Most people don’t think about the consequences
before committing a crime no matter how heinous
it is. But the law doesn’t hold back when it’s time to
punish the ones who’ve wronged society and
robbed many of their rights, safety, property and
even lives. What’s even strange is that people who
have already been to jail, also don’t think twice
about breaking the law. Most of these people are
counting on never getting caught and never
getting punished in case they do. What they don’t
know is that once their case goes to trial, there’s
no way to absolutely predict what the jury will
decide. A lot of the time, the defendants aren’t
expecting a sentence and when they are it can
sometimes be harsher and longer than they
expected. Did you know that every one out of five
people imprisoned in the world is incarcerated in
the United States. Just in 2016, 2.2 million
Americans were incarcerated. Since 1976 more
than seven thousand eight hundred defendants
have been sentenced to death. So far one
thousand five hundred of these have been
executed. According to reports, as of December
2022 two thousand five hundred and ninety-nine
convicts are still on death row. From serial murder
to child abuse and even repeated assaults, all sorts
of terrifying crimes and their perpetrators have
been prosecuted in courts across the world and
some of them received sentences that made them
rue the day they even thought about breaking the
law. Today we’ll show you how convicts reacted
after hearing their sentence and honestly it’s not a
pretty picture. Some of the reactions are incredibly
disturbing and you might need to take a minute to
understand the convicts’ behavior
