Ikr. I was just thinking the same. But the complete phone call was so bizarre, overdramatic and fake. It seems like rehearsed..I am just as t 08'30 Minuten. But, her call was so fake, I believe she has something to do with her's husband's death
Him saying something like that, is just a manipulative tactic he’s trying to pull on his mother. Trying to play her heart strings/emotions/maternal instinct to abscond from accountability and in hopes he can play off her new found loneliness to get what he wants from her. What an arrogant twat.
They adopted this guy, took care of him, raised him well, and in return, he murders them to become a millionaire. What a POS. And to see Jackie get a sweetheart deal like that when it's obvious she was a cosigner.
Out of the estimated 500 serial killers in the states, 16% are adopted and 90% underwent childhood trauma, fostered, abused or similar. If you take a child away from their heritage and sometimes directly ftom an unwilling birth mother; you get what you get. . . Don't advocate adoptees to be grateful for being removed from their origins. Madness. However much physical comfort they are given, it's almost never enough and often damaging for the triad involved. Grateful? Never.
they didnt raise him well, that much is obvious, parents if you re giving your kid 30k to go play in the market at like 18... i can see already how entitled and spoiled he was raised add that to the fact he was a pos and you get a murdering pos
This is a very common uneducated way of thinking about adoption, they gave him everything, only positive opportunities right? It’s a 1/2 truth, the other side is adoptees lose everything, their mom, dad, family history, original birth certificate, real name, culture, people that share the same genetics, looks, personality traits, but adoptees are lucky and ungrateful right? Google the 7 core issues on adoption, all adoptees have these, then are told to be grateful. Education is important before speaking on things.
@@franco30528 It blows my mind when I see comments like this on true crime videos especially. Have you not realised yet most of the victims here are women (and children). That isn't privilege.

That poor mother panicking on the phone was gut wrenching enough but finding out she was unknowingly speaking with her husband’s killer must’ve have been even more traumatizing. My heart goes out to her.
@April-oj2vg I think they just meant that the mother didn't know, at the time it had happened, it was her sons doing. Which, is rational, most parents wouldn't automatically jump to that conclusion straight away.
I'd be interested to hear him explain how it's not who he is. That should be a creative conversation. His mother is all alone now. Nice show of gratitude, Nick.
And the fact that he still calls her his mom without hesitation- like even if you’re my biological child, the minute you attempt to murder me (especially for DAY TRADING MONEY) I don’t know you anymore. You’re a stranger to me.
THIS!!! She has blood on her hands and yet everyone just yawns and looks the other way when it's time to hold her accountable for her assistance in a double murder. Disgusting...

So happy to see Mike😊 I've just arrived at a drug and alcohol sober living house. And I really want to stay clean and sober. No more alcohol. No more drugs. I'm grateful to God for my little 36 days with nothing. I just got my phone back. This group of women are not very kind.

Good bless everyone here 🙏😇🙋!!!!!
Good for you! I know it's tough but try to keep in mind that I'm sure all the other women there are dealing w alot that you maybe don't know about, on top of also getting clean. I know how hard that is; just keep being yourself, be kind even when it feels like they don't deserve it. I'm so proud of you and hope you keep at it! It's worth it, I promise! ❤❤❤
In the call made from the mother to her son telling him about the shooting, he said " you returned fire?" That's when I knew he was involved. He sounded really worried about the robbers.
How disturbing how a child can take out his parents for money. This guy is a disgusting human trying to justify his actions/greed. Hope the mother is sensible to disown him, he should be in prison for life
I can't imagine how she feels. She suffered double losses. If either of my sons did this , showed they had absolutely no love for us as parents, it would break my heart. At the same time this is who took your husband away from you. So sad.
@ursodermatt8809 victim blaming? That's disgusting. Plus, there are so many mental and emotional disorders for which there is no "proper parenting." Go work in a residential psychiatric school. And those are only for kids who are diagnosable and for which they have space. I'm going to guess that he may have ASPD. There aren't always strong enough signs.
Sadly, that's the risk of adoption sometimes. Even one's own natural children rebel and try to distance themselves from their parents once they hit their late teens to early 20s. So if you have the misfortune of adopting a child with a psychopathic brain, and they get older and rebel, they may go as far as starting to regard you as a stranger with no blood ties to them, who is simply there to be used or worse, such as in this case
We dont know at whaT age he was adopted. He has a tinge of an accent. He might have lived ywars with abuse and neglect and attachment doaprders are common in these situations. It is actually not possible for USA citizens to adopt from russia any more becUse too many children are returned there, rejected as too hard, when leiple shd be aware theyre getting high and special needs childten who need aulport and counselling... and they dont get it! Just guilt ridden adoptove parents showering them with money and trying to ease over things to stop the fights and explosive rage or the guilt trips
Poor Corey. To lose her husband and be betrayed by her son and daughter-in-law in such a way... I can't even imagine that kind of devastation. (Nicholas's wife deserved a LOT more than probation.)
And his mother Corey has absolutely nothing to do with him now. I believe she hates him now listening to her talk about it. He said he plead guilty partly to prove to her that he’s taking accountability. I believe he plead guilty to avoid life without parole. Corey loved him. They adopted him when they discovered that Corey could not have children. He was adopted at birth and Corey poured into him…maybe a little too much because he became an arrogant, spoiled rich kid. Corey was devastated that her own son that she was so thankful for robbed her of being able to grow old with the love of her life. She despises him now…and rightly so. He is a monster.
So stupid that Jacky got away with it.. she paid the killers and knew about the whole thing. She should've got at least half the sentence of what they got.
That's how every single one of these cases go when a woman is involved, i'm not saying it for any sexist reason I'm saying the laws are the things that are wrong here. There've been so many cases of female contract killers who only get like 7 years for it because it was argued that since they didn't do the act itself they can't be responsible for it, they can only be responsible for trying to hire someone, while the actual person who carried out the act gets the brunt of it. But in this case we see that it's clearly not that, the man who contracted it gets the same punishment as the guy who did the act, while the woman should get the same right? we can prove she's just as responsible as the other two, but the law goes easy on evil women or unreasonably harsh on men so she gets away with it. That's so many cases right there, and those laws need to change so that bad people can't get away with their crimes just because a sexist system treats them differently.
Agreed. But I also love how bitter it made Nick in that jailhouse interview. He tries to act like he regrets what he did, but mostly he just whines that she got away with it.
The call from mom to Nick was the giveaway. My son would have been panicking at the sound of my voice not saying “what mom?”, and “did you return fire?” Far too weird reactions from a loving son.
I agree ! 💯 The mother reacted exactly like a woman who had murdered her husband and pretended she was innocent . The mother wasn’t crying at all and sounded like she forgot her lines . I wonder when she tried to recover the million $ insurance money . Also Nick asking his mum if she fired back was like he was prompting her. If Nick wanted her dead , then she would have been . (He’d know she had a gun at hand )
POS son who leaves a trail of wreckage in his wake. Sentence is ridiculous. 35 years for premeditated? They all should have gotten 30 yrs for murdering the poor dog.
No one gonna mention how he tried to throw his friend under the bus, and talked down about him to the police? One more crime committed by one more narcissist.
I love how you can tell such a dark tale, manage to still show compassion to the victims all while keeping it light and entertaining. You keep to the facts, with little inserts of your own opinions but it is always so well balanced. I look forward to your videos every single week. Thank you for all you do. You're wonderful.
Wow Nicholas and Jackie looked like brother and sister.Way to show us love and appreciation for them adopting him and giving him a privileged loving life.😞
I was looking for this comment in hopes I wasn’t the only one who thought they looked incredibly similar 😂🤣 They could EASILY pass for each other with a simple wig or scissors. Is that like a narcissistic trait, being attracted to your mirror image 🤔😅
It's always weird to me how people hear someone in their house and grab a gun to go confront them instead of calling the police and holing up somewhere. If you take your gun and hide, you have the upper hand because you will see/hear them coming. But if you confront the intruder, they can ambush you.
its so weird 911 calls are made public. That is probably the most vulnerable and scary moment of your life and you have people like this guy just playing it for hundreds of thousands of people
It’s a sentence passed by a judge who is incapable of understanding that some people have no capacity for guilt or empathy. The judge likely thought this would cause her pain as she thought of the man whose life ended, in reality, she likely felt nothing.
No matter what the plea deal played out. Corey and Ted did not get full justice from Jaclyn. How many have gone to prison for something they didn't do. She did take part in the conspiracy, thereby (IMO) she should have gotten more than just 2 days out of the year. She is still alive, Ted is not and Corey is missing her loved one. Seems more like a boner plea deal than a sweetheart one.
@dtroystopper2 the main theme of these videos are humans doing horrific things to other humans. But dogs are innocent bystanders to the human folly. Not disregarding the victims but in my heart in just extra hurt for the fur baby.
It's because they think money makes everything happen. And in this case, it did. The son was able to wrangle in that many people, including his girlfriend, because they all cared more about the money than the lives of two good people and their sweet dogs. Scary how many people out there who are a paycheck away from committing mankind's worst evils.
This is the craziest video, I met the owner of the jewelry store, he made my wife's engagement ring like 2 months before all this happened, I had no idea!
We are addicted to several True Crime You Tube shows. That Chapter is heads and tails above all the rest. The reason is Mike. He's a natural story teller.
Let's remember the mother's panicked, chaotic speech patterns next time we hear a suspect's emergency call and judge them guilty because obviously they're over-dramatizing. Sometimes grief is almost or actually wordless, but sometimes it tumbles out at high speed. People are complicated one at a time, let alone in comparison to one another.
Exactly. Could there be anything more dramatic to happen in a person’s life? There’s no way to know how you’d react in that situation until you’re in it.
I found my mom dead on the couch last July and let me tell you I remember I was sobbing and SCREAMING. Not speaking loudly, screaming. That’s why I hate when people say oh guilty bc too dramatic on the 911 call! They’d probably judge me guilty based on my call. It’s not right to decide if someone is guilty or innocent based on the call when someone finds a loved one dead. Most people are probably lucky enough to not have to go through that so they DEFINITELY don’t know how varied and intense and just soul crushingly devastating it is. And yeah that’s all I remember about the call or to be honest that whole night and the next few days. That shit traumatizes you.
“Did she return fire?” 🤨 That is a really bizarre question for him to ask at that time, I think. I hope that set off alarm bells to the investigators immediately. I’m only a few minutes in to the video, but I had to remark on that remark.
He just wanted to know if she shot someone who they could link to him. The motives of killers are pretty simple and obvious when they say things we would find bizarre.
I adore this guy. such great presentation skills. light hearted enough to counteract the depressing nature of the subject matter but also engrossing enough to keep the viewers attention and create an immersive story. thank you so much for all the effort you put in.
To me it was immediately suspicious when the son said “…did you return fire?” on that call. Maybe I’m wrong, but that doesn’t seem like something you would naturally say in that situation. It made him seem like someone who already knew about the shooting, but was still in shock that it had been a full on shootout, and so he was hung up on that.
2 days in county jail. For 10 years. That is a really novel sentence. First I've heard of it. It takes almost a day to process intake and then almost anothet whole day to process release... So weird.
It doesn’t take an entire day to be released. It’s a few hours max and I’ve been to the BIGGEST and busiest county jail in the US, the LA county jail (California). I’ve also been in the Maricopa County jail (Arizona) and the Broward County Jail (Florida) and those are 3 of the biggest jails in the US. Never taken me more than 3-4 hours to be released. I will say I’ve sat for 4 days in booking to be processed in though but that was in LA county. Awful place. But any other jail I’ve been in was usually a few hours or a day maximum to do intake. This is just my experience though. I’ve also been sober 9+ years now and things could be different nowadays. I haven’t been to any jail since 2012. Either way, this judge should definitely be disbarred. This is the most insulting sentence I’ve ever heard of. No justice done in my opinion when it came to her. 😢
I actually feel for Aerion. His conscience made him come forward. He didnt deny it, in fact he helped break the case it seemed like. That level of remorse is unusual. Im so sad when people throw their life away because of one bad decision. Parenting books talk about how we have to raise children to trust their gut; otherwise they will put their feelings (and sometimes conscience!) aside for acceptance or to avoid social ridicule. Our babies need to feel confident enough to stand up for whats right -at the time- and not go along with whats wrong.
This case blows my mind… I feel so bad for the spouse. You could hear the raw emotion of shock and grief when she told her son what had just happened. You can also hear what a terrible actor the “child” was.
Nick doesn't regret doing it. He regrets that he got caught. Jackie getting off with only 2 days every year on the anniversary is crazy sentence. The whole situation is so sad. The adopted him, showed him love and gave him a great life and this is how he says thank you.
I was born in Russia, too. I don’t like how some media portrays adopted children as not real children; as if their status makes them lesser. They feel the need to use the word adopted too much. We don’t say “the natural child” or “the birthed child”. I also hate getting asked “do you know your real parents?” in reference to my birth parents. My real parents are the couple who raised me and loved me when the other ones didn’t want me. Nothing to do with the video. The son is awful. They lovingly chose him to be their son, but he chose money over them.
You can tell that Nick is a psychopath, i mean, the way he behaves in front of the news cameras and when he was interviewed by the detectives, just wired, nonchalant, no feelings,. His girlfriend should've been locked up too for decades , she was in on it.
what a horrible ending and betrayal. It never gets old seeing how stupid people think they can get away with murder no matter how they plan it. They will eventually get caught. I hope the daughter in law gets her karma too. She should be worried about having kids like her, or her husband. Thank you Mike another great story telling.
35 years only for each? Jackie released? Ridiculous justice! Weak weak weak prosecution. Arian deserves a really short sentence. He was genuinely remorseful and shocked.
I love how as an homage to his long time followers he plays the life insurance song with barely any words in the clip cuz we already know what the first beat means
This is my favourite format of video! A comprehensive dive into a story, a life insurance dance, lots of background information and Mike's fantastic commentary. Another beautifully crafted video Mike, eternally grateful for your storytelling!
WTF kind of sentence is that for Nick’s wife?!? Is that for real…every year on the anniversary she must spend 2 days in jail?!?! Did I hear that right? She was an accomplice, plain and simple, and in any other case I’ve heard of, she would have been sentenced as such. I feel for Ted’s wife. Not only did she lose her husband, but she also lost the son she loved. What a horrible thing for the son to have done. Even his sentence seems a little light considering.
You can see from the vid that she’s telling the police about Nick. So without her confession , they wouldn’t have been able to prove fully in court that Nick was behind the murders in court . The police and the prosecution wanted to guarantee Nick’s conviction , so let her off lightly .
"did you return fire?" is such a strange thing to ask when your mother just said your father was shot.
I thought the same thing...
I agree. It's a bizarre thing to ask right at that exact minute you find out this terrible news

Corey was devastated that her own son that she was so thankful for robbed her of being able to grow old with the love of her life. She despises him now…and rightly so. He is a monster.
White privilege. Not uncommon for these ppl… # UsualSuspects
"What I did is not who I am." I call bullsh*t. He's a murderer...
His own dad! 😑
So stupid that Jacky got away with it.. she paid the killers and knew about the whole thing. She should've got at least half the sentence of what they got.
Of course she knew and then suddenly he was like a dad to her. A pair of parasites is what they are.
That's how every single one of these cases go when a woman is involved, i'm not saying it for any sexist reason I'm saying the laws are the things that are wrong here.
There've been so many cases of female contract killers who only get like 7 years for it because it was argued that since they didn't do the act itself they can't be responsible for it, they can only be responsible for trying to hire someone, while the actual person who carried out the act gets the brunt of it. But in this case we see that it's clearly not that, the man who contracted it gets the same punishment as the guy who did the act, while the woman should get the same right? we can prove she's just as responsible as the other two, but the law goes easy on evil women or unreasonably harsh on men so she gets away with it.
That's so many cases right there, and those laws need to change so that bad people can't get away with their crimes just because a sexist system treats them differently.

Agreed. But I also love how bitter it made Nick in that jailhouse interview. He tries to act like he regrets what he did, but mostly he just whines that she got away with it.

The call from mom to Nick was the giveaway. My son would have been panicking at the sound of my voice not saying “what mom?”, and “did you return fire?” Far too weird reactions from a loving son.
The mom's acting seemed fake AF too.
I agree ! 💯 The mother reacted exactly like a woman who had murdered her husband and pretended she was innocent . The mother wasn’t crying at all and sounded like she forgot her lines . I wonder when she tried to recover the million $ insurance money . Also Nick asking his mum if she fired back was like he was prompting her. If Nick wanted her dead , then she would have been . (He’d know she had a gun at hand )

Best life insurance montage ever. 😂😂😂😂😂
I love how you can tell such a dark tale, manage to still show compassion to the victims all while keeping it light and entertaining. You keep to the facts, with little inserts of your own opinions but it is always so well balanced. I look forward to your videos every single week. Thank you for all you do. You're wonderful.

She has to spend two days in jail on the anniversary of her father in law's death??? What sort of insane ruling is that?? It is hardly a punishment!!
I don't know how there's a recording of the call to the adopted son right after the shooting but hearing the panic in her voice is heartbreaking
She mentioned the cops telling her to make a call. Perhaps they were already monitoring?
You’re right that it does seem odd though 🤔
Not odd if she's using the officer's/ 'people's' phone.
Wow Nicholas and Jackie looked like brother and sister.Way to show us love and appreciation for them adopting him and giving him a privileged loving life.😞
I was looking for this comment in hopes I wasn’t the only one who thought they looked incredibly similar 😂🤣 They could EASILY pass for each other with a simple wig or scissors.
Is that like a narcissistic trait, being attracted to your mirror image 🤔😅
Thank you for showing the brave doggy too.
NEVER stop doing the Life Insurance montage. It's the best!
It's always weird to me how people hear someone in their house and grab a gun to go confront them instead of calling the police and holing up somewhere. If you take your gun and hide, you have the upper hand because you will see/hear them coming. But if you confront the intruder, they can ambush you.
its so weird 911 calls are made public. That is probably the most vulnerable and scary moment of your life and you have people like this guy just playing it for hundreds of thousands of people
The 2 days in jail on the anniversary of the crime for 10 years is a really, really weird sentence.
It’s a sentence passed by a judge who is incapable of understanding that some people have no capacity for guilt or empathy. The judge likely thought this would cause her pain as she thought of the man whose life ended, in reality, she likely felt nothing.
it's called a sweetheart sentence basically.
In a way I like it but it should be every year forever.
No matter what the plea deal played out. Corey and Ted did not get full justice from Jaclyn. How many have gone to prison for something they didn't do. She did take part in the conspiracy, thereby (IMO) she should have gotten more than just 2 days out of the year. She is still alive, Ted is not and Corey is missing her loved one. Seems more like a boner plea deal than a sweetheart one.
A dog was murdered. I need justice
Ikr? 😢
So was a human being... don't be ridiculous
@@dtroystopper2CLEARLY this went right over your head.
@dtroystopper2 the main theme of these videos are humans doing horrific things to other humans.
But dogs are innocent bystanders to the human folly. Not disregarding the victims but in my heart in just extra hurt for the fur baby.
@@Eva-nv5lwit’s not that it went over their head, it’s just an insensitive thing to say.
I will never understand people who just ask a ton of people to do a job like this.
Its mental that they dont think that will somehow come back up.
It's because they think money makes everything happen. And in this case, it did. The son was able to wrangle in that many people, including his girlfriend, because they all cared more about the money than the lives of two good people and their sweet dogs.
Scary how many people out there who are a paycheck away from committing mankind's worst evils.
His a stupid man. He was sloppy and evil as well.
That “life insurance” montage 😂 i always wait anxiously to see the cat

We are addicted to several True Crime You Tube shows. That Chapter is heads and tails above all the rest.
The reason is Mike. He's a natural story teller.
Mike and MrBallen are top tier
So glad I randomly stumbled upon this channel one day. Its the best true crime storytelling on RUclips.
Let's remember the mother's panicked, chaotic speech patterns next time we hear a suspect's emergency call and judge them guilty because obviously they're over-dramatizing. Sometimes grief is almost or actually wordless, but sometimes it tumbles out at high speed. People are complicated one at a time, let alone in comparison to one another.
Exactly. Could there be anything more dramatic to happen in a person’s life? There’s no way to know how you’d react in that situation until you’re in it.
I presumed it was adrenalin and shock causing her to stutter?
I found my mom dead on the couch last July and let me tell you I remember I was sobbing and SCREAMING. Not speaking loudly, screaming. That’s why I hate when people say oh guilty bc too dramatic on the 911 call! They’d probably judge me guilty based on my call. It’s not right to decide if someone is guilty or innocent based on the call when someone finds a loved one dead. Most people are probably lucky enough to not have to go through that so they DEFINITELY don’t know how varied and intense and just soul crushingly devastating it is.
And yeah that’s all I remember about the call or to be honest that whole night and the next few days. That shit traumatizes you.
He was guilty when he said to her did you return fire. How did he even know she took out her gun?
@@michellebaca1024 That's beside the point I was making.
“Did she return fire?” 🤨 That is a really bizarre question for him to ask at that time, I think. I hope that set off alarm bells to the investigators immediately. I’m only a few minutes in to the video, but I had to remark on that remark.
Yea I just got past that part. That was quite strange, honestly the entire exchange was.
He just wanted to know if she shot someone who they could link to him. The motives of killers are pretty simple and obvious when they say things we would find bizarre.
@@madsdee7803 Yeah, it makes perfect sense to us since we know who the culprit is before watching the video.
I said the same thing!! How did he even know she took her gun out?
Mike, the tone of your voice and the rhythm of your speech is comforting to me. And
I love you
I adore this guy. such great presentation skills. light hearted enough to counteract the depressing nature of the subject matter but also engrossing enough to keep the viewers attention and create an immersive story. thank you so much for all the effort you put in.
To me it was immediately suspicious when the son said “…did you return fire?” on that call. Maybe I’m wrong, but that doesn’t seem like something you would naturally say in that situation. It made him seem like someone who already knew about the shooting, but was still in shock that it had been a full on shootout, and so he was hung up on that.
Yeah, I wonder if he was worried that one of the shooters was injured/dead (caught) and his plan would be ruined.
2 days in county jail. For 10 years. That is a really novel sentence. First I've heard of it. It takes almost a day to process intake and then almost anothet whole day to process release... So weird.
Judge should be disbarred.
It doesn’t take an entire day to be released. It’s a few hours max and I’ve been to the BIGGEST and busiest county jail in the US, the LA county jail (California). I’ve also been in the Maricopa County jail (Arizona) and the Broward County Jail (Florida) and those are 3 of the biggest jails in the US. Never taken me more than 3-4 hours to be released. I will say I’ve sat for 4 days in booking to be processed in though but that was in LA county. Awful place. But any other jail I’ve been in was usually a few hours or a day maximum to do intake. This is just my experience though. I’ve also been sober 9+ years now and things could be different nowadays. I haven’t been to any jail since 2012. Either way, this judge should definitely be disbarred. This is the most insulting sentence I’ve ever heard of. No justice done in my opinion when it came to her. 😢

I absolutely LOVE the life insurance dance 😂❤🎉
I actually feel for Aerion. His conscience made him come forward. He didnt deny it, in fact he helped break the case it seemed like. That level of remorse is unusual. Im so sad when people throw their life away because of one bad decision.
Parenting books talk about how we have to raise children to trust their gut; otherwise they will put their feelings (and sometimes conscience!) aside for acceptance or to avoid social ridicule. Our babies need to feel confident enough to stand up for whats right -at the time- and not go along with whats wrong.
The pain in Mrs Shaughnessy's voice when she spoke to her son on the phone is gut-wrenching.
The judge who sentenced her needs to be fired and charged.
If it was a man and his wife and him set this up he would get charged. She did bat her eyelashes like Mike said!
Maybe she did the judge a favor for a lighter sentence.
Ummm…it was a plea deal.

"Did you return fire?" is a very strange thing to say. Hmmm.
Nick doesn't regret doing it. He regrets that he got caught. Jackie getting off with only 2 days every year on the anniversary is crazy sentence. The whole situation is so sad. The adopted him, showed him love and gave him a great life and this is how he says thank you.
I was born in Russia, too. I don’t like how some media portrays adopted children as not real children; as if their status makes them lesser. They feel the need to use the word adopted too much. We don’t say “the natural child” or “the birthed child”. I also hate getting asked “do you know your real parents?” in reference to my birth parents. My real parents are the couple who raised me and loved me when the other ones didn’t want me.
Nothing to do with the video. The son is awful. They lovingly chose him to be their son, but he chose money over them.
You can tell that Nick is a psychopath, i mean, the way he behaves in front of the news cameras and when he was interviewed by the detectives, just wired, nonchalant, no feelings,.
His girlfriend should've been locked up too for decades , she was in on it.
Thanks, Mike! Congrats on almost reaching 2 million subscribers!
And Nick almost got $2million... After he was spoiled, and took it out on the people who loved him even though he wasn't blood.
It's crazy that Nick got the inheritance. No killer should get the money. (Even if they only hired the killer)
The justice system is broken, Jackie was involved and got no time and no punishment.... disgrace

WTF kind of sentence is that for Nick’s wife?!? Is that for real…every year on the anniversary she must spend 2 days in jail?!?! Did I hear that right? She was an accomplice, plain and simple, and in any other case I’ve heard of, she would have been sentenced as such. I feel for Ted’s wife. Not only did she lose her husband, but she also lost the son she loved. What a horrible thing for the son to have done. Even his sentence seems a little light considering.
Clearly the patriarchy made her do it so they had to let her off easy.
so bizarre. she comes off as the instigator with that empty bank account.
For real. It's more like a symbolic prison sentence. "And every 3 years, you must take a moment of silence for Ted". Insane.
And the dog. They killed her dog too!! She lost everyone.
You can see from the vid that she’s telling the police about Nick. So without her confession , they wouldn’t have been able to prove fully in court that Nick was behind the murders in court . The police and the prosecution wanted to guarantee Nick’s conviction , so let her off lightly .
