I seen this one before and I thought to myself oh my god Amy’s friend had him killed because she was jealous. NEVER did I or would I have thought Amy had a role in it too. Very sad story. My heart goes out to his family and young daughter. Awful crime, and.for what???? No reason in my book. R.I.P.

Amy’s crazy a## parents blamed Ricky’s family for their daughter finally bring brought to justice. God takes care of everything and if William, the murder, didn’t find Christ in jail, he might not have ever told that Amy and Jennifer were a part of it. Amy’s parents blaming Ricky’s parents for getting Amy locked up is just an illustration of their crazy parenting and why their daughter would think that killing Ricky was a better option than going back home. Furthermore, the mother said she was 17 and in a relationship with her 24-husband when she had Amy so thought that it was ok for her 15 year-old daughter to be in a relationship with a 20-year-old man. At 17, we know that she didn’t have the capacity to raise Amy appropriately. I don’t think Amy’s parents should have joint custody with Ricky’s parents of Amy’s daughter. I shutter to think of the terrible influence they will have on her and since they don’t believe Amy had anything to do with it..how confusing it will be when Amy’s daughter wants to know what happened to her mom and dad and hears two different stories from her grandparents. Amy’s parents deserved the lashing that they received from the Judge at trial and still don’t understand why people blame them for what happened.

Amy’s mom didn’t have Amy when she was 17. Amy has an older sister. She was an adult when Amy was born. I went to high school with all of these people. I remember how lenient Amy’s parents were. I recall her mom specifically telling all of us that if we were going to have sex, to remember to use a condom, and that she doesn’t tell her kids NOT to have sex, she tells them to “be safe” about it. See how well that theory worked out for them.
Amy was a party-er, I would never put any of this past her or her friend. Jennifer’s parents are pretty naive even today. Sad what can happen when the parents just aren’t paying attention. Now I am watching Jennifer’s kids grow up with the same parenting she got (because her parents have custody) frightens me really. Seems the drama gravitates to that family even now .

They seem to have a good influence on her. According to one of the documentaries I watched about the case, she’s a wonderful person who unlike her mother cares about other people’s feelings (her grandmother on her mother’s side said that she doesn’t like to disappoint people). They were not good parents to Amy but they do appear to be good grandparents, Ricky’s parents had nothing but good things to say about them as grandparents in the documentary.
I think it was a good thing that the grandparents decided to share custody especially since it resulted in both of them putting the past behind them for their granddaughter. That poor kid has been through enough thanks to her mother, having two grandparents who have put their differences aside and co-parents her together is better than two who are openly bitter towards each other and always fighting over her.
Like them, I don’t understand either why people blame them for what happened, they may have been lazy in their parenting but Amy has a mind of her own and is the only one responsible for her actions. She’s the one who decided that Ricky didn’t deserve to live and plotted with Jennifer to murder him, people only have control over their own actions and what kind of person they become.

They are horrible parents, role models and if you did the “best you could do” well you didn’t do a damn thing and definitely didn’t do a good job. I think the parents should be in jail too but I guess they will have their day in a higher court one day. I can’t stand even thinking about them. And the Cowells are apparently wonderful people who raised a wonderful son and are taking everything in stride the best they can. Two families did not pay the price in this situation. One family paid the price and another got what they deserved for being hateful, ignorant and indignant.

My biggest beef is with parents and their sorry way of parenting. Spoiling a child is worse than physical abuse!! Tough love…..discipline is what kids want and need!!

Lack of parenting does not turn a person into a psychopath, there are plenty of people with parents like Amy’s and they didn’t become a murderer and people who grew up in a household with strict parenting and discipline who did. Amy most likely would have turned out the way she did even if her parents had taken parenting seriously because she’s clearly a psychopath. Amy’s parents have their flaws as parents but they are not responsible for her actions. All parents can do is teach their children morals and how to be a stable normal person but they can’t make it happen.

There was nothing done in my name. However, I believe that once you are convicted of murder, you should not have any privileges. Let’s see, does Ricky Cowles get any privileges?

And here, on my blog, the VICTIM is the most important person. I focus on victims. There are plenty of groups that focus on killers and forget that the victim ever lived. You should contact them. And no, you are not taking me out of my comfort zone. That was a weird statement you made.
LikeLike
How all prisoners are treated is done in all our names. Do we treat them humanely, or as violently as they treated their victims? I’m a humanist.
Convicted felons have rights, and privileges are the carrot to encourage good behavior and rehabilitation. The biggest stick is the hole. I wonder how you would feel if a member of family was incarcerated. Suppose it was YOUR daughter that falsely accused and wrongfully segregated in such inhumane conditions? Guilty or not, should people be treated like that?
One should not forget that it is not just the inmate who is “punished” but the family. What did they do to deserve being exploited by over-priced phone charges to the incarcerated, or being manipulated by prison staff on visits? Being forced to travel hundreds to thousands of miles to visit their loved one?
I’m sticking to your rules, but I am taking you out of your comfort zone. The vast majority of posts are here are nothing but a self-reinforcing mutual admiration society. Nowhere do you discuss the limits of societal “punishment” and “retribution.” Because of victim rights groups we now have 2.3 million prisoners in this country. In short, we can’t afford it. It is time this country to have some intelligent conversations about the purpose of prisons and incarceration. Should we rehabilitate those that can safely returned to society, or do increase the Gulag Archipelago and fund the prison-industrial complex?
My condolences for your loss. But we need to examine the true causes of crime and violence, and how we treat prisoners. Most eventually go home, and right now most go home brutalized and traumatized. I know that if I were ever to give an victim impact statement I would ask the defendant “Why?” and publicly ponder if poor upbringing, childhood abuse, mental illness, drugs, lack of education and job opportunities led to the tragedy. I’d explain to judge and the audience that we all reap what we sow, and if the defendant apologizes and sincerely works toward reform I’d feel the criminal justice system was actually achieving something, and be inclined to meet with the defendant and get to know him/her. I think all of you on this blog should read about the restorative justice movement. This article will blow a few tough-on-crime minds:
In closing, when I hear the “lock ’em up” so called “tough on crime” crowd speak I realize how easy it was for Hitler to find death camp guards. No thanks, count me out.

However, no, you are NOT following my comment policy. You are focused on a killer, not the victim. No, you are not taking me out of my comfort zone. But you are violating my comment policy on my blog. I understand prisoner’s rights, but I focus on the rights of the victim’s and their loved ones. Guess who has more rights? Yup, the killers. People care about how they are fed or not fed, what they can and can’t do, etc. Have you ever even thought about Ricky and his family? After all, they are the victims here. And for me and my blog, they are the ones that matter. So understand this, if you cannot comment on your time with Ricky or about how sorry you are about what has happened to him and his family, DO NOT comment again.

Committing murder goes beyond falling from grace, you act like it’s a minor mistake and crime…it’s not. I can’t believe that you blamed victim rights groups in another post for there being 2.3 million prisoners in this country. What do you expect the consequences for convicted murderers to be? a slap on the wrist, told that they are bad boy or girl and to not do it again? The prisoners that are guilty of what they are accused of are responsible for where they ended up. All victim rights groups do is fight for the rights of victims who can’t defend themselves and whose basically serving a life sentence for their murderers actions, they don’t get a second chance like many murderers do. The prisoners in this Country have it pretty damn good, in fact they have more rights than their victims. If I had my way the only convicted murderers who would have human and civil rights are the ones where there’s a possibility that they were falsely accused. The one where there is no doubt that they are guilty would have their rights taken from them when convicted. The day I care about their rights is the day when their victim(s) rise from their grave(s).
Hopefully you never have to go through the pain of losing a child or another loved one to murder, but if it happens you will no doubt realize why many wish ill on murderers and are “tough on crime” types. It’s not a crime that is easily forgivable and one that the loved ones of the murder victims will never completely heal from.

I went to school with Amy and knew her friends. Her neighbor Sara lived across the street from me and I would watch the crew run in and out of Sara’s parents house always looking to have a good time.

Amy, would just not like people just because of jealousy. I stayed very far away from the group of people and knew they were into some shaddy things. Sara was a beauty queen and had a lot going for herself, I was surprised to see her surround herself around the wrong crowds. My heart goes out to Ricky and his family. Yes, Amy is beautiful girl but she grew up were everything was handed to her. Her mom was involved with everything with Amy and Amy could never do any wrong. She was a spoiled brat. This is what happens when parents enable this kind of behavior. That little girl is now a teenager and will forever live with the consequences of her mothers actions.

Very sad story. My heart breaks for poor Ricky and the awful death he suffered, and to his family and friends. I’ve watched all the documentaries on this story and they always go on about how terrible Amy was, how she was spoiled by her parents, etc. (don’t get me wrong- I agree with all of those things). But they never say much about Jennifer, about how she was raised, etc. I’m very curious about her, as people say she was even worse than Amy, which is saying a lot. I’m really curious if her parents were just as bad as Amy’s as I know her older brother, Brian Kellogg, is a feared criminal throughout the Antelope Valley and is even suspected to be the real killer of Palmdale teen Michelle O’Keefe. I’m surprised these documentaries don’t question them as well as they raised not one but two killers. From what it sounds like, Jennifer is seems to be serving her time quietly, at least unlike Amy, who causes trouble in prison, gets thrown in solitary and writes articles complaining about it. (Then again, if I got a sweetheart deal like Jennifer I probably wouldn’t be complaining either.) Apparently when they were arrested, Amy was living a good life with her daughter in Lancaster and planning a wedding. What was Jennifer’s life like at that point? She had two children from what I read- where are they? Where is their father? Just curious since we only seem to hear about Amy’s upbringing and psychological issues, never Jennifer’s, and she sounds pretty complex.

They took the bate Satan offered them and sub come to his tricks/wiles (Ephesians Chapter 6 verses 10-17). To read and understand the aforementioned would take no more than 12 minutes verses LWOP or 17+ years in prison. All three should have made WISDOM their sister as stated in Proverbs Chapter one. I pray that all who reads this message will stand firm against the devil and seek the kingdom of God. Like anyone, I struggle with sin (Roman Chapter 7 verses 15-29) just like anyone else. Now, I understand why!!! BEWARE!!!

Three Idiots! I’m so happy they went to jail. Ricky Cowles did Not deserve to be killed and the manner in which he was killed was horrendous and so sad. Billy Hoffman said it was a “notch on his belt” !!?? Scumbags
