That doesn’t change the fact that she is responsible for her mom’s murder. It’s the same as any abused spouse who murders her (his) abuser but not while the abuse is happening. Meaning, self defense doesn’t apply.
She’d walked to the online paroled boyfriend's house. She’d left her mom before. She told the murdering boyf she could really walk. She had access to phones and computers. Many abused spouses never leave - they feel that trapped. That wasn’t completely G because she did leave a few times.
She needs intensive therapy and will have massive problems throughout life:
- felony record for murder
- health issues
- psychological issues
- addiction issues
- no solid and healthy relationships around her as she grew to emulate
- hasn’t learned boundaries as she grew
- not educated
- used to lying and manipulating
- immediate fame and placed on a pedestal
- jumps into a marriage
- has never lived independently
- no work history
- no known employment skills
- no common sense that we know of
- can’t do simple things that nearly everyone her age can (drive, budget, etc )
- sexual abuse
- surrounded by adults who failed her
It WAS terrible what happened to her - but she needs significant and lifelong help. Jumping on tv shows and getting married is the worse thing she can do right now. She should be quietly living with her step mom who seems like the most caring adult in her life.
She earned her HS degree in prison, and probably received some kind of job training or other. The marriage is unfortunate, but fingers crossed her turns out to be a nice guy.
There is absolutely no chance that a guy who reached out to her out of the blue in prison and jumped into a relationship and marriage is going to turn out to be a nice, normal guy.
Yeah that guy isnt nice. She lied about being in touch with her ex fiancé and he freaked out on her during one of the lifetime episodes. She's said repeatedly that she's not mentally healthy so you have to wonder what kind of person would willingly aide in making bad decisions like getting married so fast.

You're right he needs professional help and should have been placed in a mental facility. Gyspy is an urealible narrator and not very trustworthy but at least she's honest about it, and willing to work on it as she has been.

He enjoyed the killing and showed no remorse. No sympathy for him.

I don't understand; what will be enough for her to have redemption in many posters' eyes.
She plead guilty, went to jail and served time. She paid her debt. She was paroled. That's it, that's the end. What more do people want? Why is she being held to some impossible standard here that seems nothing she does pleases people.

umm I watched the prison confessions and her husband is off. He lies about writing to her. First he said he did it as a joke almost with his friend who wrote to tiger king. Then he tells her sister and step mom he wrote her the same day he found out about her story because she's cute. He also says weird things about "knowing" what wives should do and how he's going to teach her.
Yeah she's never going to be normal but i think she has a real shot if she devotes time. She has an unrealistic view on things and it's stopping her from making rational decisions. For example she does question the marriage and admits she doesn't know how to be healthy for someone else, but thinks their love will help figure it out. Obviously I blame him some here for egging it on. He could have easily encouraged her to get help and stay at her father's while she adjusts.

I think many people have said this before and this is just my opinion. I don’t think most people ignore or turn a blind eye to the murder, I think people have empathy for her that she was abused and turned against her abuser. The way she handled it wasn’t the best and Gypsy said that she regrets it and she wishes she could go back in time and change things based on what she knows now. She tried a couple things to get away from her mom and every attempt failed. Her mom had power of attorney over her and she was viewed by everyone as a mentally disabled person. She fully thought that no one will believe her so in that moment she turned to an option that doesn’t seem logical. When you go through abuse your brain is focused on survival and not the most logical way of thinking. That being said, I think murder is wrong and she deserved her sentence but I hope she will get therapy and live a normal life. Also, I understand that not everyone thinks the same and that’s okay

I know that when the boyfriend was at the house and she handed him the knife to murder her mother, maybe right about then they could have made a different choice and gone to the police.

She was taught to lie since she was born. No one should be surprised a monster taught their child to make monstrous decisions. She knows she was wrong now.
