Topic : 03/16 Cheerleader Scandal

I know todays show sucked. With common sence and the evidence left on the body street and car could be determind 

Who does Daniel's mother think she is?  Who is she to never forgive Brandi?  If God can forgive us and forgave when His son Jesus was killed, who are we not to forgive others?  

My only daughter was murdered nine years ago and we don't know who did it.  Someone slipped GHB into her Sprite.  She died in her sleep. 

I didn't get to see my daughter graduate from High School either; I will never be a grandmother (Daniel's mom at least has a daughter) and I'll never see her get married either, but I feel that whomever put the drug in my daughter's Sprite will someday pay becuase I believe that God's punishment(s) are far more sever than anything I could ever do to anyone. 

I pray more for Daniel's family becuase they have no hope of ever seeing Daniel because of the hatred they have displayed on the air. 

For Brandi's family, I do feel bad, but at least they can go visit her in prison and they know one day she can be back in their arms to love again. 

I agree with 'jayleigh'  on this one!   Think of this!   Daniel was mad that Brandi had left him after they had talked outside his house.   Daniel had told Brandi he would kill himself or her brother.  Daniel sees Brandi come down the road toward her home.   Daniel can rid himself of the pain of being dumped by Brandi----- and make it look like Brandi KILLED HIM----- Brandi would have to take the BLAME for running off on Daniel!   So Daniel jumps out in front of Brandi's car.   Things are working just as  Daniel had planned!!!    Of Course this is an accident to Brandi!  No wonder Brandi doesn't know what happened after Daniel appeared in front of her car----- she wouldn't think Daniel would really kill himself over her!   Retry Brandi with a NEW lawyer!   She has paid enough! 

Okay, so it was an "accident" but then why didn't you stop and see if he was alright? I think her family and her need to realize that she should be thankful that she got such a short time in jail, compared to others. This girls family only suffers for about 12 years, but this guys family is suffering for life. I was watching today and the guys parents and sister were making good points. The mother and sister were saying that at least they can talk to there daughter...they can't even talk to him, he's gone forever..the girls family is being unreasonable. If it was an accident then she should have stopped to see if he was alright. She said the if she got out to see him he would have killed her, but he was on the ground...and hurt...was he not? Even if he said he was going to commit suicide, she should have told her parents or gotten a restraining order against him if he was harassing her that way. She needed to think before acting..i mean if she just hadn't gone out to see him that night, both families would not be suffering now. But you know what they say: Things happen for a reason.  

I am sorry for both families and i hope that both families can somehow deal and overcome this hard time. I feel sorry for the guys family because i think that that girl did murder there son. That girl did hit him, and i think she knows that she hit him, 
Anyways....
Good luck to both families.   

    I feel so sorry for Brandy I was in a similar situation. I am 24 and was in a four year relationship we went to high school together and grew up together  and it was a very abusive relationship he had also threatened to kill me and himself if I left him. One day He and I got in a physical fight and he threatened to kill me with an Ak47 and he ended up shooting the gun because he was so angry and it went out our apartment. He is now in prison and I know how Brandy is feeling that she was once in love with someone and wanted to get out but was afraid for her family and her self and when ending things a lot can happen and happen fast and I truly believe Brandy is innocent    

The death of Daniel was a undoubtedly a tragic event and I don't think anyone disputes that. Brandi will live each day with the knowledge that her actions (intentional or otherwise) killed another human being. While I do think that some prison time may be necessary, when does it become futile. I know that to Daniel's mother, there is no amount of time that could be too long, but no matter how long Brandi sits in prison, it won't bring Daniel back. I think that Daniel's mother needs to begin the healing process and let go of her anger. No one is expecting her to forget what happened, but her actions and the emotions she is harboring are only making her (and her family's) quality of life worse. Nothing can bring him back. It reminds of of a quote I heard once that basically says....it's not what happens in your life that defines you, but how you move on or grow from it. Rather than direct unnecessary bitterness towards Brandi and her family (as though they weren't negatively affected be this situation enough) she should use that energy and drive to prevent things like this from happening to other teens by starting an organization or joining one already established. She could do a lot of good by educating young people on the choices they make and how to effectively deal with difficult situations and she would likely feel more at ease as a result of her work. 

I have seen abusers jump in front of vehicles to try and prevent the woman from leaving him.  In this case, she stopped and he pulled her out of the car and beat the crap out of her.  I have no problem imagining her being totally freaked out by his behavior and her brain just shutting down.   

I really don't like the son's mom.  Her reaction and behavior validates her version of him being abusive...of the two families, his looks much more "piss poor" than hers.
