What's new: Jury selection was set to begin on Monday morning for 22-year-old Darriynn Brown's capital murder trial for the death of 4-year-old Cash Gernon.

Instead, Brown pleaded guilty to a lesser murder charge and was immediately sentenced to life in prison.

He does have the possibility of parole.

4-year-old Cash Gernon Murdered

Darriynn Brown (2021) The backstory: Brown was charged with capital murder, as well as kidnapping and burglary, in connection to Gernon's death.

In May 2021, Gernon's body was found stabbed to death on Saddleridge Drive, eight blocks from his home in a southwest Dallas neighborhood.

"The sweetest little boy. He loved everybody," Cameron Mori told FOX 4 in a 2021 interview.

Mori’s mom had been taking care of Cash and his twin brother. She was friends with their father, who left them with her. Their mother was not around.

Police arrested Brown the same day the child's body was discovered. An arrest affidavit indicated that DNA evidence and video captured on a baby camera during the kidnapping linked Brown to the crime.

I think prison justice is a myth except in one area..if a white guy did this to a black kid his life would be over probably in days.

“Perhaps Prison Justice will assert itself.”


Or perhaps he may gain stature due to his crime and his victim.

“What does a person have to do to get the death penalty around here?”
You have to be white.

I know it’s trite but just reverse the situation and imagine the outcry.

Put the savage with his back against a wall and shoot him.

Yes, like the aftermath of the George Floyd case.

Headline:
Man charged with stabbing Derek Chauvin 22 times in prison.

Followup: He survived the attack and has since been moved to a different correctional facility.

You should have seen all the riots when the news of his being assaulted came out.

Oh, wait. Serenity and quiet.

I sincerely hope this guy gets early parole………in a casket after some well deserved and extremely violent prison justice by his fellow inmates.
