[talaxian1]

SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH THIS VIDEO. THANK YOU

[talaxian1]

WHAT THE FUCK DID HE SAY?

[TheAmazingGlork]

She is really cute. Poor girl.

[idontloveducks]

WTF, why couldn't you translate what she said in the interview? That's why I turned on CC

[kwile77]

where are the subtitles?



[jaokguy]

yay team! this disgusting, perverted cunt got exactly what she deserved. i'd actually like to see her on death row but i'll suffer with this sentence. i did a jig in the middle of the street when this sentence came down. 16 or 21, doesn't matter. if she commits murder at 16 i don't wanna know what she'll do at 21. this piece of shit girl is a bad seed. she was born a killer and will always be a killer. no such thing as rehabilitation, only incarceration.

[jensmusicfaves]

Sorry, she was never raped by her dad. And there is no evidence (other than her own testimony - and then only after she'd been accused of his murder) that she was physically abused by him, either. Others (dad's girlfriend, other relatives, friends) testify that there was no physical abuse.

[IndividualParties]

Most kids aren’t going around murdering people, because I’m pretty sure they understand it’s not right. Kids aren’t like wild Chimpanzees. I just think they might be more impulsive than adults; they should be given the opportunity to show some kind of reform in their adult lives. But murder should never result in a 5-6 year juvenile sentence. They should be spending significant portions of their adult lives in adult prison until a parole board releases them.

[Jan240240]

if she was abused by her father this sentence is wrong, but if its true that she told this just to her boyfriend to force him killing her father this sentence is right!!

[CruisIn1500]

Yeh let her out and let her kill your kids next. Bleeding heart videos for criminals who are sorry they got CAUGHT.

[fortyfifthnoodle]

I hope all of her appeals are ignored and that she remains in prison for what she did.

[skbfamiliar]

wow, this "news" show is the most biased piece of shit i've ever come across. she was raped by her dad? um, no she wasn't. she's a victim of a merciless american criminal justice system that puts poor little kiddies away for life? um, no. she plotted the death of her father, and stood by while her boyfriend bashed her dad's skull in and dumped him in a tupperware container. and then she admitted it all under oath at trial.

this bitch is exactly where she's supposed to be.

[Darthbelal]

@skbfamiliar the thing the "oh let the poor little girl go" crowd should ask themselves is do they want HER to be living next to them?  Would they want her dating their sons? Ms Courtney murdered her own father because of puppy love over some guy and that she ran up his dad's credit cards. Would you want to be some woman who "steals" her boyfriend?

Courtney is dangerous to society and she needs to stay in prison.

[mo1948able]

@Darthbelal she was a kid, therefore she didn't fully comprehend what she was doing

[tiffa357]

@mo1948able my 5 yr old sister knows the diffrence between LIFE and DEATH. she knows the diffrence between GOOD AND BAD. ALL ofus do. you can not tell me for a SECOND that you honestly believe that a 16 yr old teenage girl doesnt know its a "no no" to kill people? bull shit, she deserves what happened to her and to top it off, if her father did what she claims, would it be so hard to call 911, maybe run away? you cant say she was afraid bc obviously she wasnt afraid to have him murdered!

[tronclay]

@tiffa357 you are asking if its "so hard" for a child to run away from her home after her father had probably been grooming her and raping her for years? Im not saying it was right to kill him but seriously.... Use your fucking brain. If she had a reason to believe he was about to rape her then in most states she would have had the RIGHT to kill him in self defense.

[tiffa357]

@tronclay self defense huh? alright, id love to see some physical proof of abuse or rape. but there isnt any sweetheart. you do the crime, you do the time. simple as that. if her dad raped her then why not take it up woth the authorities? or possible defend yourself when he tries. y dont you use YOUR brain?

[coockiehouse]

@mo1948able you cant just say she didn't know what she was doing, you don't know that i knew what right and wrong was long before her age. also when you say it like that, it makes it sound like the main reason you should not commit murder is because of the punishment you get, rather than it being wrong.

[IfUOnlyFeltNoble]

@skbfamiliar

these personal circumstances (rape, adol. etc) you dont pay any attention to r in fact the embodiment of a court trial. otherwise we could just simplify the process and say: killers are supposed to be locked up forever.

situation in FL is complicated. if juvenile law is applicable the convict gets out at 21, no matter if rehabilitated or not. many jurists have a problem with that and impose adult sentencing with a mandatory life without parole. HOWEVER, we all know it's bullshit

[trentmuch1]

@skbfamiliar

"she plotted the death of her father, and stood by while her boyfriend bashed her dad's skull in and dumped him in a tupperware container."

So you were a primary witness. Did you cut a deal with the DA? You can't have seen her do all that and not be charged with conspiracy....!

Or are you one of those mindless people who imagines they know the whole story without really actually knowing jack shit?

[Royalmistress22]

@trentmuch1 She admitted it...

[rocksmusicsurfgirl]

Where are the subtitles?

[622moro]

i went to highschool with this girl

[ephiebearTV]

don't understand sympathy 4 her. She kills her father because he got mad she used his credit cards and didn't want her being with that guy. So you know what he got? Repeated blows to the head with a metal baseball bat. Blood on every inch of that room. Then they stuffed him in a tub. She had no remorse. She felt she had a right to do it. Stupid girl, stupid country for allowing this behavior. We're not strict enough on our kids-We let them do anything and then make excuses for them-Shame on us.

[ephiebearTV]

@xmtsystems firstly watch your language. Don't be ignorant. actually, her father did not rape her. She admitted that in court and said she killed her father because he was standing in the way of her being with the guy. Transcripts from the case also disproved that claim. She only told the boyfriend that her father abused her. How come when someone kills someone they try to use sexual abuse as the reason.

[ephiebearTV]

@xmtsystems We have to take responsibility for our actions. She knew what she was doing and had nothing to do with rape. It's so easy to blame the dead isn't it?

[jaokguy]

this disgusting cunt got exactly what she deserved. i'd have her on death row if i was able to. ...and for all the morons with iqs hovering around 70 that think she shouldn't have been tried as an adult.....kiss my ass in sears window. sorry to bust your immense bubble of denial but EVERY 16 year old kid knows murder is a no-no. that is unless the kid is evil , as this bitch is. rot in hell ya cunt and i hope u get beaten to within inches of your life in prison.

[doombuggy123]

This is weird because there's a documentary (Every F---ing Day Of My Life) about a woman who killed her physically abusive husband with the help of her son and they were both sentenced to ten years in prison. I don't see how a kid who didn't actually take part in the murder could a sentence worse than an adult who did.

[jadyqg12511]

I feel so bad for her. Anybody that can put someone in prison for life has to have no heart.

[5jerry1]

Guy interviewing the girl looks like Charlie Sheen.

[lmos26]

If my son were to murder me I would never want him to spend life in prison which is a fate worse than death. If I were capable I would forgive him and I would only want him to get physiological help. After seeing this and living in Florida as well makes me feel that maybe I should write something similar a will demanding this not happen to my kid in case it ever happens even though the self righteous prosecutors would ignore my wishes...shooting her in the head that would of been more humane

[joroma77]

In Sweden she'd do a couple of years in some low security institution, talking to a psychiatrist every now and then. That's it. My country is too soft and USA is too tough. Can't there be an ideal inbetween somewhere?

[hollyzone]

she's an arrogant brat who is exactly where she should be.

[wroenn]

Only two countries in the world have refused to sign the "UN Convention on the Rights of the Child"!

The U.S. and Somalia.

Nothing left to say.....

[HidingInDarkness]

Here's my logic. You broke the law. Or you assisted someone with breaking the law. Or you persuaded someone else to commit an unlawful act. Your going to pay the price and go to jail. If you don't want to go to jail, then don't break the law or hang with people that are prone to run ins with the cops. Simple law broken= jail time. Its not that hard to understand.

[JSasRays]

@HidingInDarkness yeah her dad raped and beat her, id kill that fucker myself. stfu troll

[xRipzo]

and i was charged as an adult at 13, and they said to me i was looking at 2 years in juvie, but i took the deal because i wanted not to go jail. And if i didn`t abide by probation i would get 60 days added onto a 2 year sentence. And this person got murdered and charged as an adult but i didn`t kill no one and still got charged as an adult. Pathetic on all boundaries. Fuck the justice system

[xRipzo]

You know what`s even more fucked up. I`m in Canada and got Charged with Threatening and Threatening with a Deadly Weapon, even tho the gun was not loaded, and the other teen that i threatened was a block away. He called the Cops, i got arrested, spent the night in jail, i got printed, went to video court, then had to go to provincial court, and then i was notified i was being charged as an adult, my dad got me a lawyer .And my lawyer made a deal. I got 1 year probation and 50 hours.Got adult tho

[kimar319]

damn she is fine...what a waste

[btstv]

This NEVER happens here in Europe. Many Child criminals reform and live good lives afterwards. America is so full of hate....where will it lead?

[1000OceansWide]

I LOVE HOW SHE GETS LIFE! BUT PEOPLE WHO MURDER CHILDREN GET 20 YEARS!!!

[ad1665]

Americas fuckin crazy they don't consider the mental health of children criminals such as immaturity and ADHD. On so on there minds are still developing and dint know how to act and think like adults I'm 25 now and still have trouble making the right decisions I suffer from compulsive disorder and many others do it just goes indected, I'm not saying everyone who commits crime is the same but look at the case of timothy Kane aged 14 its crazy

[oobah2]

JUVENILES SHOULD NEVER BE TRIED AS ADULTS. Our justice system is so hopelessly fucked up. People get sentences of 25+ years for dealing drugs. I know what she did was a heinous crime, and she should get a substantial amount of prison time for it, but one has to look at the context of what she did. She was trying to get out of a godawful situation. To treat her crime on the same level as, say, Melinda Loveless, and take her entire life away like this is so sad. What a fucked system. Depressing.

[brandyleebrown78]

I know Courtney personally, she is a beautiful bright girl. If ever given the chance to live a free life she would excel beyond anyone's wildest dreams. And I believe she should have this chance!!!!

[farronx]

@brandyleebrown78

that's laughable. maybe we should let all the folks out w/ similar crimes so they too can "excel beyond anyone's wildest dreams"? gimme a break.

[brandyleebrown78]

@farronx , Although Courtney is in a horrible place and made a horrible decision she has seen how the other half lives......Real criminals.....Please rest assured that if given the chance she will make something of herself..There are some people who deserve to rot for their crimes....However Courtney was trying to escape abuse..there is a difference. 

[mlc2005]

Wasn't she granted clemency by the gov of CA this month (Jan. 2011)? I'm pretty sure, which means 25 years to life, with the possibility of parole. I'm happy about that.

[starwinx10]

IM AMERICAN. I want people to know that not all Americans are assholes. i dont agree with this system at all.

[MrNobody808]

This is what happens when you have reactionary law makers, who make knee jerk reactions, to public outrage. Its not justice.

[MrAcardell]

shes so cute... that's terrible, i hope her case gets overturned.

[highlandsh]

When you are tried as an adult, the court considers you an adult for their own purposes. If you are aquitted, they say "we are sorry we arrested you incorrectly, determined you were an adult for the trial but now that is over and you are a child once again" What an injustice. If they were truly adults in the eyes of the law they would STILL be adults afterwards, that is, they could sign contracts, vote, marry, drink etc. If they are unqualified for those things they are not adults til of age.

[kra1zy]

the only sentence that comes to my mind is when looking at this god forgives but not the fuckin states

[1CME90]

This is why you don't kill someone people; there is always a better way to handle the situation, PERIOD...!

[la2bkk]

It's quite simple. Do not murder people, especially family members. Do not request that others do so for you. That is the law in America, and all Americans know the consequences.

All murderers have an excuse, and hers is just that. Unproven. But even if true, this murderer could have gone to other family members, police or other authorities for help.

The world is a safer place when killers are behind bars.

[ffviiffviii]

@la2bkk wtf!!! HER DAD MURDERED HER CHILDHOOD BY DOING WAT HE DID so u just need to go get a gun and shoot urself..wait no better yet i would get ur dad to come shove his dick up ur ass/vagina and see what u do!!!!!

[la2bkk]

@ffviiffviii Sorry buddy. Her allegation is just that, i.e., an excuse without evidence. The jury heard her story and sentenced her for her crime. May she enjoy life behind bars. Just what she deserves.

[fashionhistorylover]

@la2bkk What if her dad really did abuse and raped her over and ov er again. I don't agree with what she did but she was victimized by this guy.

[PanzerBlitz43]

@la2bkk yes you're correct according to your holy US laws the whole US government should be behind bars. They murdered and tortured in Afghanistan and Iraq, and not only that they're pedophiles including this corrupt florida judge and prosecutor who commit crimes every day.

[ChannelingusIV]

@wheelslarbac Why is it the US has these problems and Europe doesn't (not nearly to the degree we have them)? Is it possible that many of those in prison who are young have parents who could be considered negligent? Responsible in some way, any way?

Are you saying that any incest victim has the legal right to murder their parents rather than report it to the police? Acquit her and you establish a HUGE legal precedent

[ChannelingusIV]

This whole trying a child as an adult doesn't make sense to me. if a 16yo murders they are assumed an adult and knew what they were doing............but....when a 16yo has an affair with her school teacher (I knew of a case like this) she's suddenly too young to understand what she's doing.........she understands murder but doesn't understand sex with her teacher?? Makes no sense.

[brandisman1]

@ChannelingusIV wow never really looked at it like that good point

[IndividualParties]

@ChannelingusIV

It's just a legal conundrum. If they are tried as Juveniles in juvenile court, then they get a juvenile sentence. This means that a 16 year old could commit just about any hideous crime imaginable, yet still be released by the time they're 21. When they use to run Juvenile murderers and rapists through the juvenile system it resulted in high recidivism rates, pressuring courts to impose more appropriate consequences on violent juvenile felons to protect the public.

[EmceeSpawn]

@IndividualParties

It's illogical though.

[123perrin]

i feel sorry for her, but she planned and carried out a murder with her b'friend. would have been best if she'd put her father away for life for raping her. and i realise it can be tough for some ppl to confront these issues. but look at where its got her. she not only ended her fathers life, but in effect ended her b'friend and her own life in the process.

[ffviiffviii]

@123perrin he wouldnt of got life he would of got three years and some probation thats whats wrong with this ppl only knw a lil bit!!!!

[ultradumbass]

i agree juveniles should not go unpunished and can serve time in adulthood if the parole board agrees, i may even agree with her serving time in a detention centre for a certain amount of years as some sort of punishment since the court never proved it was premeditated but shows she tried hiding evidence. i know in pennsylvania if you commit murder you're automatically an adult and they only give life sentences.

[th3w3rks]

If I could set her free I would do it in a heart beat. As well as fire the judge

[8mmg8]

@th3w3rks The judge sadly had no alternatives to decide between - life without parole was mandatory for 1st degree murder under adult law (and she was tried under adult law, though she was only 16 at the time of the murder).

A couple of issues have gone completely wrong here.

[TCHill19]

@8mmg8 OH DAMN RIGHT! MORE THAN YOU THINK HAS GONE WRONG HERE! First of all why is a judge imprisioning a young female when she isnt an adult after that...i will say it now my sisters were raped and abused by my stepfather and i had to hold back the urge to kill him but to imprison her for life with no possibility of parole is just plain stupid...her father abused her in degrading ways. Let that judge burn in hell for that decision!

[ultradumbass]

@TCHill19 before you shoot your mouth off understand in florida the only sentences you can get is life without parole or death. if she were 18 she could technically have gotten death but since she was 16 it was life. i know it may not seem fair but you can't blame the judge as it is the only sentence he can legally give. at least in florida you have to be 10 to be tried as an adult, in pennsylvania there is no age minimum. any age that murders is automatically sentenced to life there.

[ultradumbass]

@TCHill19 or in other words the show cold case which i rarely seen basically means all those people you see being arrested are basically going to spend the rest of their lives there. i heard there was an episode where a 10 year old was arrested for killing someone at 5 on the show once, and in that state he would be tried as an adult even if he had been 5 at the time of his arrest. in pennsylvania you can technically be sentenced to death, but not likely, as none have happened in 15 years.

[ultradumbass]

@TCHill19 the same is technically true under michigan law but it is easier to be tried as a juvenile. generally the only juveniles they ever try as adults are those who premeditated the killing or killed more than one person, but there have been people as young as 13 arrested there also. in pennsylvania there are currently 450 people under 18 serving a life sentence, plus another 4,000 serving life that are older than 18 for something they did when they were younger than 18.

[Striker4928]

@8mmg8 "sadly" my ass. You are talking about a police state equivalent to Nazis that makes the soviet union look tame-US is one of the most corrupt and anti human rights countries in the world. Most US judges, police thugs, prosecutors & prison contractors exist to manufacture criminals for PROFIT. They give draconian sentences for minor offenses, trump up charges on kids and the poor, wreck futures with police "records". There's a reason why US has the largest prison population in the world.

[OramAndy]

@Striker4928 Interesting 

[sociomike]

@Striker4928 They just started construction on a huge prison hospital outside of Stockton, CA.....I've been noticing this more and more. Money is taken out of school systems and directly/indirectly funneled towards the penal system. It's scary the way the future is shaping up and not too many seem to be aware or even care.

[klesks8686]

@Striker4928

"You are talking about a police state equivalent to Nazis that makes the soviet union look tame"

LOLOLOL, yeah fucking right, give me an example here. I like these extreme comparisons, the U.S. may have issues in the justice system, or with nonsense like the "patriot" act , but nothing that compares to the soviets or nazis, lol.

[BlRaidX]

@8mmg8 They said regardless of her age they try as adult, Its stupid she is a child she should be tried as such. Regardless of the abuse claims which even officers said father previously admitted to beating her.

[ejr23]

@th3w3rks I would LOVE to break this innocent girl out of prison.

[EnglanderUK]

Nice way to ruin someones life you old crusty cunt of a judge. Had your life ain't ya.

[ultradumbass]

@EnglanderUK the judge has to give life without parole. in florida 1st degree murder is either life without the possibility of parole or death. since she was under 18 she could only be sentenced to life. the judge could technically acquit her if he wanted but the problem was she at one point admitted to having ordered her father's death. and if you acquit somebody and it turns out they really did do it they can't be sentenced a second time for the same thing.

[63champ]

US is a country full of retards. Ruled by retards. In many ways it is a third world country. And the strage thing is, they think they are top of the world.

[deweytrux]

The USA figures itself as a moral beacon of the world. Nothing could be further from the Truth.

A land of guns, crime, ridiculous prison terms. And churches. A sick and perverted society.

[ultradumbass]

@deweytrux for me i don't have anything against life sentences for murder, violent rape/abuse and extreme cases of robbery and terrorism, but i also believe people should be eligible for parole after a certain time. the problem is there are only 7 states in the USA where murderers can be eligible for parole. technically new jersey has parole but you must serve at least 63 years of a 75 year life sentence to be eligible. that means you'll basically be in your 80's when you can apply.

[deweytrux]

Oh Wow. The good ole US of A. Land of guns, crimes, ridiculous prison terms--and churches. Yep, they're God fearin' and they *know* 'God's' will. Sick, really.

[MRDEVILCLOWN89]

thats just sad,no lil kid deserves life in jail.i met lifers while doin time for petty shit.its harsh

[volodymyrm1]

i am kinda harsh to people who does deserve punishment but this is too extreme for a 16 year old female to spend rest of her life in prison

[ultradumbass]

@volodymyrm1 well if you don't want to see this then start changing some laws. because in florida this is the minimum sentence a judge could give. and remember during her sentencing, there was a brief period where prosecutors wanted the death penalty, but the judge denied it and made it a life sentence. since back then it was not yet illegal to hand over a death sentence to kids who committed a murder before march 14 2005. it was only in 2007 after a 2 year moratorium that juvenile death ended.

[VictoriatheNomad]

IT IS NOT CONSTITUTIONAL!!!!!!!!!!

[Circey5519]

This is all too common. WAKE UP AMERICA!!

[MrGhostXMASpast]

only the killer is the killer.. sure, she should get a decade for planning it, but she didn't have the guts to do it herself. i'll leave my personal feeling about the extreme BS that is the morman religon and how i feel they all deserve pnishment for being mormans. in this incident alone the boyfriend is the actual murderer, not the girl

less we forget "her dark intent guides his murderous hand" meaning women don't have the stones

[warhol1968]

sounds to me like a child molester got what he deserved.

[th3w3rks]

wow what a threat to the world. She must be imprisoned for life. God what a horrible horrible thing to happen to such a young girl. Fuck that judge.

[Paulph04]

I don't usually have a problem with life sentences when it's deserved, but this seems so sad. Especially since she was abused by her father and was under 18 at the time of the crime. Surely she deserves another chance someday.

[MrGhostXMASpast]

florida is full of old people

those old people are pedophiles

she should ave the right to murder her rapist father, but in florida all the old men look at her like meat

old men like the judge there protect themselves just like the priests do

[ultradumbass]

@MrGhostXMASpast seriously, read more into the case and florida state laws before making such a retard of a statement. in florida 1st degree murder is automatic life sentence, and if you are of age you could also get death. remember also at the time of her sentencing, it was not illegal to hand a death sentence to anyone under 18, so the judge could easily have had her sentenced to death but he didn't.

[126gypsy]

what a waste of a pretty young girl

[PhuTube714]

free our children!!!!

[forestskog]

It's just disgusting. What the fuck have we become in this country. I am pro death penalty. I am pro life in prison. But not kids!

[Ulquiorra4th]

what about justice?

[ultradumbass]

@forestskog what do you consider kids? either you support life sentence or you don't. for me i do not support life without parole sentence for either juveniles or adults. i believe 1st degree murder can be a mandatory life sentence at any age but each age group and those with severe mentality might be eligible for parole at an earlier date. also if you want to be effective you must allow day parole somewhere during the sentence so prisoners can re adapt back to society.

[whammy9531]

Tambien como Courtney Schulhoff de 16 anos, debe que necesitar las ayudas de psiquiatra y psicologia en vez de senteciarla a la presa por todo de los acompices que ella han actuado con el novio. Asi como el han asesinado a la papa de ella. Y la papa de ella tiene el razon, ella debe que hacer el caso a su papa y poner cuidado como el dicen, respectivamente.

[whammy9531]

Also for Courtney Schulhoff @ age 16 rather to be put to psych ward and seek for psychiatric and psychological help instead of being put to prison for all acomplices that she acted on with her boyfriend as he was hired to murder her father. Her father could be right, she should've listen to her dad as he tells her, respectively.

[1405Indy]

Ich bin erschrocken und sehr traurig!

Wie kann so etwas sein?

Ihr Leben lang???

In Deutschland fährt ein Mann ein Kind absichtlich an, um sie dann vorsetzlich zu vergewaltigen.....er bekam 10 Jahre!!! Mit 41 Jahren, geht sein Leben normal weiter...
