This woman’s comments weren’t for her son; they were for herself and her pride.
I agree. She doesn’t want to be looked at as a bad mother.
@@GoodVibesNewlevel2023 too late for that.
Exactly, she will tell herself that til the day she dies.
She'll be repeating this nonsense to her church women's Bible study for the rest of her life.
You're absolutely right.
"A mother knows her child". Nothing is further from the truth. I've lost count of the times I've seen mothers deny behaviors EVERYONE else sees.
Not even dads know their sons as well as they think. Let alone a mother. If anything they keep things hidden from mom to save her from hurt That my friends is an ignorant mother
Mothers be like , “My perfect angel!” when their kid is really the Devil.
It's not a purposeful denial that a mother feels or displays. It is truly an innocent one. It's difficult for Mom's to absorb a charge like that when they have not ever been aware of any wrongdoing. But we all know that our kids don't tell us everything. And he could very well be a fall guy. It happens quite a lot. Bottom line is unconditional love comes with lots of trust and when she finds out he did it if in fact that is true, it will break her heart.
And its happening more and more and this is why the world is falling into pieces.. and darkness is reigning. Just like Eve who dragged Adam into her mess and nearly into the pits of tartarus.

The scariest part of this is that her blindly saying her son did not do it, shows exactly who in the long run caused this crime. Enabling, encouraging, and facilitating her sons actions.
Yes indeed ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Probably the murderer.
What do you expect? They never take responsibility for their actions. It's never their fault, they're just being targeted by the mean ol racist cops. Disgusting animals
Exactly. Well said
She thought she was helping.
If you have been a teacher for any length of time, you come to know quickly that the parent doesn't have a clue what their child is capable of.
Please talk about it.
His mom wouldn’t have talked to a white judge like that.
She literally went on to try and praise her own parenting after her son was found guilty...man, what?
It's a tricky situation. There are a tiny % of innocent people that get charged and go to jail. Yes being found guilty is pretty much a guarantee, but unless they recorded this dude killing the person we may never know.
Exactly, she so disgusting
@@cassidydonshae398 2 options i think of why she was saying he's innocent
Denial of him doing it
or He actually didnt do it
She gets pulled over in the way home for driving wrong way, probably same approach. Reality is always negotiable and up for interpretation.
@@skillo6399 I hear you, but the evidence in this case is solid. There’s video of her entering his car while he was driving, the car was soaked with her blood, and he tried to sell her phone the next day-among many other pieces of evidence.
She's been making excuses for him his entire life, and it caught up.
✔️
agreed.
Exactly! For some mothers their sons can do no wrong. That's a part of the problem
Well said
How u came to that comclusion?
“Alright, okay.” Ma’am, this is shameful. As a mother you’ve failed to raise an upright human being. You cannot hold yourself accountable and you cannot hold your son accountable.
Sociopathy/psychosis can set in from teen years, we don't know why but from experience that has been apparent. It's not ALL the parents. But in most cases, it does have a lot to say.
For instance.......... this man PROBABLY had some SEVERE red flags and the mother _completely_ ignored them like a dissonant idiot. Even IF he was "innocent" this woman is an idiot. You know nothing. Just because you're his mother means nothing in terms of credibility. In fact it means LESS. Depending on the demeanor (objectivity/reason) of the mother.
She’s not accountable to her son’s actions, no matter how you raise someone, they have free will and agency in their own decisions. For whatever reason he chose to do what he did, and whether she was a good mother or not has no bearing on that. Plenty of people that come from “good” families do evil things such as this. Plenty of people who come from “bad” families grow up to be well-rounded individuals.
@@XTAKU. yeah she is not accountable for his actions
@@XTAKU. she is accountable in being a parenting failure
@@killerbonzai1 My best friend in middle school had the best parents. I loved staying at his house and his mom was my second mom. His sisters both have degrees. He is in prison for smuggling and attempted vehicular manslaughter. People make their own choices. So if you buy a car and it turnes out to be a lemon, your moms to blame for not hugging you enough?
Delusion is a hell of a drug.
"A mother knows her child" is the most overused saying in times like this
Yup , its like on a smaller scale at school "my son would never bully anyone" yet he is bullying children in plain sight
@@Stunl3y right parents have to understand your kids don't behave the same at school or in the presence of friends as they do at home
Then you're as guilty as he is lady.
@@ryateo1 so you’re saying she is a killer aswell?
@@prokeyavaimausa9412 was he replying to the original comment cause if he was then his comment wouldn't really make sense the original commenter was stating a fact
Such a narcissistic argument. "This man is innocent based on the sole fact that he had me for a mother. I did such a good job raising him, that he cannot use his free will, and choose to do wrong."
I feel like it's pretty standard in cases like these. The parent rarely ever believes that his/her child committed the act
🤣🤣🤣
It's the same as saying someone couldn't be a bad person because they believe in jesus or something like that, as if religious folks can't commit crimes or something.
She trained him.
@@JacksonHoulihan exactly
The problem is this woman's ego. She can't fathom that HER child would have the audacity to act against the way SHE raised him because apparently she was such a "good" mother. This makes her look bad and she can't handle it. Probably a narcissist.
“I know by the way I raised him.” The pride and arrogance is her is astounding.
"A mother knows her child"
My mom thought my older sister was gonna graduate from university and be the perfect daughter, she thought I was gonna end up in prison at 17 because of my anger issues.
I'm in a University prep course and my sister is waiting on child abuse charges.
Parents can be so biased against their kids it's unreal.
funny how life works
You got that right, hopefully you can get your degree and make a good life for yourself, and then forgive your mom.
@@henryhenry3832 Thanks man👌 and I forgave her along time ago tbh, the only person I'll hold a grudge against is my sister for hurting my nephew.
My mom was just a desperate, wishful and hopeful parent, but she's gotten much better and has apologized for it many times.
similar with me, sisters a wash out who sits at home smoking weed and doing nothing i’ve just enlisted for the army. low expectations are what drive me, go kick everyone’s to the curb💪🤙
i have a friend who's family showed favoritism to his other siblings, i listened & believe him. i think a lot of parents have favorites despite what they might say & it registers with the kids & can add to strife, jealousy etc.
thats why it's sad when extended families are far apart & cant visit more, one child might have affinity with aunts/uncles/grandparents more than with a parent, & a kid will never get that time back so please be mentors if u can, ya? what is that called, pay it forward? pay it back, i don't think id have made it thru many of the difficulties if it hadnt been for the love from extended family & family friends who, looking back, must have had some understanding.🌱👣🐾🌿🕊️
The amount of times she said ‘Me” “I” “Mine” suggests this woman wasn’t trying to stick up for her son. She was trying to convince everyone she didn’t fail as a parent.
@@swishfish8858 its not that serious jeez
Some people have great parents and a good upbringing and still do horrific things.
@@swishfish8858 Ummm no.
While the majority of terrible people typically come from terrible parenting (or lack of parenting), there are some people that are born with mental deficiencies in terms of their capacity to feel empathy. These individuals, no matter how well they are parented, won't develop said empathy and have a high probability to do terrible acts.
Additionally, there are people who sustain trauma later in life, after they're an adult, that causes them to do terrible things.
It happens. To say this person is objectively wrong, is in fact, objectively wrong.
@@swishfish8858 I know people who are wonderful humans that came from bad parents. It's not all or nothing man.
@@swishfish8858 I initially thought you were a troll. Now I see you are just pathetic...
Respect to the judge. He wasn’t having none of it. I’ve never heard of a case with sooooo much evidence stacked up against the defendant like this one. Again, RESPECT to the judge for how he shut the bs down!
Sounded more like an opportunity to tell everyone how good of a mother she is
Her self-absorbed "I'm a good mother so he's innocent" is the reason he continued to violently hurt innocent human beings. She really did enable this behavior.
She's trying to cope with the disaster and her wounded pride.
We are all self absorbed.
@@zombeaver69 not as much as these creatures.
@@hus390 , yeah , not gonna hate on Mom.
Thats some armchair psychologist comment. Cant blame the mother for the crimes of the son.
What I ask myself is what kind of mother does someone have blaming another mother for the actions of her son
"He has been convicted by the jury. I am not listening to any claim that he did not do this. You are not a witness." Good job judge!
That's ridiculous. A mother knows her son better than anyone else in the world. If she said he didn't do it, then that should be taken into consideration during the deliberation. The fact that they excluded her testimony about her son's innocence should be grounds for a mistrial.
@@troyd4235 the son's already been convicted...
@@jeddhanson3984 Exactly my point. If the mother was allowed to testify to the jury, before they deliberated, and was able to explain to them how her son is innocent, then they probably wouldn't have convicted him.
@@troyd4235 if his defense lawyers saw the same value as you do in having her testify in her son's murder trial, then they would have. She couldn't contribute anything to his defense that would substantiate innocence.
@@Jen-lc5yc how not? She has known him since he was a baby. What better witness could you possibly have?
'He din do nothin, he a good boi' - Every black mothers statement on their children when they have committed a crime. Zero accountability as per usual.

This judge is top notch. He showed it again in the Murdaugh case.
Some parents will never admit there kid is wrong

If he's innocent then who was driving HIS car, using HIS phone, had HIS knife, was wearing HIS cloths and HIS shoes, and put that poor woman's blood in HIS car? When his girlfriend asked him why there was blood all over his car he said "mind your business" and then proceeded to clean the blood from his car. Sounds innocent to me.

Great question
I’m glad the judge didn’t fold under political and media pressure.
Thank you judge and fellow jurys.
Don’t be the type of Mother that says,” My child would never....”, because they will prove you wrong 😑
I raised five kids. They are decent loving children and adults. I would be as shocked as she is, but if the evidence is overwhelming, I would just have to concede.
Every time
“Watch over Philip today Lord, or he will betray u”

Amen to that.
When he acted up in school she probably took his side over the teachers. She’s part of the problem
I’d like to speak my mind but I might get in trouble
Speak it loud & proud!! I wanna hear the truth. Call it the way you see it & NO sugar coating.
She don’t know jack. She is clueless!
That may be true but there's nothing inherently negative about standing up for your kid against feminist public school teachers.
I think every parent stands up for their children
When you are a "good mother" you don't ever feel or say you are one
true
No one is raised to be a killer or criminal, It’s a choice. Being raised properly can definitely lower the chances of people making these choices but never totally eliminate it.
"He's a good person, very respectful, and he respects others."
_Ma’am, it took the jury less than an hour to convict him of murder and kidnapping_ .
CRIMINAL parents Need to Pay!!!
Wheres Your Proof?
Typical
Pfft yeah, ask Samantha about the 120 times he respected her before dumping her body in the woods.
While true. It’s understandable why she doesn’t want to believe it:
If he committed murder, he did it with love and respect - he's a deeply caring young man.
This is actually embarrassing. Look at all of the evidence piled against him. Stop babying your GUILTY son.
It will hit her eventually and it will be the most painful thing she ever went through
A mother never thinks she has raised a monster . This is why broken homes are such a tragedy .
Its pathetic how many parents turn a blind eye to their kids. I see it all the time, its sickening!
it is sad and I feel sorry for her because no mother wants to think her child is capable of such a crime or any crime. He took a life instead of protesting your child's innocence speak on how you fell sorry for the dead persons family they can never see, touch or hear from their child again and you can
@@jivonniasmith9770 Listen, BOTH families are suffering because of this guy's heinous crime of murder. Families ALWAYS suffer the most. The mother is having a hard time with this. His mother is in shock, pain & agony inside and denial...you KNOW he probably lied to his mother saying he didn't kill the lady. That mother is going through HELL ALSO all because OF her son and she clearly loves her son. She can't think of the other family right now, SHE is thinking about herself and her baby. She'll probably need counseling just like the victim's family to get through this. His mother did NOT kill the victim so leave her be...you cannot blame her for her pain and emotions as she tries to make sense of it and accept the fact HER SON killed this woman mercilessly. Leave her be and stop attacking her, dayum! You have no compassion for family members.
Why didn't his FATHER make a statement?
Because there isn’t one… duhh. An awwww poor Nate! No father in the home made him turn out to be a killer!!
@user-nj9db2tg9w @YernBelfus was just being sarcastic. Of course there is no father present. There hardly ever is in their community's.
Now there's a mother questioning whether or not she raised him correctly. Some people are just delusional and can't believe they could do anything wrong that would lead someone to make such terrible choices. It doesn't take much to damage someone's psyche. Just a little bit, every single day. My guess she cares more about herself than her children, and she's trying to save face, because she believes bad kids reflect upon her personality. Which is funny, because if she fully realized that from beginning, she really would've paid attention to him and raised him correctly.
Or she didn’t do anything to “damage” him and her son is just a vile person and a murderer who is the ONLY person responsible for his own actions. Plenty of people are abused, neglected , or get their feelings hurt by their parents and they don’t murder people
"And a mother knows her child....." This lady is sadly bullshitting herself. My mom barely had a clue what kind of trouble I was getting into when I was young.
Not All famillies are like your family :) he could be innocent, only god knows that, every year thousands of innocent people are put behind bars.
@@ixthebest8325 they found the murder weapon on him. He ran from the cops.
Ikr? My momma said I was a good boy, but honestly, I stepped on the grass even though the sign told me not to.
@@ixthebest8325 What are the odds he's innocent? 2%? From the look on the judge's face, that's probably about right. But go ahead and soothe yourself with that 2% possibility. Thousands of "innocent" murderers are not put behind bars.
Had the judge not been Black, this would have caused a riot (literally) across the nation-with the headline, “Morally corrupt judge silences the courageous mother of an innocent young man.”
That soft-spoken, sweet looking little old lady raised a monster and I can see how it happened. She has defended him his entire life, he has never been held accountable for his actions because "a mother knows her child" and "he's a good boy."
Unfortunately, many mothers will coddle their sons, but in the same breath, not do it for their daughters.
@@PrePre_ exactly!
You don't know her behind the scenes.
How do you know
She’s not soft spoken and she’s certainly not sweet. Her son ripped a woman apart and she’s like “no no not mah boy” lady sit your ass down.
I don't think anybody can know that they have the capacity to accept that their child is a murderer. I feel for this woman, but also good on the judge for putting a stop to this disrespect towards the victim and their families. She needs to handle her own denial and grief away from the court.
A friend of mine with several children used to say, "A child will make a liar out of you every time". Until I had my own, I never really understood that saying. Now I do.
A mother doesn’t know her child. He only showed her one side of himself.
I don’t believe that at all!!! I’m not a mother, but I’ve witnessed and know first hand how mothers will turn a blind eye and be silent to their sons wrongdoing!
@@chocolatenikki That’s what I was trying to say. She only knows what he wants her to see. I’ve seen more than my share of monster children and yet the mother vehemently deny even in the face of overwhelming evidence. I guess some people can’t change the way they’ve constructed that person in their mind.
This is why mothers can’t raise sons alone . They refuse to accept they can do any wrong .
@@samoday2992 Fathers are no different.
@@chocolatenikki some . But most of us know what little shisters we were . We know our kids are not angels and no different from ourselves much like moms know daughters can be devious . It’s like looking In the mirror !
Her son needs to come clean to his mother. She’s not going to stop loving him.
Rikki Tikki Tavi,
She been taking up for her baby and believing his lies for over 20 years. She ain’t going to stop spoiling him now.
the lie he told his parents initially is the weakest lie ever. They believed it then and they believe it now. It's truly sad.
Mothers sometimes er just wont or not understand why
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then you got a murderer duck. Period.
I do believe that she knew very well that her son did all this, but she needs to do that ... . It is normal for the mothers to stick with her own children.
My oldest son got in trouble when he was 17 because he was with some friends who vandalized the swimming pool of a motel and a school bus that was parked there. The whole thing was on camera and my son was present, but not actively involved in the activities. I told him he should have told them to stop. He said he did. I said, then you should have walked away. He was held legally responsible along with the two boys who physically did the damage because he was present while the crime was committed. He is making monthly payment towards restitution. I never had one moment of thought of trying to make excuses for him or get him out from under his responsibility for being there and witnessing it and not stopping it. I understand that, as a seventeen year old, it would be difficult to stand up against two friends and try to get them to stop criminal behavior. However, as I told him, he needed to walk away and report what was going on so it could be stopped. I’m confident that my son has learned his lesson BECAUSE HE FACED CONSEQUENCES for his limited “participation” in what transpired that night. Shielding your children from the consequences of their actions and making excuses for them doesn’t help them. It just turns them into shitty, entitled people.
This is what happens when you don’t Hold your children accountable for their actions.
She just can’t bring herself to terms with the fact that she is the mother of someone who would do this.
In my experience, mother's can never take responsibility for their bad mothering. They all think they are the best mothers and their kids are angels. What's scary is that these people vote.
If it were me, my mom would say " he's a grown man, and he has to pay for what he did".
Can't blame her. Must be difficult.
This is a case of Neglect and refusal to take accountability.. You are raising a human being that has free will
Naw she can't come to term that she raised him and lead him down the path to become a murderer.
"He's such a good boy, he would never do that, because he's MY son!"
Every delusional and ignorant mother, of every cold blooded bully and killer, ever. The evidence against this guy was damning. Prehaps these mothers are partly to blame for refusing to believe their sons can do wrong. My mother knows exactly what I'm capable of, and continously called me out for my behaviour. She always stood by me, but she never made excuses for me! Hold your children to account, rather than living in denial and burying your head in the sand!
zero motive and they are unsure the DNA matched him. Not saying he is innocent but there is questions as the motive. Serial killers generally start a lot younger.
Most of these single mother's dont hold themselves accountable, how can they keep their sons accountable? Besides, at certain age, young men really do not listen to their mothers anymore. You kind of need father for that. But, oh wait, that is not politically correct oppinion, now is it? Gvmnt paying single moms to raise criminals. Ooh, we are so progressive!
@@Dioss1 are you for real? There was more than enough evidence to convict him, including CCTV of him picking her up, and his blood soaked car.
@@rockmcdwayne1710 I agree. Boys need a good father figure. I honestly believe I went off the rails because I didn't have one, so I instead looked up to people who didn't have my best interests at heart and steered my in the wrong direction. But this woman sounds like the sort of mother who believes her son can't do wrong, and when boys don't face any consequences at home, they feel like that gives them a licence to do whatever tf they want and they'll get away with it.
@@FEWGEE1 Problem with boys and single mothers at certain age is that, they really dont give a crap what mom says. I guess we all have experienced this with our friends hanging around. Saying something like: ''My mom told me to be at home at 9pm''. And what you get as an answer is: ''What you a moma's boy?''. Or sissy or pick any other word. Doing what your mom tells you dont have that same ring on it compared with: ''If im not home by 9pm, my dads gonna beat the crap out of me''!
“He was such a good boy”. So sick of that statement.
That mother is part of the reason we have no accountability in this country. Her little angel walks on water.
She’s been making excuses for him all his life. This is why he got to this point.
Exactly
True.
probably
also tf was she trying to say by "he's an active church member"? in human history there's certainly been more religious murderers then non religious murderers, just look at europe in the last 2000 years and like all of recorded north american history

I have been a lawyer for over 15 years. I can say with certainty that parents do not know their children nearly as well as they think they do.
Sad thing is, his mother believes that the way she raised him makes him incapable of doing what he did. It's not about HER choices; it's about HIS.
Exactly….. she probably did raise him very well. But the outside influences she can not control. She did her part. He had choices to make and paths to choose. He has chosen his path.
Well her choices unfortunately led to raising the type of man she raised 🤷🏽♂️

I think there's plenty of judges like this one. I don't know why he gave her the opportunity to speak in the first place? Granted, it was probably prior to his sentencing, but everyone could've guessed what his mom was going to say. I think the defense attorney could've done better coaching her or even found an expert to provide a character evaluation to help lessen the sentence.

If your opinion differs that is fine but to me it seems you are fishing to turn this into an issue specifically of race.
I was involved in organized crime in my younger days and in crown court my mum would verbally say 'my son would never do that!' The judge would advise her to keep quiet! I was usually guilty of what I was accused of but kept silent. Most times I was found not gulity due to CPS and Police messing up their own case against me. My dear aged mother like most mothers falsely believe their sons are Angelic in attitude and deeds.
She says these things as protection and in defense of herself as a mother. Children must have consequences for bad behavior. That is how they know what is or isn’t acceptable. It is far better for the parent to do the punishment than for society to do it. Discipline is love.
“By the way I raised him…” A parent can raise up a child as politely and pleasantly as they know how!! A child still have the choice & free will to choose to do wrong…your child is GUILTY 🤷🏾♀️
Exactly...It's a conscious choice.
She probably did raise a good child...problem with that, he was a man when he committed this act of crime.
YES !!
@Ms Renee...💯 I always say that parents can try their utter most best to raise their kids, he will be an angel in your presence the moment he is away from you, sh🔒t happens, and yes they as parents feel guilty; thinking they failed their kids somehow, but it's not, kids will eventually do what they see fit. Just be happy you did your best moms & pops.
Allowing the child to work through their anger and make choices when their young and being there for them early on instead of demanding a child act and be a certain way without expression of themselves will create a situation just like this one. One filled with anger and violence. Autonomy is real. Being able to make the right choices is taught very early on.
His mother clearly raised him to be a narcissist by teaching him he can do NO wrong. Her blatant refusal to accept the facts about her son put him where he is.
She is in denial, in a way she raised him to be who he is - a criminal, and not accepting what he did. If she had any conscience she should ask forgiveness from the victim's family, and by crying about what her son did, but she does not have any conscience, she is not concerned about the other family, she is concerned that her boy was found guilty by a jury of his peers... sorry "caring mother" you did not raise him good; and while you are not guilty of what he did, you are guilty for not accepting his deed and repent.
Well freakin said!
Spot on! You definitely understand how a narcissistic mother creates a full-blown narcissist in their own child. Good parenting INCLUDES holding your child accountable for their actions and taking responsibility for how you've failed as a parent when your child turns out to be an anger-excitation rapist.
Sadly, I doubt if this was his first rape and murder.
Yup
*Applause
This is EXACTLY why the young men and boys in this country are in jail and committing crimes. Parents like THIS who refuse to see their child for who they really are cuz you don’t want to admit you messed up as a parent. Being a parent is owning up to mistakes not denying them to the point you push your child to prison! IDIOT WOMAN!
That mother was beyond delusional.
Ok Mom...He was sooooo respectful he stabbed her over a 100 times.
Returned today 2/11/23 after finding out this is the same judge presiding over the State vs Alex Murdaugh case.
He was sooo respectful and caring, he drove around for several days with a car full of blood and ran from police????? Lord help us all, is she crazy??
@@harleypage5789 no he didn't drive around with her for several days. If I understood correctly...he drove around 66 miles with her bleeding out in the back seat.
@@bellie8009 that's even worse! Hes nuts, I don't understand why his mother is defending him
@@harleypage5789 only thing I can think is she's a Mother.
@@bellie8009 unfortunately, its sad
Seriously? "I raised him not to do this; therefore, he didn't."
Poor woman.
She knows he did it. Mother’s will always stand up blindly for their kid. Can’t take her word for anything.
I feel sorry for moms like her whose children do the unspeakable. She’s in denial.
Denial is a hell of a drug.
I really do feel bad for her, she doesn't want to believe he did anything bad even though deep down she knows. I imagine that no parent wants to believe their child is bad enough to commit any crimes so they deny it all
Children make their own Choices. She has to use denial to survive
"he went through high school and college"
Oh wow, what an accomplished young man. No one has ever completed either high school or college before, he MUST be innocent!
Smack down from the Judge immediately when she begins making excuses for her son, the killer.
Good Parenting is NOT 100%. A person still has to make an autonomous decision as to how they'll be in life. I feel for the victim's family and the fool's mother.
Johnathan Woods,
Somehow I just keep thinking that if she would’ve held her sweet little baby accountable all through his growing up years, this may not of happened.
She needs to realize that yes he did this heinous crime, hold him accountable and STILL love him unconditionally. Being a good mother does not mean denying his wrongdoings because you feel you raised him right. I feel for her and the mother of Samantha who also raised her right. And I feel the worst Samantha.
@@imstillright9261 maybe, but I think he just wanted a kill.
Johnathan Woods,
That’s possible.
The excessive amount of stab wounds indicate a personal rage. I wonder why he was so full of hatred?
Me too.
Is she friggin for real? Nobody's blaming her. Make peace with it. You're son is a monster, sorry. It's that simple.
👍👍

This is the same wonderful judge that adjudicated the Murdaugh trial. Such a wonderful legal and fair mind. Bravo.
Lady can't cope. I guarantee she used to always say the same crap whenever he was in trouble growing up. She probably never held him accountable for anything and look how it turned out. It's honestly a shame that everyone else can see how bad of a human he is, yet she can't.
No disrespect but now I see where he get "being in denial & believing his own lies come from" he's not innocent mam..he's a monster! My condolences to the victim's family 🙏🏽

@@jadedtoday1019 & now I see why ur name is "Lil" because ur thought process is very immature. Have a blessed day
@@jadedtoday1019 NO, you are the one who is wrong! Not every parent is without reason, not every parent would defend a “child” who is so OBVIOUSLY GUILTY! One can still love their offspring even when they have committed the most horrible crime. However, this woman effectively spat in the face of this poor woman’s family members with her words. She should be ashamed of herself! And you too for your defense of this stunt with your ill informed opinion!
@@jadedtoday1019 please please please don't have any children cause wow
I admire the way the judge handled this situation. He was firm and direct but at the same time respectful and not condescending.
Facts he couldve been a real ass about her reaction but he’s probably trying to put himself in a loving mothers shoes so he’s not pressing her
@@RJ-mh3ox I agree with you completely

@@aj897 although that statement is agreeable, don’t you worship crusaders? The biggest group of failures in military history? Talk about hypocrisy
This is not about knowing your child, this is about denial and the lack if responsibility.
With both parents set the stage for their children getting into trouble.
Well then where did all the blood come from that was in his car?
“A mother knows her child” is a bunch of bs. A mother has an image of what she thinks her child is, and that image is full of biases
Well said Ember Jaxx Well said.
Naw baby - some of us know, that's NOT true for all of us...
My mother didn't even know what I wanked to in middle school. There's a lot of things any child wants to hide from others, and there are things much more personal than even those.
Her mother does know their child. And most moms can tell you if their child has evil in them. Its just that most moms will defend their child no matter that evil.
Perfectly stated.
"He's a good person, very respectful, and he respects others." With all due respect, momma, he did not respect Samantha.
Kinda like how non-vegans are good people, very respectful and they respect others....with a murdered animal on their dinner plate. Non-vegans don't respect animals and are equally savage. At least this man had the guts to do the deed himself instead of paying someone else to do the violent act
@@NoInjusticeLastsForever agreed 100%

You're comparing cold blooded murder to someone that doesn't have the same diet as you. And FYI...millions of small animals are killed producing your vegetables. Your diet is killing animals that you don't even consume. #HYPOCRISY
If I were the judge I would have asked her "Of the 26,031 homicides last year, how many of the killer's mothers raised them to be a murderer?"
Another single mother that raised a stand up citizen.
"He's a loving child."
I'm sure the person he killed felt all the love in the world, miss.
He killed them with kindness
That boy is going to get plenty of “loving” in prison 😂
I dug through the comments till I found this.👏👏
Reminds me of Pinky the Cat
“He’s a loving child, he’s a good person”…… who on occasion kidnaps and murders people. 🙄
In all fairness, few parents would think their kids would grow up to be cold blooded murderers. It can be very difficult to accept, especially if he is still telling her that he is innocent.
Imagine someone told you your mother or father was guilty of some horrible crime, and they told you "no son, I've been set up, I'm being railroaded", would you be able to just ignore them and go along with a jury? It's tough.
@@catlover1986 exactly! People are so quick to blame mom for all the illnesses of society. I understand they.need someone to blame but someday it might be them sitting there listening to their child get convicted.
@@scorpion-fs7pg Well she is to blame for her nonsensical argument. Just like he is to blame for murdering someone.
@@ryanslack2666 she is.
@@scorpion-fs7pg Then why even make your original comment? Dumbass.
Another win for single motherhood
His 4th grade teacher: Ma’am your son hit another child.
Mom: He’s a good kid. A good person. As his mother I know he didn’t do this. Thank you.
Yes that's how it begins.
Wow, pretty deep insight. That may have been exactly how it went down when he was raised. God Bless the mothers of this world but you can also be willfully blind and complicit
Followed by "that teacher doesn't know what she's talking about, now have some positive reinforcement for your negative behavior"...
And you write hackneyed comments on RUclips. Stop it!
I don't know anything about this case, is it possible he is innocent?
Mother: “I have no evidence but I believe my son is innocent.”
Judge: “Very well you are now free to go.”
If the jury sentenced, they already provided evidence, as he is innocent till proven guilty, and was judged by a group of fellow citizens.
Judge- you telling me we are about to convict an innocent man.
I thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Deputy sheriff set this man free.
@@williammees4398 Huh?
@Muslim🇸🇦 bring evidence that he didn't commit the murder than.
Her blood was in his his passenger seat. He also was caught pawning off her belongings.
@Muslim🇸🇦 lol. It’s always funny that people criticize the American justice system but can’t point to a country with a better justice system. You are tried by a jury of your peers that have to come to a 100% consensual agreement about your verdict. If one person disagrees they have to do an entire new trial. How is this not thorough? The state has provide sufficient evidence to convince 12 people to all agree that you are 100% guilty without a doubt in a country where half the population can’t agree on basic politics with the other half.
Notice it's always the same description of criminals
“Have didn’t commit”
Nice grammar. Hopefully English isn’t her first language because that would be embarrassing 😂
In the words of my own mother: “I can’t say what my children will or will not do when they’re away from me, but I know what they won’t do in my presence.”
Wise woman.
Well said
I like that statement.
Yes ma’am true statement
Yesss Maam all the time!!!
This mom is in denial and is defending herself, not her son. He’s guilty and all of the evidence says so. Perhaps making a Hawa for him is why he’s a sociopath.
I just said that too!! Her pride want allow her to see the truth!! Maybe she is narcissist and groomed a narcissist
she is very much defending her parenting
@@Languageoftheheart I agree
I agree I think, please what is a Hawa.?
Just as I was thinking. A damn shame.
👍🏼 the Judge did what was Right and Just. The mom 🙄 sorry but, I had to mute her. She does NOT know what her son was/is capable of.
I knew it was over for her when the judge crossed his arms.. lol 😂😂😂
Her pride is blinding her- it's how SHE raised him, what a good mother SHE was, how SHE knows her son. The most unbearable part of this for her is facing her friends and family and church. She's unable to face the parents of the murdered girl with sorrow, sympathy or shame. It's simply that SHE was a good mother, therefore, her son didn't do this. The facts don't seem to register with her. It's sad, but she's delusional.
Your comments are exactly my thoughts. She's is the root in many ways and now she is facing what she has helped to create. Mom and son both are delusional and dysfunctional. She's ashamed and embarrassed because HE came from HER womb.
She is a narc just like her evil son, the apple does not roll far from the tree.
So true. It is her ego on the line.
Yeah her pridecis a problem for the justice system. Let the jury decide withoit bias
Well put! She sees this as a reflection of her. Denial.
"he's a good person, very stable and respects others"
He sure as hell didn't respect the person he kidnapped then killed. Personally that doesn't sound like a kind stable person
Yeaaah gotta agree with ya. Didn’t sound like a caring person sort of thing to do.
gotta say this cause apparently people dont know....innocent people do get convicted and found guilty, and guilty people sometimes do get found not guilty....
it's an objective fact.... with that said I don't know nor do I care which side of the spectrum this guy fall into.
@@KYWAN_MURPHY_O.G.N.C. Clearly.

@@KYWAN_MURPHY_O.G.N.C. He was also caught by security camera, her blood in his car, he was wanting to deep clean his car afterwards, his gf talked about the murder weapon and him talking about cleaning his car and being weird about it right after it happened.

I think she is talking for herself and not for her son. Guilty conscience
I guess she didn't hear and see the overwhelming evidence that he did it. This kind of stuff sickens me.
At first I thought he wasn't guilty because I know a girl from Florence who knows him but after I heard the evidence I was like girl please
@@hotboy80baby18 Yea that man did that. Good thing he was caught or he would probably went on to kill again. Showed no emotion or remorse. Just a tricky demon.

This woman should be thanking God that her son got caught. If he hadn’t got caught there would have been more families losing their daughters to this monster
She's a narcissist and sees him as an extension of her, not as a separate person. That's why she refuses to believe he's guilty, because she takes it personally.
Take a seat lady.
Seems like narcissistic to me as well. Look at the gaslighting, interrupting, blatant disregard of evidence, self absorbed statements as if shes an all good person.
@CypyCup You don't have to give up just hold them accountable for their actions that effect others.
You nailed it !
Good god y'all love to misuse the term on narcissist with your internet degrees....
@@modenasolone actually, I spent 8 years earning my degree. Thanks.
This shows the importance of balance. Love is essential to raise a child, but so is proper guidance
This mother needs to realize her child killed another mother’s child! She may have raised him as best as she could, but as an adult man he made the wrong decision to kill someone. She needs to accept her child is guilty, and accept that his new residence will now be prison…
well put, Em. It's not her fault. He has her in his web of lies.
I heard a judge tell a parent he may have been the sweet innocent child you described but he's not that child today.
I'm actually shocked not more people have sympathy for the victims mom
She does NOT need to realize that. She can think and say whatever she pleases. The justice system doesn't require every citizen to agree with every conviction - and I wouldn't want to live in a system where that was either legally or socially required.
@@Jorbz150 Are you being deliberately obtuse? That's not what he/she meant. It's not about it being "socially or legally required", they're just saying that that's the way it should go.
“He’s a good child, he’s a good person, he’s a respectful person”
Meanwhile he’s convicted of murder, kidnapping and more
Unbelievable so loving
He’s love of killing
So what if he really is innocent?
This isn't the 1950s where any black man could be mistaken for the murderer and it is just accepted. Science and proof are the hard evidence these days in 2021.
She does not know her son. She only knows what he has shown her. This man has a black judge and a majority black jury and was still found guilty. He is not innocent, it has nothing to do with his color, and he is facing the consequences of his stupid choices.
@@nigelstanford4 the world is filled with "what if’s" especially someone in denial *cough* *cough* like you and his crazy mother
@@nigelstanford4 There were almost three dozen witnesses. They found the victims blood to the inside of the dudes car and on cleaning supplies with the victims blood, a sock and bandana the guy owned, and gloves with DNA belonging to both him and the victim the trash behind his girlfriends house.

In what universe could he be innocent?
Finally a real American JUDGE, thank you sir.
A mother with any sense would also know when their child is lying. If the evidence against my child was this overwhelming, I wouldn't be defending them.
exactly, hold him accountable!!!!!! this is why he is the monster he is, because of a mom who never held him responsible.
Its a hard truth...really sad. She taught him to deny as she is the example of denial.
I think she "chooses" to believe her son because the truth would be too much to bear, she needs counseling, it will sink in eventually.
@@Tee1312Jay Yeah maybe and I get that, but if it was kid I’m sorry but I would be like you’re guilty what you did was horrible and now you must pay the consequences. Loving someone is also about holding them accountable but like you’ said maybe it will sink over time.
The mother apparently is in denial. She can't accept all the evidence against her son. He's a psycho path.
