Girl, 19, who narrated the horrifying beating and torture of a disabled man on Facebook Live AVOIDS JAIL in case that shocked the nation

-Brittany Covington, 19, was sentenced to four years probation Friday in Chicago
-She narrated video of disabled white man being racially taunted and abused
-Victim was bound, beaten and made to drink from toilet as tormentors laughed
-Plea deal makes Covington the first of four defendants to be sentenced in case


In Brittany Covington's plea deal, prosecutors dropped a kidnapping charge and others in exchange for her pleading guilty to committing a hate crime, aggravated battery and intimidation.

The judge ordered her to not use social media for four years. She also must perform 200 hours of community service.


Chicago is trash.

Why shouldn't they? Oh no, she can't use Facebook/twitter for 4 years and has to community service for 2-3 months tops. Even a plea deal should've gotten her SOME jail time.

Even a plea deal should have seen some jail time - it doesn't mean you just get a slap on the wrist and told "you are very naughty"

So, if she uses social media, does that violate her probation and what would the consequences be for that?

Cause if so, she's going to violate that pretty easily and quickly.

Fucking shame. Hopefully she violates probation and gets locked up.

Why would you want her to commit another crime?

They tend to go easy on you when you plead guilty.
It's why people plead guilty.

Thanks for confirming you're a troll. Jesus Christ.

So is that a yes, all she did was narrate or is that no, she did more than narrate?

The reasons are entirely emotional.
I'm not a big fan of the court of public opinion, good luck to her (yeah I remember the video, maybe she's changed, who knows).

I mean, people tend to get emotional about torturing a disabled person. People being outraged she gets off with a light slap on the wrist is to be expected.

Yeah I totally understand being pissed off about the zero jail time, but wishing for someone to fail their second chance is really sad. As much as many of us criticize our prison systems in the US, I would think this would be a good chance to turn her life around. I hope she succeeds.

I'm not denying that, but literally wishing her to commit another crime...that's petty.


It's petty for me to wish her to violate her probation by using Facebook?

You know what? I'll wear that title. Call me Tom Petty if you'd like.

She is human garbage and I guarantee had the races been reversed, you and KState would be singing different tunes.


So you're saying... you won't back down.

LOL. What does her race have to do with me hoping she doesn't commit another crime? Why would I want the courts to have to deal with a person multiple times because they can't get it right? I want her to use this opportunity to get the fuck out of that environment and make something of herself. The fact that we have people like yourself who already hopes she fails again is the reason people don't get any better.
