ITS ABOUT SHES ABOUT TO PROCEED WITH HER SENTENCING. SO LETS LISTEN. YOU HAVE CAUSED CANNOT BE OVERSTATED. YOU TOOK A HUMAN LIFE, AND YOU DID SO. IN THE MOST CALLOUS AND HEARTLESS OF WAYS. YOU ROBBED A FIVE YEAR OLD GIRL YOUR OWN DAUGHTER OF THE LIFE THAT SHE WAS TO LEAD YOU STOLE FROM YOUR SONS A SISTER. YOU TOOK A DAUGHTER FROM HER MOTHER. YOU WERE CONVICTED OF RECKLESS SECOND DEGREE MURDER, RECKLESS IN THIS CONTEXT DOES NOT MEAN SOMETHING THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT. IT IS DEFINED UNDER LAW AS SOMETHING THAT MANIFESTS THE EXTREME INDIFFERENCE TO A HUMAN LIFE. YOUR EXTREME INDIFFERENCE TO THE VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE IS. SEEN IN SO MANY OF YOUR ACTIONS. IN THIS CASE, IN 2019, YOU BEAT HARMONY, IN THE WORDS OF YOUR UNCLE, HER FILE, HER EYE WAS FULLY BLACK AND BLUE, LIKE A RACCOON EYE, IS WHAT HE SAID. YOUR WORDS, WHEN ASKED WERE QUOTE, I BASHED HER AROUND THE EFFING HOUSE AND THEN YOU HID HER FROM THE VIEW OF OTHERS AND YOU KEPT HER FROM THOSE THAT CAME TO HELP HER ON THE DATE THAT YOU MURDERED HER. YOU DIDNT HIT HER ONCE. YOU PUNCHED HER IN THE HEAD REPEATEDLY. YOU BEAT HER IN THE CAR WHILE AT STOPLIGHTS. MORE THAN ONE TIME, YOU KNEW THAT SHE WAS SEVERELY INJURED, YET YOU COVERED HER WITH A BLANKET AND DIDNT CHECK ON HER UNTIL AFTER YOU TOOK HER LIFELESS BODY FROM THE CAR AND THEN AFTER HER DEATH, YOU TREATED HER BODY LIKE IT WAS TRASH. WORSE THAN TRASH YOU DID. UNIMAGINABLE THINGS TO HER BODY AND ALL IN AN EFFORT TO SAVE YOURSELF FROM BEING DISCOVERED AS HER MURDERER AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT, YOU THREATENED, ABUSED, AND BEAT YOUR WIFE TO KEEP HER SILENT. YOUR CRIMINAL HISTORY SIMILARLY REFLECTS YOUR INDIFFERENCE TO THE VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE, YOUR ACTIONS HAVING TAKEN BOTH A PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL TOLL ON SO MANY. IN 2008, YOU WERE CONVICTED OF CRIMINAL THREATENING AFTER POINTING A KNIFE AT A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL. IN 2010, YOU WERE CONVICTED OF ARMED ROBBERY AND ASSAULT AND BATTERY WITH A DANGEROUS WEAPON IN A HOME INVASION INCIDENT IN WHICH IT WAS REPORTED THAT YOU HELD UP A WOMAN AT GUNPOINT, TERRORIZING HER TO THE POINT THAT SHE LOST CONTROL OF HER BODILY FUNCTIONS.

GIVEN THE FOCUS TODAY IS ON YOUR CONVICTIONS IN THIS CASE, SECOND DEGREE MURDER, FALSIFYING PHYSICAL EVIDENCE, WITNESS TAMPERING, ABUSE OF A CORPSE AND SECOND DEGREE ASSAULT. BUT THE PRIOR CONVICTIONS ARE IMPORTANT AND THEYRE IMPORTANT AS WELL AS EACH OF THEM REFLECTS NOT JUST YOUR EXTENSIVE CRIMINAL CONDUCT, BUT EACH OF THEM REPRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY AFTER SENTENCING FOR YOU TO HAVE CHANGED THE TRAJECTORY OF YOUR LIFE TO CHANGE HOW YOU WERE TREATING OTHER PEOPLE. BUT YOU WERE EITHER UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO DO SO, AND AS A RESULT, AT THIS POINT, THE COURT HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO IMPOSE A SENTENCE THAT NOT ONLY PUNISHES YOU HARSHLY FOR THE CRIMES THAT YOU HAVE COMMITTED, BUT CONSIDERS DETERRENCE. THAT IS HOW TO KEEP YOU FROM HURTING OTHERS IN LIGHT OF THE EGREGIOUS NATURE OF THE CRIMES OF WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN CONVICTED IN THIS CASE, AND TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION YOUR EXTREMELY VIOLENT CRIMINAL HISTORY, THE COURT FINDS THE ONLY WAY TO DO THIS IS TO KEEP YOU OFF THE STREETS TO THE EXTENT, TO THE EXTENT YOU SEEK TO REHABILITATE YOURSELF, YOU THAT WILL HAVE TO HAPPEN BEHIND THE PRISON WALLS.
