TESTIMONY CONTINUES | Michigan woman who allegedly tortured, killed 15-year-old son testifies 

Plants never missed a feeding huh? Prosecution is not holding back. Thank you for fighting for Timothy.

The sheer audacity to vomit after seeing photos of her son in a condition that SHE caused. What a monster.

What amazes me is she actually is giving testimony like it is okay to punish her special needs son by not feeding him and giving him ice baths, hot sauce, etc. there is nothing a special needs son could do to warrant this type of punishment. It’s disgusting and disturbing. GUILTY!

400 hours of studying for the bar memorised to perfection. Strange memory issue

9:36 THE AUDACITY of talking about how she's been able to keep plants she received for Mothers Day "alive pretty well" UNLIKE YOUR SON!!!! OMG I love this prosecutor, his quick witted reply left her absolutely GOBSMACKED

Timothy weighed 69 lbs when he died. The Jury took exactly 69 minutes to find her GUILTY of “1st degree FELONY murder” and “1st degree CHILD ABUSE.” God is watching Shanda. Karma, Sweet, Beautiful Karma. This “creature” is NOT a mother. This “creature” IS a MONSTER. Rest In Peace sweet Timothy. You are in the hands of Our Father. You are safe and loved. ❤

What a soulless piece of work. Poor Timothy, society failed you. 😢

I feel so bad for the jury. It’s torture to have to sit through this. Even the judge looks like he’s struggling.

7:45 she got tricked into correcting him because now shes proven that shes got good recollection of what happened and she wont say anything that would further incriminate her. Smart move

Soooooo disturbing! He wasn’t supposed to be with her in the first place! She thought foster care would be worse for him.... In this case, nothing would be worse 🤮

She remembers the things that support her lies but everything else is I don't remember. Evil. My heart bleeds for the little boy💔

She's high on the psychopathy scale with this level of sadism and torture. I feel sorry for Paul, too. He was her proxy.

“I lose weight quickly, I’m assuming he got that from me…” Never has a sentence angered me so quickly nor so thoroughly as that chilling response.

Can't imagine what this poor kid went through. That family lived with the actual Devil.

This prosecutor is amazing. Wow.

Life without parole.

This woman is a monster.

This women needs to spend the rest of her life in prison or worse. She is Pure Evil.

She can keep plants alive but not her kid. She literally treated the plants better than her own child!

The POW’s in Vietnam were starved. This piece of crap woman treated her own child like he was a prisoner of war. Sick isn’t the right word, she is the definition of “twisted monster”. Not one single shred/iota of compassion for Timothy. Seeing her FAKE reaction to the child she tortured to death just makes my blood boil.

If the jury doesn’t find her guilty and doesn’t get Paul help I’m throwing in the towel on judicial system She studied 400 hours and came in second in her class but she has no memory of the events leading up to his death What has she been through to have ptsd???? Blackouts and tunnel vision and ocd conveniently coming into play This woman is psychotic!!!

This woman reminds me of a Nazi that has been reincarnated.

This woman makes the dad who was convicted of keeping his boy in a box in the garage look like a saint. What makes me bothered is think of children who are subjected to abuse every day. I feel horrible that this kid never knew love.

That woman is pure EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is sickening , she made Paul to do things and throw him under the bus ,to save her..I’m not sure what Paul did, but he had no life 💔💔

I’m so glad she testified. Her turn in the spotlight highlighted how evil she really is. What poor little Timothy endured is utterly incomprehensible to me & absolutely horrifying.

Her reaction 🤢🤮 to seeing the photo of what SHE did to her own son!!! She is a monster!

She really thinks people are gonna believe she doesn’t remember all the horrible things she was sending ? She was constantly punishing him, it was a daily thing. How does somebody not remember that but she remembers random stuff that doesn’t involve him. When her time comes, god will show her all the pain she put him through. May he Rest In Peace now.

She’s talking like all this stuff is normal! Jeez… that poor child😔🙏

You can tell the prosecutor is infuriated with her. This makes me absolutely sick. Makes me want to be a foster parent for abused children.

For people that are watching the livestreams, it's really infuriating to see her saying to almost everything "I don't remember due to trauma sir". It's cute to see how she believes stating that she doesn't remember abusing her children will help her. (despite there being evidence from her directly stating the contrary)

She even looks hateful. She really IS pure evil. Hard to imagine how anyone could torture/abuse their child like that. Makes my childhood of abuse look much milder.

It is astounding and very disturbing how she shows no emotion, remorse or embarrassment while reading those texts about the torture that was inflicted on her own son.

Did she really say I lose weight quickly and got that from me? JESUSSssssss she is sick

She is not taking no responsibility for what happened with this child

Evil Monster. Shocking to see all that Tim endured. May he RIP 🙏🏽✝️😇

Shanda managed to keep plants alive but can’t do the same for a special needs child? And she is throwing the other son under the bus? Her audacity is mind blowing. Timothy is in the arms of the Angels now and his suffering is over.

This woman doesn't remember anything she did but remembers everything Paul did. She's lying she remembers everything. She actually doesn't think she did anything wrong. Evil.

'I lose weight very quickly, I'm assuming he got that from me'...🤢🤮🤢

The dogs and the tomato plants never missed a meal…

That DA is spot on! He ALMOST repeated what he initially asked but not quite, he said “so you remember he weighed 108lbs” when he knew she knew & he knew she would repeat the exact weight being 104lbs.

She's like Sybil's mother...dark and evil... can't wait for justice for this monster 💩💀💩💀

That poor child never received one once of love since she received him I pray she gets life without parole then to have her other son do the same thing life without parole for him to

Ice baths & hot sauce without parole - EVER.

She has the nerve to scoff as if the context could change anything in this case!! Ice bath if he goes to sleep hard to misunderstand!!

This is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. I work with special needs kids for a living, and they are the most beautiful, kind, and gentle people in the world. I can't comprehend what this poor boy could have possibly done for his mother and brother to treat him the way they did. As a parent, you're supposed to love, care, nurture, and show them how to survive in this world, not hurt them, torture them, and punish them for eating. The fact that she is saying she can't remember anything is beyond ridiculous. She deserves everything that is coming to her.

She never should have taken the stand she comes across as pure evil

I cried yesterday listening to Paul's testimony while I was driving home. What a monster, this woman is

That poor young man. Shows absolutely no remorse or empathy for her handicapped son. Pure evil.

IDK who made the decision to allow her to take the stand but it was a disastrous one.

When the law allows these deviants to suffer the same cruelty they fealt out, things will change. This wicked female couldnt handle 1 ice bath or 1 chug of hot sauce poured down her throat, but she did this to this innocent kid for YEARS. he didnt even resist . Poor baby. Rest in peace

Where is the father, stepmother and step father, grandmother, etc. Not a single mention of them. This woman is beyond evil. One wonders what the older children endured, yet; Paul was manipulated and tormented and Timothy severely abused. What about Gabriel? Not only did the system fail these children, their own parents and extended family did as well. Horrific.

She is going to jail for a long time. She’s a demon.

It's funny how she remembers every detail for the defense lawyer but very little when being cross-examined.

she is faking throwing up

"Your plants never missed a feeding? How is that an argumentative question? She's proud of keeping her plants alive."

She starves her son but keep her plants alive 😢.

Oh sweet Jesus. Timothy "stole" some easter candy!!! What a crime.

This poor boy was eating raw hamburger, bacon…. Hiding candy wrappers because he’s literally starving to @@@@ing DEATH!

Wow. She can keep her miniature tomato plants alive but.... can't keep her son alive.

She has a prison guard personality 😮

my brother with special needs had violent outburst through middle and high school, where he had to be physically restrained. my parents NEVER hit him, punished him, anything. They made him pay for whatever he broke and clean it up. they took away his phone or something, but never, even when he was punching my dad did my dad ever fight him back. He simply held him down so he would not hurt himself as he was threatening to do. I had to call the cops once, and still my parents NEVER would DREAM of doing things like this. this is disgusting! He is now 23, doing much better, controlling his outburst. He isn't able to work due to anxiety but my parents make sure he still does things around the house and has opportunities to make money

She's totally faking it when she acts like she's throwing up because of the pictures

The creepiest person I’ve ever seen.

She makes my skin crawl. That poor child to have a mom like this. Monster.

She has no emotions.

I have three kids that have committed such “crimes” almost daily. It has never occurred to me to use any punishments other than scolding and explaining. This woman is an unnatural mother, a monster.

Paul was grown enough, had a job & could've told ANYONE at his work, even customers for heaven's sake! ANYONE! He's awful & terrible too

A true psychopath.

Hard to believe that she was a court reporter and then she made her older son abuse the disabled son this is over 50 times worce than the boy in the box 😠‼️

she never got sick while she was with him in real life but over a picture, she can't handle it.

Loving the prosecution in this whole case. Also she remembers a whole lot for someone who doesn’t remember anything

Knowing what it feels like to take a cold bath only for a minute or two let alone an ice bath for hour after hour! Unbelievable! It is certainly torture because he was not allowed to find relief. Together with starving him. I can't believe the brother did what his mother told him to do. He should have run to family or police right away when he saw the abuse and refuse to be a part of it.

This person is one of the most sadistic, controlling people I’ve come across. She is a true sadist in every sense of the word.

I don’t think her own lawyer liked her. Putting her in the witness box was always going to destroy her defence.

Selective memory. 😡

This woman and her son act like psychopaths 😮

Why would she take this trial? Cruelty for no reason!

She took her ugliness, her anger' her depression , all on this poor child!.. She abused him to make herself feel important! that is beyond sick! disturbed! the prosecutor should yell the power of christ compels you. her two sons did NOT deserve any of this! get HELP lady!

It’s interesting how her ptsd memory loss comes out when he brings up the most evil things she did. Even reading the texts she wrote she can only say “if that’s what it says.” Insane.

She don’t remember anything. She never answered correctly

It pisses me off how she acts so confused & trying to have this innocent look & act. I wish the jury had the power to just agree she’s guilty without testimony. Because the rage I would have for her to behave like that after what she’s done. I would’ve had to be kicked out

The. Lady's in. Jail. Will. Take. Care. Of. Her

The only thing that assuages the rage i feel for her is this one truth. That boy is DEFINITELY with Jesus right now. She can't torment him any longer. Her eternity........well, that's between her and Daddy. Jesus Rules!

I'm speechless. Unfortunately, parents kill children way too often, but on-going torture like this?? Why did she hate him so much ?

When her son Paul said, i think we need to feed him mommy, she said "i wouldn't have thought of feeding him eggs, not in the middle of the day "

That last 30 seconds was worth watching all this horror.

I can’t believe she took the stand! Obviously she was overwhelmed but getting outside help was a must for her family

What happened after the feed cutoff? Will she be in the stand tomorrow? The jury gets to ask questions.

A 6-7 year old weighs what this poor boy (15) weighed at death.

I pray Justice will be served to the fullest extent of the law

Tax dollars should not be paying for this trial, some things are so horrible money and time should not be wasted when it is clearly them "buying time" before they hit the BIG GIRLS CELL!

Kids should be assisted to seek independence from their guardians, even those with special needs. This is so heartbreaking. Poor Timothy, rest in peace.

The prosecutor kept saying 108lbs and she kept correcting, “104”. That’s either cosmic karma or genius! 😂

I would be interested to learn what a behaviour analyst would have to say about her testimony! She glances to the left a lot, is she looking at the jury? And did she fake or induce vomiting?!

She spoke of a mother in law..... where was she? There are neighbors.... where were they? ANYONE complicit in this boy's demise has blood on their hands.

She knows very well what she said and her orders to torture that poor, helpless boy!!!!!

This monster wants to be considered the victim and not the vicious abuser of her poor child. She's one of the worst people I've ever seen.

Hell is too good for this kind of evil! That poor little boy! I pray God wrapped him in His loving Arms and took him Home where he is free from the evil on Earth! 😭🙏✝️

This poor child didnt even fight his captors and torturers! He took it. My God how he suffered!
