During the trial, Geyser apologized to Leutner, and her family. “I never meant for it to happen,” she said, “and I hope she’s doing well.”
Of course, this is an emotionally-charged case that involves children—both victims and perpetrators. Reaction on Twitter to Geyser’s severe sentencing has been very mixed.
so very sad. From what the court case has indicated, I honestly feel bad for her, and hope that with proper treatment she can live something of a stable life

She’s a friggin KID. Like yeah, what she did was wrong, but she doesn’t deserve to be locked up and the key thrown away

Ridiculous. The US has very little respect for the rights of children.
