This was the guy for whom there wasn't enough to charge him when the rest of the crew were getting massive charges of murder, torture, rape.

But people didn't give up accumulating evidence, and a trip to the grand jury lead to this trial.

If you don't know the cases, you need to. That Channon was kidnapped, tortured for several days, had lye thrown into everywhere she had been raped and that her eyes were still open when they placed her body in a metal drum, closed the lid where she suffocated.....and there were pictures of her body. Chris was kidnapped, tortured and burned to death.

And the national media didn't notice.

Of course.

Dog bites man isn’t news. Man bites dog is.

Thus, a young white couple being horribly raped, tortured, and killed isn’t “news”.

I remember this one, I had assumed they were already in jail over this. One of the ones I stopped following cause I swear I thought those Dindus were already on death row

I’m curious as to why this guy will eventually be eligible for parole.

Seems like life w/o possibility of parole would be the bare minimum for those crimes.

I believe that was just mandatory sentences for some of the charges. HE still needs to be sentenced for the remainder of the charges.

Utterly sickening.

We need torture as another form of criminal punishment.

They are, but if I'm not mistaken some were granted retrials due to the original judge being a pill head and getting sexual favors in return for reduced sentences

This has been all over the news here lately, but I wasn't living here when it happened and don't remember hearing about it until this recent trial.

It’s the single worst crime I can remember growing up in East Tennessee.


All because they were white.

If your memory is solid about this, not only should he be disbarred he should serve every day for the rest of his life right along side of them.

Could have done without reading that. These monsters deserve so much worse than they're going to get.

That was Judge Baumgartner, and he's now dead. Of "natural causes at 70. and the dude looked early 90s.

The first round of trials had Eric Boyd barely charged with anything. So this wasn't a retrial, but a new trial on additional charges.

The savagery reminds me of this crime I posted the other day.

Happened near Baton Rouge in 2006. All 3 of these guys deserve death for what happened to this guy and girl.

quote:

Garcia was tried and convicted in June 2008 for the murder of Matthew Millican after kidnapping and brutalizing him and his girlfriend at knifepoint in Port Allen.

Garcia, along with his co-defendants, ended up here on a crime spree that started in Florida where they sexually assaulted and murdered a woman in her home.

While running from their crimes in Florida, they stole a travel trailer in Slidell that broke down while they were traveling on Interstate 10 in West Baton Rouge Parish.



Gets horrible. Girl ended up walking in front of a train 3 years later.
