Deaf lesbian chainsaw murder shocks US(South Dakota)

Deaf lesbian chainsaw murder shocks US

April 09, 2007

THE trial in South Dakota of a deaf, black lesbian accused of murdering a rival and dismembering her with a chainsaw has shocked the rural midwestern US state. Daphne Wright, 43, could become the first woman sent to death row in South Dakota, which has not executed a prisoner in more than 60 years.

Wright is accused of kidnapping and murdering a heterosexual deaf woman, Darlene VanderGiesen, 42, whom she thought was spending too much time with her girlfriend.

Emotional testimony and gruesome exhibits filled the first week of her trial, and worse is to come: prosecutors are expected to show jurors a video of a pig being dismembered with the same type of chainsaw Wright bought two days after VanderGiesen disappeared.

VanderGiesen's mother sobbed and stepped out of the courtroom as jurors passed around her daughter's charred brassiere on Thursday.

But she managed to sit stoically as a maintenance worker described finding her daughter's head and navel wrapped in bags and bed sheets that other witnesses linked to Wright.

Flecks of VanderGiesen's bone and tissue were found hidden under a coat of fresh paint in Wright's basement, where the smell of petrol lingered days after VanderGiesen's charred remains were left in a nearby dumpster and in a steep ravine 30 kilometres away, police testified.

Ummm, yeah. She just can't hear, it's not like she can't think.

No special privileges. Do the crime, do the time.

The defence has questioned the fairness of the trial because no one in the pool of 150 perspective jurors was African-American.

Just 1.5 per cent of Minnehaha County residents are black.

You can just about count on that "question."

Wonder what the lesbian per cent is.

It's time to ban chainsaws. We must get these dangerous weapons off the street. I propose 'Chainsaw buybacks', a tax on 2 cycle oil, and closing the 'lumberjack loophole'.

I thought for a second the title was referring to a new female punk rock band.

Deaf, black, lesbian. A jury of her peers probably does not exist, even if the entire WNBA was part of the jury pool.

It's probably not true, but years ago I heard a two-part story:

Guy decides to kill his wife. He rents a wood chipper to help dispose of the body. Then he takes the wood chipper back to the rental place. The clerk takes one look and calls the cops. It's pretty clear what the guy has done. The newspapers cover the story.

Second guy reads the story in the paper. He decides to kill his wife. He rents a wood chipper. He disposes of the body. He very carefully cleans the wood chipper and takes it back to the rental place. The clerk takes one look and calls the cops. No one cleans a wood chipper, so it's pretty clear what the guy has done. The newspapers cover the story.

There's a lesson in there, but I don't want to give anyone ideas.

Black, female, gay, disabled? If dhe were only a Muslim, she would constitute a full house of victimization. This calls for nothing less than emergency federal chainsaw regulation.

So, a deaf, black lesbian killed a white heterosexual deaf person - with a chainsaw...

I’m sure when this “woman” gets convicted - Jesse will take the race-pimp-express to South Dakota to protest this miscarriage of justice...

Hell, we may even see Cindy She-Hag. Maybe even Fred Phelps.

Oh, this could even be the next Woodstock.

They could get Garret Morris from SNL to assist with the translation for the hearing impaired viewers.

Garret can also coach her for future parole board hearings:

"I'm gonna get me a chainsaw and kill all the whities I see,
I'm gonna get me a chainsaw and kill all the whities I see.
When I kill all the whities I see, then whitey he won't bother me,
I'm gonna get me a chainsaw and kill all the whities I see.
Then I'll get a white woman who's wearing a navy blue sweater.."

Classic SNL skit.

Should she get the death penalty? Yes. There is too much "Pity me I'm deaf" attributed to the deaf community now. Had a student who went to Gallaudet, killed two students and all he said was "I'm sorry. I just want to go home. I won't do it again." He got life without parole. The (Guam) locals said had been excused for his crimes all of his life.

It’s hard to sneak up on someone with a running chainsaw.

Unless they’re deaf, of course..
