“Tianna Doucette-Moody, the victim’s daughter, read her victim impact statement in court.
‘My father was an innocent man who didn’t deserve to die alone in an alley,’ she said. “No one deserves to be treated so inhumanely.”
So, why didn’t Tina help care for her Dad? I guess I can understand it if he was a druggie and refused help or had mental health issues beyond her ability to help.
I’m not excusing the crime; I’m just always curious when the family members show up after the fact.
If you ever have to deal with an alcoholic or drug addicted relative or friend... you will find out just how little control you have when it comes to changing someone else’s behavior.

He was staying with her but he moved out. He was trying to get into an addiction treatment program, but had trouble staying sober.
Of course, it's possible that she could have taken him directly to such a program somewhere.
In retrospect that would have been the right choice, but it could be that things just broke in the wrong way, that she assumed he was working things out when he wasn't..
My first thought too.
His family didn't care about him before, so any words now ring hollow.
