Velazquez told the "Today Show" that she has been subjected to bullying and even death threats in the aftermath of the case.
Sharon Chanon Velazquez, who was sentenced to two months of probation in connection with the bullying-related suicide of South Hadley teenager Phoebe Prince, told the "Today Show" recently that she's no bully.
"I was trying to help out a friend, and people don't understand that," Velazquez told NBC's Ann Curry. "And I want them to know that and they're going around saying things that aren't true and saying that I stalked her and that I bullied her, and that wasn't the case at all. We argued."
Velazquez's probation ended this month because, as The Republican reported after her sentencing, the Juvenile Court's dominion over her no longer applies after she turned 18.
In May, Prince's mother, Anne O'Brien said in a victim impact statement that Velazquez's age prevented "any reasonable sentence of court supervision."
Velazquez told the "Today Show" that she has been subjected to bullying and even death threats in the aftermath of the case.
