WTF.
this makes my skin crawl:
"I strangled them and slit their throat and stabbed them now they're dead," Bustamante wrote in her diary, which was read in court by a handwriting expert. "I don't know how to feel atm. It was ahmazing. As soon as you get over the 'ohmygawd I can't do this' feeling, it's pretty enjoyable. I'm kinda nervous and shaky though right now. Kay, I gotta go to church now...lol."

I don't know - the article said she went to church afterwards...
so bizarre..very sad..very bizarre.
The article says that her father was incarcerated and her mother abandoned her. She was living with her grandmother. Sounds like no one was close enough or cared enough to notice. On the one hand, her actions sound textbook sociopathic. On the other hand, the fact that they had her on a high dose of anti-depressants and that they had adjusted her dose right before the crime is concerning. Anti-depressants have very different side effects in someone as young as 15. The mind is so complex and mental illness is so difficult to diagnose and treat. That being said, I'm certainly not disappointed that she received the sentence she received.
