If she’s purposely crushing her car to kill her boyfriend while she was pregnant, she really isn’t fit to care for a baby! That baby needs to be removed from her care immediately.

If he didn’t wake up from that coma, she would have gotten away. He came back to get justice for his soul.

I used to know Leigha personally, and seeing this story made my stomach drop. She was always toxic, controlling, and cruel. I saw the way she treated people, and it still haunts me. I cut ties a long time ago because she made everyone around her miserable. It breaks my heart that someone lost their life in all this, but I can’t say I’m shocked after what I witnessed. Sometimes you don’t realize how dangerous someone is until it’s too late. My heart goes out to his family.
