Drunk College Girl Kills 2 People Then Sings Justin Bieber Songs & Plays Dumb

[Music]. Bada bing, bada boop. In a hospital room in the emergency. department, there's a college student. just laying on the hospital bed staring. up at the ceiling. She doesn't have her. shoes on. She's got her hands on her. face. She looks very stressed. Someone. is in the room with her recording her. That's how we know this. She's rubbing. her face. I'm going to have such a long. day tomorrow. Oh my god. I'm not going to answer anyone's. Snapchats. I'm not going to answer. anyone's questions. The person recording.

her does not respond to her, does not. even try to comfort her or anything, just records her in silence. She slowly. turns her head over to look at the. cameraman briefly while she's laying. there. Well, you're too quiet. I'm going. to start singing now because I hate the. quiet. He still doesn't respond. Not. much of a response. So, she just starts. singing, laying there flat on her back. on the hospital bed. I mean, clearly. she's not that injured. She's singing, moving her arms around, doing the finger.

guns. Eventually, she needs to get up. and put more effort into this. performance. She sits up in her hospital. bed, takes off her socks, sits. crisscross applesauce, and starts. singing. You know those cute little Tik. Toks that are me at 3:00 a.m. pretending. to be performing on my tour. It's kind. of like that. She's cupping her face. She's flipping her hair. She's singing. She's singing Intentions by Justin. Bieber. The lyrics go, "Picture perfect. You don't need no filter. Gorgeous. Make. them drop dead. You're a killer. Shower.

you with all my attention." Yeah, these. are my only intentions. She's like whipping her head around. She's staring straight at the person. quietly filming her. Oh, yeah. You never. answered me about my car. I have school. tomorrow. How do I get my car here. tomorrow? A very low man's voice is.

heard behind the camera. Your car is total. Your car is total. Total. Total. Total. Right. Okay. So, how do I get to school. tomorrow? You don't. So, I don't go to. school tomorrow. Is that what you're. telling me? No, ma'am. You want me to be. honest with you? You're going to jail. You don't have a bond. You killed two. people tonight. That's what's going on. So, yeah. No, you're not going to school.

tomorrow. That man filming is a police. officer. Is she going to high school? Middle. school? College. College. Okay. This is the case of Stephanie Mel Goza, the college student who killed two. people and proceeded to complain the. whole time of how this could happen to. her. She would ask about emailing her. professor and sing songs at the crime. scene. [Music].

Mango's growing team, and we'd also like. to thank you guys for your continued. support as we work on our mission to be. worthy advocates. As always, full show. notes are available at. rottenopodcast.com. There will be two separate cases. included in today's episode. So, one. problem that we've been struggling with. is we get a lot of requests for cases. that are either ongoing and developing. or we just haven't been able to find. much information on enough to do this. full comprehensive deep dive. And since.

we only post twice a week, we thought. this would be the best way to bring you. those stories in this format. So, if you. ever have any case suggestions, let us. know in the comments or at. rottenmanglepodcast.com. So, with that being said, let's get. started. 10:16 p.m. authorities are called to the. scene on 2208 Main Street in front of a. bar called Full Throttle, literally. right in front of a bar. There's been an. accident. Right when they get there, they see this Dodge car parked in the.

middle of the road. It's red, and. there's pretty substantial damage to the. front of it. There's this massive large. dent to the front hood. There seems to. be what appears to be blood splatter. A. girl named Stephanie Mel Goza is. standing off to the side and she seems. relatively uninjured and honestly not. even in a state of shock. The officers. approach her and she tells them I called. as soon as this [ __ ] happened. I go to. Bradley, the university nearby. It's. actually a top-range private university, so just keep that in mind. This is in.

Illinois. Mhm. I go to Bradley. Why would this [ __ ]. happen to me? The officer asks her if. anyone took her information and she. starts pointing at him. Her finger is. pretty close to his chest. Uh, your. friend took my license. Your friend took. my license. The officer asks her, "Were. you leaving the bar or were you I I was. I was coming here." It's a little. strange how comfortable she is right. now. The way she's talking to the. officers, it reminds me of how someone. would talk to their mom. When a mom.

tells you, "Why did you do that?" and. you almost half whine. You told me to. I. was doing what you I was coming here. I. was coming here. Were you leaving the bar? Were you. coming just down the road? I was coming. I was coming here. Okay. You know, I had just gotten my night. started. Do you have anything illegal on you? Yes, I have marijuana in my purse. Oh. Have you had any marijuana tonight? No. Is it legal there? No. Oh, completely illegal. Yeah. Wow. He has her put her purse on the hood of. the cop car and she's still holding some.

items in her hands. He asks her to put. them down and she says, "My vape, too.". She later asks, "I mean, I graduated in. 4 weeks. Is this going to affect. anything?". She gets a full pat down before they put. her in the backseat of the cop car. And. the police, they don't want to ask her. more questions right now. Right now, their priority are the two people. Because near that red car, that's. Stephanie's car, there are two people. laying covered in blood, dead on the.

ground near the car. Right there at the scene, there are. contorted bodies. Even though her car is. red, it's pretty easy to see how much. blood has splattered all over the. windshield and the front bumper of her. car. There is blood quite literally. everywhere. There is a woman laying. about 30 ft from the red car, which is. quite far. But her leg, part of her leg. has been completely severed and is. attached to the front of Stephanie's. vehicle. It's stuck on the front bumper.

of the car, sticking out the front. grill. There are photos. It's blurred, but. there are photos. There's another man. laying about 90 ft from the car, and the. officers are seen trying to perform CPR. on their bodies, but they're not moving. Their bodies are in a really bad state. It's stated that at least both of them. had partial leg amputations as well as. full body blunt force trauma all over. And she knew that. Yeah. She's at the crime scene. She sees. this. She sees the two people.

acting completely face. I called 911 right when this [ __ ]. happened. Paul Proant and Andrea. Rosewitz, they had been at the full. throttle bar and since they had a drink. or two, they wanted to be safe. They. started walking back home. I don't think. that either of them were quite drunk, but I think even a sip, you shouldn't be. driving. So, they're being extra. cautious. They don't want to put. themselves They don't want to put others. at risk. It's 10 p.m. It's not that. dangerous of a road until Stephanie Mel. Goza starts driving. And it's very clear.

from the get-go that she is so. intoxicated. She tries to make it seem. like she was heading to the bar. She's. heading to full throttle to quote get. her night started, but the officer, they. read her her Miranda rights and ask her, "Are you open to explaining what just. happened?" And she's sitting in the. backseat of this police car at the. scene. And she's like, "Yeah, I was. coming to the full throttle and I was. almost here as you can see. Were you. driving this way or that way? I was. coming here and suddenly one person,".

she sticks her index finger in front of. the police officer. One person walked. out in front of me and my car got hit. and I called you as soon as I got hit. My car got hit? Yes. You called 911? Yes, I called 911. She's. nodding her head up and down also the. whole time like I freaking told you how. many times I have to tell you. I called. 911. As soon as something happened and then. someone said, "Oh, someone else is hit.". And I was like, "Oh my god, how did that.

happen?". Okay, so what happened when you hit that. one person? I just called you. That's. all I know. I called you. Did they fall. down right away or did you get out and. help them? What happened? I got out. I. called you and then everyone else came. out. So, I just kind of let them come. and take the situation over. But I. promise you, I only knew one person got. hit and I'm just like, they came out of. nowhere because like I'm a safe driver. I get it. I get it. If you had to. estimate how fast you were going, I.

would say at least at least 40, maybe. 40, 45, but at least 40. The speed limit. on this road is 30. You think that you. were going too fast for this dark area? Honestly, don't think I was going too. fast because I tried to be precautionary. about where I'm at. Um, but I just know. that someone one person came out of. nowhere. Did you have your headlights on? Yes, sir. Bright lights on or just regular. headlights? Regular. Okay.

So, obviously you saw them and there was. no time to react and she almost gets. half up out of her seat in the back of. the police car like she's gossiping with. friends and they're reaffirming her. No. time. That's word. That's word. That's word. Now time. That's word. Okay. Wow. All right. So, where were you coming. from? I was coming from Tavern 41 on. Sterling Avenue. Tavern 31. 41. 41. Yes, sir. And you left Tavern 41.

And drove straight here. Yes, sir. Over. the course of the night, how much have. you had to drink? Like I probably had like three drinks. What is like three drinks? Are you. talking like what what type of drinks? Just vodka, straight vodka, or mixed. drinks? Uh vodka and water. So, I was. staying hydrated, you know, like right. now, if you had me do a test, I think I. would pass. Just don't test me, but I. think I would. I think I would pass. I'm going to be honest. We are going to.

do those tests here in a little bit, but. how long ago was your last drink? If you. had to say about 40 minutes. So about 40. minutes ago, you were drinking and then. you drove. Were you drinking while you. were in the vehicle or was this the last. drink at the bar? At the bar. On a scale. of 1 through 10, one being the least. drunk you've ever been and 10 being the. most drunk you've ever been, where would. you say you'd put yourself right now? Five. Because I've been very drunk. And. right now, like I see you. I see. everyone. I know the situation. You know.

what I mean? Like I know I'm aware of. everything. Okay. The police do an eyesight. coordination test which she's going to. follow the officer's light with just her. eyes. I think it's wild because she is. seen smiling and laughing for even a few. seconds of it. And I Okay, listen. I. tend to give people a lot of grace when. it comes to nervous laughing. I'm a. nervous laugher. You give me slightly. bad news, take me off guard, I will. smile because I feel very stressed on. how to respond. But nervous smiling and. laughing, in my opinion, do not extend.

to this level. like they they're just. minor stressors. This is this is a. life-threatening life consequential type. of situation. But she's smiling and. giggling. because it's hard not to move her head, you know, and she's like following the. light with her eyes. At one point, she. even grabs hold of her face with both of. her hands. The whole eye coordination. test, which is supposed to test how. jerky your eyes are when they move side. to side. So, when you're drunk, no. matter how good you are at quote hiding.

it or behaving like you're sober, it's. very hard to fake this test. So, for. example, right now, if you're sober and. I move my finger across the screen, you. can follow them very smoothly, even to. the corners of your eyes, and then back. It's almost like a it's almost like a. train going back and forth. You'll. notice that drunk people, it's like. three points. They look straight, then they jump to. the left, then they jump to the right, then they look straight. It's very. jerky. And then even when they're. looking to the nearest of the left or.

the right, their eyes will have these. jerking movements almost like twitches, if you will, because if you're that drunk, that's. what happens. It's very difficult to. hide it. At one point, the officer tells her, "You got to put your hands down." And. she's like, "Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine." Like, they're playing a game. And. she broke the rules. And you can visibly. see on the camera that her eyes are. jerky. It's like a 3, like 1 2 3 that. she's doing with her eyeballs. She. states the eye test is so hard she would. rather just walk in a straight line for. them, which don't worry, she is.

instructed to do just that next. One. foot in front of the other. She's going. to do that, then go back to her original. standing position, back and forth, back. and forth. And it's it's likely that she. knew that this was going to trip her. because the minute that she does a few. feet in front of the other, she just. stops, puts her feet right next to each. other, and then she's like, "Oh, let me. try again." Like she acts confused on, "Wait, what were the instructions. again?" H. It's very choppy. It's very shaky. Then. she's told to balance on one leg. I.

mean, she can barely keep her balance. She looks like a gymnast who is about to. fall off the balance beam. So, they kick. their other leg up to gain stability. That's what she's doing. After that, the. police want her to take a blow test to. check her alcohol, and they tell her, "Take a long, hard, steady blow into the. straw like you're blowing up a balloon.". And she starts smiling and giggling. Sort of a way. Yes, ma'am. Take a deep breath. Long, hard, steady blow. It's almost a joke, it seems. And then.

she giggles before blowing into the. test. The other police officers standing. on the side, they look so so so so done. with her. Likely these are the same. officers that were just performing CPR. on the two bodies on the side of the. road. And now they're watching her. making this seemingly joke. She's even. seen smiling while being handcuffed and. escorted to the back of the cop car. She. is smiling while the other officers, they look depressed. I don't know how. else to put it. They just look over it. They look depressed. They're the only.

ones that seem to grasp what just. happened to Paul and Andrea. Both Paul and his girlfriend Andrea were. found deceased at the scene. It was. clear that they weren't going to make. it. One officer report reads, "Andrea's. left leg had been completely severed. below the knee. She had a deep. laceration to the inside of her right. thigh. I observed that her right forearm. and wrist were completely broken. She. had blood draining out of her left ear. As for Paul, another officer wrote in. his incident report, "I observed that he.

was missing his right leg below the. knee. He was not alert and had blood. coming from his mouth. I felt a weak. pulse and began CPR. My squad started to. carton off the crime scene and a short. time later, I observed the firefighters. placing sheets over both the victims. I. walked over to the front of the suspect. vehicle and observed a severed leg and. foot with a shoe on it that was pinned. to the front bumper of the suspect. vehicle. I observed a second severed. lower leg and foot on the ground next to.

the grass. The officer asked the. bartender of the bar because at this. point all the bartenders, all the bar. patrons had run out. They had heard this. massive crash. So, they're figuring out. what's going on. The officer asked the. bartender if the victims drove to the. bar. She points at an SUV in the parking. lot. She believed that was theirs, which. it was confirmed to be theirs, indicating they didn't want to endanger. anyone by driving because they had. something to drink. So, they left on. foot. They did the right thing. They did. the safest thing for themselves and for.

others on the road. But Stephanie and. Mel Goza did not. They did everything. right and they were still killed. Another officer notes that while at the. crime scene, Stephanie was just standing. off to the side just watching while. people perform CPR on the victims. These. are not the victim's friends, family. These are not I don't even think they're. medical professionals. They're just. random bar patrons and bar staff that. want to help. Other people are just. freaking out, running, hysterical. And. this was not on the body cam footage,

but the officer wrote in his incident. report that Stephanie told him, "I'm. willing to cooperate with everything and. do whatever you want as long as you're. not mean to me." She kept insisting, and. I quote, "Sir, I can tell you right now. that it was not two people." She stated. that it was just one person that ran out. onto the road all of a sudden, which. she's not that credible because the. legal limit for alcohol for driving is. 08. Stephanie Mel Goza's blood alcohol. level was.25. 253. almost three times the legal limit.

Typically that is severe severe. impairment. All mental, physical and. sensory functions are severely impaired. Even just walking is dangerous for the. drunk person because that person is. likely going to have increased risks of. accidents of falls. They have severely. impaired coordination and balance. It's. also likely the risk of choking on their. own vomit at this stage of alcohol. impairment is heightened. And because of. that, Paul and Andrea are now dead. Their cause of death were both listed as.

multiple bluntforce trauma sustained as. a pedestrian being struck by a motor. vehicle. When the authorities are. getting her ready to be taken to the. hospital, Stephanie Mel goes starts. talking again. Can I ask you a question? I have an 8:00 a.m. tomorrow at Bradley, an 8 a.m. class. Will I be able to make. it or should I email my professor? The officer seems kind of taken aback. and just tells her for the time being. they're going to be together for the. next few hours at least. She's like, "Yeah, no problem. As long as I can text. my professor.".

On the way to the police station, she's. telling the officer that's driving that. she's so embarrassed. Not because of. what she did. She explains while. laughing, "I didn't think he could hear. me, but he heard me." Oh my gosh, that's. so embarrassing. I thought I was by. myself in the back, but I wasn't alone. Oh gosh, what is she talking about? She was singing to herself in the back. of the cop car and she thought she was. alone, but there was another police. officer that heard her and she was. embarrassed. The officer just ignores her and starts.

driving. At which point you can kind of. hear her mumbling and singing in the. back and it sounds like she's asking the. officer to sing tunes. He responds, "Sing tunes? I don't think it's the. appropriate time to sing tunes right. now." He just tells her that they're. going to go to St. Francis the hospital. to do a ton of paperwork. To which she. responds, "I have an internship there. next summer." Clearly, she's not aware. that she's likely going to be in prison. next summer. Do you? Yeah. When I. graduate, I'm excited. Yeah. The. Department of Health, they recruited me.

as an official analyst. Oh, okay. And it's going to be $17 an. hour, which is a good job for starting. out coming out of college. I understand. I'm excited. I'm scared, but I'm just. ready to work and not be in the food. industry for once. You know, eventually they tell her, "You. understand what we're going to do. First. off, I'm going to let you know that you. did hit two people total." I did not. You did. I didn't purposefully.

Okay. Well, however you want to word it. yourself, that's fine. I'm just telling. you there's two people struck by your. vehicle and both are dead. I did not hit. them. I did not hit you right now. Okay. Well, I'm just telling you the two. people that hit your car. Ma'am, listen. If I. two people struck your vehicles, I'm. telling you and they're both deceased on. scene. I'm just telling you that. information. Okay. We're going to go in. here. We're going to do the thing. I. appreciate you being cooperative so far. I'm just tell I got to tell you what's.

going on. You understand? Yes. She honestly looks agitated in the back. of this police car like he's lecturing. her about something that she already. knows. They finally get out of the car. They start walking towards the emergency. entrance of this hospital and she. mentions that she does have blood on. her. And the police officer, honestly, he is maintaining his cool this whole. time. He's very calmly just explaining, "Well, your whole windshield is. shattered, so that's understandable. I. know what I did and I know what I didn't. do." And it's not true. If it were true,

I would be crying. You know what I mean? I'd be like, "Oh my god, I did this.". I'd be like, "But you I know what I. did.". What does she think she did? She thinks. that someone jumped out in front of her. car and hit her. One person. Okay. And then she immediately called the. police because she did nothing wrong. And that person has passed. Yes. Since. Yes. And that's likely not even what. happened. And she's very drunk. Yeah. Yeah. But still, even even so, like nobody would be like,

"Yes." Okay. That's weird. That's a very. good point. Even if her version of. events is true, her behavior is bizarre. Yeah. So, it's like, you know, like, yes, she's under influence and all of. that, but it's still really odd. It gets worse. Her behavior gets. weirder. So, when they get into the. hospital room, it's just Stephanie Mel. Goza and the police officer inside the. room, and she starts rambling about how. excited she is about going to Vegas. She. literally says, "I'm going to Vegas. It's going to be so much fun. I'm going. to spend at least $500.

if I'm going to start off with the. longer I. which is an alcoholic beverage. The police officer turns around because. he had been doing paperwork this whole. time. His body cam is on and that's how. we know this footage. But he's been. doing paperwork. He turns around. You. haven't had enough drinking already. We're talking about Vegas. I feel like. I'm in Vegas. You know, have you been. there? He ignores her and he keeps using his. phone to which she says, "I swear to you.

guys right now and I'm not going to be. mad.". Crazy. According to a few officers, she kept. asking for her phone because she needed. to Snapchat her friends and she kept. stating this is the longest she's ever. gone without Snapchatting her friends. Later, she gets escorted into a bigger. hospital room and she's laying on the. hospital bed. This is when she starts. singing Justin Bieber songs and keeps. asking the officer about when she's. going to get her car back because she. has classes tomorrow. And he tells her, and he's so done with her, she's.

honestly cruel. He tells her, "She's not. going to class tomorrow. She's been. arrested for killing two people, but she. bypasses all of this information and. asks, "Can I get it Tuesday for my night. class? Can I get my car Tuesday for my night. class?" Did you just hear what I told. you? You said I'm not going tomorrow, but I'm asking about Tuesday. Did you just hear what I just told you? You said I'm not going tomorrow. I'm. talking about Tuesday. Did you hear when I said that you.

I'm going to jail tomorrow? Did you You're going to jail when we're. done here? Yes. Did you understand what I told that you. killed two people tonight? Yeah. So, I'm just wondering when I can. go to school. Okay, we're done. She rolls her eyes, leans back down to. lay down on the hospital bed. And the. man tells her, "You could care less. about killing two people tonight. That's. sad. You're pathetic and horrible all at. the same time." And he was so composed. throughout this whole situation. And she. turns to him laying down and says, "Can.

you say that as a cop?". What? Yes, ma'am. I can. It's kind of strange. that she gets so upset and even. questions if he can even say that. If he. can even do that to her, treat her like. this. Like, how dare he when she. literally killed two people. Okay, so. can I ask when I get to go back to. school? Should I email my professors. that I can't go back to school for a. while or what? Because I graduated in 4. weeks. Like, I need to I need to know. I. don't know. The officer is sitting down.

and she's laying on the hospital bed. like it's her couch and she's just. chitchatting with her best friend in her. living room. That's the position. Even. if I didn't have a police officer in my. hospital room, I don't think that I. would be that comfortable in a hospital. room. The way she's laying, it's like, you know, when you put your you bend at. your knees and then you almost kind of. rest them on top of each other and her. legs are kind of spread out. It it's just very her body language is. just so comfortable. I don't even think.

that I would lay down like this at a. friend's house, unless I may be sleeping. over, unless maybe I'm, I don't know, so. close with them. She looks like she's. about to binge watch a Netflix show by. herself. And she's staring at the police. officer. And he just responds, "To be. quite frank, I'm a little bit more. worried about the two people who are. dead right now. To be fair," she rolls. her eyes and repeats, "To be fair.". to be fair. For a second, she's laying there rather.

quietly. Well, quietly for her. So, I. thought I thought maybe she's done now, right? But she continues, "Oh my god, I. can't wait to join the DUI club. All my. co-workers have them. Oh my god, all of. them have them. They're going to be like. so [ __ ] Oh my god, I got to text. them.". She calls it a DUI club. Like she's so excited and happy. The. officer reports that throughout the. night, she kept asking for her phone so. that she could text her friends that she. finally joined the DUI club. She.

continues rambling to herself and she's. smiling as she's saying that. By the. way, the whole DUI club, she's smiling. about how silly, goofy she and her. co-workers are. And finally, she sits up. at the edge of the hospital bed still. talking to I don't know who. It's okay, though, because they're taking me to. Vegas for my birthday in 2 months. That'll be fun. We just can't wait. It'll be like partying. How old is she turning? She's 24, so I assume she's turning. Well, 25 maybe. Yeah. Wow. And then she starts singing again. She.

was charged with failure to reduce speed. to avoid an accident, possession of. cannabis in a motor vehicle, and. aggravated reckless driving resulting in. death, as well as aggravated DUI. resulting in death. I mean, essentially. she went to a bar, got very drunk, and. then had a giant bottle of Tito's vodka. in her car and presumably was drinking. while driving, literally, and then hit. them. I think that she just didn't see. them because she was so drunk. Are they like on crossing the street or.

We don't know. It seems like they were. just on the side walking like you. normally would. That's crazy. Yeah, it doesn't. There. was no statement that they were crossing. the street or anything. It seems like it. was purely she just almost basically. aimed at them is the feeling. I don't. think that she intentionally did. Obviously, she had weed in her purse as. well as that large bottle of Tito's. vodka in her car. Now, there's a lot of. notable moments from this case. We don't. have much information on really anybody. We don't have much information on the.

victim or how they were walking at which. which part of the road they were walking. or any witness statements from Stephanie. Mel Goza at the previous bar that she. was at because she would plead guilty. So, we didn't need any of these. testimonies. There was really no trial. Now, other notable moments from this. case include while in the back of the. police car cuz there's a camera there. She's being driven to the hospital and. she starts pointing out the fact that. the officer's window is so clean in the. back seat that it almost looks. transparent. She said, "Damn, your.

windows are really clean." I thought it. was down. I thought your window was. down. Like dead ass. Like your windows. are really clean. Look, if you were in my position, you'd. be like, "Wow, that window is down. You keep your vehicle wellmaintenanced.". She then continues to sway and dance to. imaginary music. She also angrily states. to the camera that one of the officers. is being a dick by accusing her of being. drunk. And she says, "I've never been. more comprehensive or uh what's the.

word? I guess I don't know. That's about. it." She literally says that. Mind you, she's talking to herself and the camera. Then she continues to sway and dance to. the music, which is a thing that she. does on and off the entire night. At one. point, she starts dancing in the back. seat in a way that I can only describe. as intense dancing. I mean, she's. mouthing words to a song. She looks like. she's about to grind on the seat, making. faces like you would if you're. performing on stage. She also asks the.

officer while he's driving. Can I hit my. nicotine pen, please? This all I want. He tells her no, and. she goes, "Ah, fine. I'll just pretend.". She pretends to suck in air like she's. using a vape pen. It's the most. ridiculous footage I've seen in a really. long time. And she comments, "Feels the. same, honestly, and keeps doing it, even. exhaling like she's puffing out smoke.". She has plead guilty to all her charges, and she was sentenced to 14 years in.

prison. She is 24 years old. She said in. court, "I'm so sorry for everything, and. I'll never ever commit anything like. that again. I have not drank since that. day. I do not plan on drinking ever. again. I want to try and do something. positive to make a difference." speak. out about this and warn others about the. dangers that come with drinking, which I. mean, she was out on bail, but also. you're going to prison, so I imagine. that you don't really have a choice in. whether you're drinking or not for the. foreseeable future. So, it's not really.

something to say like, uh, look, I've. changed. Her attorney also argued that. he wanted to quote, "Pay it forward by. using her story to prevent others from. making the same mistake." Then Stephanie. Mel Goza turned to Paul and Andrea's. family and said, "I never meant to hurt. anyone. I'm sorry for the pain that I've. caused. I will not forget them and I. will live with this every day." Which is. the most generic statement that you. could ever say. One of Paul and Andrea's. family members stated, "You have. destroyed multiple families with your. selfishness. You have zero consideration.

for others. It was her decision to drive. drunk and she should be held accountable. because you chose to drink. You chose to. get drunk and then drive. Our friends. and family have a sentence of daily pain. and grief that grows greater each and. every day. But most importantly, Paul. and Andrea have lost their lives. Such. precious gifts lost forever. The victim's family stated that it was. Stephanie Mel Goza's decision and her. decision alone to drink and drive that. night. They demanded the maximum. sentence of 28 years, which they sadly.

did not receive. She has to serve at least 85% of her. 14-ear sentence, meaning she could get. out in 11 and 1/2 years. She won't even be 40. She's still in her. 30s. Yes. But not only that, it gets worse. She ends up still receiving her diploma. from Bradley University. Everybody was. so upset. At first, everyone thought. that she would even be walking at the. graduation because she was out on bail. And there was such a huge uproar. Students were threatening to not show.

up. It was really bad. She was. eventually banned from walking, but she. still received her degree. The even more. unhinged part is some people actually. defend her online, stating, "There is. not one person on earth that hasn't made. a mistake sometime in their life.". Wow. Yeah. To that person, I would just like. to say, "No way. Isn't a lot of people, right?". No. This is a small group of people, and. maybe like they are the mistake. I don't. know. Your lack of common sense and good.

judgment is the mistake here. How could. you even say that? One person commented. on Stephanie's father's Facebook post. My heart hurts for you and your family. Stephanie is a wonderful person and. you're a great family. I'm sorry for the. people who don't understand your. situation. I pray for you daily hoping. for forgiveness and understanding. It's. bizarre, but nonetheless, I do think. most netizens do not like her. They feel. zero sympathy for her. She said, "Can. you say that as a cop?" about the cop. calling her pathetic. Honestly, that.

officer exercised an incredible amount. of restraint. You can hear the anger and. the incredul in his voice. And I'm. certain that officer saw the condition. of the victims and her nonchalants would. have angered anyone. She obviously did. not give a a weaker person than that. officer would have rire vengeance. There were some arguments that she was. clearly so drunk that her mind likely. did not register the gravity of what she. had done. I personally have never been. that drunk enough to say, but those who. have been those who have been very very. intoxicated before wrote online, "Even.

in my most wrecked days back in college, I've never been so hammered as to not. care if I've just killed two people. Being drunk just lets the real you show. I bet her true self has horrific. disregard for other people." I mean, even her sober actions after being. arrested and what she said during to the. family and everything is just bizarre. To make matters worse, it's alleged that. while out on bail before her sentencing, Stephanie Meloza got married to her.

boyfriend and got pregnant. Wait, how? Why? She gets arrested. I think she had. $150,000 bail. So, she paid $15,000 of. it. Got out awaiting the sentencing. And. within that few months span, she got. married and then got pregnant and then. had a gender reveal. Okay. Yeah. Allegedly, the caption to the now. since deleted Instagram posted allegedly.

by Stephanie Mel Goza reads, "Through. the hardest time of my life, I never. thought I would have someone come into. my life and become such a big part of. me. Through my worst, I have found. someone who wanted to stand by me and. help me get through the toughest. moments, but also someone to create. beautiful moments with, something that I. wasn't sure would happen again. I truly. believe this is what it means to find a. lifelong partner. I am truly blessed to. be able to call you my husband. So, as of right now, she is in jail for. the next 11 years, hopefully 14. I guess.

all we can do is hope that she does. learn remorse in prison because whether. we like it or not, she's going to be. free and likely back on the road one. day. Yeah. Many netizens have commented. that this is the easiest fatality in the. United States to get rid of. I mean, what are your thoughts on this one? Because I just don't even understand. I. don't understand even her actions. afterwards. Even if you argue, "Oh, she. was drunk." But no, even her sober.

actions are so bizarre to me. Yeah. What are your thoughts? Leave it in the. comments. For a few years, investing was the one. subject that I was too scared to touch. Everyone was telling me how important it. is to learn. This is before I met my. husband. I didn't have the time to look. into it and understand it and like what. kind of account should I be putting my. money into? Am I putting in enough. money? What's good? What's bad? It's.

just so overwhelming that I would push. it off until later and later and later. Except investing can actually be so easy. to the point that I wish I started it. sooner.

pans for the dish, and it just makes me. dread the hour or two that I'm going to. spend in the kitchen. It's why I've. developed a very bad habit of ordering. takeout lately.

27th of this year. So, this is very. recent because it takes just 4 minutes. to ruin Linton Hayrick's entire. relationship. 4 minutes. His. relationship is practically over. 4. minutes. And now Linton's girlfriend is. in the hospital concerned that all of. this stress of her relationship being. ruined is going to harm their baby. because she has been carrying Linton's. baby for the past 7 months. Linton is. this fitness online coach, quote,

personal trainer and musician. That's. his bio. Okay. And he's usually an okay. guy. Kind of. Not really. He does have a. bit of a criminal history for dangerous. driving, assaulting a police officer, breaking into a residential home, and. stealing $82,000 worth of luxury goods. Literally, he took a suitcase nearby, started piling up all the jewelry and. handbags that he could find in this. homeowner safe. But other than that, he. is generally an okay guy. Sure, maybe. that's what they say. To each their own, right? But this time, these four minutes.

have taken it too far. When she, the. girlfriend, finally sees Linton again. for the first time, everyone that saw. this weird, awkward gathering said she. was walking in towards him in a blind. fury. All she could see was probably. red. She's beyond enraged. How could he. humiliate her like this? Everyone. Everyone had seen the video. Literally, everyone. I wouldn't be surprised had. there not been some sort of barrier. between them that she would have thrown. a glass of water at him or something.

How is he going to explain away this. one? He's caught on video cheating on. her. And this 4-minute video is as bad. as it gets. It shows Linton standing up. while a woman is in front of him down on. her knees performing things on his body. parts. Then she gets up and starts. making out with him. Now, the strangest. part is this video is not filmed with a. camera on a tripod. Someone is holding. the camera, walking around, getting. better angles. At one point, the. cameraman even turns the camera to. himself to show himself smoking what.

appears to be a joint. He comments, "This is a movie in it." While he films. the woman getting up, making out, and. then they start performing the fullon. intimate act. Linton continues by. grabbing the woman in the video by her. neck. He's got both his hands around her. neck and then he starts kissing her neck. and the cameraman is rushing to get a. better angle and he comments, "Guys, we've made history. This is what I'm. telling you." Then he gets the camera. right up in her face where it's clear. that both the participants, Linton and.

this girl, this woman know that they're. being filmed, but they're so engrossed. in the dirty deed that they don't even. seem to care. Even though Linton has a. pregnant girlfriend back at home, nobody. cares. Mhm. The cameraman then again shows himself. and he's smoking. There's clouds of. smoke in this room. It does not appear. to be an attempt at a professionally. filmed x-rated video. I know the word. cameraman makes it sound like they're. trying to create a high-end film or. something, but it's very it's very.

weird. It's very homemade, if you will. Linton has his hands around her neck, and when they hear someone trying to. come in, the cameraman slams the door. shut again and says, "Give me a minute. Give me a minute. Just one second.". and the cameraman proceeds to place his. hand over this woman's mouth to keep her. quiet. It's a very weird dynamic. So, Linton is the one having intimate. relations with her. The cameraman is. blocking someone from entering through. the door and then placing his hand on. this woman's mouth to keep her from. making noises.

There's a lot going on. They're still doing it. Yeah, they're still doing it. And I. don't know who's trying to come in. Now, this goes on for 4 minutes. And the. worst part of all of this is the woman. he's having relations with in this clip. had gone viral before. She was one of. the couples from this British reality TV. show called The Openhouse Great. Experiment. This show is supposed to be about. exploring what it's like to be in a non-. monogous relationship where a bunch of. couples in open relationships or couples. wanting to try open relationships are.

sent to this luxury retreat where. they're free to explore with other. couples. It's a show about swinging and. multiplayer activities under the. disguise of wanting to appear very. open-minded. I do think that a lot of. people can have great, healthy, open. relationships. I don't think that's the. problem, but apparently the show did not. handle it well. There were clearly. couples and people that were insecure. and did not feel good about what was. happening. One netizen writes, "I. started watching the first episode. I. think it's messed up so far. The first.

couple, the blonde girl and her husband, he admits he lacks confidence and feels. like he's not good enough. It seems like. he needs therapy rather than seeing his. wife get intimate with another man on. television. It's very messed up and the. guy will probably have lifelong trauma. after this. But another Netzen writes, "You realize nobody forced any of them. to participate? It blows my mind that. people are trying to cancel the. broadcaster. How are they at fault for. broadcasting a series where voluntary. couples explore open relationships? It's. almost like exploration isn't.

predictable regardless of where you. stand. I do have to say the show really. nailed down the shock value. There at. one point was a 15 person event where. they all had intimate relations between. 15 people. The girl in the video, the. one that's having intimate relations. with Linton, she was one of the 15 on the reality. show. Wow. Her name is Linda Desa Abru and she was. on the show last year with her husband. Nathan. So, she's married and she said, "Monogamy is a social construct that.

should be dismantled. Opening up our. relationship has allowed us to form a. deeper connection with each other.". Which, I don't know if it's just the. editing, but almost immediately after, she's seen twerking right up in front of. another woman's face and then kissing. two people. at the same time. Just three people. making out at the same time. This happened where? In the UK. This happened. This case is a UK Okay. Okay. Yes. So, the reality show was released.

in 2023. This is season 2. And then this. new video is in 2024. The 4-minute video. Yes. Where she's having intimate. relations with a man named Linton. And. the whole open house reality show. It's. just a lot. There's a lot of emotions. swirling around. And to make matters. even more interesting, Linda goes has. that 15 person orgy and talks about how. she's been with her husband for 9 years. and they've been open for 3 years and. they've got an 8-year-old daughter. together. So, does her husband know that. she's being filmed having intimate.

relations with Linton right now in this. 4-minute clip? Now, like I said, a lot. can happen in 4 minutes. Linton is. sitting down at one point and Linda is. all over him and the cameraman is just. sitting directly in front of them. perhaps two feet away filming smoking. turning the camera on him to say this a. movie in it gangsters you know you're a. gangster right he's talking to Linton no. one's coming through that door bro I. will fight them no one's coming do your.

thing bro there's a giant bottle of baby. oil on the table next to them and he. keeps saying you know we are family this. is how we live at Wsworth. A what? Wsworth. Wsworth as an HMP. Wsworth, Britain's second largest prison located. in South London. Linton is an inmate. The cameraman is his cellmate. And. Linda, the woman that Linton is having. sex with, is a prison guard.

In the video, you can hear her radio. turn on, and you can make out some of. the words. all stations activity. patrols. She's supposed to be guarding. the inmates. Instead, she is in their. cell having intimate relations with one. while his cellmate records it on a phone. that's been illegally smuggled into the. prison. Some portions of the video are. described as the woman's white prison. blouse is visible and her belt, which. usually contains handcuffs, a baton, and. pepper spray to control the inmates, is. bouncing up and down her waist.

Clearly, she's breaking a ton of rules. I mean, not just rules put in place by. the prison, but also the unofficial. rules that female prison officers have. set for themselves. One female prison. guard writes online about the rules of. being a prison guard in a male facility. She says, "Welcome to the show. Here's. what you need to know. First, they're. going to try you. It'll mostly be slick. comments that are inappropriate to see. how far they can go or always wanting to. talk to you about BS issues just to be. up in your face. And never, I mean,

never allow this to slide. If you do, they will keep doing it. Any unwanted. physical, you order them to cuff up. You. have to establish right from the start. that that nonsense is not going to fly. and you will enforce the rules. Avoid. being alone with inmates, especially off. camera. Situational awareness is life or. death. Know where you are. Know where. everybody around you is, where backup. is, and don't walk around blindly. Head. on a swivel at all times. This will. prevent getting hemmed up or blindsided. When your life is in jeopardy, do. whatever you have to do to get out.

alive. Getting choked out? Gouge out an. eye or bite down on any flesh that you. can get in your mouth. Three or more. have you cornered? Hit the man down. button. Empty your pepper spray can all. the way and pick up anything to protect. yourself. I mean, this is clearly not what Linda. was doing inside that cell. In fact, the. inmate had close access to her baton, her taser, her radio. He at one point or. multiple points throughout the video had. both of his hands around her neck. To. give you some context, Linda is a. Portuguese national living in London.

She recently started working as a prison. guard earlier this year, so a few months. ago. Honestly, nobody in her family even. knew that she wanted to be a prison. guard. It just came out of nowhere. She. went from being a personal trainer to. going on this reality show, The. Openhouse. And now she decides, "Hey, I'm going to go inside one of the most. underststaffed, overpopulated prisons in. South London.". At first, nobody could understand why. But I mean, sure, it's a job. It pays, but surely there's easier jobs, right?

Until she starts her Only Fans. Her. username was allegedly Linda from the. Playroom. Or you she said you could call. her Lamadre, the mother. Her bio. allegedly read before the account went. private, "Happily married Latina that. wants to share hot content with you. We. believe in authenticity. All our content. will be genuine and we will never fake. it because we want you to enjoy watching. it as much as we enjoy making it." Which. begs the question of did she do all of.

this to promote her Only Fans account? Linda's sister did an interview with. Daily Mail where she confirmed, "My. sister's a swinger. She was on channel 4. called a program called the open house. I never saw it. It's not the sort of. thing I would want to watch my little. sister in. I only found out that she. worked for the prison service in. January. That's when I spoke to her and. said, "Do not mix your lifestyle with. work. Don't be stupid. Don't do stupid. things. We're all human. We all make. mistakes and sometimes impulse can get. the better of us." But it's probably one.

of the poorest decisions that she has. ever made. Wait, the sister knew this is what she. wants to do? No. So she's saying she has only fans. Don't mix it with work. So I guess yeah, she has a inkling. Yeah. She's like don't What? What do you. mean? Like who even comes to that. conclusion? Like I would never think. about that. That's true. If you have a hobby on the. side or a second job, you wouldn't mix. Yeah. If I know someone who's the only. fan and then they also are like I don't. make that connection. That's crazy.

Yeah. Crazy. Perhaps. Yeah. It probably didn't help. in Linda's case that she tried to I. wouldn't say flee, but she tried to. leave the country immediately after the. video starts going viral. She took her. passport, drove to Heathro, and tried to. fly into Madrid. Wait, wait, wait. So, the the the video. was taken by the salemate. and he posted on social media and at. first it went viral in the prisons. because everybody has an illegally. smuggled phone. Yeah. So, she is okay with that. She knew this.

was taken. and she knew this was getting posted. The suspicion here. is that she thought it would leak and. her name would be everywhere and she. could capitalize on it. But I think she. discovered very quickly that she broke. laws and she was going to get arrested. She didn't know she was breaking laws. I guess not. That seems to be the case. That's the only thing that makes sense. for a lot of netizens that she wanted to. do this to make a lot of money to. promote her Only Fans is the theory. But.

then once it's done, she realized she. broke a bunch of laws. Maybe the video. starts going viral and everyone's like, "Hey, actually this is so illegal.". And she maybe starts freaking out and. decides, I'm going to not flee, but take. a little vacation. I'm assuming this is one of the biggest. thing they tell you like on the. employees manual like this is what you. cannot do. Yes. And it seems like it's been. happening more frequently. I know that. there have been a few higherprofile. cases of female prison guards that were.

fired for having intimate relations. I. believe one had gotten pregnant with an. inmate's child and another one had. tattooed the inmate's name onto her. thigh. And some of them will even go as far to. tattoo the inmate's cell number, which. feels very temporary cuz I feel like. they could get moved to a different. cell. But it it's it gets very serious. We're going to get into the seriousness. later, but. Okay. So, it sounds like she got the. job. Do you think she got the job for. this purpose?

That's what a lot of netizens believe. because her family said it was a little. random just kind of out of nowhere. Nobody knew that she was interested in. becoming a prison guard. It seems like. there were likely more ways for her to. make better money perhaps considering. she had gone on that reality show. She. was a personal trainer, right? May. So maybe she thought the. video would just stay in private like. only Van Paywall. Yes. And perhaps she thought maybe. people would think it's a hoax. It. wouldn't become like this international.

thing. It would get just enough. attention to her account perhaps where. she would blow up and make a ton of. money. Got it. I. this actually when this video first came. out it was briefly debunked. It was. briefly like, "Oh, that's not actually a. prison. It's not a real cell.". Like a fake video. Yeah. It's like a wannabe set. I see. Yeah. Wow. So, she called her boss on the way to. the airport, letting them know that her. husband is going to return the rest of.

her work equipment and she's not going. to be returning to work ever again. She. technically states that she's going to. visit relatives in Madrid. She was. arrested at Heathrow Airport in London. She's facing life in prison. Oh, yeah. Wow. How? For misconduct in a public space, like. misconduct in a public agency cuz she. works for the government. Wait, she may get life in prison. It's highly doubted she'll get life in. prison. But I think that this charge, there's no specific charge for the.

specific crime that she committed. So, this is the overall charge that it could. fit into. So, that the max is life in prison, but. I highly doubt she's going to get max in. prison. other female guards that have. been found having intimate relations. with inmates. They did maybe like three. three four years on average. She might get more because she filmed. it. Yeah. But she is um she is out on. bail, but she came on to Instagram to. post. Hello once again, Instagram. I.

hope you can appreciate this is going to. be a very awkward and uncomfortable. conversation for me to have. I just. thought I really needed to come on here. and clarify a few things. First thing. being, there have been a lot, and I mean. a lot, a tremendous amount of fake. profiles of me that have been monetizing. off of my misfortune and scandal that. the entire world has somehow managed to. be involved in. I have not monetized one. [ __ ] bit at all. This is my only.

social media platform and I only just. activated again. So, if you come across. fake profiles of me asking for money, please don't fall for it. There have. been a lot of fake GoFundMes and a lot. of fake OAF accounts that are not me. I. do apologize if you have fallen from it. from the bottom of my heart. I. apologize. I really want to clarify that. this is my only social media account and. I just came back on. On the topic of. impersonation, I thought it'd be very. important for me to address this very. distasteful subject of Only Fans. creators impersonating me. So, after.

this video went viral, a lot of OAF. creators started doing prison videos, but not actually in prison, like on. sets. Some of them would look like Linda. or try to dress like Linda and act like. that was Linda's full unreleased. Wow. Okay. Yeah. She said, "Pretending to be me and. recreating the scenario of said scandal, which I am involved in. Very, very. distasteful for you to monetize or. advertise yourself as me for of content.

It does interfere with my trial, but. furthermore, it is incredibly incredibly. distasteful. Please, if you are an OAF. creator, refrain from tagging said. prison. We all know the name of the. prison. Please refrain from tagging HMP. Wsworth on your stupid videos. There are. other jails in the world. You don't have. to pretend to be me. It is very. distasteful. The fact that she's calling people out. for distasteful activities. Yeah, this is crazy. Like, she feels. like tag someone. Don't copy my idea. Yes. And so that's why a lot of people.

think that she did this for the purpose. of promoting her only fans because she. seems very upset that other people are. monetizing and she wasn't able to. because at this point she's kneede in. legal troubles that there's no way she. can monetize. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She says, "And lastly, I wanted to tell. you that all of you do not know my side. of the story. The media has a great way. of getting the narrative, twisting it. for their benefit. The media love any. story to be salacious and sensational. They sensationalize everything. You.

don't know my side of the story and we. will leave it at that for now. I think other Only Fan creators making. money by acting to be you is probably. the least of your concern at this point. when you're facing life in prison. Like who cares? And this is what most of her rant is. about. So she's like we will leave it at that. for now. But then she comes back with. another Instagram story and she says, "Whilst I'm here." This also has to be. addressed. Whilst I'm here, you don't.

know who has you. You don't know who are. your friends until [ __ ] hits the fan. Honest to God, family, friends, you need. to pick them very carefully. Very, very. carefully. There have been people going. behind my back. The media have been. following me everywhere. I can't go. anywhere without being papped. Paparazzi. It's very annoying. And a lot. of the time it's people who you thought. had your back and they just don't. and. that's been really heartbreaking on top. of all of this, on top of everything. So, that's just advice for everybody to. pick very carefully who you have around.

you. She later states that she agreed to. film the video because she's claiming. the inmates had found out about her. other explicit videos and they were. going to make it known to the other. inmates that she was filming those types. of videos, which normally I might be. able to understand this type of. motivation and feeling of being. blackmailed. There have been reports. from other prison guards, female prison. guards specifically, that if you give. any bit of personal information or if. inmates find out about it, they will try.

to hold it over you. They will try to. hold it over you to get sexual favors to. get you to smuggle in phones, drugs, whatever it may be. They'll try to. blackmail you and try to ruin your life. You feel trapped. But I'm not sure that. this was that situation at all. She was. on the show open house. I'm pretty sure. her Only Fans was pretty public. I think. everyone knew what she was doing in her. free time. If the inmates find out, I don't think. it's some crazy secret she needs to. keep. I don't know how that interferes. with her job because what are they going.

to do? I'm going to tell your husband. She was on the show with her husband. I'm going to ruin your life and tell. everybody what do you mean? Mhm. She didn't say that she was forced, by. the way. That's not the verbiage that. she's using, but just so she felt. compelled to have intimate relations. with this inmate so that they would keep. the secret. Her other argument is that. she was generally just having a hard. time at work and her marriage was not. going well. She Yeah, she has plead. guilty to misconduct in public office.

She faces a life sentence, but also she. states that she found God. Yeah. Which. is, she says, a great source of comfort. for her. A very close friend of Linda. states, "Linda was going through a very. hard time at work. She was having lots. of problems in her marriage. She's. absolutely devastated by what happened. and is clearly full of remorse. It's. just devastating and she's trying to. rebuild her life. They're a lovely. couple and working hard to save their. marriage. It's not been easy for them. People are trying to make out that Linda. is some kind of monster, but that's not.

the case at all. There's a lot more to. the story than people think. Some of the. prisoners got a hold of Linda's personal. details. They knew her address, her. husband's name, and that she had an Only. Fans account. She was put under a lot of. pressure, and there was a lot of. coercion involved. It wasn't hard for. the other prisoners to get a hold of. Linda's personal details and everything. And she's just a very kind and caring. person who made a terrible, terrible. mistake. We all get things wrong in. life, and people shouldn't be so quick. to judge her, which. is I do agree though. I see a lot of.

comments like, "If this were a man in. Linda's shoes, this would be the most. unhinged statement." So, I think it. should apply in this case as well. The. prosecutors do judge her. In fact, the. prosecutors do not believe Linda's. version of events. They state this was a. shocking breach of the public's trust. She was clearly an enthusiastic. participant who wrongly thought that she. would avoid responsibility. There is no. excuse for any prison officer who. conducts themselves in such a manner and. we will never hesitate to prosecute.

those who abuse their position of power. So not only is it abuse of power, but I. will say there's that power imbalance. Others are pointing out that at one. point the inmate had his hands around. her neck. Her baton and taser were just. right there free for them to grab. It. was a clear violation but also a huge. safety risk for other guards and the. other inmates in the facility. Right. Right. Right. It also puts a. clear target on female officers backs. A. lot of them have stated when stories. like this come out, it almost furthers.

the quote commodification of female. officers as meat. The way that these. male inmates already see female cos like. correctional officers is they want to do. sexual things with them. And once one of. them gives in, they feel like it could. happen to them. They just need to try. harder. And it makes these workers jobs. so much more difficult. and it. borderline sexual harassment and assault. in some very dangerous cases. Yes, there's also a lot of questions about. how she was even hired considering she.

allegedly had a public Facebook post. with a caption that read, "What's your. type for me? Bandits, outlaws, and. criminals.". There is an investigation being held. It's likely that the prison was. incredibly understaffed and that's why. they hired her. And this is just not a. good look for HMP Wsworth. So, a few. months ago, September 2023, well, I. guess not a few months ago, but not that. long ago, an inmate named Daniel Khalif. was in prison for charges related to. espionage and terrorism. He allegedly.

planted a fake bomb at the Ministry of. Defense, which is kind of a big deal. And he tries to gather allegedly tried. to gather useful information for enemy. states, enemy countries. Now, he was in. prison awaiting his trial. He was a. relatively good inmate. He secured a job. at the prison's kitchen until he didn't. cuz he created these very strong ropes. I think he used clothlike materials and. he used it to tie himself underneath a. food delivery truck. He escaped from one.

of the largest prisons in Britain. He. was on the run for 75 hours. Yeah. So, yeah, you could say it's. understaffed. Things do slip through the. cracks at HMP Wsworth. According to a. lot of news publications, Linda's. father-in-law. So, this is her husband's. dad. He was kind of the spokesperson for. the husband. Nobody knows what Linda's. husband is doing. Is he staying with. her? Is he not staying with her? We. don't know. They have a child together. That's all we know. But the. father-in-law stated this was something. that happened where she was on her own.

She was the person in charge and she was. the one who needs to take. responsibility. As far as I'm concerned, her husband, my son, didn't know what. she was doing. She's an idiot as far as. I'm concerned. As for the inmate in the video, his mom. also commented. So Linton's mom stated, "If they're offering it on a plate, then. the guy's going to take it. You know. what I mean?" She goes on to state that. while her son deeply regrets his. actions, the fault lies alone with. Linda, the prison guard. His mom also. states that he used to have dreams of.

playing football and starring on Love. Island, the reality show, before landing. himself in prison. One netizen suspects. that Linda and her husband were both in. on it because it just it doesn't make. sense. One comment reads, "This is all a. grift on their part. She's an OAF model. and swinger getting notoriety for doing. a bad job while doing spicy things does. nothing but drive traffic to her page.". Another one comments, "It doesn't. matter. She definitely thinks that. essaying a man will get her a light. sentence because she's a woman. I hope.

the judge proves her wrong." While some. netizens, they just didn't take it. seriously at all. One of them comments, "This makes me want to get sentenced,". which again is not good for female cos. cuz it. and then another person comments, "She's. dealing with a hardened criminal. She is. currently out on bail, conditional bail, so she's being heavily monitored until. her sentencing in November, where she. does in fact face life in prison. And. that is the case of Linda Daoza." I.

mean, I don't even know. I don't even. know what to say about this case. It's. just such a I know that a lot of people. were taking this case very lightly. because it's he he shocking, right? But. when you really think about the ripple. effect of what it's doing to all the. other female cos to what it's doing. inside the prisons and the fact that. this even happened in the first place. and what if it wasn't Linton? What if it. was somebody else that decided that they. were just going to get rid of Linda and. try to break out or escape or let other. inmates out? I mean, this could have.

really been very bad. Yeah. on so many levels. What are your. thoughts? Let me know in the comments. And please stay safe and I will see you. in the next one.
