Not sure what relevance this holds here. She’s the monster people think we all are. She deserves the prison sentence.

Their just taking everything out on her because he’s dead.
She was a predator though she took pleasure in all her activities.
When the FBI found her she was about to make a run for the border with her phone rapped in aluminum foil.
Meanwhile they got me blasted all over the internet, Im not allowed to participate in society I’m just trapped here waiting to die for something that happened 27 years ago when I was 17.

It’s a strange case. I don’t think we’ll ever know what really happened.
