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.

Thompson also said she was two months pregnant at the time. She claimed Hodgson cut her stomach with a piece of glass. Afterward, Thompson grabbed the glass and then blacked out. She then allegedly awoke to Hodgson dead on the floor.

Whether she blacked out or not is irrelevant to the crime. This claim of a blackout seems to be a popular tactic among defense attorneys to suggest the perp was not responsible for her actions at the time. It may play well among ignorant jurors, but makes no difference in reality.

Basing desirable population on ethnicity is not reality, unless you live in a gated WASP enclave with residency restrictions against equality...

Texas was settled by my ancestors from Spain before any other Europeans were here-we aren’t leaving after 4+ centuries.

Italians also share the volatile Latin temperament-so do the French to a lesser extent-it is all a legacy of the Romans-who were not known for their self-control. As for the ghettopotami, they are likely not more temperamental in general than other women-probably just less self control enforced them by their parents, and/or mental issues...

My husband told me most of the guys he worked with were calling what happened a stone cold killing by the dead man’s wife, but the women were saying the prank was justified by the cheating-it just went terribly bad-karma and all that-it probably dampened the desire to cheat for the men working there, too...

Thw two racist BLACK yutes who brutally attack a white DOGE employee got "probation" by a BLACK judge.

Elon Musk agrees with me.

Just come out with it you coward.

Say exactly what you mean rather then pulling the coy as a whore in church routine.

Pop your mommy's titty out of your mouth and be a man rather then a cringing soy boy.

I’m a Caucasian of Hispanic ancestry-and conservative-not anti anyone. Lack of self control covers all races in upbringing-and as a society, we have tolerated WAY too much violence. I also agree with Elon-I don’t care what color/ethnicity you are, you beat people up, you get a fine and jail time. I don’t post thinly veiled racist/bigot comments, either...

Your statements are clearly anti-white by ignoring the reality of black supremacy and black privilege.

You've exposed your vile bigotry & racism...Elon & us freepers thank you! 😊
