Martinez was taken to court on Friday, where she was charged with five counts of malice murder, five counts of murder, and six counts of aggravated assault.
While at the court, photographers snapped pictures of those arrested. Martinez turned to the cameras and started smiling.
Throughout the process, Martinez made many odd gestures to the photographers. She waved, gave a thumbs-up, and even waved her finger ‘no’. It was a truly disturbing sight, considering the woman was being charged with murdering her family. You can find several of these photos here.
