Jets report card: Talk was cheap
According to Cosmopolitan, on the morning of January 24, 2019, Radford city police were called to the apartment shared by Radford University students Luisa Ines Cutting and Alexa Cannon. When Luisa opened the door, she was covered in blood, and immediately urged the police to arrest her, saying, “I killed her.” People reports that Cutting proceeded to give police a disturbing series of rambling statements, claiming to have done “cocaine with the devil.” She also recited a prayer, referred to the apocalypse, and attempted to fit her fist inside her mouth. Her attorney later called it a psychotic episode triggered by drug use — Cutting admitted that in the hours prior to the murder, she had indeed taken cocaine, as well as mushrooms, Adderall, Xanax, marijuana, and alcohol.
Heartbreakingly, The Herald Sun reports that Cutting and Cannon were seemingly very close. Cannon frequently posted about Cutting on her social media, describing her as her “best friend.” Cutting responded by writing “I love you so-so much” to one such post. Hauntingly, Cannon had posted, “Pray that we don’t kill each other this year,” a few months before her death.

Cutting pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 20 years in jail for the murder, and offered a simple apology to Cannon’s family, saying, “There are no words for this tragedy, and my heart is filled with sorrow and grief. … I am so, so sorry.”
