		<description>There is no even handed info about this case, for instance do you know that she was living with another man&#039;s house and had a boyfriend, so she was not with this pimp. She had people who could have helped. also she lured the victim to a hotel, telling him she would spend the night with him, shot him at point blank range, then stole over $1,000 and his new jaguar, drove it to meet the other men, she also tried to rat out her boyfriend and implicate him and the other man, saying the other man forced her to kill her. The victim can&#039;t tell his side of the story.  I think she twisted the truth for her benefit.  Just because Foxy does not sound educa just because she doesn&#039;t write well does not mean she does not know the real story, the news media often gets the facts wrong, she personally knows the people involved. I don&#039;t agree with life w/o parole, since she was an abused child (by her mother) but why didn&#039;t she go to a Teacher for help if she was smart enough to write a book? Many young girls are fascinated by this lifestyle thanks to the media and rap music.  Then they get in to deep and realize its not glamorous as they thought. people feel sorry for her because she speaks well and gives a good impression in the video, she killed someone in could blood. She was not locked in a room or tied to a bed.</description>

		<description>I read the commment that FOXY who knew her wrote.  The comment alone shows the kind of atmosphere she was living in.  FOXY is obviously quite uneducated as FOXY has mispelled very simple words and FOXY considers a pimp their &quot;peoples&quot;.  You know a person by the kind of people they surround themselves with.  Birds of a feather.  When I listen to this girl talk, I hear intelligence, I hear educated (even though in prison).  FOXY my adivse to you is if you are in the same kind of business or atmosphere that this person was in, you can do better with your life.  This girl is in prison and chose to educate herself.  You can do the same.  Thank goodness prison helped her get out of that atmosphere.  At least she is reading books and making good use of the time.  Even if she was living with her father in California, she still had a mother who was on drugs and only God knows if her father took the time for her.  She said plainly that the pimp took everything, so of course he had money.  Her thinking at the time of 13 was shallow, but look at her educators?  Now, she realizes that there is better in life to be had.  She should be given another chance.  There are a lot of regrets in life, and unfortunately some of them we have to pay for dearly.  I hope that the justice system would find it in their hearts to give her at least parole to be able to prove herself.</description>

		<description>What this shows you that the country is overrun with liberal judges in California and the rest of the US. What do you idiots expect you put these liberal in office now deal with it. California is the most liberal State in the Union, but they sentenced her to life plus four years. Riverside Superior Court jury of seven women and five men found her guilty of First-Degree murder. Seven women who did not like her and wanted her in prison instead of being in a hospital getting help.  Five guys who went along with the prosecutor too. You have elected these judges and the prosecutor to office that run their own agenda and do not follow the law. I feel sorry for her, but it is all your faults. You all reelected them.</description>

		<description>Has anybody found or heard anything further about this? It is extremely sad, that she as a 16 year old was firstly put into the position that she considered and carried out a murder, however being 16 years of age, you are old enough to know whether or not killing is wrong, and you know there will be consequences to face, but on the biased side, being 16 she is still somewhat a child, a very angry hurt child with no thought of consequence until after the crime and she killed this man. I do not believe she was wrong in her act of murder,living a life like that and having to see the man who has caused you to be who and what you are day in and day out must be mind boggling for anyone, let alone a 16 year old abused child with no REAL guidance. The man she killed, he deserved to die for everything he had done to her and all of the other girls he was grooming. However him deserving to die is just an opinion of us on this forum, i am not saying that hes actions where right but if she had had the right guidance and support from the SOCIETY she would have made the right choice and not killed him, he would be in jail. But him being in jail, he would not get life imprisonment with no parole, he would be out on the streets eventually, and he would not deserve to see the light of day, he had the punishment he was due. Poor woman, i hope and pray she manages to make it out of the jail before she dies,; has she just become a name lost in the system? Can not find anything on the internet or anywhere about her, her case, only a video from 2009. If any one has anything or any information on her, please post up!!</description>

		<description>i just watched this again, this girl is a victim yet she is sorry for taking the life of the scum that made her life a misery,
Society has to take blame for this, the judge said it was well thought out&#039; yes by a child your clown so she should have been tried as a child,
I wondered if it was because she was black but there is over 2000 kids like this white and black so its not about colour.

in th Uk a judge sentenced a woman to 7 days imprisonment for taking her kids library books back late and woman get jailed for non payment of Tv license
The reason is to have an effect on other woman that they dont do the same, this extreme sentencing could be to send a message to other teens that if they step out of line this is what will happen.

Its wrong and more people have to get involved, just because it does not effect you directly now it could later on.
My best wishes to a genuine girl.
Why have we let these nutters who think this out&#039; get in power most of these judges could not judge a cat show.</description>

		<description>Trying a child as an adult is changing the facts, life without parole is a disgrace and the USA has over 2000 kids like this, society lets these kids down and are shifting the blame back to them.
We live in a crazy world the UN killed 27 Afghanistan children and woman the other day and said they were &quot;Embarrassed&quot; not sorry.

It appears a child cannot make one mistake without having to pay with life in prison when authorities can kill as many people as they wish with no price to pay.

Something has to change.</description>

		<description>Wow, all of this is amazing.  This is an old story that has just now come to light.  becca, you&#039;re a fucking idiot!  Had to throw that in.  I don&#039;t condone murder/crime period.  But, there are always two sides to every story.  G.G. had a mother who probably didn&#039;t even know he was a pimp, so prayers for the family that lost a son, brother, father, uncle, etc.  

BHowever,this child has definitely done some time for her crime.  She was a victim.  No matter what, I saw an intelligent young woman remorseful for all the negative things that have transpired in her lifetime.  She&#039;s had 13 years to do nothing but sit and think about what she&#039;s done.  Not just for Sarah, but for any juvenile sentenced so harshly and are showing potential of being a productive member of society, let&#039;s hope the judicial system doesn&#039;t abandon them.</description>
