she was my friend too. i went to the funeral last night.
god im so pissed. that brittany girl should rot in jail.
I am so sad to hear about this...I didnt know her and just saw this on the news this morning about the sentencing. I live in the neighborhood so it hits hard to know that someone that was so close has died so quickly. i feel for her and her family and send my prayers to her family.
I am sorry about your loss please send my regards to the family.
BTW I was one of the Jury members that found Schuetz Guilty of murder

How quick one all the sudden finds God, and a reason to admit they have a drinking problem. As all counselors who hold an educcation would name this as a DISEASE. Regardless, it really is a shame!
