The family of a teenager accused of murder is seeking character witnesses, and The U.S. Sun exclusively reports her unsettling messages sent from jail.

Sarah Grace Patrick, 17, is the main suspect following the deaths of her mom Kristin and her stepfather James Brock earlier this year.

The couple was shot dead in their bed in Carrollton, west of Atlanta, on February 20, 2025.

Patrick’s younger sister reportedly found the bodies and the teen herself called 911 to report the discovery.

After a long investigation, Patrick was arrested and charged with murder in July.

While she has not yet officially submitted a plea, her family staunchly believes in her innocence. Her father, Doniel Patrick, is standing by his daughter’s side and asking for assistance.

In a new Facebook group, he dad told supporters, “Sarah was able to speak to the lawyers today about the hearing on the 19th.

We need people that know Sarah to write character witness notes and statements about her.

If you would like to do this please I’m begging you write a letter as soon as you can, let me know and I will send it over.

He added that the letters needed to be in to the judge before the hearing, adding, “Thank you all and God bless you all for your support.

Family friend Carrie Jenson has shared screenshots of Patrick’s messages, in which she expressed gratitude to her supporters and, oddly enough, pride in her family.

One of the messages reads, “okay well if i could say anything id say im beyond greatful for the support and prayers and for yall givine me a voice, it means more than anyone could imagine (sic).”

In another message to Jenson, she wrote, “yes maam and it was good news yesterday i love yall and im so beyond proud of you and miss you guys so dang much.”

On August 11, her father claimed prison staff took Patrick to court even though she didn’t have a hearing.

He wrote, “I spoke to Sarah today. Today was a hard day for her. She woke up to them, taking her out of her room and taking her to court that she did not even have. She told them that she did not have court today and they still took her. they shackled her up Ankles and her wrist.”

Took her to the court and made her sit in a tiny cell all day long with the cuffs so now her wrist and her ankles are hurting really bad but she made it through it. She just didn’t understand what was going on.

They shackled up her ankles.”

I think there has to be a better process for things like this. It just doesn’t make sense on a good note. She got to receive her canteen today so she got a lot of the goodies that she likes.

She’s eating well. Or at least as well as she can. She is so happy to have all of you supporting her. Thank all of you. Just thought I would fill you in on her day. Hope everybody is having a good day.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to authorities for comment but did not hear back.

Patrick’s many social media posts after the murders showed her seemingly distraught over the deaths,

Yet they, along with a heartfelt speech at the funeral, reportedly made police suspicious.

Carroll County sheriffs claim they have “mountains of evidence” against the teen.

Dad Doniel Patrick’s full statement on daughter’s arrest

I just want to go on the record and say I know everybody is talking.

Many people were talking about things that they don’t even know. They are just talking and writing about stuff that is completely false.

Taking pictures of me leaving church to go to visit my daughter. If you have time to follow me around walk up to me talk to me I will talk to you.

My daughter is 100% innocent. If you wanna talk to anybody about me and my daughter’s relationship come straight to me. I’m not hiding.

I’m going to work and doing all the normal things that I have to do to support my son. Nobody knows my pain, but I choose to deal with it the way that I have to.

I don’t want all of attention like everybody else. February 21 I had to come home and tell my son that his mother and his stepfather were dead.

It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Until I had to take my daughter to the sheriff’s office, I did not turn her in.

She voluntarily went there because of the warrants.. She has nothing to hide. I’m not the type of person that gets on social media.

I don’t even pay attention to most of it. The only social media I have is Facebook and it’s been ruined by this entire situation.

People are quick to judge when they don’t even have any info. I have as much info as everybody else so where are you getting your info from?

If it’s the media then you all should know how the media portrays everything. It’s not about the truth. It’s about viewership they will say anything.

Some of the stuff that I have seen and some of the media outlets have reported good stuff.

A lot of of them have reported bad stuff without any facts just assumptions and talking to people that don’t know nothing.

My heart goes out to the Brock family and Kristin’s. I will speak when it’s time. Right now, I am trying to focus on my daughter, my children.

Not what everybody else is focusing on believe me I’m living it. I don’t have to see it. To everybody out there that has kids to everybody out there that’s paying attention.

God bless each and everyone of you. I hope that you never have to go through an experience like this.. as Pastor Ben said this Sunday I’m ready bring it on goliath.

Court documents seen by DailyMail.com give an insight into Patrick’s troubled childhood, which suggests her mom and stepdad were often taking drugs.

Her dad filed for divorce from his wife, Kristin, in 2018 after a 10-year marriage, and he demanded joint legal custody of Patrick and her brother, Donnie, with “primary physical custody of the parties’ minor child” and that any visits between his estranged wife and the children be supervised due to her alleged addiction issues.

“The mother has unrehabilitated substance abuse issues and both she and her boyfriend fail to adequately provide a suitable drug-free environment for minor children,” court docs read.

They eventually agreed on joint legal custody, with primary physical custody given to Kristin, and Doniel seeing them on alternate weekends and holidays.

Patrick remains behind bars and will next appear in court on August 19 for her bond hearing.

The teen has been charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault in connection with the deaths.
