for a life sentence with no parole, but courts absolutely can impose such a sentence if it deems those qualifying factors have been met
The defense claimed that she didn't know what she was doing was wrong, but they couldn't or wouldn't explain why she attempted to destroy the video evidence the crime. That alone proves that she knew the nature of the crime. The jury got it right.
This story should've been a segment for ID Investigation's Deadly Women (sadly, the show was cancelled, but hopefully there's a reboot about newer or recent crimes).
It isn’t the weed it’s her I am a cancer survivor and weed helps me
That's you. For some people like me it gives them paranoia and can cause you to become schizophrenic of you have the genetics for it.
Everyone is different. I smoked weed aa as a teen and was fine. My sister trued it and started having mental health issues.
What a sad story. Seems weird to put out a news story with so few details, but it’s sad that 2 lives have been wasted regardless.
Why did she kill her mother and attempt to kill her stepfather? Was there any type of abuse?
No claims of abuse by her mother, or her stepfather. She basically wasn't happy that Ashley was searching for certain things in her bedroom.
Poor sweet soul....rest in peace: please help all Lord Gud...hugs'*maria
Might be an honest mistake
Damn...
What a sad life she wil end up having. Growing up in a prison and get to die in prison aswell.
Usual suspect.
Yeah blame the herb not her parents not the divorce not whatever else going on in her head or the easy access to a firearm not properly locked away blame the herb.
How stupid do you have to be to shoot your mom with cameras in the house. Come on.
I thought it was unconstitutional to sentence a minor to life without parole?
She was sentenced as an adult.
What a sweet little girl.....
Unbelievable how there is zero sympathy for this child. Her parents were divorced and I’m going to guess she was likely on SSRI’s. Not her fault.
That’s no excuse for killing someone, many parents divorce but you don’t see those kids killing their mother or father! She pulled the damn trigger it is her fault she had no sympathy for the one who raised her she don’t deserve sympathy get your head screwed on straight bum
Ok lunatic.
Cool friend volunteer to take her in to live with your family.
@@StevenBiko1exactly 😂😂
@@buttface1367😂
Oh look it's that corrupt mediator.
I wish the media would do a better job of reporting on the background of cases like these. I have known so many childhood abuse survivors that I am ALWAYS suspicious of the parents. Very rare is the child who is a true psychopath and will kill their own parent because they are "evil." Much MUCH more common is an abused child who is lashing out in a distorted act of self-defense against a monster who masquerades as their mentor and guardian. Maybe this case really is one of the former types, where the kid was just rotten. But the media didn't do a good enough job reporting on the story for us to make any kind of informed judgment. So in lieu of good information, I think I'm on the kid's side in this one. Because that's what the statistics say. A kid who is violent against a parent usually has a lifetime of strong reasons to do it.
Dont do this is bad i love my parents 😊
So sad man condolences to the family the rest in peace it's only one question why 😢
Why did she do tht ??
What really made her murder her own Mother? Her Step Dad is still alive but he's likely living with the trauma that his wife is dead and that his step daughter is still alive .... although in Prison indefinitely.
Carly wasn't pleased with Ashley going into her bedroom to search it, and this appears to have been Carly's motive for doing what she did 🙄
Why would he say that she's innocent, when she shot her own mom in the face and killed her an tried to kill her stepdad, people will do anything for money 💸💰, she's guilty guilty guilty on all counts of first degree murder. Before we do something or children do a very serious sin we really have to think 🤔 about the consequences so we don't get ourselves in trouble, and be put in prison for the rest of our lives or the death sentence. So sad how she lost her freedom an killed her own mom.
At least the dogs are ok😢
Spoiled kids...usual suspect
Yeah , i heard many cases , so many family , pimp_ng her kids for money , like so much stuff s_x traf,or videos , images etc, and later those kids grow up and lose her mind finding out everything they go through, and k_ll themselves or her parents ,its sick to see , i remember reading some kid saying hi lost her mind when find out hes parent treat him like a dog , hiding from the world and they abuse him and pimping him , they paid everything with that money and live like kings while he cant even go outside , imagine living in that conditions , no wonder why he kill both parents when he was 17.
I think She has schizofrenia not an accuse but in combination with meds and marijuana.?!!This maybee in combination with dark traits. Hope She gets a new trial and help..eventually reality will catch up with here.
Not sobbing
She may not be sad now, but she will be when she finds out who she's in prison with.😝
idk if life in prison for a 14 year old is truly the solution here. I mean i understand what she did was absolutely horrible, but never seeing the daylight anymore at 14 thats absolutely horrible. Remember shes still a child and not even fully developed. Idk, obviously as a european i see this a little different than americans, so i might be a little biased
She still has zits. Yikes.
How is Die-varisty working out? Oh...wait!!
Ttly disagree with sentencing a 15yo to life w/o parole. An individual who shoots the woman that gave birth to them, clearly has a mental defect. Shipping them off to live 100% of their time her in jail is NOT the answer.
America sends lots of children away for life
Ice cold devil 😈
Yay psychotropics.
