She did the typical acting out of an abused teen.
This is an old story, hopefully more of the general public understands the complicated psychological manifestations of abuse.
I'm disgusted by this verdict. DISGUSTED
She is a cold blood killer. She killed her father, what was she expecting??😂😂
I’m 35 and i only told one person an that person didn’t believe me but the whole community knew and was talk but didn’t help me
I know there's a stigma of never dispute the victim but I'm sorry I think she's lying
He's definitely was a abuser
Hard to make a judgement in a case like this when you don't know who is telling the truth
I don’t give any weight to the testimonies of paid “expert witnesses”. When I worked in the court, we used to call them prostitutes because they would say whatever they were paid to say.
Mom is just as evil! Justice for dad 🙌🏻
Mandy deserves more than life!!!
My daughter is 37 now. She was moleby her Dad and Stepdad at 7-9. I still haven't gotten over it, because it still effects her. She fell into drugs, herarriage failed, I'm raising my grandaughter.
Recently she shared that she was trafficked for a few years… she was hard to contact or find.
I Thank God Everyday that I had gotten my Grandaughter when I did.
My daughter now has a pacemaker…
I almost lost my Babygirl.
I can't help feeling Mindy and her history was not taken serious. If she had been pregnant it could have been proven. What kind of 'jealousy' or histeria is hidden. Her sentence is rediculous.
I did not like the second wife and how she was 'gleaming' at Mindy's sentence.
If you are in an abusive relation you see others in similar distress from miles…. And abusive from same person warning bells should be so so loud… And mom step mom didn't realise
I ended up getting memory of my childhood with my dad after my daughter came to me after niece was messing with her. I got flash backs. Went to court and no one believed me and called it false memory. I confronted him and he said he was molested when he was 10 by a neighbor in the garage, but he never denied messing with me to me. it sux to not be believed. I have had no contact with him since 2008 and never will.
I believe her. as a small child I too was "daddy's little girl" but as I grew up his animosity toward me grew in leaps and bounds because as a narcissistic ,backwards, ill-raised misogynist he couldn't handle that I was becoming my own person with my own mind and a woman's body. so many issues he had, sick.
Teenagers gone wild
Hi guys, can anyone tell me what happened with her lawyer ? He loves her seriously? 😮😮😮 my goodness, that's unprofessional…
Me immediately goes to google and facebook after watching this to see where she is now… she was arrested again in Sept 2024. So sad what her life has become. I believe she was abused by her father just by what the stepmom said about him putting his hands on her neck.
That was a shameful verdict. The brothers are disgusting
Its heard to listen to the mother. She knew how far he could go, and she left her very valuable children to him. Please
It's tragic but it wasn't self defense….
Very sad outcome on both sides.
If she truly was deathly afraid of her father, why would she bring cigarettes into his house?
That girl was lying!
Ofc his parents & family/wife are going to say hes innocent but they're full of 💩
I somehow believe she’s did shoot him BECAUSE she was afraid of him😢
I just watched it and there are so many questions. Why she didn't just go to her mother, why her mother didn't took her in if he was so abusive? Why the mother left the children behind in the first place? Too bad we weren't able to hear what her brothers said, about the situation in the home. I believe she was depressed and that's why she acted out, but I don't think because of her dad but because of her mother who abandoned her. Girls need their mother especially when she was pregnant and probably very scared and devastated.
I'm like her did not tell anyone,,,they think I'm a father's favorite..they did not know sex abuse..I just runaway😢😢it's a shame to tell😢
This episode feels like comedy to me 😂😂😂.
The brothers are EXACTLY like their father's side. Pure Evil. They punished their mother through Mindy. That stupid Stepmom reminds me of a Witch. Nobody asked why she had a diary JUST about Mindy's routine. This is absolutely crazy.
There’s just something nagging at my gut. I just don’t believe her.
i can't stand her mom
Mom is in denial. Her daughter is a murderer.
Oh. An only son. Sounds like a treasured golden child who is enabled because he could do no wrong. How many of us know this one?
I hear abusers who think of themselves as victims who are protecting the beatified martyr who faced consequences. I believe her.
I've investigated abuse. That wife and family sound like they have bonded as abusers to protect an abuser. None of them should be believed.
So glad she was finally released. I was gonna bake a cake with a file in it.
Excuse after excuse. A mean teenager snapped out of anger then made all kinds of excuses. Her mom didn't give her the guidance or the support she needed. I can totally imagine that.
i feel like anyone who says “oh he’s just the sweetest guy i could never see him hurting anyone at all!” should really consider that most abusers don’t show their bad side to anyone but the one they’re abusing. they take out all their anger and issues on the person they’re abusing. i’d argue an abuser where the defenders say they’re a perfect person who’d never do anything wrong is much more suspect than someone people admits has some flaws.
edit: also if someone whose trying to defend an abuser is able to brush off something like choking the victim you know they’re willing to hide much worse
She's such a good liar😂
The stepmother and brothers don’t realize what side of him he hid.
I believe in Mindy. Her changes in teenage years by “acting out” wasn’t to challenge him, but to deal with her trauma. I do believe her.
I believe this girl. I was SA’d by TWO men who were the husbands of my mothers best friends. When I told my mother, she didn’t believe me! Even when one of the men went to prison for abusing his own daughter, she STILL refused to believe me!! I never spoke about it again.
I blame her mammy, she didn't help her child, what a poor excuse for a Mom
Stop taking my comments down
She’s a liar; got her just desserts. She was released in 2013 —
