I understand the murder verdict but the cruelty to a child charge…what’s more cruel than throwing your child away like trash?
The worst thing is she feel zero remorse for killing her son.
She never wanted him that's why she never showed remorse. Poor child
How could the jury get this so wrong??? This is horrific! His father NEVER had a chance with him? Disgusting!!!
Well, just look who’s surrounding the father at the hearing. Same ol’e ideology pasty faces that run the corrupt criminal justice system.🤷🏼
My heart goes out to the dad. I pray he can fully heal now. ❤ Ms Ava.....well done Queen👑
They should have hit her with every misdemeanor possible like fraud for the false child support claim, criminal trespass for going into those woods to commit the crime of concealing a body, even if those crimes were only punishable by 1-2yrs each. They could have ran them consecutively and tacked on another at least 5yrs.
Idk how she got away. Those jurors should be interviewed.
The jurors were interviewed, they got it all wrong , go look it up and come back and tell me what you think.
Casey Anthony Jury vibes 🤬...it's like did we even watch and hear the same things!!! Crazy
They want to keep the community bad.
She should have gotten life, the jury got it wrong! I was afraid the Judge was going to be weak on her sentencing but I was wrong, thanl goodness!
It's such a tragedy the Mother couldn't love William like the family & friends did. She left him to die alone & went on to have a life. A life she denied her son. 10yrs is a light sentence!
A life of freedom she did not deserve.
So isn't she a dead beat?
@@JayJayTX She only got 10 years?!!!!!
That baby was given a life sentence why not her. She deserved to give up her ĺife for taking his.😢
Before she finally got caught after 23+ years of freedom 😢 @SirSmorbie
Ava is my Hero, she never gave up on that little boy! She truly loved him!
Thank you judge for doing what the jury couldn’t.
She absolutely did all she could and no doubt wishes she could do more. The Jury really messed this one up.
The jury FD THIS UP! You can tell the judge was upset as well
The fact he had a fractured skull & Tylenol in his system makes me believe she was abusing him ., she hit him to hard that particular time & he was sobbing continuously in pain so she gave him Tylenol for the pain not knowing she fractured his skull .. he eventually went to sleep and didn’t wake up because that’s wat happen when you don’t get medical attention.. the only reason why her other kids wasn’t done that way is because she probably scared herself so bad with that situation she probably was scared to ever do that again … she thought she got away but God sits high .. she was never getting away with that !
AMEN 🙏
She was definitely guilty of more. The jury failed on this one. She left that child to rot a way and concealed and lied for years. That was very nice of Ava.
Yes, I agree, TB got off way too easy!
I agree that she was guilty for more but I disagree about the jury getting it wrong. The evidence wasn't strong enough for the charges. In my opinion they should have tried for manslaughter which still would have been difficult to get a conviction on under the circumstances but more likely than capital murder.
@@alyrica0505 I can’t remember off hand. I’ll go back later. But what she was charged with, it was one other that they said not guilty but she clearly was. “I didn’t want to leave your comment hanging.” She concealed and covered up his death.
@@kiajohnson1861 thanks for the reply! I couldn't remember all of the charges either. I still believe that the evidence wasn't sufficient which is sad because there is no doubt (in my mind) that at the very least her neglect caused his death. Poor little William.
I know the evidence just wasn’t quite there, partly because of Teresa concealing the body, but also because the prosecution, especially the African American lady, was terrible! She couldn’t formulate her sentences worth a damn! The time when she was questioning her own witness(Dr. Jackson), she couldn’t even properly ask her question! She tried 3 times, each time having to go back to the lead prosecutor to ask her how to phrase her question. On the 3rd try she still got it wrong and the lead prosecutor had to ask the Judge if she could take over the questioning. 🤦🏾♀️ The only saving grace was that the prosecution was proffering the expert witness’s testimony, therefore the jury wasn’t present!
Also, let’s not forget the fact that two of the prosecution’s expert witness’s testimonies were in opposition! I mean, how can you have two of your expert witnesses NOT in agreement with one another?!? 🤦🏾♀️
I couldn’t believe it! I won’t go into what the testimony was about, I’ll just say it had to do with the manner in which it’s acceptable to collect certain information, in order to obtain a correct dosage level, which had to do with the toxicology level of acetaminophen/diphenhydramine in William’s decomposing bone tissue versus the blood that was no longer there.
Long story short….the prosecutors should have been better! 👩🏻💼👩🏾💼🫣
She should have been charged with at least manslaughter. She knows she had something to do with his death that is why she left him in the woods and never told anyone. The fact that she was able to do everything for her daughter speaks volumes about how she felt about William. To go 20 plus years and not look back she is a cruel monster. Should be serving a life sentence.
Maybe the detectives fumbled here. What I mean is the victim was found 6 months later but it took "20 years" to figure out who the victim is. IMO DNA testing existed 20 years ago and could have helped the DA file charges against the mother 20 years ago. That would have blocked this trial from happening in 2024 because she would have been convicted 20 years ago
😢
@@cjking4511they didn’t have genetic dna databases available to find or identify Jane & John does. They’ve only been doing this the past 5 years & took years to be able to link genetic data in multiple databases. If the dna isn’t in the system due to not having criminals in the family that has shared their DNA via the court system, there wasn’t any way to determine or have the money to pay for such advanced testing. The first person found &
Charged in this manner was the golden gate killer who was a retired cop. When he was found, she knew it, she should or could have come forward any time during those years, yet nobody knew William where she moved to.
Was the jury high??? I'm appauled at our justice system!
Our justice system is extremely sad it's really a disgrace!!!!!
You said was the jury high??? hahahahahaha! Yeah!
The judge sentenced her as many years possible for that BS charge. Couldn't the judge overturn that verdict?
I felt the pain from the dad kept touching his heart when he said I thought he hated me may god give him a good bed in heaven
She denied him of his father.
It’s a shame a friend had more love and compassion for William than his so called mother 😢😢😢😢😮 if she felt guilty she wouldn’t have had additional kids as it would be too painful after what she did to her first born!
Im so glad that this child was never forgotten. I myself often thought of him since I learned of his remains being found. I gave birth a few months after he was discovered to my first child. How could a mother be so cruel.
So Sad!!
She killed someone when she was 16? And then killed her son when she was 21? And then sued for child support for her dead son??? How does the defense attorney say she's an exemplary member of society - does he mean that society has hit such a low that she is a beacon of virtue?
She knew what to do to beat the system
Hopefully she don’t make it in jail
@@tikatikatikatika3066 God will have the last word. As a human myself, she must have been a very troubled teen,
She’s evil and vile!
She not going to make it out of jail
Poor little one! What a heartbreaking thing to be abused and left in the woods to die. Murdered by his own mother!
I am blessed to be a mother to our 16-year-old son, and I would give my own life for my son's well being.
My heart goes out to the father...he was ROBBED of the chance to watch his boy grow up and be a man.
I am SO sorry for your loss sir!!!
My sincere condolences to the grandmother too!!!
She gave birth...obvious not a mother. That is a high honor to have. I hv not heard of this story...but she could hv given him up. What was her mental state. We must choose our mates better. She lived her life for 20yrs. God Bless this family
I pray she ask them for what ever, forgiveness. God is
I’m so sorry for your loss I’ve my 27 years old daughter life taken in 2022 by a looser she didn’t want to be with him. My 12,7,3 years old lost their mother and she was pregnant by her boyfriend. It has been a year we are in 2024 and I’m still so heartbroken and I miss her so much I supposed to see her two days after Christmas 😢😢😢😢
I would have given my life in exchange for my daughter’s life in a heartbeat my grandson’s are separated unfortunately different dads that’s not the point.That didn’t supposed to happen.We was anticipating on the birth of my 4th grandson. The dude just was picked up after a year on a warrant arrest DUI manslaughter (what is that) my family and I know but it has to be proven by law. I’m praying constantly day in day out for his charges to be upgraded as he deserves to be locked up. My condolences to you Sir and the family 🙏💜😢
I'm so sorry for your loss Ava, Ava's family and William's father. I can't imagine what this mother has done to her baby..
Her family and friends reflected her guilt back at her in a way that the jury could not.
This is why family court need stop protecting the abuser mother if the farther is willing to be in their child life then it show that the farther is right fit it clearly show that this monster wasn’t fit to raise that baby
Williams dad wasn’t really there he was in prison. But his family was
Happened to me and they gave mom counseling so she can go back to her.
DID YOU HEAR WHAT HE SAID ?@@stayhydrated8321
She deserves more than 10 years. They should've added more charges. 😢 Verdict does NOT fit the crime. Sad.😢😢😢 Rest In Peace Lil William🙏🏽🌞💨💦🌺🔥🌈😇⭐️💞💞💞💞💞
Since she didn't want him she should have just let the Dad get him.....😢
Why was 10 yrs all the judge could give her? I can't believe that. You can kill your child and dispose of him like trash and only get 10 years for doing it. That needs to be changed.
Your right but i doubt she makes it pass a year. Sorry not sorry
Perfectly Said. Both of you. Too Sad so unnecessary. Ten years is not enough. This is so unnecessary.
She was only found guilty of concealing a corpse. Not murder.
Ill never understand how a parent can do this to their child. Especially a woman, they çarry this lil one for nine months, and then do this. Smh
I don't understand how the jury came back with not guilty....so sad
Very sad 😢 but that's our great justice system.
THEY OBVIOUSLY PICKED THE WRONG PEOPLE TO SIT ON THAT JURY. THEY DID NOT DO JUSTICE TO THE MEMORY OF THIS PRECIOUS SOUL AT ALL. BUT THANK GOD FOR THE HANDFUL OF FOLK WHO DID CARE ABOUT WILLIAM AND DID THE RIGHT THING.
REST IN PEACE, LITTLE ONE...NO MORE HURT...NO MORE PAIN❤
I'm glad she was given the max. That poor little boy not allowed to experience the love of family and friends and to have a to live with a mother that didn't care. People that loved wanted him and she denied him a happy life.
Jury got it wrong
Mr. William Sr., said it raw and real, from deep in his heart! 3:12
Im glad the judge seen through her . I only wish it could have have been more time.
R.I.P. Sweet William
Wow, what a magnificent lawyer she has! "She moved on" " She is exemplary". Wow! Just wow.
She didn’t want him and didn’t want anyone else to have him this is so sad it’s so many missing pieces like why did she take the father to court for child support knowing what she did? Shes Not a good person nor is she a wonderful mom she lied and lied and still No one knows what happened to that little boy 💔
Sounds like she is an evil and wicked B who deserves to be in Hell. Hope she meets Satan soon.
My condolences there are no words... 🙏💜🙏
10 years???? That's all that little boy's life is worth????
In a corrupt society and vile politicians a life is only worth its color. 🤷🏼
Ten years that's it? She lived her life like nothing happened and yet this is the sentence. Wow.
Poor baby. This is absolutely heartbreaking. May that beautiful little boy rest with God. Praying for the family of William Deshaun Hamilton.
If she really felt quilt, should would have turned herself in a long time ago. I will never know how a mom could be so cruel to a child and treat another child like a princess. I think 10 years is a disgrace to William.
Give her the max that will be for William God Bless William
Such an sad thing for any parent to leave their child to die this way my God have his way with her
I sure hope her attorney’s didn’t believe that lie she was telling. They represented her based off her lies. Her so called story is so unbelievable
They knew she was lying. Why do you think lawyers get such a bad rep?😅
I'm a spiritual reader. William was a very special little boy. His birth mother was so jealous of his light. So angry at his father. William knew from the 1st time that he saw Ms. Ava that she was his angel. They recognized each other from before.They have a connection that surpasses this life. That was not their 1st encounter. And it will not be their last. Ms. Ava you will see William again. William has been around you and he was the one pushing you. William has looked out for you many times and I know you know it. Always celebrate his birthday as you have. That's so important. Never stop. He's a little watchful guardian. And you are his mother.
❤
Well said and beautiful sentiments
🌹
@@Anonymous-pg2lr Thank you love
She killed him😢 from her demeanor 😢 rip to him💜💜💜
RIP lil Willliam
God bless his heart😭🥺🙏🏾
She killed someone (her abusive boyfriend) at an early age of 16, went to prison for 14 months,
She allegedly killed her child William @ the age of 21, she tried to get child support from the dad, when she knew that baby was already deceased. If Teresa had a college fund for her daughter, why do she need a public defender? Teresa… you know the prison community doesn’t like anyone that has ruined a child’s life! Ten years isn’t enough time …. RIP LITTLE WILLIAM….
he wasnt 21 when she killed him
@@jackeejennings6703no, she was.
Not enough time. Why are we giving such light sentences for killing children.
God will handle 🙏 the rest!!
Amen✝️🛐🕊️🙏❤️🦋🕊️
I do t think she should appeal she should count her blessing and do everyday of that 10 year sentence she got a slap on a wrist for a horrific deed!
10 yrs this is insanity 😒😒
Ms. Ava got it going on!! She loved that little boy. She was his angel and now he is hers!!!
The jury can only go by the evidence they are given. They are not privy to everything so that’s why the D.A. and defense attorneys have to fight to keep certain things out and include crucial things lawful to the case.
That's Definitely The Truth. She Is The Only One Who Knows What Really Went Down!
EITHER SHE WILL GIVE AN ACCOUNT DOWN HERE OR SHE WILL GIVE AN ACCOUNT BEFORE GOD, BUT REST ASSURED, SHE WILL GIVE AN ACCOUNT.
Horrible!! Just found this and I’m heartbroken.
Thank you for the 10 years.
So.sad poor William
There's no shame, guilt, or moving on. She got caught.
I think she should have received 20 years for murder. She left over twenty years go without talking to authorities. Clearly she was trying to conceal HER crime. She is the only one responsible and I think she is a finger pointer at everyone else being guilty and she is the poor victim. She does not own her actions on this crime or any other crimes she has committed. Awful case!
I agree about the portrayal as a poor victim, especially when you consider that she tried to file for child support knowing that he was dead.
I thank she should get LIFE.
She gets 14 yrs in total for taking the lives of 2 seperate people. What a smack in the face to those families. But this Judge gave her the Max of what was allowed! I don’t see her getting released early!
You're wrong. She'll do 5 years.
Thank you.
I hope she goes to gen pop
😂 yeah right they gone whoop that assz DAILY
Yes plz let her go to gen pop
She moved on with her life, but William didn't get that chance. She is lucky it's only 10 years and not life for murder.
She will get prison justice!!!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
My question after all of these years after murdering a child and don't get caught until later down the years . How can you live for yourself. No heart no conscience
It looked like she got away but she truly didn't, she will reap what she sow, what in the dark will come to light, my prayer is that the child be vindicated even though he is no.longer here, may she see him every time she closes her eyes that she will see him how it was in the last day of his life, it doesn't matter how old she was when she had him, THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR WHAT SHE DID
She should have gotten life in prison, without the possibility of parole!! So sad!!!
I was horrified by the verdict, but even 2 of the state’s experts couldn’t agree whether the drug levels were toxic. My degree is in chemistry and to me it was so logical. I can’t understand why the state thought it was a good idea to put them both on. What kind of message did it send to the jury? So I’m not surprised at the verdict. Frustrated, disappointed and furious, but not surprised
Prior manslaughter convictions????????
????? WHERE DO THEY SWEAR IN A GRIEVING FAM MEMBER GIVING AN IMPACT STATEMENT...THAT IS PURE BS!
Judge you are giving her such a light sentence, WHY
Man defence lawyers are savage 😂
He was struggling to believe his own lies! Shame on them! 😡😡
So they think she the reason he died but didn't do it
They think she did. But couldn’t prove it
She was able to go on with her life and have another child , work a good job enjoy nice things … I do not feel sorry for her at all..!!! 10 years wasn’t enough to be honest, not to mention animals was in the woods
How’d she think this was going to go? They’d just forget about him?
10 years Is Absolutely Nothing For What This Monster Did 🤦🏼♀️🤬🤬🤬
How can you defend someone that disposed of their own child he’s a coward and a disgusting person for representing her and referring to her as if she’s a good person smh how did she even get away with this man rest well young man🙏🏾
That poor wee soul left in woodds
She's moved on but nobody has and they all loved him so why not give him to his father ❤
What kind of a woman do this to her child?? She’s a monster!!
The jury failed little William, so disgusting.
Dam!!! That's it 10years and she only gonna do a few more years before she's let out
This is so embarrassing. The kid did not have a chance.
Sooooo sad!!!!!!
How could ANY MOTHER kill their Child? It's just unnatural to me. She deserves a very harsh sentence.
She should of got life, she hurt him that bad that's why she didn't take him to a hospital, just dumped his body in the woods.😢😢
10 years?! What the what? How did the judge accept that? 10 years is nothing!
Thank you, it very a strange, very bad problem.😮
He lying nothing impacted him. He high right now. Cut it out.
Exactly!!! High as a damn kite!!!! He look like a drug addict or a drunk. Grown men don't talk like that. And how u not see your child in YEARS .I would've made a trip there. He didn't care about that poor child. They only act like they care when things like this happen. Always gotta use the excuse..SHE WONT LET ME SEE MY CHILD..GTFOH
There were so so many other people that would have taken care of him….🤬
God bless the grandmother Ms Hamilton...she is heart brokenm
😢😢😢. I'm at a loss for words May God's little Angel R I H 🙏🙏
The judge used the word appalling. Judge your sentence is APPALLING!
So sad 😢
Sad
So Exactly How did She Say Williams Died/ Passed Away???
I swear she was on judge mariyln milian the peoples court tmyears ago for doing someones hair wrong lol
That Poor Grandmother at the End……She can’t EAT, Sleep, and is under A psychologist over This…..Her Question is WHY to
This Woman……But she will NEVER get any of this from that Woman so I Hope that psychologist will be able to Pull her thru….
HOW YOU KNOW HE WAS KILLED BEFORE BEING DROPPED IN THE WOODS, 20 YEARS LATER????
How did she manage that for decades?
What ìs this about? I just tune in.please tell me.
Has she really held onto the guilt, shame and regret from ANYTHING?
