The verdict is crazy. She flat out murdered a woman with an axe and got to walk free. She left children and a baby without a mother. Sick woman.

I remember when it happened. In my opinion, she got away with murder. She felt rejected. She's most certainly the last person who should be counseling teenagers. That's a scary damn thought.

Betty didn’t know about the affair, Candy couldn’t accept the rejection, she was outraged, angry and full of hate .

Candy should have at the very least been charged with child endangerment for the baby being left unattended for hours on end it’s ridiculous!

Once a person is unconscious, and the violence keeps on, it is no longer self defense.
