Christie Michelle Scott
Some people are just plain evil. They’re mothers, fathers, wives and husbands just like the rest of us. They live among us, and hide their evil well, so well you’d never know the blackness that dwells inside their hearts. That is, until they find themselves in a financial crisis, or overwhelmed by their personal lives. They are some of the people we write about on PYSIH, the ones who commit those unspeakable acts that most of us would never even consider.
Christie Scott, 30, is one of those people. Back on July 8th of this year, she was convicted of setting fire to the bedroom where her six-year-old autistic son, Mason Scott, was sleeping. She and her younger son, Noah, now 5, were outside when first responders arrived at their home in Franklin County, Alabama, but little Mason didn’t survive the blaze. The fire occurred on August 17th, 2007.
But this isn’t your usual mother of an autistic child killing the kid to put him out of his misery or to release herself from the burden of caring for a special needs child. Oh no, this is much worse than that. You see, Christie Scott here figured that as long as she was going to lose a son, she ought to receive something in return. That something was one hundred thousand dollars from an insurance policy she took out on Mason Scott the day before the fire.
I said she was evil, I never said she was smart.
She steadfastly maintained her innocence, but there were other things that pointed to Christie Scott’s guilt. Fire investigators determined the fire began on or around Noah Scott’s bed. Those same investigators also proved Scott disabled the smoke detector in Mason’s room to prevent it from alerting her son to the fire. The victim was sleeping alone in his 
bedroom; Mason’s younger brother Noah normally slept with his brother, but on the night of the fire he slept with his mom, and both were able to escape the burning home through a window in her bedroom.
In October of 2008, Christie Michelle Scott was indicted on charges of Capital Murder for Financial Gain, Committing Capital Murder During a First-Degree Arson and Committing Capital Murder by Intentionally Killing Someone Younger Than Fourteen. She faced the Death Penalty.
The highlight of the trial was Christie Scott’s decision to testify in her own defense. When asked about why she purchased a $100,000 life insurance policy for both her sons the day before the fire, she responded by saying she wanted to lock in on a low rate:
“When they were 40-year-old men, they would still pay premiums for a 6-year-old and a 4-year-old.”
She also testified that after she had escaped the house with Noah, she ran next door to get help from her neighbors, Jennifer Davidson, and her fiancée, Brian Copeland. She said Davidson called 911 while Copeland went back with Scott to try and rescue Mason. Christie Scott attempted to enter the home by using the keypad for the garage doors:
“My hands were trembling so badly, I was hitting the wrong buttons. I tried myself about six times. I saw Brian put (the code) in twice I know.”
But she’d been caught in a lie. Brian Copeland had testified earlier in the trial for the prosecution, and said that Scott beat on the garage door, but he never saw her attempt to use the key pad, and that he never tried to use the key pad either.
Christie Scott’s defense also tried to minimize Mason Scott’s suffering, insisting that he died of smoke inhalation alone and never felt any pain. That was also proven untrue by the prosecution
Dr. Emily Ward, who performed the autopsy on Mason’s body, testified he died of smoke inhalation AND thermal burns. Ward testified that soot found in the child’s throat and lungs during the autopsy indicates he was alive as the fire began.
Mason was also found on the floor next to the bed, indicating that at some point the boy was awake and tried to escape the flames.
“We don’t think he was alive the whole time the burning was going on, but we don’t know at what point the death occurred.”
After nearly 4 weeks of testimony, and 9 hours of deliberations spread out over three days, the jury of six men and six women finally had their verdict. They found Christie Michelle Scott guilty of all three counts of Capital Murder. The sentencing hearing was an emotional roller coaster that would test the resolve of the strongest members of the jury.
Christie Scott’s husband, Jeremy, cried as he told jurors that he still loves her.
“She doesn’t deserve to get the death penalty.”
Scott’s mother, Kathy Bray, told jurors that executing Scott would reunite a mother and son.
“If you choose to take Christie’s life, you would really do her a favor because she will go to heaven to be with Mason.”
I found this statement particularly annoying – Mrs. Bray seems so sure of herself. I, on the other hand, doubt Christie Scott will see Mason Scott again, unless it’s to explain to him why mommy set him on fire and left him to burn to death. But enough editorializing…
Scott’s father, Donald Bray, also begged for his daughter’s life.
“I know in my heart that Christie didn’t kill Mason, and I know in my heart that Mason is in heaven. Christie doesn’t deserve to die.”
Finally, Christie Scott’s sister, Mitzi Bray, told jurors that Noah prays every night for his mother to come home.
It was just too much for the members of the jury. They returned from their deliberations with a recommendation of Life in Prison without the possibility of parole.
Enter The Honorable Judge Terry Dempsey.
On Wednesday, August 5th, Judge Dempsey exercised his power as trial judge to ignore the recommendation of the jury and sentenced Christie Scott to Death. Here are some excerpts from his sentencing order:
“The capital offense was particularly heinous, atrocious and cruel compared to other capital offenses.
There may be no more painful way for a human to die than by fire. It is not certain whether the victim died from thermal burns or smoke inhalation.
A high carbon monoxide level in the victim’s blood … indicate he was still breathing as he was burning. This would be a horrific death with immense pain for the victim.”
“It is easier to believe that Mason Scott died in his sleep, not knowing of the fire. However, the stark truth is, in all likelihood, that is not the way he died. It is reasonable to assume he died a very painful and terrifying death.
Regardless of the amount of pain suffered by the victim, it is still more heinous, atrocious and cruel when compared to other capital offenses.”
“The Court is a great believer in the jury system and following the jury when at all possible. Killing your own child for money by burning him alive is too much to overcome.
Christie Scott and her supporters were stunned.
It’s a shame that Mason Scott’s entire family forgot about him, and it took a complete stranger, one man with a powerful sense of what is right, to remind that courtroom what real justice is about. This wasn’t really about whether or not Christie Scott deserved the death penalty – she did, of course – this was a question of whether or not someone would have the courage to speak for Mason Scott. It seemed that no one, not his father, not his grandparents, not the jury, was willing or able to do that. Thankfully, Judge Dempsey was – he didn’t forget about Mason and his suffering, and justice for the little six-year-old-boy was finally served.
In the words of Judge Terry Dempsey:
“To intentionally murder your child by burning him is shockingly evil.”
“Justice must be served. The only way justice can be served in this case is by a sentence of death.”
We couldn’t agree more, Your Honor.

Great write-up!
She is evil and the Judge did a great service to society.
Good job your honor!
At least SOMEONE was thinking aboutthe victim.
The judge is right. Look at the Manson Family – one may actually be released from prison because she is suffering from cancer! – Too bad – imagine how the victims felt knowing that tey were going to die – and they received NO Pain Killers!!!
This woman is definitely evil – the greed helped her across that line. I am sure that an accelerant was used as well, so that played a part in what happened. Seriously if she wanted o kill such a child, give him a knife near a wall socket, let the child play with a toaster in the tub……. more humane deaths……
Given some knowledge of God, I don’t think she’ll be with her son at all – she may see him at the Day of Judgement, but he’ll be a witness for the prosecution….. Sure Christains do wierd things because they are still people, but I don’t think that Jesus wants such a POS in heaven – but that’s not my call….
Justice needs to be served and Noah’s father needs to find a better mommy NOW. Mason was murdered, who’s to say that Noah may not be next????
While I can sympathies with her because the child was such a burden, there are much better ways of dealing with the child – like DSS……… Not the ideal method, but way better than burning the child alive.
Let him play with a toater in the tub Fred? Haha.. your compassion is overwhelming…. but seriously… there can be almost nothing worse than burning to death. Even a man or woman who hates their spouse or kills for insurance money usually handle it in a more humane way than that.
For anyone wondering….I did mean toaster up there ;)
I totally agree, burning o death is one of the worst ways to go, esp because our bodies are made up of a lot of water, burning to death is rarely instant. I imagine there must be a period of extreme dehydration as part of that process………
I am going to hope he died due to the smoke and hopefully not the fire. That is one of the worst ways to go by far… .I need someone to de-code a dream I had though… I always thought drowning was a pretty shitty way to go… and that is all I dreamed about last night….I dreamed over and over again that I drowned… I wonder what that means? I hope it wasn’t a premonition.
If your insurance is good enough, ask your doctor for a Sleep Apnea test kit, which consists of a recorder and a pulse-oxygen machine.
From a traditional dream interpretation philosophy, drowning is typically a fear response to something you either are handling poorly or are unable to control, but still feel responsible for.
Examples given that I can remember include, piling bills, lack of saving, on the job failures, etcetera.
Too bad that her death will be painless. She deserves to die the way that child died. Can you imagine what was going through his head? Waking up to that fire and knowing that he is alone in there…he must have made some kind of connection that his mother took his brother out of the room to sleep with her on a night when the house caught fire. And all for money.
Excellent post! After all the times that courts let children down world wide, it is fantastic to see a judge speaking up for them. Excellent result. Horrific, unspeakable crime.
So, during all this, where was our loving Dad & Husband????
How can one be both a Dad & Husband when Mommy kills one of he kids????? If my wife ever killed a kid, I’d be on trial – because she’d NEVER make it into the court room.
He just “happened” to be in Atlanta on business Fred. Convenient, wasn’t it?
Given a wife that ugly (that picture of her smiling makes me need to look up Jodi Arias) and capable of such a horrible crime pulled off in such a stupid manner, I’d become a traveling sales man myself, work an oil rig – shit I’d even volunteer to be a crash test dummy!
I hope that he had the good sense to cheat on her, I did not and I was alone for quite some time after my wife left…..
I get the feeling that what separates my first wife from this bitch is what I said in one of my posts “… She’d NEVER make it into the courtroom”
This is another case where I almost wish I supported the death penalty. But I don’t. I don’t believe the government (or anyone for that matter) has the right to decide who lives and who dies, regardless of what that person has done. This doesn’t mean that this woman doesn’t DESERVE to die – she does. But that should not be any legal system’s decision to make. Either you believe that all human life is precious or you don’t. There’s no in between. My feeling, send her to the nastiest, meanest, most dangerous maximum security prison and make sure every inmate knows what she did. She might die, but at least it will be at the hands of a fellow psycho bitch, instead of a group of people in suits and ties.
Well, we’ll keep working on you Justin. *smile*
I 100% respect your view on the death penalty, but I also believe certain cases beg foe the ultimate punishment. In this case, I think the Jury’s recommendation of Life w/o Parole was a big victory for Christie and her family, and Judge Dempsey recognized that too. I really feel that the judge believed he was the last person left who cared and could speak for Mason Scott.
Er…so…lemme get this straight. You don’t think the state has the right to kill her in a humane as possible way, but you have no problem throwing her to the excremental mass of humanity that make up maximum security prisons so that she will, in all likelihood, be tortured, brutalized, and violently slaughtered? Hey, I like your thinking. A bit more barbaric then I think you believe you are, but hey, same results, more pain to the bitch…all good.
I think all Human life is sacred, but I think the definition of human is a voluntary participation.
You’re born human. It’s a naturally born relationship between you, your mother, your father and the world just beyond the tip of your nose. We give you a pass for a few months, but then we expect you to learn a few things. By the time you’re 18 years old, we expect you to know the basics and voluntarily participate. We don’t expect you to know it all, but with a modestly good head on your shoulders, right and wrong will guide you through the rest of your life.
There are rules you have to learn early on that define the boundaries of human existence. In the military they have to tear some of these rules down to train people how to take lives when taking lives is necessary. Some people, however, use animals to train themselves how to kill human beings. Some people form rationalizations for murder. Some people just so thoroughly drown their sense of right and wrong that they’re like a loose chainsaw in a nursery, and will cut and destroy anything, human or otherwise that happens to fall within the parameters of their collision algorithm (Gross Point of P(a) and P(b)).
Those are people who voluntarily leave the human race and its inherent protections. If a tiger eats a monsoon victim, they usually have to hunt the tiger down and kill it. Once it has a taste for human flesh, it will probably kill to get a ready supply. You can try to lock the thing up in a zoo, but it’s a danger to the zoo keepers and the guests who visit the zoo. The same is true of animals who used to be human beings.
There have been dozens of books about the Nazi’s at the Nuremburg trials. Details about this entire psychology that separated them from the death of dozens if not hundreds of thousands of people, attributed to each person. Shock madness, a rejection of humanity, a rejection of feeling and absolutely, a raw bestiality that you have to participate in to be truly, less than human. Death is a bad form of criminal control, but we don’t have anything that works. Abortion is about the stupidest form of birth control known to man, but in some cases, it’s all we have–there was an example from a commenter about having an abortion at age 8, it’s really the only option that probably was available to her.
This woman isn’t a human being. She attached a price tag to one of her children on day and set the house on fire around him. When others tried to save him, she withheld the needed knowledge and skills necessary to save this child’s life.
Given any other chance, could she cost another human being their life?
More so than any other human being, simply put, because the pattern she exhibits is less than human. A human being is a helpful, nurturing, community minded being on a path towards discovery and the rebirth of the next generation and the preservation of the fixtures that help maintain this one.
Wow, Jason, couldn’t have said it better myself….I totally agree with you, every single thing you said……
The only thing I have against the death penalty is how long it (usually) takes to enforce. People shouldn’t die of old age on death row, decades after the crime. I suppose if the state wants to takes decades to do the deed, put them in GP until the day comes. I think it sucks that the worst criminals get the rest of their life being secluded and protected- getting to write letters, watch TV, read books, dream, eat and breathe….unlike their victims. My two cents!!
Jason, I agree with you in principle about pretty much everything you said. My feeling about the death penalty has more to do with giving the government a power as immense as the taking of a life. I’m not one of those “the government is out to get us” conspiracy theorists (e.g. I believe the US government did NOT mastermind the 9/11 attacks), but I don’t like the idea that the government has the power to terminate a person. Again, the person in question may DESERVE to die (I see people who deserve to die every day on the highway!), but I don’t like the idea of the government making that decision. I don’t like the idea of ANYONE making that decision!
I think executing war criminals, Nazis, Taliban members, even that scum-suck Saddam Hussein kind of turns them into martyrs. I think a far worse punishment for them – and their supporters – would be to throw them in some random cell in the basement of some random prison and forget about them. Because that’s their worst fear: to be forgotten.
My feelings on abortion: I’m against abortion, but I don’t think it should be illegal. I think more often than not it’s a lazy, easy way to solve a “problem” as the squeamish like to call it. However, seeing as though I am a man and do not have a uterus and cannot ever get pregnant, I feel it is very arrogant and obnoxious of me to ever moralize about that to a woman who is in a situation to which I can NEVER really, truly relate.
Regardless, let me tell you all one thing, despite my feelings on the death penalty, I doubt I’ll shed a tear if they do fry this lady. Maybe this makes me a hypocrite, I dunno.
You seem to have the view of many Catholics – no death penality, no abortion……. I respect that view……
I also have a respect for those who are completely opposite – abortion & death penalty…….
I am “pro-informed choice” – I think a woman should have ALL the facts about abortion before making a choice….. anything less is not a real choice. I am also in favor of the death penalty….
WhaT I do not like is the views that are for abortion but against the death penalty……
While I do not like the idea of the state taking a life, the fact that a jury is involved makes it a little more palitable – as there are no such things as “career jury members”.
The way I see it – someone who has really fucked up and deprived a person of life for no good reason (like self defense) should forfeit theirs, but a fetus’s only crime could be “trespassing” – hardly a capital offense…..
Very well said Fred. Though I am rabidly anti-abortion, you still make excellent points.
Thank you.
While I lean anti-abortion, I realize that I can not impose my morality on other people, but I can inform them of my views and why.
I beleive that many women would NOT have an abortion if they knwe more about the procedure.
Also as i have posted earlier, what is so wrong with “home abortions” such as having someone punch the fetus???? My only answer is follow the money….. gotta PAY a doctor to do the killing…..
Also seems to me that a member of the Obama admin now refers to young babies as some type of “post natal fetus”…… so now one is still an organ despite being able to fully sustain life on their own given the proper resources????
” I beleive that many women would NOT have an abortion if they knwe more about the procedure.”
Absolutely dead on correct. Why do abortion “doctors”, “nurses”, and supporters of abortion throw such a shit fit when the anti-abortion groups feel that the women SHOULD be able to hear their babies heartbeat, see an ultrasound picture, and be fully informed about what the abortion will entail ? Why do those same people have such an issue with showing women what abortion is and does through pictures of aborted babies ? Why are there more Planned Parenthoods in mostly African-American neighborhoods ? Why are women told that the baby is only the size of a grain of rice at 12 weeks, and won’t feel a thing ? And why are women told that they will “forget” all about the abortion and feel no regret or sadness ? – I know all of this because I had an abortion, and can tell you I was told the same things, and denied the right to any and all information concerning abortion. Mind you, this was way back in 1994 where there was no internet.
Simply put, abortion harms both the woman and the child. And people, such as myself who are opposed to it want to save both. Not just the baby, because we know the harm and damage that it also causes the women involved.
you know, the subject of abortion. I do not think it is right, and i will never do it personally. But on the other hand, I hear of too many cases where mothers who kill their young wanted an abortion, and someone stopped them. It should be a personal choice.
Death penalty. I don’t think it’s right, but at the same time I do believe some people should fry for extreme cases. I don’t want them to spend tax dollars feeding, sheltering, and whatever else they do for animals in prison (people that harm young children especially)
for rapists, oooh man I with they’d do something to them to make their penis’s never be able to get erect again.
If it was up to me, I would keep the death penalty and only use it the way the criminal did their victims. I.E. strangle, stab etc.. then burn the fuckers and give some of their ashes to the victims family.
I am no expert on the death penalty by any means Justin, but you say the government has no right to kill anyone. If the people of the state vote that the death penalty is a good form of punishment, for these type of crimes ,does’nt that give the government the right to execute the death penalty if they see fit. If I am wrong please let me know. Like I said I am no expert.
What a horrifically evil thing to do. That poor baby, that is such a scary and painful way to die. Didn’t she ever love this kid?? He was so cute too. This is just really really sad :-(
Finally, a judge gets it right. Death by fire must be the most unspeakably painful way to go. I got a burn on my wrist once for a split second when my brother bumped into me while I was making dinner on the stove. My skin immediately started to bubble up and ohhhhh my God, it hurt like hell. I still have a white scar on my wrist where it happened. So, being consumed by flames, inhaling all that smoke, feeling the burn in your eyes. Being blinded, alone, terrifed… as a CHILD? Death is the only way to make the misery end. And death is the only somewhat suitable punishment for Christie Scott. I wish it was medieval times and everyone could get their torches and pitchforks out for good old fashioned PIG roast.
I don’t know how any mother could possibly do something like this. Wouldn’t you automatically favor the child who needed you the most? Just think of the other brother, he has to live his life out knowing that he was ‘the chosen one’. Imagine the guilt that would come with that title.
Man, this is why I totally support the death penalty. I cannot believe that the family just seemed to forget about poor Mason’s last few horrifying moments of death and continue to support this POS. I’m so glad that the judge still had the boy in mind. It takes true evil to do something like this.
R.I.P. Mason Scott
I have an autistic son–his diagnosis is Asperger’s Syndrome, to be exact. Never, in my life have I ever thought, for even a moment, about “ridding myself of the inconvenience” of my autistic son. There is no justification of any sort (though her family apparently thinks otherwise) for the weak and pathetic excuse of a human being who has no compassion for a special needs child ESPECIALLY when it is their own.
The mere fact that any adult person could take the time to plot a way to end a life…such a heinous crime…rather than taking the time to plot out their child’s future and help to grow their child into a productive human being….is unthinkable. She needs to go to hell, her pathetic enabling family needs to go to hell and (in agreement with Moop), she should burn just like her baby did. RIH Bitch.
RIP Mason…
One point-if given the death penalty she would be locked in her own little cell away from everyone- at least with life she will get the chance to be in general pop and quite possibly get her ass kicked multiple times over her lifespan….
What kind of evil bitch -at what point in planning, buying the material to start the fire, at thinking I am going to have to put the kid I want in my room, buying the life insurance policy-at no time there was not one human voice in her head that said stop, this is not right??? I see her as one of the more evil bitches on this site-she sat down and planned out how she was going to murder her child.,how she was going to burn him alive, what an evil bitch
This is just a smarter version of Shawn Ryan Grell with a pussy.
I couldn’t agree more with Jason’s comments above. You have almost perfectly stated exactly how I feel about these pieces of excerement.
When you do stuff like this you forfeit all rights to participate in society and you should be removed from it in the most effective way possible.
If you have proven that you are not, and can never be, a member of society and that, in fact, society must be protected from you why in the name of hell should you be kept around at all? It costs insane amounts of money to imprison and feed these people and, as slim as it might be, while they are alive there is always the possibility that they will somehow get out and do the same things all over again.
Jay Are, I also have a son with Asperger’s Syndrome. Like you, I can’t imagine someone doing this to a defenseless little child. I’d like to see her burned at the stake.
I have Asperger’s, so I’m even more saddened than usual at this one. The poor kid could have turned out just fine.
Also, please tell me someone Photoshopped the bitch’s horrible nose. It’s awful.
What. The. Hell. I just don’t understand this. I would gladly sacrifice my own life to rescue one of my daughters from a fire, and this woman purposely burned her child to death? I don’t know why shit like this still has the power to shock me, but it does. Reading this hurt my heart deeply. Poor Mason.
Once again, I would like to vote yes more than once…please!!!
There are no words that can describe how I feel at this point in time. I have a special needs son as well and have never in my life, NOT ONCE, thought about taking him out, for money, for my own sanity, for his well being, NOTHING! To read the words “Mason was also found on the floor next to the bed, indicating that at some point the boy was awake and tried to escape the flames” just breaks my heart. That poor defenseless little boy knew what was going on around him, and died knowing that no one was coming to help him. THANK YOU JUDGE DEMPSEY for standing up for justice and doing what was right! RIP poor Mason…you are in my prayers this day!
I hope someone burns her while she sits on death row, kill her by throwing acid on her face…
or chinese torture!
Thank God, for people in our judicial system like Judge Dempsey… This entire story just gave me shivers. That poor little boy. Geez.
And in my opinion, that entire family deserves hell for standing up for that crazy b*tch… Every time I hear of families standing behind the accused [*CONVICTED*] it sickens me, especially when the victim was a family member too. UGH. I’m so disgusted right now.
Some corrections: Christie Michell Bray Scott actually had a total of $175,000.00 in insurance on the child. This was the fifth house fire in which she had been involved in the last eight years. Yes, she is seemingly guilty. She also had a boyfriend who did not like the child (he claimed their affair was entirely emotional and not physical.)
Despite the ME’s opinion, other medical personnel do believe that due to Mason’s size and proximity to the fire, he did die from smoke inhalation. For whatever reason, her entire family attests to her innocence.
However, some of our staff attended three days of testimony. The prosecution lost some key evidence and bungled several other matters. She may get a new trial.
Read “Christie Bray Scott’s Road to Death Row” at http://shoalscrime.blogspot.com/
Thanks for those corrections. I actually used your blog for a good part of my research. I found all the articles on this story to be incredibly thorough and very well written. I was aware of the 175,000 dollars in total life insurance and should have mentioned it, but I was fixated on the one policy Christie took out the day before the fire. I went with the ME’s opinion because they found Mason on the floor by his bed – that told me he must have woken up at some point and known what was going on, and most likely felt some pain. Of course, since just about all the evidence was circumstantial, opinions would naturally vary as to the details.
How the prosecution managed to lose two of the electrical outlets from Mason’s room is beyond me, and they are very lucky Christie was such a unlikable person or they might have lost this case. I’m convinced she’s guilty myself – the insurance policy, the deactivated smoke detector, the incident with the garage keypad, the lack of soot on her clothing, moving Noah into her bed for the night – were just too much for me to come to any other conclusion.
Could you tell us what some of the other prosecution mistakes were?
The prosecution failed to provide some of the electrical evidence to the defense, as well as losing two outlet boxes. Also, there may be a civil suit (rumors, not yet confirmed that I can find) because investigators refused to let Scott leave an interview before her arrest. Defense attorney Robert Tuten filed copious objections.
Tuten claimed the boyfriend was badgered, but I heard the tape and am surprised he was not arrested as some kind of accomplice. He probably didn’t know about the plans to murder Mason, but we feel he did the arson.
Franklin County is a small rural area; a change in venue would have assured no one could contest the verdict on those grounds. I believe there is a good chance Tuten will get a retrial for Scott. The Scott/Bray family spoke with WHNT-19 about the trial and commented on the fact Rushing is still gathering evidence even after the guilty verdict (see our blog for 8/14/09).
I’m certainly 99.99% sure the woman is guilty, but I have no idea how a new trial may play out.
While not a muder case, Franklin County DA Joey Rushing is also involved in prosecuting the Reedtown Rapist for his fourth known rape charge. Feel free to use any info from my columns if you would like to do a story on that.
Thanks, SS

Sheburned her young helpless son to death and she GETS TO HAVE A SMALL ANIMAL IN HER CELL??????!!!!!!!!!
For some reason this REALLY pisses me off. Mason didn’t have any comfort that night. WTF should she!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at how OFFENDED she is in that video. So utterly appalled that someone would dare hold her accountable for her own child’s death. Holding her head up arrogantly and telling reporters that YES she does have something to say, send someone to see her.Thank you so much to the the Judge didn’t put up with her and her family’s bullshit. I know her kind of person. She’s the kind of woman that comes from one of those southern bible thumping families that have no knowledge of how to behave in mainstream society. I bet she used to get real snotty with waiters and salespeople. I can just tell by the way she talks. Well haha bitch, now you’re on death row. How shameful that not ONE member of the family advocated for Mason. What kind of mother tells the jury that sentencing her daughter to death would be doing her a favor? Well, she got her wish I hope they are all happy now and will shut the fuck up and go live the rest of their lives in silence and shame! Go back to church so the rest of us don’t have to listen to you. Pray for Mason while you’re there, ok?
Damn Moop….too right.
These are the “Christians” that I HATE with such burning passion and rage. But I will refrain from elaborating more on this. I realize many people on this site have deep faith, and while I may not share it, I do respect it.
Thanks, dude.
I really appreciate that you are open-minded enough and have the common sense not to badmouth ALL Christians because of the horrific acts of some sickos who, unfortunately, share the same faith.
Whenever a sadistic killer is in the news babbling about their beliefs in God, I just sit back and wait for the slew of Christian-bashers to start waving their fists in the air.
SHAME on that sick bitch and her whole family for using Christian beliefs to gain sympathy for a child-murderer. I’m glad the judge saw through that B.S.
Lonny,
No, I am not nor have I ever been, nor will I ever be a Christian basher. Not by a long shot, and my issues with “god” and religion are my own issues. They involve no one else, and really have nothing to do with people of faith.
Example, my husband is a devout Catholic, and my son is a baptised Catholic. That wasn’t exactly my idea, but I had no problem whatsoever with it, and it meant a lot to my husband. I am surrounded by people of faith daily, and will not bash thier beliefs. I just don’t share them.
I am more your garden-variety Agnostic, kind of bobbing back and forth between that and hardcore atheism. Though I must admit, most atheists I know are horrendous people with no morals at all, and I refuse to align myself with them. – If you want to pray at a football game, by all means go for it. I have no problem with that. I have no problem with people invoking their “god” at any time, and would NEVER dream of depriving people of their RIGHT to practice whatever religion they so choose.
The majority of Christians that I know are in fact delightful, wonderful people who really do practice their faith correctly. It’s the people like this woman who ruin it for everyone else, and bring out the “bashers”.
I just needed to clear that one up. The very last thing I would want to be thought of is intolerant towards religion, because I am really anything but.
I am so glad that Judge Terry Dempsey was the presiding judge on this case. I would personally like to thank him for making sure that Christie Michelle Scott will face the death penalty. This woman deserves worse than hell for what she did to her own child. I will never understand the mental thought process of how these sickos can kill any child.
God bless Judge Dempsey! At least somebody in that courtroom had a brain. That poor poor baby boy. Like it’s not sick enough to kill your own child, but to kill your autistic child at that? And for money? This evil bitch does deserve hell, and so does her freakshow family for defending her.
Amen to that!
Judge Terry Dempsey is a hero. Too many people treat autistic children as burdens when they can function fairly well with the right therapy, depending on the degree of baseline function that the person has.
Before you go and comment on what kathy bray said you might want to take a moment to get sum info. She lost her first son after she had christie in a bad accident and when that all happened she felt that she wanted to be in heaven too, she wanted to be with her son . And i know that in her heart her daughter could not have done that and she believes that christie wants to be with her son. And another thing that family wants to believe that she didnt do that and they not only lost a son but a daughter, sister, wife and mom. Just be more considerate of that family nobody wants to go through that and as a christan all you can do is pray for all of them.
…Blah…Blah…Blah…
I pray for the family. No problems there but this cunt needs to understand what pain is. She needs to burn just like her son. She needs to feel the same pain he did. She will beg to die. I will piss on her. Then light her up again.
I don’t care what she wants. I don’t care how she felt. She didn’t care about her son. She didn’t care about the pain he felt.
