Did Bernadette have a crush on Kirsten?

People email me and ask in the comment section often, did I think Bernadette had a crush in a sexual way on Kirsten. I don't think so at all. I truly believe it was shear jealousy. 

                        Kirsten Costas

I believe Kirsten came to represent all Bernadette wanted and aspired to be. I think Bernadette really wanted to be friends with Kirsten and she wasn't having it. Clearly Kirsten was right to have some reservations about befriending Bernadette. 

Nobody knows what really happened in that car but Bernadette and Kirsten. I believe Kirsten became angry when she realized there was no Bobby party happening that night. I believe Bernadettte had snapped previously before that car ride. Kirsten said something to set Bernadette off days previously and I believe that's when she decided to kill her. 

Kirsten feeling something was off on top of there being no party fled to a neighbors house. That threw Bernadette's plan off and ignited a fire in her. 

She was rejected officially by Kirsten and she killed her. No romantic feelings, just shear wild teenage jealousy. 

Arthur Costas on why Bernadette/Jeannette shouldn't be released

Arthur and Berit Costas

''From a victim's standpoint, the punishment doesn't even begin to equate to the magnitude of the crime,'' said Costas. He said he resented a justice system that placed Protti in a facility where she could have a boyfriend and complete her high school education -- opportunities that were denied his daughter. 

''You can't replace your child so you think about that all the time,'' said Costas, who said that he worries that Protti remains dangerous to the public. ''The emotions and the public safety -- we lose on both counts.''-Arthur Costas

Here is a current photo of Berit, she is the petite brunette third from R-L in white and tan. 

Here's what the dissenting Parole Board Officer Victor Wisehart said: 

"Bernadette remains a danger to the public and is in need of further treatment to address her inability to control her anger and impulses.'' 

Wisehart referred to a recent incident during which Protti demonstrated ''anger and a lack of impulse control'' in a confrontation with her boyfriend at the Youth Authority school. 

''I hate to think how she would have handled the incident had she been on parole and able to arm herself and stalk again another victim,'' Wisehart said. 

''She has a hidden trigger that anyone can pull just by not giving (her) what she thinks she should get in a relationship.''

Here is dissenting Parole Board member Victor Wisehart. Who should be hailed as a hero for being the only one who stood up and spoke the truth. He knew Bernadette was a liar who needed more time. He passed in 1995. He was 69.  

So scary that she was released in a 2-1 vote. In those days there was pressure on the Judicial system to rehabilitate especially youthful offenders. Also the cost of housing inmates definitely went into that decision. 

I can't believe they went against the Costas' wishes. They were failed by the police investigators they were failed by the courts and the parole board. Jeannette should really just now be getting out. A seven year sentence just wasn't adequate in this case. This was a horrendous crime. Kirsten suffered immensely. 

Bernadette/Jeannette's Attorney Disbarred!

Disbarred Attorney Michael Dershem 

Bernadette's Attorney Michael Dershem who represented her in her Oklahoma name change petition was disbarred by the state of Oklahoma. In a nut shell he was just a whack job who was a terrible attorney. It's no suprise the only person who would represent her was a janky lawyer. Here's a little highlight from the Supreme Court's ruling against her Attorney Michael Dershem.  

From the Supreme Court of Oklahoma: "The Tribunal viewed Respondent's lack of interest in this Complaint as clear evidence of his inability and unwillingness to practice law.

¶ 3 Due to the serious nature of the uncontested allegations against Respondent and his apparent abandonment of the practice of law and disregard for the authority of the bar association and this Court, Respondent is disbarred and ordered to pay costs associated with this investigation in the amount of $315.51".

Also here is the court document showing Jeannette's name change and the lawyer representing her.

This is Jeannette before her nose job. 

Here she is again, I blurred out the child. I don't post about kids. 

Yeah, that's definitely the same nose. She looks better older. 

Amazing court room photo of Bernadette and sister Virginia and Mother

Here's from left to right Bernadette, Virginia Protti Varela and Mother Elaine Protti. 

Here's the newspaper article that accompanied to photo. 

Jeannette responds to why she doesn't answer questions

She is such a jerk. If you're bold enough to have a Mary Poppins persona online, don't be offended when people want to ask you questions. We all want to know how she is able to move on with her life and act like she didn't knife a young girl to death. 

Here's Bernadette/Jeannette just cause lol
