SMH…. Dylann Roof To Face New Competency Hearing Dylann Roof will have a new competency hearing ahead of his sentencing. The murderer who was convicted on all 33 counts in relation to that 2015 Charleston church shooting, will undergo a second hearing to determine if he’s competent to stand trial at his sentencing. Roof, who wants to represent himself during sentencing, was found guilty of nine counts of hate crimes resulting in death, three counts of hate crimes involving an attempt to kill, nine counts of obstructing the exercise of religion resulting in death, three counts of that charge with an attempt to kill, and nine counts of using a firearm to commit murder during a crime of violence. Jurors will decide if he deserves the death penalty or life in prison. USA Today reports: Standby counsel for Dylann Roof, 22, filed a motion under seal Thursday asking Judge Richard Gergel of U.S. District Court in Charleston determine whether the defendant is competent to proceed with the sentencing phase. Gergel granted that motion and scheduled the competency hearing for Monday, a federal holiday, with jurors expected to reconvene for the sentencing phase Tuesday. The motion came one day after a hearing in which Roof again said he would represent himself during the sentencing. He told the court he planned to offer an opening statement but will not call witnesses or submit evidence in his defense […] With sentencing set to begin in five days, Roof again has dismissed the lawyers, a move that prevents them from submitting evidence that he suffers from a mental defect. Evaluations and testimony from mental health experts in the sentencing phase often are considered key factors that might persuade jurors to vote for a life sentence over execution. In court filings, Roof has indicated he will not call mental health experts, reversing a course his lawyers had planned earlier. Hopefully, this murderous trash is ruled competent before his sentencing in January.

Dylann Roof Facing New Competency Hearing Ahead Of Charleston Church Sentencing
When “whoopings” go too far… Texas Soldier Beats Daughter To Death Over Soiled Diaper AS we’ve seen in the past few weeks, when people push the limits with corporal punishment , especially on small children , things tend to get out of hand and babies get hurt . Unfortunately in this tragic case, a father’s “whooping” went way too far and his two-year-old daughter ended up losing her life. Via DailyMail : A soldier beat his two-year-old daughter to death after he became upset that she had soiled her diaper, police have said. Dartarious Graham, 20, has been charged with capital murder after his daughter Peyton was found unresponsive with ‘suspicious’ injuries in his apartment in Fort Bliss, Texas. Police have also charged Graham’s cousin Robert Franklin, 19, for allegedly witnessing the attack and walking away. Graham, a US army specialist, is said to have become enraged and taken the little girl into his room with a belt. According to police, Franklin looked through the door and saw Graham beating little Peyton but ‘actually walked away while the beating took place.’ Investigators said Franklin told them he heard the child continue to be attacked and then came out of the bedroom. The pair called 911 in panic when they noticed the child go limp at 4.50pm on Saturday. Peyton was transported to El Paso Children’s Hospital, where she was pronounced dead an hour later, ABC7 reported. The child’s mother, Elizabeth Graham, 23, who was not home at the time of the incident, has been charged with injury to a child by omission. Investigators learned the father had a history of beating the child and that the mother had failed to protect her and report the abuse, police said. All three are being held in El Paso County jail. Dartarious Graham, whose bail is set at $250,000, could face the death penalty or life without parole if convicted. SMH! Discipline and abuse are NOT THE SAME. People really need to learn the difference and stop with this “my parents did this to me” mentality…

Jesus Take The Wheel: Soldier Beats His Baby Girl To Death With A Belt Over Dirty Diaper
A Phoenix jury Thursday declared that it could not agree on whether to recommend the death penalty or life in prison for convicted murderer Jodi Arias. She was recently found guilty of slaying her lover, Travis Alexander. Jodi Arias, dressed in black, tearfully held her hand to her face as the jury’s decision was read. She has said that she’d welcome the death penalty . She won’t get it from this jury . At least not yet. Superior Court Judge Sherry Stephens set a June 20 hearing to prepare for a penalty-phase retrial. The mistrial doesn’t undermine Jodi Arias’ guilty verdict or murder conviction. This phase is totally separate and devoted only to her punishment. A new jury, possibly in a different city, will be asked to hear testimony only on the penalty issue, unless the prosecutors were to offer her a plea deal. The prosecution announced that it will weigh its options. Should Jodi Arias get the death penalty? Yes. ASAP. No, why give her what she wants?! No, I think the guilty verdict was wrong! No, the death penalty is immoral in all cases! View Poll »
