social media and contact information, you can find in the
1:08
links below, please be forewarned that each episode
1:12
contains specific and it A very graphic and disturbing details
1:16
of the case and may not be intended for all audiences.
1:22
Familicide, family, Annihilation, familial homicide.
1:27
All of these are different terms that describe the killing of
1:30
one's own family, which all fit under the umbrella term of mass
1:33
murder. How familicide is Quantified is
1:36
quite complicated and it is often not agreed.
1:39
Upon by law enforcement nor researchers.
1:42
Some use familicide is a term to define the killing of family
1:45
members which can Encompass a wide range of related offenses.
1:50
These can include parents who kill their children, also known
1:53
as filicide. It may also involve crimes were
1:55
children call their parents, which is called parasite or may
1:59
include any perpetrator within a family who takes the lives of
2:03
another family member including that of the extended familial
2:07
Circle. Familicide is very rare, but
2:12
more than 50% of all mass murders within the u.s. involves
2:15
the killing of one or more of their family members, take the
2:19
Monstrous Twisted individual behind the Sandy Hook tragedy
2:23
whose first killing that day, was the murder of his own
2:26
mother. The media has barely focused on
2:29
the suspect. This is understandable.
2:32
Of course, given how he committed the most heartbreaking
2:34
and senseless of crimes that day.
2:37
But it is interesting to note that the crimes which unfolded
2:40
that day began first within his own family, the definition of
2:44
familicide and therefore the statistics are often met with
2:48
obscurity and confusion and are often embedded within the
2:51
hierarchy of other crimes. This makes the real number of
2:55
familicide Acts very difficult to measure.
2:59
In a study on familicide, conducted between 2000 and 2009.
3:03
There were 629 incidents with 207 that involved, the murder of
3:09
the spouse or intimate partner and at least one of the
3:12
children, The high majority of the recorded acts of familicide
3:17
are committed by the father, or a primary male figure of the
3:20
family due to this fact studies on women who have committed
3:24
familicide are very uncommon and thus, the literature is minimal.
3:28
However, it is estimated that women comprises high as five
3:32
percent of the perpetrators of familial homicide.
3:36
Interestingly enough, women are over represented in the murder
3:39
of family members. This means that female homicide
3:42
offenders victims are predominantly their spouse.
3:45
Or an intimate partner or exclusively their children,
3:49
having their victims be both their partner and their kids is
3:51
extremely rare and almost unheard of the case of Isabel
3:55
Martinez is an exception to this rule.
3:59
Loganville Georgia is a quiet, little town, with run fifteen
4:02
thousand citizens, centrally located between the larger
4:05
cities of Athens and the capital Atlanta.
4:08
The town's official motto is quote unquote, where people
4:11
matter, which signifies the importance of places on
4:14
Traditional Values and principles in particular, God
4:17
schools and family on July 6, 2016.
4:22
This Hometown Community would forever be shattered by a family
4:25
Massacre. As Dawn began to Peak its way
4:30
into the sticky warm summer night summer between 2 a.m. and
4:34
4 a.m. a wife and mother of five young children would brutally
4:38
attack one by one, her entire family.
4:41
As they slept yielding, a serrated kitchen knife.
4:44
She ambushed and viciously stamp all five.
4:47
Her young children and bed. When her husband awoke to
4:50
witness this nightmare, he pleaded with her and begged her
4:53
to stop her husband. Martin Ramirez attempted to
4:56
escape and get help. The Attacked him stabbing, the
5:00
father of her children and to Eternal silent.
5:04
The mother called 911 afterwards and frantically reported the her
5:08
entire family had been fatally stabbed, when investigators
5:12
arrived, she was found cutting away at her own risk.
5:15
She initially told the DFCS investigators, which is the
5:18
Division of Family and Children Services, that someone else had
5:22
come into their home and slaughtered her family.
5:25
Isabel Martinez War, but it was a family friend who came around
5:29
regularly, although she would not identify them by name.
5:33
Little, did she know that her second oldest daughter, Diana
5:37
had survived Dania Ramirez account of the night's events
5:42
goes as follows. The little girl who was only 9
5:45
years old at the time of the attack awoke.
5:47
In the middle of the night to see her mom.
5:49
Grabbed a knife from the kitchen and calmly walked towards her.
5:52
And the bedroom, her mother, the Womanhood fed and clothed, her
5:57
and talk to her, and her siblings into bed at night now,
6:00
held her close with a knife pressed to her.
6:02
She whispered to Diana, forgive me, I love you.
6:06
You are going to the sky to see Jesus and then The knife deep
6:10
into her daughter's flesh, the terrified little girl cried, and
6:14
told her mother that she didn't want to go see, Jesus is about
6:19
drag Diana and her own bedroom so that she could watch her
6:22
husband, wake up and show him what she had done her father,
6:27
Martin Romero, flew to the living room in an attempt to
6:30
escape to get help, but as he reached the door, Isabel stabbed
6:34
him repeatedly until he died on the floor.
6:38
Of their mobile home. When her baby brother,
6:42
two-year-old actual awoke Isabel stabbed him and then held his
6:46
tiny nostrils, together, tight, so he could not breathe.
6:51
She then watched as her toddler gagged and choked on his own
6:55
blood Danna continue to watch in horror as her mom, stabbed her
6:59
two other brothers Dakota and Dylan, and then her sister
7:03
Isabella. She recalled how her mom stabbed
7:06
each of her siblings, and then suffocated them until they
7:09
stopped breathing. She then carried them one by one
7:13
and to her parents bedroom and lay them all together across the
7:16
bed. Isabel Martinez placed, a Bible
7:19
upon each, one of their chest, This pending tragedy was rampant
7:26
with warning signs and messages of Doom days.
7:30
If not even weeks before from the words of Isabel Martinez
7:33
herself, she had warned several people in her life which she
7:37
intended to do to her family. Her father had died a few weeks
7:41
prior, and the sequence of events after that one unfold,
7:45
like a trail of breadcrumbs to her act of familicide.
7:50
Isabel Martinez was a deeply religious Christian woman.
7:54
She was consumed with the notion that her father.
7:56
So was in Jeopardy since he had been a practitioner of
7:59
Witchcraft and their native land of Mexico Witnesses, claimed
8:03
that they watch her like, Handles in church and burn her
8:06
hands with the Flames as she obsessively.
8:09
Prayed for salvation. For her father, soul for Isabel.
8:14
She believed that such a sacrifice in the form of her own
8:17
pain would help her father, find his way out of the Pit fires of
8:21
hell and into heaven, with God. Now, pursuing the events of
8:27
filicide is about had conveyed to an employee of the Division
8:30
of Family and Children Services that she had felt a devil like
8:34
force attempting to learn our children away while they played
8:37
in the ocean on a recent trip to Savannah Georgia.
8:41
It is beyond my understanding, how such a delusional and creepy
8:45
expression made by mother about her own.
8:47
Kids was simply ignored that it was ignored by an employee of an
8:52
organization, whose primary purpose. - and thus
8:56
responsibility is to protect support and preserve families
9:00
warrants. In my opinion, that this
9:03
individual be held partially responsible for their deaths.
9:08
To me this person's actions or rather their lack of
9:11
intervention Falls within the parameters of mandatory
9:15
reporting, which they should have been held accountable for
9:19
mandatory reporting varies from state to state.
9:22
But it is a statute that essentially holds all adults
9:24
responsible who are in a position where their profession
9:27
is frequently engaged with children under this law, such
9:31
persons are required and can be held liable if they fail to
9:35
report, any known or suspected maltreatment or abuse.
9:38
Child. The most obvious examples of
9:43
mandatory reporters would be teachers, Physicians members of
9:47
law enforcement therapists counselors, child care
9:51
providers, and of course, social workers some states.
9:55
Apply the statute to all adults, no matter what their profession
9:58
is. Georgia statute includes those
10:01
professions April mentioned. In addition to those who process
10:04
or produce visual or printed materials such as someone, who
10:08
processes private film needless to say, at the very least, this
10:13
person who neglected to report these strange and disturbing
10:16
comments a mother made regarding the lives of her children should
10:20
have led to their dismissal in this position.
10:23
Their decision to not report this concern or even bring up
10:27
the matter to someone else is justifiably infuriating in 2015,
10:34
strangely enough, the family had been investigated regarding
10:37
allegations that Isabel's husband Martin Romero, had
10:41
harshly discipline their kids. It was alleged that he struck
10:45
them with a belt and a phone charger cord.
10:47
When they would refuse to stay asleep at night, it was decided
10:50
at the time that the kids were in a healthy happy.
10:53
Loving environment without any real risk posed to them, how
10:57
ironic that it was the dad who is considered a legitimate
11:01
threat to the family. It was not only the Division of
11:06
Family and Children Services, who ignored the dire warnings,
11:09
which is about clearly had given them after her.
11:12
Father had died. Isobel told different members of
11:14
her family in particular, one of her husband's cousins Griselda,
11:18
how she was willing to do, whatever it took to save a soul
11:22
and rescue her father from Hell. Griselda after the tragedy had
11:26
already happened. Told him vestigators.
11:29
How Isabel had told her that she had made a promise to hand over
11:32
her children to an evil? Force.
11:36
Her husband's nice. Johanna also reported after the
11:39
fact investigators that Isabel had said that she was even
11:42
willing to make a deal with God to take her own kids.
11:46
If she could have her father back, another nice Edith,
11:50
revealed her. Isabelle had shared only four
11:52
days before the murders that she would quote unquote, put to
11:55
sleep her family. How and why?
12:00
All of these cries for help these obvious messages, that
12:03
these innocent young children were in grave Danger, Their
12:06
mother or brushed aside can only be answered by those who
12:11
experienced it themselves. I personally cannot imagine
12:17
someone telling me these things, especially apparent and taking
12:20
any chance of their coming to fruition by failing to report my
12:24
concerns to the authorities. Orlando, who was her husband
12:28
Martin Ramirez brother? Also give insight into Isabel's
12:31
mental state proceeding, the events.
12:33
Apparently, he was worried about his wife and had recently taken
12:37
her, to a doctor to prescribe her antidepressants.
12:40
I could not find any information or if it was known how long
12:43
before the familicide, this attempt at medical assistants
12:46
occurred and if on how often she was taking the antidepressants,
12:50
but at least her husband cared enough to try to help her It was
12:56
also confessed. But Isabelle, Martinez herself,
12:58
how she had visited a priest, two weeks, prior to killing her
13:01
family. She had shared with the priest
13:04
that she believed them bad people were after her, but the
13:07
priest told her that, it was all in her head.
13:10
Even if hypothetically, it was only in her head that does not
13:14
negate what Isabel Martinez was feeling and experiencing much
13:19
listed at, prevent the violence that culminated from her mental
13:22
state. Isabel communicate to the
13:25
investigators that she had sought salvation for her husband
13:29
and children and that she believes, she did what was right
13:32
in order to achieve this. However, I cannot help but
13:37
Ponder upon how this statement contradicts her conveyance to
13:40
several people in her life as they reported to the officials.
13:44
After the crime had been executed, Isabel was willing to
13:47
sacrifice her children and her family for her father's
13:51
salvation. Why were these kinds of
13:54
conflicting if not outright misleading and suspicious
13:59
statements of the possibly true motive behind Isabel Martinez is
14:04
actions, never used by the prosecution.
14:08
Why did the state attorney? Not use this information to poke
14:12
holes into and squash her use of the insanity defense in court
14:17
that they so easily accepted the insanity defense is really
14:21
beyond my comprehension given the indisputable evidence that
14:26
was provided by her surviving. Child Diana to the investigators
14:30
Isabel Martinez did finally admit the truth about murdering
14:33
her family for the murders of her husband.
14:36
Martin Romero, and their four children, which included,
14:39
Isabella 10 Dakota 7, Dylan for an axle, who was barely two
14:45
years old. She was charged with five counts
14:48
of murder, and five counts of malice murder.
14:52
Now, let's murder according to Georgia law equates to the
14:56
totality of the circumstances, the totality of the
15:00
circumstances with, in criminal law means that the sum of all
15:03
the elements of the criminal act involved had demonstrated, the
15:06
killings were evident of an abandoned and malignant heart.
15:11
I will break these components of the criminal law and two more
15:14
digestible parts for you. First mens rea which is Latin
15:20
for guilty. Mind is one of the two most
15:23
important elements which constitutes a criminal act in
15:27
the criminal law. Mens rea describes the offender
15:29
state of mind and indicates the degree to which they had
15:32
knowledge of their actions and their intent to fulfill the act.
15:37
Now, under the model Penal Code, which is the proposed criminal
15:40
code that states can choose to apply to their own laws.
15:43
There are four levels of mens rea The first being purpose or
15:48
with intent, the second degree is with knowledge of the crime.
15:52
The third level is recklessness and the fourth is when a crime
15:55
is caused by negligence, Isabel Martinez is mens rea was shown
16:01
that. She had acted with purpose,
16:02
demonstrated by the premeditation of the act, the
16:05
ACT astraeus which in Latin is the guilty.
16:08
Act is defined by the actual crime and the actions that
16:11
involved. In this case, her act Estrellas
16:15
involved, the murder of her husband and four children
16:18
aggravating factors. Describe the circumstances in,
16:20
which the crime was carried out, which can increase the level of
16:23
culpability and escalate the severity of the punishment, a
16:27
convicted defendant. Can face for example,
16:30
aggravating factors in a crime may include the use of a weapon
16:33
and carrying out a robbery or sexual assault a hate crime or a
16:37
crime carried out with excessive use of violence.
16:42
And Isabel Martinez. This case the aggravating
16:45
factors were the sheer brutality and heartlessness.
16:48
She exhibited when she executes with crime combined, these
16:52
elements of the crime to find malice murder.
16:54
She was also charged with six counts, of aggravated, assault
16:58
and a died for the attempted murder of her nine-year-old,
17:00
daughter Diana. Isabel entered guilty based on
17:04
Insanity, pleas to all five counts of murder for her husband
17:07
and their slain children guilty to one count of aggravated
17:11
assault and One count of Cruelty to Children for stabbing Diana.
17:17
There were several extreme signs of Isabel Martinez has mental
17:21
state and signs of psychosis before the massacre as
17:24
previously, discussed, as well as after the killing which she
17:28
is now known for notoriously displaying at her courtroom
17:31
hearing inside the court in front of the judge and the
17:35
Press. She smiled jubilantly placed her
17:38
hands in a mockery of prayer waved.
17:41
And gave a big thumbs up to the media, she performed in front of
17:44
the camera and informed, the judge that she Do not need
17:48
defense counsel, the district attorney decided that based on
17:51
the clearly poor state of her mental health, that the state
17:54
would not pursue the death penalty.
17:59
I don't doubt that she was mentally ill but the
18:02
premeditation calculated planning and the execution of
18:06
the crime. Raises some serious questions
18:09
for me Isabel carried out, the murders calmly call the police
18:13
to report that someone else had done it.
18:16
And then once her daughter told authorities, what actually
18:19
happened? She feigns insanity and puts on
18:22
a very publicized theatrical production of this mental
18:26
illness. Maybe I am just cynical but her
18:31
behavior before and after does not simply equate to a mentally,
18:35
insane woman to me. If I had been the district
18:38
attorney, I would have had several psychiatric evaluations
18:41
conducted an inquiry with Behavioral Analyst and criminal
18:45
profilers to help gauge alternative motives to the
18:48
commission of this crime. Two years after the slaying of
18:53
her, entire family, Isabel Martinez, who is now. 35 years
18:57
old, was sentenced by a judge to five life sentences.
19:01
For each of her family members lives.
19:04
In addition, she was given 21 years for the other charges of
19:07
assault and cruelty to a child. However, the actual punishment,
19:12
she faces is a 30-year minimum sentence and a mental health
19:16
facility with the possibility of parole.
19:22
Since she is an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, if Isabel
19:25
Martinez has ever released on parole, ice will Deport her back
19:29
to her native country. Still the sentencing is a bit
19:33
convoluted and does not give proper Justice to her five
19:37
victims when she has the potential to be out of the
19:40
mental health facility by her 60s, For some of you, it may not
19:46
be all that surprising to hear given the level of violence or
19:49
country engages in. But the United States has a
19:53
significantly higher percentage of children who are murdered
19:56
that other nations have a comparable level in regards to
19:59
culture and economy what can be shocking or at least is horrible
20:04
to hear. Is that children are much more
20:06
likely to be the victims of homicide by parent than any
20:10
other perpetrator and their life.
20:14
For some perspective, a 2012 study by Hatter's Freeman
20:18
revealed that for infants the rate of homicide is eight out of
20:22
100,000 in the US where in Canada it is 2.9 infants who are
20:27
killed out of every 100,000 on average.
20:31
There are around 500 arrests for filicide which is the
20:35
intentional killing of a child by a parent every year and
20:39
United States as a child ages their chances of being murdered
20:43
by their Parental figure to creases greatly, however, the
20:48
manner in which they die, is much more severe.
20:51
If they are killed, is older children.
20:55
Interestingly and horrifying to learn, is that 90% of offender
21:00
who kill their children are the biological parents of their
21:04
victims once again as in. So many other related crimes of
21:09
abuse and violence, those closest to us and particular,
21:14
our biological relatives are the biggest threat to our
21:18
well-being. In a 2007 World, Psychiatry
21:23
study on maternal filicide, it was identified that the most
21:26
common motivating factor when a mother kills the child is that
21:30
she has under the unwavering belief that it is best for the
21:34
child to die. What is so interesting and
21:38
hypocritical about the criminal justice system?
21:41
Which unfortunately tends to reflect society's warped
21:44
perspective of all mothers, and most women who kill is that they
21:48
are treated with great disparity.
21:50
T, in comparison to men who commit the exact same crimes.
21:55
Women, who kill are by far dealt with more leniency in the
21:59
courts, and given far less severe sentences, the men who
22:03
commit homicide Specifically, when it comes to parents who
22:08
killed their children, women faced an average prison term of
22:11
17 years where men are regularly faced with life imprisonment and
22:16
some were even given the death penalty.
22:19
Studies have also shown that women who kill their children
22:23
are handled and perceived by the courts and often the media as an
22:27
individual who's mentally ill, deranged or crazy, this could be
22:33
because women who kill, especially mothers, who kill
22:36
their children. Don't tend to fit within the
22:39
tightly. Constrained gender boxes and
22:41
roles women are expected to fit into in our society.
22:46
This disparity is rooted in the patriarchal misconception that
22:50
all women are nurturing and are born to be caring and loving
22:54
mothers. According to Phillip Resnick a
22:57
professor of Psychiatry who spent more than four decades
23:00
studying and analyzing parents who murder their children, there
23:03
is no greater success when utilizing the insanity defense,
23:07
like when it is used by a woman who kills her kids The insanity
23:14
defense is a type of plea can be utilized by a Defender and all
23:17
but four states. Those been identified as Idaho,
23:21
Kansas Utah, and Montana, there are many people in society,
23:26
likely fueled by the salacious, and often inaccurate media that
23:31
there are tons of criminals who escaped, true and just
23:34
punishment by pleading, Not Guilty, by reason of insanity.
23:38
However, this is a gross. Misperception, in fact, Oracle
23:43
evidence which is simply data or statistics gathered by research
23:47
conducted shows that the insanity defense is only used in
23:51
about 1% of all felony criminal cases.
23:55
With in those cases, it tends to be successful in about 20%.
24:00
In other words, out of 1,000 defendants being prosecuted for
24:03
what is most likely an extremely violent offense, only two or
24:08
three are found not guilty by reason of insanity.
24:13
Studies also demonstrate that it is a very risky move for the
24:17
defendant make. This is because if their defense
24:20
strategy does not work and they are found guilty, that person
24:24
will likely spend as much as 22 percent longer in prison than a
24:29
defendant who did not use this play for defendants who do
24:34
succeed, apply an insanity defense in a criminal court.
24:37
Only 1% are ever released four percent of released under very
24:42
specific conditions. And 90% spend significantly more
24:46
time incarcerated into mental institution than they would have
24:50
spent for the same crime committed had.
24:52
They been within the prison system.
24:55
When the insanity defense is utilized for violent crimes,
24:58
other than murder, the period of confinement.
25:01
Within a mental hospital, can be twice as long versus a convicted
25:05
individuals. Time in prison for nonviolent
25:08
crimes. A defendant can spend as much as
25:11
ten times longer inside a mental health facility.
25:16
The insanity defense is an affirmative defense and has
25:20
specific criteria, which the defendant must be proven to have
25:24
met since most of venant's plead not guilty.
25:27
By reason of insanity. Their trial is bifurcated, which
25:30
means it is conducted in two stages.
25:33
The first stage is when the jury or trial judge determines,
25:37
whether the defendant is guilty or innocent the second stage
25:41
involves determining, whether the defendant was legally
25:43
insane, when the criminal act was committed.
25:46
Pitted the burden of proof is therefore placed upon the
25:49
defendant to provide evidence, that demonstrates that they were
25:53
so mentally ill or so defective that they were incapable of
25:57
having the mental capacity to commit the crime.
26:01
This means that their mental or psychological condition, or
26:04
disease, ultimately tainted. Their mind to such an extent
26:08
that they were unable to decipher or understand what is
26:11
deemed as moral and that their actions were wrong.
26:15
In contrast, a defendant who pleads guilty by reason of
26:18
insanity and Nitsa, they committed the crime but that
26:21
they lacked the mental capacity to understand right from wrong.
26:28
The two most effective Insanity defenses are for women, who have
26:32
committed altruistic Philistines, which are defined
26:35
as the murderer having been committed in the best interest
26:37
of the children. The second type are those
26:40
categorized as acutely psychotic, which is defined by
26:43
mothers who have hallucinations and messages, which they hear
26:47
whether their origin is from a dark or light Force to kill
26:50
their children. These types of filicide,
26:53
perpetrators are described as women who don't attempt to
26:56
conceal their actions but rather Seek immediate help and confess
26:59
to what they have done. However, in the case of Isabel
27:03
Martinez, she only admitted the truth once the horrific facts of
27:07
what she'd done, were laid out to investigators her brave.
27:11
Little daughter Diana who narrowly escaped her mother's
27:14
attempt on her life. Is maybe the only reason Isabel
27:18
confessed this place is into question serious, doubts about
27:22
her intentions of concealment versus a sincere confession.
27:28
The insanity defense is even more successful when the mother
27:31
has planned a filicide suicide and has made an attempt to end
27:35
her own life. It was also reported that 69
27:39
percent of these women were suffering from auditory
27:41
hallucinations such as a voice. They heard instructing them to
27:45
kill their children and 74% were found to be delusional.
27:50
The most successful of such psychotic mental States
27:53
involved, women, whose beliefs were based on the death of the
27:56
child or children. Dream being the answer, the
27:59
sacrifice if you will for the soul of the child or even to
28:03
save the entire world. Severe depression has also been
28:08
found to be a very strong factor in the state of delusion that
28:12
has been determined to be necessary for a successful
28:15
Insanity, defense depression can warp, an individual's
28:18
perspective, and thought processes making the offender
28:21
believe that it is the best interest of the child for them
28:24
to be in heaven. Instead, This is evidence
28:27
through the infamous child. Killing mother's, Andre Yates
28:30
and Deanna Laney. There are also many other women
28:33
who have been sent away to a mental health facility instead.
28:36
Prison for the horrendous acts of violence.
28:39
They committed against their children.
28:42
Isabel Martinez was openly willing to sacrifice her entire
28:46
family to save the soul of her recently deceased father, whom
28:50
she believed was suffering and huh.
28:53
It was not so much to save her children Souls, that.
28:56
She murdered them, but rather to save that of her father's To me
29:02
this does not equate to the same belief system that other
29:05
delusional and extremely religious mothers have held who
29:09
have committed filicide. There is no question that Isabel
29:12
Martinez was depressed and suffering from some kind of
29:16
delusions something in her mind led her to believe that she
29:20
could bring Salvation to her father through the deaths of her
29:23
own children. Only Isabelle Martinez herself,
29:26
can share with those delusions were at the time and how deeply
29:30
those impacted her mental state only time.
29:34
And her psychiatrist will be able to determine if her mental
29:37
condition. Has improved to the extent that
29:39
she is deemed no longer a threat to herself.
29:42
And others in society, I am not a therapist or psychiatrist but
29:47
I cannot fathom how it is possible to release anyone out
29:50
of a mental health. Facility who planned and carried
29:54
out the massacre. Sucker of her own children.
29:58
How can 30 years potentially be enough to justify that such a
30:02
person be allowed back into society and give them a chance
30:06
at Living the last of their years and freedom.
30:09
There is something Gravely wrong about how our criminal justice
30:12
system can incarcerate an offender for a non-violent crime
30:16
such as drug trafficking for more time than this woman will
30:20
possibly serve. There are already known cases of
30:23
maternal, filicide where the perpetrator has been released
30:27
from a mental health facility. Aditi and is now free to live
30:30
their life. I will not begin to travel down
30:33
this road of the Endless miscarriages of Injustice.
30:37
Our criminal justice system has dished out over the centuries at
30:41
least not this episode. After the nightmare, werter life
30:46
had suddenly become, there was hope and positivity and the
30:50
surviving daughter. Diana's life, she was now given
30:53
a new home by her aunt and uncle who took ran after the tragedy
30:57
and a post by the sheriff's department, only a few weeks,
31:00
after her mother murdered her siblings and her father, the
31:04
officers involved in the case came by to visit the little
31:07
girl. They surprised her with a bounty
31:10
of gifts. There were donated by people in
31:12
her community. The officers were very surprised
31:16
to see how fine Diana seem to be as you can see from the images
31:21
in the link, Diana radiates health and happiness, she
31:25
appeared to be adjusting amazingly well to her new family
31:29
in life. There are something almost
31:32
jarring and quite unexpected about this story ending with a
31:35
sign of Hope. But Diana absolutely deserves to
31:38
have the best life possible. Only time will tell how much
31:43
trauma this poor child is deeply suffered.
31:45
And on levels, she may not even be conscious of until she fully
31:49
matures. Hopefully her aunt and uncle
31:52
will encourage her to talk about what happened, have regular
31:55
therapy sessions, and perceive her journey of long-term
31:59
healing. Seriously, I am curious, what
32:03
all of you think about this case?
32:04
Do you believe that Isabel Martinez was so mentally ill
32:08
that she could not understand right from wrong.
32:10
Or if she did that, she was mentally incapable of acting out
32:14
in a moral way. Do you think that a minimum of
32:17
30 years inside a mental health facility with the chance of
32:21
release gives Justice to her victims?
