This wouldn't have happened if that woman had exercised her RIGHT to have an abortion. But it will happen more in the future since so many women who can't even take care of themselves are being forced into a motherhood they aren't ready for, let alone capable of. And don't even get me started on the additional laws in Red States being proposed as we speak giving rapists the title & legal rights of fatherhood so they can have influence too.
Blame Obama and his insane school policies that kept Cruz out of jail.
How many police encounter without jail time?
First of all, she said “polluted”
No excuse. Others came from the same situations. And yet they didn't go out and murder people. BS.
as someone who came from a "poisoned womb" that's no exuse. My parents abused & tried to murder me. Bc I knew how it felt & I knew no innocent person deserves what I went thru, never did I CONSIDER becoming like them.
The family was crazy
Wtf does this have to do with anything? That's why I don't trust the judicial system. Stop sensationalizing this motherf🤬cker. You already know It was him, decide the sentence, throw him in prison and shut the fu🤬k up.
This world is messed up.
I wish his mother would have had her MAGA cancer removed early before it went off shooting people and sitting around being worthless.
Dammmmm
I would guess that anyone born out of a druggie mother would end up being messed up physically and mentally…
Polluted womb? Sounds like a line from Scarface
So, are they insinuating that you’re crimes of mass murder are not punishable by the death penalty if your mom was a prostitute and crackhead? Tell that to the people that succeeded despite the fact their parents were lowlifes!
Give him mercy. Give him death. 💀
Just label him another ethnicity than white and take him out cause all of a sudden due process needs to happen for this vato
Can people that don't look like him also use this as a defense to reduce their sentences?
It's interesting to note that his sister (testifying here) is also a convicted felon and labeled as a violent offender. She's only 34 and is goong to serve life in prison for her last crime. Assault on a 72yr old during a car jacking.
I can't help but notice the black security guy @1:36! He puts his head down & almost seems like he took this personally. Hope he didn't also grow up in a bad environment or come from a broken home! 😒
This is why WOMEN who cannot support a child should have an abortion
This public defender is going above and beyond. She is hoping this is the case that makes her career.
It’s everyone else’s fault but mine
Life is hard for tons of people that is not a license to shoot up people.
He will be punished, but the womb of his terrible mother damaged him. He can’t be helped.
When I see this, I begin to wonder WHY eugenics is so looked down. C'mon….. all those abortions CANT be wrong!!
Seriously though, some folks NEED sterilization. Just facts.
Making excuses for a lunatic is asinine.
And this is why I say the parents of these monsters need to be investigated and prosecuted too!
You mean he should have been an abortion?
this headline is disgusting.
