A Forestville teenager pleaded guilty Tuesday to fatally stabbing a 92-year-old neighbor who had acted like a grandmother to him and then making off with her credit card and cash last summer, authorities said.
William Fitts, 16, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, first-degree burglary and theft in the killing in August of Thelma Steele, authorities said.
Prosecutors said that Fitts stabbed Steele several times with a pocketknife after the two argued about family issues and that he then left her for dead on the couch in her home. Her body was not discovered for several days, after Fitts’s family became concerned that mail was piling up at their elderly neighbor’s house.
The crime shocked the neighborhood near Forestville and District Heights where Fitts and Steele lived. Family members on both sides said the two were close. Steele, they said, watched Fitts grow up from the window of her home on East Avenue and often bought him toys and gadgets for Christmas and his birthday.
For his part, Fitts would often stop by Steele’s house with fruit baskets, cookies and tea, family members said.
But one day in August, prosecutors said, Fitts stabbed Steele several times with a pocketknife. He told detectives that the two had argued about family issues and that he returned sometime later to take Steele’s purse, cash and credit card.

God through Moses in Deuteronomy was pretty specific about keeping order and keeping evil out of society by removing such elements permanently.

It sounds crazy, but he made several odd visits to Hawaii leading up to the election.
I hope there are comfortable hotels in town for Rev Al and Jesse to stay in during their visit.

I wouldn’t be suprised that in some jurisdictions in the near future a black person will be able to assualt someone white with no legal repurcussions. It must be hell to be a Democratic voter in a crumbling city and not be able to afford the insulation that the elite afford themselves.
That's the reason why we need a Savior. Jesus didn't die for us because H was so impressed with our lovable goodness. He died for us because we were so incorrigibly sick, selfish, stupid, wicked, and clueless, that He knew that only the most extreme intervention possible would save us.
"For when we were yet helpless, in due time Christ died for the ungodly... God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
It's as exceptionless as you can get.
He exercised his ‘right to choose’ and so he chose the ‘Death Panel’ solution for this elderly lady. Didn’t even need a blue or a red pill— a savings to taxpayers no less. Surely there is a career path for him in the new ObamaCare Administration__probably as a death panel facilitator.
Another brave son of Obama.
Drive him to the tree and nowhere else but the tree.
