It's obscene that 16 year olds are given excuses because of their age when it comes to certain crimes. Yes, they tend to be more immature and impulsive. This was not a crime of immaturity and impulse.
Oh boy Big bubba 🤣 might become his cellie 😮😮😮
He had a smug look and dupers delight smile throughout his statement, right up until sentence. And it was wiped away when he heard the sentence and realized it didn't work. Well done Judge.
We must stop procreating – we have stopped making viable and decent specimens. 💔
Defendant basically called in his apology to the families. I don't sense any remorse whatsoever. Sentence is correct. Hopefully he'll develop a conscience in prison.
Miller was sentenced to life, with a minimum term of 35 years in prison before being eligible for parole.
With that mouth of his and his looks he’s going to be very popular in prison.
Who knows what that monster did and got away with before the murder! I think he crossed the line and got caught, so it’s quite possible a future serial killer was stopped. I hope the only way he gets out of prison is in a wood box.
35 years is an insult to her and her family! He’ll spend less time in prison that she was alive and that’s wrong. If he manages to get out at age 53 he’ll still be young enough to commit more murders because I don’t see him being rehabilitated at all. If he does come out alive a better person than he was going in then that will be a miracle. I prefer he comes out in a wood box with his name on it.
know he can go meet his gangster friends and see how they treat this pretty , Little White boy.😂
Wow what a idiot he doesn’t deserve to ever see a day of sunlight he clearly doesn’t know how to act even behind bars and he’s supposed to get another chance in society.
SO HE WILL COME OUT OF JAIL PROBABLY IN HIS LATE 30’s EARLY 40’s HE’LL MAKE A MOVIE DEAL OR WRITE A BOOK OR SOMETHING BASE ON THIS HORRIBLE CRIME AND MAKE LOTS IF MONEY ! BECAUSE THIS IS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN NOW!👎🏻
I’m sure prisoners will wipe that smug right off of his face. Not an ounce of remorse. Just pure evil.
He showed no remorse and doesnt show any emotion..stares ahead..blank look on his face.
Just prayer for everyone involved. Jesus saves souls.
That's all you can do.
But by NO means should his "under" 18 yrs of age have ANYTHING to do with his sentencing.
Family will never be the same again. 💜🙏😥
Why did they gloss over the fact she was found in her bra with her pants around her ankles. Why was that not addressed?
He will have lots of friends in jail
I'm curious nothing was brought up on him, them, being on drugs. I spoke with one of Chaiden's classmates a week after the act. She said they had regularly been on marijuana, psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and liquor. Other accounts informed me they may have been on a dangerous mind altering inhalant. They must have taken something that seriously altered their reality and obliterated their sense of self and conscience! Otherwise, at age 16 your DNA wouldn't allow one to go off the plank like that and commit such an atrocity.
Did the defense attorney get paid by the prosecution? Such a compelling argument… not!
Did these guys actually think they were going to get away with killing that teacher ? And they walked around with no conscience what they had done ??!!
He will not even be able to interact outside of prison at that age. I see this young man being in institutions for the rest of his life unless he rehabilitates genuinely.
Very big brow bone, probably has some sort brain damage
Def something wrong , such dead eyes
It's insane that he was more concerned about not getting into college than he was robbing a person of their life and ending up in prison for the rest of his. My God. Was he pressured by his parents to be academically perfect??? Still, how did it come down to murder???
I saw a smile when he first approached the judge..
Damn I wish there were subtitles for his interview with the detective
You tube froze while the son gave his impact statement and again the moment of sentencing
What happened ?
His lawyer had more reactions than he did
😢
The biggest wakeup call to all parents who are against spankings their child. When they can speak a sentence. They can explain their frustration with discipline and acknowledge that hurting others or being ignorant has consequences. A small tap multiple times. Slows the brain from this type of impulse reactions the judge said happened. Screw his mom and dad. And screw the judge for not using common sense. 20yrs is life. This is just more tax payer dollars for someone who would have been only 30-40+ yrs old after 20yrs. The most productive time in this kids life. Not age 40yrs old+. We will be paying taxes for his usefulness when he is free. Living off govt housing.
What about the other boy.
That was an epic smirk.
His speech was pathetic. No feeling at all. How is that possible!!
how about some subtitles. Deaf cannot read this. Matter of fact now can the non-deaf. No point in putting up unintelligible audio CTV.
Rubbish in = Rubbish out. No fun listening to bad audio. Bye!
Copy L&C's better quality audio without interference.
It’s always the same culture that will take your life if things don’t go their way!!! Next it’s the entire family!! Look at Jan 6th! Things didn’t go their way! So they tried to destroy our capital…. What’s next!!!! …. He’s going to claim mental health watch!!! Or he’s going to play the victim!!
Long winded judge. That being said, beating a human being to death should earn a death sentence regardless of the murderer's age.
My poor father was a officer, when he would go to work with a suit he would be cursing 😂. He would say the worst part of my job court and paperwork 😂
Each state laws are different. But I've heard much Worse cases were the person killed .never got life in prison. And was out after serving 7 years. . Children should not be sentenced to life in prison. Our laws in this country.are backwards.
It’s pretty easy to see through this transparent little bastard… He has no remorse at all for what he did. He only feels sorry for himself
that person is inherently evil and that is not going to change. Sadly some are born that way, it is in their DNA – lacking empathy and real human emotions – can't change the DNA….
It's so satisfying knowing that this pretty boy will be much loved among the other prisoners. 😂
He looked like he was falling asleep when the judge was addressing him before giving the sentence.
