Ho Sit Down: Ohio Mom Convicted Of Cooking Baby In The Microwave Wants A New Trial

So the baby climbed in the microwave by herself? Mom Convicted Of Microwaving Baby Wants New Trial China Arnold, 33, the Ohio mother serving a life sentence for murdering her 28-day old daughter by placing her in a microwave to cook her in August 2005, is seeking a new trial, which would be her fourth in this case, reports CBS News . Via NewsOne reports: Arnold’s defense attorney, Christopher Thompson, argued that multiple errors were made in her previous trials and she should receive another one without the death penalty as an option. Read more from CBS: Arnold, 33, was already tried three times, with the death penalty a possibility each time, in the murder of her daughter, Paris Talley. Her first trial in February 2008 ended in a mistrial and her second trial ended in September 2008 when she was found guilty but the jury could not decide on the death penalty. Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Mary Wiseman imposed a sentence of life in prison, but that decision ultimately was overturned on appeal in November 2010. Arnold’s third trial ended in May 2011 when she was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after a jury did not vote for the death penalty. As previously reported by NewsOne, Arnold’s second conviction was overturned by the Second District Court of Appeals in Dayton after the prosecution’s star witness admitted she lied when she testified that Arnold had confessed to putting her baby in the microwave. How about building a human size microwave and putting her in it. Continue reading

Nutso 18-Yr Old Hits Mom With Bat Then Stabs Her In The Face 79 Times… Then Walks Downstairs Like Nothing Happen! [Video]

Isabella Guzman was told by police hours before the murder that she had to respect her mother or she would be thrown out of the house. An 18-year-old from Aurora, Colo., sent her mother an email that said, “You will pay” the day before she stabbed the woman 79 times, an arrest affidavit filed Friday revealed. Isabella Guzman and her mom, 47-year-old Yun-Mi Hoy, often fought, but her stepfather, Ryan Hoy, told authorities that the teen had recently become more “threatening and disrespectful.” His worried wife showed him an email from Isabella on Wednesday morning that said, “You will pay,” and she later called the police saying that her daughter “had threatened to harm her,” Denver’s 7NEWS reported. Ryan Hoy told police he heard a thumping sounds coming from upstairs while he was eating dinner on Wednesday night. He also heard his wife, who was taking a shower, calling his name, so he rushed upstairs and tried to push his way into the bathroom. He could still hear the shower running, and saw Isabella before the teenager shut and locked the door. youtube 7news

People Aint Isht: Woman Arrested After Hiring Hitman To Kill Her Husband In Exchange For $60,000 In Rare Stamps And Jewelry

She must have really wanted him dead . Woman Hires Hitman To Kill Husband You know times are hard when people are paying in stamps to murk people. According to The NY Daily News She went postal. A Manhattan woman was arrested Thursday for hiring a hit man to kill her husband in exchange for $60,000 in rare stamps and jewelry, the Daily News has learned. Elena Sava-Adams, 57, allegedly wanted banker husband Irving Adams to be run over by a car because of an argument they had over finances. The Israel Discount Bank of New York bigwig told police he’s been unemployed for five years, law enforcement sources said. “She’s at war with her husband over money,” a source told the News. The ruthless woman went to an intermediary, telling him she wanted her hubby to be lured to Brooklyn because she figured there would be fewer surveillance cameras there than in lower Manhattan, where the couple live. He told her the hit man would cost her $10,000, which she “upgraded” to a valuable jewelry and German stamp collection since she didn’t have the dough. SMH…..but there’s more…. But instead of cashing in on the postage labels and baubles, the intermediary went to cops at the 61 Precinct on Monday and disclosed the psycho spouse’s plans, the sources said. Detectives sought the help of an investigator in the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office who has experience playing a hit man in multiple cases. A meeting was set up Thursday in a parking lot in Sheepshead Bay – which Sava-Adams chose because her mother-in-law lives there – and they got in the undercover’s car and drove to Shore Road to discuss the murder, sources said. Little did she know, the meeting was being taped, and she was arrested as soon as the incriminating statements slipped out of her mouth, sources said. She was supposed to tell the hit man in a couple of days when she wanted the murder carried out, but instead she’s being questioned at the 61 Precinct station house. Investigators believe the batty wife would have collected his insurance money, but it’s unclear how much Irving Adams is worth. Having someone ran over by a car because of finances is extreme.

Christopher Lane Murder: Racist Tweets From One Teen Suspect Uncovered

James Francis Edwards, one of three teens charged in the killing of Christopher Lane, posted racist Tweets on his account, according to a new report. One tweet from him reads, “90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM.” Another reads, “Ayeee I knocced out 5 woods since Zimmerman court! :)” The Daily Caller says “woods” is a derogatory term for white people. Christopher Lane Murder Suspects Charged Edwards and Chancey Allen Luna, 16, were charged with first-degree murder as adults Tuesday and are being held without bond in Duncan, Oklahoma. Bond was set at $1 million for 17-year-old Michael Jones, who allegedly drove the vehicle carrying the suspects accused of murdering Chris Lane . Jones is considered a youthful offender but will be tried in adult court along with his cohorts. Jones named Luna as the gunman, police said. The “thrill kill” slaying of Lane shocked the nation due to its random nature – the trio allegedly admitted they did it “for fun” and because they were “bored.” Police Chief Dan Ford said the victim, 22, appeared to have been “targeted” at random after he jogged by a house where the teenagers were. Australian Lane was on a baseball scholarship at East Central University and was in Duncan, Okla., visiting his girlfriend when he was shot and killed. Some bystanders tried to perform CPR on a dying Lane, but he was unconscious and had stopped breathing before an ambulance arrived. Prosecutor Jason Hicks called the boys “thugs” in court as he detailed the senseless murder they allegedly carried out at the end of last week. Edwards has had run-ins with the law previously and had been in court Friday, the day of the killing, to sign documents related to his juvenile probation.

SMH: Black Boys Who Shot Baby Accuse White Mom Sherry West Of Setting Up Murder For Insurance Money

They always blame the Black guy … Black Teens Accuses Sherry West Of Murder Plot Via Daily Mail reports: Defense attorneys are set to strongly suggest that the real killers of a toddler brutally shot to death in his stroller were his parents, who had a financial interest in his death – and that their 18-year-old defendant who goes on trial this week is not guilty. Antonio Santiago had learned to walk, but not yet talk, when he was killed March 21, six weeks after his first birthday. He was strapped in his stroller, out for a walk with his mother a few blocks from their apartment near the Georgia coast, when someone shot the boy between the eyes with a .22-caliber bullet the size of a garden pea. De’Marquise Elkin, 18, who has been charged as the shooter, is scheduled to stand trial next week in a courthouse far from the scene of the crime. Kevin Gough, a public defender who is Elkins’ lead attorney, has strongly suggested in pretrial motions that the real killers are the child’s own parents. ‘Other evidence of record suggests Sherry West is mentally unstable, gave several inconsistent accounts of how the crime transpired, and had a financial interest in the death of her son in the form of an insurance policy,’ Gough said in a court motion filed August 5. Defense attorneys have said in court filings they have audio recordings and documents showing the child’s mother had dealings with Gerber Life Insurance Co. According to its website, Gerber Life sells life insurance policies for children starting as early as infancy. Coverage runs from $5,000 to $50,000. Ashley Glassey, West’s 21-year-old daughter, told television station WTLV of Jacksonville, Florida, soon after the shooting that her mother called her after Antonio was killed and asked, ‘How soon do you think the life insurance policy will send me a check?’ This story has sounded fish from the jump! What would two thugs really get out of shooting an infant? Unless the parents put them up to it for some cash and expected to never get caught. Hmm…. Continue reading

Texas Woman Convicted Of Killing Up To 46 Infants To Be Released From Prison After Only Serving 1/3 Of 99 Year Sentence!

What type of bullisht is THIS?!? Texas Woman To Be Released After Convicted Of Killing Up To 46 Infants Via ABCNews A nurse convicted in 1984 of killing an infant and suspected of murdering dozens more will be released from prison without completing her 99 year sentence because of an expired Texas law that grants a “mandatory release” to inmates with good behavior. On May 14, 1984 Genene Anne Jones, now 63, was sentenced for the murder of 15-month-old Chelsea McClellan in 1982 in a small-town pediatric clinic where Jones was a nurse. “I was holding Chelsea, she was facing me, and Jones gave her the first shot in her left thigh. Immediately Chelsea had trouble breathing. Chelsea was trying to say my name, but she couldn’t. I was extremely upset,” Petti McClellan, the victim’s mother, told ABC News. Jones began injecting the child with a lethal dose of the muscle relaxant succinylcholine while the baby was still in her mother’s arms, according to McClellan and court records. Jones was also convicted of injuring a child in another attack in which the child survived. She was sentenced to 60 years on that conviction, but it was ordered to be served concurrently with the 99 year sentence. Ron Sutton, the criminal prosecutor who won the murder conviction, estimates that Jones is responsible for the deaths of between 11 and 46 infants in Bexar County from 1978 and 1982. “I was present when all the investigators were adding up the numbers and, 11 to 46… I can confirm that that’s what it was,” Sutton told ABC News. WTF?! McClellan was meeting with Texas State senators in the early 1990s when she discovered that Jones would be scheduled for early release. “A congressman came up to me and as I told them Chelsea’s story he stopped me and asked when Genene Jones was sentenced,” McClellan recalled. He then told McClellan he would be back in a minute and left. “When he came back he looked upset and he told me, ‘We have a problem’,” McClellan said. “That’s when he told me Genene Jones would not serve her full sentence. I couldn’t believe it.” “I was stunned, sad, and so, so, angry. Probably the angriest I have been since Chelsea died. This makes no rhyme or reason. Not just for me and my family, but anybody who suffered. There were so many other victims,” McClellan said. “This is going to happen. There is nothing we can do. Nothing I can do,” Petti McClellan, continued. “This has nothing to do with the parole board, the courts. Genene Jones is going to walk free.” Jones will be released because of a Texas law called Mandatory Supervision. Enacted in 1977, the law allowed all convicted criminals to be automatically released on parole after they complete a certain amount of calendar time and good conduct time, which includes participating in work and self-improvement programs, according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice parole and mandatory release guide. This lady might just want to lay low, just because she’s 63 now doesn’t mean people don’t wanna murk that a$$! Image via ABC Continue reading
