What is this world coming to?!
A mother loading groceries in the car and a maniac runs up and stabs her precious little son to death!
Capital punishment, nothing less. JMO
But in reality, this case will take years to reach a resolution with the psychiatrists on board.

As the judge read through the indictment, Ellis appeared to smile at times before ultimately pleading not guilty to the charges.

She walked through the supermarket for 30 minutes waving the knife around and nobody stopped her! She followed the mother and child and when they exited the store began the attack.
Where was the store security?! We have armed guards now in many of our stores here in the L.A. area.

Hard to believe no one called the cops on her. She clearly has mental health issues, as demonstrated by her giggling during her arraignment and refusing to answer the judge.

The judge set bail as high as she could -- $5 million dollars. The father of the slain child's statement is heartbreaking.

 

[JoeFromLB]

She won't do well in prison, if she even gets there. The resolution of this case might be indefinite confinement in a mental ward, after 5-7 years of motions, hearings, and other assorted court delays. JMO, but in a just world someone like this would be taken out and shot forthwith. /rant off

Yes, even though she smirked and laughed during significant portions of the arraignment, it will take years. Sadly, some so called experts just can't grasp that sometimes people kill because they choose to, not because they are legally insane at the time. amoo

That poor boy and his family. He loved dinosaurs and was crazy about his new baby sister. I'll put imoo because I read many articles early on, and I can't locate that source.

aimoo, she stole the knife from a store nearby and followed behind this Mom and her precious boy as they went into the grocery store. She watched them walk out, and then she attacked. That seems very methodical, requiring planning, and not the disordered thinking of someone in the throes of a mental break. No one failed this woman, as her mother contends. She failed herself. She failed society. And she failed her Mom, who I'm certain did not raise her up this way. amoo

No one failed this woman, as her mother contends.

It should not be a shock to anyone that a mom wants to blame literally everyone and everything other than their child.

MOO.
