Just watched the show on ID....Mack deserves death not prison. His children will suffer more with him alive living with his lies he will tell them. Life in Prison should not lead to can get out in 25. The persons they killed can not come back in 25 years. My goodness the song she sang for him should make him kill himself whild in prison. I wish the best for the little girl and pray the grandmother will raise her without her turning out bad or messed up because of what her father did to her mother.
He claims it was self defense huh? She was half his size and did they find a weapon on her when she was laying there with her throat slit?? Nice try. This guy is a total Sh*t bag and is exactly where he deserves to be and Crystal frm South Carolina you are a moron and I wouldn't be surprised if you are getting your ass kicked by your husband because you sound like one of those morons who stays with a man like this. You dont think he deserves this sentence wow..ya his kids need a murderer to raise them I am sure he would have raised some fine children! Idiot!
I don't think he should spend the rest of his life behind bars it wasn't a random shooting or a random stabbing they were both in a bit of rage we all get that way he had just had his feel and she sould have never went to his house he does need to be punished but not that long he does have kids that need him
I am reading nothing but a lot of whining from a bunch of crybabies. This man brutally murdered his wife and he got what he deserved. I was married to an abuser and he thought he could do anything he wanted to and get away with it. I was beaten many times and he did it in front of his kids high on meth. He burned my clothes, tried to open credit cards in my name in order to use them, you name it, he did it. He even went so far as to quit his job to avoid child support. He was very prould of himself. He believed that he was hurting me, when in fact all he did was hurt his kids. Now he wonders why they won't talk to him 15 years later and can't understand why he isn't father of the year. Just like Darren Mack he thinks he was the victim. I am so fortunate to be rid of this horrible man. When he dies the hole in the ground will be huge. Suck it up men and do the right thing.
Weller didnt deserve this but he does need to leave the bench
im just curious, why are all these people making excuses for MURDER? ok the judge wanted him to pay the mother of his child and woman he was married to for 10 years alimony...so he kills her....that makes no sense . all this bs about him being pushed to the "limits" by the legal system..get outta hear thats a bunch of crap. the law is the law, and you dont brutally murder someone and try to kill a judge because you dont want to pay alimony, TOO BAD thats life. D Mack is a spoiled selfish rotten bastard that didnt want to LOSE a battle in court or dime of his 10 million dollar estate. he could have easily payed up got joint custody and MOVED ON. now he can pay the price, there is no one to blame but his own SOCIOPATHIC SELF. and anyone that makes excuses for him is just as screwed up.
Isn't this old news ??
GOOD FOR HIM...WISH I WOULD WAKE UP AND READ ABOUT MY EX WITH HER BRAINS BLOWN OUT...I WOULD NOT SHED A TEAR...I WOULD MAKE A SANDWICH AND WATCH A MOVIE...I COULD CARELESS....STUPID JUDGES SHOULD BE AWARE THERE IS CONSQUENCES TO THERE ACTIONS..
I wish that God had given the females the same upper body strength as males...The world would have been so much different than it is now...sad..I'l pray for the families...
A lot of this is due to the screwed up legal system in this country and the judges having too much power. There is not enough monitoring of judges, such as Judge Weller and the consequence is that the law leans heavily against the man and that is why doemstic violence is on the rise. It is not just a viscious cycle, it is a viscous spiral. Restraining orders are handed out even when there is no violence of threats of violence is involved and restraining orders and charges are handed down on very flimsy evidence. What happened to the Constitution of the United States of America? This country is going down the tubes fast and we are going to see a lot more cases such as Darren Mack's.
I have 5 married friends who are mentally and physically abused by their wives. 3 have been chased by their wives with knives, one was hit in the head with a a toaster leaving the house for work. All of them are much bigger than their wives. I have to back up. 2 of them are still married. Most of the abuse by their wives was mental. One was chased with his 2 year old son into a closet by his wife who was bearing a knife, She works in a hospital. You can only be pushed so far sometimes and so many women in the reverse situation,say they can't leave their husbands. What's the difference with the me. They are all much bigger than their wives and don't want to hurt them, but a person can only take so much. 2 of these women were fooling around on their husbands, so when you read about another death like this, take my comments into consideration. All 5 of my friends were the bread winners of the famiy. By the way, 2 of the wives were arrested at least for domestic violence at home.
I am happy to see this man get life in prison. He is not living in reality, does not seem to acknowledge what he's done at all. He is a dangerous Sociopath. My heart goes out to the families involved and his 10 yr old daughter. It boggles my mind that Mack admitted shooting Judge Weller but wouldn't admit it was with intent to kill. If the bullet struck him a few inches differently than it had, he may not have survived this horrendous attack. How can anyone do such a thing and then claim it wasn't with intent to kill?? He had no soul, no heart and is a very sick man. Kudos to the judge who sentenced him. I can only hope Mack will one day realize the depth of his crimes and feel the responsibility of same.. to me that would be his greatest punishment.
I would love to hear the song again that played at the sentencing. I don't even like country music but that song was fantastic! DM tried his best to shed some tears while it was being played but rubbing his eyes didn't help. He actually turned to his lawyer during the song and said "beautiful". I'm sure he knew the camera was on him. I'm so glad the sentences will run consecutively. I doubt that he will make it 36 years in prison.
JJ Mack had time to say anything he wanted, if he never mentioned something it's his fault. Mack a victim? Have you missed the year plus coverage? He admitted to butchering his wife for no stated reason and shot a judge for no staten reason. Judge Herndon reached his limit of BS and sentenced the puke to the max!!!!!
How self centered mack is . To kill the mom. many lives wrecked. Over money. A businessman goes to work and makes more money if they care about money. Con games, killing people, shooting others. Mack is selfish and self centered conman cares about none other than himself
