Now dude with another woman 🤦🏾♂️
Exactly! 😂
Dude literally got another woman right there in the court.
Facts
EXACTLY!!
Exactly 💯😂😂😂
Imagine throwing your life away for somebody that doesn't want you
That’s terrifying the way you put it 😩😅💔💔
Hmmm.
Many black women
@@tiffanybrown368Not this one though
@@electriclioness4607many
And she still didn't get the Man!!!
She’ll get a prison “wife” now.
He should count his lucky stars.
Let's look on the bright side, instead of getting the man, she got life without parole.
@@Egypt4814CC all women g** anyway
She could have hired her hit man to be her pretend boyfriend. 😂
She wanted a man, who didn't want her, so instead of just moving on and finding another man or woman, you commit a murder-for-hire, why? Were you hoping that when she is dead, THAT man would come running back to you? Now, you are in prison for the rest of your life, and the man you wanted, will eventually move on to another woman, while you grow old in a prison cell...ALONE! People are so damn stupid!
Not only that, she has THREE damn children.
This is way beyond stupid, this is evil.
Exactly her looks are going to be destroyed decades later in prison. Is never worth. No man or woman is worth throwing your life away spending the rest of your life in prison. I've would have moved on and find someone else that was better than him. But she choose to hire a hitman.
Women no man is worth fighting over if they don’t want you please move on , the consequences are not worth it .
Is this a bad dream? Wtf was she thinking??? You stupid MF😫😫😫
They took a good mother away from her son and from society. Justice has been served.
Unfortunately, this isn’t justice. Justice is restorative and nothing can ever restore what Rachel’s loved ones lost. 💔
@Layla-hw2xz great point.
...with a side of 🍟
Jealousy is a green-eyed monster.
Im the green eyed monster
I'm the one eyed monster. I know you want some 😂
#Jealousy has been a DEADLY #SIN since CANE and ABEL ✝️
good Queen tune on Jazz album
Jealousy is a life sentence.
Life in prison sounds about right.
No it’s not if I was a judge and anyone who kills a female I can’t say it because KZhead is like Mark Zuckerberg the will block our stuff yes I’m a Blk
In Texas murder for hire is an automatic death sentence, so she got off easy.
Is it life without parole is the question. A life sentence is only 25 years without the enhancement.
@CCmagee3 I can't really say it I'm a black M from the south we love the FEMALES life's over males
Wish UK would adopt same
Over a man?!!! Now that you have taken her life, does he want you now? No! Just stupid
What some of y'all don't understand is that people like that don't care about "him wanting her now" or going to jail - they've played that scenario out in their head and are okay with the possible outcome. Nothing outweighs their hate and jealousy - she'd rather spend the rest of her life in prison than live free with so much bitterness, hatred, and jealousy. Whenever she feels down in jail, all she gotta do is think about how she got rid of that bword and she'll feel a lil bit better. That's the kind of person/people we're dealing with.
@@SeeYouMay have you ever been to prison? It takes a lot more than that to get you through. 25 years down the line they care. They all care and they all regret it.
@@andriataylor4758 Have I been to prison? No but I know someone who did 3.5 yrs for assault and said prison was terrible but what made it easier was knowing that he beat the ish out of that dude. That's part of where my analysis comes from. This is not a "you don't know if you haven't been to prison" thing. This is about a level of hatred and bitterness that exceeds any form of concern for ones freedom. I don't think you know how extremely hateful some people can be. Do you think these types of people don't know what they're going to deal with in jail, or know what others have been through/going through in jail? People like this can't sleep or be at peace without doing what they did. They'd rather die or lose their freedom than wake up every morning filled with hate and anger. Have you ever wondered why some people make it out of jail and end up going back? That's because they know what jail is like and are OK with it. Some people are just okay with prison. Yes they regret it because they've satisfied that craving that put them in jail in the first place, but that doesn't mean they'd do it differently given a 2nd chance. The act that put them in jail is medication for their anger /hate/jealousy issues.
I agree they may feel good or feel nothing at first but once those decades start melting away and they're realizing that they are going to die behind them bars it hit different @@andriataylor4758
@@SeeYouMayprofound analysis of this sad situation. Sounds like she couldn’t accept that the victim “won him over” and so she had to remove the competition to help soother her ego. I doubt she has any remorse
What kinda cold-hearted man would murder a random mother with her child in the backseat? There is no amount of money in the universe that would compel me to do that. Dude has no soul.
Contract killers come in at every payscale. This is just a low-budget contract. Kartels do it all the time.
He was a weed head that had bouts of homelessness...No real future. Life in prison is probably a relief for him. Now he consistently has 3 hots and a cot.
If a man doesn't want you, carry yourself like a woman and move on!!!! If a man is uninterested, move on. It's not worth spending the rest of your life in a state prison without parole!! Ladies know your worth!!!!
Unfortunately y’all think with y’all hearts and lady parts and never with the brain 🤷🏿♂️. Don’t worry that’s how you guys were created so I understand and no need for explanation. In her mind as she’s being led away she’s thinking at least Rachel can’t have him .
Absolutely agree
What gets me is the dysfunctional state of mind that someone subscribes to, the minute the very person that fooled and played them, plays them. Do they ever stop to think, that he's aiming to play whoever he chooses to play and just remove themselves from the scenario?!? Or do they really believe that someone as such could and would be able to love..........much less love them. It's like girl please!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Folk go through life role playing. The whole point of getting to know people, is to know exactly who they are. (not to be confused with who they want you to believe they are.) Accepting what you can negatively see in others isn't some negative that some how deprives you from making, having and experiencing good people.
@KwamePenny this sounds like some parroted rubbish! Who even buys into *and believes hype that all women were created a specific way. I'm going to guess that you believe that all males think with their private head and make all important decisions in their life with that head as well.
@@KwamePenny Uhh, actually MEN are statistically more likely to inflict violence when a parter doesn't want them, so what are you blabbing on about?
She hire's a killer and had her murdered, because she wanted her man? Then, he shoots her in front of her young child? Let's not forget the punk in New York, who stabbed a young sister to death, because she refused to give him her number. What's wrong with people? Rejection is a part of life!
Superceded privilege, Nobody's off limits...I bet she wudda done that to her own sister smh!

I feel for the father. Didn't lose my daughter to violence; just illness. No matter how, it still tears out a piece of your soul.
Yes. My son to mental illness. There is no healing 💔.
He raised a good young lady. Very sad.
He's the cause for cheating and getting caught with that overly obsessive woman... he's at fault too
Also ENDANGERING a child…
Lesser included offense. Wasn't needed at sentencing because in Pennsylvania 1st or 2nd degree murder is automatic life sentence. In this state there is no "good time" or parole after a certain number of years. They will NEVER get out. There is no parole for 1st or 2nd degree murder convictions in this state. Its forever.
How sad it is that her son watched someone murder her. They were delusional to think that they'd get away with that.
She'll be on Deadly real soon and Snapped!
I guess having the woman killed stops him from being with another woman while she rots in prison, what a goofball
And he’ll move on with another woman…
What I dont understand is Rachel's boyfriend testified that he only had an "off and on sexual relationship" with this woman. She has THREE children with a man and apparently could walk away from that relationship without someone dying, yet she's willing to kill over a casual sex situation? So weird...
You right.😢
For some women, it’s all about sex.
He viewed it as a sexual relationship, but apparently, she considered more than that and/or wanted more.
You know most men lie to get in the booty, fucking someone is a relationship to a certain degree,nuggas always say we were just fucking after something happens
@@mokahgirl5165a relationship is a relationship sex or not

When you don't take responsibility for the type of people that you accept and engage in your life. They will bring all types of shite your way. Whether or not other shitty folk is part of the menu.

And you STILL didn’t get the man by eliminating her, you only stole a child from their loving mom.
Stand up family. Glad the DA got them justice/closure.
This Black man killed a Black woman he didn't know and wore a suit to his trial. That's crazy.
It's crazy that a black man killed another black person? Pretty standard actually.
I guess he was supposed to show up naked.🤷🤷♀️🤷♂️
Hey BLM, where are you? Any sympathies for that black child that lost his mother? None huh? Oh I see, the killer was a black hired by a black woman, so when our own people kill each other, we, like the main stream media, won’t cover or make a fuss. Y’all dig it?
What’s that Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie movie they remade where they are contract killers?
@@Nebakrik88 Trading Places?
no parole. Life in prison.
Y’all people need to understand rejection and people don’t belong to you. People have free will to choose if they don’t want to be with you anymore.

In short, you are in A@#hole. It doesn't apply to garbage like you anyway. For you, there is another place to go.
She orchestrated this from start to finish just to leave a child traumatized by not only losing his mother but witnessing her demise in the end. And now that it's all said and done nothing has changed because he still doesn't want her. As she rots in prison, the fact of knowing he's definitely with another woman is going to eat every part of her mind, body, and soul alive!!!!
Let's hope so I hope once he finds love again someone keeps her in the loop from her cell
@@gammer4life-oc5nh I hope they don't!! Her not knowing and only wondering would be another form of justice because it's going to make her miserable and drive her crazy.
Glad you got some justice. May your daughter RIP. ❤
You kill someone because of a man that don’t want you and you basically threw your life away meanwhile he with someone else play stupid games win stupid prizes 🤦🏽♀️
Prayers for the family who lost her, and for her son.
What a beautiful mother, father and sister of this beautiful sister and teacher!
I agree awesome family may their daughter rest in peace and the perpetrators rot in jail
Over a million men and women out here and just wanna throw your whole life away for one🤦🏾♂️

Anyone that tells you to forgive someone who takes your loved ones life, is full of bs.
I still havent forgiven the man who killed my cousin. And hes been out for about 10 years now.
Yes. Stay angry and bitter for all eternity! 👿😈👿😈👿 Actually, forgiveness is powerful and it's very hard at times to do, but very possible through The Lord Jesus Christ.
Threw her own and another's life away for some dude... stupid.
You can tell you man hating hefers by your tone and word selection 😂
Someone doesn't love you, or chooses someone else over you, just walk away, especially cause you've done the same too. Go out, meet other people, spend time with them, you sure will find someone else who loves you back.
Sister u can take that weave outta ya head... u will NOT need it where u are going 👀

Im not bashing this sentence, but a cop in Mississippi torture, sexual abuse, and shot a man in his mouth, and got 20 years. Justice?
The shooter got 40. But I believe that was federal. Remember that they all plead guilty to avoid a trial. They had good counsel because Mississippi is full of black people and it would have been almost impossible to keep blacks off the jury in which case they would have been convicted and sent away for good.
Because he was doing what the court system doesnt do. Like putting away the ussual suspects like you away for good 😂

I wouldn't forgive my daughters killers by any means. We need to stop forgiveness for murders.
I understand what you are saying, but the majority of the time, forgiveness is not for the murderer's benefit, but for the victim's family members, which allows them to move on in life.
Forgiveness is not for the murderer. It's for the victim's family or victim. It's not good to hold on to all that anger and stress for the rest of your life it will be your demise.
Trust and believe, when people "forgive" like that, it is NOT for the murderer. It's for one's own peace of mind and sanity and, in some cases, to keep one from going out and committing murder, too.
My condolences to the family of this slain woman, mother, daughter, sister. 💜💐May justice be served.
Bless Rachel's family 🙏
I bet the murderers defense team was even try to get the kid dismissed like he aint a victim and the witness

Dear Fellow Black People: let's stop with the forgiving of people who do us dirty. That ol' time slavery ish is not necessary anymore. It is okay not to forgive people who have done you wrong, and you can still get into Heaven.
A true Christian, which I am sure the father is......the only way is forgiveness. Forgiveness releases the victims of bitterness and anger and even potential revenge. It does not at all excuse the criminal.
FACTS i hate hearing that slavery religion crap
Honestly my blood boils every single time i hear that statement of forgiveness and am a Nigerian living in the u.s. especially stories of black men released after many years wrongly imprisoned..how do u forgive those who destroyed your life..makes no sense
The bitterness you hold inside you will eat you up.
☝🏾 Great debate keep Whooping all over the bible Forgiveness is the essential key 🔐
This girl was sick. In most cases people kill the person that has left or trying to leave them. When you go so far to plan the execution of the other party, this is a whole level of evil. Rest easy and my condolences to Racheal’s family and friends.
