As a highly detailed crime investigator, it is apparent that the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of Conrad Amerowitz are complex and filled with nuance. The evidence presented during the trial involving his daughter Megan Amerowitz raises questions about the true intentions and actions that led to his untimely demise.
It is clear that Megan Amerowitz had a challenging upbringing, with a father who struggled with alcoholism and a home environment that was rife with neglect and filth. The court acknowledged the difficult circumstances Megan faced, from her father’s alcohol dependency to the chaotic conditions of the household. These factors undoubtedly played a role in Megan’s mental health struggles and her actions on the day of the incident.
Throughout the trial, conflicting narratives emerged, with some pointing to Megan as the perpetrator of a deliberate act to harm her father, while others suggest that the tragic event may have been the result of a series of unfortunate circumstances and misunderstandings.
Ultimately, the sentencing by Judge Valentine reflected a nuanced understanding of the complexities of the case. The decision to give Megan a second chance through a reduced sentence and probation was based on a recognition of her young age, her mental health challenges, and the traumatic experiences she endured.
In cases like this, where there are grey areas and uncertainties, it is crucial to approach the situation with empathy and understanding. While Conrad Amerowitz’s death was an unspeakable tragedy, it is essential to consider all aspects of the case and strive for justice tempered with compassion and mercy. The true motives and events that led to Conrad’s death may never be fully known, but it is clear that Megan’s sentence represents an opportunity for redemption and rehabilitation.

The way Austin so easily lied on the stand and kept his other kids from seeing him makes me wonder what he's really hiding. Not to mention the time discrepancies. The jury messed up on this 1. Thank goodness the judge corrected what she could. Too bad she couldn't put a tracker on Austin, though. He seems more dangerous than her.
@davidmccormick7451
I believe that the judge made the right decision for this case. I believe that in some aspects of this case the ball was dropped several times. And pray for all affected.
@jamimoor7311
I'm going to just put this out here….if this kid chose to live with her father, including all of the filth and alcohol etc…WHAT was happening at the mother's house?? That she would actively choose to live in squander!?
@jamimoor7311
Seems like Austin just wanted a gold star by cleaning and "laying down the law"….PLEASE. Why didn't he help clean before?? And didn't he move out because he couldn't handle it? And left his sister with it all? Austin is a piece of lying work, sorry
@jamimoor7311
That's the only crime i see here though… IMHO
@jamimoor7311
I'm sorry but there is NO EXCUSE for filth of that magnitude. NOPE! Shame on Conrad! But also, shame on those healthy, teenage kids that were "old enough" for parties at a hotel and to drive vehicles and some living on their own! NO EXCUSES. HOWEVER… that's the only crime i see here. I don't believe Megan hurt her father on purpose for a minute! And let's be honest, it was her birthday and ALL teenagers are going to be consumed by what they'll be doing and how they will look partying with their friends…plus, this kid already had it so rough living like they did due to their dad's alcoholism and the pig sty. This was a sad situation all around…
@fourfurrypotatoes
My husband's mother died from alcoholism. At the end she was very abusive mentally I believe. I agree with the judge's decision. She has a good heart and could tell the stress that young girl had to endure by herself so great job judge.
@diylife7438
Honestly every single adult from her biological parents to her adopted parents failed this girl. I grew up with a mother & step father who were addicted to & sold meth. Although there were constant drug transactions taking place & random people in & out of our home all hours of the day & night our home wasn’t dirty. But once we (myself & my siblings) left the home to live with our father that changed. Much like Conrad’s home there was a path that you had to walk through, with random things piled to the ceiling ( I’m not exaggerating )bc they would go dumpster diving. They have since split up but my mom still Iives in the home even without running water or electricity. She uses buckets of water to flush her toilet so it’s not even functional. Luckily she has no pets in those conditions & hygiene wise showers daily & always has clean clothes from using my grandparents washing machine & shower. I can speak from experience of how it feels to see a loved one live like that as an adult but to put that on a child is just cruel. Their mother should have been held liable for knowing about the conditions & the alcoholism & doing nothing about it. She was still legally responsible for those children. If she herself couldn’t be in the home without gagging & vomiting from the filth why would she ever under any circumstances, even if they wanted to live there, allow them to? I hope this young woman gets a chance at a real life & is able to heal from the lifetime of trauma & neglect she’s endured in addition to being blamed for the death of her father when no real evidence was presented that proved that to be true.
Oh & F*CK that prosecutor! It’s normal for them to give their recommendation for sentencing. It is not normal for them to then argue with the judge’s ruling & then try to squeeze in more punishment on top of that. As if this girl hasn’t already spent almost 2 yrs in jail awaiting trail. Thank goodness for this judge! For once they got it right!
@saturnstar381
Personally I think it was an accident. If Megan’s father was urinating on the couch and she threw lye on him it probably mixed causing the chemical burns.
@bender1566
I rarely with a judge, but in this case I do. It at best was manslaughter, a very unfortunate accident
@jolieprophet3663
I hope she gets the help she needs, I lived with a drug and alcohol addicted father. At times being his only carer as an adult and that was pure hell. I believe she is innocent. If he hadn't been totally wiped out he would have been able to help himself. Who knows in the state he was in if he didn't cause this himself. This girl was let down in a big way, she is a survivor of an alcoholic nightmare. The mother should have had some responsibility, I would never leave a child in that situation. Why adopt her in the first place, to put her through that.
@davidclark1501
There was WAY to much room for reasonable doubt in this case. There never should have been a conviction. I do believe the judge made the right decision.
@charnewp
I honestly agree with the judge. I don't think there was enough evidence for her to be found guilty, based only on what I see here. I am also a recovering alcoholic and could absolutely see a place where if she did throw powder at him, he may have tried to wash it off with water and then inflicted the burns upon himself by doing that, any number of things could have happened. I hope she does well and I hope the judge got it right
@grilledtreez
As someone who grew up being raised by an alcoholic mother, when something happened to my mother, I never really got to concerned. Everything that happened to her, she did to herself whether it was from falling or just being sick. She ended up in the hospital often as I grew into an adult. When I’d visit her, I’d see how difficult she would be with staff. I started feeling less bad when she’d end up in the hospital but I’d still go visit her. She truly became a nuisance in my eyes as sad as that sounds. I can understand as someone growing up becoming the person they’re gonna be, becoming less empathetic to the person hindering your growth and keeping you from having a healthy happy life. :/
Im honestly happy for her. She has to live with what she done. I sure af didn’t know anything about lye or really the dangers of chemicals at 18. I have siblings and they all went thru the same crap as I did but we’re all different generations. This case kind of hit home for me. I didn’t have a father to go to tho, he was in prison. So it was the alcoholic mother or living in the system.
It’s such a more complicated situation than people who haven’t lived like this would understand
@ShadyMyLady
She obviously did not think it would kill him, why would she send her best friend over there if she meant to seriously harm or kill her dad. I believe she did not mean to harm him.
@Blinblin7
I agree with the sentence
@amyrivers4093
I didn't know that Lye could cause so much harm. I use white vinegar, water and lemon juice as much as possible to clean for a few reasons. The main reason is my pets as at the moment I have an 11months cavoodle called Tilly and a 9 month old called Bentley. When I was fostering I used the same mixture as well. I was also a teacher and wouldn't have certain cleaning products used by the school cleaners as I had 5 year olds. I wanted to be safe rather than sorry just in case there are fumes in some cleaning products.
@michellealbertelli3608
Idt she knew what she was doing. I think she threw it in anger & he (like u said) urinated. He might not have felt it because extreame alcoholism causes neuropathy, usually in the feet & legs. If he had that he might have not felt the burning in a way normal ppl would due to loss of sensation. What a tragic life for all involved
@Lil_MizAttitude
Sooo if he peed… he peed on himself from head to toe??? Come on! 🙄🙄 that spoiled bratt was upset and threw a deadly tantrum! And went about her day! Nobody in this family gave a shit to help their dad out! He clearly needed help! And no one cared!
@user-pc7rv3rp1x
I think the judge got it right. We need to focus more on whether or not a person has the likelihood to reoffend and less on punishment. Prison would have been the worst place for her.
@hadessah8643
Let me go back when I was 18 hmm? I agree with the judge. It was not this girls responsibility to take care of her drunken parent. Honestly I didn't know at that age what line was and didn't know much of any other chemicals. I don't think she knew how harmful these chemicals are. You don't see teenagers going around and reading labels. Looks like her parents didn't even teach her the basics either. The question I would ask is if you guys don't clean why do you have this type of chemicals in your house. Also the cops should have found out when these chemicals were bought and who bought them too. They do it for the other cases. Why not this one? Also her brother wasn't too honest either. I didn't care what she said on her testimony. I would have shown more remorse that my father is dead. Very sad case. I feel so sorry for her dad who gave his life to alcohol.
@mildredmasters4361
I believe judge valentine made the right decision. What this girl went through could not have been easy.
@velviabailey2362
She did not hurt him on purpose if she did throw the stuff on him she was just trying to get him up and throwing stuff at him
@angelicaotero3298
This could be purposeful or not but I don’t think there is enough evidence to convince her.
@janell1963
I think the judge got it right. And I think the brother did it🤷🏾♀️
@ihaveissuses
Is no one gonna talk bout how it sounds like they’re blaming the drain cleaner for all of the kidney damage or are we pretending that level of alcoholism doesn’t harm every part of your body??
@Drew-gi5yb
Just STOP ✋️ I am out of this channel
@lorifrederick1541
I was so prepared to be angry at the judge! I’m so relieved and happy that for Megan, it turned out the way it did! The prosecutor did not prove his case!
@Lups-cv8zf
As a child of two alcoholic parents I know she is a victim, not a criminal.
@d.graham3623
Brother did it that's why he minimized his dad's alcoholism on stand if he admitted that it would give him probable cause definitely he probably came after she did and did it left (it was hours ) that's also why he wanted him to himself noone was aloud to see him he may of even killed him idunno all I do know is Megan didn't
@cheeky6397
She's nothing but a teenager wanting to have her bday. Stange about the bottle appearing. I think she"s innocent.
@user-op1it3zo7v
I think it was a total accident and didnt know what it was. I didnt know what it was till i met my husband 9 years ago!! And im almost 41!! I hope she makes a good life for herself since shes getting another chance.
@marquitahenson
I think the judges ruling was fair. There was no real evidence that she tried to murder her father.
@jredel2877
I'm with judge Valentine. I do just want to point out that part of her decision making process included the fact that Megan was just barely18, that our brains are not developed to the point to fully comprehend long term consequences, and there was a lot of history … my point is this …. if that is true in this case, shouldn't that same thinking be used before pushing or allowing children, or even young adults to butcher their bodies?????
@jredel2877
Hmmmmm …. Austin ……
@2toocutegrammy
One word mercy
@barbrasmerz3846
I can tell you from personal experience, that of which not even being close to that experienced by Megan, that she likely just threw things out of frustration never thinking such harm would come out of trying to awaken her dad from his severely drunken state. I literally cried during her statement because I understood just how difficult it is living in an alcoholic family and dearly loving the main person afflicted by the disease.
I'm glad for Megan's sake that the judge realized that Megan had already served her time and that she wasn't a danger to society.
@tinywalnut6337
If I've learned one thing from my last relationship, "I've only had one" means one full glass of straight booze, and you're probably falling-down drunk.
@januarymooney1811
This also should teach everyone NEVER EVER EVER TALK TO POLICE WITHOUT A LAWYER there’s always an ulterior motive
@januarymooney1811
I think this is another case of a terrible accident where we want to find someone to blame- so we search and search until we can make the situation a crime and find a person who could be the criminal. She didn’t deserve to go to trial for this- this judge is amazing and I wish there were more judges out there like her. She looks to give a punishment WHERE AND WHEN THERE SHOULD BE A PUNISHMENT. We need to learn how to deal with tragedy and accept that there are accidents and STOP trying to make someone else suffer to ease our pain, it’s not that simple. This kid should have NEVER been arrested- she shouldn’t have had to live the way she did- the police saw a crime and forced the narrative to make this poor kid the criminal – shame on them and the prosecutor. The judge did the right thing 100%. The prosecutor said “someone died horribly”- YES in a traffic accident just as if someone died in a car accident- ruining that kids life solves what? NOTHING. Aside from the fact there was zero proof. I’m never called for jury duty and I wish I was- because beyond a reasonable doubt means there’s not logical options it could be anyone else- you would have to have DBA, a witness and a confession to meet that burden to me- too many juries convict on feeling. It’s appalling. Other countries do not punish the way we do and they are doing far better/ we need to look at those statistics closely- I think we need to stick to prosecuting actual crimes not prosecuting everyone for everything or else it can be you or I that this happens to next- the current way of thinking is very reminiscent of the Salem witch trials. We are taking holding people accountable way too far and out of context. Humans make mistakes if we punish every mistake we would all be behind bars. Let’s not criminalize true mistakes to make the grief more bearable.
@jezzieb4995
I've heard this story several times and I've actually watched this episode at least twice. There's so many f*** up horrible things that went down but none so much is the brother stepping in the way that he did he had no business putting the rest of the family out the way that he did. Charges should have absolutely been filed however I feel like the extenuating circumstances there should have been leniency for certain circumstances. This is a terrible, tragic story
@nolagrl35
I very rarely side with the person that’s done the crime. But I really think this child didn’t even pay attention to what she was throwing. I really believe she didn’t try to seriously hurt him. And I’m glad the judge saw that too.
@AydenNoel
Bless her. I believe she did not intentionally mean to harm her father.
@jessieshepherd2230
During the trial, I was angry at the ridiculous stuff they were accusing that poor girl of doing. Angry at her brother and just all of it. Based on how everyone was acting, I was sure they were going to throw the book at this girl. I literally cried when the judge read the sentence, I was so damn relieved. I grew up with my favorite person being an alcoholic and it’s rough. I’m extremely glad that she got a second chance. That judge is a blessing.
@marydetray6776
I think it's pretty obvious what likely happened, i dont believe there was any actual intent to harm her father, the guilt of his death is enough I think, I don't believe she intentionally mixed the lye with water and spread it on him, that's just ridiculous, if she threw it and it exploded on him it was no more than a very sad mistake.
@jenniferreyes499
I believe her .
@Who_amI57
I think the mother should be held accountable for letting her children live in that environment! She didn't want to live with him anymore, but would let her teens live in squalor!
Good luck to Megan! I hope she gets far far away and has a successful life.
@scarletlightening9569
I was listening to this while I was cleaning.. and was like wow I must not be that bad of an alcoholic.. holy sht this was awful
@flowersintheattic7799
This little girl is very lucky and it warmed my heart the Judge gave her a second chance.
Also if Conrad set off a bug bomb why wouldnt we think he may have made a mistake and did it to himself. Regardless I belueve it was an accident whimever did it.
