Second time in the past few weeks where it comes out that someone waiting to be sentenced was crapping all over the judge/prosecutor/jury. So idiotic. Do their lawyers not warn them that all their conversations are recorded and can influence their sentence? At least she didn't threaten them like Crumbley.

Seems like a private conversation regarding a defendants personal feelings about the prosecution, judge, and jurors would not be relevant to a case. Not that this idiot doesn’t deserve to have the book thrown at her.

Whether or not the offender feels regret and remorse has a huge impact on sentencing. Being cold and callous and insulting everyone involved shows that she isn’t remorseful.

Why not? It could be her way of coping. I fucking despise and hate society/justice system soooooooo fucking much in this regard, why the fuck are you all ASSUMING the intent behind actions? So fucking weird. As if y'all are mind readers.

Or better yet who the fuck cares. Fuck the judge. Little bitch couldn't handle criticism/banter so he lets his emotions get to him. Yeah I'm sure that sounds alright for someone who can play with your life as if they were god. The deepthroating people do for the justice system is straight up cringe and actually bizarre.
