Does anyone know if Gina and Amanda were at the sentencing hearing?

Who are the people standing on either side of her?

His ass better get shivved the first day. Hell, he should get shivved on the bus ride there.

Yes. She had been beaten so badly, and had no medical care for so many years that her face was permanently disfigured that she needed a lot of major facial reconstruction surgery.

I think he's embarrassed, not ashamed.

Agreed. I think all those years of abuse have significantly impaired her cognitivve function, like Rep. Giffords post-shooting. I do think, also like Rep. Giffords, that the sentiment is 100% her own, and was just dictated.

I'm pretty sure Michelle's part of the DeJesus family now, forever and ever, amen(fingers crossed, she deserves a loving family).

Yeah, only the shaky 'M.K.' at the very bottom is actually Michelle's handwriting.

Can anyone clear something up for me? Are they saying Castro intentionally left the door unlocked so that Amanda could escape? I missed the entire hearing.

No, I'm pretty sure that those comments were the sole property of Castro's fetid little brain. His lawyers looked downright queasy when he was rattling off this shit.

They all did, and the only fault attached at all is with Castro, end stop.

Also, Michelle intervened between Gina and Castro a lot, and absorbed a great deal of the sexual and physical violence Castro directed at Gina.

I missed something - what's the sex test?

HELO.

Well, Bristol, if we're aiming for consistency, how about you and your mom call out Rush Limbaugh for his remarks in the same way you called out Maher, Letterman, and "lipstick on a pig?"

Um, it's called the morning after pill.
