At least one of the suckas had the good sense to just plead guilty… You may remember late last year we reported on the death of a young Georgia teen named Bobby Tillman that was stomped to death outside a house party. There was only one taker to Douglas County District Attorney David McDade’s offered to abandon plans to seek the death penalty in the stomping death of Bobby Tillman so the prosecutor will move ahead with his plans for a capital case against the three remaining defendants. McDade set a Wednesday 5 p.m. deadline to the four accused of attacking the 18-year-old last November to agree to plead guilty to murder to avoid a death penalty trial for the vicious assault on Tillman. Only one of them took the offer. The attorney for Emanuel Boykins, 18, told McDade on Tuesday Boykins will plead guilty later this month to felony murder. McDade said Wednesday none of the other three said they would plea. “After reviewing all the evidence and conducting my investigation and meeting with Mr. Boykins … we decided he did not need to go to trial and risk a death sentence,” defense attorney Jason Swindle said. “He wants to take responsibility for the terrible thing that happened. And he’s contrite.” When Boykins pleads guilty to felony murder June 29, the malice murder charge will be dropped, Swindle said. As for the rest of youse, we hope you understand what you’re gettin yourself into. This was a totally senseless killing and the death penalty is definitely comin’ fo yo a**!! Source
