    If not for this girl, nothing would’ve happened. She deserves a murder charge. If the Courts let this slide, that false power she thinks she has will just commit another crime. We’ll see something happen if she serves 60 days. She’s her own worst enemy.

    This is another sad case of the judicial process letting down the victim/victims family. This young lady was an accessory to this crime that left the other young lady dead. I have no words here because I’m just shaking my head that this one was even offered a plea deal for such a horrendous act…they got this one wrong and I pray the family can find some type of avenue of peace and healing. That coward that’s next up on trial? I pray he isn’t given a plea deal for taking this young lady’s life….

    Plea deal ? This girl needs about 20 years in prison and 20 years probation !! This is a very dangerous individual as you will see!! Something is very wrong with the system terribly wrong !! And the shooter I hop he gets a death sentence
