Two brothers now sit behind bars, convicted of robbery and murder in connection with a Craigslist posting that turned deadly.
Iraq War veteran James Vester died after brothers Tyshaune and Tryon Kincade targeted him in a robbery scheme.
"It has been one of the hardest things," said Walter Vester outside of Courtroom 3.
Twice, he sat across from the men who admitted to robbing, shooting, and killing his son, Jim, after Jim responded to a Craigslist ad for an iPad in 2013. Jim Vester had planned the iPad as a gift to his dad.
"He was just a wonderful person and loved by so many," said Janice Vester, his mother.
In May, 19-year-old Tyshaune Kincade was sentenced to 50 years in prison for Vester's murder. Monday, it was 20-year-old Tryon Kincade in front of the judge, sentenced to 33 years for robbing Vester of his cellphone.
"It's not going to bring Jim back," Walter said, as the hearing came to an end.
The plea deal calls for 28 years in prison and five years of community corrections.
Before signing off on the deal, Judge Sheila Carlisle had strong words for Kincade after learning his response to the crime. Kincade reportedly told staff "it is what it is..."
"That was very hard, so I'm not sure he's learned his lesson," Janice Vester told Eyewitness News.
"You are not quite there yet in being responsible or remorseful," Carlisle told Kincade. "You need to sit and think about what you took away. It is robbery where someone died...It was a life worth living that was lost."
"When he said, 'It is what it is,' I don't think he meant it in a disrespectful way, or hurtful way. Just that there was nothing now he could do to change it," explained Defense Attorney Kim DeVane.
With two guilty pleas now behind them, the Vesters have just one hope.
"We just have to move on. We will never, ever forget and we just have to heal, and just pray that God heals us and the memory of Jim goes on. That's all we can do...and pray for that family as well," said Janice.
Family and friends of the Kincades declined to comment.
Well, the victim’s family will be lucky if these dudes do mush more than 10. Unless they kill the wrong person in prison, they’ll be out by their early 30s.
The only thing more absent in those two than intelligence is conscience.
The Nuffin Brothers - if Obama had a pair of sons, they would look just like the Nuffins...
“It was a life worth living that was lost.”
Versus two worthless lives that, ‘We The People’ get to pay for and pay for and pay for...
(Libtard Voice: Well, that’s the price you PAY for living in a Free Society!)
I am SO TIRED of this sh!t. So very, VERY tired of it. Time to thin the herd. You are either pulling the wagon, or you are under the wheels.
A THUG takes a life over STUPID sh!t like this, they LOSE their worthless life.
Any questions?
There are many lessons in this sad story. One of them is stay away from anything having to do with Craigslist.
December 2013. 18 months.
You realize how fast the Founding Fathers would have taken out this trash?
IN changed the sentencing laws. Most of them have to do at least 75% of their sentence.
Which in this case, is still only about a third of what they should be serving.
God love them, but WE are doomed.
All of their hard work for naught...until the next Revolution! :)
I remember seeing that picture at the time. Nice looking couple and I love how the dog is posing for the camera.
What BS. Murder should equal quick execution. The end.
Look what we have here. Thanks, all you lefty scabs.
“There are many lessons in this sad story. One of them is stay away from anything having to do with Craigslist.”
Craigslist is like any other aspect of the internet, there are evil people everywhere. I hate seeing articles like this because I make my living off of craigslist. I have met and currently am employed by individuals that I met on that site and it has proved to be the best advertising medium for my business (mechanical design).
On the upside, when China finally cashes in and takes over, Tooche and Krylon would already be dead and the family billed for two rounds of standard issue chinese rifle ammunition.
That's an interesting counterpoint.
Unlike responding to posted job advertisements, the people that contact me through craigslit are in most cases the owner of the company, and the primary decision maker.
Human resources = Government intelligence
What is a Craigslist murder? When someone reads an ad in the newspaper and uses the advertiser’s information to find and murder the person is it called a newspaper murder?
