You won't read about this on any liberal board, that's for sure. No reason to make those poor victims (i.e. the perps) suffer more than they already have.
Three hurricane evacuees were charged with capital murder Saturday in the strangulation of Betty Blair, a 77-year-old church leader, mother of three daughters and the widow of former Pasadena school board President Robert "Bob" Blair.
----Sickening. That poor woman.
I'm so glad they are 18.
At least there is a chance of the death penalty.
Nailed it. That's why I'm opposed to the death penalty.
Keep your eyes on them and don't let anything of value lying around. Use only bonded contractors. You may get the homeless guy or illegal cheaper, but remember that you get what you pay for!
Guess which one will get the death penalty.
Guess which one will get a prison sentence.
Guess which one will get off lightly.
Astute observation. Let's watch and see.
Bad news for them. Murdering an old woman in the county that sends more people to death row than any other in Texas.
Several families in my parish took in Katrina evacuees. I said it was dangerous, foolish thing to do and this terrible story just confirms that. If you want to help give money, volunteer in a shelter but don't take strangers into your home.
The woman might get off with a life sentence but neither male suspect has a good chance of escaping death row.
Besides, to me she looks like a Subic Bay tart, and a thug to boot. "Hitting it" would be the last thing on my mind as far as what I would like to see done to that b-tch.
Bump!
OMG.
Words fail me.
The car was located through OnStar, an onboard electronic tracking system.
Chock one up for the benefits of "privacy invading technology" ;)
And if not, they have 60 long years to look forward to with Big bubba...Hope they dont like to sit...
They ought to be - all three of them - tied to posts and die by garrote for their complete betrayal of another human being culminating in their robbery of Mrs. Blair's life.
No jail. No warehousing of their worthless carcasses for the next fifty or sixty years. Let them pay for the life they took with their own lives forfeiture.
She actually looks a lot like Jimmy - look at the eyes and the nose. I bet she's his sister or a relative and Jacobo was a name acquired from a marriage.
I agree with you.
Harris County (Houston) will not forgive this one.
God rest this poor lady's soul and comfort her family.
FEMA has prohibited at least one Sheriff [and probably all the others as well] from doing criminal background checks on the evacuees.
Certainly we all want to help these people; but, please, be very careful not to endanger your own safety in the process.
Draw the line at inviting someone unknown to you [or to someone you trust] into your home. Your first obligation is to your own safety and the safety of your families.
Find another way to help ... through your church, or through the Red Cross, Salvation Army, Southern Baptists, or some other organized group.
Is it, perhaps, the county that has more murderers to send to death row, as well?
