His Mother’s Pleas
During the hearing, Shannon begged the court to give her access to Ricky again. The judge promptly refused. Shannon spent a large majority of the hours-long hearing sobbing and exclaiming repeatedly that she had not done anything wrong.
Her Argument
It sounded like Shannon was not aware of the severity of what she had done to her song. During the hearing, Shannon stated: “You’re making me sound bad. It was not like that at all.” The mother was completely unaware of the magnitude of the trauma that Ricky had experienced.
