I hope they don't go easy on her because she's a wealthy white female.
It's a horrible case, but the verdict isn't too surprising.

Three courtroom snapshots into this editorial, and I'm already struggling to imagine someone more visibly qualified to captain their school's Meth team.

She is a troubled person. She needs help, not the scorn of strangers.

She drove someone to kill themselves, that doesn't sit well with me.
Tbh everyone deserves forgiveness I have done something similar in my life so kind of understand it
Should've been a much heavier sentence in my eyes.
