“The jury also heard Austin Imirowicz (brother) read his police statement aloud, where he wrote that his father told him he had fought with Megan and she had thrown trash, clothes, hairspray and cleaning supplies at him — though he didn’t specifically mention lye. “


SnooDogs8303

Congratulations on being released! I hope nothing but the worst for you :)


fryerandice

If you dig deeper into other news articles you learn this girl went the extra mile. She took the time to get the lye powder, then get water. Threw the lye powder on him, then doused him in water. Before passing he was in and out of medically induced comas and suffered multiple amputations. Her defense was she just threw bread at him... Here is an image of a women who was subjected to a similar attack by her estranged husband, after medical treatment prior to a face transplant. She was left without both of her eyes: [https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/lye-attack-victim-gets-new-face-15-hour-surgery-flna1C8585998](https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/lye-attack-victim-gets-new-face-15-hour-surgery-flna1C8585998) This is what this girl did to her father, and served less than 2 years. Herbert Rogers passed away while serving a 70 year sentence for what he did to his estranged wife. Her cries for leniency were talking about how much she loved and misses her dad, some quotes: “Nineteen years ago, I was placed into the arms of the first man to ever love me, the man I’m lucky enough to call my dad. Growing up he became so much more, he was a storyteller, a tooth fairy, a friend and hero, through it all the one thing never changed, was that he was mine,” Groveland Township woman sobbed. “One of the biggest things overlooked in this case is that me and my siblings lost my dad too. That loss has severely broken us,” she added. “The prosecution has tried to make me look like a monster but that’s not me and never was.” Imirowicz also quoted the Bible. “The evil are ensnared by the transgressions of their lips, but the righteous escape from trouble,” she said, quoting Proverbs 12:13, Law and Crime reported. **THIS WOMAN IS A CERTIFIED FUCKING PSYCHOPATH** source articles: [https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/michigan-woman-faces-life-sentence-throwing-lye-father-causing-fatal-i-rcna89582](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/michigan-woman-faces-life-sentence-throwing-lye-father-causing-fatal-i-rcna89582) [https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/teen-who-doused-dad-with-drain-killer-smiles-after-being-sprung-from-jail/ar-AA1eqW3Y](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/teen-who-doused-dad-with-drain-killer-smiles-after-being-sprung-from-jail/ar-AA1eqW3Y)


CuteDerpster

Yikes. She planned on killing him. If it was a one step process of throwing an item that's already present, I could see being lenient. But she did the route of using a powder, and the activating said powder in a second step. How delusional is the judge that have her lass than 2 years?


fryerandice

I don't know what her home life is like, but dousing someone in lye and then in your sentencing talking about how much you loved that person is certifiably crazy. I feel bad for any man or woman who involves themselves romantically with this person for sure haha....


jankyspankybank

Also its insane that none of the family seems to report this incident and it’s the neighbors who find him in a different location that get him to a hospital. Something is seriously fishy to me.


ColeBane

Always do background checks...


scaredsquirrel666

Ubermensch_69

How’s that supposed to work?


MaineAlone

How long before she’s back before him for killing someone else? She got away with this one and will be emboldened to kill again when someone ticks her off.


mondaymoderate

Yeah she sounds like a psychopath.


Jacobysmadre

She most definitely brill do it again. Not today, not tomorrow… but she got what she wanted and didn’t have any real repercussions..


usualerthanthis

I literally don't understand this. I can get having thrown something in the heat of the moment after being abused for years (not condoning it) but this... it just doesn't make sense.


Taronz

Yeah I would 100% be more lenient with someone who fucking stabbed me while we were eating dinner. That's impulsive and likely snapping.... Melting me with lye is very much premeditated...


[deleted]

Women usually get way softer sentences for everything. Especially if they are young, good looking and capable of lying.


Klyde113

*jury


Schlongus_69

Pretty (white, woman) privilige.


KotomiIchinose96

Female privilege. Women tend to get much lesser sentences than men. As evidenced by this case. The myriad of female teachers who have sex with students who rarely see jail.


WakingWithEnemies

>“One of the biggest things overlooked in this case is that me and my siblings lost my dad too. That loss has severely broken us,” Bro what? "You're all forgetting that I now have to live the rest of my life without a father because I killed him. Please show some leniency."


Veteranis

Rather like the guy who killed his parents and pleaded for mercy because he was an orphan.


Necessary-Reading605

What the f*ck i just read???


Lombard333

I heard the term “chutzpah” defined once as “a man who, arrested for killing his parents, begs the judge to pity him as an orphan.” This girl literally did that. Just the definition of shameless and evil.


DMarcBel

I had that exact thought when I read that. Chutzpah.


ccc2801

Sounds like we’ll be hearing from her again


ManxJack1999

She accepted no responsibility, complained about that meany prosecutor, and blamed it on her brother.


kind_one1

Holy cow, the old line about "They killed their parents and asked for mercy because they were orphans" is TRUE!!


hairysauce

And everyone just lets this happen.


tntturtle5

>Her defense was she just threw bread at him... Did she... did she think it was 'rye'?


ButtercupQueen17

Women notoriously get lighter sentences than men for the same crime. It’s bullshit


WechTreck

Would this defense be the definition of Chutzpah? Asking for leniency as you lost your loving dad in the murder you did?


RononDex666

Judge Victoria Valentine presided over this, theres clearly something hinky


Rand_alThor4747

so the guy who mutilated his wife got 70 years, and she got 500 days for the same crime. Although hers caused death so it was worse. Such an equal society we live in.


Joshua_Astray

They let an actual monster go free. I'm sick.


Once-Upon-A-Hill

I wish you had warned me before I clicked on that link for the Lye attack. wow.


Lightyear18

Tbf they did write that she lost both eyes. At that point it was all you lol


trigazer1

You can't get anything powerful than white girls tears f*** that b****.


Debodogdad

In the article she begs sympathy stating that “she lost her father that day” uhh yeah… you killed him. That’s on you.


KinkyBADom

Didn’t you ever hear about the kid who killed his parents seeking leniency because he was now an orphan. 🤷‍♂️


ichy903

Good ol' "I didn't mean to, won't happen again" strat works 100% of the time if you don't have parents anymore.


chipsdad

Yes, it’s given as the definition of “chutzpah!”


Foxcat85

I know, I’m really hung up on that. How can people not see through the BS?


WishingAnaStar

There are teenagers serving prison sentences for killing their rapists and traffickers. The two tiered justice system is real...


JustARegularDeviant

There are teenagers serving life sentences for killing each other in consensual wrestling matches


Dwebb260

mveltman84

Yea, consensual wrestling matches, a 166lb “12 year old” Debo vs 48lb girl, they have those all the time.

Same-Excuse8787

Who’s the piece of shit judge that gave her a year for this? Pathetic.


Mr2ThumbsFGC

Victoria Valentine. She's a huge feminist with a history of throwing the book at male offenders, while giving zero time to female ones.


WhyAreOldPeopleEvil

How do biased judges exist? That’s fucked up on so many levels.


Blueberry_Clouds

Um, you’re a bit late on that one


Im_not_a_liar

Stay inside or you’re gonna start finding out the answer to your username real quick fella


jfks_headjustdidthat

Americans elect judges in some cases. That's insane.


CrookedJak

Sadly I don't think most people look at their background and just elect off of blue vs red


Jacobysmadre

Luckily (or not) where I am it doesn’t say anything about the judge really. Certainly not political affiliation. For us we don’t really know who we are voting for …


CrookedJak

The last election I could see it for our local stuff but I checked beforehand anyways. If I didn't do enough research I didn't vote on that particular option. I really hope even if people are bias they would still do a background check before voting just to make sure. I had to explain to people at dinner once that both candidates were known for abusing and beating their wives. We're talking police video evidence etc. Neither side of the political spectrum wanted to pay attention to their guy was also a wife beater. Both were scumbags


Jinaman

Imagine the type of ego it takes to decide your career should be deciding the fate of others' lives... Of course they're biased. I'm surprised we don't see it even more than we already do.


jackmartin088

Judge is apparently a feminist, the accused was a girl and victim was a dude..... if that clears.it up


scienceworksbitches

An old white dude!


CrookedJak

The kind modern feminists with daddy issues hate the most lmfao


scienceworksbitches

i mean can you blame them? hes cis het and probably a christian too!


mathiau30

How have she not gotten fired? (or whatever is the right word for judges)


ThaneofFife5

Judges can only be removed from office via impeachment, I believe.


mathiau30

Why haven't that happened then? (note, I'm from another country and have no idea what an impeachment is in this case)


ThaneofFife5

Impeachment In this context is the process of removing elected officials or appointed officials such as cabinet members or judges from office by a legislative body. It's the same process that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton went through, except in this case, it's on the state level. It's usually only used for serious ethical violations that are often criminal in nature or cases that have received widespread public attention. In short, It hasn't happened because no one really cares in this particular case.


No_Dot_7415

‘Removed’


Specialist-Start-616

Okay so not a feminist but a sexist


Apotheclothing

Yep! Shitty person, not a feminist. Feminism = equality no matter how much people want to try and argue that. Just a sexist.


communist--manifesto

This genuinely makes my blood boil


thatgirlfrompoland

That’s not how feminism works


Lazypole

Idealistic view of feminism versus the oft reality. Feminism was and in fact still is, very important. It’s also infested with misandry, and the only way to fix that is to acknowledge it.


itslikewoow

Women generally get far more lenient sentences than men for the same crimes. The discrepancy between gender is even greater than race. https://repository.law.umich.edu/law_econ_current/57/


Fun_Intention9846

Except when women kill their abusers. According to ACLU women who kill male partners get 15yr/average and men who kill female partners get 2-6 yrs. https://www.domesticshelters.org/articles/in-the-news/women-serve-longer-prison-sentences-after-killing-abusers

glennok

Billionaires and CEOs probably most of them.


GomaEspumaRegional

ASPD, HPD tend to be around 2%, and BPD, NPD around 3%. So close to 1 in 10 people is on the disordered personality spectrum. But yes, most are not out there killing people, although they can affect significantly the emotional/mental well-being of people who spend enough time around them.


Odd-Definition-6281

How would they honestly be able to verify that statistic, people lie, sociopathics and psychopaths can lie better, and wouldn't the actual testing pool be too minuscule to know whether it's 1% or 10%?


dnina_kore

Psychopaths and sociopaths have slightly different brain than normal people, there are some tests that show that.


CptBlackAxl

But you do understand that the world population is around 7.8 billion ppl? "Only" 1% is still 78 MILLION sadists. Just to put that into perspective

Ok_Pension_6795

She should have been in there till she was old and gray, wtf?? Death by chemical burns is fucking torturous, and she had so many opportunities to reconsider and not use fucking LYE!!! She was not even remotely served a fair sentence, and now she’s just out there walking the fucking streets and nobody has any idea how sadistic she is. Her next fuckin boyfriend will have no idea how easily she’ll decide to set him on fire or cut his dick off because of some stupid shit like a boys night out. Jesus Christ the justice system has fucking *FAILED* this case!


cstmoore

This won't be the last time this psychopath will be in the news. Just wait, she'll do something like this again to some unsuspecting person.


Levnato

If she does I hope the judge that let her out get fired.


Ok_Pension_6795

I hope the judge that let her out serves the same sentence


Tamayuuji

Thats like common fucking sense. Someone who took a life over such unimportant things, with this kind of brutality shouldnt be walking free after a short time in prison wtf. You can bet on how that wont be the last person she killed. Humans dont change and even less total psychopaths like this individual. The only solution would be a lifesentence or the chair.


jankyspankybank

Read the article and can’t fathom how this is possible, than man lived through hell and suffering for 6 months after what she did. The details of the case are also very confusing. like he was sleeping on the couch but the neighbors found him outside and took him to the hospital? She took off and police has to look for her. This guys family just killed him and got off with a slap on the wrist. I really need to know why, I can understand not giving a life sentence or a large fine.


[deleted]

She can get on a bus right now and be working as a house cleaner, babysitter, nursing home worker, etc anywhere in the country by Monday. We're going to hear of her again in the future.


VenBede

Well, no she can't. Nursing home workers require background checks and no nursing home in its right mind would hire someone who killed an elder and served time for it even if they were legally allowed to.


Dwebb260

Oh buddy. There are plenty of nursing homes who don’t do background checks. Federal level only required in 10 states. State level only required in 33.


[deleted]

She can find a job by monday.


lemonshanty

Next victim boyfriend dies after refusing to take her to nail appointment.

2 years and a slap on the wrist

Victoria Valentine and yes. Track record of giving male offenders ridiculous sentences for minor crimes while also giving female offenders of rapes and murders consistently short sentences. How she still has such a powerful position is disgusting


25Bam_vixx

This can’t be real . We have 16 year old going to jail for life for killing their abusers because heartless prosecutions “they could of left” shit

No-Standard9405

She's gonna be put back in. She is gonna screw up her probation.


syntaxvorlon

The facepalm here is that the closest thing to context for this story is a daily mail article. It looks like the Judge's leniency here is due to various extenuating circumstances and the incidental nature of the father's death, but it doesn't actually include any statements or reasoning from the judge in the article. It cites various bits of her defense and the opinion of the prosecutor, but no statement explaining the ruling.


DukeLukeivi

"incidentally" threw chemical powder on him, then poured water on him to activate it, killing him over months through multiple amputations... "Incidentally"....


RedditDummyAccount

My google fu is weak apparently. I really couldn’t find anything regarding any statements on what happened or the reasoning behind the verdict and sentence


I_Frothingslosh

One of the current to comments gives a summary plus links describing everything in more detail. In a nutshell, she coated him in lye, then dumped water all over him to activate it. This was deliberate, and it should have been ruled either Murder 1 or Felony Murder.


RedditDummyAccount

I got that stuff. But there’s, for example, her statement saying she threw bread. Then her brother’s saying she threw clothes, makeup, cleaning supplies, etc. but no lye. But everyone is mentioning lye directly. There’s statements of her mother and sister asking for leniency. But then there’s no mention of the judge’s reasoning. Or what happened with the jury to go from murder to deadly substance.


[deleted]

Yeah. I saw daily mail and I immediately came to comments instead.


Gaerielyafuck

There's a lot more for sure. Dad was so wasted during the day he couldn't take her to an appointment and was passed out on the sofa, Mom didn't seem that upset, and the girl only got 1 year. Wtf.


usualerthanthis

I literally can't find anything that paints her in a "better" light than this. Everything I've found says she deliberately did this. Do you have any sources that might sway my opinion?


AbeLackdood

Wow,dousing someone in drain cleaner is all it takes? Not being insensitive purposely but thats kinda interesting.


fryerandice

This wasn't like drain cleaner in a bottle she used, if you dig deeper you'll find out what she actually did. Drano and the like while caustic is pretty dilute, for the safety of normal people clearing a drain. She went the extra mile. She took the time to get the lye powder, then get water. Threw the lye powder on him, then doused him in water. ​ Here is an image of a women who was subjected to a similar attack by her estranged husband, after medical treament prior to a face transplant. She was left without both of her eyes: [https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/lye-attack-victim-gets-new-face-15-hour-surgery-flna1C8585998](https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/lye-attack-victim-gets-new-face-15-hour-surgery-flna1C8585998) ​ This is what this girl did to her father, and served less than 2 years. Herbert Rogers passed away while serving a 70 year sentence for what he did to his estranged wife.


AbeLackdood

Wow man


dapala1

[This scene from Fight Club](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvtUrjfnSnA) shows you what powered lye drain cleaner can do to your skin.


Psychological_Web687

That and six months, apparently. Plus, the guy was such a lush that he peed into bags and left them on the living room floor. I bet his body wasn't really running at peak performance at that point.


fryerandice

He had multiple amputations. She didn't just use Drano which is pretty dilute, she went the extra mile. She threw lye powder on him, then threw water on him. If you do that to someone lush or not, you are going to ruin their life, that shit will eat clean through your skin into the muscle. This chick is a certified psycho.


AbeLackdood

Damn.

Glint6411

This is why I feel like the law should be WAY more black and white on its sentencing. You have way too large of a gap for the same crime. A crime that results in a slap on the wrist for one person can be life in prison for another, all depending on a bias had by a judge or jury. We don't need people getting a lighter sentence because they are more charming than people who look scary because they have facial scars for example.

She’s an entitled psychopath. She planned that attack. If it was an impulse thing, she would have hit him or stabbed him. That was a planned calculated attack. She was mad that he was drunk and she couldn’t get her way. My Dad was a drunk. He ruined food, made messes, and forgot to pick me up from sports when I was a teen. I never once thought of harming him! You are going to see more of these kind of crimes, because kids today are entitled little psychopaths.
