Story:

Isabella Guzman's story is a tragic one intertwined with mental illness. In 2013, at the age of 18, she brutally stabbed her mother, Yun Mi Hoy, 79 times in their Aurora, Colorado home. The horrific act was discovered by her stepfather after hearing a commotion.

Arrested and charged, Guzman pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Prosecutors acknowledged signs of mental illness and didn't contest the plea. Doctors diagnosed her with schizophrenia, uncovering years of disturbing delusions. She believed her mother was someone named "Cecelia" who needed to be eliminated to save the world. In 2014, a judge ruled her not guilty due to insanity, committing her to a mental health institute.

Years later, in 2020, Guzman's case gained a disturbing online following when footage from her court hearing surfaced on TikTok. Despite the crime's severity, some viewers became strangely fixated on her. Meanwhile, Guzman sought release, claiming her schizophrenia was controlled by medication. She also made unsubstantiated claims of abuse by her family. As of now, her release status remains undecided.

The case has sparked discussions about mental health, the justice system's response to such situations, and the ethics of online trends surrounding serious crimes
