| Crazy. I was there that morning and had no idea what all the tape and reporters were for. Poor girl. Her murder sounds like a psycho based on details. |

| Damn I've been posting on DCUM for 11 years... |
| Really does feel like yesterday. |
She was sentenced to life without parole. |
I don't know how you live your life with the guilt of knowing that you could have done something, but didn't. I remember reading about when the prosecutor was talking the the jury and said something like that these weren't confusing cries, they knew that it sounded like someone was being murdered, yet they all thought someone else would call (as the screams went on for hours). |
I thought there was security there saying they would take care of it or something but either way, yes they heard multiple cries for help and did nothing. |
If this is true, I agree that it's bizarre for them not to have called for help. I also question what made Brittany snap. I recall seeing an episode on Snapped a few years back on the case, but it didn't answer many questions. |
It’s in the court records that the Apple employees heard the screams for help. They admitted it. |
Havent you people heard of The Bystander Effect and Kitty Genovese? |
Unlike the defendant, I don't take out my displeasure by killing someone. I don't want my tax dollars being used for state-sanctioned murder. We should separate her from the rest of society, but she is a living person I will not stoop to her tactics by solving this with violence. |
The By stander Effect is real (though of course, most people who did not study psychology would not know it), but common beliefs about how Kitty Genovese's neighbors reacted are incorrect. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-09-10/urban-legend-kitty-genovese-38-people |
That is super interesting. I hadn't heard that the story had been appended, and does in fact make me feel better about humanity!!!! |
Based on your example, some of the employees would have done something. But keep excusing their horrific behavior that could have saved Jayna, with just one phone call from their secured store. |
| This story is what first hooked me on DCUM. It was first posted about the murder and then over the next few days, people were posting as the story unfolded. |
