UTICA, N.Y. — A woman accused of taking part in a 14-hour group beating that killed one of her half brothers and injured another during a church counseling session was convicted on Tuesday of manslaughter and assault but was acquitted of murder.

50 Shades of Krazy Church. It reads as though they were all either drunk, high or under influences of group hysteria. At first I presumed this was about an impromtu exorcism. There are quite a few cases of that happening these days.
It’s stories like this that give today’s Christianity a bad name.
Yeah - right down the street from my mother.......
“CHURCH” used fast and loose here.
Would also guess a certain ethnic type of “church” by the name, and also a standalone church as well.
Garbage, all of them.
I’ve been to some church services that have felt like a 14 hour beating.
Really, I can’t believe she is being charged. There was no intent to kill the man. It was all just an extremely carless act. </sarc.>
But but but, have you ever attended a service that felt like your groin was pummeled with an electrical cord?
No?
Join me next Sunday!
