It's so difficult to wrap my mind around how cold and calculating some people can be. I can't stop thinking about that Snapchat video and the gall it takes to flaunt stolen items from a murder victim. It's terrifying to imagine someone wearing a deceased's belongings like they’re mere trinkets — it’s a blatant disregard for Francisco's life and dignity. I can't help but feel for his family and friends seeing that. It must have been like reopening an incredibly painful wound. This aspect of the case is chilling; the lack of remorse is just unsettling. So glad the guilty parties were finally brought to justice, but this kind of loss lingers long after sentences are served. Hopefully, Francisco's loved ones can find some solace in the fact that justice, to some extent, has been served.

I’ve been following Francisco Roman Jr.’s case closely, and one aspect that really stands out to me is how social media played a role in uncovering some details. It's tragic to think that Shamari Smith was flaunting the victim's possessions on Snapchat without a thought for who might recognize them. Social media can be such a double-edged sword—bringing people together but also unraveling someone's life in the most violating way. It's just shocking that this small detail tied back to something so much larger and devastating. My thoughts are with Francisco’s family, having to deal with not just losing him, but watching parts of his life appear like that. Such a senseless act with so much evidence practically handed over via a phone screen; I hope this at least played a role in bringing justice for Francisco. What do you all think about the impact social media had in unraveling this case?
