I can’t believe the awful way her family was treated during the aftermath of her murder and throughout the trial. Reprehensible decisions by the judge!
thats md for you
It happens a lot more than people would like to believe
People still use the word awful? Hmmm interesting
@@lancelotkillz 🤓
Absolutely! That judge needed his ass kicked and removed from the bench! He was an insensitive idiot!!!
Then to hear that TWO separate judges charged those monsters in the same manner, I was enraged all over again! I'm just happy that another judge resentenced them appropriately!
I cried so hard when I heard that Stephanie's mother waited that whole trial to say a few words for her baby and the judge denied her even that small mercy. Sickening.
Really...? You cried over a yt video?
@@nickyblue4866 Really? you must've got hit in the head with the stupid stick huh
@@nickyblue4866 really u got offended over somebody else’s life choice?
@@nickyblue4866 If you’re unmoved by other peoples suffering then that’s a you problem.
@@nickyblue4866
Those murderers felt the same way that you appear to feel; Nothing! The making of a monster step 1: Don’t care about anything
Her poor family! They endured absolute hell in the loss of their daughter and then were betrayed by the authorities afterwards. I’m so disgusted by how badly they were all let down, including Stephanie’s siblings.
"No one would have imagined that a broken down car would be the catalyst for her death". That line gave me chills. It is fu***ng INSANE to think that, maybe, had she not driven into that ditch, she could have possibly still been alive today. Probably with a husband, children & grandchildren & had a normal life. So scary how a single moment in time can change life forever.
She was wasted. Drink drivers cause crashes.
@@johnstory2996 Yeah she was clearly trashed. 3-4 drinks is more than enough to do it.
Same I got goosebumps down my back!
She was so responsible; she wouldn't think of sleeping it off at her friend's house. One decision changes everything.
And literally one suburb away!
This is one of the saddest stories I've ever heard. The idea that the judicial system so obviously and unapologetically gave more credence to the disgusting men who took this beautiful girl's life than they gave to her heartbroken family should infuriate any decent human being. Thank you for showing so much respect to the victim and her family.
This is absolutely terrible. The poor girl was tortured and then the law tortured her parents. I’m in total disbelief at the attitude of the judge and the lawyers. Disgraceful and very upsetting.
I cannot BELIEVE they wouldn’t allow Stephanie’s mother to make an impact statement. Truly disgusting I feel so sorry for her family!!!!!
Well, at least the one guy died in prison and the other is still in after 40 + years
Ditto.
I hope all the jurors and the judge and anybody who is a part of this case on court, feels shame every time their head hits that pillow. Thanks to the community that roasted that sentence.
Wow, this is enraging!! Hope the judges and the defense lawyer met with a lot of misfortune later in their lives. So sad for Stephanie and her family.
Yes. I thought the same thing! Sorry, NOT sorry.
I find those who leave destruction in their wake. Fate smiles upon.
I do not wish misfortunes on them! I hope and pray 🙏 that they realized their horrible decisions..and the effect it had on this poor family..and they change their ways....if not I'm sure God will explain it to them!!!
Not sure. Jack's defender is still alive and can probably be written to, emailed or fucked with somehow. His name is Gary E. Bair and he retired from law in 2020. His website sings of his praises. Disgusting
@@Ihuicatl yeah, probably from all the scumbags he did such a great job of defending. Luckily they're not all this cunning and effective. Damn.
one of the most horrific examples of "justice" I have ever heard. the "Justices" were obviously the stock those monsters were bred from. I suspect family/political ties between the two we are not aware of. absolutely a dishonor of human beings
yes the judge in this case was awful.
Now y’all know how we feel
@@truartist5379 Who are the "we" you are alluding to? Blacks? You do realize that black judges exist, do you not, and that they are every bit as corruptible as any other race of judge? Goofball.
@@truartist5379huh? We, who?
This is unbelievably horrific what happened to the victim and the family. I get so invested with my emotions watching these true crime videos. My God. I just can’t even imagine…
Thank you to the ‘MONSTERS channel for consistently showing us these videos.
So after claiming they needed to kill her because she would be able to identify them.....
He proceeded to go tell anyone who would listen, what they did less than 24 hours later.....
And then the court
The fucking court......
Rest easy girl........ 💔
U fought so hard
Yeah psychopathic murderers aren't really known for their rational thinking 🤡
This has to be one of those case that gets me so angry at the system.
The victim and the family were treated like they were the killers
They were legit treated even worse than the killers...
I can’t imagine the unending torment it must be for family and friends, especially parents, to have to live with the knowledge of the suffering their loved one went through before their death. These types of horrific crimes create pain and trauma far beyond just the victim. What incredible people Stephanie’s family are to fight for future victims families despite their pain.
My story is extremely mild compared to the suffering in this case. My son committed suicide by hanging himself with a belt from the spindles on the stairwell leading up to his bedroom.He had just turned 15 a few days earlier. I only read the autopsy report once . No alcohol or drugs in his system. I can’t even write about how long it took for him to ….I just can’t. I try not to think about it.
This is so much worse, I don’t know how family and friends survive such horrific information their loved one suffered.
Therapists tell us to focus on the fact they are no longer suffering .
@Just Another Smith I'm so very sorry for your loss!! I cannot imagine but have friends who have lost son to suicide and other friends lost brother. Peace unto you on this journey.
@@GetCraftyLemons
TY I really just wanted to express just how horrific it must be for the family in this case. It’s hard to move past our loved ones last moments and what they endured.
@@justanothersmith6012 prayers for your strength and peace 🙏🙏💪❣️
@@justanothersmith6012 I'm so sorry
It’s hard to be a good person in a country that doesn’t value good people. I can totally identify with the victims’ siblings. I feel for the whole family.
You just condemned the entire country. But I'm sure that doesnt include you because you're a "good" person.
@JustADawg did you watch the video? Lol
@@RuminatingWizard imagines himself bringing subtle and nuanced discourse to RUclips comments 🤡
This country is trash. The medical system told me I was going to die and literally was just going to let it happen. Like in those movies and shows. All I needed was a kidney stone blasted and the stent they stuck in my kidney removed. Almost a year and me going septic I almost went to jail because it took me literally being the most evil and hateful person to get that surgery. I almost went to jail right from that hospital bed. So yeah. The country is crap. It might not use to be I don't know I am only 27 but now it's bad. I went through dystopia. The medical system showed me that. They said my urine was clean. It was black and smelled like a dead animal.
I thought I had heard it all until I heard he asked on his blog 'I need finances for art supplies'. How gross can you be. She was an artist. I am one myself and it is one of the only things that gives me joy and beaty. If my murderer said something like that, let alone if my family had to hear it... after 25 years he is still bullying them. This is so vile I honestly have no words. I am a hardened true crime fanatic, I even did my thesis and art (yes, art) project when I graduated in a museum about people like this, this monster asking for art supplies really hit me the wrong way.
This is absolutely tragic 😥 and the way the parents were treated was absurd...that being said I must tell you how much I love the way you narrate your stories your dark humor is not lost on me
HIS family?
WTF.
Thank you for sharing this video essay. All of your hard work, is very much appreciated. ❤
The way Stephanie’s family was treated is shameful, absolutely shameful.
I think that this case should have be re-heard. The family impact statements should be heard.
It should not have been up to a victim’s family to fight for victims rights.
What the feck is wrong with people.
Shame on the judge/s, and that lawyer for what they did to Stephanie’s parents, extended family and her friends.
There were more than 2 monsters involved in this crime.
Shame on all of you.
🙂🐿🌈❤️
Shameful
This trial really shows history that the 80s were otherworldly in so many ways. The judge in the first trial must've owed a favor to the defense attorney. They probably thought they could just do whatever they wanted and no one would pay more attention. But look out for Mr and Mrs Roper! Their actions turning their lives into advocacy are so brave and dedicated. They were truly a "force to be reckoned with." They still hold 5k races to raise funds and awareness. My heart goes out to this beautiful family and my prayers for their traumatized adult children.
I remember this story from a crime doc some years ago. The lovely Mother said she felt as though she'd been disemboweled when she learned what her daughter went through. As a Mother myself, I can relate.❤
Me too, when I listen to these I wonder if I would want to know if my kid was tortured...IDK I'm sure it would ruin whatever semblance of a life I'd have left
💔
The treatment of Stephanie's family prior to the trial, during and afterwards, was absolutely despicable.
If that Judge wasn't held accountable for his actions, then I hope his life was filled with immense pain.
I agree this is horrendous!! That judge is a heartless! GOD BLESS Stephanie's family💜
Always remember karma is a kick ass reality and it comes with a CAPITAL K!
I agree ..
Totally disgusting
I don’t wish pain on anyone - that’s was these two monsters did to Stephanie. But I agree that this judge was not wise and, for whatever reason, failed the victim and her family over and over and on so many levels.
He deserves to be removed from his position.
I don’t wish pain upon anyone because I am a decent person and I live with pain every single hour of every single day! Unless of course I could pass my pain to both the judge and defense attorney 😂
If you want to go down a rabbit trail, look into the DAs and judges. It's not pretty yet true. It's insane that Stephanie's family was excluded.
Stephanie went through so much pain. The parents went through so much mental anguish. Imagine not being able to attend your daughter's killers trial, disgusting! The justice system let them down.
This video infuriated me. What kind of judge jury and prosecuter was that??? Just disgusting.
And once again you handled this story with grace.
Omfg ! The prosecution, judge, and defence council in this case are reprehensible!
Sickening what that judge an attorney did to this family outrageous
These people who so callously destroy lives are so horribly wrong on so many levels. Such a tragic story.
Holy fuck! The prosecutors totally dropped the ball on this case 🤬
I lost my older sister to getting murdered. She was murdered by being shot just like Stephanie. And I can confirm what her mom said about her other siblings, losing an older sibling is gut wrenching; I’m 24 and I’m still lost and find myself wondering why god would let something happen to such a good soul like her. Still loving and living life but something like that will never leave you
@@justadildeau are you being a c*nt for the sake of being a c*nt? if so in the words of Giles *_GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE_*
@@justadildeau why I would talk about something so personal as in me losing my sibling, for clout. Get a life

@@jontaedouglas7244 I am so sorry. My deepest condolences to you and your family. I lost a loved one, too. Last year... It doesn't get better or easier but they would want us to do our best. Sending you big hugs! 💖💖💖
@@justadildeauyou're vile, get a life!
Thank you for not censoring words and downplaying the victims experience. I wish other true crime channels had that much respect
The way her family was treated by the judicial system is so disgusting, words fail me. Having had the misfortune of being in a position where I gave a victim impact statement before a court, I can honestly say it never once occurred to me that someone would EVER say I didn't have that right. I am eternally grateful to this brave family for fighting for what's right, it's so easy to see where Stephanie got her fighting spirit. I don't have to hope she's resting in peace, I know she is resting easily with a beautiful family honoring her memory in the most commendable way.
you see why so many of us did not speak out, we survived with our lives but new the system would not support our trauma back then. Thank-you for the work of posting , Rest In Peace Stephanie and all who eventually stood in solidarity with the loved ones.
The defense attorney, the prosecutor and the judge should sit on the bench right next to these monsters and await their well deserved DS.
God forbid something so evil happen to the judge presiding over the first trail, the defense attorneys, all the ploticians and everyone that was against this amazing family, I guarantee you every single one of them would feel exactly the way Stephanie's family and friends felt!
Thanks for this story, it is very important. I am left very disturbed by the treatment of the victims, by the judge, and by the prosecution. The only positive from this is the changes that were made to the system. Ms. Roper left a legacy that cost her her life and her family's dignity during the proceedings. I had hoped to hear that the judges had been fired.
I can't believe the awful way her family was treated during the aftermath of her muder and throughout the trail. The way the judge acted was truly disgusting. RIP Stephanie.🙏🕊❤🙏🕊❤🙏🕊❤
Love your personal sarcasticness! GTFOH is right. Unbelievable case! Never heard it before,so thank you for telling Stephanies and her family's story.
Entirely infuriating, I have to assume that the judge and the lawyer are criminals. Despicable, disgusting, feral, all them! Prayers for this young lady and her family 🙏
Thank you for being these cases to our attention. You've focused on so many cases I have never heard of and I appreciate that very much. I feel like, when we hear of these cases, the victims and the crimes against them aren't forgotten.
You realize this is fanfiction, right?
@@epstein_isnt_dead7726 is Epstein dead?
@@niani8359 do I really need to clarify that for you?
I live near a highway named after her and was waiting to hear the story behind it...thank you for being so insightful
I am so happy that the family and the greater part of the community fought and successfully changed the laws that so disgracefully protected the wrong people. Thank you ❤️
I'm glad they fought back so damn hard. Thank you for sharing this injustice.
11 1/2 years is a slap in the face to victims of a crime like this everywhere. Absolutely unjust. Anyone that took part in this case and helped in any way in coming up with this outcome should be jailed themselves....
I am at a loss for words… 💔 I mean, wtf.. how does the “judicial” system get away with this shit?!
Reasons why I'm skeptical about the judicial system. This case was ridiculous to say the least. I am so sorry this beautiful woman and her loving family had to go through this.
Our judicial system is a joke. First you've got the jury, a bunch of people don't want to be there and are probably pretty stupid like most of the general public. Then all the withholding of information during a trial. Nothing should be help back from the idiot jurors. Too many times important stuff about the criminal's record is kept out of the courts. The jury should know everything about the person on trial. It will usually speak volumes about the person overall character. Things need to change!
“One person can make a difference, and every person should try.” Beautiful words.
In a sad case, this was beautiful narration. Thank you for caring about a victim in the way you did.
Wtf! I don’t even understand how her parents were treated so horribly
Defense was more clever than the judge I think.
The Judge is a Psychopath...Probably been to epstein's Island
You do an amazing job on this channel. The way you give your honest opinion and the way you make the victims the real focus is great. As sad as these cases are it gives me hope for the world with people like you in it!
The treatment of the Roper family was unreal. That shouldn't have been legal, it's so shocking that victim statements weren't required and were allowed to be turned down.
This entire story is horrendous.
My 20 year old son was tortured and murdered by the police in Rio de Janeiro more than 10 years ago for no good reason. There is effectively no legal recourse in Rio.
~1,000 get murdered or disappeared every year here (in Rio)
I continue to wake-up angry.
So sorry for your loss❤️
💜💜💜
Oh my goodness! I am so sorry for your loss! I cannot believe the scumbags that murdered your son essentially got away with it! Appalling!
Stephanie's parents are some amazingly resilient people! God Bless them for all their hard work to help others and strive for change. It takes a huge heart to turn a tragedy into a force for good in this world. 💖💖💖
Here I am thinking "oh cool an episode from Maryland" without processing that it could be again one of the WORST things humans can do to another human being. Great episode as always.
The treatment of this family, actually made me Ill!!!! The absolute disregard for this victim and her family, how dear this state or ANY prosecutor, cop or judge decide the victim and her family were so unimportant!!! Disgraceful does not even cover it!
Accolades to Roberta for her voice and creating changes! Her statements were so very true and powerful! 👏
That was intense. I got so angry for her parents. Thank you for her story.
Get the eff out of here ! Thank You for speaking out for the victims ….
I'm sure I've heard this before... But, it has me so upset, I'm about to cry, how unfair
I was a teenager in PG County at the time, and I still live there. That was a horrific crime and was talked about years after it happened. Such a sad case. Thanks for covering it and remembering Stephanie.
As a maryland native, I call it piggy county
Thank you so much for the work you do in following up on the cases after court. Covering the failings of the judicial systems, the impacts on families, how laws are changed. Forever a fan of your channel for how much respect you pay to those who lost everything. Thank you Giles
the poor thing could've walked a mile back to her friend, all to not miss an opportunity to go shopping with her mother. so sad
I don’t understand that or why she sat in her car for hours, instead of walking less than a mile
Those judges are on my 'This is Monsters ' shit list .
Oh god poor Stephanie! I can't even imagine what she went through and the way her family was treated by the judge?! Despicable!
Thank you for this! Your videos are so informative 👏 this was a heart-wrenching story... the way the courts sided with the murderers... sick...
God bless people like this that make major changes for all of us.
This one is so haunting. Stephanie looks just like this woman I know.
I pretty much expect such reprehensible behavior from defense attorneys, especially when they KNOW their clients are drenched in blood and KNOWN to be guilty, but the fact the judge went along with that and betrayed Stephanie's family is even worse!
Such an unbelievable case! Not only the crime, but the way the family was treated throughout the trial process!! Thanks for covering!!
Horrific. So sad what happened to her. The way her parents were treated is totally disgusting and unforgivable!
Thank you Giles for telling her story. RIP to Stephanie 💔😢
I remember Foggy Bottoms. The Bayou was also a great hang out for live music. It can be very creepy leaving Georgetown as a young female alone. I got stranded down there. It was one of THE most terrifying nights of my life for sure. What Stephanie's family went through with this judicial system is horrific.
Love the way you bring these horrific stories to us, knowledge, compassion for the families and you don’t hold back calling out bullshit
Dude, I just wanted to let you know that you do a phenomenal job putting these together. Your research into all the far reaching consequences of these crimes is above and beyond what most people do. Keep up the good work. And thank you.
Poor Stephanie may she rest in peace. The judge and defense seem more than shady, how awful it's infuriating how the family was treated. 11 years im sorry, pardon? I'm proud they kept fighting it shouldn't have been that way. My heart hurts right now.
This unfortunately sounds so similar to the things happening in this country. What happened to this family is absolutely repulsive. It's great to see that they were able to effect change from it and find some peace
I agree.
Ppl need to hear this video.
If you make just one comment under someone else’s comment it will help spread the algorithms.
The corrupt justice system is 😵💫🥴🤢🤮!
I can’t imagine the pain the family went through…my heart breaks for them!
What a huge failure of the legal system. And Roberta Roper taking her pain and channeling it into protecting other victims and their families...that is grace under pressure, strength in the face of adversity, and a human being that truly wanted to make lasting changes. Victim advocacy is important, especially with the corruption within our court rooms and prison systems.
Enraging episode, but also an unintentional call for us to protect one another. Very well done, thank you!!
This was infuriating to listen to, I'm just appalled. Her parents endured absolute hell, yet still pursued so that other victims families would fare better in our criminal justice system. This whole debacle seems typical in some states, that care more about the criminals than the victims.
I feel the Justice system in this story are also monsters. So sorry for her family.
I absolutely love (hate the sadness any victim ever has to endure for even 10 seconds) your videos from the moment I found this channel quite a while back..... I thoroughly enjoy how you handle the information and you are able to cover much more information and such to create a longer video that I appreciate vs some other channels I also enjoy that cover similar subjects and whatnot. I love hearing your narration and how you always wrap it up with the message towards anyone who might need help and do all that as respectfully as I could ever ask of someone trying to cover this stuff. Many many thanks for doing what you do! Have a wonderful day everyone! ❤️
The treatment of Stephanie’s family after this horrible loss is just so despicable. Those judges deserve an eternity in hell, along with the depraved murderers. Stephanie fought heroically, R.I.P. beautiful, brave woman. 🌹
You post at the best times my guy
I'm up at 3:21 am and can't sleep. Thank You! 😘🥰
I feel you. I should be asleep too but can't
This happened in my home town. I was only 7 years old, but I remember it well. It was a very small town at the time, and every parent was shocked and terrified. When they those animals came up for parole, we were shocked and terrified again. They didn’t get it, but the fact that it was possible was insane after what they did to her.
Diabolical 🤯! That poor family was tormented and abused by the judicial system on top of losing their precious daughter! Im glad they were able to make significant changes to the system for the future but it still sucks that they were treated so horrendously 😔 Rest peacefully Stephanie
Thanks for all you do.
My heart goes out to the Ropers! I'm glad they found a voice and put forth such awesome laws! It's just sad it had to be at their daughters death.
This one is both heartbreaking and infuriating. This poor family.
I love your comments while explaining this ridiculous case. I feel the same way & I’m sure most of us do. This poor family!! I have a feeling this happens too often.
GOOOOOD MORNING MONSTER'S FAM!!! I hope you are all having an excellent week and enjoy yet another story that reminds us to hug all of those close to us! Sending love and blessings to you all.
Good Morning! Love and blessings to you as well
@@juditholivares597 Thank you Judith
Stay safe out there bud 🙏
Oh yeah? So that’s why you watch these videos huh to remember how to be close to people ? Stfu you’re a sick twisted person who likes to watch real life murder for entertainment. Stop acting like you have a rationale for watching these videos beyond that. It’s horrific that these videos are mined for views and people watch them as entertainment. You all make me sick. And yes. I’m watching it too. But I’m not celebrating it I’m ashamed that I even want to watch it unlike all you weirdos wishing eachother a good week and saying good morning. Get a life!! Log off!! Go outside!
Good morning Kandi.Have a great blessed day.
I’ve always said that would the judge in cases like this, or any crime against a child, would the judge have the same view and hand down the bullshit sentences if it was their own child? Here in England paedophiles get given suspended sentences in some cases for the most horrendous crimes. Makes my piss boil.
I just found your channel and I love your layout. It was exactly what I was looking for. Someone that will talk about true crime and gets to the point and keeps it interesting. Awesome job. 👏
I'm glad I discovered your channel. Your stories bring great respect to the victims. The passion you speak with... is appreciated more than I can convey.
The judge and the defence were an absolute disgrace in this case. Judge especially since they're supposed to be impartial. This whole thing seemed to be entirely focused on the perpetrators and what they wanted, as if they were somehow the victims. I can't understand the logic. The worthless judge was ignoring the victim and her family, it's so disgusting it doesn't even feel real. He really should have been fired and thank god they managed to get the further sentences for these monsters as well as getting the laws changed.
Wow that was insanely inappropriate of the judge, the lawyer & the guilty, its disgusting on many levels & terrifying that this happens, they should all be fired & jailed...the 2 monsters deserve nothing, defently not to breathe, in my opinion...thank you for your content & hard work...rest with ease sweet Stephanie, you are remembered correctly, I'm thinking of your mother & your loved ones...big hugs to anyone victimized & suffering, also to anyone that has good intentions
Im not suprised how poorly the system failed her family, it honestly so upsetting that her family found out the way they did and had to go through so much struggle to see even a smidgen of justice. This genuinely broke my heart and wish the best for her family. Im not a religious person but i hope her father was able to reunite with Stephanie.
Not just the judge. Their lawyer is also despicable
Thank you for speaking the victim’s family! I hope law students have to study how badly the judge botched this up. And I agree, there’s definitely gotta be some quid pro quo happening
Good morning monsters and Jiles☕
This case still haunts me. I was 21 years old and lived in NOVA and it was all over the local news and papers. I can still see her anguished mother on TV and it was heartbreaking. Not only did the Ropers lose their beloved daughter, they also had to fight for justice. Her murder was savage and it should have been much easier to convict those MONSTERS. Roberta Roper was the ultimate mama bear. Through her pain and anguish she got justice, changed laws and kept Stephanie’s memory alive.
You always do a fantastic job in centring the victim and their family but you really outdid yourself on this one 👏
