When is sentencing? Does that happen right away?

 

[Bravo]

Good job. Bye Bye Keepers!

 

[Sheila Terranova]

Just a young girl in love looking for a best friend? By planning to horrifically murder an innocent, trusting 13 year old little child? That doesn't come close to making even a little bit of sense.

Snipped.

What the heck? Where does this "military knowledge" fit in?

Maybe he was referring to that guy he plays videos games with online?

 

[Considering]

Whoa...I'm floored that the verdict came back so quickly!

The jury decided to wait until tomorrow to recommend a sentence. I guess it's the judge who makes the final call, though.

That was my thought, too.

It has to be a record. Seriously.

The jury has decided to come back Friday to consider a sentencing recommendation for #NatalieKeepers.

Keepers showed the first strong emotion of the trial after the verdict, choking back tears, removing her glasses and wiping her eyes on her sleeves. She gave a weak smile in the direction of her parents.

My heart does ache for her parents. I'm sure they held on to hope up until just a few minutes ago. She certainly doesn't look like she will fair well in prison, and that has got to be devastating for the parents.

Sad.

Are there photos of her parents?
My heart is a thousand percent with Nicole, but my brain keeps hammering why on earth would Natalie with every single thing going for her, NASA, great school, etc wake up and decide it would be ....what? Exciting? to take part in some young man's evil selfish murder scheme. It is so sickening I can't figure out how she got there. Bizarrely evil for a young girl who seemed to have the world in the palm of her hand, I can't fathom it. Just a psychopath all of a sudden?

 

[JohnTate90210]

Apparently her lawyers pulled a smart move with the earlier guilty plea in order to block some evidence. Then they turned around and goofed up and brought in videos that mentioned the disposal which allowed the prosecution to bring in evidence that had been blocked. Crazy stuff.

 

[Bravo]

IMO a psychopath who met up with another psychopath. Perfect storm. Sadly.

When I see young people who seem to be poised for a good life screw up like this, I often consider it sort of a suicide. It's as if they don't believe in their own potential, or it's all moving too fast and they can't keep it up, or they just can't manage taking the leap from high-school student to adult student. They can't imagine being able to continue their accomplishments....so they ruin it all. Now, they never have to take responsibility for their own lives as they will be prisoners and have that as an excuse not to achieve.

Total arm-chair speculation and analysis based on nothing but my own thoughts and speculations.

UPDATE: Jury finds Natalie Keepers guilty of role in Nicole Lovell murder

According to that link, BB (Miss B) is 18. Not sure why they were blocking her name earlier since this story doesn't and she isn't a minor.

 

[Sheila Terranova]

And prison will not be kind to a child-killer before -and/or -after -the -fact accomplice. What a horrible waste of so many lives, including all of the heart-broken parents.

Didn't she feel a need to report this upcoming murder?

Totally O/T, but I miss seeing who all is following a particular thread. Am I missing something, or can we no longer see that?

I cant see it either. On a laptop. Not sure if other devices show or not.
