      I don’t understand why the prosecutor only wants Ruby to do four years. The amount of time she does should be up to her children.

      I just can't pass through this. Knowing that these filth got their verdict & punishment, when is Kevin, the father charged? If he insist that he hasn't seen any of his children, yet have contact with his wife, he should still be charge for neglect. Remember, he wanted to get his oldest daughter arrested for accusing her of stealing things in Ruby's house, that to me is a Redflag of just how ridiculous this guy is.

    He doesn't ask for "help". He asks for two "favors" and then reduces it to just one "favor". "Favor" instead of "help" shows he's aware he's asking for something without being able to offer anything in return. He's been taught not to expect anything without it being transactional. How very sad. This breaks my heart.

      My stepmother starved my sister and me. I was eating boxes of cake mix from the basement that were so old they had bugs in it and then hiding the empty boxes behind the paneling on the wall. Years and years later, my dad removed the paneling and casually mentioned finding them. I told him AGAIN why and he didn't bat an eye and never mentioned it again. Like it never happened.

    Kids don’t ask to fuking be here. To treat a child any way than without love is crazy to me. Poor kids are probably confused half the time about why they’re being treated that way.

      I was just thinking that. She thinks she’s STILL the most intelligent & most powerful and best person in the room - Absolutely revolting.

      Her arrogant blinking infuriated me. Hopefully she’ll be treated poorly in prison.

    Jodi and Ruby never had remorse. THEY'RE INCAPABLE! Even after Ruby's annoying, high-pitched "apology," I wasn't convinced. But the footage of Ruby's questioning proves everything! She was never brain washed, she just doesn't love her kids. All that Jodi did was give her the opportunity to take her abuse farther and incorporate ideas.
