Sydney Powell was thought to be a kind, sensible and loving daughter… it turns out that this nineteen-year-old student was actually a killer in disguise. When Brenda Powell returned home after a shocking revelation, she had no idea that the conversation she was going to have with her daughter would end in the most violent and sadistic of ways.

What kind of psychosis enables you to answer a phone, pretend to be your mother and reassure the person on the other end that everything is fine?? Also if she really felt any remorse she would've immediately confessed instead of fabricating a whole "someone broke in!" story. I think the judicial system made the right decisions here. My condolences to the families and people affected. You can hear sounds of people sobbing during the sentencing, this is heart breaking. Edit: fixing typos.

How often do you step on your mom's toes? The implication here is that this has happened multiple times. Once a week? Twice a week? Once a day? My mother was a Saint. I never, ever stepped on her toes. I made a note of where her toes were at all times and I nimbly avoided them. It was not a major challenge. There was Sainted Mom - 6 feet away. OK, apart from the annual hug, which required its own protocols and precautions (no rib squeezing) the plan was to keep a foot and three quarters distance at all times. Some said a foot would suffice; I wanted a warning track. Not Once. Not Once did I step on her toes. I hugged her a bit too robustly on her birthday in 77, but no material damage was done and I adjusted. She was an excellent sport about it. "Well, look who's a clingy mama's boy at 20 years old". I laughed along with everyone else and lapped up the humiliation as punishment. There is no excuse for hurting your mom. Even "accidentally".

She had no psychosis, she had anger management issues and a controlling personality. I'm appalled that her family is supporting her through all of this, she certainly does not deserve it.

Which is exactly what makes this, and cases like this, so difficult to judge. She may well have been psychotic at the time she murdered her mother, then in a more lucid and terrified state, she may have subsequently attempted to stage the scene as a break in. That said, impersonating her mom on the phone? I doubt that was a decision made by a sane mind. It's a shame that two psychiatrists both agreed she was not in her right mind, but suggested very different diagnoses... Just muddies the waters even further. If she were rapid-cycling bipolar, this behavior could very well make sense - from the lying to the violence, even without an acute psychotic state - but, with two different diagnoses (one suggesting schizotypal bipolar and the other schizophrenia, if I understood correctly), which present in very different ways, it makes it difficult to trust that either of those psychiatrists had it right. Then there's the almost... Callous behavior exhibited in the court room: smiling when she's on trial for murdering her own mother, claiming she was not sane at the time..? An extremely odd expression to make, given the circumstances. Allegedly, she was being treated for her mental health at this point, so... Either way, this case is one which I, personally, would label as impossible to judge her state of mind. Whether she was schizophrenic, bipolar, simply experienced a brief state of psychosis, or none of the above, the fact remains that she lied to everyone she knew about just about everything in her life for months on end, ultimately leading to the savage murder or her own mother and her fear-induced feeble attempts at misleading investigators. She belongs in a psychiatric hospital until the point which she's been deemed mentally sound, if that ever were to occur, and then from that point onward she belongs in prison. I don't really understand why our society is so lenient with violent mentally ill offenders... At the end of the day, mental health diagnoses are largely educated guesswork (which is why we see so often mental health professionals disagreeing wildly on diagnoses of the same individual) rooted in biased and often, historically, pseudoscientific belief systems, with very little evidence that a method of diagnosing an individual has any efficacy whatsoever. Don't misunderstand me: psychiatry and psychology are not completely baseless and the existence of psychiatric disorders is provable (and genuine scientific evidence backs up just about every disorder we currently know of) but when it comes to the actual process of sitting down with another person and identifying the disorder that best matches their symptoms... That's not particularly evidence-based. If I go to a psychiatrist and tell them that I'm exhausted all the time, that I have zero motivation, that I get frustrated easily and distracted quickly, that I often don't want to get out of bed, they'll likely diagnose me with clinical depression. In reality, I have ADHD (causing distraction, motivational issues, frustration), am physically disabled (in a way that is not visible to others, causing low energy, exhaustion, persistent physical pain, and so on) and am autistic (specifically, I have PDA - Pathological Demand Avoidance). No amount of antidepressants or talk therapy will help me. Despite this, for two decades, I was repeatedly misdiagnosed as depressed and have been on practically every antidepressant under the sun, with most having little impact beyond the long list of awful side effects. The only ones that helped were ones effecting primarily norepinephrine, which, no surprise, is because they also treat ADHD. Anyway, my point here is that psychiatrists and psychologists are extraordinarily fallible. The existence of mental health disorders, for the most part, is provable with science (usually via brain scans). The existence of a specific disorder, or any disorder at all, in a single individual, is likewise provable using those methods... But they're prohibitively expensive, and in the vast majority of cases, the methods used boil down to one individual having a conversation with another and ticking the boxes on checklists for common disorders until one or more match, and then allowing their gut feeling to lead them to the first diagnosis they wish to try out, medicating, and rinse and repeat until a medication appears to work well enough. Hardly a science- or evidence-based approach, so it's extremely easy for bias, human error, deliberate or malicious manipulation, and other problems to impact the conclusion a psychiatrist or psychologist ultimately comes to.

Fr. This story kinda hits close to home since I see so many parallels in my own life. I’m also behind schedule in college, I’ve failed out of 1 college and been on academic probation more than once. I have had super low self esteem since early middle school and feel like a failure and that I’m behind my peers all the time. A bunch of other factors ended up culminating in a suicide attempt a few years ago that led to me being diagnosed with severe major depressive disorder, severe anxiety disorder, and ADHD. I remember the fear, shame, anxiety, guilt, and embarrassment I felt and still feel to this day. All that said I would NEVER think of hurting my parents like any other regular person. What happened in those situations was I faced the music and took whatever punishment I got. Then we worked together to formulate a game plan on how to get back on track. This case seems almost unfathomable. Such an insane reaction to a very fixable situation. Like when this all started she wasn’t even kicked out just on probation. Such a senseless crime.

I'm sorry, as a Psych major in college, one of the things we focused on was Schizoaffective Disorder. As soon as Adrian said that diagnosis, I turned to my boyfriend and said "oh, no, she'd be showing symptoms before this happened if that's the case. If she was having a psychotic break, she wouldn't be in the mindset to answer the phone and impersonate her mom." Then the defense said the symptoms started at age 11? No, as you said, it typically kicks in in your 20s. Schizoaffective Disorder is SO disruptive to daily life, the parents, assuming they were paying attention, would have noticed a change in personality. Guilty of at least 2nd degree murder if not 1st degree murder. No doubt in my mind.

The forensic psych evaluations differed on their diagnoses. One said Bipolar/Schizoaffective, another said Schizophrenia. Schizophrenia can appear in children, it's just rare. Teenagers are less rare. Still, it's weird that no one saw the signs until after she killed someone. She was definitely actively hiding what was going on for her, pretending everything was fine when it clearly wasn't. That probably extended to her internal life as well. It would help to know more about what her friends in college saw. They didn't seem to notice, even though there was some kind of decline, as she was doing well her first two semesters, then suddenly failing 3 out of 4 subjects. She may not have been in psychosis when she attacked her mother, but if 2 out of 3 forensic psych reports say she has a mental illness, she probably has one.

My grandfather didn’t speak to me for many years. I can’t imagine getting this worked up over grades and a suspension to where you would kill one of your parents over it! Especially since she was supposedly so close to her mom. It makes zero sense to me.

yeah--- Though... I had a similar thing when I got quite a few issues, lost 40 pounds (went from 130 to 90 lb) lost huge patches of hair all over my head, all from the stress of trying to get straight A's in college (and a hormonal issue, insomnia, eating issue and a 5 hour energy addiction). My mom in the beginning thought it was a good thing I was "doing well in school" until she actually saw me again. I think she stopped pressuring me to do well and said being healthy and eating and sleeping right. Her whole life had been "be doctor" "ur so fat" "be better" "better grades"- asian mom style but after seeing me she slowly stopped drilling in my head. I know she was still disappointed in me after the grades dropped down and I started to make friends.... but I also realized they do want to support me. me being alive mattered more even if a disappointment was a disappointment. I think at least my dad was happy for me when I got into the field I am now.

I have had super low self esteem since early middle school and feel like a failure and that I’m behind my peers all the time. A bunch of other factors ended up culminating in a suicide attempt a few years ago that led to me being diagnosed with severe major depressive disorder, severe anxiety disorder, and ADHD. I remember the fear, shame, anxiety, guilt, and embarrassment I felt and still feel to this day. All that said I would NEVER think of hurting my parents like any other regular person. What happened in those situations was I faced the music and took whatever punishment I got. Then we worked together to formulate a game plan on how to get back on track. This case seems almost unfathomable. Such an insane reaction to a very fixable situation. Like when this all started she wasn’t even kicked out just on probation. Such a senseless crime.

Loved the title on this one! Teenage/child killers are the most terrifying of all. Such a deep level of manipulation and lack of empathy, at such a young age, just gives me chills. You can see the light in Brenda by her big beautiful smile, and the sparkle in her eyes. And it's just heart-wrenching that someone snuffed all of that life out. Peace to the family.

Interesting, because for me it's exactly the opposite: it's easy to understand why a child would commit a crime (children are extremely cruel, they don't have fully matured brains, they don't know how to regulate their feelings, and don't fully realize the consequences of their actions, the idea that children are innocent angels is bs, they learn empathy and love, or hate and distruction for others, from people around them, they are not born like this). I can't say the same about adults who commit crimes, there are no excuses for them, they should be able to understand why it's wrong to hurt people.

I personally feel that this girl was ill and that she was not in her right state of mind. And it is upsetting that she had stated that she had issues at the age of eleven and that was discarded because it was rare. People can hide mental health issues for years from everyone and even at a young age. This is a very sad story for the whole family.

If her flat mate didn't notice anything wrong with her, then there wasn't anything wrong, at least not the level of mental health problem that could excuse her actions. Add to that the fact that she tried to impersonate her mother on the phone, that would not tie in with a psychotic break or other mental ill health. I think she is someone that sailed through life with no difficulties and when she suddenly had such huge difficulties she simply flipped.

This sounds like a privileged child who has never been told no in her entire life, has a "best friend" instead of a mother and had Daddy wrapped around her finger. She had been praised for every breath she took her entire life and simply couldn't handle being called out on her behavior. The very fact that her family was like "we shouldn't be holding her responsible for her actions. She only killed her mother and none of us care about it, so you should let this drop." Paints the picture very clearly. Besides, crazy people who don't know they did anything wrong do not try to cover their tracks. Seeing her smiling and laughing during the proceedings shows she truly believed that she was going to get away with it.

Usually the confrontational conversation that follows in these kinds of cases where the parents find out their child lied to such an extent is the moment the crime happens - to avoid the family finding out. But here they already both knew and her conversation with her father even went pretty fine and ended on a hopeful note. Just sad and so unfortunate

By attempting to cover her crimes that immediately negates an insanity defense. If someone commits a crime out of psychosis they don’t have control of their actions, and DO NOT have the wherewithal to try to cover up their crimes. The family has NO SAY in whether she should be prosecuted, she didn’t steal money or go joy riding in her parents car… she committed a viscous attack on her mother and the states roll is to get JUSTICE for the victim, and get her of the street so she doesn’t go postal again and commit these heinous acts on other people. She stabbed her mother like 40 times… I forget exactly and that is RAGE. Terrifying RAGE!

Judging by how scared she was of telling her parents that she failed in her studies, goes to show how overbearing some parents can be. The pressure & rage her parents put on her had her so anxious and ashamed that she lived solitary in a motel for months instead of just going home or choosing a different path in school or work. ANYBODY and i mean ANYBODY is capable of anything given the right circumstances. This was a clear case of a psychotic break under pressure. She had had no other motive or anything to gain by this spur of the moment incident. ... Even her entire family is willing to forgive her, but to appease the "Lynch Mob" of irrelevant/ignorant unsympathetic witch hunters like the judicial system, law enforcement, media, and true crime fanatics... She must BURN AT THE STAKE! They think that she must be imprisoned by our commercialized prison system. Because apparently there's nothing wrong with exploitation of tragedy with corrupt rackets that profit off the incarceration of the condemned. ... All these people incapable of empathy for those who have made mistakes, have the same psychopathic tendencies of the people they judge so loudly. They should hope that if they find themselves in this similar situation one day, that the judge and jury will be more understanding and forgiving than themselves.

Her family is rationalizing her act of killing her own mother, perhaps shielding her from accountability since her upbringing may not have instilled accountability for her actions. During her sentencing, she showed no tears, indicating sadness solely for receiving the sentence. While she might experience remorse or suffer from anxiety or depression now, neither justifies the cold-blooded act of murder.
