A troubled daughter nearly killed her mom, Kimberly A. Jacobs’ story has shocked an entire community.
This bitch needs to suffer just like her parents did!!
HORRIBLE EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
And how is attempted murder in this case simply dropped? She admitted to having a plan to kill them. That’s premeditated. Mental illness or not, it seems like the attempted murder charge should stick. Something isn’t right here, beyond the obvious nature of the crime itself.
This is such a tragic story, but yet, not surprising. There are a lot of young people out there taking care of their parents because our country does not provide affordable care for the elderly. That in and of itself is a crime. I’m not saying killing is the answer, but when your alone and no one is willing to help you regardless of the reason, sometimes you just see no hope. She was at her wits end, my heart goes out to them all. Go ahead folks say what you need to say. But, until you walked in someone elses shoes. Don’t judge!
TWO YEARS????????????? That sow should be in prison for 35 years at least. She almost killed her own mother.
yikes….nice valentines gift sis.
