Vincent Signoretti testified at the hearing, according to the newspaper.
TESSA WAS FOOLISH 2 GO OUT ALONE IN AN OPEN AREA; WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BUDDY SYSTEM? YOUNG WOMEN NEED TO USE THEIR HEADS IN THIS DETERIORATING WORLD OF MORALS, ETHICS & NO RESPECT FOR A LIVING BREATHING LIFE! MORE THAN A CRY AGAIN FOR A YOUNG LOSS OF LIFE! RIP TESSA!
Indeed these are the last days. Most of us, we do not value human life..😙
Only in this country! In India no guns are allowed only the police or officials can legally obtain a weapon. This was a senseless act of stupidity! She had her whole life ahead of her, so much promise for her future that she will never see. No excuses! 😢
There is no rehab for this. Put them to death!
What is wrong with these people? Kids murdering each other for what? If its drugs blame lies with all people who enjoy recreation drug taking! Sad really sad indicment of society today!
He should have done something to stop it like call the police. 😠😠
This is a terrible story no matter how it’s told. A bright young woman killed at the hands of teenagers who haven’t had their lives fulfilled. Such an unfortunate and unnecessary tragedy. Barnard
This is way too sad.
Shameful
I hope is not a case like the central park 5, too similar.
*sigh* This is awful. :( Poor girl.
We need the Punisher’s justice.
similarities to the central park 5
Look no further then the parents Train up a child in the way he should go And when he is old he will not depart from it Well we have seen there was no training Bad company corrupts good morals We see the kid hung with the wrong people
Yet a child gets beat up big time on a school bus for wearing a “maga” hat. Bad news is bad news, yet no one is trying to understand the problem. Dividing America will have SEVERE consequences, and family’s will pay, not politicians. Parents need to grow up, teach: respect
No family should have to endure this. America’s society has deteriorated so far that this is becoming common. No wonder when you see the depravity of the federal government members, especially the president & his cult followers.
RIP beautiful angel.
And now the American justice system will be buying for blood and wanting to try this child as an adult.
So disturbing. These kids need to rot in Hell
So, let’s talk about the knife problem. Its not protected by 2A so might be easier to ban. Who is with me?
How sad! In more ways than one. The poor girl and the parents who raise such animals.
Well; is the mayor going to let suspect/suspects out without a high bail? What the hell! DeBlasio will let them out to do more harm!
Welcome to DeBlasio’s New York
What an absolutely beautiful, clean cut young lady with a wonderful future ahead of her cut short by an evil person who deserves life in prison.
black?
I wonder if drug use was a factor...............
They should be put to death nor waste tax payers money
Hey RashidaTlaib , want to take an assumption of the race of these killers too?
Well, you can see the white people are upset by this but had she been black, they would find some way to make it her fault. I wonder if the cops have the right person or is this going to be another Central Park 5 case.
Where did they find him? How long was he questioned? Did he have a lawyer present? Hard to trust NYPD in cases like this. Hell, it's hard to trust police with any case nowadays. Poor girl died for nothing. What was the reason?
Sad
Absent fathers, children having children, no role models except in gangs, poverty and you have the “killer” trio. What can be done? I feel heartbroken for her family. So needless.
3 of Them on one woman . animals
Mental health.… You can’t love it away.
The 13 yr old 'watched' the stabbing. There's a socio/psychopath personality developing..adulthood doesnt look promising😥
We need to get death penalty for these idiots, like next week I'm available!
Where are this 13-yr old's parents? Why has his lawyer allowed him to make statements to the police?
My deepest sympathy for the beautiful life stolen.
Is anyone accountable for innocent Palestinian people? Why doesn't anyone pay attention to them? It's a shame
Why isn't this considered a Hate Crime?
Israeli occupation regime has destroyed many Palestinian families
Teens that are old enough to kill in cold blood are old enough to go to trial as a adult.
Mmmmmm wonder what he looks like 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Is this because of Liberal lenient policies ? Similar to the Obama era policies that the Parkland Shooter slid through?The Criminal Quota's that said only so many students can go to jail for crimes committed. Keep a Blind Eye - to schools and districts. Turn the other way...?
Ban Knives this can’t be tolerated. We must assuredly punish knive manufacturers everywhere. How irresponsible of parents to keep knives in the home. Politicians are bought and paid for by the knives industry. GOP these are the times when you’d expect wacko liberals to wake up
Absolute failure of everything in those children's lives. Parents, school system, local support programs, adults in any capacity. A disgrace.
Brace yourself for the racist reactions in 3...2...1
lynn_matney These “kids” have been terrorizing their neighborhood. 'The ‘Little Kids’ Suspected in Tessa Majors’ Murder'
Poor girl, her smile in that pic shows she had the promise of a bright future
Where were the baby mamas for these kids? I can't ask where are the dads because I know they all pretty much skip town in this area. 🤣🤣
He should have asked for an attorney to be present
Here's a shock, usual suspects.
Sad story. Very unfortunate this young lady was killed for basically no reason. RIP young lady.
This story is sad all the way around. The life of a young woman cut short at the hands of babes not much younger than she. What does this say about our society, when 13 and 14 year old children are committing the crime of robery, let alone murder? Why do they turn to crime? 💔
She’s pretty innocent girl maybe she do it as mistake she is teenager no punishment her family should pay money for the family of th victim
She was an idiot also for walking in that park alone at that time of night! There is no privilege when it comes down to crime! Black Jew gentile all become pray!
This kind of behaviour won't happen with bad parenting and environment alone. You have to have the 'right' makeup too. When two of the 'right' makeup happen upon each other they kinda fuel each other too. No excuses though.
When is Cortez whatshername weighing in on this?
So the three of them wanted to steal from her and then one of them knife her? Unbelievable 😠
My God..what is wrong with these teenagers today...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😥😥
I'm sure they were all good boys who were going to go to college and dindu nuffin.
He’s still an accomplice to murder and an armed robbery perp! Please don’t seal this punk’s record.
They should all be tried as adults and the one that stabbed her put to death regardless of his age.
RIP amen
DeBlasio is probably “flabbergasted”
Why did she resist? Now she is dead meat. Didn't she feel what was coming to her?
Pictures of suspects please
This young girl's death is directly attributable to political correctness. We know the little animals are black but it is not mentioned anywhere.Most black communities are crime infested but it is not reported or the city administrators find excuses for this uncivilized behavior
Despicable ..and my condolences to the family..this is not suppose to happen when you send your child to school
Where the outrage in your reporting? There’s more emoting on a tweet about Thunberg. Pathetic.
Welcome to Liberal America, remember the Central Park 5 was guilty until the criminal loving Dems decided otherwise, in the face of overwhelming evidence.
That is really messed up, were they crack heads?
animals, absolutely animals
What the he!! Is wrong with kids today
Who would harm that woman? Animals that's who. Lock them up and pray the death penalty is reinstated. This pisses me off. Beautiful life robbed for what? My sincerest condolences to her family.
Wtf
I just want to know the motive?
And you should be standing on the gallows with your friend , she will be waiting for you on the other side sad
When life has no value to adults, how do you expect it to have any value to children ?
Let me guess, the killers defense will be 'she called them a racist word that so triggered them they lost all control', then bleeding heart liberals will let them off out of fear of being called racist themselves.
Lock all 3 up and never let them out! That is the prison reform we need.
Was he Muslim?
The killer suspect will definitely become a victim because he is a psychopath who needs treatment.
Better ban knives...
Disgusting.
The stabber should be tried as an adult, and jailed for the maximum time allowed under the law, not for the stabbing itself, but for the senselessness of the motivation to do it. The others involved, who could have stopped him need at least 10 years to think about it.
This is what you get when you raise a whole generation to feel like victims, that their actions won't have any consequences.
Woah
Sounds about America.
When I was 13, I was dealing with changes from puberty, not participating in a murder.
Bill deBlasio’s NYC
What’s going on with our children
Omg 💔
When will congress get off their asses to stop these senseless knife killings. Ban all knifes especially fully automatic electric knifes!
13.
Sorry To Hear, About This Poor Girl, Glad They Got The Losers, Wish The Officer Shot Him, Don't Believed In jail, For Causing Death
They learn young
Stopped and Frisked, these kids should have at 5:30pm, dark and trespassing.
Lil liar. Charge him as an adult.
Rabid black monkeys
Not unusual in other parts of the world. I saw a video of a 10 year old ISIS fighter hacking the head off a soldier with a dull blade... Common practice in other countries including Somalia. The west will one day get used to pre-teen killers.
Death penalty.
According to other reports, the 13-yo living in Grant Houses, Harlem, had a knife.
Wow.
Just another black man killing a white person. Police blacks more.
This needs to be investigated as a hate crime. First jersey city now this. God help us
