Hey, why I am I ll alone practically, on this thread? I guess I came into the case too late!!!! I suppose I will carry on with my sad one-sided conversations:
It could just come down to what the prosecutor quotes in the 1 article A prosecutor told the court that Gypsy wanted Godejohn to kill her mother so they could be together.

Maybe mom didn't want GB to have any but she found 1 anyways and didn't want her mother in her life anymore? Very sad if she chose this guy over her mother. A bit messed up to say the least.
I think Gypsy would've be better of choosing
anyone over her mother, including this guy! I agree with the posters who state the eventual outcome would've been Gypsy's death, had she not killed her mother first.
I mean I have sympathy for her. I'm sorry she had to live like that for her 18 to 24 years, whatever it was, but I wonder if we would have the same sympathy for a young man who was abused and such had manipulated a young girl to kill his mother or a stranger.

I have a question for anyone. On the threads about this case, I have seen use of the word "manipulated" repeatedly when it comes to Gypsy and her boyfriend and why he killed the mother. I think I missed an article. Can someone tell me why this is being said?
I mean, I know it's been stated he may have an intellectual disability. Have we confirmation of that? Do we know about her communications to him and what was said? What has been released about this?
TIA all!
A family of six boys Known as the Wolfpack (Featured on "48 Hours" on Fri and in a documentary) were kept in a NYC apt for years. They are doing well - are delightfull in fact. Learned coping skills by watching over 10,000 movies during their fathers control. They are amazing - a joy to watch. Anyone see the 48 hours segment? You should watch it as it restores your faith in humanity. Shows not everyone snaps, although I am amazed the turned out the way they did. It will make you feel good! Conflicted about this case and wondering if GB is diabolical at this point or it's just very sad. Can't help but think she could've figured out another way to gain freedom.
Murder is never an option.
I know everyone thinks the Wolfpack boys are doing well. I don't. They did have the benefit of each other's support and solidarity and the look at life through their movies (which does not give an accurate sense of reality) and their mother's stories, but I believe they are very brain damaged by missing billions of interactions and experiences that we take for granted, that every baby and child experiences, which create a vital network of synapses in the brain that help us understand the world around us and our place in it.
The Wolfpack brothers did not get to see people, over and over again, as they greet each other on the street, say hello to them, hug each other, help each other, yell at one another, warn each other, have countless conversations about life and themselves and each other. They did not get to spend thousands upon thousands of hours, as children do, jumping, running, climbing, on jungle gyms, fire hydrants, sidewalks, asphalt, grass, sand, dirt, hills, learning the limits of their bodies and the world.
They did not get to look directly above them and view the limitless sky reaching in all directions, or to see bird flying over their heads, or a plane pass over, or skyscrapers looming above them into the heavens. Yes, they saw things out of their windows, but not above them, which gives a child such a different sense of space and time and distance and their own smallness in the universe.
These kids did not get to crunch through fallen leaves, run as fast as hey can, smell mown grass, flowers, feel snow on their faces, or rain, or watch the leaves on the trees above them turn into fall colors (they only left the apartment in summer, the few times they ever did).
They didn't get to interact or socialize with other children, relatives, or even other adults almost ever. Or learn the games kids play, or how to begin to notice the cute girl in class, or how to drive or date or fight with a friend or enemy.
Our brains are products of our experiences. Our brains create vital connections that help us evolve as humans and gain wisdom about the world, whenever we experience even the most mundane thing, like shaking hands, seeing a dog run past us, hearing someone sneeze in a library, seeing our shadow on the ground around us. What was denied these boys has a similar effect to that of a person who has been blind since birth and suddenly is able to see - their brains lack the ability to understand depth, human emotion on a face, etc. They still need canes, and the faces of their loved ones are meaningless. Their brains never learned how to see the world with vision and now it is too late to learn.
I predict that once the sweet and exuberant veneer fades from these boys' personas, incredible dysfunction will be apparent. I predict mental health disorders, addiction issues, rage and suicide for at least some of them, sadly.
There is no way these boys can navigate the world normally due to what they were deprived of and once they realize they are so vastly different and cannot comprehend things the way others do, there will be consequences.
That would be difficult to answer without knowing if she suffers with mental health issues. I would have a lot more sympathy and understanding if Gypsy would be found to have had problems functioning mentally.
Many people do grow up in abusive households but don't resort to killing.
As for Dee Dee...whatever she did, she paid for by dying a horrible death. Her own family (sister and nephew) don't have a kind word for her even in death.
I would like to think in spite of the way she raised Gypsy that she did love her....hopefully that was the case and it wasn't all bad.
I'm really waiting to see what more info comes out in regard to who Gypsy really is.
Remember the case of the little girl adopted by a pedophile from Russia? Who raped her nightly and used her to make child
? Restricted her diet to keep her small and prepubescent? Well he also bought her toys and took her to Disney. So should we say maybe he loved her and it wasn't all bad? If that kid had not been rescued and had instead grown up with him, and then coerced an online boyfriend to have him killed, would there be any sympathy for the abuser? As much need to hold her accountable for his murder and to have her thrown in prison for 50 years or whatever?
I see little difference. The mother here destroyed this child's life. Decimated it. Ruined her kid. Twisted her. Devastated her future. Emotionally amputated all her limbs.
I excuse Gypsy.
I'm so glad you're here as I always appreciate your perspective, even if it's belated.
