Emily Reznick whose middle name is ‘EVIL’ claims she and boyfriend killed her mom in self-defense after she suffered years of physical abuse
Emily ‘Evil’ Reznick, 16, claims that her mother, Michelle Louise Taylor, 54, would beat her, overmedicate and emotionally manipulate her.
A 16-year-old California girl whose middle name is ‘Evil’ has claimed she and her boyfriend killed her mom in self-defense – after she suffered physical abuse after her dad died from a scorpion bite.
Emily ‘Evil’ Reznick claims that her mother, Michelle Louise Taylor, 54, would beat her, overmedicate and emotionally manipulate her by ‘filling her head with lies’ according to letters the teen sent from Juvenile Hall to 17 News.
On July 7 Reznick said that her mom tried to kill her and she and her boyfriend Nikolai Thorn Roach allegedly fought back – authorities finding Taylor dead with a stab wound to the neck.
The pair were promptly arrested on suspicion of murder and conspiracy, and although Reznick had been abused, she said that the incident left her with mixed feelings.
‘My own (expletive) mom try (sic) to kill me and I did all I could to get her off and my BF (sic) was there and saved my life that morning,’ she wrote.
‘I hate my mom a lot but loved her cuz (sic) she was my mom. I will never ever forgive her for what she has put me through and did to me at the end and all the lies she put me through too.’
At the time of Taylor’s killing, Reznick said the pair had both only been 15, meaning that if convicted they could only be held in custody until they turn 25.
