Teenage Daughter Uses Frying Pan to Murder Mother Over Bad Grades | Sydney Powell Case Analysis

her arrest photo looks like she was on meth

this happened about 90 min from my house. I fought alot with my mom when i was a teen, but we became best friends when i got older, this is so sad, my mom has passed away years ago, i miss her. I was suprised she didnt get a longer sentence.

Why do women get such little time in prison?? If that was a 15yr boy he would get at least 20yrs
Its bullshit

She knew what she did was wrong because she tried to cover it up with the phone call. She was pretending to be her mother.

Our “Justice System” is sick. She murdered her mother in the most brutal manner, depriving her mother of life for all eternity; yet the mother’s life is only worth 15 years in a prison that is going to provide the murderer with all of her needs. The message to criminals is clear: if you murder someone, the worst that can happen to you is that you spend 15 years in prison. I remember when I lived in Olathe, Ks, a jilted high school kid hid in his ex-girlfriend’s closet with a knife. Afterwards, he said he knew that he would have to “spend 15 years in jail”. That was 25 years ago. Last I heard, the young school girl he murdered is still dead. How is he doing?

She prob did not get along with her mother. That was a ruse to get her a lighter sentence, in my opinion.

I just don’t understand why Sidney really killed her mother or why she was failing in college. There has to be a reason behind it.

I guess “fried green tomatoes” can be deadly after all .

Look at that spoiled little turd

Entitlement has reached epidemic proportions.

Drugs.

She had everything to gain. She is a vulnerable narcissist. She feels sorry only about herself. And the judge and professionals bought it because she could cry.

Hard to believe a daughter will kill her own mom just to cover her problem. She is so terrible as a person and evil as a daughter.

I notice when you see people in court and in jail tey just look awful, no makup, hair aint combed, clothing usually orange or brown. At least make yourself presentable and respresntable or atleast responsible. Half the battle.

Oh, I thought the mother, hit her in the head with the fryin pan for gettin bad grades, but the daughter got bad grades & hit the mom?! How does that make sense? I beleve demons become involved when humans act stupid like that. That makes no sense. I remember back in the 80's if I got bad grades, I got the dang fryin pan!

Acted completely rational after the dirty deed. Had she manipulated her parents prior to college? She believed in a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Did she have a job

What did his parents for a job

Biological mother? Or step or adopted?

Google is always the #1 witness 😅

Sydney should have just tell the truth!

She should be in prison for life! 😠

How can she do this to her own mother? 😡

This is so crazy. I'm glad she is in prison and I hope she gets denied parole.

I have a 4 year old and all these stories of kids killing their parents is just crazy.

So she didn't want her mother to find out she was failing but was willing to risk years of prison time for killing her mom. Makes perfect sense 🤦

White culture

Amazing Dr. Grande!! Obviously Sydney knew what she was doing but a spoiled brat over something petty having an entire fit & murdered her mother. Yep

WOW, 15 years .... she got away with murder! Not guilty by reason of insanity should not be allowed as a defense. Rather a finding of insanity should be viewed as aggravating circumstances in sentencing, not mitigating circumstances, once guilt or innocence has been established. An insane criminal represents a far greater threat to others.

As far as Sydney Powell's go, we're 2 for 2 with regards to them being crazy sociopaths. Unless anybody is aware of more that serve as counter examples?

Lots of first hand experience would lend to being a good Trump lawyer.

No one can tell me that Chyna wasnt sexy. As a woman, she represented being strong and sexy and comfortable in her skin. She was an icon and a revolutionary in womens' sex appeal. I wish she knew that.

Hah. She failed psychology because she's a sociopath ... can't fathom normal human psychology it seems ..

She has the same name as the crazy lady trmpy lawyer

Only 15 years??!! Way to light.

This reminds me of Jennifer Pan a bit. Except Jennifer was much more sly than this girl.

The father knew about her flunking out and daughter was able to discuss it with her father rationally but not with the mother. Not that it changes anything you concluded, Doc. But the contrast in daughter's relationship with two different parents is striking and would seem to indicate some kind of pathology relevant to the case.
The above is from a layman with a BA in psychology ("A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." -Pope). Would love to hear what you think the dysfunction with mother but not wuth father is/was.
Thanks, Doc

I’ve watched several programs on this, but never heard such a linear, succinct description as yours. Thank you so much for saving me time in my research on this sad true crime.

So horribly tragic... There are a lot of reasons why this happened and we don't know the relationship between her and her mother but I believe the term psychopath might be the correct diagnosis given the amount of deception and manipulation even after the taking of her mother's life.

Jesus Christ! I know how scary it can be to talk to your parents about having failed at something, it’s actually really terrifying to me because the house I grew up in was incredibly strict. But to murder your mom rather than deal with the consequences is fucking nuts

Bro is a low key comedian… 😂😂

Is "temporary" insanity and insanity the same?

wow this was premeditated ? she looked up how to kill her mother?

her parents are so nice that i think she took advantage of them

the dad is gutless for supporting her

she should never get out what a psycho to beat your mom then stab her 23 times is insane man

She flew off the handle

Well... That's one way to make scrambled eggs! 😮

I loved this analysis, Doc. “Killing her own shame” is a brilliant interpretation that will stick with me forever. I subbed immediately.

Mother’s are not perfect, but don’t deserve their life be taken away especially from your own kid.

Mental health assessments today are so superficial.
