Should have received a much longer sentence. And the media attention she is receiving is absurd.

Her being an abused child and abused young adult doesn't exactly completely justify her planning a murder. And she used a "sperg" to do her dirty work (stab her mother 17 times). I know her Mother was insane, but there were so many times she could have left. I also tend to believe she was in on the fraud scheme with her Mother.
 
nah you're retarded
killing her proxy munchie mother was 100% justified. sure, legally speaking this was cold blooded premeditated murder, but i don't care about that, this girl basically had her entire life annihilated by her psycho mother, any act of vengeance is absolutely justified in a situation like this.

But look what it resulted in? Why wouldn't she want to see her mother rotting in a jail cell for fraud instead? She did have the opportunity to escape.

You can say that because you're a person with a normal understanding of society and how the law works. If you had spent nearly your entire life artificially crippled and mentally degraded by your psychotic mother who is controlling every aspect of your life, you might not come to the same conclusion. I wouldn't take everything from Gypsy at face value because memory is fickle enough for the average person, but if even a fraction of the stories are true, her mother was a monster and deserved retribution. However, at least from Gypsy's perspective, her mom built a sympathy barrier that made it unlikely anyone would pursue action against her through legal means.

I think it's pretty cool that she got some autistic spaz to do her dirty work. That being said, her mother was a grifter and a scammer extraordinaire, so it's hard not to respect her. Though she took it too far when she made her daughter live like that 24/7. I'm all for scamming the government, but don't let your scams involve crippling your own kid.
 
I think she would have been released on good behavior eventually, but her basically having a fandom following (and a husband lmao) is what's nuts. But I guess that's what happens when a murder becomes a media circus. It feels like it was just yesterday, too.

Personally, I don't think she was intelligent enough to make a more rational decision besides having her mother murdered. Abuse warps the mind and she's always come off as emotionally stunted.

Wait, so she figured out how to go online, create a dating profile, get this guy to come down to Missouri from Wisconsin or whatever on multiple occasions, steal $4000, coordinate the guy coming at night, and instead of simply leaving, convince the guy her mom had to be killed.

Because she simply could not rationally make another decision.

Yeah, the circumstances in this particular case subtract a lot from it, but I am pretty much in the camp thinking “sometimes murder is morally justified.”

For instance, what if a grown man was literally stalking your daughter? The official process is “go to a court, get a restraining order, prove they violated the restraining order, more court, more court” and reality might have more urgency than that.

It’s just that it’s probably too complicated to write competent statutes about, but it’s also dubious to rely on judicial discretion
