Sydney Powell's Teacher Testifies in Mother Stabbed Murder Trial
#SydneyPowell's English teacher from high school, Kathryn Milligan, says Powell was a good student who cared about her grades, but did not recall her having a severe mental illness. Powell is accused of killing her own mother. She pleads not guilty by reason of insanity.

I was about to say the same thing. She appeared defensive … her entire demeanour changed. I feel like Sydney wasn’t prepared for the test and therefore used this teacher to get her out of it for now so that she’d have more time to study. To say that it was inappropriate to contact an administrator isn’t correct. She should’ve sent her down to see an administrator to discuss the situation instead of making another teacher ( colleague) feel compelled to move the test for her and to speak on her behalf.

To me it seems as though none of these people seem to understand that you can still love someone while also holding them accountable for their actions. She brutally killed her mother, right? Even if mental illness was a major factor in what she did ~ it still happened, so why doesn’t anyone seem to care that she take some accountability here?

My English teacher was my protector, my de facto counselor. She was my safe space. I suspect Sydney felt the same way about Ms. Milligan. And chemistry was my nemesis. I’d speak to my English teacher frequently about my dread of chemistry, my inability to comprehend it, despite hours of study. To suggest that Sydney hadn’t prepared for the exam is ludicrous. It doesn’t fit with her personality type at all. She would have overstudied, not “slacked.” And I suspect her friend suggested they go to Ms. Milligan’s office and Sydney just acquiesced. We view the world and the things that happen in it through highly personal lenses. I can’t understand your observations and I’m sure you can’t understand mine. But I think we can both pay attention to the MMPI-2.

I think the jury is going to fall for the mentalcase defense though as doctor Swales convinced me today! He was most credible with bipolar schizo-affective disorder. Just what I thought. A bipolar psychotic breakdown. I had a sister who did this but did not kill anyone luckily. It was a narcissist husband and I don’t blame her. I always vent she would kill me out of jealousy though with that untreated bipolar! She is very dangerous! Could kill like this girl if I confront her about anything. No excuse for murder though!
She gets her nails done for court, seen walking out of court with a smile on her face. How could the family be ok of her killing her mother. I’m outraged over this case.

Or this girl was in psychosis with schizophrenia, as diagnosed by a qualified professional, and the family could see and believe that. I'm shocked at how obviously unwell this young lady was (currently medicated, and will likely never be as she was before schizophrenia took hold), and yet how many people here don't get it or understand schizophrenia. Its very common for stress reactions to trigger the first episode of psychosis in schizophrenia at around this young ladies age. To kill her mother was totally out of character, yet very much in line with what a psychotic individual with paranoid and delusional thoughts would do. I wish more people understood the array of mental illnesses there are and how they can affect people. This case is absolutely tragic.

They want to have the cake, eat the cake, cover the truth with the cake, throw the cake at the safety concerns of society and then save the cake for the little sociopath for later.

She only giggled like a schoolgirl to help her bestie (Sydney) but what a huge change in attitude when the DA walked up there. This has nothing to do with stress relieving as others are claiming. Very sad.
She is a malingerer who is a darn good actress. She clearly hated her mother and her rage erupted when she got caught messing up. She just didn't want to play good girl anymore and believed she would get away scott-free. Let her rot in prison!

Are you kidding me? What about the brutal murder of her MOTHER? She is every bit just as much a danger to society as that other lady schabusiness who chopped up her boyfriend.

I can't help but feel this was the one time there was a situation she couldn't control or manipulate, and she just frankly lost her sh!t.

Her Father may be the biggest explanation for her dysfunction & attitudes of entitlement. Sydney seems more like a sociopath with inclinations of psychopathology than any of the other mental health problems the psychologist has attributed to her. She is clearly very manipulative. The violence exhibited today by kids her age when things don’t go their way and/or they can’t have what they want is extremely alarming. They also feel entitled to the very worst of behaviors without consequence. The public needs to be protected from this young monster!!

Well this is just further evidence that she was used to being seen as great and successful and when she couldn't do something she manipulated people into helping her fix it / get around it. When she got to university people stopped coddling her and she freaked because she couldn't hack it, couldn't lie / manipulate her way out of it, and the result was lashing out when faced with consequences.

READ COMMENTS from Teachers from High School and COLLEGE. Comments state LIKE YOU'VE STATED; "she was used to being SEEN as great and successful and when SHE couldn't DO something SHE MANIPULATED "PEOPLE" INTO "HELPING" HER FIX/GET AROUND IT". One Teacher states he/she does write Recommendations for College Students. They NEVER know what happens after that. A College Students needs 3 recommendations and they are written "generically" because they don't KNOW the student/family, very well? ? College Teachers :) :) :) :) tell IT like you stated in your comment and WHAT THEIR COLLEGE DOES FOR NEW STUDENTS and SUGGESTS to go to community college. . .that may be EASIER. . .than COLLEGE COURSES that are more difficult for a person like Sydney Powell. "Interesting" comments and "INFORMATIVE" to HELP Understand Sydney Powell TYPE of student(s). The College Teacher DID STATE. . .Sydney Powell Type of student(s) SHOULD BE "INVESTIGATED" IN HIGH SCHOOL and parents TOLD. . .before going off to College where these Types WILL REACT like Sydney Powell did.
If she’s oh so mentally ill, why wouldn’t Miss Teacher have reported this to someone? 🤨
This teacher only supports the idea that without accountability and honest communication, good students with good grades also have the capability of doing the unthinkable. This teacher did not answer the last question-no accountability and no honest communication.

I’d like to know from the shrinks, how it is she murdered her mother in a schizophrenic episode and then invented an alternative story about an intruder, broke glass, told her dad the story (all evidence of knowing what she did was wrong), and then lapsed into a catatonic state when the police arrived. Totally contradictory. Wouldn’t she have remained in a schizophrenic break throughout?

Looking at more facts of the case, in my personal opinion I believe that she didn’t plan to kill her mom but rather went into a rage about the situation that was transpiring and snapped then didn’t know how to handle it so she staged a break in. That is what I personally feel. This case is absolutely heartbreaking and I can’t even begin to imagine the physical suffering her mom endured being attacked with a cast iron skillet and knife attack. It’s gut wrenching.

Asking the teacher to go and talk to the other teacher to me shows a lack of accountability. She’s felt pretty comfortable getting other people to believe and do her bidding but when it came to discussing that directly with the teacher and being responsible in taking action she makes another person go and do it for her. This is interesting, in that one she can be manipulative, but I think she has deep rooted self esteem issues and a very low image of herself.

Well all the lies, before and after that killing is not mental illness. Scheming right up to the point she was arrested took some thinking. Lied and pretend to be her mother when the Dean called back after 3 times, lied to her father when he called to speak to the mom, broke out the window, lied to police when they arrived. Doesn't sound like bi Polar-Schizophrenia disorder to me, just a lier and a murderer in the middle of rage!
She was „distraught“ for the upcoming chemistry test…. Was she ever distraught about having butchered her mother? This episode of the chemistry test is emblematic. For whatever reason she was not ready to take the test and promptly resorted the her tried-and-true strategy: whining in self-pity, expecting and demanding others to solve her own problems and take responsability for her. It is disconcerting that the teacher accepted or - even worse - suggested that she would talk to the chemistry teacher so that this privileged brat could take the test another day. Weird that she recognizes that she „wasn’t the person in charge of the test“, but - all the same - she felt entitled to help her protegée. This fact alone is enough to make the teacher an unreliable witness. Too biased, not at all objective and she didn’t even try to hide her disdain for the prosecution. What a deplorable bevahior on the witness stand!
