I appreciate all the feedback guys. I also completely understand the frustration with some of the lack of answers in this case. There are certain things that haven’t been disclosed yet that could have been responded to with such a statement rather than an “I don’t know”. Some details are remaining private for the dignity of Makayla while some also due to the ongoing investigation. Please keep the family in your prayers for 4/21 ❤

This lady should not have accepted to come on your show until she knew what she going to say.

"Teens are really skinny and want attention on social media." Are you serious???? We're talking about a girl who was raped. Why are we saying this about a victim on a video about her attack and death?

I don’t think I can get through this one unfortunately. The case is terrible in itself but the flow of the conversation is terrible and choppy and makes the whole thing worse.

Talking about a teenager that’s no longer here posting “thirst traps” because “they want attention” is absolutely horrifying and disgusting. I really hope her mother doesn’t see this video. I’m going to have to agree with every one else’s opinion on this one. 🙁

Not only her unprofessinalism, or her lack of real empathy, but her overall demeanor of narcissism makes her incredibly off-putting Annie.

I feel like she was so unprepared, didn’t know hardly any information.

This guest was unbelievably unprofessional and as a lawyer I'm deeply insulted. I can assure you we don't need any education from the likes of her. How embarrassing.
