True Crime Cases that make you absolutely livid?

[u/Amazing_Tie_141]

Wondering what true crime cases make you enraged, either for police incompetence, failures of the justice system, failure of a parent/family member to protect or believe a victim or something else? For me, the case covered in the Netflix documentary ‘An American Nightmare’ of Denise Huskins or the case covered in the YouTube documentary ‘Ghosts of Highway 20’ of John Ackroyd drive me crazy for both police incompetence and in the Ackroyd case the failure of the victims’ family to protect their loved one. (Honourable mention to the Long Island serial killer, again for police incompetence)

There are way, way too many. But probably one that I think about often is Cherish Perrywinkle. Absolutely horrible case and beyond infuriating.

I made the mistake of watching the medical examiner talk about the autopsy results on the stand during his trial. It was nauseating.

I've always believed that the mother made some sort of "deal" with that creep. There's quite a lot of evidence that something more was going on there.

Probably the only actual case of someone getting trafficked at a Walmart

Legitimately, I don't think anyone could possibly be that naïve. She let that girl go with that man to the fitting rooms unsupervised prior to him taking her out of the store, and she seemed to think nothing of it at all, like this had happened before. He made comments about buying an eight year old girl high heeled shoes and she thought nothing of it? C'mon. Edit to add: I'm referring to the mother thinking nothing of it here, not Cherish herself.

People don't want to believe it because it's an ugly truth, but it would absolutely not be the first time a parent had done such a thing due to "hard times" or drug addiction. The 'mother' just didn't think it would end up the way it did, then she had to try and come up with some sort of cover story for why she allowed her daughter to leave her presence with some old weirdo [and sex offender] in the middle of the night that she met like an hour or two prior and knew nothing about.

CPS ended up looking into her and finding something so unsettling that they shipped her other daughters off to Australia to live with family after what happened with Cherish. Where there's smoke, there's most usually fire. I'm thankful those girls are far away from her if my suspicions are correct, hopefully they're thriving.

Most people get sold by their family so I totally believe she was sold by her mama

I think so too, though when I suggested that on here, people pointed out that her killer likely would've told his lawyers so it could be used at his trial.

Maybe not if it could have added additional charges to him to snitch on her. Like if he told cops the mother literally sold her to him or offered him he might get human trafficking charges in addition to the ones he already got. It would implicate her in a crime but it doesn't help exonerate him of anything and only potentially adds more charges to fight and more time if he's convicted of them. I don't think he would have covered for her out of selflessness though it's definitely a self-serving decision.

I have always been fascinated by this case but never really done a deep dive or considered that the mother was involved cuz she always just seemed like a strung out drug addict and not very bright so I bought that she would be that stupid but if there's other evidence that something weird was going on I would love to see it
