All four teenagers inside the van that ran over the beloved Polk City librarian in November will be charged as adults in her death, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said Tuesday.
Oh, it most certainly will. Even when se gets out of prison at age 40, she will never get a job. She has permanently ruined her life. Kudos on the investigators that handled this case.
Criminals need to be charged as CRIMINALS regardless of their age. Psychos need to be locked away in cages so they don't harm innocent victims. Whether a victim is murdered by a 10 year old thug or a 40 year old thug does not make the victim any less dead.
I had to press charges against a girl at school that threatened my daughters life. They kicked her out of school for a year. All over a false charge that the girl thought my daughter had ratted her out over smoking in the bathroom. Kids have seriously lost their empathy.
Lying about other kids is nothing new. Happened in the 60s happens now. Now it's much more dangerous because kids are quicker to deadly violence. It may seem a prank and drama at the time, but it's become a serious threat.
Moms and dads need to balls up cut the bull and stay together. Had the primary protector been in the picture Elijah would’ve been sitting in the living room waiting for HIS dad to come get the licks in.
@@-Saigo- Seems to me he was trying to suggest that there was this sudden left turn everything took as kids "who haven't been in trouble before" found themselves in the worst kind of trouble. Something tells me this wasn't the massive leap from community pillars to violent maniacs that his remarks might lead one to believe.
What makes me sadder is she looks like the type of librarian to go up to a quiet kid and ask "How was your day?" she actually looks she would care. Shame that the best souls go through the most.
@@terricavoli7997 He didn't take it seriously. He like anyone else would think it highschool drama. Fighting at school is one thing but going to their house over this bull shit.
People need to have these talks with their children. Children need to have these talks with eachother. If you hit someone, knock someone down, start a physical altercation, things can get out of hand real fast and lives can be lost in many ways. I know someone who got sucker punched at a bar one night, fell backward and hit his head on a parking curb and that caused brain swelling and he passed away a few days later at the hospital. 😩
@@terricavoli7997 Terri you gotta remember they’re 16 and also they’re brains don’t analyze and cognitive wise they (as teens) don’t think ahead! Regardless this was a senseless crime regardless
Imagine when they are 50 and still in prison and/or have to live with the stigma and realization of the horrendous, senseless crime that they committed *does matter*
@@PracticalBibleStudies Unfortunately and with great sadness you are probably correct. Their lives will still be ruined. No one will *ever* let them live this down. They would have to move to Tahiti.
@@PracticalBibleStudies Yes in this life, possibly the next. Please remember that our lord forgives those who seek it. Jesus gave his life for that reason. Just saying.
Yes I know !!!!! 🥺 She's one of a kind !!!!! 😇😇😇😇😇😇 You can not find !!!! an amazing person !!!! like her in the 🌎 today !!!! I don't know what this world is turning into ????? 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤡 RIP your a beautiful soul 🥺😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇. My condolences. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 to the family and friends
@@dancehallvibesdara1624 Possibly therapy with that. Still 10 years is still a long ass time in state or even federal prison. And the fact that they are tried as adults means they aren’t getting no special prison treatment lmao.
He contradicted himself in the beggining saying the girl told her ex boyfr iend she was going to bring her new boyfriend over to beat him up. So its possible they could get them with home invasion , premeditated. But if they get the messages that was exchanged then it wont hold
@@woodulike2know391 Might wanna go back to arm-chair law school. You're missing some important details bud and you shouldn't dispense your 'knowledge' on youtube before fact checking your own suggestions.
@@woodulike2know391 just because someone says something online doesnt mean they will do it, and it's not like she said "we will be there at this time on this day" so, no, Hunter did NOT know they were coming.
@@lightwarrior432 Sometimes but not always. Sometimes you get children that are 8-10 years ago that are jealous of a new born sibling and kill them intentionally, not fully understanding the consequences. It's why people under 18 shouldn't be charged as adults.
1 had to watch this. Hell, maybe both. But one had to recover from a beating with the awareness that his mom was killed directly afterward. That's going to stick with both of them.
I feel so bad for Hunter and his family. Even though none of this is Hunters fault,he is gonna go through the rest of his life blaming himself for this and go through the what if’s that most people do after a traumatic event. I just prey that he stays strong and his family is there to support and help him through all of this and prey his family gets the justice they deserve so these people never get the opportunity to hurt anyone else ever again.
hunters weak probably a Fortnite player all that bullshit led to his mother doorstep coward rip for the loss, but u cannot tell be someone named hunter didn't say at one point pull up and find out and guess now he found out lol white on white violence is a shame and poor use of their privilege.
@@continentalnobleman1693 what the heck are you talking about? If you're going to refute facts provided by the sheriff reporting this incident, for gods sake provide proof, otherwise kick rocks, troll.
I am literally 16, but I can’t imagine getting so angry for dating someone and so angry enough that I would harm their mother. It’s just so sickening, because this high school drama is not worth it.
Being 26 and starting to think about kids, 1) I feel horrible for the lives you guys had through your school experience. My entire time in school, I never had drama to the magnitude you guys face. And it scares the shit out of me 2) I’m most likely gonna home school with all the crazy shit going on
Watch Dr. Jordan B Peterson. Everyone is capable of such travesties and horrible acts. It takes understanding that we are all capable of doing it so we can avoid it. If that makes sense.
@@rudolphthompson400 I have 2 kids. 3.5 and 1.5 right now. Definelty looking like I'm going to homeschool them. Luckily I have a high enough paying job to support them and my wife without my wife HAVING to work. 2 incomes would be great. But I dont need some dumb ass raising my kids at daycare. They miss out on some social skills, because we live out in the boonies as it is, but they do well around adults, and when we are with kids, they are the ones usually being good. In other words, it's hard brotha. But do able. Good luck.
This is the second video I see of the sheriff doing an amazing job of serving his community. Truly inspiring and if only we had a sheriff this dedicated in every city.
Can't imagine what Hunter has been going through. Get jumped by your crazy ex and her new squeeze with her friends, and then they murder your mom in cold blood for trying to protect you... I really hope he gets the support and therapy he desperately needs.
Listen to his story about the guy who killed 3 teens...for 'no' reason... He had over 200 felons...Lake Wales/Frostproof... I can't believe all of this ...having 'lived' in Auburndale in the 70's 80's NO crime...!! Let alone MURDER..........
Putting father/preacher on FULL blast, too. "...She taught _her_ child right from wrong..." No sympathy for the killer's father (as well as the other hell spawn's parents) which I feel is fully warranted. I mean, there's "a mistake" and "full on acting like a brainless animal". No offense to animals.
Good for evey last one of them ALL being charged as Adults. They clearly made adult decisions and choices and could have chosen differently. I am so glad they are all going down for this heinous CRIME. That poor woman. Sending her family lovingly, kind, positive healing energy.
That was the most detailed press conference I've ever seen. The reporters hardly had any questions because it was so informative, The Sheriff did an amazing job explaining the entire situation. Thank you for your service, Sir!!
@@mountainmangames3613 I mean if she worked in a library and he is the county sheriff it's not a far stretch to assume a good possibility of them having met at some point in the past. Police go lots of places, a public library within his jurisdiction I would think he's been at least once.
I wouldn’t be able to contain the anger and resentment towards the bastard. Vengeance is the only way Id get over this. If the Judge doesn’t give sentence him to death or in the very least life, then I will quite literally take it into my own hands. Incarcerate me. Sentence me. I don’t give a flying fuck
He just passed being at the Polk County Sheriff office for 50 yrs. He started as a dispatcher at age 17 and worked his way through the ranks. My wife took care of the guy wife who was Grady mentor through his years at the Sheriff office. He sadly passed away a few months before Grady was sworn in as the head sheriff for the first time.
Militarization of police and taking away the "beat cop" where the cop is in one neighborhood and knows everyone, who is good and bad etc, and ignorance of the law are what have turned pur police into open air prison guards that care not for the citizens or their rights. A compassionate policeman is nearly nonexistent now, rare and precious.
@@GeorgiaPeachHolly What part of working his way up did you not understand.. Also there was a time that there really was no police academy? It was a form of just classes. They didn't call it the police academy back then.. So I take it one step further for ya! He also had to do college 2 degrees to include a masters degree to get this position. 1. A master's in Business 2. A master's Criminal Justice. I never said anything about him NOT doing those things. I just made the comment he started at age 17 and worked his way up. Also to work your way up back then was not that hard because the agency was no where near as large as it is now. So opportunities to move up, sponsors to help some move up was much easier back then. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know he had to go through various classes and schooling to get where he is today.
I will always vote to raise my taxes for more prisons, tube tying, testicular neutering and child abuse prosecutions for breeding while in poverty. Any questions?
A word to Young men and men in general. If your “girlfriend” bates you into physical fights with other people, get rid of her. She is NOT the type of girl to be with. Don’t white knight yourself into prison.
I'm terribly sorry your loss. People need to make sure that boy stays with family members and he needs to be given space, but at the same time he needs to be watched Closely. I wasn't there but if I was that boy, I definitely would have ran outside to try and help my mother, and means he saw and heard things No child should see or hear. It was his Mom, This day will always stay with him forever. I pray he makes the right choices in life when he grows up. I'm sorry this happened to your family.
Thank You Sheriff Grady Judd! We need a sheriff just like you in Ohio State! May Suzette RIP and her son get justice for this senseless murder and assault.
lol. Yeah right. Another numptie who believes anything from a lying cops mouth. I take it you don't have kids. Or god help them if you do. Cop finds happiness in putting a child in jail for years. Talk about close the gate after the horse has bolted.
@@Pigeon946 Oh look, another cop hater. Fact is, the driver is an adult(18yo). He drove there to assault a minor and ended up running over the mom because she recorded the license plate. The murderer wouldn't have been able to do that if his girlfriend hadn't given him the directions. All 4 people traveled there to commit a crime. 1 killed someone, and 3 are accessories because they knew why they were going there to begin with. How is the police officer lying? You just assume that because the "ACAB" bullshit has brainwashed you. "i TaKe It YoU dOnT hAvE kIdS"... I take it you've never lost a loved one to an adult and teenagers. If you have children, they must have a poor upbringing, and don't know right from wrong. Hopefully all 4 "kids" rot in prison :)
@@Pigeon946 They're hardly children the guy was a legal adult and the girls weren't much younger. You wanna take someone's life than understand there's gonna be consequences. And people like you should be thankful of police officers, they're the ones standing between the Librarians family from getting their own justice on these scumbags. Years in jail is more than they deserve.
Lost my mother almost a year ago when I was 16. For different causes of course, but I cannot fathom what that boy went through when he was being beaten and then realizing what happened to his mother.... hope they rot in jail forever for doing something so vile
@@ztrax7133 the guy that ran her over should be tried as an adult for murder, the passengers who had no control over the car should be tried for assault.
@PIKA CHOKE they found the cure for cancer but killed the guy who discovered it because they loved the amount of money people were donating. Thays why I don't support cancer charities anymore. I still give to help homelessness, illnesses, women who suffer from domestic abuse, and kids in foster care. I've been in foster care since I was six (24 now) and I want to support kids in care like me.
Update for anyone wondering, the driver and adult involved Elijah Stansell, was found guilty of first degree murder and given a mandatory life sentence. The juveniles appear to not have had their cases resolved yet, I wasn't able to locate any information regarding their sentences. The most recent document I could find was a motion for continuance which was granted.
well, she stated for a beatdown, I agree with you though, but the court will likely not go that way, perhaps like the sheriff said, attempted murder. But yes, the ex IS the "firestarter" of all of this. She's what started it all.
Unfortunately a jury would not be able to convict her. That's the worst part of all this. She got far more than she wanted. She got him beat up, broke up the peace of his house, and led to the death of his mother. She herself did nothing more than conspire to commit assault. Accomplice to murder is the harshest thing they could hit her with and I'm not sure if it would stick
Yup I knew many kids that used to brag about this in high school. "They cant put me away bro, I can get away with murder, im 16" - She got what she wanted.
All of those young teens should face adult charges. They all knew better. How disgusting and pointless.This sheriff is very thorough and compassionate...hats off to him.
Not only did they screw up their own lives, but they screwed up Suzette's life. Hunter's life. The community as a whole. They definitely need an awakening to see how them trying to be tough ruined so many lives and that they can not take back a murder.
I love Grady Judd. I live nowhere near where he works but I click on any video with this man’s face. he speaks in such a personal way towards all the. victims in the cases he works.
@Barry Beaubien Dude he killed someone. A random person. If you let hik put of jail hes going to kill more random people who hold different and more logical opinions on losing the people they love and care about.
The ex girlfriend must get a heavy prison sentence because she started and caused it all to happen while she hid in the van like a coward. The same as the murderers. Just dont let them out.
Generally in the US women get sentenced to less time in prison for the same violence that men do. The driver will get the longest sentence and Kimberly will get a sentence, but I'm willing to bet it will be half as much as the driver, even though she was the instigator, the organizer and essentially set it all up. Its likely, those three kids if they never met Kimberly would not have done what they did. But will justice take that into account for sentencing Kimberly?
Oh my God, I have just read this 😭 My thoughts and prayers are with that beautiful lady and her family. I'm truly, truly sorry 😞. Love and peace from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤
I thought that too about the language he used. And he described the crime in detail. The public should be given these details. Years ago, I read the full details of the very well known UK murder of a child. It was especially high profile because the murderers were themselves children under the law. The full details were suppressed but his mother wanted them released and having read it I could see why. It was more horrific, more wicked than my mind could ever have imagined and knowing that information meant that i could never view his murderers with any shred of sympathy. It shaped how I felt about attempts to portray them as vulnerable children. I defy anyone who read those details to be in favour of the softly softly approach they received. . I would hope no one wants to see children routinely locked up for the rest of their lives but surely that should depend on the individual and the details of the crime. A psychopath who actually enjoys inflicting pain, torturing and killing isnt going to "grow out of it".
@Respectable Man there's a difference between prosecution and persecution. What the police is advocating for is prosecution; what you seem to want is persecution. Persecution breeds more crime and harm.
I hope this becomes a lesson to all kids. If you do a crime especially a murder and you're involved in it without stopping it. Let them all have a quick stop, short drop, and swing.
that is what scares me too who knows how much worse kids will get over the years with these trash influences they get, all blessings to all of you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just a word to anyone young, if you are hanging with people who look for trouble, get away from them. Life will present you with enough without looking for it. Always seek peace and wisdom
I love how he shows pictures of everyone he is talking about and says exactly what has happened and what is going to happen to them. Wish all departments in America had Grady Judds leading them!!!
It's almost like he has to describe the crime like he would to kindergarteners so the press would understand and not try to screw up the story like they usually do.
Wouldn't happen in the home that I grew up in. My mom, dad or brothers would've shot them and if they didn't die right of, I'd take the gun and would've finished them off. That's how you deal with people that enter your home to do violence to you or your family.
@@michiganmama562 Don't get me wrong because I'm in agreement with you, it's a terrible thing to have happened and it's made worst by the fact that they witnessed the murder.
@@guhv1386 lol no, it's called being a human, and humans do shitty things. Even rich folks' kids, pastors' kids, and just 100% real great parents' kids, get into shit because they are either influenced, bored, or just want to rebel.
Where were the police when the guy ran over the poor woman? Where were the police when these people, forcefully entered her home to beat up her son? This is why, you should have guns. This is why you should draw your gun at intruders. What if those guys had knives and had intent to murder the son? They would've been helpless. The police always comes after the fact... before the fact, you are on your own and therefor your best friend will always be a gun.
@@siegpasta No one called 911 yet at the time of the incident. Officers aren't telepathic, like you, they don't know what's happening until they are told. As for your gun thing, not everyone owns a fire arm, sad to say.
The older I get and hear cases like this, the more I understand why my mother used to say when I was a teenager - 'be very careful of who you run with and let influence you. Don't get sucked into foolishness or you will ruin your life.' This is horrific 😢
The thing is the ex girlfriend will get the lightest sentence since she just sat in the van but she was the cause of the whole situation. I hope the system recognizes her being the catalyst and give her a much longer sentence than being a bystander.
If only all four could be put in solitary confinement for the rest of their lives. We don't want the death penalty because it's a little bit cruel. But solitary confinement is humane punishment for a life deliberately taken.
Let me make sure I understand this: The girl was mad because they weren't dating anymore, so she got her new boyfriend to beat up her ex?!?! Maybe the new boyfriend should've been more concerned about why his girlfriend is still trying to be involved with her ex??
@@BalboaBaggins , I'm 100% gay, so thankfully, dealing with women on that level is not even a factor for me!😂 I blame the boyfriend just as much. It's like, at some point wasn't he curious as to why she was still so obsessed with this guy?? But no, he went through with, up to and including killing the ex's mother!
I don't think that was it. They were probably hurling insults back and forth with him calling her a slut and her calling him dickless. Back in my day when you broke up, you didn't communicate, it was over. Now with modern technology, people extend the pain of a break up for as long as possible.
Yes Grady Judd is almost famous for his style of press conferences regarding current and especially egregious crimes committed in his county. There are many more of these to be found online...unfortunately.
Damn that's crazy I was thinking the same shit! He is right on the money with every detail & you can also tell he cares alot man wow. So fuckn pointless & devistating. RIP So sorry.....smh
This officer is the kind of guy you hate when he holds you accountable, but at the same time you’re glad that good people like him exist. He’s the type to literally arrest his own grandmother for a misdemeanor xD
She (and the other two non-drivers) are getting attempted murder charges in the adult system. That is a very serious charge in Florida, and can carry similar sentences to murder itself. Conspiracy is also a first degree felony but is often sentenced much less than attempted murder. Regardless they are at least equivalent charges.
Yeah...Personally, this whole experience would traumatize me from ever dating again! All it takes is one crazy bad apple to mess up your whole life. I hope he overcomes this and comes out of the whole thing a stronger, more cautious, and wiser young man.
I agree...it's crazy...I can't imagine getting in a toxic relationship, then one of the effects is ur mom gets killed. It's so infuriating and heartbreaking
At that just like a woman, "No, you're going to stop this van, I'm not moving." A young child left behind without his mother. Send them to jail for a long time if not forever.
Grady Judd is an excellent Sheriff. He honestly cares about this community, keeping us safe and punishing the criminals no matter who they are. He is especially hard on pedophiles. Every time I turn around, he's busting more pervs. We love him. He didn't have anyone run against him when he was running for Sheriff again. No one would have beaten him, so they may as well not have even tried.
I get the same feeling. That's the kind of law enforcement I grew up with (born in '55). Our sheriff, police and even the state troopers were "community policing." All were well respected and it's a shame that as they retired too few of those who replaced them could ever fill their shoes.

Yeah, I don't live there but I've seen more than one report from him here on youtube and love them. I LOVE it when he speaks of someone defending their home from a burglar and killing them, basically says, don't do that in Polk because people have the right and will defend their homes. He's like, you do it, they'll kill you, as they should. lol Wish our sheriff were like that, or would finally retire.
Girl you are so beautiful I'm sorry I'm getting off the title but wow 😳 but you're exactly right I get the impression he is a man that's totally after the truth and justice now back to what I was saying about you ☺️
@@sheilapinoski2447 I agree if they where Article 3 courts and we had Advocates .... Not Article 1 courts with Attorneys who are british subjects and first oath is to the Crown Court...
He's so invested, in each case he remembers all the details, even little ones most cops wouldn't know. Sometimes he's going through 10 people. He's a grandpa we all want lol
