Poor mom, really looking out for her daughter. Too bad she didn't just go to the police first. Unless she felt they wouldn't have done anything to protect her daughter from this punk who reportedly had been threatening to kill her.
Innocent.
Would YOU trust the police to protect you from a thug like that?
What are they going to do? Issue an order of protection?
Yup that will work really well.
As a mother, I can understand her pain and frustration.
No child should ever have to go through that and I'd consider it a safe bet that she's not the only one he's ever molested or raped.
No doubt she saved other girls the horror.
Not guilty.
... This appears to be a “Crime of Passion” .... The Courts will more than likely respond accordingly.
NOT GUILTY!
It’s not as if the police were going to do anything.
Providing the facts of the accusations were true, I can see her doing this.
I am a bit nervous about the stories kids tell after several years. I want to make it clear, this not through any fault of their own at times.
I’ll never forget the McMartin case out here in California. They thought they had a problem and interviewed kids. The stories those kids came up with were amazing.
The McMartins were literally destroyed over it. From coast to cost the McMartins were vilified ruthlessly. Hey, it looked as if they were guilty as sin, the way things were presented.
And then the kid’s stories began to fall apart. Some of them were so fanciful that law enforcement should have known early on they had major problems on their hands, but they forged ahead with the case.
In the end, they found that the interviewers had used some terrible techniques that lead to incredibly salacious and totally baseless charges.
What a mess.
I lean toward supporting this mom’s actions, but we’re talking some very serious stakes here.
Killing the guy for a seven old crime based only on the word of a 13 or 14 year old girl ?
I certainly don’t blame her, but no way is she getting away with it...
Plus she is basically abandoned her daughter by going to prison if convicted...which is likely.
Mother of the Year Award seems appropriate...
When the law ceases to be a method of achieving justice, other methods will prevail...
One look at him, and Obama and fellow liberals would say “not guilty!”.
Is it just me tonight, or is the article really badly written?
Is it possible to set up a “Go Fund Me” account for criminal defense? I gave the site a quick look and found nothing related to the topic. This Mom is going to need the money. Having been in a similar situation, I completely sympathize with her.
This is really unclear. It doesn’t say how many years ago, but if it was, say six years ago, the kid was 12 when he did it. Bad, but at that age they aren’t hitting on all cylinders unless they’ve had a stellar upbringing, which... ? I doubt?
Poorly written article.
Lot of facts we likely aren’t getting here. Considering the state of journalism, likely we never will.
“Sierra was reportedly shot six times by two different guns, one of which held Serbu’s prints. But police documents say it appears a struggled ensued with Sierra attempting to wrestle a gun from his attackers. It discharged, striking Vargas [Serbu’s brother] in the abdomen. He died a short time later from his wounds.
The bodies of both were found near Goodlette-Frank Rd on July 7 last year after locals reported hearing the sound of gunshots.
While Serbu’s daughter had pleaded with her to take the matter to police, court documents say they have evidence she repeatedly discussed murdering Sierra with friends and family.
Serbu was served with an arrest warrant on 25 August and charged with second-degree murder and must face Collier County Court.”
“Joined by her 29-year-old brother John Vargas — who was intellectually disabled — Serbu left to pick up Sierra, bringing a pair of guns, two stun guns, a potato to use as a silencer, an ice pick, plastic gloves and paper towels with her.”
Sad. Prosecutor will pack the jury with ethnic minorities....and MOM WILL BE ACQITTED!
This boy didn’t need to die, if only his family had taught him morals!!!! He’d be alive today.
