  1. Wow women are so awesome and totally not evil!

  2. Of course its these kinds of people doing this why am I not surprised

  3. Where can I watch full exclusive?

  4. Well ..rich people do have underground snuff parties so either way I wouldn't put it past the guy for mentioning killing to her ..what's a snuff party you say? Well it's just like that man told that woman and I just found out it's real when I was watching something on tv

  5. 🤮 This reminded me of why I quit watching the news.

  6. Death penalty will calm alot of bad behavior down instantly.

  7. WTF IS WRONGGG WITH PPL ISTG🤬🤬🤬 JUST SICK SICK SICKKKK SMDH🤬..This is DISGUSTINGGGG🤬 SADDD ASF💔 WRONGGG ASF🤬 and just shows how CRAZY n WEIRDDD ppl TRULYYYY TRULYYYY ARE PERIODDD 🤷🏻‍♀️💯💯💯

  8. Defendants don’t deserve to live, they’ll be up to this again once they are out.

  9. I enjoyed smoking pot & skateboarding as a teenager….no murders… only thing we murdered was $1.99 crazy bread from Little Ceasars.

  10. Dad, this will never be over. Pain may lessen. I pray it does.

  11. What a waste of a big nice chest

  12. Disgusting and pathetic

  13. Omg you heathens rot in prison

  14. Why is the American justice system so easy on white women? This was an appalling crime. If it was my daughter, I'd be paying someone in prison to shiv her.

  15. I feel for this dad. What despicable thing. So much hurt because of these monsters.

  16. uhhh what ever happened to going to work….lemonade stands a paper route…or even selling merchandise on line to earn a living? This is the ultimate of evils WOW!

  17. Milk of Magnesia Kween! This is who we should all strive to be like 😍

  18. She has got to be the most evil woman in the USA. Who does something like this???😢

  19. Hey NBC news if anybody sees this comment anybody that listens to your videos with air buds on gets blasted at the end of it when you’re newscaster comes in and says thanks for watching because the volume is too loud turn it down please. You’re gonna have people that don’t want to click on it

  20. Complete trash total monsters 👿

  21. I feel horrible for Cynthia's family. May she rest in peace.

  22. Did they get the 9 million dollars 💰💰💰💰

  23. Condolences to the family. My heart breaks for you.

  24. "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul in the process?" Someone should have drilled those words into these murderers heads. I hope they get the maximum sentence. There is no amount of money that would prompt me to murder an innocent person.

  25. Weird how whyte ppl, especially whyte womn always gets offered plea deals smh..
    #ClownJustice 🤡
    #FAmerika

  26. Privilege does have its privileges, they all need to go to jail.

  27. I grew up in Alaska although I don't live in Alaska anymore. This is very sad.

  28. I think the prosecutor is more defendant friendly than a criminal defense lawyer! These young adults are evil sophisticated criminals! Tired of that crap about young developing brains! Her heart was depraved and that's the issue. This case should have gone to a common sense jury because the courts, the lawyers, have lost sight of "seeking justice."

  29. Not the brightest bulbs in the lamp, anyone of them. Poor girl. RIP

  30. Why? Did they know the young lady? What was the reason, what did they get out of it or are they just psychotic? Wtf???🤬

  31. There is a level of stupidity these days that's truly shocking

  32. Where are all the racist comments…. oh wait nevermind.

  33. If anyone and anyone is involved in taking life then all of them deserves 👁️ 4 👁️…
