[quote=Anonymous]She pleaded guilty: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/08/15/richneck-elementary-shooting-guilty-plea/

[QUOTE]The mother of a 6-year-old boy who shot a teacher at Virginia’s Richneck Elementary School in January pleaded guilty to felony child neglect Tuesday as part of a deal with prosecutors to resolve a state case against her related to the incident.

Deja Taylor, 26, owned the gun her son used to shoot first-grade teacher Abigail Zwerner at the Newport News school, and admitted as part of her plea it was stored in such a way that the boy could access it.

Prosecutors agreed to drop a second misdemeanor charge of storing a gun in such a way that a child could gain access to it under the terms of the deal. Taylor faces up to six months in prison at her sentencing, which is scheduled for Oct. 27.[/QUOTE]

The details of her drug use and life of addiction are jarring and depressing:

[QUOTE]A search of Taylor’s residences and car turned up large amounts of marijuana and drug paraphernalia after the shooting, and police officers found a digital scale, pills and marijuana in her car when she was stopped for speeding in 2021, according to court documents in the federal case. Taylor denied any knowledge of the drugs in her car.

Gwynn has said the 6-year-old will not be charged with a crime because of his age. Police have not released a motive for the shooting, but it occurred two days after he was suspended from school for smashing Zwerner’s phone. The boy is now living with his grandfather and receiving therapy. He is attending a different school.[/QUOTE]

Look at how marijuana has absolutely ruined this lady's life? Why are we legalizing a substance that is this destructive?[/quote]
