How can you conveniently have a psychotic episode that just lasts the duration of your crime and disappears as soon as the crime is over. As soon as Sydney found out from her father that the police were on the way, she tried to pretend there was a break in to cover up her crime. Her father also stated the night of the crime that his daughter had never suffered from mental health issues. She got the lightest sentence the judge could give and this was because so many fell for her ‘ performances’ and treated her like she was the victim.

Did she live in a world of friends and family that were high achievers and she was average? Did she feel inadequate because she used this standard to determine her worth? Were relationships performance based? Was she accepted as long as she succeeded, and made to feel less appreciated otherwise? I do not excuse her and neither did the jury, but it is clear the college failure was something she could not accept in her mind. She chose to make someone else “pay for it.”

Don't ever let that girl out. Thanks, Dr G. xxx

Our “Justice System” is sick. She murdered her mother in the most brutal manner, depriving her mother of life for all eternity; yet the mother’s life is only worth 15 years in a prison that is going to provide the murderer with all of her needs. The message to criminals is clear: if you murder someone, the worst that can happen to you is that you spend 15 years in prison. I remember when I lived in Olathe, Ks, a jilted high school kid hid in his ex-girlfriend’s closet with a knife. Afterwards, he said he knew that he would have to “spend 15 years in jail”. That was 25 years ago. Last I heard, the young school girl he murdered is still dead. How is he doing?

When I was 19 I took a leave of absence from college because I was going to fail a class. It was embarrassing and I was scared to tell my parents. But I remember growing up my dad always told me “it’s not the lie, it’s the cover up” I was lucky I grew up with parents who parented me really well. I left school and moved back home. I ended up going back to school a year after that and I’ve graduated. Im now 24. And more importantly the lesson is most parents on this planet while they may be “mad” at you or “disappointed” in you for failing a class or ect, they are your parents and love you and just want you to do well. I can’t imagine ever hurting either of my parents. On the contrary I would literally take a bullet for them. I.

It sounds like there is more to this story than we may ever know. If you think about it, you have to be mentally disturbed in some capacity, regardless of what the exact mental diagnosis is, to kill your mom because you got expelled from college??? Or the relationship between the mom and daughter was not as great as everyone believed. But, I don’t believe this behavior just came out of nowhere. There had to be some signs/issues that she exhibited earlier in life that would have lead up to this extreme behavior.

I seriously don’t understand why these people think they are going to get away with this stuff. Just about every freshman in college struggles. I remember in my freshman year I failed my very first test in biology & my very first move was to ask for help not to just pretend like the problem was just going to disappear.

I am a lawyer in Australia and always find Dr Grande’s analysis interesting and love the puns and the way they are delivered. Thank you Dr Grande. I have had reason to read many reports written by forensic psychologists and psychiatrists. They are always fascinating and I enjoy the analysis from this perspective.

I “dropped out” of college by choosing last minute to take a gap year- at first I was extremely anxious and somewhat ashamed watching all of my friends go off to college, but then I got a job and my own place, lived my life for a few years doing odd jobs and meeting people, and have been very happy. I am just a few months older than Sydney Powell and I cannot IMAGINE facing 15 to life. I am very glad I took that time to find myself and now I’m re enrolled to go back to school next fall. Deferring school is really no big deal at all. TONS of young people flunk out, reapply, and go on to lead such normal and successful lives! There was shame and fear surrounding my decision to defer, but I was honest and so my family supported me. And I have had a wonderful few years. This girls parents loved her very much, her father told her it was okay to take a break from school and invited her to move back home for christs sake!! There is (almost) never a good reason for murder, but in this case there is absolutely no reason at all!! I just can’t figure out why this was such a big deal to her that she would resort to murder. Your insight is always appreciated.

I feel that Sydney was always going to murder. If it wasn't her mother, it easily could have been a friend, her father. Most people never murder, not even when it could benefit them in some way. It's the ultimate evil. You either always will or never will. Some people like to kill. They are all lacking something inhibitory and I feel it's how someone is made up on the inside, not wired right.

This one is wild. Sydney must be a dim bulb as well as having no empathy. I had an abusive mother and if I had flunked out of college (and I started at age 17), she would have beaten me and probably kicked me out of the home. So it's not like I can't have sympathy for Sydney being anxious about her mother's reaction, but it doesn't sound like Sydney's mother was abusive. And honestly if Sydney was that worried about her parents, she probably would have made more effort in her studies. Psychology is a popular major because most of the courses, especially the lower level courses, are easy to pass. I was a Science major who did Psychology as my elective and it was certainly a tenth of the work of my Calculus and Physics classes. But to me Psychology was also really interesting and fun and a nice counterpoint to my hard science classes, so perhaps I didn't have to study it as much to absorb it. However, I don't think Sydney would have gained enough information about a disease like Schizophrenia to be able to mimic it effectively, and frankly I'm surprised that any professional would have been taken in. Actually that's the thing that bothers me the most about this story, and I would hope that most modern forensic psychologists would be better able to identify someone with a serious mental illness compared to a young woman who is faking it to escape responsibility for her crimes.

That’s how it works and it’s legal for the defenses to lie like that to trick a jury and call it a theory to a fair trial! I am glad jurors are smarter now!

Sydney should be behind bars for life!

I’m going to take a wild guess and assume her mother was the stricter disciplinarian and Sydney was psychotically afraid of what would happen when her mother found out the full truth. Especially considering she must have known the attack would be heard over the phone; that detail is what makes me think she snapped and lost touch with reality. Why not attack her before she answered the phone, or wait for her to hang up? It’s very weird.

Because they are lying like the defense lawyers in the name of twisting the facts on the jury for a fair trial, but it’s disgusting lies and purgery! It’s allowed however gross!!!!

Reminds me of Chandler Halderson. He killed to cover up lies to his parents about going to college too.

Most evil monster of a daughter.

She was probably not smart enough to go to college.

No her dad probably had somebody writing her homework papers and covering up for her because I've seen parents do it and then when she got to college she realized she was an Idiot that couldn't do it without daddy

It could also have been something else. Her mother was about to find out when she was frypanned. Maybe there was other complaints….

some people who are sheltered, once they leave home for the first time go a little nuts with the lack of supervision. I'm thinking her parents made it so failure wasn't an option to Sidney, and she broke when she experienced real life.

This is no different than the Chandler Halderson Case, Young adult afraid to accept responsibility for lying, manipulating, So they kill their Parents bc they can’t deal with disappointing their parents, so parent has to go … Wow ..Ijs..

I was very happy the jury didn’t buy her childish temper tantrum in court. Entitled , spoiled and manipulative, she still got off to easy! 15 years? Please, she deserves life!!

As a longtime college administrator, I'm curious as to why someone at the college was discussing the daughter's academic status with a parent. Grades, behavior, etc. would be considered top secret security for any student over age 18 unless specifically approved by the student.

3:34 time stamp - did anyone else notice what it said on the mom’s work badge? Child Life! Looks like she may have worked at a children’s hospital! So sad!
