This is just... appalling.

I really have to question the truth of the castration and chemicals, etc, but if they are true, they're far, far sicker than your average gangbanger.

Just... just sad.

Holy shit how can you actually think this? I understand being appalled sad, and very angry, but should we have killed all of the Germans and Japanese after World War 2 as well?

death penalty trials cost more than other trials. they are far more demanding, more rigorous. this is simply a fact of all (afaik) state court systems.

What an unpleasant necro thread to finish my exams to.
I can't help but to get riled and try to point the blame at someone or something, but I think, straight up:
1) This was a hate crime, most likely of racist origin.
2) These guys were mentally insane, or really fucked up on drugs
3) The least likely considering all of the perpetrators were caught in the most unsophisticated way possible, this was act of establishing 'street cred' or some motive like that. If anything, this option is giving them too much intellectual credit.

I'm interested in the finer details though... Like why this couple? Was there a previous altercation? I'm from the South, and I know that alot of white Southerners were raised by parents stuck in the 18th century, which creates a cycle. Not trying to blanket, but it's an established fact that I've witnessed AND experienced time and time again.

Why so gruesomely? Even disregarding the rape and mutilation, why multiple bullets? An proper analogy would be the difference between slitting someone's throat and stabbing them 19 times. One is methodical for the purpose of killing while the other is filled with passion and emotion. Which leads me to think that it's tied to a previous meeting, or even passing-by, where the couple may have done something to trigger the response...

I don't know. This is my way of trying to make sense of something that makes no sense. Tragic...

i'ma take the stand on the side on vengeance in this case, and most cases like it. Having completely nothing to do with race or any sort of background associated with this case (i.e. upbringing, enviroment or any sort of affiliations) but having to do purely with the actions and attitude that resulted. I believe they should be severly punished, I mean like back in the old days where they would drown would-be witches, or have the community 'stone' criminals publically. May sound cruel by todays standards, however, I do only mean for this instance or others like it obviously, not for something like self-defense murder or a more common hold-up scenario where someone tries to rob a gas station or something and a murder comes of it.. but in this more intense, vile and reprehensible scenario where the end result was pre-meditated.

I can't possibly see the argument to "let justice come of it" or "let the justice system do its work", we all know that its flawed, almost hopelessly. Our Justice system has been known to not find the evidence neccesary in some cases to convict clearly guilty parties due to some loophole or trickery in lawyer debates and some cases where rapists can go free in 5-7 years, which is insane..
Those who agree and think that the justice system is doing its job sufficiently by letting these wastes of space occupy area in prisons are crazy.. Letting 5 adults spend the rest of their lives in prison, being fed and being a burden in the world is a waste of time. If one person was to shoot an officer, while trying to escape from a high speed pursuit, u can rest assured that he'd be put to death, but perhaps spending 10+ years behind bars (because the system is sooo slow to do anything about this, theres ppl being on death row for almost 20 years before they actually see the death penalty, in which they almost forget what they've done to get to that point by then). But these assholes kidnap, rape and murder two innocent contributers to society, life and the pursuit of their own happiness, they get to spend the rest of their life in prison.. and thats supposed to make up for it?

I know the argument, that the theory of an eye for an eye would leave us all blind, but again, I don't mean in every situation but almost definately in any and every case that merits the death penalty.. Sometimes you have to set examples that such things won't be tolerated, and even though cases or situations like this might still happen, those responsible can be sure that when they're caught, they're won't be any mercy and the 'hammer' of justice will fall quickly and powerfuly

... World War 2... how many million dead again?....

Well, this sort of crap happens ... But interestingly enought, most of Tragic events happen in a culture that has been raised in a certain matter.

For instance: In Spain, most of the tragedies are males killing their Wife/gilfriend. If ever see how males behave with their wifes outside cities, its not much of a surprise that when those try to leave them, they do something crazy and stupid.

99.9% of the times its the parents fault. If you give you children a good education, a decent moral value system, etc... Its very hard that something like that should happen.

But if you take somone who lived in an envoiroment that created the situation for this.... shit happens.

Finally, If i was the admin of this Webpage, id probably delete this thread. This is after all a gaming comunity, with underage people, and this is not something they should be reading about (they will get enought of this crap in tv news anyway).

I can't help but imagine the plight the victims go through in cases like these. The hopeless unfairness, depravity and horror of it all. It kills me. Just got out of a class discussing communication theories, some relatively high-level thinking led by a brilliant instructor. When I read this it just sends all that thinking out the window, back down to my basest level, rage, hate and loss.

Then when I calm down a little, and think about the power structures that create the contexts for these events to take place, I get more and more hopeless and don't know how to act meaningfully. I guess ill play some video games

Yes go Texas,Rick Perry was happy to execute that innocent fella and the other guy that had a mental illness wrongfully.Besides executing a human being costs 4x more than him being held forever in a prison.



Hell Yeah Go Texas!! Hmmm, execute an innocent man? No no my friend.. only people found guilty of a crime can be executed. If they are innocent and can't provide enough evidence to show it than it's to bad for them. (I've been found guilty of a felony I didn't commit) Proving you didn't do something after you're dead isn't fast enough. Mental illness man.. he killed two people and put someone else in chair for life. Did he have a illness? Yes, but then was too late to use this excuse AND the Supreme Court denied his appeal. Rick Perry didn't kill anyone. The people of Texas found whoever guilty.

Executing cost so much because of one thing, Bleeding heart pussies. If there weren't so many appeals or red tape and just a rope and a gallows than it wouldn't be very expensive would it? And, what do you.. in Brazil, care if we here in Texas execute a criminal? Would Brazil be ok with a exchange program where we send our violent criminals there to live in exchange for them getting the fuck outta our state? The criminals would fit right in the the corruption and crime in Brazil. Maybe you guys should be trying to get Perry as your president to clean your country up instead of mock us for enforcing the consequences of breaking our laws.

Are we happy to execute people? No, I'm never happy when someone dies. I am happy when justice is served. What was done to these two poor souls is anger-inducing to me. The people who committed these acts are animals, the only problem is we as humans can't give these filth the punishment they deserve.

Well, at least "you" kinda tried, dropping bombs and nukes on civil cities with the intention to kill civilians", wasn't that a form of retribution too? Also I dont think ALL the Germans and Japanese were murderers, not even the soldiers. Or would you label a soldier a murderer? Also most of the real Nazis that did the murderings in the KZs and their supervisors did get the death penalty.

So i dont know if you are trolling or what but that comparison is kinda off.

It's more of a burden to the state if they're found guilty and put to death. It costs roughly 1.5 to 2 million dollars to put someone to death because of the required appeals, lawyer fees, and everything else involved in the process. However, it's only roughly $20-25,000 per year in jail. So let's take Davidson, who is currently 30. If he lives for 40 more years while in jail for life, at $25k it'll cost the state 1 million versus 1.5-2 million if they wanted to put him to death. Furthermore, you act like spending life in prison is fun. Rapists, especially brutal acts like these, often have an incredibly hard time and I imagine these young men will have a much more difficult time than most other incarcerated individuals.

the defendants in this case (which were already sentenced) are getting a retrial. the decision was made on dec. 1, 2011. the presiding judge was addicted to, i think, prescription drugs at the time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom

Channon Gail Christian, 21, and Hugh Christopher Newsom, Jr., 23, were a couple from Knoxville, Tennessee. They were both raped, tortured and murdered after being kidnapped early on the morning of January 7, 2007. Their vehicle had been carjacked.[1][2] Five suspects were arrested and charged in the case. The grand jury indicted four of the suspects on counts of murder, robbery, kidnapping, rape and theft. Three of those arrested, Letalvis D. Cobbins, Lemaricus Davidson and George Thomas, have been convicted on multiple charges including several counts of felony murder. After a jury trial Lemaricus Davidson was sentenced to death by lethal injection and Letalvis Cobbins and George Thomas were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Vanessa Coleman has been convicted of facilitating the crimes and sentenced to 53 years in prison, and Eric Dewayne Boyd has been convicted of federal charges as accessory after the fact to carjacking and sentenced to 18 years in prison.[3]

On December 1st, 2011, new trials were granted to the defendants due to drug abuse by the presiding Judge.


http://www.snopes.com/politics/crime/newsom.asp

In December 2011, the convictions of Lemaricus Davidson, Letalvis Cobbins, George Thomas, and Vanessa Coleman were overturned by a special judge who ruled that the presiding judge at their trials, Richard Baumgartner, was intoxicated at the time. The four defendants will be facing new trials.


This one of those times where I'd be fine if they were all shot and that was the end of it. Seriously sick shit they did.


Yep. Give me a gun and I'd do it myself. Enraging story. Some people don't deserve a second chance.
Normally I would just not agree with this. I wouldn't want Breivik killed, but this is even worse. These people lost their right to be human. Kill them in the exact way they killed their victims. At least Breivik just shot people.

The United States had a prominent eugenics program. You should really think twice before trying to be clever with comments like these.
