I heard, from a fairly credible source (detective type), that this case was NOT a racial crime, but a payback crime for something that happened in prison.

Is this person a detective? In Kansas?

I could accept this if I had ever heard anything of the sort about it. That the media hasn't brought it out is on a par with the original story where certain info about the perps was not included either.

What I find hard to believe about it is that there had to be a relationship between the perps and the victims for that to be true. Do you know of such a relationship?

I took the original post to be referring to the Jasper, Tx case (where James Byrd was dragged behing a pickup).

There appears to be nothing to suggest that the Carr brothers knew any of their victims in the Kansas case ... or that any of the victims had served time (which is what would seems to be the implication if Paradox was talking about this case)

Mind you, my reading of the Texas case is that Byrd was picked up at random, and the murder was the result of a drunken fight.

Oh well ...
