My father was an alcoholic and still provided for his family. He worked 3 jobs to make sure we had what we needed. Alcoholism is an illness that requires treatment and therapy just like any other illness. I loved my father . There was never a time when I or my siblings ever thought to do something as heinous as dousing him with caustic materials. I dont know if she deserves life in prison, but she definitely deserves to be held accountable for her actions.
Same here I'm 60 now but my story is similar to yours,my dad was an alcohol also but was never abusive done his work an provided for all 5 of us but just because he drank didn't mean I loved him less,my heart broke when my dad passed,but this young lady deserves to be punished for what she done poor man must have suffered tremendously from her crime.🏴😡😡😪😪🏴

This story is so heartbreaking. Konrad’s son and Kayla are capable of incredible empathy for alcoholism (if he was suffering with that) which speaks volumes for their character. I experienced alcoholism from 2 ex husbands who are now deceased. With the first one, I was 17 when we married.

She mixed the lye with water, for everyone saying that he did it to himself or that she didn’t realize what she was throwing at him. She knew that at a minimum, it would seriously harm him. Her reaction to finding out that it did in fact severely injure him just further underscores that.
exactly. Its not like she threw a closed container of lye. They come with a childproof cap, it wouldn't open on it's own. Also lye has to be mixed with water to make it clean a clogged drain. She knew what she was doing. When investigators asked her at the party what happened she said her and Dad argued and she threw a bag of bread, water and stuff at him. The investigator asked if she threw white powder and she said yes I believe so. 😢
Megan could call her friend several times but couldn’t call 911. That’s cold. I know she was angry but she must’ve known what the threw had seriously hurt her father.
@G I could be wrong but my thinking is she was told he was hurt and didn’t even try to connect the dots or even ask what was wrong with him, which suggests she may already knows how or why he was hurt.

I feel like she put her friend in a very awful and traumatic situation and that is no friend at all... my dad is one of my best friends idk how anybody can do this.. get him help dont throw whatever on him and just walk away tf🤦♀️😪
@anne bosworth exactly there are no mentions anywhere of him being abusive. Dad had problems and was too drunk to drive her to her beauty salon appointment for her 18th birthday party and so she threw lye on him!!!....then was only trying to get his credit card details from the friend and brother whilst her brother visited hospital (not she) and her friend went to his house (not her) and when she couldn't hung up on them both not saying anything!! Her dad may have had problems but this girl is a special kind of entitled evil
I didn't catch opening statements, but the cross of the detective made it sound like the defense denies she threw lye. They said she threw bread and something else. That's a huge mistake. Don't lie about the obvious. Defense needs to focus on the fact that she had no idea it could kill him, and mitigating factors like abuse and neglect.
I didn't think they were trying to say she denied throwing it. I thought they were saying she threw random items at him not knowing what was what. Bread was just one of those random items. Maybe I'm mistaken though
My mom was a selfish cruel alcoholic and even stole a ten thousand dollar lottery ticket from me. Any money i got from her was a loan but my sister always got a hand out. I never dreamed of hurting her.
I couldnt go to my Jr Prom or Sr Ball bc mom or step dad didnt come home for me to go even tho I saved forever for the dress & my date a limo. Bd had to stay in my rm bc I didnt want to go to a smoky stk restaurant & not have dinner at all. Not once did I think of hurting my mom, step dad or little sisters. Sure this scarred me with no self esteem. So many kids had it worse & my chores were cleaning our home. She never had chores? Dont think her consequences were enough for this manipulative Megan.
What makes this whole thing even worse is that, even after being told that her father was in the hospital and not ok at all, the defendant didn't even care enough to go to the hospital?!?! What a selfish person!!
No matter what your addiction or demons are there is no justification for death. She acted out and unfortunately didn’t understand the consequences. I pray justice is served Lesson learned And family can heal from this horrible tragedy.
Alot of people criticizing the friend for not calling 911, yes of course this is what she should have done but she was probably so shocked and couldn't think straight.
They keep talking about how messy the house was - was that all on the father? Didn't this 18 year old have any responsibility when it came to the condition of the house she shared? She appears to be an entitled brat.
The bottle of lye shows a skull and says it will cause severe burns. I think she did saw that when she picked it up and threw it at him. No matter how angry you are i know the difference between throwing a pillow and throwing a knife.. Also the fact she didn't call for an ambulance and just let him burn away..
What a horrific way to die. The daughter didn't seem overly bothered when her friend told her about her father. If the daughter was unhappy living with her father, why didn't she go to her mother's? I think she knew exactly what she was doing when she grabbed the lye.
I think this is the first time I’ve noticed a rise in Megan’s face. She actually looks mad at her for testifying. She has had a blank stare but not with this young lady
Was the bottle of lye just sitting there already opened, or did she have to take the top off to douze him with it? The fact that he had burns from the top of his head traveling downward towards his entire body leads me to believe she purposely poured it on him from his head down while he was asleep sitting on the couch.
She was using the lye to clean her Christmas tree lights and her ventriloquist dummy and her dad pushed the tree over and the dummy told her to do it 🤡 🥳💃🏻🎈🎈🧙🏻♂️🎁🎄
Kayla did a great job, with the help of this attorney, the whole scenario was presented for us to understand what has happened there. She knew what she was doing, the bottle states causes severe burns on it and even had a toxic scull symbol in front of the bottle. She knew he was out of it, asleep on the couch and it's all about her and her wants.
My kids Dad was also an abusive drunk and they never did anything like this to him( we left him because of his abuse) this young woman is a self centered brat who without a concern for anyone but herself set up her friend to find her father in that condition all for a credit card number. Hope she really enjoyed her 18th bday.
Sad when her friend cared more about her father than she did. Megan knew what she did and didnt care. Didn't want to hear anything anybody had to say about her father's condition, only cared about herself and her pitiful party.
From 10a, to 3p, Megan is in the house with the father and did nothing for her father while his skin is burning and deteriorating. What a hateful child.
Rules about causing death in the US are bizarre. A young woman who deliberately drove drunk and after taking drugs, killed two pedestrians who were crossing the road. She laughed and giggled while with an officer, but got annoyed with him when he said she was under arrest. She showed zero remorse. She did get a sentence, but less than 10 years. That's 2 people, killed instantly. This young woman clearly did not think what she threw would kill her father. And it took half a horrible year for his death to occur. Her life was constantly and badly impacted by his drinking, it was to her a very special day, she was very hurt and upset. Clearly this is not premeditated murder. But SHE is charged with murder, whereas drunk drivers who KNOW they are getting into a weapon and going on roads where they KNOW there will be other humans...that is NOT counted as premeditation. Well, they may not have planned to kill...but they knew there was a very good chance they would, and decided they didn't care. There is a lack of congruity. But I expect this is because 1. drink driving is so common that politicians and judges know their careers will take a hit if they advocate for proper laws to control and punish it 2. the booze industry is powerful, whereas a penniless 17 year old with an alcoholic father has zero power. BTW I'm not saying she doesn't deserve a punishment, but all these should require joined up thinking and sentences.
If she had cared one single morsel about her dad, she would have inquired more about what was wrong with him and would have gone to the hospital! People may do rash things in anger, but she had had enough time by the time he was found and taken to the hospital to cool down and become concerned that something she did “accidentally” harmed him or even that his drinking had caused something.
I understand your point. If the situation were less fraught with ramifications, I’d feel the same. Devil’s advocate: But if her “father” had cared one iota for Megan, he’d have pulled himself together and gone thru treatment. I lived this alcoholic garbage for 10 years. My alcoholic refused treatment multiple times. He said he had to “self medicate” but I staggered thru his abuse sober. He said “beer was a food group.” (Ha ha - he thought it was funny but it’s not f-ing funny.) He drank coffee non-stop til 2p then had to “calm down” until he passed out at night. I finally threw him out, but Megan was only 17 and conditioned to her father’s callous disregard all her life, apparently. He taught her not to care. Where was her breaking point supposed to be?
@@MonaLisaVitofunny because she called her dad her best friend and she chose to live there. The only thing she loved was Dads credit cards and when she didnt get her way she threw things. When her mom was on the stand Megan was smirking and had a slight smile like she took joy in Moms disparaging remarks.
Thank God for this young woman who called 911. Unfortunately he suffered almost 6 months in the hospital before dying. His own daughter who caused his injuries and death deserves life in prison.
@@mariakammetler1246 not right away, she accepted 2 or 3 calls from the dads daughter who did it, she called her mom and then called the son of the guy who then told her to call 911 ..
@@mariakammetler1246 The 17 did not call police until she talked to the man's son, who told her to call 911. I did not hear the mother called 911, and the 17 yr old ONLY called 911 after told to do it, not because she thought to call 911. Wouldn't you have called 911 right away? I would have.
This young lady reminds me of my first friend in life Ana we met a age 4, we were so close even after I marrried at age 17 and left home i'd go visit my parents or go pick up my kids and there she'd be with my kids in her arms visiting my parents after 62 yrs she is still in my life if you get to have a friend like this young girl cherish them forever!
Isnt it refreshing? Gives me hope! Parenting is the hardest job ever yet Kayla's parents seem to have done such a great job at it. Id be so proud if I was them🥳
They worked on the judge, Kayla & her dad. She NEVER did household chores yet could use his credit cards. I made my own $ by her age bc my mom said if u dont want PENNEYS & PREFER MACY'S U GOT TO PAY FOR IT. She gave me work ethic & wings to fly when she died while I was a teen. Megan uses ppl instead.
Why did Judge Ashley say the witness sounds much younger than she is? I disagree and find that to be an incredibly offensive, judgemental thing to say about a 17 yr old who was traumatized. She's totally cooperative and her answers are honest. What could /should she do differently? I agree with what was said here. I don't think the defendant meant to throw a harmful substance on her father. The man was a sloppy, messy drunk and a horrible parent. He didn't deserve what happened but I think it was a tragic accident that resulted from equally tragic circumstances. What a sad, pathetic way to grow up. She needs help, not a punishment.
Like I'll be carding her for the next fifteen years if I work at a grocery store or a bar... She also just doesn't seem like she has a lot of life experience. How do you not just meet decisions? She seemed very unsure of what alcoholism is and or what blackout drunk looks like..
Without knowing my husband & I viewed this house with a realtor a few months ago. It was in terrible shape. The couch he was on was still there. I knew something tragic had happened there by the state of it. Absolutely insane.
@@jpmpa703 Our realtor didn’t know the condition because photos weren’t published online of the direct condition or the reasoning of why it was in probate. It was a very strange scenario.
While I feel bad for Megan, there are other ways she could’ve solved this problem that didn’t involve harming her dad. She could’ve called someone and explained her situation so she could have had someone help both of them out or even could’ve gone to a neighbor to get help. I’d be angry and upset too if this were me but I certainly wouldn’t hurt my dad over it!!!
This segment made me feel like the daughter was trying to set up her now ex-friend as a way of obtaining "reasonable doubt". Afterall, the "friend" found the dad in this condition right? So, the defense could imply this friend was the last known person with the father.... This daughter knew exactly what she was doing, because it had been building up for 17 years! She can read, spell, speak, but she cannot admit to this level of hatred. Par for the course....😮
U r so wise. Didnt even think of that. Setting Kayla up to take the blame. Prob thinking her dad was already dead. Im still in shock she didnt have household chores & was allowed to go anywhere?😮
I'm relieved to see your opinions most likely reflect the truth. This case broadcasts the disparaging difference of children being raised in unhealthy environments versus healthy environments. It is so very tragic.😢
My father was an alcoholic me, or my siblings didn't try to harm him ,we loved him. Idk, but this girls need for a bday party isn't reason to do what she did. I watched the brothers' testimony it was gut-wrenching. He was forced to defend his dad's disease cause his sister did what she did ,Awful!
@@mandolyn The male parent in my childhood was an abusive, alcohol drinking, pill mixer🤔 who loved sticking his tongue in the mouths of children. If he were alive today, I would hunt him down and end the chance for another child to suffer. I noticed the brother's hostility towards his sister. His testimony will most likely be ruled out because of that. I understand why he's so mad at her. It is truly so tragic and heartbreaking. I pray for them both. 🙏💔😔
@blackwinged9898 That's awful. I'm sorry, that wasn't the case here, though the brothers hostility was cause of having to defend his dad after what his sister did to him. It was powerful it shouldn't be stricken.
Not in today's world. I just broke my bones & was in a rehab/nursing home & cried my eyes out & ground my teeth out while I heard others scream in agony. Since those who choose to get high Drs or gov dont want to help those to just get by.
Lye and water is caustic acid, can you imagine being eaten alive. I've worked with caustic acid quite a bit. Could not imagine how you could clean it from wounds on a human body.
@@MortgageGirl7 lye is the main chemical that is used to create draino, caustic acid, bottom line is that it eats and devolves most everything in comes in contact with. It is acid. Deadly.
She should have taken a plea deal. She did it. She was angry. She harmed her father & it resulted in his death. I don’t think she planned on killing him. Him being knocked out drunk during the time made the situation worse. Take accountability.
I absolutely agree nobody knows what he'll you go thru dealing with a drink ..self defense or manslaughter she did not try to kill him just was sick of coming home to a drunk..
Wow that must Be Truly Sad for A Father to Come to the Realisation That He was Dying Bc of His Beloved Child😢.This Neighbour Is Brutally Honest .Love Her❤.Well Done.Truly Tragic
Bro, this girl's parents need to discuss who to befriend and not to befriend; she talked about walking in on her friend's dad naked and drunk on the couch like it was normal.
Why didn’t she walk away without hurting him? He didn’t seem to be aware of his surroundings. For what I hear. He needed help not lye. Maybe he didn’t want it. Alcoholism Is a HELL OF a BAD disiease
@Elizabeth Henderson Please don't use such serious conditions to describe her. A psychopath or A narcissist are 2 illnesses commenters use so sloppily, not knowing what either means and how to diagnose them. It takes a Psychiatrist up to 8 years to qualify to work with patients. He will spend time with patients, monitoring their behaviour, mood swings, acrions and having deep discussions. It is very tiring and takes weeks to come to a conzlusion.
I can't believe kids were there at the hospital with Konrad tyat weren't even his own. But his own daughter wasn't. You would think if she did do this to her father not having any intentions to burn and or kill him. She would be absolutely devastated and horrified. And confused. Ask why is he in the hospital?? What happened?? And not even think for a minute more about his credit card. She would want to get to the hospital asap!!
This giywas only 18, dealing her whole life with a drunk of a parent, once again runing an important day for her, butt ass naked in front of her..she reacted in the heat of passion not pupose..she has to live with this, thats enough punishment imo
The Judge was correct. This kid didn't realize what she had done. If she was a Gardner or a chemistry major I would be it was on purpose... But she wasn't! She was a regular teenager. Did she throw bricks or weapons, No. She was a disappointed daddy's girl on her bd. I applaud 👏 the Judge, she didn't allow the attorneys to cloud her judgment.
She spilled the contents of lye bottle on him, on purpose, not the bottle, the contents. And then afterwards she added water, being competent about its murderous effect. Get your facts straight.
With such a light sentence I wonder if her family will be excited to see her come home ?? Or what the thoughts of her friend as she testified against her
You guys are putting the girl as careless or that she thought her dad injuries were not a big deal. She never cared to ask how her father was doing or what was wrong with him. She is vicious and acts evil cause she was not getting her way, birthday, and credit card. That was her only concern. Age doesn't exempt you for caring for your parents or your loved ones. She showed her true colors. ONLY ASKING ABOUT THE CREDIT CARD
@@MonaLisaVitoremember Mom said she chose to live there when she got older and everyone in the family knew how Dad was. Blame Mom FB or allowing her and her brother to go there. Megan was counting on Dads stupors to do what she wanted without an argument from him.
I would have been so upset about the way her father looked if I would have seen him and the fact that his daughter hung up when she was told about the state he was in was extremely disturbing and cold I have a feeling that he wasn’t drunk but that she wanted something or wanted him to do something and he may have not done what she had asked and so she knew enough what to do with the lye to make it caustic and she did exactly that and didn’t care about what it had done to him. She said he was drunk no one else was there to agree or disagree with her she in my opinion is self centered and doesn’t care about anyone but herself the fact that her dad was so happy when he saw his ex wife makes me feel like he may have been asleep and that’s why he didn’t know what happened and he also may have had dementia or Alzheimer’s to be able to show her friend his finger’s and not be upset or panicked about it Alzheimer’s and dementia can do something like that to you because you really don’t know what is going on.
this whole scenario just so bizarre. He's blackout drunk at 10:30AM. He's an old man who is ass naked around a seventeen-year-old girl. He can't find his phone. He can't feel the burns...
When you see what a child suffers when a parent is a really bad alcoholic it’s something most people can’t fathom. I agree w the judges decision. She will suffer for a long time. I hope she is able to do positive deeds in her future. Horrible case.

Dad had problems and was too drunk to drive her to her beauty salon appointment for her 18th birthday party and so she threw lye on him!!!....then was only trying to get his credit card details from the friend and brother whilst her brother visited hospital (not she) and her friend went to his house (not her) and when she couldn't hung up on them both not saying anything!! Her dad may have had problems but this girl is a special kind of entitled evil
I didn't catch opening statements, but the cross of the detective made it sound like the defense denies she threw lye. They said she threw bread and something else. That's a huge mistake. Don't lie about the obvious. Defense needs to focus on the fact that she had no idea it could kill him, and mitigating factors like abuse and neglect.
Opening Statements | MI v. Imirowicz ruclips.net/video/hGo18zo6faQ/видео.html
My thoughts exactly when I watched yesterday. I was disappointed when he trivialised what was thrown on him.
I didn't think they were trying to say she denied throwing it. I thought they were saying she threw random items at him not knowing what was what. Bread was just one of those random items. Maybe I'm mistaken though
There is one saying in England. "Young and Daft".
well done!
My mom was a selfish cruel alcoholic and even stole a ten thousand dollar lottery ticket from me. Any money i got from her was a loan but my sister always got a hand out.
I never dreamed of hurting her.
💯💯💯💯💯
I couldnt go to my Jr Prom or Sr Ball bc mom or step dad didnt come home for me to go even tho I saved forever for the dress & my date a limo. Bd had to stay in my rm bc I didnt want to go to a smoky stk restaurant & not have dinner at all. Not once did I think of hurting my mom, step dad or little sisters. Sure this scarred me with no self esteem. So many kids had it worse & my chores were cleaning our home. She never had chores? Dont think her consequences were enough for this manipulative Megan.
What makes this whole thing even worse is that, even after being told that her father was in the hospital and not ok at all, the defendant didn't even care enough to go to the hospital?!?! What a selfish person!!
@taramcgavan7654 She 'could be' a caring individual is what she could have been!
No matter what your addiction or demons are there is no justification for death. She acted out and unfortunately didn’t understand the consequences.
I pray justice is served
Lesson learned
And family can heal from this horrible tragedy.
Actually it's completely ok to do to sex abusers. This particular girl is evil tho
How did she think this was going to go?! Jesus 😬
She put her friend in a horrible situation
Alot of people criticizing the friend for not calling 911, yes of course this is what she should have done but she was probably so shocked and couldn't think straight.
Also her youth. Her first instinct was to call her Mom
Her frontal lobe wasnt developed enough to know what exactly to do but she had enough empathy to ask her mom.
What the heck. She didn’t care. She didn’t even go to the hospital when she knew her father was taken there. Give me a break.
Why would she go to the hospital to visit the man she threw lye / acid onto ??
Absolutely Right. She completely understands Pain and horror Young yes. Cruel and malicious ABSOLUTELY.
I can’t believe Megan walked away from this.
No justice whatsoever. 😢
They keep talking about how messy the house was - was that all on the father? Didn't this 18 year old have any responsibility when it came to the condition of the house she shared? She appears to be an entitled brat.
💯💯💯💯💯
I totally agree! Spoiled brat!
👏👏👏
The bottle of lye shows a skull and says it will cause severe burns. I think she did saw that when she picked it up and threw it at him. No matter how angry you are i know the difference between throwing a pillow and throwing a knife.. Also the fact she didn't call for an ambulance and just let him burn away..
She never did household chores but did know where the lye was. A spoiled brat.
What a horrific way to die. The daughter didn't seem overly bothered when her friend told her about her father. If the daughter was unhappy living with her father, why didn't she go to her mother's? I think she knew exactly what she was doing when she grabbed the lye.
I think this is the first time I’ve noticed a rise in Megan’s face. She actually looks mad at her for testifying. She has had a blank stare but not with this young lady
In another video I noticed that she was trying hard to hold back from crying when her brother was up there. You could see if in her face.
Yes, I noticed her anger when her friend couldn’t say if he had a “problem”.
She is old enough to know what she was doing. 18 is not a child.
Was the bottle of lye just sitting there already opened, or did she have to take the top off to douze him with it? The fact that he had burns from the top of his head traveling downward towards his entire body leads me to believe she purposely poured it on him from his head down while he was asleep sitting on the couch.
She mixed it with water. So she fully thought it through, yeah.
She was using the lye to clean her Christmas tree lights and her ventriloquist dummy and her dad pushed the tree over and the dummy told her to do it 🤡 🥳💃🏻🎈🎈🧙🏻♂️🎁🎄
Poor kid, imagine thinking it's going an ordinary day, doing her friend a favour and walking into that.
I was serving in the military at 17, how did she not think to immediately ring 911 ?
Exactly, you served in the military! You were trained to think like that 🙄
@@MonaLisaVito Australia !!!
Kayla did a great job, with the help of this attorney, the whole scenario was presented for us to understand what has happened there. She knew what she was doing, the bottle states causes severe burns on it and even had a toxic scull symbol in front of the bottle. She knew he was out of it, asleep on the couch and it's all about her and her wants.
My kids Dad was also an abusive drunk and they never did anything like this to him( we left him because of his abuse) this young woman is a self centered brat who without a concern for anyone but herself set up her friend to find her father in that condition all for a credit card number. Hope she really enjoyed her 18th bday.
Yes she won't be enyoying the next few birthdays.. if found guilty...
She is very cold ,acting like threw chemicals at a cocarocha .
I hope you never serve on a jury.
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Found guilty.
Time served?
Probation.
THIS WORLD IS NOT OUR HOME
She seems so credible I'd believe her if she said she saw Bigfoot land a spaceship on top of a unicorn..
“Are you sure it was Bigfoot?” “Yes.” (Notes Bigfoot landed spaceship)
Sad when her friend cared more about her father than she did.
Megan knew what she did and didnt care. Didn't want to hear anything anybody had to say about her father's condition, only cared about herself and her pitiful party.
Dang, he suffered for FIVE months!
Thought it was 6 mths of hell. Pain & heartache. Plus how many when household chores were never done.
From 10a, to 3p, Megan is in the house with the father and did nothing for her father while his skin is burning and deteriorating. What a hateful child.
Rules about causing death in the US are bizarre.
A young woman who deliberately drove drunk and after taking drugs, killed two pedestrians who were crossing the road. She laughed and giggled while with an officer, but got annoyed with him when he said she was under arrest. She showed zero remorse.
She did get a sentence, but less than 10 years.
That's 2 people, killed instantly.
This young woman clearly did not think what she threw would kill her father. And it took half a horrible year for his death to occur. Her life was constantly and badly impacted by his drinking, it was to her a very special day, she was very hurt and upset. Clearly this is not premeditated murder. But SHE is charged with murder, whereas drunk drivers who KNOW they are getting into a weapon and going on roads where they KNOW there will be other humans...that is NOT counted as premeditation. Well, they may not have planned to kill...but they knew there was a very good chance they would, and decided they didn't care.
There is a lack of congruity. But I expect this is because
1. drink driving is so common that politicians and judges know their careers will take a hit if they advocate for proper laws to control and punish it
2. the booze industry is powerful, whereas a penniless 17 year old with an alcoholic father has zero power.
BTW I'm not saying she doesn't deserve a punishment, but all these should require joined up thinking and sentences.
Very well said! Totally agree!
Very often I have thought the same along your lines!
😢9😅
She's bloody disgusting. It's ALL about this little madam's day.
exactly. i hope she does not get murder charges
How can she go on with her life knowing she killed her dad that's sad so sad that poor man no life is yours to take
💯💯💯💯💯
Hmmmm it's ok to kill I'm self defense for example. And abortion is never murder
If she had cared one single morsel about her dad, she would have inquired more about what was wrong with him and would have gone to the hospital! People may do rash things in anger, but she had had enough time by the time he was found and taken to the hospital to cool down and become concerned that something she did “accidentally” harmed him or even that his drinking had caused something.
I understand your point. If the situation were less fraught with ramifications, I’d feel the same. Devil’s advocate: But if her “father” had cared one iota for Megan, he’d have pulled himself together and gone thru treatment. I lived this alcoholic garbage for 10 years. My alcoholic refused treatment multiple times. He said he had to “self medicate” but I staggered thru his abuse sober. He said “beer was a food group.” (Ha ha - he thought it was funny but it’s not f-ing funny.) He drank coffee non-stop til 2p then had to “calm down” until he passed out at night. I finally threw him out, but Megan was only 17 and conditioned to her father’s callous disregard all her life, apparently. He taught her not to care. Where was her breaking point supposed to be?
Drunk or not it is no excuse for her to throw stuff at her father
💯💯💯💯💯
honestly.. very cruel of this young woman. i understand her frustration but hearing this is just very sad..
She looks like she could care less when her friend, ex friend, described what happened to her father. Sick sick sick.
I agree. She cares less
Agreed. It seemed like it was a traumatic experience for her friend. Seeing someone in that state is very scary. It’s a good thing she’s an ex friend.
@@MonaLisaVitofunny because she called her dad her best friend and she chose to live there. The only thing she loved was Dads credit cards and when she didnt get her way she threw things. When her mom was on the stand Megan was smirking and had a slight smile like she took joy in Moms disparaging remarks.
Thank God for this young woman who called 911. Unfortunately he suffered almost 6 months in the hospital before dying. His own daughter who caused his injuries and death deserves life in prison.
Good thing she’s not even charged with murder and based on facts thus far I wouldn’t even convict on manslaughter.. criminally negligent homicide only
She got one year
Imagine his physical & emotional pain he suffered from his daughter doing this to him. Sorry but burns r the worst.😢
The 17 yr old who saw him and her mother who was told about him did NOT decide to call 911. That's shocking to me.
That's what I just said. The whole story is bizarre and he needed help immediately..how horrible
They did call 911
@@mariakammetler1246 not right away, she accepted 2 or 3 calls from the dads daughter who did it, she called her mom and then called the son of the guy who then told her to call 911 ..
@@mariakammetler1246 The 17 did not call police until she talked to the man's son, who told her to call 911. I did not hear the mother called 911, and the 17 yr old ONLY called 911 after told to do it, not because she thought to call 911. Wouldn't you have called 911 right away? I would have.
I can't believe he said hello that had to throw her off I think that's why
This witness was a kid. She did the best she could.
It’s bad enough she threw dangerous chemical on her father, but then knowing he was horribly injured, she failed to get him medical attention.
Killed her father and the same time went to a party right after...is insane...just look at her she looks scared/worried as she should
Megan is self centered.
This young lady reminds me of my first friend in life Ana we met a age 4, we were so close even after I marrried at age 17 and left home i'd go visit my parents or go pick up my kids and there she'd be with my kids in her arms visiting my parents after 62 yrs she is still in my life if you get to have a friend like this young girl cherish them forever!
She's so adorable..sweet and loyal and caring.. beautiful soul there
Man that guy talks fast
Someone raised this young lady right....... 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Isnt it refreshing? Gives me hope! Parenting is the hardest job ever yet Kayla's parents seem to have done such a great job at it. Id be so proud if I was them🥳
She sure picked a different face to make at her ex friend than when she was hearing closing arguments. Her attempts at manipulation are pathetic
They worked on the judge, Kayla & her dad. She NEVER did household chores yet could use his credit cards. I made my own $ by her age bc my mom said if u dont want PENNEYS & PREFER MACY'S U GOT TO PAY FOR IT. She gave me work ethic & wings to fly when she died while I was a teen. Megan uses ppl instead.
I'm bewildered and confused as to why Ms Bousquette did not right away phone 911 when she saw the state he was in.
She was 17 and it sounds like she had witnessed some pretty weird stuff over there before.
I could see being thrown off when he didn’t immediately ask for help. If he just said “hi” and “my hand hurts,” it could confuse someone.
It was shock and confusion. Poor girl
Why did Judge Ashley say the witness sounds much younger than she is? I disagree and find that to be an incredibly offensive, judgemental thing to say about a 17 yr old who was traumatized. She's totally cooperative and her answers are honest. What could /should she do differently?
I agree with what was said here. I don't think the defendant meant to throw a harmful substance on her father. The man was a sloppy, messy drunk and a horrible parent. He didn't deserve what happened but I think it was a tragic accident that resulted from equally tragic circumstances. What a sad, pathetic way to grow up. She needs help, not a punishment.
They say the older you get, the younger everyone seems!! 😂😂I think she just hasn’t been around 17 year olds recently.
She literally sounds like a baby..
Like I'll be carding her for the next fifteen years if I work at a grocery store or a bar...
She also just doesn't seem like she has a lot of life experience. How do you not just meet decisions? She seemed very unsure of what alcoholism is and or what blackout drunk looks like..
Without knowing my husband & I viewed this house with a realtor a few months ago. It was in terrible shape. The couch he was on was still there. I knew something tragic had happened there by the state of it. Absolutely insane.
What kind of realtor would show the house in that condition. The couch was evidence. I find your comment skeptical
@@jpmpa703 Our realtor didn’t know the condition because photos weren’t published online of the direct condition or the reasoning of why it was in probate. It was a very strange scenario.
Household chores were never done? Kids did nothing?
This young lady save his life!
While I feel bad for Megan, there are other ways she could’ve solved this problem that didn’t involve harming her dad. She could’ve called someone and explained her situation so she could have had someone help both of them out or even could’ve gone to a neighbor to get help. I’d be angry and upset too if this were me but I certainly wouldn’t hurt my dad over it!!!
💯💯💯💯💯
Why are the titles for this trail always saying,Sleeping in stead of Drunk.
The guest lawyer Josh has the best artwork on the wall behind him! The portrait of him is super cute 😊
Her lawyer is asking the SAME QUESTIONS the prosecution asked!!! Wtf.
Lazy public defender
I believe is opening was 3 minutes long
There is hatred behind those young eyes. Sad.
Excuses
@@MonaLisaVitoshe and her brother chose to live with Dad. If she didnt like it she very easily could have went back to Moms.
This segment made me feel like the daughter was trying to set up her now ex-friend as a way of obtaining "reasonable doubt". Afterall, the "friend" found the dad in this condition right? So, the defense could imply this friend was the last known person with the father....
This daughter knew exactly what she was doing, because it had been building up for 17 years! She can read, spell, speak, but she cannot admit to this level of hatred. Par for the course....😮
U r so wise. Didnt even think of that. Setting Kayla up to take the blame. Prob thinking her dad was already dead. Im still in shock she didnt have household chores & was allowed to go anywhere?😮
I'm relieved to see your opinions most likely reflect the truth. This case broadcasts the disparaging difference of children being raised in unhealthy environments versus healthy environments. It is so very tragic.😢
My father was an alcoholic me, or my siblings didn't try to harm him ,we loved him. Idk, but this girls need for a bday party isn't reason to do what she did. I watched the brothers' testimony it was gut-wrenching. He was forced to defend his dad's disease cause his sister did what she did ,Awful!
@@mandolyn exactly
exactly
@@mandolyn The male parent in my childhood was an abusive, alcohol drinking, pill mixer🤔 who loved sticking his tongue in the mouths of children. If he were alive today, I would hunt him down and end the chance for another child to suffer. I noticed the brother's hostility towards his sister. His testimony will most likely be ruled out because of that. I understand why he's so mad at her. It is truly so tragic and heartbreaking. I pray for them both. 🙏💔😔
@blackwinged9898 That's awful. I'm sorry, that wasn't the case here, though the brothers hostility was cause of having to defend his dad after what his sister did to him. It was powerful it shouldn't be stricken.
That's the worst injury you could have burnt. I hope the victim was comfortable with pain medicine
Not in today's world. I just broke my bones & was in a rehab/nursing home & cried my eyes out & ground my teeth out while I heard others scream in agony. Since those who choose to get high Drs or gov dont want to help those to just get by.
The defense attorney legit asked the exact same questions as the prosecution. Like what was he trying to gain from that??
His is a very sad case! I don't think she realized the impact of these chemicals. I'm torn on the charges. Will have to wait and watch.
Lye and water is caustic acid, can you imagine being eaten alive. I've worked with caustic acid quite a bit. Could not imagine how you could clean it from wounds on a human body.
I heard on another episode…Vennie said it was draino and Lye. So I am confused. Either way it’s really sad!!!
@@MortgageGirl7 lye is the main chemical that is used to create draino, caustic acid, bottom line is that it eats and devolves most everything in comes in contact with.
It is acid. Deadly.
@@hank0455 oh thank you! I have always used plain ol draino. Because i sucked in chemistry class. I appreciate you explaining! 😄
It might help if she showed a litte remorse. She looks like she doesn't care at all.
sociopath
Omg the defense counsel is horrible!!!
She is a sweet girl what a gem , great witness too.
She should have taken a plea deal. She did it. She was angry. She harmed her father & it resulted in his death.
I don’t think she planned on killing him. Him being knocked out drunk during the time made the situation worse.
Take accountability.
I absolutely agree nobody knows what he'll you go thru dealing with a drink ..self defense or manslaughter she did not try to kill him just was sick of coming home to a drunk..
Was a plea deal offered?
Wow that must Be Truly Sad for A Father to Come to the Realisation That He was Dying Bc of His Beloved Child😢.This Neighbour Is Brutally Honest .Love Her❤.Well Done.Truly Tragic
Plus burn pains & loss of limbs. 6mths of terrible pain yet Megan got 1 yr.
Why do the need to repeat the same questions ?
Sad. Heartbreaking
Bro, this girl's parents need to discuss who to befriend and not to befriend; she talked about walking in on her friend's dad naked and drunk on the couch like it was normal.
If the daughter didn't mean to throw lye on her dad then why did she not care after she found out he was in the hospital?
Why didn’t she walk away without hurting him? He didn’t seem to be aware of his surroundings. For what I hear. He needed help not lye.
Maybe he didn’t want it. Alcoholism
Is a HELL OF a BAD disiease
Choice !
what she did was wrong, but looked how she had to live!
Exactly on filth and he might been a molester most drunks are. Laying in the house naked... plead the 5th insanity
She could have cleaned up or go and live with her mom
no excuse for murdering the man
This case is so sad.
Yea, but she know enough that if you added water to the lye that it would burn him.
Oh my God! This is horrific! If the father wasn’t abusive then this daughter is an absolute psychopath!
@Elizabeth Henderson Please don't use such serious conditions to describe her. A psychopath or A narcissist are 2 illnesses commenters use so sloppily, not knowing what either means and how to diagnose them. It takes a Psychiatrist up to 8 years to qualify to work with patients. He will spend time with patients, monitoring their behaviour, mood swings, acrions and having deep discussions. It is very tiring and takes weeks to come to a conzlusion.
"If"??!!
I can't believe kids were there at the hospital with Konrad tyat weren't even his own. But his own daughter wasn't. You would think if she did do this to her father not having any intentions to burn and or kill him. She would be absolutely devastated and horrified. And confused. Ask why is he in the hospital?? What happened?? And not even think for a minute more about his credit card. She would want to get to the hospital asap!!
At 3:14
Attorney: do you know what was special about that day?
Kayla: it was her birthday
Megan: 🤨
Was it lye and Drano? The house was messy but difficult to believe there was lye and Drano just out there along with everything else? Unlikely.
it was lye and she mixed it with water
This giywas only 18, dealing her whole life with a drunk of a parent, once again runing an important day for her, butt ass naked in front of her..she reacted in the heat of passion not pupose..she has to live with this, thats enough punishment imo
I feel the same
She's not serving more than five years max...
And how dark is it that your dad is blackout drunk at 10 a.m. on your birthday?
exactly
The Judge was correct. This kid didn't realize what she had done. If she was a Gardner or a chemistry major I would be it was on purpose... But she wasn't! She was a regular teenager. Did she throw bricks or weapons, No. She was a disappointed daddy's girl on her bd. I applaud 👏 the Judge, she didn't allow the attorneys to cloud her judgment.
She spilled the contents of lye bottle on him, on purpose, not the bottle, the contents. And then afterwards she added water, being competent about its murderous effect. Get your facts straight.
The accused smirking at some testimony is not a good look.
With such a light sentence I wonder if her family will be excited to see her come home ?? Or what the thoughts of her friend as she testified against her
So Very Sad Megan isn't even crying at all WTH
You know what she's not wearing glasses the murderer? Most of the defense team tells the murderers to wear glasses to make them look timid to the jury
You guys are putting the girl as careless or that she thought her dad injuries were not a big deal. She never cared to ask how her father was doing or what was wrong with him. She is vicious and acts evil cause she was not getting her way, birthday, and credit card. That was her only concern. Age doesn't exempt you for caring for your parents or your loved ones. She showed her true colors. ONLY ASKING ABOUT THE CREDIT CARD
@@MonaLisaVitoremember Mom said she chose to live there when she got older and everyone in the family knew how Dad was. Blame Mom FB or allowing her and her brother to go there. Megan was counting on Dads stupors to do what she wanted without an argument from him.
I would have been so upset about the way her father looked if I would have seen him and the fact that his daughter hung up when she was told about the state he was in was extremely disturbing and cold I have a feeling that he wasn’t drunk but that she wanted something or wanted him to do something and he may have not done what she had asked and so she knew enough what to do with the lye to make it caustic and she did exactly that and didn’t care about what it had done to him. She said he was drunk no one else was there to agree or disagree with her she in my opinion is self centered and doesn’t care about anyone but herself the fact that her dad was so happy when he saw his ex wife makes me feel like he may have been asleep and that’s why he didn’t know what happened and he also may have had dementia or Alzheimer’s to be able to show her friend his finger’s and not be upset or panicked about it Alzheimer’s and dementia can do something like that to you because you really don’t know what is going on.
What grade did you learn punctuation in?
Her ultimate sentence was not much, for killing her own father, and in such a heinous manner.
this whole scenario just so bizarre. He's blackout drunk at 10:30AM. He's an old man who is ass naked around a seventeen-year-old girl. He can't find his phone. He can't feel the burns...
He was wearing boxers. Thank you
When you see what a child suffers when a parent is a really bad alcoholic it’s something most people can’t fathom. I agree w the judges decision. She will suffer for a long time. I hope she is able to do positive deeds in her future. Horrible case.
