  • She recalls her mother trying to shield her during the trial coverage by limiting TV, radio, school, and outings, but she discovered the details online.
  • During a prison visit, Drabbad gave her a voodoo doll and told her it would kill the classmates who were bullying her.
  • She describes intense bullying that led to dropping out of school and teenage drug addiction, then says a later text from her father threatened her family and ended contact.
