YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A Michigan father was forced to face the son who survived his deadly rampage during an emotional sentencing hearing. After pleading guilty to shooting three of his children and killing his 17-year-old son, Jeffery Smerer listened as his surviving son confronted him in court, saying, “You deserve life plus more. I wish you could live two lives in there.” Prosecutors say even more bloodshed was prevented when the children’s mother and a 20-year-old son intervened to stop the attack.
