She was living a lie - and it was all about to come crashing down because her mom was on the phone with her school. She was about to discover the truth and all the lies Sydney had told. Sydney grabbed a heavy cast iron skillet & steak knife… her murder weapons. She would murder her mom, and her family would stand behind her. Was Sydney legally insane at the time of the killing?
