This is the kind of case where the word "justice" feels hopelessly inadequate.
Calvin Crew, 25, sentenced to life without parole for the execution-style murder of Christina Spicuzza, a 38-year-old Uber driver and mother of four. He didn't even have the stones to show up for his own sentencing. The fiancé was right — pure cowardice.
The dashcam footage is what makes this one particularly gutting. She's begging for her life, he has a gun to her head, and the recording only stops when he notices the camera. Then he dumps her body. Two days later she's found with a gunshot wound to the head in the Pittsburgh area.
A few things that stand out:
•She was working. Just grinding, trying to make money driving for Uber — one of those gig jobs people take to keep things afloat — and she picks up the wrong passenger.
•Four kids now have no mother because some piece of garbage decided her life was worth less than whatever he was after.
•The cowardice of refusing to face the courtroom says everything. Could pull a trigger on a defenseless woman begging for her life, but can't sit in a room and hear what he did.
The fiancé's statement hits hard — "I was lost, out of control. She saw something in me." That's the kind of thing you only say about someone who genuinely pulled you out of the abyss. And now she's gone because some man with a gun decided she was an obstacle.
Life in prison is the floor, not the ceiling, for what this warrants.

I’m so talked out, im not addressing anything anymore. The answers you want are always in people’s actions. I no longer want an explanation as to why people chose to be weird when it comes to me. Your actions were enough for me to realize you’re not who I THOUGHT you were. Thanks
YOU START LOOKING AT PEOPLE DIFFERENT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW THEY REALLY BEEN TREATING YOU. especially when you realize how much you overlooked just to keep peace, avoid arguments, or keep somebody in your life.
i have a friend who treats me so well that she doesn’t even know that she’s established a standard for how i let everyone else treat me, and i think that’s beautiful
adult friendships have taught me that sometimes the person you regard as a “close friend” isn’t really your friend. and that’s okay, take your L and move on.
