The fact that she tried to fake a break in, and continued lying, even claiming her mom heroically told her to flee to safety, proves that she knew what she did was wrong, but hoped to get away with it.

If she were suffering from a mental disorder, she would NOT have attempted to cover it up! And by taking her mother's life, she should have to spend the rest of her life in prison. Period.

This case is terrifying to me. My own daughter lied about being in university for two years. My husband and I paid for her apartment. We gave her money for tuition for her books for everything and she lied and lied and lied. I am a university professor myself, and it took me two years to figure out, what my daughter was doing. This case is a little too close to home for me I’m afraid. May this mother rest in peace.

And I have a feeling she was a "princess" her whole life, and didn't take kindly to mom telling her she was "scamming her" and calling her out on her lies. Then she erupted in rage.

I have sole strong feelings about this case. The fact the grandmother shows such contempt for prosecutor under questioning is insane and how the dad is saying let her go. 13 stab wounds .blunt force trauma. And 3 suits on victims throat. ...is over kill. She needs to serve life. End of story not play on a farm medicated .

This is why you teach your children at a very young age that they are responsible for every action they do take every thought captive before they react because there's consequences in life if you don't teach them these things you just doing them a disservice for later in life I have a feeling this girl was spoiled and probably has never had to face any real consequences or disciplines I could never imagine hurting one of my parents for any reason she's probably learned she was able to deceive people long before she got to this point but this time her deception came home to roost she tried to cover the crime up she lied about what happened that's not somebody that's insane

I've got bipolar 1 with psychotic features and mixed features. So similar in some ways. And psychosis isn't there and gone in an hour. Even with extra doses of medication.

This reminds me a lesser version of the Chandler Halderson case. She lied to everyone and when caught in her lies, killed to avoid responsibility.

Why is she out walking around on the streets after what she's done? Why? I don't understand that logic!

She looks like the girl who threw powder on her dad and he later died.

😲who was this? I’ve never heard this one

It is concerning that so many medical professionals diagnosed schizophrenia. Is this what schizophrenia looks like? I am the parent of a 23yo daughter. To me, it looks like a person who was under a lot of pressure and then snapped. Her mom was most likely the target in the past for her rage and she was there when the school called to give her folks a heads up. There is something significant to the fact her dad left his phone at the office. I believe her parents were afraid of Sidney.

@karenna...💯!!! Y-E-S!!!!!!!!!! Very good point.

My brother in 2002 lied about being at a college for 2years my mom found out. She dragged him to the school to find out what was going on and if he was attending . He eventually confessed and owned up to his lying. He went back to school and is very successful today. Lying isn’t ok but why take it so far to murder your mom. Shows her who is fragile.

Parents never saying NO does not equal mental illness. Hiding that you were kicked out of school & murdering her mother does not equal mental illness. It’s a ploy to try to get out of murder charges.

Accountability among the young generation is far beyond lacking. This is the problem. Reality is not a part of their lives. It is time for this the end. Games, videos, phones, no connection to the real world. No morals, empathy, or compassion is felt anymore. She needs full maximum penalty for murder. Nothing will change without justice.
