Do I smell justice??? I think I do.

If they're convicted and sentenced to life in prison, I want to see their faces when they go to the cells. I bet they won't be smiling then, in their little orange jumpsuits.

And I think the whole thing, ironically, should be shown on YouTube, trial and all.

They knew what they were doing was wrong, or they would not have had lookouts...I hope they all live a long painful life in prison!


Im sorry but I really have to disagree. A life sentence for something you did while a teenager, no matter how bad, is quite excessive. I remember being their age and doing things that could have landed me in note quite the same situation, but where more then one person assaulted another - although this was just cause, I assure you - it is utterly wrong for a man to maul a lady, so be it. Anyway, I do think a stiff penalty should be enacted though - the felony kidnapping to me is what sunk them. Why not just beat her up, teach her a lesson, then let her leave? They crossed in the line in that aspect and I believe a five to seven year sentence with some good friends to teach them right from wrong in there would be sufficient.

Who knows, some people do life in prison and come out worse, while others do a short time and come out with an understanding that they never want to go back. Prison terms are quite a tough thing to decide and I would hate to be a judge.

edit: I said is quite excessive for anything - I change that to anything except murder or something involving a child. These ladies were not children, yet nor were they adults. Its a tough situation to decide.

Isn't this one of those aspects of the system that really has to be considered in relation to cases like this. Are we asking to 'punish' these kids (?) or ... (GASP!) rehabilitate them?

You just know that, barring getting killed in prison (which is a distinct likelihood for anyone joining that community with a 'chip' on their shoulder) when they get out they will be hardened and as irrevocable trapped in the 'ex-con' mindset as possible. (Unless they find religion of course, but in some minds thats a fate worse than death.)

The whole trial on youtube? That would be a hoot. I'd especially like the part when they showed the evidence from the youtube video during court. Perhaps we could change their myspace profiles location to "JAIL."

Yarr! I just saw this on Google and raced over to this thread to share my breaking find. Oh well, guess ya beat me to it!

Here's some further details from a different link:

The TV talk show Dr. Phil McGraw confirmed on Saturday the fact that its staff bailed out of Florida jail one of the girls involved in the violent video posted on YouTube. The video depicted several teen girls beating one of their classmates while filming her.


I'm not sure what to make of this. Are they just trying to "secure" her for a show, or is someone trying to save these girls from getting what they deserve?

In his e-mail, Corigliano explained that the show has previously helped other “guests and potential guests” of the show with different needs, but in this case “certain staff members” who were in the process of booking guests for the Dr. Phil McGraw show went a bit too far and broke the rules of the show.


The article explains that they have now decided to cancel the planned show (apparently about the whole incident.)

I don't know if I can dig up a conspiracy out of this one, but certainly a very interesting story. Or maybe just another distraction?

Consumerism? Broken marriages? Are you serious?

Sometimes people are just plain bad. Even kids. There doesn't have to be a root cause.

This is 'Lord of the Flies' behavior. I don't see these girls and guys as anything other than a gang of thugs, some of which were also cheerleaders. They planned an organized violent crime, executed it, then posted it on the net to intimidate anyone else who might say something bad about them. Yeah, some were ringleaders and some just the soldiers but they all participated by choice. This begs maximum sentences for all involved.

Life is choices and consequences. They made their choices now they need to bear the full weight of the consequences.

Thanks for the info. I figured since I started the thread I should make an effort to keep it current.

This is a terrible case of an innocent being harassed and beaten by 8 "thugs." What's even worse is Dr. Phil's behavior.

From the link you posted:

When Nichols was released from jail, a man arrived and idenfitied himself as a Dr. Phil producer and ordered local media to leave the area because the Dr. Phil Show had exclusive rights to the story, according to reporters on scene.

The man refused to comment about why Dr. Phil would help someone accused of such a violent crime leave jail, and he would not confirm if Dr. Phil paid for her bond.


This is all about the story. Dr. Phi is less worried about the innocent girl who was beaten, but more interested in finding the "truth" as to why this ringleader did it.

I can answer why, she's messed up in the head...

Apparently Dr Phil isn't interested in justice, but only profiting off this story. Is Oprah going to host the other 7 defendants now that the ringleader has been bought out by "Dr" Phil? And is Montel going to have the girl who was beat up on his show?

The media is having a field day with this story. Thanks youtube/myspace for contributing to the delinquency of our youth, and thanks mainstream media for feeding the masses with more crap to watch.
