Wait what?

Chick: "Hey guys, I was assaulted by some dude, he lives at X place and is at home Y hours, end him."

Guys: "Alright"

[Random dude is shot to death in his home]

Chick: "BUT I AM A VICTIM"

In what world would that defense have any sort of merit? I hope they throw the book at her.

She got 15 years.

She invoked The Phantom of Just Some Guy.

Sleeth told three of her teenage friends that she had been sexually assaulted by Payne.

and he was going to get away with it too, if not for these meddling kids.

Sleeth then drove her friends over to Payne's house on Dollison Avenue at about 9:30 p.m. on that February night, according to prosecutors.

they had an elaborate plan to dispose of the phantom, bringing guns and, presumably, scooby snacks

Prosecutors say the three teens broke into Payne's home, and two of them shot Payne to death while Sleeth waited in a car outside.

but the police had issue with this, they are not sure this man WAS the phantom.

Greene County Assistant Prosecutor Philip Fuhrman, on the other hand, said in his closing arguments Sleeth went beyond simply confiding in her friends when she drove them to Payne's residence, gave one of them a gun and then pointed out Payne's room before the teens broke in and killed Payne.

Fuhrman also pointed out that Sleeth's story changed several times, and she might not have been sexually assaulted by Payne.

her lawyer says that doesn't matter - The Phantom of Just Some Guy is surely out there somewhere

Sleeth's attorney Donald Cooley warned the jurors that convicting Sleeth of murder might dissuade sexual assault victims from coming forward in the future

he says that this is not how Scooby Doo stories are supposed to end.

"She needs closure," Cooley said. "She certainly doesn't need a slap in the face for a cry in the woods."

In this case, as in so many others - The Phantom of Just Some Guy is not fully dispelled.

The question is, why were these thee young men willing to ruin their lives for her?

White knights killed for her, and a white knight prosecutor asked for half of the potential sentence.
