During the hearing, the 17 year old told the judge she regretted murdering her mother.
“If I could go back, I wouldn’t do it,” Reeves said. “I do miss my mother.”
In Feb. 2017, Reeves’s mother, Jamie Garnett, 34, was found dead in their Gary home she had been stabbed 60 times. After investigations found out that Reeves who was 15 killed her mother and she (Reeves) was taken into custody.
Reports says she was charged with murder and in May pleaded guilty, accepting a plea deal,
“Your being young doesn’t impress me. You knew better. You knew better than this,” Judge Diane Boswell told Reeves yesterday. It is not clear what motivated Reeves to kill her mother.
The teen’s grandmother spoke during the hearing, saying her granddaughter had no criminal record before she killed her mother, her daughter.
“I don’t know exactly what to say,” Rosemary Cruz, asking for her granddaughter to receive some therapy.
“Something’s wrong,” Cruz said. “Something snapped. I hope she can get some type of help mentally to get through what she has done.”
