Jerrod Baum says ‘I’m not a monster’ before being sentenced for killing Utah teen couple in 2017

During sentencing, 4th District Judge Derek K. Pullan said the murders of Brelynne “Breezy” Otteson, 17, and her 18-year-old boyfriend, Riley Powell, were the “most violent, the most selfish, the most senseless, the most disturbing” he had ever presided over.

From December 2022:

A judge denied a retrial request from Jarrod Baum on Monday. In April, a Jury convicted Baum of killing two Utah teens and throwing their bodies down a mine shaft.

Baum wanted a retrial so his defense could use statements made by a juror after Baum's murder trial concluded.

"Only a monster would kill two teens that aren't a threat to him and I'm not a monster so I must not have done it." Great logic.

This one got under my skin. Hopefully those convictions stand for the rest of this psycho's life.

Just watched the whole case on TV and feel that justice was not completely carried out due to Morgan getting more time, this is a juvenile male that has engaged with an adult female within a relationship over a lapsed period of time prior to meeting breezy. I believe in my opinion that Morgan’s significant other was after Riley for possibly messaging and trying to meet with Morgan IMO with poor breezy, she just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time with the unfortunate wrong guy at the time.
