This creep had the audacity to nod at Jennifer's family as he came into court. Only unbelievable self-control must have acted to keep them in their seats.

Jennifer, my heart breaks for you. I hope that he rots in prison for destroying your family. Be strong and hang in there.

This is how (these) people live and seem to die, check the records it's not that hard to do. Rudeness, mayhem, madness, violence are a way of life. What's to figure out?

if he is guilty he should get life these days u never know what somebody is capable of doing.

I think her nephew's mother had something to do with it, they should lock her ass up too. To me she did not look like she felt no pain that her baby was gone. And if they boy was in Chicago and the police were looking like they were suppose to, ain't no way in hell they would have been able to get to Texas with him. They need to dig deeper, and why would they kill her brother that man was sleep and probably did not hear anything. As for Jennifer I am so sorry for ya lost. You are a very strong Black woman and I know it rough but you will get through it. I am keeping you in my prays.
