Is she in jail now?
@@harisqureshi421- yes
Court TV is evil and *greedy* for hiding all of the footage from the trial (which SHOULD be public) behind a PAYWALL, so public court trials now require paid monthly subscriptions to watch.
Crying but no tears. Hugging her attorney totally unprofessional. She killed her mother in a rage. She knew what she was doing. Justice was served.
you are right!! i went back and looked and ZERO TEARS!!! STRAIGHT THEATRICS!!
Right! Hang it up. That Hail Mary defense failed and the decision has been made. Very unsportsmanlike conduct lol
I noticed too, dryface
U obviously haven't ever bn n a rage!!! Have U ever heard of blind rage??? That doesn't mean insane actions!! It means out of control from rage!!! But..... everyone is entitled to their opinions!!!!
norahstuart great point! She had a temper tantrum because her Mom was disappointed in her. She could've taken responsibility & her punishment but this was her decision. She couldn't fool everyone.
She viciously murdered her mother and thought she could walk away from the consequences of her vile actions. Unbelievable.
I can't get my head round the brutality of the crime
Yep, Smh
I am glad they did the right thing. I dont think a day goes by when she doesnt think about what she did.
Her daddy and her family led her to believe that
Yeah and she was sure she would walk
I do not understand how her maternal grandparents could be so blind about how she killed her mother so viciously and believe she is innocent. It's just beyond denial. So glad the jury got it right and Brenda received justice.
I totally agree with you, it boggles my mind
DENIAL
Actually, you do.
They love her, as they loved their daughter.
The jury stood up for Brenda, unlike the family…
I was really worried there would be a hung jury. I’m so glad Brenda received justice.
Thank God she’s going to jail !
I think her mother will be the last person to want this outcome.
I agree.
@@wendlafinnanger3958we wouldn’t know. Cause she dead.
She was beaten and stabbed to death
@@49ersfan834 accdg. to the State, the minimum is 15 to life, max is 26 to life. Either way, she has to go through the parole board. The rest of the count will likely be concurrent.
Prosecutor makes a good point that they have a responsibility to the community to keep people like her locked up regardless of the families wishes.
I'm sure her Mom would have wanted her daughter to be free, right up until Sydney killed her
Definitely. Even if the family and friends aren’t willing to acknowledge the risk she poses, the community deserves protection
The attorney says they did it for Brenda and that the prosecuetors don't care for the victim Well they sure did and got this one on point!she needs to stop and take responsability and all that hollering and crying out she did that and i'm sure keeping it up still at the jail It's a trantrum!
thank you for saying so eloquently what i was trying to say....as a community we CANNOT let her out. i dont care about her family wishes at all and honestly, they need to take all the seats. horrid to defend her actions.
Except, she should've been locked BEFORE she actually sliced somebody up! Too many of these cases that should've been addressed when these crazy people were teens! Or younger.
This is part of the problem. Whenever she does anything wrong, she’s coddled instead of facing consequences. It took a murder and a jury to hold her accountable.
Exactly!!! That Brenda’s own mother was Against her own child that was murdered was a disgrace! She is a brat back then and now!!!
Spot on! 💯
Yep!
Sidney needs to take responsibility of what she did. Her family needs to stop cuddling her, once in for all. I understand Sidney was afraid because she was about to get into real trouble with her Mom. But MURDERING HER , I just don't get it. Justice was received here for her Mother.
Exactly!
The commentator called her "this kid". She's 23. And she deserves to go to prison and stay there. RIP Brenda
Amen.
Exactly. I abhor when they say that. She is a grown woman…And a Convicted Murderer.
It's a shame that even the professionals were calling her the kid, girl, and child. It just made me sick to my stomach. What she did to Brenda and these educated folks pretended to try and soften the crush by pretending that she was a child is awful.
Don't murder your parents and you won't go to prison... for God's sake they gave you life
If you are angry at MOM, take a walk.
@@islanderbyrd1881You didn't understand that comment at all🙄
AMEN !!
@@cherie623 i think they are agreeing with you. Sidney could have just taken a walk instead of what she did.
And now, she gets “life” in prison
Poor Brenda has been utterly betrayed by every member of her family. Thank you to the jurors for finding some justice for that poor woman.
Exactly shame on all of them.
I was shocked to hear about her own mother and father! 😢 I can’t imagine. I’m guessing they’re holding onto the one who is still alive
What do you think her own mother would have wanted, if not maximum leniency?
@@user-lq9es6wm9sbecause she got them fool I can’t believe it either
@@sadiehughes6972I feel sorry that Brenda has that type of family
Something is not right with this whole family. How could you even ask for them to charge her with a misdemeanor and community work?? Thank you to the prosecution team for valuing her mother’s life.
The prosecutor isn't going hard enough sadly. It should have been aggravated murder (how was this not DONE WITH PRIOR CALCULATION!) and the judge should sentence her to LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE. She could be out in just 15 years unless the judge runs other counts consecutive and/or the parole board sees through her when she comes up for parole.
They're all Re-tarted
a family of narcissists. i know someone who looks and acts just like this. Its terrifying and i worry about her husband and children who have a psycho as a mom
Because that family KNOWS HER and the relationship she had with her mother because they were there and also because she has been diagnosed with a very serious mental illness that explains why a normal loving child all of a sudden murders her mother in cold blood in the middle of the day over dropping school.
She was fine until she started stressing about college and her illness got triggered.
Mental illness is rampage and it's understanding is so in diapers it's scary.
@@fernandaolivares7926You’re making excuses! Than why do we have prisons? Let’s free all criminals!
She deserves life, nothing less. My heart breaks for her mama.
Well she got 15 years. Smh
This was, indeed, a fit of rage and people should NOT excuse an intentional murder as a 'mere behavior flaw'! She committed a 'murderous crime' and received JUSTICE in her sentence!
Well said 👏
@DonnellxxOkafor and the paid “experts”
No more days at the farm or ranch.
Exactly
She’s a spoiled brat and that family is putting the rest of humanity in jeopardy. She needs to be locked up for decades .
She wasnt even crying. No tears, and she had no problem looking up at her attorney in the middle of her act. She stopped huffing and puffing to look at him. NOT A TEAR.
Anti depressants can do that.
Exactly what I saw!
I saw tears. Get some glasses.
DID anyone notice she started crying BEFORE the verdict was read. I wonder if she heard it prior or the jurors faces.
She has been crying from the beginning many times.
No tears. Just drama. She is finally held accountable for her atrocious choice and behaviour. No matter how much her mom’s family support her. The fact is that she killed her own mother in the most brutal way. Everyone says that her mother would not want her to be punished. We will never know what her mother’s wishes were because she actually killed her. Imagine her mother’s thoughts when her daughter is stabbing her in the neck 30 times. What a horrible way to die. Sydney didn’t even try to help her mother as she lay there dying. Instead, she decided to stage the scene by breaking the window and telling the police that her mother had been attacked by an intruder. That is not mental illness it is is callous and criminal at another level.
Agree!!
No tears!
She lied for several years...to the school, to her parents, and the police....
LIFE for a life!!!!!
Actually, I agree; well said.
The family is so weird to ignore what the daughter actually did- a super horrible deliberate murder of the women who truly loved her daughter
Even the prosecutor is weak here--this murder was committed "purposely, and with prior calculation and design" under Ohio code Section 2903.01 Aka Aggravated murder which carries up to life without parole or the death penalty and she should have been charged with it.
Shame for you Sydney. Your lies are over.
JUSTICE FOR BRENDA.
😀
Looks like the name Sydney Powell is attached to guilty people!!!
Never release the Kraken...😅
She was sane enough to make up a story about an intruder… Justice for ❤️mom❤️
Thank You
That’s the proof and why the conviction.
And she pretended to be her mom on phone with college personel
It proves that she knew right from wrong.
@@Dustandfuzz It is an important fact that helped jurors to vote guilty.
If she were willing to go as far as killing her own mother in order to hide her failure and keep it from being exposed, one can only imagine the extent of harm she could inflict upon a stranger. Without a doubt, she poses a significant threat to both the public and society as a whole.
I can't believe her family wanted the prosecutor to agree to have Sydney pleas guilty to a misdemeanor (no prison time) and for her to continue living her normal life with a little community service-wow!
Such entitlement!
All I have heard in this trial is how everyone was there for the defendant. I didn’t see or hear anything or anyone speaking on the loss of the mother. She got her justice today. RIP.

Well because sometimes family is family. We don't know the whole story. Unconditional love matters in some families.
@@monicavillarreal3902That was not unconditional love it's enmeshment. Not love. With family like that excusing her behavior it's easy to see why she did it. What a screwed up bunch of people. They can give her love in prison.
@@texasrefugee7888Exactly Chris Watts family is a lot like that even after he brutally murdered his very pregnant wife, and 2 little daughters. He is still their poor little boy, and wonderful son who can do no wrong.
No one was standing up for Brenda , thank you for caring about her life.
It's a shame that this weird family seems to have forgotten about Brenda and her love for humanity! RIP Brenda
Brenda was (from her mother) a VERY caring person whose life was caring for others dealing with cancer. May her spirit live onward away from this cruel world. R.I.P Brenda
@@marcellanorfleet4438oh well no there claiming Brenda wouldn't have wanted her daughter punished for her brutal murder that she would have been accepting of it that she loved her daughter so much she would say it's OK that you hit me over the head with a frying pan and then stabbed me 30 times in the throat like wth 🤦♀️ this family is very selfish and so is everyone who's so concerned about her crying after her guilty plea of course she's going to cry she doesn't want to go to prison for this she thought she would walk right out the court room and go back to her normal life with her family and just forget about Brenda and move on.
Totally agree with you. Poor Brenda what an ambush. For a mother being a mom
I loved Sydney's look of how could you to the jury, with the jury thinking, no, Sydney, how could you . . .
As someone who briefly knew Sydney at university I can say from my personal experience and that of close friends she is NOT insane. I’ve even hosted her with friends in my dorm multiple times. It’s just horrible to try and play the insanity card once she realized that there was no way to wiggle her way out. My heart goes out to the family and friends of Brenda❤️
Incredible how the media stand with these murderers...thanks for thé story
Thanks for chiming in Samueldenny, it's good to hear from someone who actually knew her. I simply feel so sorry for her mother and how she lost her life in such a violent way to her own daughter. If she is insane why is she crying? Insane people don't cry while going to jail why, because they are insane. She is not insane.
@@deg6788 Media folks are mostly liberals but when they get harmed its different story.
The jury got it right
The pain she felt today is nothing compared to the pain the mother felt.
Now isn't that the truth
She will realize daily what it means to not have a mother around anymore.
Rip Brenda, her last heartbreaking moment watching her own evil child ambushed & stabbing her to death, ultimate betrayal poor mom, over nothing .
The fact that she still has life to feel pain is a blessing she took away from her own mother
The terror, shock , betrayal she must have felt while it was happening. So sad.
Not a damn tear hits her cheek! Look how hard she’s gotta try. Her whole life she’s gotten away with murder… but literally when it counts she gets what she deserves 👏🏻
stop calling her a kid. she is 23. at most, you can say young adult. she was 20 when she murdered her mom. old enough to know right from wrong.
Thank God, I was afraid that she will get away from it because nobody was standing up from this family for Brenda. This family is so delusional for supporting this murderer instead of Brenda whose life was cut short by her own daughter.
I agree and as much as I don’t agree with her defense attorney he was very passionate and good. She was not delusional. I’m a psychiatric NP and borderline personality disorder is much more fitting not schizophrenia.
Unbelievable that the family is not behind Brenda, the victim.
@@magdasmith1421Brenda was such of good mother and nobody of the family’s members stood by her side…that is so sad....😢😢😢
@@iveyglezyiaglen3116how do we know she was a -"good" mother. It's for sure this chick wasn't a good person.
@@glitter7777 I think narcissistic rage. She never cried for her mother. Screaming for Daddy to get her off - and he tried. I wonder how well the toddler tantrum hysterics will work in jail? I suspect she quickly learn it doesn't.
Sounds like this girl was spoiled and didn’t want her Mom to know about her flaws and the poor choices she made. She didn’t want to be a disappointment in her Mom’s eyes. After the killing, Sydney lied on the phone, trying to disguise as her mother, lied about an intruder - she knew what she was doing.
Regardless, she needs to be held accountable for taking a life with her own hands.
She also knew after the statement her mother made,that she might be financially cut off
We will never really know.
She KNEW for sure.
I agree and we really dont know the relationship she had with her mother. They went on about how close they were, but the fact that her mother was tracking her location was to me a little bit controlling at Sydneys age. Sydney was an adult and her mom was tracking her every move. I feel sad for her and the family and she will do better cause you certainly dont want an insanity sentence at that age.
Exactly 💯 true. Also, MENTAL HEALTH is taken seriously now & and a lot of these PRIVILEGED ENTITLED KIDS try using this as a WILD CARD. Justice for her mother ❤
No tears... She's just upset because she's feeling sorry for herself. The jurors got it right and saw right through her. Not one tear for her mother. Brenda now you can rest in peace 🙏
You haven’t seen a defendant act like that bc this woman HAS NEVER BEEN TOLD HER NO! Justice has been served
It was good to see this murderous brat get consequences for once in her life! You cant manipulate the law! This is what happens when you never tell your kids no and get them out of every self made problem. She's as bad as Mackenzie Scharilla.
@@Ruth78620 Examples of spoiled brats who were spared the rod also include Casey Anthony, Chris Watts, Scott Peterson, and Sarah Johnson. They were accountable for the very first time in their lives when they killed spouses, children and/or parents. Unfortunately CA was acquitted and will never face accountability for anything in her life. Its a shame that the Powell family defends this killer and not the victim, her mother.
She’s been putting on a show this entire trial! I’m glad the jury got it right!!
Probably was told to make herself look crazy.
Hats off to the State, Psychiatrist for the State, State Witnesses, & Jurors for their outstanding job! Justice for Brenda. May she rest in peace.
State's expert was NOT a psychiatrist. She was a psychologist. The state couldn't find any psychiatrists to testify for them, because all the experts agreed Sydney was insane. The state's "expert" was not board certified, had never testified before, had never published, had minimal experience, and conducted NO psychological testing on Sydney. There are emails showing the prosecutor told their expert what evidence to focus on. State's expert was a joke. No one agreed with them, and all of Sydney's treating physicians (who were not hired by the defense) agreed with the defense's experts (who included psychiatrists). Not one person agreed with the state's expert (who wasn't even a doctor).
@@murderwiththecourt7834 The jurors deliberated for hours and will likely publicly share how they arrived to their conclusion. The defense can always file an appeal.
@@murderwiththecourt7834 psychologists are doctors, just FYI.
@murderwiththecourt7834 sounds like you didn't get the not guilty you wished. Well, too bad, poor Sydney can go be a big girl and sit behind bars like damn near ever other inmate that is charged with murder. Girl had special treatments this whole trial and that came crashing down on her fast today. She should not have murdered her own damn mother. Boo hoo. 😂😂
I missed the States expert on Sydney’s mental status. I wish I did. Maybe that person didn’t agree to be videoed.
What is still disturbing to me is, she is still manipulating her own family.
You do away with my daughter, her own mother and I’ll stand by you?
Come on!
The nerve of That family to ask the prosecution not to go through with the trial and to charge her with a misdemeanor. This shows how much Brenda meant to them they think Sydney's life was more important than Brenda's 😢. I can see why Sydney acts the way she does they literally wanted her to get away with murder
Poor Brenda. Even her husband and family have no compassion that this lovely, innocent lady was brutally killed.
So sad. A mother that was doing what mothers should do for their children, and she lost her life because of an ungratefu,l selfish and narcissistic daughter... Such a shame! Rest in peace Brenda!!...😢 Your family might not have cared about you, but the world can see what a wonderful woman and mother you were...❤
How would you know? Smh.
This is so sad that this family didn't show a loving spirit for such a loving lady. She put her heart into her community and I'm sure decent people will remember that. RIP Brenda.
Its always on display how interpersonal comments become as far as people really wanting to find a reason to feel something,even if its for someone else,and start to testify to defendants soul and state of mind,so they can express some impotent rage they penned up and can justify it by claiming to read minds and souls therefore making it a matter of good vs evil where they can be apart of a righteous mob embracing vengeance on behalf of the state.
@@lesleyhughes3174
Because they support the murderer.
I agree with this verdict. She does not deserve a future outside of jail.
She’ll definitely get a future outside of prison & will be out in 12 years if they give her 15 to life, she’ll be out shortly after 12, & will be able to have a life, become a mother. With the family advocating for the now convicted & the Judge is going to give her mercy as she does have some messed up mental illness and needs mental health help on the inside so she’s stable when she does come out.
@@dudemorris7769 I agree that she is young enough to do her sentence and get out at a relatively young age. She certainly will not be receiving any decent psychological help while in jail. Since she is trying to play out the role of someone with schizophrenia, I hope she knows that she has to stay in character the whole time she's in jail. She summoned her own fate. Her life as she knew it, is over.
You can't kill anybody PERIOD! It doesn't matter how many feelings get hurt! Good job, jury, for upholding the law.
Lack of accountability is one of the biggest social epidemics.
I can't imagine the pain amd agony Brenda suffered when she was being attacked by her own evil daughter. Its absolutely unthinkable that someone would do that to their mother
Yes! I have felt her pain and she didn’t deserve that! This entitled brat can’t even think of her horrible act and what she did!!! She would admit at sentencing that she deserves to be punished for it as it’s horrendous beyond belief! 🤦♀️
Can’t wait to hear what she has to say for herself at sentencing! Hope she gets 25 years to life with parole as a rage killing.
I would imagine Brenda was cryingtoo
😢🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I can bet Mama knew exactly who she raised & expected it, yet didn’t know to prepare herself. We don’t expect to have to fight our children off of us, or from killing us, however, it happens where parents have to take life in the process of saving their own. Mama should have been much stronger & ready to protect herself at any time, from whomever.
Exactly - that is why her mental illness was explained but most people don't understand it unless they have seen it first hand. This girl was an honor student living a great life and over her freshman year her brain started to malfunction. She was probably confused as hell as why she couldn't memorize things and perform like she always had. Most of these mental illnesses present in their late teens for the first time. That's what happened to our family member and it devastated her and our family. We all have memories of how hard that time in life is trying to figure out future careers, dating, etc. - someone with mental illness doesn't stand a chance without help. Hospital not prison is the answer in my humble opinion. @Juke582
And the jury has spoken,accordingly . Justice served.
She bludgeoned her mother than stabbed her in a brutal and sustained attack. Anyone capable of that kind of violence should not be walking the streets.
They got it right. Deception was rampant whereas if she was legally insane she wouldn't have lied to cover her deeds
I’ve never seen someone cry so hard but not shed a single tear….tells me all I need to know.
I was just about to say the same thing. She really played the part when her father and grandmother were testifying. They need to open their eyes.
And the fake hyperventilating too.
I noticed that
it is so weird. the tissue is super dry and she doesn’t even need to blow her nose with all that crying…
She is a fake!
Why in the world are people trying to be so lenient on her????!!! People feel so sorry for her. Let’s give her the minimum sentence. That is RIDICULOUS!! She killed someone! That is NOT OK!!! Give her the MAX!!
🎯
It seems the family wants her to do her time on the farm...
@@APC-yr5fi She is working on the farm! yeah right !
Every sociopath that has ever lived has successfully manipulated and controlled atleast some people. This monster is no different. It helps prove she needs locking away that she has a fan club like this.
She didn't kill someone! She murdered THE MOTHER! HER MOTHER!
If this person gets 15 years it will be a disgrace! Shame on you Sidney and shame on this delusional family!
She still didn’t shed one tear! What a psychopath!
I am tired of male attorneys putting their arms around these young women and claiming that they care about them as if they are their daughters. Isn’t that crossing the professional line? Creepy and unprofessional.
Thank you for Brenda's justice! We can't allow these killers to run free to continue to kill!
As the mother of a son who was diagnosed with schizophrenia aged 18 (he’s now 30) I can categorically say that the defendant was not mentally ill at the time she killed her mother. She immediately lied and attempted to cover up her actions. A mentally ill person would not have the capacity to do that. She simply blew up in a murderous rage the moment her mother was about to discover her lies!
I totally agree with you. I am the parent of a mentally ill child too and Sydney knew what she was doing when she killed her mother. She may well have mental health issues but she knew what she did was wrong at the time she killed her mother.
I am a parent of a girl who has schizophrenia. I stand on the other side . I disagree and believe she was having an episode at the time of the murder. I think this one wrong.
That’s what the juror who spoke to Chanley painter said afterwards!!!! Easy to persuade the other 5 jurors on that coverup being organized minded and not any psychotic break! They thought same as most of us! Yay 😃
@@jenettejackson991
so you think her covering up afterwards was done during an episode? She wouldn’t know to cover it up if she was having an episode
@@Popitlikeitshot My daughter jumped on my back once when I was putting stuff into the laundry. By the time the ambulance 🚑 got to my house she was back to normal. One time I was driving on the freeway and she grabbed my steering wheel. That time she wasn’t able to get it together and was held. So yes I’ve seen it both ways. When they said she had an incident where she would lose sight it’s in the prosecutions closing statement I knew she has schizophrenia. That’s something my daughter describes. When it happens it scares me. The doctor said it’s part of having tactile hallucinations. My daughter has auditory, tactile and visual hallucinations. She is also autistic. I see a lot of similarities when I was watching this case. So to me it was heartbreaking.

Recap by Tammy AI
Appreciate your comment ❤
A master manipulator. She had everyone around her fooled - then she tried to take her tactics into the wider world, first with the university, then with the jury, and they saw right through her.
Great job by Jury! She was so guilty!
She wasn't crying when she hit her mom with a pan and stabbed her to death. She also lied to cover up what she did because she knew she was wrong. Now she has plenty of time to reflect on her actions.
Right!!
and had the sanity to break a window from the outside!!!!!!! Shady.....
How do you know, where you there?
@@60toodles the forensics were there!
I feel like Brenda got lost in all this. She sounds like a wonderful woman. She worked with kids with cancer etc.
Sydney, you took your Mothers life and in the worse way possible. If you think hearing your verdict was bad, you have a much higher Authority that will eventually Judge you.Prayers and strength to the Families
Oh good finally someone stood up for mom, her husband and parents betrayed her. Justice for mom! Rest in peace Brenda.
Hope the husband doesn’t speak at sentencing as he is killing me! 😩
We, the people, stood for you, Brenda Powell. I know you loved your daughter, but we live in a society of rules and laws. Justice served; RIP now, Brenda!!!
Yes!!!!! All murder victims deserve justice!!!! That lady was a good mom and great person in a worthy profession and did not deserve that kind of pain and suffering and being taken away for a brat rage liar her father enables!
If an afterlife existed, she’d be so pissed at all of you for doing this to her kid.
@LostHope84 If the "after life" exists, I'm sure there are no such petty emotions like being "pissed" there.
@@jenniehughes6927 No, we can be sure he would be angry at you. this is her kid!! and you don't know her!
@@LostHope84 Too bad. This is JUSTICE for murder. Should be sentenced for life, more so because it was her mother. 15yrs is too lenient for this piece of work.
They're saying that their viewers are split on this decision, but every comment I've read has been in favor of the prosecution and is happy with the jury's verdict.
Justice was served for the mother who’s daughter viciously murdered her own mother. Justice for Brenda!
she's just a spoilede brat. She wanted to hide her mistakes at all costs. She deserves every second of what she got.
What mistakes I haven't really been following was she messing up in school?
💯
@@charlesmurray4864She murdered her mother, beat her with a pan and then stabbed her 30 something times.
@@charlesmurray4864She was suspended for the Winter semester of college, if I'm not mistaken, but lied to everyone and tried to appear to still be at school. She had good grades in highschool but they started slipping at college and she didn't want everyone to know she was having trouble maintaining so when her parents were about to find out the truth she killed her Mother.
@AuntCathyPooh that's psycho geeze, thanks 😊
Fake crying. It’s sad. It angers me. Can’t even shed real tears for the unforgivable act she did. Way to ruin your life and the life of your family. I hope she learns how to think of others before herself.
The thought that she could snap and kill again is terrifying . The fact that she lied and attempted to cover it up shows she understood what she did . This case reminds me of a childhood friend and neighbor who shot and killed both of her parents . When we heard about it we all knew which of their kids did it because she had always been strange and was medicated for most of her life . She was sentenced to a state mental hospital and was gradually released back into society with continued supervision .
I'm relieved with the verdict but it's bittersweet 😢 If you stab someone in the throat you want them dead. I think she just was filled with so much rage. You don't know what goes on behind closed doors. My heart breaks that a daughter could do this to her own mother 😢
Agree! 👏🏻
The only thing that is insane is her family’s belief that she shouldn’t go to prison. Great prosecution and a sane verdict.
It's called unconditional love. I suspect her mother would feel the same way if she could speak.
She is absolutely a danger to society. Her family can love her unconditionally while she’s in prison.
@@60toodles They can love her forever, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t murder her mother. Even family members have to accept reality and understand the consequences of one’s criminal actions.
I would have been afraid to sleep in the same house like her Grandmother did.
@@WhitneyMerten-hb3tc They will, don't worry about it. But unconditional live means you always, under any circumstances, want what's best for the person you love, not for "society". Therefore, it means you are vehemently opposed to them going to prison no matter what they did.
Absolutely insane that she violently murdered her own mother and the family asked for community service and probation. Can’t imagine what behaviour she’s gotten away with up until this point.
PATHETIC .This is a CLASSIC case where an overbearing mother brought up her daughter to be AFRAID to tell her that she was having trouble with school. I can only IMAGINE the fear this girl had about her mother finding out she was no longer in school. Her mother was obsessed only with SUCCESS and NOT about her daughters happiness. The fact that this young girl was SO afraid to talk to her mother tells me EVERYTHING I need to know about how her mother brought her up. Unfortunately, this is pretty common with mothers who care MORE about image than their childs happiness. UNFIT MOTHER.
@@tonys4396what!!! didn't u watch the trial her mother was a loving caring mom get ur facts right before commenting....
@@tonys4396I'd love to run into you! You're pathetic!!!!!
@@Gabriel-hf1yy You can only push your kid SO far. Asians do this the most. Some Asians push their kids SO far that they commit suicide or kill their parents. The ones who don't murder or commit suicids, suffer a horrible life of depression and mental ilness as a result of mothers who never brought their kids up to be loved, approved of and accepted when they don't succeed in school. This girl should have been given therapy as a result of finally blowing her top under the pressure of a mother who demanded that she succeed at any cost or pay the consequences.
It’s really egregious. I completely agree.
Why should she receive any mercy? She didn't show her Mother any? Great verdict! Looking forward to sentencing.
I had a schizophrenic family member. She had symptoms from the age of 6. She became violent as she aged. From my personal experience you don’t all of a sudden become schizophrenic one day out of nowhere and kill someone. There are multiple signs and symptoms. She probably was suffering mentally and feeling pressure to perform or measure up and couldn’t bear her family knowing the truth. This story is not so unusual. We had a very similar story here in Canada where a young man killed his parents and grandmother to avoid being found out that he wasn’t in school. Very sad for everyone
I disagree with you. Schizophrenia can come out in a psychotic break. Just like bipolar can come out with a psychotic break. It’s then they are treated with medication. Not before. We are not talking about a child. We are talking about an adult. An adult brain. Not a child’s brain with mental illness.
Good verdict. Even her reaction is an act. There are no tears. She is simply holding up a tissue and pretending to cry. She got a huge break being out of jail for three years. It's time for appropriate punishment for taking Brenda Powell's life. ❤
i thought it was more like 5 years
💯💯 I was looking for someone that said just that! NO TEARS
@@potr6461no it’s been 3 years
If she is able to kill her best friend she is a threat to society for sure. Justice for Brenda 👏🏼
I’ve never been so happy watching someone cry uncontrollably as I did seeing this!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ loved every miserable pant!
Thank you jurors for serving justice !
Allowing her to be out on bond for nearly 4 years and live with granny to play with the animals all day, did her no favors in preparing her for prison. This type of woman *needed* to be in jail first to prepare her. If they truly believe shes mentally ill (which i dont) then this is only going to make that a whole lot worse for her. Shes about to have a seriously rude awakening.
Only 3 years! Boy she better toughen up as those tough inmates will beat crap out of her immature crybaby acts!
That’s what she gets! 😂 There are going to be women in prison who would give ANYTHING to see their mother.
There will also be women who’s mothers died while they were locked up. They will look at her spoiled, ungrateful, entitled ass, and beat the sh!t out of her with the same rage that she unleashed on her own mother.
Yay!!👏👏👏
Pc
High profile case = protective custody
I was shocked! She stabbed her own mother 38 times and was allowed to chill at home. Wow! Hard to believe.
Just because someone has mental illness does not mean she is not responsible for her behavior. It’s terrible all around.
Agreed but does she deserve help or prison??
@@WrldWideOphelp would have been deserved if she didn’t beat a person to death.
But she did.
So consequences
@@Somero5115 as crazy as it sounds, I simply disagree🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
This! My therapist recently taught me this: you're not responsible for how others treat you, you're responsible for your reaction
If they believed she had a mental illness/breakdown she would have been found not guilty.
Justice being served! 🙌
Your viewers aren’t split court tv!!! We all agree this spoiled girl is GUILTY! I have a brother with paranoid schizophrenia and he DOES NOT go into psychosis and have the mindset to come up w a murder and cover up plot.
I hope she and her family realize what her Mother must have felt when she attacked her, her Mother didn't have a chance to react like her daughter did when she heard the verdict. Thank you Jury justice was done.
She really thought she was going to get off on some kind of "insanity" or "mental breakdown" defense. Thank you to the JURY for seeing through her fake demeanor.
How can you be so close to your mother and stab her to death out of nowhere?! And I don't understand her family who wanted this hideous murder to go down as a "misdemeanor". Seriously?! 🤔 A woman is dead!
Good job Prosecutors.
Interesting, how she started motioning and "crying" before the Fore person began reading the verdict!🤔
Looks like the tissue was dry.🙄
Poor mother didn't stand a chance and that, within itself makes it horrible on so many levels!
Another observation.... Sidney might have her Family fooled she DID NOT fool the Jury! Good job Jury 👍
Thank you Lady Justice !
The defense made a mockery of mental illness. The jurors saw through the “experts” . Prosecution ask for the max. Judge please don’t go soft on this woman.
These news anchors seem to feel bad for Sydney. Why??? She beat her own mother with a frying pan and then stabbed her. It was vicious and she was not insane!!! The jury got it right!!!
Parent's, discipline your young children and make them accountable, because of you don't, they turn out with zero consequences in life, and expects instant gratification. Sydney exploded into a rage all because her lies were unravelled and probably for the first real time her mither called her bluff, and called the University!
Thank you jury from all the Mothers that would give their life for their daughters.
What I can't get is that if my daughter was killed by my granddaughter, I could not forgive her or want her to be without punishment.
You can still love her but must be held accountable for their horrendous actions!
Wonderful!! Finally, a just verdict. Now give her a sentence she so richly deserves. Took her mother's life simply to cover up her lie.
As someone who has mental illnesses, I'm glad the jury called it right. Those of us who struggle with mental illness often wrongly assume most of us are dangerous because so many people try to get off on an insanity plea. There are very few cases of people who comit crimes due to strong mental disease.
Hats off to this prosecution office for not caving in to her family delusions. They clearly believe Sidney and they are being blinded by the tragedy and selfishness, while not thinking about how easy she can snap again and hurt another innocent victim or even themselves!
Her lawyer is a lot creepy, saying he loves her. Gross. Not professional at all.
He loves this murderer? Ok?
@@marthaduran6010 I guess
he should take her home. Use her as a babysitter for his kids.
Thank You

These were actual tears. Finally. Unfortunately, they were for herself, not her mother. Justice was served for Brenda. ⚖️ 🙏
I have to wonder if Brenda was liked in that family. It seems no one from the family stood up for her. I hope this case will be a lesson for those who murder and think they can get away with claiming insanity.
She's a young woman, and her family don't want to see her behind bars. That, unfortunately is their problem that they need to work through. She murdered her mother in such a horrible way and just because she has followed the rules while out on bail does not change the fact of what she did. Brenda was murdered by her own daughter. Her family are not their for justice for Brenda breaks my heart. The way her father and her grandmother answered some of the questions was obvious that they wanted her off the hook from going to prison. Does this family know how many other families feel the same way when their child went to far and they to will use everything they can to keep their child from prison? Brenda went through a hell of pain leading up to her death, at the hands of a little monster. If people can forgive her that's great, but it dose'nt change what she did to her mother and that is not acceptable and is highly against the law.
As someone who grew up with a schizophrenic and witnessed many psychotic episodes… she took a cast iron skillet and hit her with it before picking up the knife. She then proceeded to ‘stage the crime scene.’ When someone’s in a psychotic episode they don’t need to stage the crime because they truly don’t believe they did something wrong during the episode.
Truth
She went to the kitchen to get a knife! Time went by and she kept trying to kill her mother in the rage fit! Entitled brat!
Exactly.. well said. I have a friend whose daughter is schizophrenic, and at times threatened to kill him. This girl's behavior didn't fit with, any schizophrenic behavior, I've heard of... it's a horrific tragedy... 💔 Leaving a lot of ppl in pain. ..
Thank you for clarifying!
Correct !!!!
That's the most emotion she has shown. This was never about Brenda it's always been about Sydney. May Brenda rest in peace finally.
Jury served the verdict right.
Jury got this right. What took them 8 1/2 hours??? This WOMAN was not used to being confronted by her " Best friend" mother. When her mother finally did she couldn't handle it. Her tears are for herself. Thank you jurors!!!
I have to agree with you.
Thank you to the jury ! This mother lost her life in a horrible evil way at the hands of her own daughter !!! This girl knew what she was doing. Mother’s & daughters do not always see eye to eye. But in life , we work through these things. We do not murder our loved ones or any other person at that ! Justice has been served. She can think about her actions behind bars !!!!! RIP Brenda.
Thank you to the jury!! You got it right, - justice prevailed by this verdict of "guilty" on all counts. May Brenda rip.
