Gangland executions were ordered from jail to silence this couple. Now, a reckoning.

A former government prosecutor says the gang murders of Doug and Debbie London showed an unprecedented level of “contempt” in Charlotte for the rule of law.

This week, the law strikes back.

On Tuesday, the two Charlotte gang members who planned and carried out the Oct. 23, 2014 killings will be sentenced to life in federal prison without parole. The punishments for Jamell “Murda Mel” Cureton and Malcolm “Bloody Silent” Hartley were preordained in September when the pair pleaded guilty in the case to avoid a death-penalty trial.

Doug London fired off one shot before his gun jammed. Hartley shot him, then fled to a waiting car. He stopped when he heard Doug London sobbing. Prosecutors say Hartley returned to the home, saw London crying over his wife’s body and shot him again.


I don't remember Obama commenting on this crime while in office.

This does not seem to address the fact that a hit can be ordered from prison.

It is really sad that a life sentence will be considered only because of the death sentence appeals process taking so long. I say pull out Old Sparky, give them a seat and buckle them up.

life in federal prison without parole

Translation: until there is a Democrat President to pardon them.

And does it miss the fact that two guys living on our dime for a long time to come does not equal two people dead?

This is incredible.

A fairly recent study (as aired on Lars Larson) concluded that 10 murders are discouraged by one execution.

So taxpayers will be paying for these worthless slobs for 50+ years. It would be much cheaper to let them back on the street with the stipulation that they can never be armed. Two years max.....

re: “. . .the two Charlotte gang members who planned and carried out the Oct. 23, 2014 killings will be sentenced to life in federal prison without parole.”

And I bet they continue to run the gang from inside the prison. How is this justice??? This is why Hell exists.

Were the couple paid to protest and if so be who? Maybe the payer should be prosecuted as well??

After reviewing the article(s) on this [I remember reading about this a while ago], I would argue that the Criminal Jesters System bears a great deal of the responsibility for the murders.

The orifices of the court knew that these dangerous predators were a threat to civil society.

Well, it's a good thing that Doug and Debbie London paid their taxes like good little peasants. Just look at what they got for their hard-earned tax dollars - bullets in the face from ferals.

Am I the only person that thinks this, “sentenced to life in federal prison without parole.”is one hugh Crock of S—t!
If the crime is worth these terms then it deserves the Ultimate! To house, feed, clothe and provide life sustaining efforts is a complete waste of resources.
I’m a dog lover, never met one I didn’t love. If I had a Dog that was a threat to society I’d put it down.

Our laws need to be rewritten so that certain offenses actually require capital punishment.

Gun jammed. The poor guy probably read a selfdefense thread on the FR and decided to buy an autoloader.

Doing what's necessary doesn't get your tax dollars spent on the "law enforcement" vig, peasant.

We could ask Doug and Debbie London what they got for THEIR tax dollars.

Oh, no, we can't...
