2 charged in pastor's wife killing say little in court

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Two young men charged in the shooting death of an Indianapolis pastor's pregnant wife gave brief answers to a judge's questions Tuesday during their first court appearance since their arrest.

Marion County Superior Court Judge Grant Hawkins entered not guilty pleas for 18-year-old Larry Taylor Jr. and 21-year-old Jalen Watson and appointed attorneys for the Indianapolis men during their initial hearing on murder, burglary, theft and several other charges. The judge also set a Jan. 8 pretrial conference for both men.

Taylor, who authorities allege fatally shot 28-year-old Amanda Blackburn earlier this month, appeared distracted, swiveling back and forth in his chair. Hawkins told Taylor more than once that he needed to respond clearly and audibly to each of his questions about whether he understood the charges, rather than only "yeah." Watson, however, said "yes" and "yes sir," throughout.

Prosecutors said Taylor and Watson entered through the unlocked front door of Blackburn's home shortly after her husband, Pastor Davey Blackburn, left for the gym about 6 a.m. Nov. 10. A probable cause affidavit says Taylor shot Amanda Blackburn three times, including once in the back of the head.

Watson faces a murder charge because Blackburn was killed during a home burglary and prosecutors allege that he was involved in it.

Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry said Monday it was not clear whether Blackburn, who was 13 weeks pregnant, had been sexually assaulted; she was found partially nude. Prosecutors have filed a request with the court that seeks to enhance the murder charge Taylor faces, citing that she was pregnant at the time of her killing.

They’re always real quiet in court.

Remember Penny Chapman, the woman who ordered two of her cousins to shoot up a Septa bus with automatic weapons after she freaked out because a man on the bus had criticized her for spanking her child?

They said that when she was in court she never spoke above a whisper. The judge had to ask her to speak up because he couldn’t hear her.

More black on white crime going unreported. Blacks riot, whites pray and place flowers.

I talked to an Indy detective who watched the two non shooters being questioned. They were rolling on the floor crying their eyes out and spilled their guts on everything - complete confessions. They almost broke the shooter but he never did confess.

Back in the olden days when something like this happened, a section of the city would burn down and the next day(comment removed), but then it would again be safe to walk the streets for years.
