Couple things to address the erroneous comments.
Lou…There won’t be a trial, she plead straight up to the court according to the article.
JTV…Judge Nobles can only sentence her to what the law permits and that is also dependent upon competency. There are some variables that also come into play that you may never know unless you read the transcript of the procedings.
God got you! I pray
Chattahoochee bound, hopefully. God bless the victim.
Life in prison with no parole sounds fair.
HATE CRIME
Should catch the death sentence, but via the same means she used to murder.
Terrible crime. My heart breaks for the victim. Trial on the horizon; hopefully justice will be served. Too bad Betty’s justice can’t be what she did to the victim.
Keep your eyes open, don’t trust anyone.death or injury by fire is a common impulse by some murderous species.
All eyes are on you, Let’s see what you got, Judge Nobles.
She should never see a free day again. What she did is beyond reprehensible.
The victim must live with the horror that happened mentally and physically for the rest of their life.
