An 86-year-old Korean War veteran died earlier this month days after he was beaten and stabbed during a violent home robbery.
Carroll Jordan of Chickasaw, Ala., was attacked on Jan. 27 and died 12 days later as a result of complications from surgery.
Considering the brutal nature of the crime, two of the suspects charged in Jordans death DeAngelo Terrell Smith, 21, Yasmine Munnerlyn, 19 sported some curious grins in their mug shots.
The third suspect, and Carlos Nottingham, 20, had a more somber look in his official police photo. The three, who have reportedly had past issues with the law, allegedly broke into Jordans home to commit robbery, WKRG-TV reported.
According to Opposing Views, they attempted to steal a flat-screen television and a wedding ring.
A fourth person, 18-year-old Robert Campbell, was also arrested, but charges were later dropped as there was no evidence he was involved in the home invasion.
Smith, Munnerlyn and Nottingham were initially arrested and charged with attempted murder and burglary, but after Jordans death, they were accused of capital murder.
This latter charge was dropped following the results of an autopsy.

May they cheer up their future inmate buddies.
Let me guess. The victim was white. How close to the truth am I?
SCUM.
As the legendary Bob Grant used to say: ‘I hope these boys get everything that’s coming to them’.
I strongly share that sentiment.
I agree & I sure miss Bob Grant.
“May they cheer up their future inmate buddies...”
Indeed.
Something's queer about the coroner's logic.
If they hadn't stabbed him, he wouldn't have needed the surgery that killed him. What, the savage beating he took didn't raise his blood pressure enough to aggravate the aortic aneurism?
How are they not responsible?
In their minds, they’re “rock stars”. In reality, they’re assholes.
Those cheery smiles will brighten everyone’s day at Holman.
Stoned & Stupid,Stoned & Stupid,Not as Stoned/Still Stupid & I know I’m gonna be somebody’s B!tch soon.
I agree. I don’t know how many times that an assault charge has been upgraded to murder because the comatose victim has died years or decades later.
Apparently, the surgery preceded the attack. It may be hard to say if he would have lived absent the attack, but it is possible that the attack did not contribute (significantly?) to his death.
My legal training consists of watching Law and Order, but as I understand it, if a person dies as a result of a medical mistake made in treating an attack, the attacker is still guilty of murder. If someone gives you a black eye, and the doctor in treating your black eye kills you, the doctor is guilty of malpractice, but the attacker is guilty of murder. The coroner is claiming that that is not the case here.
I doubt we will be seeing round the clock non-stop coverage of this on HLN like they covered the Dunn trial..remember, when blacks kill whites its not a “Crime” only when its the other way around there is “Outrage”
Thanks for the clarification.
