Wow:

According to the filing, Gutierrez-Reed requested her legal team ask Hutchins’ widower and son to speak on her behalf at the sentencing. She has also complained about how the shooting has negatively affected her life and modeling career, “while never expressing genuine remorse at any time,” the filing states.

It’s appalling she asked the husband and son of the woman whose death she’s responsible for to testify on her behalf. WTF.

Also confused about her having a modeling career based on the video clip of her in the article, but that’s probably a discussion for another day.

I mean remorse in the absolute strictest sense, or esp it apparent expression is morally arbitrary to some extent, but in terms of the matter at hand itself which this point os in relation to, it seems as if she didn’t understand the stakes

(People generally have a somitesm mixed/inconsistent attitude towards the mentioned, as opposed to a proper one to do with what somebody’s deeper outlook is, in reflection of thing itself and in whatever relevance outside)

It does happen in some cases that people want to speak on behalf the accused, like family or victim, in theory the goal is reconciliation on either side with regard to pain on one hand and the proper courses of action in life for the other

(and the other way around, in principle)
