UPDATE: Jason Shenfeld
JASON SHENFELD SENTENCED TO LIFE
by Katie Brace|WPTV Channel 5, Tampa Bay
WEST PALM BEACH, FL — A plea deal in the high-profile murder of a Palm Beach Gardens softball star. Jason Shenfeld (Original PYSIH Story) will spend the rest of his life in prison for the murder of Amanda Buckley.
Eighteen-year-old Amanda Buckley was killed in July of 2007. Her friend, Jason Shenfeld, was twenty-six at the time. Buckley’s body was found in his closet.
According to court records, duct tape was found in Buckley’s hair. She had extensive bruising. Investigators concluded the trauma was so severe Shenfeld intentionally killed Buckley.
Under a plea deal, Shenfeld pleaded guilty to murder, kidnapping and two counts of sexual battery. He will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole. By taking the deal, Shenfeld avoids the possibility of the death penalty if he was convicted at trial.
Bill Johnson, the Buckley’s attorney, says the family is happy with the plea. They didn’t want to take another human life for one already taken. He says the family wanted to put the chapter behind them instead of going to trial and then years of appeals. He says Shenfeld never apologized or expressed remorse to the Buckley family.
Jason Shenfeld’s attorneys say he took the deal because at some point you have to do what’s in the best interest of everyone involved. Attorneys Brian Gabriel and Bryan Raymond say there are hundreds of factors for agreeing to the deal and one of the biggest factors is the possibility of the death penalty if Jason Shenfeld was convicted.
The Buckley family has set up a foundation “Give A Smile To A Child” to help families and children dealing with tragedies beyond their control.
According to police reports, Shenfeld’s father found Buckley’s body stuffed in his son’s closet, wedged between blankets and other objects. The 26-year-old’s father said he noticed his son was acting nervous that day and had been locking his bedroom door every time he left it.
Shenfeld’s father drove to his attorney’s home, leaving his wife to stand guard over the body. Afterwards, Shenfeld’s Dad returned home and called 911 ((Hear 911 Call))
Investigators said they found duct tape in Buckley’s hair, bruises on her body and evidence of rape.
An autopsy revealed the Amanda Buckley was strangled, beaten and sexually abused.

I wonder if the same set of freaks who came out of the woodwork to defend this disgusting animal in the original post are going to show up here.
If there’s any justice in life, thatsmystapler will start a five day argument with the losers. Make yourself useful, thatsmystapler!
LOL!!! A five day argument :-) It’s very possible!!
TBS, I think we successfully eradicated TMS for a short while (I say short, because I don’t think he has the ability to stay away for too long.) He turned out to be an instigating pompous troll.
The Shenfields sound like losers….. a dead body in the closte and the father feels the need to talk to the son first… then call a lawyer???? The father needs to be locked up as well…. I wonder how much evidence was tampered with before the police were called???
Daddy’s sounds like an enabler…….
It’s too bad that Jason os allowed to live….. moer money will be spent on this bastard than on someone who really deserves it…. and the way the country is going, he may be set free at some point if he lives that long…..
I know I would have reacted totally different if that were my daughter, bit I respect Amanda’s family for sticking to their values.
I 100% agree, Fred. Anyone wife who “stands guard” over a dead girl’s body while her loser husband and filthy murdering son ponce off to a lawyer is an asshole too. They are all enablers.
im pleased he didnt get a classic plea deal of “10yrs locked away”, as far as plea deals go, he gt th perfect plea, DIE IN PRISON YOU BASTARD!
Too bad good people have to pay for this worthless murderer to leech off the system in prison, get his three hots and a cot, etc.
Thank goodness this filthy POS is off the streets, but sadly it took the loss of a beautiful young lady to put this psychopath away! My condolences go out to the family of Amanda Buckley. Also, my thoughts are with Jason Shenfield’s two previous victims…..I hope you can move forward in your lives and put the awful crimes that were committed against you by Jason Shenfield in the past…..I wish you both much success and happiness in your lives. RIP Amanda!
Too little punishment for this a-hole. Hopefully someone in prison make him their bitch as soon as he gets in…he’ll get all the rough sex he wants then, won’t he? Rot in hell you bastard…
I think daddy was a decent man who was traumatized byt this also, he didnt want to believe his child was a murderer, how can you, i give him props up for doing the right thing, he called he acted on his best knowledge at the time, he knew she didnt die from an overdose in his heart but tried so hard to think, his child didnt do this, he is a good man…
That is not a picture of Jason Shenfeld, I know Jason Shenfeld. Besides the face the rest of the head is accurate but Jasons face looks nothing like that. Look up his name on google and do a image search and you can see its not him. I wonder if his father switched with him and set Jason free???
You know, I have to agree with you. This guy is much older than Jason Shenfeld is. I wonder why I used it.
Thanks for the tip Jason of Juno, I’ll change the picture right away.
Jason of Juno…that’s the stupidest thing i’ve ever heard. Why the hell would someone want to imitate Jason Shenfeld?
ok i was wrong sorry. anyways I GOT GREAT NEWS ON JASON SHENFELD…HE GOT BEAT REALLY BAD IN JAIL/PRISON. I was looking at Amanda’s myspace and saw a comment from 1 of her friends saying how he had beaten that POS!!!!!!
All of yall can stop tlkin shit i knew jason and amanda. she wasnt the perfect lil angel that everyone sought out to be that bitch was on coke pills and god knows what eles and lyk navycop said jason pulled bitches he didnt need to rape anyone. if only yall knew the real amanda yall wuldnt b sayin all that shit. so all i gotta say is FUCK ALL OF YALL who tryin to put my dwg dwn and for yur fyi he didnt get beat up in prison wtf yall tlkin bout. yall need to get a better source!!!
Yeah….can we get a translation into elementary grade english?
I’m only semi fluent in dumbfuck
Translated into literate English, the long story short version: Amanda was a bitch, Jason was getting enough pussy, so he had no reason to rape anyone so we shouldn’t be blaming him. And he didn’t get beaten up in prison. We should be quiet and get better sources.
I’m reading too much of this site if I’m starting to be able to translate the drivel. No wonder our school system is a pile of shit, the adults aren’t literate so how can we expect the kids to be?
Tiffany as you can see they changed the picture because it wasn’t him. And I know Jason and his Father and Jasons father would do anything to get him out of Jail..Including impersonating him and putting himself in the place of Jason. After all he always covered for Jason and didn’t call 911 right away.. He called a Lawyer when he found the Body. His Father was always protecting him in anyway.
Wonder what happen to Brandon Perry and Vu Nygen on the David Lee and Michael Teidt Murders? I would love to see or here what happen to them!!!
First off yes Jason’s dad is a great man But they do not look alike at all! And no Jay did not get beat by anyone. People love to talk when they don’t know Shhhizit. Trust me when i say he’s doing well and he’s keeping his head up! Now on Brandon Perry front what i’m hearing he is now a little sex slave. From what i now know he Acts, dresses and does his makeup like a women. Vu Nygen was never sent to prison and was let go. But he was never able to stay out of trouble and he is currently serving for a different crime. And i wanna say sorry to the Buckley family the Lee family the Teidt Family and the Shenfelds.
And to Jason from Juno Nobody ever really liked you and you don’t know any of these people to be talking like that. You wanted to hang with us but we sent you home everytime and i was a lot younger then you. Hey, you still have the Jeep???
Maybe the father feels guilty for the way his son is. If you look up his history it shows he is a predator.2002 that robbery he did was when a lady pulls up in her driveway at her house beats her over the head with a cellphone and snatched her purse as she was getting out of her car to go in her house. A real go getter. Those girls he didnt attack a few months prior that where drunk and under the legal drinking age. He was 26. Then this. she was still in high school when they started doing drugs together. who hangs out and does drugs with high school kids when they are 26. a predator thats who. The whole time daddy knowing his son is a go no where loser trying to destroy other lives in his worthless short life. His electrical schooling thank god he failed at that job. That puts him alone with girls in there house. He wont have to wait for them to get out of their car. His dad knew of his drug problem and did nothing knowing he was a threat. I talk to jasons freinds about him I only knew him from quarterdecks in jupiter. A drug addict that has the mantality of a 15 year old convict. Some of his friends say he was a really good guy. I ask how so name one thing he stood for that defined him as a stand up guy. It isnt protecting woman pulling into there house or making sure are youth gets of to a good start or not getting kids drunk and high. it was he had my back one guy said he trusted him with his girl friend yet the girl he raped a few months prior was dating his friend that hung out in abacoa. The whole time his dad knows he is fucking these young girls life up and does nothing to prevent him in stead gives him a place where he is protected while he does it. No job no car lives with mommy and daddy and dates high school girls. There is no doubt in my mind it wasnt premeditated he didnt kill her on purpose. but if i were to error i would error on the side that kept people safe. which is somthing his dad didnt do. he said his life was over but it was over when he stopped holding his son to a high moral standerd and allowed him to be a peice of shit drug addict. No tough love always came to his rescue. aiding and abeding his loserness in hopes that he would change and he did he got worse. His perants didnt want his drug addict friends around in fact at points he was affraid to go home. All the friends that stood up for him also where drug addicts that had very little high moraol fiber mainly thieves and want to gangster drug dealer slash addict. jason is and will always be right where he belongs. He plead out when you plea out you give up your rights to appeals and a jury trial. Thats why I think his lawyer didnt like him. You never plea out even if you are sentenced to death you can come back on an appeal. The funny part is he is appealing his 15 year sentence for a V.O.P. steaming from the beating of a woman in her drive way over 13 dollers. thats funny. I could have got him off of murder 1. in a trial situation if 1 of 12 jurrors couldnt find premeditation and believed that it was rough sex gone wrong he is free. Just one jurror. It would be worth the risk just to beable to come back on appeals again and again and again. and have a jurry to persuade. All that is gone now. thank god. There is no doubt in my mind that he would violate somebody again.
He raped Amanda multiple times and tossed her body in a closet like a pile of garbage. Pretty sure he meant to kill her, regardless of premeditation.
@freedom hunter,your a dumb ass… you have NO clue what your saying. everything you said is b/s! Go hang out at quarterdecks and get more info on dumb ass shit. or go talk to Angela and Kelly. Thats one thing Jason is guilty of and thats dating dumb bitchies! @ Navycop, Jason was with Amanda for a little over a month and
He never had to rape her. Jason never had to rape any girl and im sure you know that. It’s very sad what happen to Amanda but none of you know anything about that night or any other night. get a fuckin life and stop talking about others. now i’m off to take a shit and wipe my navycop clean. Check me out on facebook ;)
