She served her time. Whether or not you all agree with that does not matter. Let her live her life.
ReplyDeleteNo. We will NOT. She MURDERED a child. What if it was Your child?
Delete'Served her time'?! Are you crazy? 7 Years is too lenient a sentence for killing another human being.
DeleteShe looks like the same person
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't deserve to live her life free. She only got 7 years. What a joke
ReplyDeleteShe served her time . She was bullied just like the kids to day that end up snapping killing somebody or them selves .
ReplyDeleteEvery child (and even adults) get bullied at one time or another. Not everyone snaps and kills.
DeleteIt was HER deficit that she couldn't find another way to handle being bullied. LOTS of ppl are bullied. She KILLED a child, ffs. What is wrong with you?
DeleteAre you crazy? 'Served her time'?! 7 Years is not enough time to serve for killing another human being. GTFOH.
DeleteShe served her time . She was bullied just like the kids to day that end up snapping killing somebody or them selves .
ReplyDeleteNo, this killer served time alloted by her State for murdering as a minor.
DeleteNo, 7 years is too light of a sentence for murder as a minor.
DeleteShe Should Have Definitely Horton Life
ReplyDeleteAll these idiots on here saying she served her time...my ass she did. Are you equating 7 years to the 70 years she took from Kristin? If that was your daughter that was butchered I guarandamntee you wouldn't be saying that. People who have not been victims of violent crimes will never understand until it happens to them. This woman deserves to be harassed until the day she dies!
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with all of you that say to let her be, that she served her time. Ok then, let her watch your children overnight, ask her husband how well he sleeps after an argument, put yourself in the position of the parents of the LITTLE GIRL who was murdered on their door step.

DeleteI will note here as well, if any of you are using LinkedIn be wary that your searches are shared with The Costas unless you go to settings and set it to anonymous...
ReplyDeleteThe entire family should not be persecuted due to what one person did. If she tried to cover for her sister, it was wrong but understandable. Just be glad your sibling didn't put you in that situation.
