Mark Sievers Penalty Phase - Victim Impact Statement - Mary Ann Groves - Victim's Mother 

I’ve never seen somebody try to fake cry until now, not a single tear left his eyes. Pathetic! And why is he nodding like he agrees with what’s being said??? He caused this!

I believe Teresa’s mother’s testimony is one of the major reasons the jury sentenced him to death.

Heartbreaking! What a beautiful Mother and daughter. He can't muster a tear. He is pure evil!

Teresa married beneath her. I don’t mean social status, she was bringing whole healing to the masses. He would never be able to hold a candle to her accomplishments. Justice has been served.

I lost my Wife to cancer in 2015...I'd have taken that disease into my body so my Wife could live to do more good works for less fortunate people and pets...Sievers is a monster...

How can he even look in this poor mother’s direction ?

This woman’s pain is just heartbreaking.

Poor Mary Ann Groves. A very moving statement. A mother's love is all powerful. I hope you all find peace.

God Bless Mary Ann Groves. So very sorry for your loss

I cannot begin to imagine this pain as a mother myself.

Beautiful, Impactful statement from a MOTHER!!!!! I am in tears💟God Bless and Protect this family.

No remorse, truly narcissistic! He can only fake emotions

I know this poor woman will never heal after losing her daughter, but I’m sending all the love and comfort possible to her and her family

She sound like a saint really it’s sad that the world lost someone like her who truly loved and cared for all people

OMG, am I the only one that wants to slap that phony hurt, trying hard to show the jury that I'm crying face? Despicable man!!!

Save your tears for your ”jail house” pillow !!!

Mary Ann what a strong woman you are, sending lots of love from England. Your daughter will continue to live through her children x

He hated her goodness, he hated her light, it’s the reason why he had to put it out. That’s the look of pure hate, disgust and contempt he had on his face, as her mother reads her memoir. Evil hates goodness, because it illuminates their darkness. Don’t worry, karma doesn’t forget a name, nor address when the time comes for the scale to be balance.

He's made all kinds of painful faces during her mother's statement, and yet, not one tear fell down his face. It makes me sick. He may very well burn in hell when he meets his maker.

Teresa's Mom is right. After we lost a sister, out of "8" siblings, our family never took another family photo. The void can not be replaced & It's never the same again.

Teresa sounds like a wonderful lady. What a horrible loss to society. How sad.

Teresa was an amazing woman in so many ways, a well respected and liked doctor, a loving mother and much loved daughter, sister and friend. Attractive, charming, funny, witty and warm. An Alpha female, for sure. What on EARTH did she see in that loser she married??? Too many amazing women like Teresa settle for inadequate males. They may not murder you, but they will sure as hell disrespect you and rob you of your happiness. Ladies - please realise your worth and know that you deserve only the very best in a partner - nothing less is good enough. A great man, a loving and loyal man, kind and comfortable in his own skin, a man who listens to you, confident and generous enough to love, honour and respect you, every day of your lives together. And if such a man fails to materialise, then take courage and walk alone until the day you find him. To be single and searching is so much better than the dark certainty of settling for a mediocre life with Mr Wrong. Mark Sievers will be easily forgotten, like the insignificant dust he will become after his lethal injection. Teresa's beautiful memory will live forever in the hearts and minds of all who loved her. Half of her life was stolen from her by a psychopath who pretended to love her. It's too late for Teresa, she won't get to learn from her mistake - but you can. Let beautiful Teresa be a lesson to you never to settle for second best, in life's most important choice of all - a life partner.

Mark Sievers is the absolute face of evil. God bless this Mother and family🙏🏼

I'm so very sorry for the loss of you beautiful daughter God bless you're family I'm so very sorry ..

Outstanding speech about her daughter, my heart gots out to the mom

What a despicable human being. He did not shed one tear. POS

Can any body explain to me - WHY is HE CRYING? or pardon me PRETENDING to BE?

Teresa probably felt sorry for this psycho and thought she could save him. Big mistake.

Teresa sounds like a beautiful person, The world lost a good human being. Terrible!

This beautiful Mother. I'm so very sorry for her loss of her precious daughter.

Back to those dry tears of a crocodile! He thinks the jury is stupid. So do his defense attorneys.

Omg he is not shedding a single tear, eyes dry, glancing around to see if judge and jury are looking at him. Unbelievable! Poor children!

Mark Sievers and his crocodile tears. 🐊

What a huge loss. Rest In Peace till you’re reunited with your loved ones!

So sorry for your loss!!!!! Lots of love from South AFrica!!!!!! xxxxx

Beautiful, beautiful lady! Her life was cut short, because of this EVIL MAN!

Mark is crying for himself...his choices are evil...its very heartbreaking for her Mom and 2 daughters...Teresa sounds like a fantastic lady and Dr...god speed to her family💔

As i type this tears are running down my face. I CAN'T imagine the hurt pain and emptiness she must feel😢 if there was a way i could just reach through the phone an hug Teresa mom tight as i could i would and ill whisper in her ear that she is a VERY strong MOM and that i COMMEND HER for being so BRAVE and god will CONTINUE to shower her and her family with love an endless blessings💜💜💜💜

Theresa was amazing!

Omg, this is breaking my heart.

I know this feeling when my mom lost her son🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽my lovely brother🙏🏽🙏🏽

The weekend he stayed at her home while his murder plot is being carried out

God bless you, Mary Ann Groves. What a courageous woman.

How can anyone do or have this done to anybody? You cannot truly LOVE your children and do this to their Mother! May God wrap the family and comfort their broken heart like only he can.

Don't let this man take away from you the happy memories you have

Teresa had it soooo right..health begins with thw mind...I watched her youtube videos, and even though she is in heaven, it gave me food for thought about alternatives....I love her mother, the sweetest of the sweet...and love goes to her sublings and her precious girls...this case was heartbreaking. I am thankful true justice prevailed for them all...

This judge is such a wonderful human being. So genuine. Compassionate and pleasant to all. A wonderful judge! God bless him.

She sounds like an absolute angel of a woman 💖 Her poor mother was so brave reading her powerful words but my god, I wish she never had a need to do that. No parent should ever have to be in this situation no matter what age their child is. Rest in peace beautiful 💖🙏🌹

She was a big part in the verdict of Death and good for her

Yes my heart goes out to mrs maryann Groves for her tremendous lose and i will pray for her

When the first hammer hit her and she simply asked "Why"... I literally bawled my eyes out...

Not one tear rolled down his face, nor did he wipe his nose, they the mom of Teresa! Smh fake attempt to cry! I'd be balling uncontrollably!

I've not watched this case but I will. I just came across this video. I just want to slap the crap out of him. Acting!!😠

I can’t take his fake tears.

This man is a complete phycopath. He's sitting there acting, never seen anyone like him ever! He surely needs to spend the rest of his life in the penitentiary. He has no remorse or sympathy for what he has done. And to sit here watching him act as if he were apart of his legal team. Foney tears, foney facial expressions, foney assertiveness, and faking emotion while this mother read her impact statement made me sick to my stomach. He is where he belong to be, locked away from society, the children God blessed him with, and his own mother.

I even don't know this family and was crying so much after I saw the videos from Teresa ... so how big their tears must be ... lets pray the family gets peace one day ... they must be full of tears, grief and anger

He’s acting like he’s attending her funeral. He must be doing it for the jury. Why else would he?

When her mom got on the stand that sealed that sick bastard fate he wanted to have the respect that Teresa had he sits there with that fake crying I feel hate for that coward!.

I have watched many, many interviews and court footage of sociopaths that have killed their partners, the mothers of their children. What they have all had in common is, despite all the facial contortions they pull off, I have yet to see a single tear.

Mother's statement was heartbreaking. Tear jerking.

I sometimes wonder, why people like Teresa, who are beyond saintly, endure such a terrible fate. I have seen it so often, they give everything and fall in the hand of such monsters. Poor Mother. What a tragic loss.

An amazing and well spoken woman. I’d be proud to have her as my mom.

Heart breaking sorry for ur loss lots of prayers god give her the strenght to cope and family xx

My God, this was one remarkable woman that was well on her way to greater things. R.I.P

The part that keeps going over & over in my head, is Theresa’s last words. WHY ? Why? May she Rest In Peace, While he lives out the rest of his days, hearing those words, May he hear them over & over again.

the man above us has chosen a good jury. it might relieve the pain a little for the family. but he has received the maximum penalty amen.

Omgosh this is so heartbreaking 💔 for Teresa's family. My deepest condolences to her family friends and colleagues. ❤️🙏🏼✝️🕊

Its so sad to know there are greedy people who would kill their own family for monetary gains leaving their own kids all destroyed. Rest in peace Teresa god bless you in heaven.

That officer who helped her down from the witness stand and held her had while she walked out was really sweet. Poor lady. But I can see how Teresa turned out to be such a great woman.

@6:34 I never saw such a display of fake sadness (actually I have with other sociopaths) where he appears to be blubbering with dry eyes....he can't even squeeze out one lousy tear. You can pretend all you like but your body will always betray you. He is truly despicable.

Dr. Sievers was a wonderful doctor and I hope she is still healing people as an Angel here on earth. Bless and peace be upon Dr. Sievers. We lost a great woman but God gain an Angel in heaven.

My heart breaks for this family ,especially this good doctors mother and children. A profound loss for humanity.

There was a great mom behind Doctor Teresa Sievers!!!!!! Mary Ann, may God be with you and your family!!!!

Truly a heart rendering testimony of her daughters life. Please comfort this mother and her family.

How utterly tragic.

I would have loved to have a doctor like her. So horrible what happened. 😔💔

What could she ever have done to him to plot to have her ambushed and bashed in the back of the head with a hammer? What a horrific death, what terror and pain this woman felt. He claims he "loves his children" why then would you take their mother away from them? The most important person in the lives of little children murdered for no reason at all. What a legacy he left for them. Look at his fake crying. He's crying for HIMSELF. i hope he doesn't have twenty years of appeals at the taxpayers' expense.

@13:22 bless this beautiful woman; the tragic loss of a child is something no parent should have to endure 😔 I’m truly sorry for her heartbreak 💔

Crying because he doesn’t want to hear about Teresa. She’s gone, get over it.

Wow. What a impact statement from mom. RIP Teresa.

I don’t know much about this case but how could she be with him over a decade and not know he didn’t graduate from Medical school?? I mean what kind of jobs did he hold?? How did he kill her? Glad he did get Death Penalty

His family didn't mention Theresa .... all about the girls.. I guess his only friends he had helped him kill his wife.. He should be required to go on the stand and be grilled on his actions.. He just couldn't be thankful for his successful wife and providing for her family as well as being afforded the opportunity to be a full time parent for his children..

How hard it must be for a mother to lose their child, as a father I had lost 2 and the most hardest thing I've ever had to deal with and feel completely helpless....but a mother I feel has it harder because they carry that child....my mom used to say that she hoped to pass before us because she didn't think she would be able to go on if one of us did before her....only a mother would and could know that feeling only a mother can understand we as fathers have that unconditional love for our children not to say anymore than a mother but there's just that one kind of love we can't understand because we didn't carry them inside us growing.....God bless Teresa, her mother,family and children....may you all find some comfort .

I am truly sorry for your loss. From what I am hearing about her from her mum she was a wonderful human being that should never have suffered such a fate.....and at the hands of her husband. ..that's extremely PREPOSTEROUS! !

Teresa sounds like such an amazing woman! We lost such a talented Dr. who did so much good only for her life to be taken away because of a psychopath! He’s a monster. I’m so sorry to her Mother & family. So sad. May God watch over them & give them some peace & hope! Teresa’s life meant so much. She is the 1 who will be remembered♥️‼️

My my my what a fake ..he has..absolutely no remorse..she was indeed a gift from God..

My thoughts and prayers to the daughters and her mum 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Having lost a family member through a killer, I can say that nothing that waste of air does in front of that lady will ever make a shred of difference to her. The pain is beyond any death I have ever been through in my life. It changed me forever and blew that side of my family apart. I have no way to describe the utter contempt I have for such a waste of air. I wouldn't wish it on anybody, the void is HUGE and consuming. RIP anita you will be forever young and in my heart till we meet again. I love you 💔💔💔😪😪😪

So heartbreaking. Her poor mother! What a beautiful family they all were. Teresa was an absolute credit to her mother; she raised her to be the best human being she could possibly be. By the sounds of it, she really was. Teresa was doing amazing things in her work. Let’s hope someone picks up the baton with that. She was so special. RIP Teresa ❤️ This creep on the other hand, is disgusting. She was very unfortunate to meet this monster. You can tell, has zero emotion through all of this. His ‘soul’ is bare, we all see the devil he is. Cannot she’d one tear, gut wrenching.

What a tribute to a beautiful life by the best person to eulogize her! I cringed and looked away while listening to this because I couldn’t stand looking at this man and his tears. Her mom is a strong woman! I can see where Theresa got her drive and character. So sorry for her family.

I just want to hug her mom so very much. My heart is with her family and her little girls throughout this horrible ordeal they’ve sadly been put through 😔

Such a great loss.Immagine how many people have lost their chance to know this wonderful,gifted woman and find a solution to their health problems. Not to mention her own family and friends.This monster has robbed the society of one of its precious members. So much effort,study,hard work lost in minutes by the hands of scum bags.

Kudos to that Baliff for seeing her down off the stand and to her seat.....class act sir 👏

That poor woman never said one thing bad about the man who murdered her daughter. She just concentrated on all of her daughters accomplishments. God bless this poor woman and her family.

Such a Remarkable woman, must have had a Remarkable mother. Children are seeds and if you shower them with love, wisdom, kindness and encouragement, they grow into the most beautiful flowers. Thank you for raising such a Remarkable firecracker. She rocked the world in the time she had here. I am so sorry for the suffering you must endure, but I am thankful that you, a most Remarkable Grandmother, are there to share her legacy with them! Teresa will live on through you, and her girls!! I’m sure given the situation, this is exactly what she would have wanted. Much Love to you and your family. Thank you for finding the strength and courage to carry on, even on through the hardest days. ❤️❤️❤️

May justice prevail at last!

what a loss of a good human being to mankind i feel your pain mum such a senseless selfish killing may she RIP

This lady was an angel my heart is broken. How could u kill someone that's so loving?

My heart goes out to this mother 💔 you can see she’s so heartbroken 😔

We lost such a beautiful woman, my heart bleeds for all that knew and loved her and the loss of such a wonderful soul. May all that love her so, find some kind of peace and if I had the power......
