My heart goes out to her son: may he find comfort, peace and happiness despite the awful loss he has suffered.
Hearing her son give his victim impact statement is incredibly heart breaking. He is so brave. So unfair a monster took his mom from him😔

Floridians are so cold hearted and hateful nowadays it’s really sad
This family being so open about their struggles to keep the family unit together before Shanti's death and after is admirable. Prayers for this family's healing. 🙏
Poor Jackson he sounds so sad! I wish that she and his father could have stayed together.
No kid should ever have to give a victim impact statement! 😢
Hope that monster rots in prison
Twelve polled verdicts of yes to Guilty!!! Now rot in jail!
The victim is loved. If there is anything good, it is that Jackson and her family have love. You can feel it.
This man looks like a psychopath out of his eyes. Wow.
Heartbreaking for her son.. and her parents.. So happy they got justice got her..
Sweet, sweet boy. You needed your mama. I’m so sorry. May you be able to move forward with her feisty spirit guiding you.
Her sweet and precious son!!! Her ex seems like a wonderful man and father!!! God bless this family and I hope they can find peace. My heart is breaking for them!!!

I honestly did not see evil looks. I saw for the first time what May be a form of mental illness. But I also saw a man who didn’t seem capable of putting on a show of “I’m innocent”. I saw a man who knows he’s guilty and knows everyone knows he’s guilty.

Aww my heart for the son. So glad justice was served!🙏
5 years too long!! This poor sweet and precious son is so brave and has so much love for his mama 😭💔..and her ex husband seems like a wonderful man and a great father ❤. Im close with my mom and couldn't fathom the heartache. I want to give both this son and father the biggest hug! They are the epitome of strength. My condolences to this poor sweet boy and his family, I wish nothing but healing and strength everyday for this son and his father ❤️🕊🤍
As my mom is my best friend and my rock THIS made me cry as I can’t imagine what that family and especially her son has been through and still continues in pain and suffering. Prayers for them and hope they find peace. I hope that criminal murderer suffers in prison!
The defendant looks sleepy and bored … unbothered and unmoved as the judge read the verdict. But then again, the devil never sleeps. Peace and Wellness to Jackson and his entire family.
I have watched a lot about this case and it was quite obvious he was guilty.

Thank you jury and your honor 🙏 What a coward murderer. He didn’t even say one word. Or more importantly, two words. “I’m sorry”. To her son, her family, everyone, the world. No remorse, explanation, empathy, absolutely nothing, just like the black hole within him. Nothing. A void of existence, a soul, compassion, a heart. Just a black hole void of evil. It is visible in his eyes (that he kept closing). May he get double what he deserves! And may the darkness in his soul be exposed on judgement day in front of God’s omnipotent light. This is just his first sentence. ✝️ 🙏God bless you Jackson. 🙏 You are a brave, courageous, strong young man, a person your mom would be very proud of. Your statement filled that courtroom, my living room and the world with your mom’s heart, soul, face, light and love. ❤️ Every tear that fell from your eyes pierced millions of hearts with the value of your mom’s life and what an amazing, special person she was. She blessed our world and so many lives in multiple ways. Mostly, she blessed our world with you. ⭐️ You are her amazing legacy. ♥️🕊You carry your mom’s heart within you. Here is a poem you may like: [i carry your heart with me(i carry it in] By E. E. Cummings i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

What a POS. Throughout his trial, every time he thought his defense attorney made a good point, or was doing well, he LITERALLY would smile as if saying “take that”…ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. And his cowardice was oozing as he was asked if he wanted to say anything before being sentenced. Good riddance. Love & prayers to Jackson & all of the victim’s other loved ones.

May God be with u, ur dad, ur grandparents, and all ur family. I know its hard when u lose someone and there will be happy days and sad days but we can see u have amazing ppl around u who love n care for u. Lots of love n peace to u great brave young man.
Wow. This son’s statement is heart wrenching. So sorry for The pain he is enduring and will Continue to endure. May he find strength to turn this tragedy into triumph. So sorry for him.
Dude wasn't even smart enough to splash some water around the bathroom to support the "she was in the tub" story.

No one there to speak for him. Says it all.
Prison is too good for him. She was so loved and I'm totally in tears at the heartbreak of the family. That he could so callously destroy them all in no time at all. Her ex is correct when he says EVIL!
He indeed was a true parasite, he’s sat there with his eyes shut knowing he’s doing something in his mind so he doesn’t have to truly hear what her loved ones had to say!
that's really hard having the family to stand before the judge with him in the back 😮 terrible

that's the narcissism, but I kinda agree he's got a weird affect
Everything about this guy gutting the home and making it uninhabitable is just mind boggling batshit insanity. Was Shanti so smitten to agree to everything he wanted to do until it was too late? Dude made no progress in the rehab, he just demo'd and demo'd and put nothing back. Does he even know what the hell he was intending to do with the house?
So tragic for Shanti's son and family. I just wish the Bailiff would have handed out tissues to Jackson and her ex. Justice served for this beast.

This is heartbreaking 💔

This boys statement is heart rending. Then the ex husband- oh my gosh
How utterly tragic that fabulous, much-loved woman crossed paths with that dangerous, narcissistic abuser, and was conned into marrying him. Her ex husband's tribute to her, the mother of their sweet son Jackson, was beautiful and heartfelt. If only they'd been happy and stayed together to raise their boy. But crimes like this one are always full of 'if onlys'. May that evil, worthless PoS rot in his cage, and be entirely forgotten.
What in the hell is wrong with this judge? She couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge this creature and the devastation he's called to her son. Good luck to you, is all she could manage. Outrageous judge. Your last words should have been to that poor child sobbing in front of you. Not that thing who still refuses to show an ounce of contrition.
