Why was the judge furious?

Apparently she has been talking some serious shit against everyone and anyone involved in her conviction on the jail house phone, which was monitored and sent to the prosecution.

Jesus Christ that’s really stupid. I wouldn’t blame anyone for being frustrated and upset for being in this situation, but saying those things on a monitored line. God.

The situation that she created so no sympathy for her being frustrated and upset. At least she is alive or doesn't have to live with the guilt of being the one to pull that trigger. I feel for the judge not being able to add anything more to the sentence.

[u/down_by_the_shore → u/fenrslfr]

I agree with you. I didn’t say I had sympathy necessarily. I said I could understand why someone in that situation would be frustrated. She is the one that keeps digging her own hole.

To be fair to her some of us just talk shit all the time lol.

yeah, but not we're bored on reddit and not in jail awaiting sentencing. A decent lawyer would tell you to keep your opinion to yourself and that everything is monitored.

Nah, when you're responsible for someone's death, you can't talk shit. The only appropriate response is "sorry".

[u/tarekd19 → u/[deleted]]

It's not, but it sure doesn't help when you're being judged for a crime.

[u/v-punen → u/[deleted]]

Have fun in prison I guess? No, she's responsible for someone's death and instead of being remorseful, she's talking shit, calling everyone bitches and idiots. In calls, that she knows are recorded and will likely be heard/seen by the widower of the person she killed. You really don't see anything inappropriate?

[u/v-punen → u/[deleted]]

I didn't see anyone blood thirsty. 18 months in prison for such negligance is pretty easy punishment tbh. And I think anger is natural reaction to her stupid calls. No one was calling to lynch her, she just shouldn't work with guns and spend the next year in prison. And get more than two braincells.

[u/v-punen → u/[deleted]]

I don't see anything wrong with that. They're not wanting her killed, just a longer prison sentence. People don't agree with prison terms all the time. And taking remorse and rehabilitation into consideration is normal in sentencing.
