Sakiyna Thompson, 31, is facing a first-degree murder charge in the July 2022 killing of 23-year-old Kayla Hodgson. A woman accused of killing her romantic rival in 2022 took the stand for a second day in her own defense on Monday, telling jurors that she blacked out when she stabbed the victim.

Sakiyna Thompson, 31, is facing a first-degree murder charge in the July 2022 killing of 23-year-old Kayla Hodgson.

Broward Sheriff's Office officials said Thompson flew to South Florida from New York days before the murder with the intent of killing Hodgson. Prosecutors said Thompson was jealous that Hodgson was dating Thompson's ex-boyfriend.

Hodgson was later found stabbed to death in her Tamarac Village Apartments home.

We were in a Macy’s in an upscale mall. Black women got into some kind of a shoving match at the checkout line and one was screaming, “I’ll cut you B@tch!” as her friend held her back. Just saying not surprised this woman was stabbed to death. It’s a culture.

Oh, I get it. She “blacked” out. Blacked! Case dismissed.

In the last year we had a white girl who killed her mother, and about 5 white girls who killed their boyfriends, one of them put him in a suitcase.

Is it that she’s black, or that she’s from Florida. Think about it.

She flew from NY to Florida just to have “a woman to woman talk”.

I think she could have done that over the phone.

Oh anything bad in black culture, there are more or at least plenty of whites who do the same. Just by sheer numbers.
Still, there are cultural patterns. Whatever, I just like to tell the “I’ll cut you b” story.

As much as I hate to rain on your parade-race is not really a factor-when a female of any ethnic makeup is mentally unstable and allows jealousy to take over, she becomes the psycho monster from hell and killing can happen...

I’m Hispanic-we are hot tempered and vengeful when done wrong-add poor impulse control to that and you have a potential fight to the death looking for a place to happen-check out the tragedy that happened in 2013 here in Texas when a sane and civilized wife and mom named Francis Hall got tired of her husband’s cheating and his mistress texting all the time so she saw an opportunity and went after her-All 3 people were Hispanic, so I totally understand why it happened-the husband set it in motion-he should have known better-and karma is a bitch...

My 1st husband had a coworker who died of a heart attack at 47 when he woke up in a hotel room with his wife in bed with him, pointing a gun at his head-when he had gone to sleep there with the mistress he thought was was his dirty little secret. Yes-the man’s wife and mistress were both Hispanic...

My point is that all human females can be deadly...

They say all serial killers are white, but the no. 1 serial killer in the U.S. is Samuel Little (91 kills), but no one gives him credit, because he is black.

Wow, that’s a heckuva story right there!

Go on, how did it end? Surely there is more to tell.

Why not just call, text-or trash the rival on social media? Definitely can’t use the sudden/crime of passion defense-a flight from NY to Florida is NOT an unplanned happening...

Does the article say she lives in Florida? It implies that she’s from New York.
