What up, Killas? I'm Marah. And I'm Tess. And welcome back to Sisters Who Kill. Y'all, it is still February. It's Black History Month, but we always black around here. And I felt like it was still love season. You know, I love love season.

So we got another love story for you today. Our players this week are Crystal Parker, the victim, and Danielle Parker, our murderess. Crystal was born in 1978. She got a twin brother named Chris and she has two other siblings. Her parents divorced when she was around three or four and her mom actually moved away from where they were living in Florida to start her new life in Atlanta. So she was raised by a single dad down there in Florida.

In 2004, she moved to Georgia and she joined the police academy. She was actually diagnosed with lupus when she was really young. It's something that she constantly battles, but she got strong enough, well enough so that she could enter into the police academy, which was like a goal of hers. She moved to Atlanta and she served in East Point because I don't know why you want to move to East Point, I guess, to make the world a better place and shit. She said she loved it over there. I know, but like, you know, I lived down there.

She lived in College Park, but she worked in East Point, which is all down there, if you know what I'm saying. No, when she was not on duty, she moonlights at a club and she worked security. So one night the club was closed, so she got off and she decided to go get some drinks with friends. And then across from the bar, she sees Danielle sitting down and she literally looks at her friends and she says, you see that girl over there? Oh, that's going to be my girl. She was on her Michael Jackson shit. Watch me get that girl. Okay. She was like, I'm...

That's mine. Took her drink and went and spoke to Danielle, and they spent the entire night chatting and drinking and having a good time. So...

Danielle was just four years younger than Crystal. She was born and raised in Atlanta to a single mother. Now, Danielle had always been kind of heavyset her whole life, and she was very shy and reserved. And then in high school, she lost a bunch of weight, and she was like, you don't know me, you fuck the old body. You know what I mean? It was a whole new her. She starts, you know, opening up more, and, you know, niggas is noticing her. They was like, oh, you was hot, and you a little hourglass underneath all of that, honey. Mm-hmm. So...

You know, she's really liking the attention that she's getting or whatever, right? And, you know, Crystal was one of them who was giving her the right type of attention. So when Crystal came and hollered at her in a club, she was like, oh, what's she lit? Like, what are you hollering? It's over with, you know? And that's exactly what they did because in true lesbian fashion, they fell in love extremely quickly. And after a couple weeks, Crystal was like, hey, Danielle, you want to move in? And Danielle was absolutely like, uh, yes.

I mean, Crystal had a good job as a police officer. She was getting high up in the ranks. She had money that was coming in and was consistent.

She liked to spoil her girl, and Danielle didn't mind that at all because Danielle liked to be spoiled. At the time, you know, it wasn't legal to get married in Georgia. Same-sex marriage wasn't legal in Georgia, which is like bananas. That feels like traveling back in time, doesn't it? I know, but that's still like our lifetime. I know! But it just feels like, niggas really gave a fuck. Yeah, so much has happened in our lifetime. Like,

It's bananas. And they're so... We have a long way to go. Since they couldn't legally get married, at Atlanta Pride, if anybody knows anything about Atlanta, okay, there's a gay scene here. And it's lit. Pride's always lit. Black Pride's always lit. It's lit.

anything is always lit in Atlanta. So she was really active in the gay scene and at Atlanta Pride, they ended up having like a civil union at the Pride event, which is cute. Like they wanted to get married. They wanted to have the wedding. I don't think I could do that. Like get married at, I don't even know that I want a wedding. You don't want a wedding?

It's just the whole standing in front of everybody, the kiss. It's actually a spectacle, and I don't like to be made a spectacle of. But it's a wedding. You're supposed to be the center of the spectacle. I really don't like to be the center of anything. And then... That's so disappointing, friend. And then you know how I feel about PDA. You want me to be like...

Nah. Yeah, they showed PDA all the time. Like, they were known to be super lovey-dovey. They were known to be all up on each other. Like, hands in each other's pockets, you know, all that good stuff. I know you don't like that, but I love it. You better, if you love me, you better show it. If you love me, you better show it, okay? I sneak you a little love tap every now and then. A love tap? Yeah. Just so you know, I was still thinking about you. You got a love tap on his ass. Wait till somebody turn around and be like, no. Mm-mm.

Anyways, so they were very much in love. They had their civil union. And one thing that was really important to Danielle was changing her last name. She wanted to have Crystal's last name because that was her boo. That was her main. That was... That's her wifey, you know? So they ended up going through the legal process to change Danielle's last name to the same last name as Crystal, which was Parker, which is already a hard process because I know...

same-sex couples that are legally married and still have problems with the whole name change process. I hear name change is just a process in general. Yeah. Because after you do it, then you got to change everything. Social security, everything. The couple hasn't been together going on six years now. Crystal's getting promotions at work. She was the bike cop to be, okay? She had the highest rankings. She was the most decorated, like,

they loved her there and she loved being a bike cop okay she was like Danielle baby you know what I'm saying you gotta have some ambition about yourself so you know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna put you through nursing school and that's what I feel that you know you teach a man to fish he'll eat forever right I mean if somebody's gonna pay for my schooling you know I ain't gonna argue this is expensive I don't care what you want me to get a degree in it

How many benefits I get being in school, and then I don't got to pay for it on top of that? Right. Get out of here. She was like, yeah, let me put you through nursing school and all that. And Danielle was living the life, okay? Because Crystal was like, you in school, I want you to focus, okay? Don't worry about no bills. Don't worry about working. I got everything, okay? You just stay here and you grind the way you need to grind, and we both want you together, okay? Mm-hmm. She's holding it down. But let Crystal's friends tell it, Danielle was bullshitting her way through school, just...

enjoying not having to do shit, you know, just go to classes and whatever the fuck, right? Or not go to classes. Or not go to classes. Listen, because if I live off campus...

It was hard enough living on campus, but living off campus? If I wasn't already out the house, leaving my bed just to go to A class or two? Yeah, nigga, I used to be on the phone with you while you was late. Late every time, man. I'm late to every time. Tessa can't be on time for nothing, y'all. Lie to me. Don't tell me the right time. One day, Crystal comes in the house and...

And she see Danielle boot up on the couch with some chick. And she's like, what the hell is going on between the sheets in my home? Explain before you go and get your cake.

And she's like, listen, baby, chill. We just sitting here watching a movie. Like, what are you talking about? And she was like, you booed up watching a movie. And she was like, you honestly, you doing the most. She was like, my fat movie owner. And I'm sick of this disrespectful shit. Danielle, you got to get your shit. You got to go. Like, I can't do this no more. It is very disrespectful. Like, you don't pay no bills there. You don't pay no bills. So that's really Crystal's house, not your house. It's Crystal's house. And you got somebody up in there booed up on a couch.

There's a line. And you crossed it. You don't pay no bills there, girl. You can't be fucking up a bag. So Crystal says that she's over it with Danielle. She's done with it. She don't want nothing to do with it. But Danielle, you know Danielle's trying to win her boo back. That's her baby. She wants her back. So she's still coming over every once in a while. They're still hanging out or whatever. But the thing was, while they were broken up,

Crystal found her little boo thing down in Florida, down near where her daddy lived. And so she got a new girlfriend. She talking to her. This is the girl that she, you know, trying to get to know, trying to understand what she about, whatever. They went to high school together and reconnected. Over Facebook, like they do. You might know a little something about that. What? Instagram. Instagram.

So one day Danielle comes over and Crystal's like, what are you doing here? And Danielle's like, baby, I like, come on, stop playing. I don't want to be in my mama house. I want to be back here with you. I want to be back at our home. I love you. Stop playing around. I love you. Bitch, I don't want to be in my mama house. So she said she don't want to be at her mama house. She wanted to be living with, she wanted to be back home. Shit, me too. Turn this house into a home.

but you broke the home, but okay, whatever. So Crystal is like, no, I think you need to leave. Like, I want you to be gone. So Crystal goes to her bedroom. She's like, you need to go ahead and get your shit and go. She go to her bedroom. She call up a little boo thing down in Florida. Now, you know, Danielle heard this conversation and she on the phone, you know, caked up on the phone, laid in the bed, getting ready to lights out, you know? So this pisses

off she grabbed a gun the gun spoiler alert has never been found so we don't know who technically the gun belonged to and shot Crystal in the back of the head so days go by

Everybody knows that Danielle is back living with her mama. Days go by and Crystal and her friend, Rachel McCall, were about to have their movie night. They have a movie night every week. Like this is a standard friend. And Rachel McCall, this is somebody that she's very close to, like closest family. So Rachel's like, damn, Crystal ain't come over. I don't hit Crystal up. Where the fuck she at? Let me run by the house and check on her. And that's how you know you're concerned about some shit. Because friend, if I, well, I have your location. I guess times are different now. I'd be like, where the fuck she at? Oh, okay.

so rachel comes over and she's like crystal chris where are you like what's going what the fuck is going on she starts smelling something you know what i mean and so she's looking around the house crystal crystal where are you and she goes into the bedroom and she sees crystal laying lifeless on her bed with blood oozing out of her head so when investigators get there they realize that okay this is a close contact wound so this means like the gun was either very close and

or damn near pressed against the back of Crystal's head when it was fired more and it was like fired no more than an inch away from the back of her head. The investigators looked around the room and they couldn't find a showcasing, which means one of two things. Either the person is smart enough, gun savvy enough, calm enough.

to remember to pick up the shell casing and take that evidence with them. Or it was shot from a revolver. Cause I guess that's something I learned this week that revolvers don't have casings. And I'm sure that if I'm wrong, someone will tell us that for sure. Um, so they're looking around and they see her service belt. And of course in their service belt, they see her service weapon, you know, her police gun. And so they're like, oh shit, was she shot by her own weapon? Like her own police gun. Oh,

Oh, man, this is an officer. Shit, we need to take this more seriously because... Officer lives matter more than the rest of us. Right, because if y'all see Crystal, Crystal is white passing, but we saw her daddy, okay? Her daddy is a definite. Okay, so she's mixed, and we see her siblings. I think she just got all the white. So we saw her daddy, but she's white passing, and she's a police officer, and they took this case super seriously from...

the jump they bag up her service belt and then look at her body people come and they're noticing that she's decomposing so she's been there for a little while at least a few days and they look around the house and they realize there's no struggle there's no sign of forced entry it's nothing really out of the ordinary so police are kind of stunned about what could possibly have happened to crystal at this moment they're stunned and they're scared right they're like there's

A possible cop killer on the loose. We've got to get to the bottom of this. On top of that, they can't find Danielle, right? So they're like, oh no, what if something happened to Danielle too? So they try and figure out what are Crystal's last movements. You know, we've got to retrace the steps. So they hit up her boss at East Point and they're like, yeah. So Crystal's last day here was July 3rd, right? Haven't seen her since. She was supposed to come in for her shift on the 4th. Got this little weird ass text message talking about dad's in the hospital.

That's it. I was like, oh, you know, let us know if you need anything. Is he okay? She said, I'm fine.

that's not even what the fuck I asked nigga but you know let it slide but now that they're questioning he's like yeah you know East Point is not handling even though she lives in East Point East Point is not handling the investigation because it's too close so they pass it over to another department yeah Fulton County yeah and so like they're sitting there and it's like you know what that was kind of suspicious and that's not even like Crystal you know she's our most decorated bike cop she would never no call no show or

Or anything like that. She was police officer of the year last year. Mm-hmm. So they're like, okay, we got some suspicious behavior. They called the dad. Dad was never even sick, right? He's like, I ain't been to no hospital. And I ain't heard from Crystal neither. What the fuck is going on? Next, the investigators go cam. It's in the neighborhood. And they're like, hey, anybody seen anything? Anybody seen anything strange around here? They come across this man named Mr. Carl Thomas.

And Carl says, you know what? I did see something strange going around outside that bike cop's house. You're not going to call her regularly. He said, he said, I did see something over there. So it was like the other night there was this car pulled in front of her house and it was just sitting there and I was staring it down and she was looking real suspicious, like looking back at me. And I don't know, maybe you should check it out because that car didn't belong outside that house. Right. He was like, and then when she seen me seeing her, she just kind of pulled off in a hurry.

So, you know, that's even more suspicious, right? And so the man was like, he was like, you know, it's been a lot of burglaries around here recently. So I wrote down the license plate number in case anybody came around here and asked me some questions. They tracked the license plate to a woman named Miss Karen Andrews. So they find Karen. She lives less than a mile from Crystal's house, right? And detectives are like, this your vehicle? She was like, yeah, it's my vehicle. They pull out a picture of Crystal. They say, you know this woman? She's like, no, I've never seen her in my life.

It's like, okay, so tell me why a neighbor spotted you sitting at her house the other night. She was like, oh, I mean, I was sitting outside a house the other night, but that's just because my niece was coming over here. She was getting off the bus stop. The bus stop was close to over there. I didn't want her walking in the dark alone, so I picked her up from the bus stop, you know. He was like, okay, okay, that sounds good and all, but why you speed off like you was doing something suspicious? She said, because this weird-ass nigga across the street was staring at me, and it made me uncomfortable. So I got the

So they both did their job. I didn't know who this nigga was. I didn't know whose house I was in front of. I said, let me get the

listen the cops dig into it her story checks out she's no longer a suspect so they're kind of back at square one oh so finally one of friends got a hold danielle via facebook messenger and she was like hey girl what's going on um we have been looking for you crystal is dead uh you probably need to come around and she's like what oh my god crystal's dead how the fuck she said the love of my life is gone not wifey like wifey is gone

So the police are like, okay, great. We found Danielle. Let's bring her in for questioning. So at first she's in complete shock. The detectives asked like, we're so sorry for your loss. Tell us more about your relationship. And she's like, look, everything was great. And we've been together for six years, but you know,

it ain't always what it seemed like you know our relationship was kind of on the rocks um i moved back into my room my mom a few weeks ago we're separated we're technically on a break which i mean and really their break wasn't all that because even though crystal was talking to somebody else danielle was still over there two three nights a week they were still fucking so what kind of break was that i gotta get my girl so they they continue to question danielle they're like has anything happened i

of ordinary? Was anything that may have caused this? And she's like, you know what? Actually, a few weeks ago, I had already moved out, but right after I moved out, the house got broken into. Remember that neighborhood has been having a lot of burglaries lately and the house got broken into and Crystal was kind of shook about

The fact that her house got broken into, and she's, you know, a protector. She's a cop, so her house getting broken into, you know, cops don't think nothing's going to happen to them. She was shooken up. I mean, anytime you get your house broken into, it's going to fuck with you mental. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she was saying that was pretty recent. They stole, like, an Xbox. They stole jewelry. And the police are like, okay, sometimes a pattern for people that burglarize is to steal something expensive and then go back later to see if...

They replaced it. Like, steal an Xbox, you know they gonna go get a new Xbox. Shit like that. I thought the rule was never return to the scene of the crime. That's what I thought the rule was. So when they said that on Fatal Attraction, I was like, okay, that's a new one. The police think that maybe this theory is true, that the people who burglarized the house came back. And they eventually ruled that out because...

The house wasn't ransacked. It wasn't... Nothing was out of place. The only thing that was missing was her wallet and her cell phone. That's it. So now they got this theory that, you know, maybe they know her. Maybe it was...

somebody that she arrested. You know, she a cop. Yeah. Maybe somebody that she arrested trying to come back and get her. Like, what happened to Crystal? And then they go back and they think about that conversation that Tassie told y'all that they had with her police chief or whatever about the whole dad situation. The fact that dad said I wasn't in the hospital. And they're like, okay, so something is out of whack. And...

All this time they're waiting on the phone records. Remember, phone records, it takes a while to get. So this whole time they're trying to put pieces together without knowing where her phone is and where it has been. Police are getting, okay, back at square one again. And they're like, what the fuck happened to Crystal? So they're like, okay, let me get her friends together. So they got her friends together, all her friends from the scene, her friends in Atlanta.

And, you know, when lesbians get together, they tell the tea. Lesbians unite! Woohoo!

So they sit down and they're like, listen, what you need to do is look into Danielle because she's a freeloader. She's spending all her money. Crystal got to work overtime, double overtime to make up for the fact that Danielle is not doing anything to contribute to the household. And she be out here cheating. Crystal is done with it. Crystal is heartbroken, of course.

Because she thought that that was her. She thought that that was her boo. She thought that, you know, they got as close to married as you could get at the time. And so that's when the that's when the story came out about the high school Facebook rekindled love. So police are like, OK, bet. Let's find high school Facebook rekindled love. Yeah, they was like, Danielle is really trying to get back with Crystal. But.

crystal has moved on and the cops was like moved on huh so there's another woman in the picture what's her name so they call up ellen ellen michaels and they asked her to come see this was a long distance relationship and ellen lived in florida you know crystals in atlanta but they said ellen drove up right away to talk to the cops because she had to figure out what happened to her baby okay and it was like you know how's the relationship been going she was like you know it's kind of new um

It's been a little tense, though, because Danielle crazy ass be calling all the time while we be out. And I just be like, Crystal, can't you just ignore it? And she be like, it could be important. And I'm just like, if you still want to be with her, then just say that. Because I'm here, right?

I'm right here looking at you dead in your face. I hate niggas like that. Get over your ex before you come over here. So she was like, but I mean, it was cool or whatever. I would never want to hurt Crystal. And I was like, would you mind telling us where you were the night of the 3rd? And she says, sure. And they check out her alibi. She checks out. She's no longer a suspect. And I'm like, god damn it. So...

They go and they look through the phone records and they're looking through Crystal's phone records and they're looking through Danielle's phone records. And it's like, ah, wait a minute. What's this number here that keeps popping up on Danielle's line? Let's check it out.

leads him to a nigga named craig hudson her and craig hudson have been talking a lot they said uh let's get craig down to the station please so craig gets to the police station he's gonna interrogate it and let me tell y'all this is my man craig okay craig don't care about this bullshit do you hear me okay oh craig

They start off and it was like, do you know Danielle Parker? He's like, yeah, I met Danielle through some mutual friends or whatever. And they was like, and he was like, you know, they was, they was bigging him up, you know, and introduced them and, you know, they've been kicking it since whatever. We exchanged numbers on the first night and we just kind of been on and off again dating ever since. They said, wait a minute. So Craig was like, yeah, Danielle was real upfront, honest with me, you know.

And it goes on to say, you know, she mentioned that he was texting her kind of crazy. He was abusive and shit. She was just trying to get away from all of that, right? But it's like, Craig, do you know that Danielle does not have an ex-husband? She has an ex-wife. And dude is like, oh, hell nah. She told me she was married to a dude.

Nigga get riled up and shit. He's like, hold on, hold on. Then he was like, you know, on July 3rd, where was you? He was like, I was actually with Danielle. And then, you know, she was over at my house. And then she told me that she was headed to her ex-husband's house to pick up a few things. And she told me that she was afraid of a little confrontation and some shit going down. But, you know, I mean, like, technically...

you know, they might still be married or some shit. I didn't want to insert myself into their marital business and shit. You know what I'm saying? So I ain't go or nothing like that.

so which he was like but then while she was out she started texting me all crazy pick up the phone pick up the phone where are you I need you pick up pick up pick up okay so that's the end of the audio when sisters who kill began an online store was the furthest thing from our minds I mean

He's just coming to this thread of fucking messages, and it's just like, what the hell is she talking about? Then she texts him. She says, I did it. He says, you did what? She texts back. She said, I did it. That's right.

so sir what's that mean you knew about it you was trying to be you a co-conspirator what's going on and that nigga says my man said keep my name out of my name benny ain't in it like uh they let my man go because y'all heard him and they

And they continue to look at these phone records. While they're looking at the phone records, they notice that during Danielle's initial interview, she said that the last time that she spoke to Crystal was the Wednesday before on like June 27th. And the last time she was heard from anybody was July 3rd. So they looked at the records and turns out her phone pinged at Crystal's place on

on July 3rd and ever since July 3rd Crystal's phone and Danielle's phone have been pinging in the same location they look at the timing of the messages and turns out and locations and turns out when the text message from Crystal to her her boss saying like oh my dad is in the hospital that whole lie turns out that text message was sent from Danielle's mama's house

Boom. More evidence, right? So they get a warrant to search Danielle's mama's house. They go and search Danielle's mama's house and guess what they find? I want you to actually guess. I don't know if, do you know this? Let me think about it. They go to Danielle, oh, they find, they find a gun.

No, they don't. But they find bullets. They found bullets, 36 caliber bullets, because they found out from the autopsy report that she was shot with a 36 caliber, which is not the same as, I guess, police, the service weapons. So they know that she wasn't shot by her own gun, but they found bullets. They found Danielle's credit card and wallet. And then they found the Xbox and the controllers and

Turns out the serial number matches the serial number of Crystal's Xbox that was stolen during that break-in. She's got everything documented on her renter's insurance. So... No, she owned that house. Danielle needed some renter's insurance. So the police bring Danielle back down. And they tell them... They tell her about what they found and what evidence that they have. And they...

And then she completely shuts down, like turns hard as a rock, turns hard as a rock. And then they start showing her pictures of Crystal, like the pictures of her and her literal deathbed and nothing from Danielle. I mean, she is a she is stone. And then, of course, she asked for a lawyer. She gets a lawyer. They stop the questioning. They officially arrest her for the murder of Crystal Pond.

Parker. Everybody had different emotions. People were excited, happy that she was behind bars. Some people were shocked. Some people weren't shocked. There were a lot of mixed emotions amongst everybody that knew them and knew each of them individually and knew them as a couple. But what shocked everybody was when

Danielle put in a plea of not guilty. And everybody was like, are you serious, girl? Like, what the fuck? But Danielle put in a plea of not guilty, so she got some lawyers together and they got ready to go to trial. Take that shit to trial, bitch. Take that shit to trial, bitch. Take that shit to trial, bitch. Take that shit to trial.

Sometimes dead is better. Pet Cemetery. Bloodlines. Rated R. Streaming only on Paramount+. So, during the pre-trial hearing, the prosecutors are laying out what they suspected happened that night. You know, they go through the series of events, all the suspicious text messages, everything, right? They're getting everything prepped for trial. And then, on the first day of trial, the jury's waiting. The courtroom is packed.

And then y'all gonna say, I'd like to take a plea deal, please. So she pleads guilty to murder, felony murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and possession of a firearm while committing a felony. Now, what in the other case you couldn't charge him for murder and felony murder on the same time? It's the thing with every, I'm telling you, like, I don't know if it depends on the state. I don't know if

It's just if you care to fight it. Learn us something, Ms. Gloria. They also said at the trial, like, she did her... She was just stone-faced. She didn't turn around. She didn't say sorry to the folks that she... You never really hear it out of her mouth that she did it. It just kind of... The investigation kind of cuts off at, I want a lawyer. There's no tape at trial of her confessing her guilt or anything. She didn't acknowledge the family, just...

Like, you better be fucking shell-shocked. I don't know. I don't have any other explanation for it. All right, y'all. It is time for... Well, I'm not black. I'm OG. I didn't do it. But if I did, this is how I would have got away with it. I didn't do it, but if I did, I would have sold that Xbox. Why you got the Xbox? Because she played the Xbox. She probably played the Xbox.

And all her toys were left over at Crystal's house. She back at her mama crib. Her mama ain't got shit. So she broke into the house. Like, why you break into the house? Why? You got a key. Because it's not her Xbox. Because it's Crystal's Xbox and not her Xbox. You had to make it seem suspicious.

I ain't do it, but if I did... Okay, okay. So here's the thing, right? Danielle was over to Crystal's house the night of the 3rd, right? But Crystal made a call to Ellen and they spoke the morning of the 4th, like 6.47, right? That seems kind of bold of Crystal to call your new girl in front of your old girl after you or your old girl just fucked or some shit. You know what I mean? Listen...

Apparently, Crystal had. Let me tell you, she's got pull, okay? I don't know. I ain't do it. But if I did, you just got to make clean cuts. Like, when they start dating somebody else, that means your time is up. Like, who really wants to fight like that? Right. I'm not coming back. Nah, man. I'll work on it while I'm ready to work on it. But once I'm tired and ready to go on, I'm tired and ready to go on.

You know, these episodes never fail to crack me up. Because in Fatal Attraction, they so fucking shady. So in Fatal Attraction, when they was talking to Craig, and they was like, they said the police was confused, because, you know, Craig's a man, and Danielle was clearly a lesbian. Why they cut to the scene of Craig and Danielle on the first date, and they got Danielle to fucking pull up?

She dressed like a stud next to this nigga. It's like, we're just confused on how this happened. First of all, there was a news source that said that Crystal was killed by her roommate. Yeah! And they said she was killed by her roommate. I was like, y'all wildin'. That shit was so funny to me, though. And it's crazy that they even had her dressed like that because if you look at

any of the pictures of Danielle, she doesn't look butch in any of them. You know what I mean? Like, she be wearing the little shirts with the slits in them that say baby girl and shit. Like, they be tight and hugging her. So, the fact that y'all reenacting her as this whole stud-ass nigga on a date with this guy talking about it just didn't make sense that they were dating. Parole or no parole? No parole. That bitch didn't say shit to nobody. Right, she was really... Like, you didn't even...

no remorse no nothing you didn't even try to get this through school like come on now she showed her ass every step of the way and like you fucked up in the relationship playing her her own house you fucked up killing this bitch in her own house

You fucked up going to her child, not giving a fuck. They also said, remember I was talking about how she remembered to pick up her shell case, and they said that she had a purple gun. Everybody knew that she had a purple gun, but you couldn't find that gun. Because Crystal taught everybody around her how to use a fucking gun. All her friends was like, we know how to use a gun because Crystal taught us gun safety. And she made sure that she taught Danielle, too. And somebody that knows guns is always going to tell you to pick up your case and, like,

Should not be having to do reviews. Do people even still like us? Yeah. I just feel like we need to change to Saturday. And then somebody messaged us. See, I guess I didn't realize that it had changed to Saturday.
