If we’re sitting here scrutinizing her face, well, I’d say she recently suffered some serious jaw/orbit/head trauma.

She/it could have at least fixed the hair for the photo.

Bruja works equally well, and likely more etymologically correct. Thanks for that!

I have a feeling that high pressure life and death decisions have been distracting her from headline politics as of late.

I was referring to folks who feel virtuous and smug about allowing a constant unfiltered stream of millions, where some report state that a full 10% of the nations population now is comprised of, “Undocumented”, much of whom are criminals fleeing justice in their own countries, and the mentally dysfunctional that their home country was glad to see go.

Google : killed by illegal, sexually assaulted by illegal, abducted by illegal, assaulted by illegal

Yes, I am presuming she is in the country illegally, but since immigration status is never reported in west coast states news story, out of political Kindness of course, you can’t prove she’s not.

As a bonus, word is, bubonic plague is back on the menu, boys, with exotic variants of Tuberculosis. I only hope fate is just with whom it metes out the death cards.

Agreed. Hopefully there are witnesses willing to testify and justice is served in this case.

You get just as much “justice” as you can afford. The “truth” is what’s provable and what’s provable is rarely the truth. Ask O.J.

She has the look of a homicidal maniac.
I am sure there is more to the story, we never get the defenders side of the story, what happened to jailhouse phone interviews. Even Charlie has those, Imagine a local media outlet that interviewed the detainees 🤔

I noticed that the whole left side of her head is deformed. Part or her left eyebrow is missing. Her left ear is higher that her right. Her left eye socket is different. Her face is wider on the left.
She may have brain damage from a terrible accident. I hope she gets a fair trial.

Refreshing to see a comment that isn’t a mob mentality, rush to judgement shooting fish in a barrel type which seems to be the majority on this site lately. Also the article said injuries she obtained during assault which isn’t clear if self defense though sounds like witnesses.

Brain damage or not if she is running around tying to kill people she needs to be locked up for life. If she is to crazy to be held accountable then state hospital. The next person she kills could be you or one of you kids.

What has already been tried?
Lock ’em up and throw away the key shouldn’t be the first option.

Yet there is some guy somewhere that will still date her when she gets out because she said “I’m good now” and that’s all he needed to know.
