Harrowing police footage shows the moment a mom-of-two says she wouldn't hurt her sons, despite having murdered them just shortly before.
In November 2023, Tiffanie Lucas went to her neighbor's house and passed out in his doorway.
They called 911 and when police arrived at the scene, the went into Tiffanie's home to find the lifeless bodies of her sons Maurice, six, and Jayden, nine. The two young boys had been shot in the head.

From the off, the mother-of-two was a key suspect in the case and she was quickly brought in for questioning.
Police bodycam footage taken on the fateful day sees Tiffanie speaking to a detective and muttering about her sons playing video games.
She also insisted that she loved her children and told law enforcement that she's 'not crazy'.
"I know I look crazy but I’m not crazy," Tiffanie said in the horrifying video obtained by Law&Crime.

"I love my children. I love my boys so much. I wouldn’t have hurt them but I just felt that I was letting them play the video games and I wasn’t like focusing how I was supposed to, you know?
"Video games and the YouTube and the kids, it just messes their minds up to where people can manipulate their parents or do whatever they want.
"I feel like someone put something upon my house or me or something. I just don’t feel right. I don’t do this. I love my kids."
In a confession that was given after the officer wearing the bodycam left the room, Tiffanie went on to admit to firing four shots in 30 seconds - which she claimed 'as an accident'.
As to why she did it, apparently she'd been 'manipulated through Facebook, through the internet or through Wi-Fi […] into doing what she did', as per Law&Crime.
In recent days, Tiffanie has been slapped with two life sentences after pleading guilty in October to the charges to capital murder.
Speaking at her trial, Regina Rowan, Jayden's grandmother, said directly to Tiffanie: "My heart is in pieces, and you know that you have always had a place to drop them off.
"You took [Jayden] from me. And I hurt every day, every second of the day, I hurt. I want you to suffer just like I'm suffering right now."
Kentucky’s criminal justice system allows Tiffanie to be eligible for parole in 20 years.
