Just finished reading all the newly unsealed messages between BB/JM and the many various guys they were trying to solicit on Fetlife and it just occurred to me how all these men must feel now (apologies for the poor wording) that they literally dodged a bullet by not having been “picked” by BB/JM to complete their scheme, and it makes it all the more sad for Joe that he DID meet their criteria….

Thinking of Joe is truly just so heartbreaking.. he thought he was going for a consensual encounter. Ends up being caught up in some twisted plot and murdered. Has his character smeared by Banfield, all of his private details revealed to the world and is falsely accused of being a murderer himself. Poor, poor guy.

Brendan and Juliana are sick.

What pisses me off most at this point is that it wasn't 20 years. She'll be out at age 35 at the latest and she can still have children & know the joy of motherhood. Something she ripped from Joe's mom and Christine Banfield.

So so sick. I can't even imagine how this has affected his loved ones. As if losing him wasn't worse enough, the circumstances and the aftermath of the awful smear campaign is just unfathomable to consider. jmo.

Great judge and correct sentence. So many of the talking heads predicted she would do time served. This is a great judge.

She is one of my favorite judges. Unfortunately she is retiring this summer.

She did an outstanding job in the Depp trial. There were so many different personality types and she didn’t waiver. A witness was testifying from his car, in traffic and he was vaping. He wasn’t hiding it, he was blowing smoke circles. Judge Penny said “well that’s a first”

What a wonderful judge who was able to articulate the reason behind her decision so well.

I was also impressed by the victim impact statement made by Joseph Ryan’s aunt. I find it very balanced, fair and powerful.

I bet BB is sulking more than usual tonight.

If you’ll recall, that was a recorded deposition being played at trial. It was pretty crazy though. Lol

brendan thought juliana would cover for him. massive age difference between them. he could not even look at her during her testimony in court. proper scumbags.
