What a horrible way to die. Prayers for the victims family.

So many oxygen thiefs...so few electric chairs.

Morgan, 33, told Garver she then raised up a handgun, and it fired a bullet into Murphy's face.

It.

Don'tcha just love how the liberal media words this crap.

And if her car had been a SUV, it would have burned itself, or perhaps "it" would have run over the lady.

Perhaps the POS that killed the lady did say it in that fashion, but it's a sure bet that she was only covering her own rear and this is the first step to an insanity plea.

Probably won't work, though, as the public has been well educated by the libs on just how often those awful guns jump out of glove boxes or holsters or off tables and just start shooting indiscriminately.

Morgan, 33, told Garver she then raised up a handgun, and it fired a bullet into Murphy's face.

"I didn't intend to shoot her," Morgan said.

In that case, let her go (and write her a check)!

Ha, I didn't notice that. How disgusting. I think I'll write them a letter.

Morgan, 33, told Garver she then raised up a handgun, and it fired a bullet into Murphy's face. "I didn't intend to shoot her," Morgan said.

Of course you didn't. It was that eeeevil gun that intended to kill all by itself.

Morgan also told Garver she was plagued with "screaming and arguing" in her head for some time before the slaying. She said she could hear a voice that sounded like her own mother saying, "I hate you." And Morgan also said she saw the devil for several months before and after she killed Murphy. Morgan has never had a history of mental illness

Who needs a history of mental illness? Nowadays, you just need some "insanity" coaching from your defense lawyer.

It was the gun's fault.

Besides, anyone who listens to the mainstream media knows that homosexuals are harmless, loving, gentle individuals.

It is the angry white male who causes all the trouble.

When she goes to prison I want to see if her name pops up on a pen pal for prisoners site. Got a letter I would like to write her....

God bless and rest the soul of the grandmother who this animal killed. As to the killer....

Morgan, 33, told Garver she then raised up a handgun, and it fired a bullet into Murphy's face.

"I didn't intend to shoot her," Morgan said.

But once Murphy was shot, Morgan said, she had to make sure the woman was dead -- so she shot her once more in the head and once in the chest.

The prayers of the good grandmother notwithstanding, IMHO, the murderer should be executed for this terrible crime.

Poor old woman. Her family must have been frantic for months, only to discover she'd been killed for a stupid car.

What a horrible way to die. Prayers for the victims family.

Horrible for the family, but a quick and, most likely, not painful.

Morgan, 33, told Garver she then raised up a handgun, and it fired a bullet into Murphy's face.

This is what Morgan told Garver; not what the newspaper made up to satisfy its liberal gun-control sensibilities. The perp is trying to use the excuse that the gun went off of its own accord.

[I still care]

"But once Murphy was shot, Morgan said, she had to make sure the woman was dead -- so she shot her once more in the head and once in the chest. "

I have a friend who lost a nephew this way. The creep who shot him said he did it "by accident" but once it was done, he had to make sure he was dead, and shot him several more times.

The funny thing is, at times the family seems to buy into that the guy is telling the truth (my opinion is he MEANT to kill him, and the rest is bs.)

But it is amazing the small things that torture you over a death. It's hard to let go of even the strangest and smallest things. In my opinion, this evil woman is just adding to her torture of the family with this garbage.

But nothing in this article even hints that she is normal.

"I'll pray for you," Murphy then told Morgan.

Well, at least there is one person in the United States that will again see Jesus, face to face. How many of us, when faced with the same scenario, would have the faith and courage this woman showed?

I can only hope that if I were faced with the same dark reality of this kind of death that I would do the same. But who knows. It sounds like this humble grandmother was an amazing woman. Faith and courage indeed...this story moved me.
