Esmie Tseng due back in court in April

Matricide suspect has April court date:
We don't follow a whole lot of stories here at News of Doom. That's not what we're about. We usually post about an initial crime with our brief opinion and move on. However once in a while a story will produce enough feedback and enough traffic that it's worth following. One of these stories is the case of Esmie Tseng. She's a 16-year-old girl from Kansas that was arrested for stabbing her mother, 55-year-old Shu Yi Zhang, to death. The story has created a firestorm of support for Ms. Tseng. You can get more of the story in our archives.

The big debate is whether or not Esmie Tseng should be tried as an adult or not. According to the article that will all come to a head in April when arguments start on April 3rd to see if she will be tried as an adult or not.

Thanks for continuing to post about this story. I've been following what you say and this site has some of the most stuff together about Esmie on the web, particularly that has been deleted. Keep it up.

She has, at least on 2 occasions, obviously fantasized about stabbing her mother, only to actually end up in fact doing so.. That, to me, is a clear sign of premeditation....

as a close friend of Esmie's i just want to say that she is the smartest person i have ever met in my life and she is the last person you would expect to see in JDC this is from someone who spent three months with her in the facility and was recently released and keeps in contact with her constatntly i'm privilaged not to disclose information about the case but i want to let everybody know that i support her and i hope she doesn't get tried as an adult because she has more future then half the people out there and i pray for her constantly

She. Stabbed. Her. Mother. Repeatedly.

No fucking mercy.

"Oh, she has such a bright future," "She must be so tortured because she lost her mother." Poor diddums. Fucking spare me. She should've thought of that before stabbing her mother repeatedly.

i can't believe people actually support someone who killed their own mother. i read on her 'support' website that another parent said she "would be proud to have her as my child" EXCUSE ME, but she would've murdered you already. she doesn't even seem the least bit remorseful about what she did.

well said.
she did it--stabbing her own mother--repeatedly and
cold-bloodedly. any parent should "be proud of" such a child?
not me!!
it's tragic outcome of cultural clash plus drug effect and
unemployment on the parent.
you could blame on the social factors but still individuals
need to take responsibility.
