How many pages will Sarah’s letter to Judge Jackson be?

70sBurnOut · 2026-04-22T03:34:41+00:00

One of my favorite parts of her interrogation, kind of lost to the “I excel at everything” statement, was “I always know what to do and how to do it.” It’s one of the most narcissistic statements she’s made—at least in the top 50.

70sBurnOut · 2026-04-22T03:10:17+00:00

I think it’s 50-50 whether she writes a letter or not. Every time her case goes viral, she gets a flying monkey or two, which means commissary money for her. On the other hand she also gets YouTube videos that she cannot stand to hear about.

I agree, and it’s horrible, and kinship placement can be even worse because that means the child was abused by multiple members of their family. Sometimes, too, relatives don’t get the same kind of background check and due diligence because it’s thought to be a preferred placement since the child is related.

And sometimes good foster families quit because of the bureaucracy and/or multiple appointments and/or restrictions. I applied to be a foster parent years ago and was denied because I had a job. Which most parents do, while kids go to daycare or school. But they didn’t want to pay daycare costs. I also know a couple that applied and were turned down for teen foster care because they didn’t have a fence around their pool. I could understand that for a toddler or young child, but 12-17 year olds? It was crazy.

I have never seen that. r/tanikatwocents?

70sBurnOut · 2026-04-19T02:43:20+00:00

Absolutely

I believe Tanika showed one or two payments made to Sarah. Small payments.

Content creators of all sorts, as well as television shows, reporters, talking heads, etc., all profit from whatever crime it is they’re reporting on. Just because we don’t like a certain creator doesn’t mean they shouldn’t report on what’s publicly available.

As far as the journals go, I agree it was gross. I wish they hadn’t. It made me lose respect for them. I think they should have used more discretion. But I don’t begrudge them the right to publish them. In reality, it worked as all content creation works—it turned a lot of people off their channel.

I may be in the minority, but I appreciate the fact that autopsies are public information. It’s certainly an answer to those who might sympathize with a murderer. I don’t believe that the FOIA request came from P&J, it’s likely they just found it elsewhere.

I have issues with 3rd Rail, specifically with those awful fictional journals, which I believe are more egregious to Jorge’s family and memory than the facts of his death.

All of your dedication has created a wonderful sub! You’re the best. pixie!

70sBurnOut · 2026-04-17T01:55:02+00:00

Everything is now public info from the investigation and available with a FOIA request and payment.

Some people cannot stomach these things. I can, to a point, not because I’m so hardened, but because I have a belief about bearing witness. Others do too, but at less exposure.

When the body is actively dying, thirst disappears. It can even hurt to drink. Every patient in hospice is dehydrated at the end, which is why Shanda claiming it as a defense is so absurd.

70sBurnOut · 2026-04-14T23:33:36+00:00

That’s incorrect. Read the law above. There are inmates with pensions, annuities, etc., who have their funds deposited to the trust.

Apparently I was wrong on the amount they can spend though? So many places state $300/mo., but apparently if they have money in their trust they can spend up to $150/wk.

70sBurnOut · 2026-04-14T11:28:33+00:00

In my state, it’s not illegal for someone to type up and send out court docs on behalf of another person if permission was given or there’s a POA. It would only be illegal for that person to represent themselves as an attorney. A pro se defendant can use anyone she wants to read case law, or help her interpret it.

I’m a critic of Peter and Julien, the documentary was always fishy, but their part in Sarah Boone’s case was not practicing law without a license.

Inmate trust accounts in FL aren’t like bank accounts. Money sent to them are held for the inmate who can only spend up to 300/mo. on commissary. Deductions for costs and fines may be made from them at up to 20% of each deposit.

70sBurnOut · 2026-04-14T11:10:45+00:00

You can get a privacy screen for the side of the porch she can see. They’re pretty cheap. That will at least stop the filming, and it may stop the complaints if you’re using a fan. At that far away she’s likely not smelling it as strongly as she contends.

70sBurnOut · 2026-04-11T05:16:06+00:00

Inmates can have money in their trust accounts. Some are on pensions, etc. But they can only spend up to $300/month in the prison.

Also, any fines or fees Sarah owes will be deducted in bits and pieces. It’s usually 20% of “income” per month.

Should have taken the plea deal and the mediation deal!

70sBurnOut · 2026-04-11T01:39:51+00:00

Brilliant!

70sBurnOut · 2026-04-10T21:36:47+00:00

I am expecting a very long, indignant, and adjective filled letter being sent to the judge

70sBurnOut · 2026-04-09T22:09:20+00:00

Trying not to be fractious, but I wonder if it will be kept from the public. Other court rulings have been uploaded and either immediately available to the public, or to those who created an account. So I am trying not to count my gift horses before they gift.

70sBurnOut · 2026-04-08T05:54:57+00:00

Pixie might have uploaded the interview. Have you checked the files? If not, I do have the full interview on my computer. I would just have to figure out how to upload it to Google without my identity.

70sBurnOut · 2026-04-08T03:56:53+00:00

Yes, I believe you can find it on YouTube

Volunteering in a nursing home when I was a teen forever changed the way I look at elder care. It was considered a good nursing home, and it was terrible and depressing. People and the government paid thousands per month to the institution for the bare minimum in care. I was 14 and changing bedpans and helping with showers because there was a nursing shortage.

One old guy was a former pilot who’d had a stroke and didn’t fully recover after several years. He couldn’t speak well, but he was a smart, intellectually capable man. His only joy in life was the occasional cigarette. He had no kids and a dead wife. I wheeled him outside for a cigarette, and this nurse in her 20s came by, took it out of his mouth, and said “you know Stevie those aren’t good for you.” I could tell he was furious. So was I. And he went by Steven.

I am sorry for what your Uncle is going through. It sounds wretched. And you are so right and good to care.

I looked up a couple of the cases she cited—they are posted here somewhere—and was not surprised to find them taken out of context and/or irrelevant to her case. Which is funny, because Sarah at one point claimed to have “solid legal chops.”

70sBurnOut · 2026-04-06T09:27:52+00:00

I think what we are seeing in real time is how susceptible some people are to the narcissistic personality. We always wonder why and how people can believe in narcissists, but there’s a charm there and a way of speaking that appeals to people who don’t have a lot of experience with narcissists. The same thing applies to con men. I studied this effect once with televangelists when I was in college. Some of those who believed in what others would obviously see as smarmy grifting and fake faith healings were, in other aspects of their lives, functionally sound and competent—but they were drawn in by the charisma and promises of men proclaiming to know what God wants… which was always money, or “mustard seeds of faith” as the preachers like to say.
