discipline her and was scared about something like that happening again Tyler acted out frequently and would often run away from home and smoke even though she wasn’t allowed to when Tyler was 14 years old she met 19-year-old Steven Paul Culver and started dating him even though she was a minor this was illegal and kver knew this but this didn’t stop him from being in a relationship with her Culver was also obsessed with knives a detail that is very crucial to this case when they started dating Tyler started telling

murder conviction because evidence showed that the gas pedal on the car was pushed to 100 mph with 100% pressure exerted on the wheel there was no attempt to push the brakes it was revealed that she left her foot on the pedal the whole time and soon enough Mackenzie schrill was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder a trauma surgeon who worked on shriller reported that she took responsibility for what happened to her boyfriend and his friend the defense also admitted that the crash was her
fault however she didn’t do it on purpose and it was truly an accident McKenzie’s lawyer desperately tried to show that Mckenzie was innocent and didn’t intentionally crash the car because of the nature of the trial it was up to judge Nancy Margaret Russo to determine what was going to happen to McKenzie and for judge Russo McKenzie shr’s actions were intentional and she knew what she was doing the video clearly shows the purpose and intent of the defendant she chose a course of death and destruction that day exhibit
802 crystallizes the deadly decision making of the defendant judge Russo said that shrill wanted to kill both boys and probably herself in the crash too she called her a literal Hell on Wheels despite this McKenzie’s mother Natalie shrill desperately begged the court trying to prove that her daughter wasn’t a murderer she addressed the family of the victims and told the judge that Mackenzie had no memory of the accident your honor this was a terrible tragic nightmare accident to have happened that she has no memory of and she will never
emotionally or physically recover of it she almost died too and we’re asking that you please not run the sentences consecutive he was family and we all love each other ultimately the decision came down to judge Russo and she presented the state’s verdict Mckenzie was found guilty of first-degree murder and it was time to hear the victim impact statements the sister of Daven Flanigan asked the judge to give McKenzie the longest sentence possible I would like you to give McKenzie the longest possible sentence Dominic
Russo’s brother also took the stand and let the court know that Mckenzie was the most selfish person he knew Kenzie statement in the hospital to detective ISO can’t you just take my license away for 10 years or something something that statement is Mackenzie Shilla the most selfish person I know ironically Dom was the most selfless person I know Mackenzie also addressed the court and the families of her victims apologizing to them while in tears I wish I could remember what happened I’m just so sorry I’m heartbroken I love D and Davon we were
all friends and D was my soulmate I wish I could take all your pain away and I’m so sorry Mackenzie was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for the murder of Dominic Russo and D Flanigan we now turn to the dark path of Jennifer me a former internet sensation whose fleeting Fame took a sharp and deadly turn into crime and lifelong consequences then Jennifer and her parents embarked on a whirlwind media tour appearing on local and national news shows hoping someone would be able to offer a solution none have worked so far that sound has been
her constant companion since the first hick four weeks ago tomorrow and the sound is the least of it I get really bad chest pain abdominal pains throat pains back pains for me also known as the hiccup girl first gained attention in 2007 at 15 her unique condition a long- lasting cause of hiccups made her an instant sensation she appeared on several TV shows and became a household name captivating audiences with her quirky personality and infectious laughter lots of water other suggestions have been impractical or illegal
somebody told me to smoke marijuana take a hit of marijuana that would help yeah but you’re not going to go that rout oh definitely not as Jennifer’s Fame faded her life began to unravel she met her boyfriend Lamont Williams and together they embarked on a dangerous path that led to murder and a lifelong sentence after her boyfriend luron Rayford caught the two in the ACT but that didn’t come out in court today were you faithful to Lon yes Jennifer and LaMont began searching for victims online targeting vulnerable or unsuspecting individuals
they would befriend these individuals gaining their trust and then lure them to vacant homes under the pretense of a meeting or business opportunity once inside Jennifer and LaMont would rob their victims at gunpoint Jennifer me appeared on closed circuit TV for less than 30 seconds my probable cause your bond is currently zero can you afford a lawyer to help you however on October 8th 2010 their plans went tragically arai Jennifer Lamont and their accomplice lren Rayford lured 22-year-old Shannon Griffin to a
vacant house in Tampa Florida once inside the three teenagers robbed Shannon and he was fatally shot four times with a 38 caliber handgun through meticulous detective work police were able to uncover incriminating evidence leading to the arrest of Jennifer Lamont and luron all three confessed to their involvement in the crime and were charged with murder I heard to did you see the actual shooting happen or no no sir what happened after the gunshots tell me what happened I didn’t there on I left during Jennifer’s trial the
prosecution played a recording from a jail house phone call between Jennifer and her mother where Jennifer admitted she did not physically kill anyone but said she set up the situation however experts testified that Jennifer’s DNA was discovered on the victim’s shirt her attorneys sought to portray her as suffering from schizophrenia arguing that her mental condition rendered her unable to stand trial after a court ordered evaluation it was determined that Jennifer was competent to stand trial now you can see that me broke down
right as that verdict was read she was obviously hoping that the jury would convict her on a lesser charge perhaps accessory to murder or manslaughter now though she’ll spend the rest of her life behind bars in 2013 3 years after Shannon was killed Jennifer was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole her accomplices were also convicted and received life sentences the public was in disbelief that the internet sensation hiccup girl had been convicted of such a heinous crime many
criticized the sentence arguing that it differed from what would be imposed on a male offender facing similar circumstances I couldn’t even tell you I got CED up with the wrong crowd of people people really um unfortunately when I started experimenting with drugs I just felt like I was invincible to everything Jennifer sought a new trial following the conviction but her appeal was denied the ruling solidified Jennifer’s fate leaving her to serve a life sentence in a correctional facility this case serves as a reminder that even

on the lives he destroyed next is the case of th ornsby which tells the tale of a Teenage triple murderer who tried to escape the consequences of his actions by claiming he was insane three people are dead including a 10 yold boy and state police are calling their deaths a homicide investigators say a relative found the bodies last night in a mobile home whether you ask people in the tiny arusa County Town of Amity or State Police around here the answer is the same they don’t think there’s ever been a triple homicide in this area on
June 22nd 2010 F Ormsby a teenage student from Ellsworth High School carried out a gruesome attack in AMD Maine at around 5:30 p.m. he entered the home of 55-year-old Jeffrey Ryan and began a rampage that resulted in the senseless murder of Jeffrey his 10-year-old son Jesse and a family friend Jason Dean who was 30 years old Jason and Jesse R into the back room so I chased Jesse and he was the quickest following the stabbing F flood the scene triggering a search that lasted several months in July 2010 he was arrested on a fugitive from Justice
charge in do New Hampshire after months of searching the police finally tracked him down and brought him to Justice F was extradited from New Hampshire to Maine where he was placed at the Aristo County Jail according to F he killed Jeffrey Ryan because he was convinced that the man was selling drugs he also revealed that he killed Jason Dean and jeffy’s young son because they were witnesses to the crime wearing a pinstrip d Ormsby had to wipe the tears from his eyes as his mother described the long way she says he has come after
a childhood of abuse and neglect th was charged with three counts of murder and one count of arson he pleaded not guilty at his arraignment however sever months later he entered a second plea Not Guilty by reason of insanity his 10-year-old son Jesse and Jason Dahan Ormsby did not shed a single tear for the murder of Jeffrey Ryan is my sad but solemn Duty in 2012 F now 21 found himself on trial at the Holton Superior Court the charges were serious three counts of murder and one count of arson however th’s defense team argued that he
was insane at the time of the triple homicide jurors ultimately rejected this defense and sentenced him to three life sentences and a sentence of 15 years for the arson conviction news that a teenager had committed such a heinous crime was met with widespread outrage and disbelief many people found it incomprehensible that someone so young could possess such extreme violence and disregard for human life life for the murder of Jesse Ryan it is my sad but solemn duty to sentence you to the life in ch B filed an appeal with the Maine
Supreme Court one year after his sentencing one of his primary claims was that the police violated his Fifth Amendment right when they interviewed him in July 2010 following the murders however in a unanimous ruling the Supreme Court dismissed his appeal stating that no mistakes were made in allowing th statements to be used during his trial and sentencing hearing the next case is the controversial case of sha sers a teenager who was executed despite committing murder at a young age I walk into a bedroom we disappeared
black underwear after doing a ritual that night and I shot them both in the head as they slipt in March 1986 a heinous crime shook the Oklahoma City Community when two people were killed in their own homes the victims Vonda bellat and her stepfather Lee bellat were gunned down in their sleep by one of their family members their 16-year-old son sha sellers to try and limit the amount of blood that would splatter onto his body Shawn brazenly shot Lee first dressed in nothing but his underwear the sound of the first shot woke up Vonda
who then found herself face to face with her killer Shawn pulled the trigger ending her life with a single shot to her face after committing these heinous crimes Shawn attempted to Stage the crime scene to make it appear that an intruder broke into the house and killed his parents however the detectives were smarter than Shawn and quickly debunked his elaborate ruse he was arrested for the murder of his mother Vonda and stepfather Lee so we began to prove our allegiance to Satan by breaking God’s Commandments and in the end there was
only one that remained unbroken Shawn confessed to the police that he had also murdered Robert Paul Bower a 32-year-old cashier from cirle K who refused to sell him beer in 1985 this shocking Revelation added another chilling chapter to Shawn’s already disturbing story during Shawn’s trial he claimed that he suffered from demonic possession and that forces Beyond his control drove his actions you shall not murder so in the Satanic Bible the copy I had I think they have um edited that out of it since then but the copy that I
had Sean sers argued that he had read Anton LA’s the satanic Bible several times between the ages of 15 and 16 and it was during this time that he committed the murders of Robert Bowers and his parents his attorney also painted a different picture alleging that the fantasy game Dungeons and Dragons motivated his client to commit the three murders the defense argued that the game had warped Shawn’s mind and introduced him to dark violent themes that influenced his actions lonely jail sell on death row Shawn began to see and experience the love and
forgiveness of God he started to cry the jury found Shawn guilty of all three murders and sentenced him to death in 1986 people expressed outrage and disbelief that a teenager could be given a sentence of death Shawn’s age being just a teen at the time of the crimes raised questions about the legal system’s ability to distinguish right from wrong when sentencing a minor many argued that Shawn’s young age should weigh heavily in his favor as he was still developing mentally and had not yet reached full maturity despite his
efforts to secure an appeal Shaun’s fate was ultimately sealed he was executed by lethal injection on February 4th 1999 in his final moments Shawn requested a simple meal egg rolls and shrimp now we turn to another disturbing case this time involving Rachel scha whose motive was far more personal and chilling I’m so sorry I don’t know if there’s a proper way to make this apology because there are not even words to describe the guilt and remorse but I feel each day for what I’ve done this is Rachel cha and she’s
charged with the murder of SK niece when she was only 16 years old on July 6th 2012 16-year-old Skyler nie disappeared from her home in Star City West Virginia and was not found until January 16th 2013 unfortunately only n’s body was found with the help of one of the murderers Rachel scha the other person who was charged with the murder of nce was Sheila Eddie cha and Eddie were friends with niece until their friendship turned sour according to Cha’s confessions the motive for murdering niece was is that they didn’t
like her and didn’t want to be friends with her anymore the surveillance of the apartment where nie lived showed that nie left her home at 12:30 a.m. through her window and entered into a sedan with cha and Eddie that was the last time anyone besides cha and Eddie saw niece alive because of this niece was first treated as a runaway until the police discovered that the sedan on the surveillance belonged to Eddie Rachel and Sheila drove around Star City and in the area preparing themselves they had concealed knives on their bodies that
had been wrapped in towels by Sheila Eddie and they took that shovel with them and they arrived at Skylar’s Home and told her they were waiting for her they were waiting to kill her when cha Fetti were questioned they said they had hung out with niece but dropped her off at home an hour after they left at this point niece hadn’t been found however on January 3rd 2013 Rachel cha suddenly admitted that she and Eddie had plotted to kill niece she also LED them to where they left niece Skyler nie had been stabbed to death almost 30 Mi away from
her home before cha and Eddie dumped her body and covered it up with branches it was not until years later that show finally gave the real motive behind the murder according to her she and Eddie had been in a romantic relationship and niece caused tension between the couple leading them to get rid of her I’m so sorry I don’t know if there’s a proper way to make this apology because there are not even words to describe the guilt and remorse that I feel each day for what I’ve done sha pled guilty to Second deegree murder in exchange for
cooperating with the authorities to find her victim in court she apologized for her actions and showed remorse for what she did she was teary as she apologized to n’s family and her parents eventually it was time for sentencing it is a sentence of the court that you’d be imprisoned in the West Virginia state penitentiary for a period of 30 years Rachel scha was sentenced to 30 years in prison with the possibility of parole after 10 years on May 9th 2023 scha became eligible for parole and bid for it she was denied parole and remains in
custody cha and Eddie murdered nce because of romantic tension but how does it compare to murdering one’s grandparents for no apparent reason as Johnny Ryder and Cassandra Borg did all right Miss Borg you are charged with two felony warrants for murder two felony warrants for aggravated assault on April 8th 2017 Gwinnet County Georgia experienced the shocking and brutal double murders of 63-year-old Randall and Wendy bjor the two were grandparents to 17-year-old Cassandra Borg they had gotten legal custody because she had

as Johnny Ryder and Cassandra Borg the two of them had attacked Johnny’s sister and her boyfriend with a baseball bat and pepper spray before escaping the car they used to escape belonged to Wendy and Randall and this led the police to force their way into the home as they expected the worst to their horror they found the bodies of Wendy and Randall the two of them had been stabbed multiple times their autopsies showed that they had suffered blunt force to the head and various Cuts around their throats everyone was horrified that
something like that had happened in their Community Cassie and Johnny became the main suspects in the case and a day after the borgs were found their granddaughter and her boyfriend were found after they barricaded themselves inside an apartment they refused to come out and by the time the SWAT team was able to get a visual they found out that the teens were injured in the bathroom as they had tried to commit suicide they failed at this attempt and were taken to the hospital the two of them were charged with the murders of Cassie’s
grandparents the interrogation revealed some shocking details that showed that the murder had been premeditated seems that you’re sorry you got caught that you had people over after you don’t seem to be sorry that you killed your grandparents Cassie told the police that they had planned to murder her grandparents and keep their bodies from being discovered according to Cassandra she and Johnny waited until her grandparents were asleep before entering their bedroom duct taping and attacking them the murder weapons included a tire
iron a baseball bat a hammer and butcher knives the two of them beat and stabbed the borgs to death what’s even more horrific is that after the murders Cassandra sealed the windows and doors with [ __ ] to keep the smell of the decomposing bodies from coming out and then we came back to the house when you guys left where’ you guys go to we went over to like Kroger the Publix to go something to eat and then we went back to the house and we just kind of like chilled there which which one it was like on Old Peach Tree Johnny and Cassie
then ordered takeout and invited their friends to the house for a party she also said that they smoked a lot of weed to mask the smell of the bodies as they were in the house for more than a week things like just seemed different they didn’t look at me the same anymore like they didn’t I don’t know it was it’s like their the vibe that they have was like they didn’t really know what to do they didn’t really know like how to be around me I guess they didn’t really know how like how to talk to me the motive for the murder was shocking

Gavin’s mother his stepfather and his two younger brothers all five of them had been in the house because of covid-19 curfews and restrictions according to Gavin the pressure in the house was overbearing because his parents were strict and had too many rules on everything ranging from food to screen time Gavin decided to murder his parents after they forbade him from seeing his 17-year-old girl girlriend Rebecca Walker Gavin Smith waited until his family was asleep before he shot his parents and 12-year-old brother in the

actions because what he did was evil judge Kenneth Ballard also said that the only reason he was sentencing Gavin with Mercy was because Smith had committed the murders as a minored your mother and stepfather by shooting them in the head while they were asleep then you executed your two brothers by shooting them in the head youngest which was hiding under his crib your actions can only be described as an act of pure evil evil eventually Smith was sentenced to three life senten es for the first-degree murder of his mother stepfather and
3-year-old brother 40 years for the murder of his 12-year-old brother and 10 years for the use of a firearm Gavin will be eligible for parole after 15 years but he may never be granted as shocking as Gavin’s case is it pales in comparison to the unsettling and calculated nature of Carly Madison’s Story where teenage rebellion turned into coldblooded murder and she was having a mental health crisis she doesn’t know what was going on at that time we we’re asking you to find her Not Guilty by reason of insanity prosecutors
