My truck broke down across the street from some house once. The woman inside the house came out and yelled at me for half an hour to move my car, called me a criminal and accused me of trying to break into her house and then she called the cops on me. Some people are just unhinged sociopaths.

This type of guy exists in every town. Scared of everything, angry at his life, itching to shoot someone. Stay safe out there people

He’s been convicted of murder and he still doesn’t think he did anything wrong. What a monster.

Well, he'll never have to worry about a stranger driving down his driveway ever again.

Guy was just looking to kill someone. He's a sociopath who belongs in prison for life.

Dude acted like he was living in the wild west. If that were the case, he'd already be hung.

This defendant is a coward of the worst sort. The judge nailed it when he said: "You just don't get it."

I can remember getting lost one day driving through a rural area as a teenager. I turned down a long dirt driveway hoping there would be an area I could turn around at. There wasn't and I pulled up to a house and thought, "oh no, I don't want to be here." A few seconds later an angry dude came storming out of his house asking me what I was doing there. You know what he did next? It wasn't pulling out a gun and immediately opening fire. He showed me a place to turn around and guided me out. The defendant clearly was looking for an excuse to shoot somebody. This also shows how sick our society has become.

Lifetime gun owner and federal wildlife officer here. Owning and using a firearm is a responsibility. This coward failed at every opportunity. Should definitely be locked up, and lots of people should take notice.

Everyone uses driveways to turn around, guarantee the old guy has used someone’s driveway to turn

If he's so territorial then why didn't he put a gate at the end of his driveway? He was looking for an excuse to shoot someone!

That guy watched too much cable news and believes everyone is coming to get him

This judge said what needed to be said. Hopefully this clown never gets out of prison.

Absolutely horrible! Instead of telling the girls, "sorry wrong house..be safe" he shoots and kills her over a completely honest mistake. Infuriating!

Had someone pull a shotgun on me because our dog ran into their front yard. This can happen to you, people are insane.

This is the kind of person that shouldn't have had a gun in the first place.

25 years to life? His life is over. He had a nice home. He’ll never live there again.

You know it was deliberate by his attitude. Any normal person would have been freaking out, crying, apologizing. But i guess a normal person would not start shooting at random kids.

The fact that he does not understand why he deserves a prison term is the precise reason he deserves a prison term.

Can you imagine if everyone ran outside and started shooting every time someone accidentally entered the wrong driveway or used a driveway to turn around? Omg, most of us would be dead or recovering from gunshot wounds.

He doesn’t even seem to take it seriously after he’s sentenced. I swear he smirked when talking to his lawyer. No emotional response.

The judge was totally correct in all of the points he made. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve turned around in a driveway without a second thought. I’ll be thinking twice in the future!!

Can you imagine how nervous his pizza delivery guy used to be?

I am a rideshare driver, and I am directed to the wrong driveway daily. I have had very angry people come out and asked me what I want. There have been some very tense situations and people need to relax and chill a little bit, before they decide to pull a weapon out.

If he did not want people driving into his driveway, he could've put up a chain with a sign, do not enter, he wanted to shoot someone, he had a trap in his driveway

this is the stupidest way to lose your freedom. lawd

All he had to do was simply come out and approach her to ask the words, briefly, of "What are you doing here?" or "I think there's some sort of mistake", guided her correctly to which street her driveway was on and let both have an uneventful rest of the night. Instead, he chose to do the worst possible thing imaginable to all of them for no reason. Compliments to the judge in full for showing no mercy on him.

That poor little girl that was killed...what a threat she was...what happened to the obligation to protect your neighbors, too?

Guess he won't be having to worry about his driveway any more...the guy is totally indifferent to his actions...so dangerous

When it becomes unsafe to turn around upon making a wrong turn we’ve lost our ability to live in a society where we are not constantly afraid. This was intentional, and sickening. There simply is no excuse for his actions, or her death. I have no sympathy for the offender, but have the utmost sympathy for the victim, her family, and friends.

Sad and heartbreaking for that young girls family......this was NOT a stand your ground as she was NOT a threat😢

About a year ago, there was a minor accident in front of my house. The road is moderately busy and school was letting out of the high school about a half mile down the road. So, to avoid impeding traffic, the cars pulled into my longish, two-car-wide driveway to exchange information and such. I came out of my house to make sure they didn't need anything. They see me and started saying, "I'm so sorry, we'll leave!" I was like, "I'm just making sure no one is hurt. You're fine!" Seeing that one of the cars had a kindergarten-ish-aged passenger that the mother was trying to keep occupied during the long process, I brought out my kids and some sidewalk chalk to play with her. The people acted like I was uncommonly nice and I didn't get it. Apparently, not everyone does that kind of stuff...

Proud of this judge.

Why can’t we get this judge instead of Cannon

I can’t even imagine her family’s anger? I will keep them in my heart and prayers. This judge leveled him with his words!

the $375 in surcharges and fees is the real life changer

Hia neighbors told the investigating detectives that he was known in the area as having a very short fuse, and was insanely angry if anyone even turned around at the far end of his very long driveway. These young people, drove up a ways, saw it was the wrong hous and had turned around when he shot at them FROM BEHIND

Smart judge. Dumb killer. It's no surprise that the judge wins this round.

I have a neighbor that’s very hostile to most people being anywhere near his property so he’s the reason I would avoid using anyone’s driveway to turnaround. This situation is just so messed up

My friend's car broke down in front of this guy's house. He called his dad for help and we had the hood up so he could check the fluids and maybe figure out what the problem was. The guy came out of his house yelling about how we needed to get back into the car and leave. Was the longest 20 minutes waiting for his dad to come tow the car. All while the guy yelled about calling the cops and that we needed to get away from his property or else. Some people are just nuts. A considerate person would have asked if we needed help. Not this guy, how dare we end up parked along side the road in front of his house.

Wow, zero remorse whatsoever

There are a lot of people like this out there. One example is the "loud music trial" in Florida. Another recent one is Hannah in Georgia, who pursued and stopped someone, and then murdered him over a traffic infraction. It's really frightening.

This guy was scared in his own house ,he's going to hate Prison!!

I was a gun owner, years ago in my early twenties. Looking back there was a couple times I can remember where I realize I did not have proper respect for the power of a weapon. Guns are a right here in the US, but if one does not accept their power responsibily then that person is a fool (case in point). This person let ego destroy all his past work and future dreams. Far worse, he destroyed all of Kaylin’s hopes and dreams, with those of all who know and love her. In an act of sheer stupidity, he pulled that trigger and in a few hundredths of a second wasted 70 years of her life. By all means own a gun if you like, it’s your right, but RESPECT it and LEARN to be a RESPONSIBLE gun owner!

Shoot someone for driving up your driveway??!!!! Hell no sicko!!

For someone who has just received 25years to life he looks unaffected

This judge really let him have it. His disgust with the defendant's lack of remorse was clearly felt, and he outlined the reasons eloquently. Say goodbye to EVER owning a gun again, Mr. Executioner.

I quit doing Amazon flex because of cases like this. When you have to use your personal vehicle, people don’t believe you’re bringing them their packages. I had too many scary encounters and felt like it was only a matter of time before someone _really_ overreacted

The way this murderer thinks his property gives him any reason to destroy lives, is disgusting, cruel & self entilted. Maybe he could have asked why they were in his driveway.

This monster should never be out in public.

I do giggle work on the side. Every night I’m walking up to houses, up driveways, pulling down side and private roads… and quite often I need to check a few residences before I find the right one. I live and mostly work in the city, and if there’s anyone I’m worried about in the city at night, it’s people like that guy.

YES absolutely could tell after he paused about the consecutive sentence. Outstanding explanation as to the complete sentencing from a judge!!!

His attitude sickens me

I appreciate this Judge’s words. This America has turned upside down and so tense since 2016. People need to take a breath, stand back and reevaluate the situation. This killer is evil. Thank god this jury and judge saw exactly what he is…a killer.

This judge is outstanding. I was so moved by what he said and how he very clearly didn’t mince words.

Prime example of letting your emotions make you state property.

I wish we could have seen the look on his face when the judge was reading him for filth.

I turned around in a driveway today, and felt differently than i did in the old days doing the same thing. It's another world.

A lot of people talking about how this man must be afraid of his own shadow... I disagree. This man doesn't have the emotional capacity to feel fear. I've known people like this. He's lived his whole life wishing he could have the experience of killing someone, but knowing he'd never get away with it. He thought he saw his chance to have that experience and get away with it, so he took it. Simple as that. He wasn't acting out of fear for his life, he was acting out of premeditated malice presented with an unexpected opportunity to express itself.

Lived in the country my whole life. We helped people when they got lost or turned around in the wrong driveway. It was simple.

That old man thinks hes going to do motocross in the future?

Never see the light of day, JUSTICE SERVED

This fool thought he was going to get away with Murder? Strong move !

I hate how it’s impossible to make a sociopath feel any remorse, in his head he probably still thinks he was in the right. Luckily for the rest of society he’s really bad at hiding his sociopathy in court, he made no attempts to feign remorse.

Was this the guy that shot the young woman who was lost and turning around? No empathy. They, crazy folks, are so emboldened by the ugliness in the country.shame on him.

This guy doesn’t seem to be affected by any of this. Truly the face of evil

If he was so worried why didn't he put a gate up.. ?.????

John H. Bryan, Esq.: "Our freedoms do not end where your fears begin. Freedom is scary. Deal with it."

It gives me hope that here in America, there are honest judges that stand up for justice. God Bless this judge for doing the right thing.

Who in their life has never went a wrong way or just got lost this whole situation is scary you never know what kind of nut job you can run into.

Well spoken , level headed judge delivering closure to the victims relatives. This is justice

crazy he thinks its a joke for now

We need more judges like him in NY.

These guys are everywhere. Be safe ppl.

I’m really glad that judge acknowledged the extra pain that came from this guy just lying over and over.

Outrageous behavior. I wouldn't even get out of my chair if someone turned around in my driveway.

He probably thinking he can win an appeal.

He seems like the type that was just waiting for someone to drive up that road so he could use his gun. For the cost of a good gun you could literally put up a simple gate or fence and a big sign. There could be 101 reasons why anyone would drive up that road…including delivery services, utility workers, insurance adjusters, law enforcement and lost drivers. It’s up to the land owners to have fences, cattle guards, gates etc.

I 100% concur with the judge that Monahan"s overall demeanor and lack of remorse pose a future risk that he could easily repeat this again without a second thought.

the heck is he going to appeal? zero merits. bye.

i went to the wrong address in an attempt to pick up a fare years ago. someone came outside in full Stand Ground pose, fists clenched, t shirt tucked in, looking more or less like a member in the service and the most serious and determined look on his face. i asked if someone needed a ride and he told me to leave. i asked if the address i was sent to was this place and he just pointed to the road and said "there". i apologized and he just stood there in that pose...very chilling encounter especially in a very small rural town.

Simply put, he lied because he knew he was wrong...

Zero remorse. It's all about HIM. Typical of that element. Having lost a loved one (my 21-year-old youngest brother) to murder, and being denied any sort of trial or justice, I'm at least thankful that justice was served in this tragedy. If Kaylin's loved ones are reading this, I just want you to know you've got a long road ahead, but the day will come, and sooner than you realize, where you'll be at peace. The day will come where you think of her life and the circumstances of her passing will be no more than an afterthought. Being served justice will allow you to overcome your grief and have closure. The person who took our Nick from us still breathes free air and that was something very difficult to accept. Nick left behind doting parents, a sister, and five older brothers in addition to friends and relatives. You'll have days where you won't be able to wrap your head around it all, but always remember there's _someone_ to turn to. Do not be afraid to lean on loved ones for support. Don't be stupid like I was and bottle it up because you don't want to burden friends and family. They're there for you... willing and ready. It's not a journey you can make alone. I wish you all the best.

So sorry for the family and loved ones .This has affected me also getting lost recently. I kept telling my mom we will not turn around in any driveway we went on further down the road .Until we came to a business and turned there.

Justice Served.

I'm schizophrenic, if I hurt someone while suffering a psychosis, even an animal, I would just call it a night out of shame. The last thing I'd ever want is to let my illness do harm to others than me, and I take every precaution to avoid it. And then people like this exist, fully healthy (except maybe a huge ego), and just want to end people for fun. It's revolting.

For those who don’t know, 25-to-life is life in prison, with the possibility of being paroled after serving a minimum of 25 years. In other words, he’ll die in prison.

Great judge & jury, so glad he will spend his last days in prison. My heart hurts for those parents & friends of that beautiful girl who was murderer for doing a u-turn in his driveway. Judge was so right he has no remorse for what he did & still thinks it was ok what he did. I hope they get him in prison

What a great judge ❤

Couldn't be content with just shouting "get off my lawn", had to live out his fantasy of shooting an intruder.

His emotionless reaction to what the judge is saying tells you everything you need to know, he’s a sociopath.

He still remains without any remorse 🙄🤨🤡

Its amazing how many people think this man was in the right unbelievable

I deliver for uber and all i think about when driving up a driveway is that i hope it's the right one, that i hope the person who ordered the food isn't sketchy, etc. occurrences like this is why. What could possibly be threatening about a young girl doing absolutely nothing except being in a car in a driveway trying to exit?

People like this man live EVERYWHERE

Who shoots someone in their driveway🤦🏽‍♂️

Dude looks like Burgess Meredith playing a bad guy. (Gotta be old to remember, but think Penguin... for starters.) 😂

These are the people and attitudes FOX and OAN breeds.

As someone who heard about this trial and vaguely followed it from a distance I am VERY glad that this man was found guilty and sentenced harshly. Whatever happened to ASKING someone why they were in your driveway? My god, what is wrong with people?

This is crazy. People have pulled in my drive way often. The first thing I do is observe what they’re doing. After they complete the u turn I continue with my day as they go about their way. That simple. Look at how innocent this young lady looks. I’m furious!!! Could have been 1 of my daughters. Coward! Afraid of the world. You’ll receive true justice in your final resting place. God bless the victims’ families and Kaylin Gillis’ soul ❤
