Rachel Hutson, 21, shot her critically ill mother, Sarah Lee Hutson, in their home while her dad was out shopping on Black Friday in 2013.

Rachel, who was 19 when the murder took place, told the court she had originally planned to kill herself, but decided it would be too hard on her mom.
She added that when she aimed the shotgun at her mother, the bedridden woman thought she was joking, called her crazy, and said she would be in trouble when her father got home.
Rachel, who had cared for her mom since she was 9, said the murder was more of an afterthought than anything else. “I felt like I was just nothing, and nobody really needed us,” she said.

God forbid evil. How sick.
She was definitely overwhelmed by her mother's situation and the responsibility of caring for her from such a tender age was too much. I hope she was evaluated mentally before being sentenced. What a sad world.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a sad story.
DeleteThis is a very sad case, but at the end of the day murder is murder. 18 years in prison seem fair in a situation like this, and she needs mental health treatment while in prison.
