Arkansas Anchorwoman's Face Shattered 'Like an Egg' During Attack
Foxnews ^ | 11/11/2009 | Staff

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — One blow ruined her smile and others crushed the middle of her face, but the attack on television personality Anne Pressly didn't end until after her jaw was forced to the back of her head and cut off blood flow to her brain, a medical examiner said Tuesday.

Prosecutors rested their capital murder case against Curtis Lavelle Vance, 29, after testimony from the state's deputy medical examiner, who spoke about Pressly's final moments of consciousness.

Vance, of Marianna, has pleaded not guilty to murder, rape and burglary. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.

Defense lawyers questioned crime scene technicians about where they did — and did not — find blood, and asked Police Chief Stuart Thomas whether officers explored multiple theories. He said they had.

DNA specialists initially questioned by prosecutors were recalled to the stand to discuss genetic evidence gathered at the scene that didn't have a match.

Justice would be doing the same to the perp.

Not a hate crime. Not ever. Move along. Nothing to see...just another dead ‘typical white person.’

Well, the man is obviously a victim of racism and could never get a fair trial. Therefore we should all together forgive him, set him free, and sing Kum ba ya. That is the fair and equitable thing to do. Besides, like that art teacher at Columbia who was sucker punched by the black professor, McIntyre, she probably deserved it (I am going to be struck dead by God for my stupid satire). Truth is, America had better wake up to the reverse racism that is bubbling to the surface.

Justice would be doing the same to the perp.

But how do we know the accused is the perp? "This is a terrible crime and therefore the defendent is guilty" is a favorite tactic of prosecutors with a weak case, after all.

I'm not saying he isn't guilty - I don't know if he is or not. But I do know that grisly details like these belong in the sentencing phase, after the defendent has been found guilty.

Details are necessary to get the conviction, no matter how awful or graphic, as they prove the elements of the crime.

Anne had a bit part in “W”. Oliver Stone hired her because she looked like Ann Coulter.

Imagine the increased correlation in that graph if the executions were performed within a year of the crime.

Imagine a further increased correlation if they were also public.

One thing I don’t like is the fact that there is emphasis she was such a good looking woman white woman

Such be just as much outrage if she was ugly and black

Ditto on the Columbia prof assaulting the Columbia worker in a bar.
