WATCH: Judge Wipes Smile Off the Face of 14-Year-Old Killer of 73-Year-Old Woman
American Tribune ^ | May 19, 2025 | Staff

Following a horrific crime, a teen murderer was sentenced to life in prison after he smirked in the courtroom and remarked how he’d “be home soon.” Reacting to his disrespect, the judge put the teen criminal back in his place with an epic comeback, which drew widespread support from online conservatives.

For context, John Honore attempted to carjack 73-year-old Linda Frickey in New Orleans on March 21, 2022. Honore attacked the female victim, pepper-sprayed her, and then dragged Frickey behind the stolen vehicle for over 200 yards, leading to her death. Ultimately, he was sentenced to life in prison with a possibility of parole in 25 years.

Starting off with a flippant response, the convicted murderer said, “I just want to tell y’all I’ll be home soon, or I’ll be keen (sic) on I love my family,” shortly before sentencing. However, the judge had other plans and sent the teenage hooligan reeling.

Slamming the disrespectful criminal, the judge said, “We’ll go to trial, and if you’re convicted of felony murder, you’ll go to prison for the rest of your life. That means you’ll die there. That’s what I’m tempted to do due to the horrifying nature of the crime.”

Under a clip of the interaction posted to X, conservatives flocked to the comments to express their anger. One such comment said, “The glorification of these types of activities is a product of Hollywood. Game theory says that Divide and Conquer is phase 1. This activity is a huge divider. We have to unite as a country now. America As One is an unstoppable force united as one! This is their fear.”

Referring to the sentencing, many users said that life in prison was an appropriate punishment for the horrific crime. One user noted, “14-year-old gets a life in prison. He’s not smirking now. Thank you Judge, for possibly saving other innocent people from being his victim.” Responding to the previous comment, a user stated, “Yes I agree. Sounds brutal to sentence a 14 yr old to life but we all know he’s not going to magically change into a Rhodes scholar. For the foreseeable future he’s going to remain what he is now, a sociopath.”

Slamming the teenager for his callous acts, a comment read, “I don’t care how old he is, What he did and then was able to laugh about shows an utter disregard for life! That’s what you would call a cold blooded killer! I hate to see a 14 yr old thrown in prison, but he needs to learn he can’t get away with murder!”

Joking about the typical double standards of the Democrats, one user stated, “Well leftist say children should be able to make their own decisions about transitioning from a male to female. So, they must be old enough to face the consequences of their choices.”

Watch the judge wipe the smile off the smug criminal’s face here:

Rounding out the comments, one user wondered if the murderer would be free sooner than expected, saying, “Unfortunately, there’s a chance he’ll be released as a young adult. Seen it happen before, this kids get out at 19-21yrs old instead of serving their full sentences Such a joke.”

Used to prison was your safe place cause the family of the victim would be waiting for you. Not anymore, these cretins are a protected class and Joe citizen gets to spend life in prison for taking out the trash.

I agree with every word in the video. Examples need to start being made, I don’t care how old they are, what color they are. Make the punishment fit the crime. PERIOD.

A public hanging in this case.

There was a story long time ago where this guy who finished a fifteen year sentence and was released (Joliet I think), anyway he walked to a bus stop near the prison and was waiting on the bus when a car pulled up and gunned him down. Fifteen year wait for retribution.

I reside less than an hour from New Orleans. For the 7 plus years living here I have gone to New Orleans once to see my brother perform at a club (he plays saxophone.) The Parish of Orleans is a cesspool and most people who earn any real money out of New Orleans live north across of Pontchartrain in St. Tammany parish because it’s courts and police/Sherriffs are strict. The locals of New Orleans have a percentage that are exactly like this punk...I have never been back to Orleans parish because of animals like him and there are quite a few there...predatory vultures with no soul.

The guy near the end of the video tells it exactly like it should be. Worth watching the video.

The 73 year old grandmother he killed was trying to escape the car and got caught in the seatbelt. The teens sped off in the car dragging her with such force that her arm was torn off.

this video montage is complete bullshit: it switches back and forth between new orleans police, a Waukesha County Sheriff’s vehicle, and a Michigan State Court judge ...

this new orleans news clip tells what really happened a year ago:

I would have not problem with handing him a death sentence. The world would be a better place.

All violent men and women like this, bullet to the head. They are as fairly dealt with for their act as possible, problem is 100% over, and taxpayers not supporting them for decades. Helps reduce prisons and incarcerated numbers.
