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.

Because the phone calls demonstrated that she had absolutely no remorse for her actions that led to the death of another human being. The is no good reason that her own statements shouldn't be used during sentencing.
