She’s guilty 💯
Guilty on all charges
Guilty
I think she is guilty, but so is Danny!!!! HOW COULD HE NOT BE A PART OF THAT BABY'S DEATH!?! He was mad, frustrated, home alone with him during the time she was gone the first time. He was the one that sent the text to the babysitter even. He knew for sure what all was going on, and I wouldn't be surprised if he did whatever happened and then she was so young and dumb that she took the full fall. I just want to see anyone that was part of this held accountable!!!! He is far from innocent. I am over people painting him as an innocent saint while he sat and did drugs all the time, even that night. For all we know, Quinton maybe got into his stuff while they were arguing. And she was out running around for him. I am not trying to defend her, I am saying she is guilty, but she is not the only one!!!!
She is GUILTY, Billy Jo is also Guilty/culpable
It really got me when she said he had "80 years left to live". I flashed from him as a precious baby to him as an old man, a grandpa, a father, a husband, someone who had the opportunity to live his life.
My dad is 88 years old. She took everything from Quinton.
I believe in life after death. He will have every blessing restored to him. God bless his little soul.
Me too! I did the very same!😭
Me too! I had a child pass when he was 6 weeks old of SIDS. 3months later I was pregnant again. I think a part of Will came back in Christopher. He started smiling right away. Will had just started smiling when he passed.
What you said made me cry. What a beautiful message. ❤
If he’s living his best life beyond or he comes back to us in a new body, I hope he gets to be born to a loving, doting, wonderful mother who will spare no moment or expense for her perfect baby. Quinton was BEAUTIFUL
What I think every time I see babies today is those people will most likely see the year 2100. And like you mentioned 80 years taken. No telling what that little boy would go on to do.
Incredible closing by the State. 💙
❤
Justice for Sweet precious Quinton 🛐⚖️💙🕯🌸☦️😇🕊
Amen,🙏🙏
Asst. district attorney said what we are all thinking. She’s bad asss. She definitely proved her point. Leilani looked shocked 😆 Justice is coming for you Leilani!! ⚖️🚔
🤍🕊️JUSTICE FOR QUINTON🤍🕊️
Yes, agree with you
Justice for Quinton
I hope the jury comes back tomorrow and finds that monster guilty
❤
Me too!
I watched the closing statements.. and after serving on a jury ,
I know you can only look at the facts of the case, not your feelings .
She probably did it, but idk if the prosecution truly proved it “beyond a reasonable doubt”. which they must prove.
If I hadn’t served on a jury trial, i probably wouldn’t make this statement . It’s just different when you are in the jury box.
They will
I have served on a jury also. I say Guilty as far as I served. I pray she does not get to raise the other kids.
I just watched Danny’s testimony and I must say, I have a lot of respect for Danny for many reasons.
Danny was taking care of the children. Cooking, cleaning and getting up to get the children to the babysitter as a functioning addict.
Addiction is an illness but never an excuse to neglect children.
How Danny was able to hold it all together while in addiction shows where his heart is, with the children
He never hesitated to work with LEO to get baby Quentin justice.
I hope he’s doing well 😊
💞💞💞💞💞
Completely agree. Her lawyer did a terrible job trying to villainize him. I was thinking how there are a lot of functioning addicts who don't abuse their kids, etc.
100% this, I remember when this first happened tons of people were dragging and pointing fingers at Danny in local FB groups, his character was assasinated and i hope he receives reconciliation, and the rest of his life is nothing but happiness and progress
@@belleslettres354 there really is no such thing as a functioning addict or alcoholic but regardless just cause ur an addict does not mean u hurt ur kids
I couldn’t imagine having to defend this piece of 🗑️
I couldn't help but wonder if that's why they called for polling of the jury. Just to let her hear 24 times that they thought she was guilty!
Not enough money to take care of the children but there was enough money for drugs? What the heck?
She lost custody of all 3 think 2 years ago, her mother had custody ,but they let Leilani live there, with the kids, that just got taken away. She need to be charged also,imo.
It's all about "my pri-or-i-ties"
@@karenmassey6295 Yes, I agree with you! At the very least she should be fined; she had NO business leaving those little boys with the unfit mother when she was their guardian.
Every man she went with she had a baby.
Yeah… we have the same people running the country… plenty of $$ for weapons & wars but nothing to help the veterans or elderly homeless population🙄🙄. I completely agree with you. I’m poor. I have 1 child ONE. All my resources go to that one child.
Not only did she not like quinton,she didnt like the people who DID LOVE QUINTON!She wanted to get back at Danny,her parents,the babysitters ..etc!She was also trying to punish them,by taking him away from them!
Immature child having children!!
DIABOLICAL AND EVIL AND SELFISH
Saying her child Zane was her 'ride or die' etc., he'd been through things with her... absolutely ridiculous. He was a 3 year old toddler! How horrible for little Quinton, being rejected by his mother bc she hated the father!! 😮 The tears I cried and the pain I felt for that baby boy...why not give the children to a family that wanted him? At least he had some joy being with the babysitters, who truly loved him. May he rest in peace. May God have mercy on her soul.
RIP beautiful boy
He was absolutely adorable when I seen his photo I cried hystericaly😥 fly high with all the baby angels sweet boy💫💙💖
Guilty
Excellent speech. That monster does not care one bit!
I still believe if her mom would've done what she promised the court & care & protect those boys, lil Quinton, would be alive today. 😢
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, I guess.
Her Mom should be in jail.
When everyone was looking for Quinten in the landfill her and her mother were out partying and flirting with waiters
Absolutely!!!!! The person tasked to protect Quinton failed miserably. She'll be cursed forever.
Did her mom ever testify? It’s just sad because somebody knows what happened in that house that night and they’re all protecting each other. Hope to God Quinton gets justice, but I can see it going differently.😢😢
I m praying they find her guilty on all charges.and that the jurors have a heart wanting justice served to the fullest foe this baby .
Justice for Quinton!
She did it. Every time I look at that picture of that sweet little kid in front of those red doors I tear up. He was just a little kid. He was just a sweet innocent little kid.
She disgusts me
I agree only shedding tears feeling sorry for herself
Same
@tammyfromtexas7503 what tears! She doesn't even have any for this precious angel baby 😢😢😢
GOD Bless this lady, she said it out plain speak for Leilani. Maybe Leilani will have a touch of shame and guilt thinking of this lady's last words for her. JUSTICE for Quinton Simon. Thank You to all of the authorities who pushed through helping Quinton have his time and to those who gave their service in any and every way, it mattered so much here. Thank You to the ones who love Quinton Simon. Rest In Peace little tiny, Quinton Simon. Bless You. x
@@sopranoano this bothers me so much … every time a child is tortured to death and then discarded … sure … justice for the child AFTER terrible death but what about their lives before … what can be done … ??? Soooo troubling on every level!!
@@hardwired8084 Same, it breaks my heart. All we all can do now is report things when and if we see it happening, even if we get shamed for reporting things. IF you see something, say something, they say, right? Nothing else so far. We have to love all of the children and watch out for them. x
JUSTICE FOR QUINTON!!!!!
I think of all the people in this world who can't have children, who desperately want to have a child. Who would love, cherish, nurture and educate a child. Keep them safe from all harm, go without so their child can live their best possible life. Then there is this creature.
Kinda makes the argument that pregnancy being a miracle isn't entirely factual
Crying because she’s possibly going to jail NOT for her baby!!! He’s in a better place now. 🕊️🙏🏼👼
She's not shed a tear. Dragging a dry tissue down your face is not crying
What a fiendish beast
Why didn't she turn Quintin over to his father's family to raise instead of abusing him and ending his life?
Possibly because she was getting child support; while using the funds for her selfish drug habits. 😭
@@ritasalazar8711 You're probably right about that.
As a former social worker in foster care I asked the same question everyday I went to work. Why not turn over the child to the father, they don’t.
From my professional experience, it’s usually dislike for the father so they purposely withhold the child, see themselves as the more fit parent, the father is sometimes unsuitable to begin with, they tend not to know who the father is, and they prefer keeping child support to themselves. Lastly, when women collect child support they’re typically on welfare.
That’s just my anecdotal observation
control.
@@AlexaLake7 Because,Quintons father didnt want anything to do with her after she became pregnant. Thats why she hated Quinton so much,because he looked identical to his father!Her mother wanted both Leilani and Danny out of her home.Also,it was about Leilani wanting attention off of Quinton's disappearance! That way,she could continue to hide and gaslight her own foolish behavior! Also,how dare anyone point out her behavior,after learning that her son was missing?
We love you, Quinton. You will never suffer again. In the arms of Jesus now.
Bless his innocent little heart ❤️
Fly high with the angels Quinton. I would have loved you. RIP beautiful baby boy
@@dianastone4480 me too … 🥹
Christ that woman is nasty. Shes got tissues in her hand and shes still doing that thing where she takes her hand and wipes her nose upwards 🤮
She's gross - that dumb face of hers, the blank eyes, porcine snout, and the way she sits with her feet a yard apart like an old grannie. Ugh! She's as sexy as an unflushed toilet. I'm amazed she found one man willing to impregnate her, never mind three! I'd be amazed if the jury takes longer than one hour out there - 2 minutes to agree she's guilty, and 58 minutes to drink coffee and discuss their plans for the weekend!
Yeah, that was so irritating to me.
she's piggish.
cokehead behavior
Leilani Simon is a true horror.
I find it mind-blowing that she said she didn't love Quinton because he looked so much like his father, but she must blind on top of evil because that baby was her spitting image.
You can love your children no matter how you feel about yourself. That's why it's unconditional love. She just isn't capable of it since it isn't all about her.
EXACTLY!!! I know that’s true. I hated myself. I actually did try to ☠️ 6 years ago. After I went to the hospital I found out I was expecting a child. It changed my whole life!! I really needed mental health help for my baby’s sake & I got it. I can’t understand these people who don’t care for children. I just can’t understand it at all 😢
It's absolutely brilliant close entire from State but the end from the female attorney brought it home!!!!
Beautiful Quinton❤we will miss you forever and ever sweet boy😇🎈🧸🇺🇲🫧 Justice for our sweet baby boy
Wow, that was a powerful rebuttal! Very well done👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Prosecutor is a savage 🎉
The 2 closing from the state were powerful. Im sure justice will be served.
I hope the judge gives her when the time comes the maximum
Not a single tear yet she wipes her face with a tissue.🤦♀️
Pathetic narcissist. Poor kids. RIP wee man.
She’ll cry when they find her guilty don’t worry
Such a beautiful child😢😮
Rip to this sweet boy. He’s so cute. He was still so little he deserved a good mom. I wish I could of taken him and shown him love. I pray the jury gets this right! Lock her up!!!
Constant blinking like Boone.. guilty blinks
Now they need to charge Billy Jo with child endangerment causing death, as she was in custody of them 3 kids, and they were not suppose to be in their druggo mothers care, if Billy Jo had taken her responsibility seriously that she agreed to with the court system, then Quinton would still be alive today, why agree to take full custody of ur 3 grankids only to leave them with the monster they were taken from😢
Facts & 💯 true!! She needs convicted as well
Guilty as hell. Shes a very cold person. She didn't give a shite about Quition.
Thank you - that’s a great closing because its all about the poor, defenseless baby
Casey Anthony 2.0
@@WalterJ-i9r ABSOLUTELY
@psychnursesophia after watching all of the proof in the Casey Anthony trial and she was aquitted, I pray this jury gets it right this time!!
@@Yadac2024there wasn’t as many surveillance cameras and ring door plus texting evidence available back then, if there would haven I believe Casey would be a jailed murder today.
Casey Anthony had a charismatic atty that that jury liked. He put on a Hella performance. That's how she got off. But Hilliard is not that atty. He is not likeable. At all. Jose Baez is the guy you want if u commit a horrible crime. Indeed.
That poor little boy, robbed of his life because his mother was a self absorbed witch. Just awful
Her parents must be really proud of her.
Her mom was bar hoping with her. Screaming at the baby sitter and protesters.
Excellent closing argument.
There are more than one case wher the mother says the woke up and "poof' their child was gone, yetthey called OTHERS BEFORE CALLING 911!! RED FLAG
No excuse for her to kill a little baby boy it was not his fault for her life. Life is the way you make it. And to kill an innocent baby for a man is insane. Put this monster in prison. Prayers for Quinton 🙏🙏
Both the ADA's did PHENOMENAL!! The rebuttal by the female ADA drove...it....home, man!! I look for Guilty verdict tomorrow- as it should be! This case just completely breaks my heart- I want little Quinton in my arms so bad...💔💙✝
She wipes her face but no tears… I don’t think she cares
Heartbreaking- he was soo cute. How did she not love him??????
Oh sweet little Quinton, I pray you were already safely in the arms of Angels when this putrid grub threw you in the trash,I hope with all my heart Justice prevails for you tomorrow baby boy.
Yea well according to the specific religion you're speaking from, Christianity I'm assuming? That boy IS in heaven as long as this neglectful mother bothered to hold a baptism or any version of a christening, as John baptized Jesus himself. But I guess YOU decide if he didn't HAVE to go through that to be in "arms of angels". Also, keep in mind, this woman, his mother, can ask the Lord of your Christianity, to forgive her. She can ask to take her in his arms and he'll forgive her, yes?? So chill. And stop claiming the virtues and overall representing Christianity if you're not going to do it correctly.
amen 🙏🏼
@acoasterbro
LIElani can ask Jesus for forgiveness, however, that doesn't absolve her of consequences.
As far as Quinton being baptized, he will not be held accountable for his mother's actions as he is under the age of concent. You need to chill..wow
@@acoasterbro baptism is not required for salvation. Believers should be baptized after they are saved, but it’s not necessary. The thief on the cross was not baptized. Babies don’t have to be saved or baptized. They are innocents. So this baby is absolutely in heaven.
Why were the children in Leilani's room when custody had been removed from her? A narcissist will use even their own children for attention
Billy Jo should be charged as well. Those babies should have NEVER been in her care
I bet child services didn't check on them at all.
So many women who want a child so desperately, and lately, so many mothers are murdering their babies. I have zero sympathy for this. I als feel BILLY JO should be sitting right next to Lelani, on trial!
I wish whoever is making all that noise into the speaker with a wrapper or something would stop. Seriously, you can't sit still and refrain from eating for 30 minutes to listen to the state's final closing arguments? WTF?
God i cant fanthom if he was alive in that dumpster she is evil
That was always my fear from the beginning 😭
I have been feeling the same yall.😢
Hopefully not because he'd have been screaming and there was a chance he'd have been heard and found. She didn't want that. She is evil personified 🤮
@@levithewonderdog335..I doubt she would chance throwing him away alive. She beat this sweet baby taking out all he anger and rage on him. She hasn't shed a tear while photos of his bones were shown. She drags a dry tissue down her face believing we cant see her face is bone dry. Lock her up for life.
What is with all the eye blinking?
Stress - she knows her fate
Excellent job from the prosecutor
What a despicable human being !!!!
I hope the jury finds her guilty on every single count
Great closing statement! She did a remarkable job showing what a despicable mother Leilani was. Praying for justice for this precious child❤
SHE IS GUILTY
Thank goodness they found wee Quintons remains
Both prosecutors gave great closing arguments.
We did not hear why the grandmother had custody and why she is not being charged
The state did an amazing job. Precious baby Q. is in heaven and he will never be harmed again. 💙💙
Justice for that beautiful baby boy….❤❤
Intense man - gripping _GUILTY
I think her M.O. is to keep men by having their babies. I say that, because she has nothing to offer long term. She doesn’t know how to keep a man outside of having a baby, knowing a relationship requires work and effort on her part.
Not excusing the men, but she’s the common denominator in all 3 relationships
The prosecuted did an amazing job with this closing.
I think she knew that ger boyfriend Danny was going to leave her it was just a matter of time .
Poor Danny. He only said he saw Quinton to originally help Leilani out. Maybe she threatened Danny with his living situation
This woman is trying cry, wiping her tearless face. Evil evil
I'm always thinking....throughout this trial....that Leilani sits there day after day without her best friend (COCAINE) comforting her now. I wouldn't call her "sober" by any stretch, but because the cocaine is no longer protecting her from who she REALLY is as a person she's listening, watching (videos of herself, text messages, other visible evidence being presented) and seeing for the first time in her life what her "problem" is...her problem is HERSELF. She is now confronted with her character defects, her lack of ethical and moral values, and no spiritual anchor whatsoever. That scowl, that pinched face look throughout the trial tells me she doesn't even recognize who she really is. She's saying to herself: "who are they talking about?" This is what happens: FIRST, you take the drug, then the drug takes YOU. (your sense of self, your dreams, your goals, your job, your money, your house, your CHILDREN (Quinton), your family, your friends, your conscience, your soul....and finally your LIFE.
nah, she's fundamentally garbage. cocaine (which is mostly meth when you're buying it like she did) didn't cause this. it exacerbated an already terrible impulsive personality at most. let's not give her a ready-made excuse. drug addiction is epidemic in this country yet there's no epidemic of drug addicts killing kids. this was fundamentally Leilani.
She is probably wiping sweat off her face,because there are absolutely no tears
Well she didn’t pull any punches. This was right on. Well done, counselor.
Since day 1 I knew she was guilty.
Watching the evidence caused me to be physically ill.
State proved without doubt she’s guilty.
Other two children were removed to foster care.
Eldest son is back with his father
A couple of people replied to me a few days back.. Telling me.. That Billie Joe Got Custody Again of Zane and The baby girl. I didn't watch everything. The commenters said.. Billie Joe Got Custody of Danny's daughter. I Keep 🙏.. They're wrong Billie Joe also has a Son in Prison, I think it is Also for Murder. Four kids, Two Murderers. Terrible Mom, Derelict of DUTY when She Was The person Legally responsible for Quinton and and Zane. Where is Billie Joe?
@@Mr6wolfdogmy understanding is that the daughter is in Texas with Danny, but that's just 5th-hand hearsay.
@@y2ksurvivor your correct Danny family has her
There are No Tears ‼️‼️‼️
Great close. She's a disgusting monster.
Think of how many women like me who could have taken and raised this baby like me. The baby I did take and tried to help just turned 55 years old . I wish Quinton could have had me.
She looks evil and guilty. Hope they put her away. People on drugs do not need children. Poor little boy. 😢
The prosecution is absolutely amazing. They put their all into getting justice for Quinton. Wish they could try all the child murder cases. They’re truly fabulous! I hope the jury finds Leilani guilty, she absolutely without a doubt is.💯
🤍🕊️JUSTICE FOR QUINTON🤍🕊️
Guilty verdict by 10am fri.
That’s something that always bothers me about this case. If something happened by accident she could have called 911 immediately. And even if it was too late at least everyone would know what happened. If she loved him she wouldn’t been straight about it. She decided to take him out with the garbage instead.
He looks so much like the mother, it’s so sad that this happened
Where has this lady attorney been the whole time.. she should have tried the case
Disgusting that Leilani's defence was going after Danny
He had his alcohol and drug issues, but Danny seemed to have genuinely cared for Quinton
Justice for Quinton 💙
Crying for herself, probably just tears from not having any control about this outcome. Sick individual, she detested everyone in that courtroom, again shes a victim.
Ooooof, it’s always something to see another woman fully call out and read a vile woman for what she is. This was next level though. 👌🏻 🤠 Kudos. I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity seeing the faces change.
Whiping off fake tears wth
This woman had money for drugs, drinks, hard drugs etc no excuse for what she did.
Having a tough time? Boo hoo, poor Quinten was murdered and dumped
Oh my she failed her son 😢
Not tears wao
I likeddddd this DA
just......incomprehansible
That's right, get her.
Ummm what about birth control? Horrible.
She used the kids to try to keep the men
