Just terrible, prayers to the family.
But did they buy her a gun and teach her how to use it? A nice simple revolver.
Diina vowed to review the events surrounding the killing and the fact that apparently police didn't find anything amiss after checking the house when the burglar alarm went off.
Interesting factoid buried near the end of the article.
Sickening.
The murderer should be publicly hung.
And the burglar alarm went off and the police looked around and... saw nothing? Then her son says he spoke with her (on the phone) a day later, after she supposedly was dead?
Cue Twilight Zone music.

A needle for the perp and bulldoze the neighborhood as punishment. Damn them all to hell.
This story is among the sickest I've read in quite some time. Seems like every last rotten soul (of which there are evidently many) in this neighborhood targeted this frail, innocent old woman. Very disheartening.
Second degree murder? What would he have to have done to be charged with first degree murder?????
Very sad. She sounded like a nice lady.
For murderers, violent rapists, and child molesters, death on the first offense without exception.

Sickening. The animal who did this should be burned at the stake.
No, a four time looser on the street IS NOT the failure of citizens. It's a failure of the justice system that is SUPPOSED to protect the citizens from such animals.
Did the police arrest the kids who were vandalizing Mrs. Carr's home? Hell no.
Poor Mrs. Carr. Yes she was failed by her neighbors in part as far as the neighborhood vandals go, but the justice system killed Mrs. Carr with it's own hands.
"Don't own a gun folks. Guns are terrible things, but we can put a loaded fellon on the street with no problem at all."
Quote from U.S. Supreme Court --
" Although the armed burglar would present a different situation, the fact that an unarmed suspect has broken into a dwelling at night does not automatically mean he is physically dangerous. "
Link to -- TENNESSEE v. GARNER, 471 U.S. 1 (1985)
The Supreme Court neglects to advise how a citizen can tell.
Justice O'Connor wrote the dissent -- Quote --" I cannot accept the majority's creation of a constitutional right to flight for burglary suspects [471 U.S. 1, 33] seeking to avoid capture at the scene of the crime. "
Is this satire?
Nooooo. The true failure was letting a 4 time convicted felon back on the street. What happened to the 3 strikes rule?
Sickening.
That poor woman! Prayers for her family and all her loved her.
There used to be a bumper-sticker that said, "Soft Judges Make Hardened Criminals". Those words were true then and they are still true today.
In Texas, this scum would have a date with the needle and we wouldn't have to house, feed, and hire appeal lawyers for this worthless POS. But this being Texas, I'd hope the old lady would have had a .44 with her at all times, a great equalizer for the frail and elderly.
