Former Rays Prospect Brandon Martin Gets Life In Prison For Murdering 3 People w/ Bat

Former Rays Prospect Brandon Martin Gets Life In Prison For Murdering 3 People w/ Bat

The Tampa Bay Rays 2011 1st-round draft pick, Brandon Martin, has been sentenced to life without parole for brutally murdering 3 people, including his own father...

quote:
Martin was in a Riverside County, CA courtroom on Thursday ... where the same jury that convicted him in only 4 hours decided his punishment.

The jurors spared his life -- electing not to give him the death penalty. Instead, Martin will spend the rest of his life in prison.

The story surrounding the September 2015 murders is disturbing, to say the least.

Martin brutally beat and killed his 64-year-old dad, 58-year-old uncle, and a 62-year-old man the family had hired to install an alarm to protect them from Martin. Officials say Martin used a black baseball bat (with his name inscribed on it) to kill the men.

Ok, I understand getting in on one guy with a bat... but what did the other two guys do, wait for their turn? Its not like you can sneak attack a room full of guys and bludgeon them with a bball bat... Guns save more lives than they take.

Save your life, practice the 2nd Amendment, and purchase a firearm!

Who gives a shite what color the bat was? Police Press Conference: 3 people were murdered today with a bat.... Reporter: Can you tell us more about the suspect, scratch that, tell us more about the bat?

Most media personnel are complete idiots and can't rationalize a damn thing! They ask the most irrelevant questions!

When California ultimately overturns the sentence on some technicality, the Rangers will sign him as a "rehabilitation project". The problem is, the Rangers only have experience with substance abuse cases.

Just goes to show that these younger generations don't appreciate all of those travel ball tournaments and private lessons like they did when I was a kid.
