I have, however, never considered breaking into someone else’s property and certainly would rather starve myself than kill another person.

On June 23, 2008 Daniel Sonnex, 23, from Deptford, South London, must have found himself in such an emergency situation, although one may suspect it was more the cravings for drugs that drove him and not the need of necessities. He broke into an apartment in South East London that was rented by 23-year-old Laurent Bonomo, one of two French students who had been awarded biochemistry scholarships in the U.K. “Dano” managed to steal a laptop that morning, while Bonomo was taking a shower.

Detective Chief Inspector Mick Duthie, who was leading the investigation, said:

“A black Packard Bell laptop was taken during a burglary that took place between 5am and 6am on the morning of June 23. Someone entered the living room of 12 Sterling Gardens and stole the computer. Bonomo said he was in the shower when he heard a suspicious noise. He found the window of his living room forced open and his laptop was stolen.”

However, the earnings these items brought Daniel Sonnex did not last very long, so he returned to Bonomo’s flat six days later. This time he took his friend, homeless drug addict Nigel Farmer, 33.

High on a mix of alcohol, pot, cocaine and XTC, the two men had first attempted to break into the home of EastEnders (a popular soap in the UK) actress Laila Morse earlier that night, but then remembered Bonomo’s residence.

It’s not clear if Nigel Farmer and Daniel Sonnex used a key Dano could have stolen during the first robbery, but somehow they managed to enter the flat without leaving any signs of forced entry and surprised both Laurent and fellow scholar, Gabriel Ferez, who had been spending the night on Bonomo’s settee, while the two students were sound asleep.

What happened next must have been of unthinkable cruelty. The level of violence has led to speculation that the killers were also on crack cocaine when the bio-chemistry students were slaughtered.

Crispin Aylett QC (Queen’s Court), prosecuting attorney, said:

“They must have thought that all they had to do was co-operate while the burglars helped themselves to what they wanted and it would soon all be over. Whatever the burglars may have had in mind, the young men could not, for a moment, have anticipated that they would then be subjected to such an attack – otherwise, you may think, they would have fought for their lives …”

Bonomo and Ferez were tied up and tortured for more than two hours. Describing the ‘almost unimaginable horror’, prosecuting attorney Aylett said:

‘The two men, dressed only in their underpants, were tied up. They were bound at the ankles and wrists.

‘Their heads were wrapped in towels or cloths and they were subjected to an attack of brutal and sustained ferocity.’

Nigel Farmer and Daniel Sonnex started out by torturing Bonomo with knives for his bank card PIN numbers, which he gave them without much resistance. Farmer then kept them captive while Sonnex left the flat to get money out of the ATM. He returned with a few hundred pounds taken from Bonomo’s account. Farmer then handed Ferez’s bank card and PIN number to his buddy Dano who headed out again to clean out Ferez’s account.

While he was babysitting his hostages, Farmer phoned Sonnex’s brother Bernie.

Bernie overheard Nigel Farmer at the other end of the line, “screaming, ranting and raving”, and telling someone to, “Shut your fucking mouth or I’ll cut your hand off.”

For one reason or the other, Sonnex was too stupid or too high to remember Ferez’s PIN number and the card was swallowed by the machine. OK fair enough, you messed up, now go back, apologize and take off with what you have. Nah, not our smart Dano boy- Dano got very angry with himself, he possibly kicked the bank machine in an attempt to hurt someone else for his stupidity…then Dano headed back to the flat to “take revenge”.

Upon his arrival back at the flat, Daniel Sonnex immediately began stabbing both students repeatedly. Bonomo was stabbed 196 times. Think about that. Daniel Sonnex stabbed Laurent Bonomo one hundred and ninety-six times.

Go get a butter knife and a pillow. Now stab the pillow with the butter knife 196 times, as hard as you can. Count it out – 1, 2, 3, 4…..25, 26, 27…..56, 57, 58…..77, 78, 79…..104, 105, 106…..129, 130, 131…..149, 150, 151…..170, 171, 172…..194, 195, 196.

Wooh, that’s a lot of work, isn’t it?

Later, during the trial, the jury heard sickening detail of how Mr. Bonomo tried to defend himself with his hands during the ‘prolonged, determined and very violent attack’ in which he was stabbed in the head, skull, face, neck, back, chest, stomach and thighs.

He “just would not die”, Farmer told a friend afterward. He was stabbed in the head seven times, and four of the wounds penetrated the full thickness of the skull. One theory is that Sonnex and Farmer forced Mr. Ferez, who was stabbed 50 times, to watch Mr Bonomo being tortured. The prosecution said the students were eventually killed at about 8AM.

Sonnex and Farmer then fled the scene with just 360 pounds, two mobile phones and two handheld Sony PSP computer game consoles. Farmer allegedly went back at 10pm and set fire to the flat – badly burning his own face and hands in the process.

A week after the incident, when police issued an composite drawing of the suspect, Farmer walked into a police station and turned himself in.

But the receptionist “did not know what to make of it” and he was asked to wait in line. Farmer then walked up to the booths and said ‘I’ve just killed two fucking people and the police don’t fucking want to do anything about it’ – after which he was led away by an officer.

Sonnex is claiming that he only acted as a lookout for the burglary, and that “a friend” handed him the bank cards from the window and he then went to the cash machines. However, as the jury was told, Sonnex’s palm print was found inside the flat.

During his opening statement, the prosecuting attorney told the court:

“This was a joint venture from the time that Nigel Farmer and Dano Sonnex went out on to the street looking for somewhere to burgle, a joint enterprise, you may think, of unmitigated evil.

Aylett also told the jury they would have to “brace themselves” for the photos of the crime scene. Although the attacks might appear to have been carried out by “psychopaths”, neither of the accused had suffered from significant mental illness. The court was shown CCTV footage of the two accused together on the day of the murders.

On June 4th, 2009, Nigel Edward Farmer And Daniel “Dano” Sonnex were convicted of murder, false imprisonment and arson.

On June 5th, 2009, both defendants were given life sentences; Daniel Sonnex was jailed for a minimum of 40 years for the murders and Nigel Farmer was jailed for a minimum term of 35 years.

Editor’s notes: Looks like the United Kingdom suffers from many of the same problem with their justice system as we do here in the United States. Overcrowded Prisons, overworked probation officers, dangerous prisoners accidentally released early, a police department so overwhelmed by red tape that they no longer can do their primary jobs of arresting criminals.

This case is a perfect example of of what I’m talking about. Daniel Sonnex, who was serving an 8 year sentence for for a series of violent robberies and stabbing a teenager, was released early and under limited supervision because he was not classified as a high risk dangerous offender.

Some of the reasons this happened boggle the mind. From the British online newspaper The Telegraph:

At one meeting to discuss his release, not all the available documents were presented because an office printer was broken, probation chiefs admitted. Further meetings inexplicably failed to take place and he returned to the streets under limited supervision.

Only two days after being set free he held a pregnant relative and her boyfriend captive at knifepoint, demanding money for drugs. The relative refused to press charges, and his probation officer, a woman with just nine months experience in the job, only gave him a formal warning, instead of violating him on the spot.

This chart, which was published in the British newspaper The Telegraph, covers all the errors made by British authorities while handling Daniel Sonnex’s release from prison:

The excuses that were repeated over and over always involved understaffed government agencies. So, you may ask, why aren’t we hiring more probation officers and policeman. “There’s no money for that,” is always the answer. But why is there always a few 100 billion dollars lying around whenever a banking industry or an automobile industry need a government bailout?

I can name dozens of cases just like this one from the crime annals of the United States – we all can. The fact that it continues to happen to this day has to make us wonder if we are the only people who care.

This Story Was Written And Submitted By PinkFlower. Super job for a first effort, especially considering English is not her first language. She is German and living in the United Kingdom. I admire the hell out of her for submitting a story in a second language, and doing it well. I have a hard enough time doing a story in English as my first language, I don’t think I’m brave enough to try what PinkFlower did.

When John Allen Rubio and Angela Camacho of Brownsville, Texas met in 2001 it began a chain of events that ended with an event that would rock not only the city of Brownsville, but the entire state of Texas. And given all the wackiness that goes on in Texas, that’s saying a lot.

Angela Camacho was born in Mexico and illegally immigrated to the United States. She settled in Brownsville and had a child with one man and then became pregnant again by another. When she was about one month along in her second pregnancy, she met John Allen Rubio.

According to Rubio’s confession, he did not care that she had children with different men, he accepted them as his own referring to Julissa Angela Quesada as his daughter and when Angela Camacho gave birth to a son, he named the boy after himself.

Less than a year later, Angela Camacho became pregnant again and gave birth to daughter Mary Jane. The blended family moved into a ramshackle apartment which had once been a cement block grocery store in Brownsville.

John Allen Rubio grew up in Brownsville surrounded by superstition, dysfunction, drug abuse and alcoholism. According to Rubio, both his mother and grandmother were practitioners of witchcraft, as well as long term drug users, alcoholics and prostitutes.

He told investigators that his mother began pimping him out at a young age, so he followed in the family tradition of being a prostitute, at his mother’s suggestion. It beat flipping burgers at McDonald’s.

John Allen Rubio had a few run ins with the law over minor drug charges and was diagnosed with some emotional problems, none of which prohibited him from completing his high school education and participating in the ROTC program.

But according to friends and associates, John Allen Rubio had a nasty habit – huffing; Inhaling the fumes from spray paint, solvents or other common household chemicals in order to get a quick, but often lethal, high. Long term users of inhalants often suffer from severe depression, mood changes, weight loss, lack of coordination, irritability and in some cases permanent brain damage and death.

Angela Camacho was not known to use drugs or inhalants, but she was also not considered to be the sharpest knife in the drawer. She was a follower who usually went along with what ever someone told her to do. The one thing that they both shared was being born into and raised in abject poverty.

During John Allen Rubio’s first trial, Lorena, a transvestite and prostitute who was born Jose Manuel Hernandez, testified that on the morning of March 11, 2003, she stopped by the apartment that she shared with Rubio and Angela Camacho. When Rubio opened the door, Lorena became concerned because it was obvious to her that Rubio had been hitting the spray paint hot and heavy.

When she tried to enter the apartment, John Allen Rubio stopped her saying, “my old lady tried to kill herself last night. Right now, we are going to kill everyone.” Lorena told the court she became concerned and scolded Rubio, telling him that he shouldn’t talk like that around the kids. Rubio pushed Lorena out of the doorway and slammed the door.

Lorena pounded on the door and demanded to be let in, but Rubio refused. Lorena recalled for the court that she was frightened of John Allen Rubio because when he was under the influence he was often volatile. Hernandez left the apartment, fearing that Rubio might attack her.

Around 7:00 p.m. that night, Officer Efrain Cervantes was responding to a domestic disturbance call at another address when a terrified young man and woman flagged his patrol down. The couple, Maria Elena Alvarez and Jose Luis Rubio (the younger brother of John) were hysterical.

Officer Cervantes stated in his report that Maria started screaming in Spanish:

“The babies are dead.”

While Jose yelled:

“They have no heads.”

Officer Cervantes asked the young couple to get into his patrol car and take him to the scene so he could try and figure out what the hell was going on. While in route, both of the witnesses kept crying that:

“They have no heads.”

“They have NO HEADS.”

“NO HEADS”

The couple directed Officer Cervantes to a run down apartment building where the young man took the officer to the door of the Rubio apartment. When John Allen Rubio answered the door, Officer Cervantes asked him what was going on. Rubio invited him into the apartment and just kept muttering, “the kids.”

Officer Cervantes observed that the apartment was filthy with dirty clothes and garbage strewn throughout the front room. He saw Angela Camacho sitting on what appeared to be a futon and staring at the floor. Rubio went to the futon and sat next to Angela. When John Allen Rubio’s brother yelled at him, “tell him,” Rubio looked at Officer Cervantes and said, “the kids are in the back room.”

Officer Cervantes made his way through the garbage to the back bedroom. He said that the hallway had a very strong odor of bleach. When he looked into the bedroom, at first he thought that a doll had been thrown on the bed, until he realized that it was the nude body of a small child. And indeed, he had no head.

He said:

“I just saw the jagged marks around the neck and then I realized that that couldn’t be a doll or anything.”

Frantically, Officer Cervantes reported the murder-decapitation and requested immediate assistance. No shit. I mean if I saw the dead body of a naked baby missing it’s head, I think that I would be screaming for the fucking Marines to land.

Officer Cervantes stormed back into the front room of the apartment and yelled at Rubio, “What happened?” John Allen Rubio just sighed deeply, stood up, put his hands together and said, “arrest me.”

Not a problem asshole.

Showing what I believe to be considerable restraint, Officer Cervantes calmly ordered everyone out of the apartment and placed John Allen Rubio in handcuffs for his own protection.

What investigators found inside the Rubio apartment defied even the most horrific slasher film Hollywood ever produced. Police Chief Carlos Garcia said:

“They lived in very poor conditions. There’s clothes, trash, all sorts of things thrown all over. Very poor, very trashy … in the worst conditions that anyone could live in the United States.”

Garbage littered the apartment; bags, toys, shopping carts, empty water bottles and clothes were piled into every nook and cranny, leaving little room for police to navigate the crime scene. Brownsville Police Department Investigator Chris Ortiz said about entering the bedroom for the first time:

“I wasn’t sure if it was a human being until I touched it.”

Baby John’s body was lying at the foot of the bed, devoid of blood. Officer Cervantes said:

“We go back to where the baby boy was found. And at that point the house was in disarray. It was dirty everything was dirty and dingy. But there was a plastic bag that I hadn’t seen the first time I walked in. It was at the entry of the doorway, towards the foot of the bed and that bag was like shiny a black trash bag. It looked like a brand new bag like it had just been placed there. It felt round. This has got to be the baby’s head. And I kind of reached over there and I was able to get to the bag, and it opened. I mean, I opened the bag and I could see that there were two other bodies in there, headless as well.”

Think this poor man has had nightmares about what he saw?

The bodies of 3-year old Julissa Angela Quesada and 2-month old Mary Jane Rubio were found stuffed inside a garbage bag, hidden behind the crib. The children’s heads were found inside of a separate garbage bag.

Investigators described the bloody scene as “horrific.” There were numerous blood pools and stains in the kitchen and on the floors. A bucket full of bloody water. Bloody knives in the kitchen and bedroom. Other Detectives found the bloody clothing that both John Rubio and Angela Camacho were wearing at the time of the murders soaking in the bathroom. As they continued to collected evidence from the scene, everyone began asking the same question, “why?” Dear God, WHY?

When John Allen Rubio was interviewed by police, he calmly and coherently explained the events that transpired on the evening of March 10 and 11, 2003. He said it began with the children’s hamsters. He became convinced that the hamsters were possessed by demons. He went to the cage where they were kept and he said that they were growling because evil spirits had entered them. So he smashed their heads with a hammer.

While John Allen Rubio was pouring bleach on the bodies, 3-year old Julissa saw what he was doing and began screaming. I don’t know about you, but if I saw the man I considered to be my father killing my pets, I would probably begin screaming too.

John Allen Rubio said that, “she started talking in like, demonized — like, she was looking at me, like, weird,” he said. He claimed that Julissa was possessed by the spirit of his grandmother. Julissa began growling and screaming at him claiming that she was Grandma who had come back from limbo and stolen Julissa’s soul. He believed that all of the children were possessed by demons.

“Julissa … my daughter … was telling me that she came from limbo. Julissa started to laugh in an evil way and started making growling sounds to me. The other two babies … started to talk and say things like three witches. They were talking to each other…”

John Allen Rubio and Angela Camacho became terrified of their children and Angela began screaming for him to kill them. Rubio said that he began choking Julissa, but she wouldn’t die. So Angela ran into the kitchen and retrieved some knives. He said that Julissa was shaking and yelling at him, “you are killing me.”

Julissa kept trying to manipulate his mind with bad magic. That was when he threw her on the floor and began stabbing her. But she kept trying to get away from him because her magic was too strong. Julissa looked at Angela Camacho and said, “Mom, please make Dad stop.” Angela then held the child down with John Allen Rubio grabbed a machete and cut her head off because of course that is the only way to stop a possessed 3-year old.

John Allen Rubio said that after he cut her head off, Julissa bled all over the place with blood gushing out of her. Angela Camacho then picked Julissa’s body up and took it into the kitchen where she washed all of the blood off. She filled a bucket with cold water and placed the severed head into the bucket. Julissa’s autopsy showed that she had 12 stab wounds on her face and neck with an additional 21 stab wounds across her chest. He then nailed the back door shut to prevent any evil spirts from coming in or leaving.

John Allen Rubio then turned his sights on 2-month old Mary Jane. According to Rubio, she was practically foaming at the mouth, growling and spitting at him. Sounds like something out of the 1974 horror film, ‘It’s Alive.’ He grabbed her and began choking her really hard, but the little witch just would not die.

Rubio said that he thought that he had stabbed her in the head (he had stabbed her with enough force to break one of the vertebra in her neck) but he wasn’t sure. She was so strong and powerful that he had no choice but to cut her head off. He tried the first time but the knife wasn’t sharp enough. He couldn’t find the machete because he believed the witches had made it disappear. So John Allen Rubio grabbed her head and “with my hands ripped her head off from her body.

It was very hard but I managed to pull her head off.”

OK friends and neighbors, let’s remember that this is a 2-month old infant he is talking about. Two fucking months old and the bastard rips her head off of her body. That is a serious ‘WTF.’ Angela Camacho took Mary Jane’s body into the kitchen and washed it off. Then tossed her head into the bucket along with Julissa’s.

Even though John Allen Rubio admitted he was getting tired (of course the asshole is going to be tired – takes a lot of Wheaties to decapitate two defenseless children) but he had to deal with little Johnny.

Now there is some confusion and conflicting reports as to when John Allen Rubio killed Johnny, so I am taking this straight from his written confession. Rubio said that when he confronted 1-year old Johnny, he could just feel the evil oozing out of the child. About the only thing that little Johnny wasn’t doing was spitting pea soup all over the place.

John Allen Rubio said that Johnny was the strongest of the three children and possessed the strength of Satan himself. He explained that Johnny was trying to cast spells and spewing incantations at him and Angela. He said that it took him and Angela Camacho both to hold the child down.

John Allen Rubio tried sprinkling the baby with water, but it had no effect. I guess he thought Satan wouldn’t know the difference between tap water and Holy water. He says that he never stabbed Johnny, although the police video of the crime scene clearly shows stab wounds to the 1-year old’s body. The video shows that Johnny was stabbed multiple times, including just below his testicles on his right leg.

John Allen Rubio says that he used a larger, sharper kitchen knife to cut off Johnny’s head. Angela, ever the dutiful mother, took Johnny’s body into the kitchen, washed it and dunked his head into the bucket with his sister’s heads. Rubio said that he and Angela Camacho then began trying to clean up the mess. They tried soaking up the blood soaked into the carpet and wipe down the walls.

He placed Julissa and Mary Jane’s bodies into a plastic bag and hid it behind the crib while placing their heads in a separate bag and tossing it under the bed. But John Allen Rubio and Angela Camacho were tired. So they took a shower together to wash all of the blood off of them.

He said that after the shower, the two of them went into the front room to relax. Did they call the police? A Priest? Anyone? Nope, nope and nope. With their children’s bodies lying in the next room, John Allen Rubio and Angela Camacho fucked. Rubio told Angela, “we should make love for the last time because we were going to jail.”

John Allen Rubio sounds like a really deranged individual to me; someone so nuts that he has absolutely no idea of what he has done and that it was wrong. He told Angela Camacho that he thought they should dispose of the bodies in the backyard of his grandmother’s house because she was a witch and could control their evil power. I wonder if that was the dead grandmother or a living grandmother, as he was never very specific about that little detail.

They then laid in bed the rest of the night and throughout the next day until Rubio’s younger brother came to the apartment. Oh yeah, and according to Rubio, his brother and his brother’s girlfriend were both possessed by evil spirits as well. Good thing they were not helpless babies or their heads would have ended up in a bucket too.

So John Allen Rubio butchered three innocent children because they were evil. He told them that he “did what is right to save the world and that he has supernatural powers.” Sounds unfathomable, but unfortunately not that rare. It’s the old “The Devil Made Me Do It” defense.

And what about Angela Camacho? Initially, she somewhat corroborated Rubio’s fairy tale. She told investigators that the children had been sick with a fever for several days before the murders, and that they were scared and had refused to eat.

She said the day before the murders, a woman they saw while riding the bus gave Johnny a piece of candy. John Allen Rubio believed the woman had cast a spell on the children, making them sick. Rubio then demanded that Angela Camacho break an egg in a glass of water, and the way in which the egg yolk floated told them that someone had done something bad to Julissa.

The night before the murders, Angela Camacho said that John Allen Rubio’s mother came to the apartment and they all discussed using witchcraft to help the children. She admitted to holding all of the children down while Rubio stabbed and decapitated them. She said of the infant:

“Mary Jane started staring right at my eyes, real bad, like with anger, and evil at the same time.”

But when investigators questioned her a second time, she told a slightly different story. She started the interview by saying:

“I would like to start saying that yesterday I told the detectives that witchcraft was the reason that John and I killed our children. That was not true. The reason that we decided to kill the children was because of money problems.”

Angela Camacho told investigators that the family had no money for rent and that their welfare and food stamp benefits were about to end because Julissa’s social security number did not match the one on her birth certificate. They were facing eviction from the rat trap that they called home and none of John Allen Rubio’s relatives were going to let them stay with them.

Angela Camacho said that she and Rubio discussed the dire straits that the family was in and decided that it would be “better for the children to die than to suffer.” When John Allen Rubio told her that he wanted to cut their heads off, Angela asked him why. She said that he told her:

“Because . . . we had no money. No way to take care of them. It is better that they go with God.”

Yeah, that really answer the question of “why do you want to cut off their heads?” Angela Camacho said again that they killed the girls first, and about two hours later they decided to kill Johnny because they did not want him to suffer alone.

They had planned to put the bodies in a shopping cart and bury them at the city cemetery then escape into Mexico and start over. When investigators asked Angela Camacho why she would go along with such a heinous and appalling plan she said:

“because we were afraid. I didn’t want to lose my husband again, since he had gone to jail before. I was afraid because I had never been in jail before.”

When asked if she thought that they were going to go to jail, Angela Camacho said, “Yes, because we did something wrong.”

So this cum bucket helped murder and decapitate her children because she didn’t want to lose her man. Just makes me sick.

John Allen Rubio and Angela Camacho were charged with three counts of capital murder making both of them eligible for the death penalty. I’m sure that all of you are aware that a death penalty conviction in the state of Texas usually means that before too long, you gonna die. Texas has tried to put in an express lane to the needle, cutting the time that inmates sit on death row.

Motions were made and granted to try Angela Camacho and John Allen Rubio separately. The problem was that Mexico had a slight problem with Texas attempting to execute one of their native daughters and filed complaints not only with Texas but with the Federal government. Texas spent two years trying to determine if Angela was legally competent to stand trial in a capital case and in the end, the courts ruled that she was.

Given the heinous nature of the crimes and the fact that she confessed, Angela decided that maybe, just maybe, it wasn’t worth standing by her man after all. In July of 2005, Angela Camacho pled guilty to three counts of murder.

Angela Camacho was sentenced to three concurrent life prison sentences instead of the death penalty, but will be eligible for parole in 40 years. If she is ever granted parole, she will be immediately deported back to Mexico. Angela has stated that she prefers to stay in prison in the United States, even if it is in Texas.

John Allen Rubio, however, was not in such a confessing mood. He and his attorneys insisted on going to trial, claiming that Rubio (wait for it…….) was innocent by reason of insanity. SHOCKING! And just in case Rubio wasn’t insane, his attorneys also proposed that he was so far under the influence of spray paint fumes that he didn’t know what he was doing or appreciate the seriousness of the situation.

During his first trial, John Allen Rubio testified that he used an array of drugs, including marijuana, spray-paint and “roaches” or flunitrazepam — a medication commonly referred to as the “date-rape drug,” which induces “memory impairment, drowsiness, visual disturbances, dizziness, confusion,” among other effects, states the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s Web site.

John Allen Rubio testified that from the moment he first saw Angela, he would do anything to “make her happy, until the last moment of my life.” I guess that included butchering her children because she asked him to. He insisted that the whole thing was Angela’s idea. The jury didn’t buy his excuses, convicted him and sentenced him to die.

Unfortunately, there was a slight procedural error committed during John Allen Rubio’s trial. Angela Camacho refused to testify against Rubio. So prosecutors admitted into evidence her video taped and written confessions. But according to the Texas Supreme Court this was a big no-no. Seems that every accused has the right to confront all witnesses in their trial. And since Angela would not testify, Texas must now start the whole thing over.

Now the fun part – because they had to start over, that included proving that John Allen Rubio was sane. Of course Rubio’s defense team presented expert after expert during the competency hearing to try and convince the judge that Rubio was crazy for Coco Puffs.

My favorite was Jolie Brams, a forensic psychologist who stated that John Allen Rubio suffers from a delusional disorder. She testified that Rubio also suffers from a learning disability, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and of low intelligence. She said this could impact his ability to consult with his attorneys. Basically, she is saying that Rubio is to stupid to kill. Right. Sure Doc, whatever you say.

There is only one itsy, bitsy, teeny tiny problem with that. While Rubio has been in prison, it seems that John Allen Rubio has become the “go to” guy in filling out forms and requests for fellow inmates. He has also been reading law books, law dictionaries and researching specific legal cases. It seems that other inmates wanted to meet Rubio so he could provide them with legal advice.

I’m not sure about Texas, but it doesn’t seem to me that any inmate would want some whack job giving them legal advice or helping them fill out forms. Most inmates are pretty savvy when it comes to determining who is floating with a full deck.

But Brams stuck to her guns stating that if John Allen Rubio had actually done the legal reading and researching, he “still cannot comprehend legal documents you claimed he is reading.” Just makes you want to smack her doesn’t it? Maybe she wouldn’t mind if Rubio did a little babysitting for her.

In the end, the court determined that John Allen Rubio was as sane as you or me and the trial could proceed. It is scheduled to begin in July. This time, Angela Camacho will be testifying against him. Texas is again seeking the death penalty.

John Allen Rubio and Angela Camacho are now pointing the finger of blame at each other, saying that it was the others idea to kill the children. Neither is accepting responsibility.

And yes, John Allen Rubio and Angela Camacho had previously been referred to the state child protective agency because the children were found to be malnourished and needed medical attention, but the parents weren’t accused of physical abuse. CPS said it had counseled the couple before concluding three months before the deaths that the couple was making progress in providing a home.

Yup, John Allen Rubio and Angela Camacho provided them a home alright. Three tiny caskets for the rest of eternity.

Now I know that there is a lot of occultism within the Mexican culture. Hell, I’m only one generation removed from paying the Ferryman. I have my own superstitions that have been handed down from one generation to another.

Like throwing a pinch of salt over your shoulder if you spill the shaker, planting lavender by your front door for luck and hanging wind chimes near your doors to ward off evil spirits. And I’m not saying that possession by evil spirits isn’t possible.

I just don’t see evil spirits using three babies. I mean how far could some evil entity go in the body of a 2-month old. The poor little thing can’t even hold up it’s head yet. Can’t wreck a lot of havoc when you wear a diaper and drink from a bottle.

I also don’t believe that John Rubio is nuts. I think that Angela Camacho may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but that she was more terrified of being without a man in her life than keeping her children alive with their heads attached. Whether or not Rubio is insane does not excuse his behavior in my opinion.

Maybe John Allen Rubio was hallucinating when he killed the children because of the amount of shit that he inhaled. But when the police arrived, he did not appear to be under the influence of anything. I think that he was just sick and tired of taking care of the kids. He wanted to take Angela Camacho and go frolic in Mexico free of the responsibility of three innocent young lives.

Sure, John Allen Rubio had it tough growing up. His mother was an abusive alcoholic who supported her family by prostitution, probably in front of her children. He was poor, really, really poor. He didn’t have any resources and he had shacked up with an illegal alien. But plenty of people without any money don’t chop off their kids heads.

I believe Angela Camacho told the truth when she said they killed them because they were destitute. And she would have done or said anything that Rubio wanted. I think that John Allen Rubio epitomizes the need for capital punishment. I just wish that he didn’t get off so easy with just a needle in his arm.

John Allen Rubio should suffer, suffer as Julissa, Mary Jane and Johnny suffered. They died in terror and pain. I hope and pray that Texas holds Rubio responsible for his actions and that he pisses himself as they drag his sorry ass to the death chamber. Maybe the Ferryman could just drop him off at the gates of hell, which is exactly where he belongs.

But the Supreme Court in the State of Connecticut has dug deeper, beyond what I thought was the bottom of the barrel.

On September 15, 1998 Robert Courchesne was convicted on murder charges for killing Demetris Rodgers over a $410 drug related debt. For that crime Courchesne received a sentence which is not being questioned. What gave this POS a special place on death row was the fact that Demetris was eight months pregnant at the time. Her baby, Antonia delivered by emergency Cesarean section, died 42 days later. For this deed Courchesne earned a capital felony conviction.

But to the Supreme Court in the State of Connecticut, the ruling in 1998 is not good enough to leave this POS on death row. Apparently there is a question as to weather Antonia was “born alive” after stabbing Demetris.

Let me get this straight…. Antonia died 42 days after the stabbing, but now the State of CT now questions weather Antonia was ever alive or “alive enough” to be considered a person? Given that Antonia died 42 days later, I will dare assume that Antonia was alive. Is not death the absence of life? How could Antonia die if she were never alive? Are there now different degrees or levels of death?

To quote from News Channel 8 “The high court ruled the state must prove during a new trial that the baby’s brain was functioning when it was born” How is that going to be measurable now? Can the medical records from 1998 satisfy the court’s new definition of life?

So this case could set another precedent further devaluing life. What next? Could my boss use this case to justify shooting me before I have had my daily dose of caffeine and sugar in the morning?

While I do not know which justices made this decision to overturn the capital felony conviction, this goes to further prove my point that in time some people will care more about the convict than the victim. At this point the State of CT should measure the brain activities of Justice Flemming L. Norcott, Jr., Chief Justice Chase T. Rogers, Justice Joette Katz, Justice Christine S. Vertefeuille, Justice Peter T. Zarella, Justice Richard N. Palmer and Justice C. Ian McLachlan as it seems that one or more of these people appear to be brain dead themselves!

This Story Was Written And Submitted By The Nibbler

Editor’s Notes: For those of you who don’t know, The Nibbler is actually Fred, one of our long standing regulars. Fred is our resident thinker, and I admire him for the way he analyzes an issue and comes up with his honest, no holds barred opinion.

Fred has submitted several stories to me for consideration, but the subject matter has either been too political or not the type of article we publish here at PYSIH. He has never held it against me when I told him I couldn’t use his submission, something I appreciate more than he knows.

So obviously I was more than happy to publish this story, which is right down the PYSIH alley. Like Fred, I fail to see the logic in the Connecticut State Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Robert Courchesne’s capital murder conviction.

Here are the facts.

Baby Antonia was delivered by Cesarean section after her mother had been dead for some time. Because of this, Antonia suffered profound brain damage, and was kept on a ventilator during the 42 days the baby was alive. When she was removed from the machines, she died several hours later.

Connecticut has law on the books, left over from the days when medical science had trouble determining if a person was brain dead, called the “born alive” rule. Basically, it says that if a baby is delivered “mortally wounded”, the baby is considered to have been “a person”. This was the standard the trial court of Robert Courchesne used to determine if Baby Antonia was murdered.

So in this case, it wouldn’t have mattered if the baby could or could have survived on it’s own, without the help of a respirator. Baby Antonia was considered a person because she was mortally wounded as a result of Robert Courchesne murdering her mother, thereby depriving her brain of oxygen.

Now that sounds like common sense to me. If mom isn’t stabbed to death by Robert Courchesne, Baby Antonia’s brain doesn’t become oxygen starved, and she doesn’t die. Simple. Not to mention that the infant lived for hours after the ventilator was turned off. How much more proof does the State Supreme Court need?

Apparently, quite a bit more. They want proof that the baby had some kind of brain function that made her more than a vegetable. I guess it doesn’t matter how she got in the condition she was in, but it does matter that the person who put her there has his fucking rights protected.

Madness…

They also make me want to drive a steel spike through my head, over and over again. Like this morning when I had an argument with one of them as to why jalapeno flavored tortilla chips and chocolate milk did not constitute the breakfast of champions.

Children are often argumentative, stubborn, obstinate and down right nasty in their honesty. It requires a lot of patience, understanding and unconditional love to raise a child.

Not to mention a lot of money. My kids will often eat anything that can’t move fast enough to get away from them. You blink and two gallons of milk go poof in like, 20 seconds. The manager of the local buffet restaurant weeps when he sees us coming.

But I digress.

This little buttercup is Jules Lynn Cuneo. Jules loves children. Actually, she loved cashing the checks that she got to take care of children. Jules is what is known as a professional foster parent. Not someone that opens their home and their hearts to care for a traumatized child in need – nope she was in it strictly for the money; any where from $400 to $1000 (depending on the needs of the child) per month, per child.

Now there are two camps surrounding Jules; the one that wouldn’t have trusted her to walk their dog and the camp that believed she was akin to the second coming. Doesn’t seem to be a lot of gray area where Jules is concerned. About the only thing that everyone can agree on is that Jules is a very large woman.

Despite her history of being abused as a child and engaging in abusive relationships as an adult, Jules was granted a license to be a foster parent by Kids Crossing, a private social services agency in Colorado.

Alize Vick was born with several strikes against her. Her mother was addicted to methamphetamine and her father appears to have been a career criminal.

On March 6, 2007, Alize and her infant brother were removed from their biological mother, Ashley Lindenberger, due to Ashley’s drug use and subsequent incarceration on drug charges. Alize and her brother were placed into the care of Jules Cuneo.

Almost immediately, people began to notice signs of abuse on little Alize – swollen lips, bruises, lacerations, broken teeth, separated gums. We know each and every time that little Alize received an injury as Jules dutifully documented the injuries in the form of an “Incident/Accident” report that she filed with the placement agency who was supposed to forward these reports to the El Paso County Colorado Department of Human Services. The “incidents” were:

03/06/07 – Alize is placed with Jules Cuneo.
03/17/07 – Alize received a swollen lip. Explanation, unknown.
03/25/07 – Alize suffers from facial and upper lip injuries. Jules claims the injuries were from Alize tripping over her own feet and falling.
04/09/07 – Alize suffers a bruise to the left cheek. Explanation, unknown.
04/16/07 – Alize’s infant brother, Anthoni, suffers a “bump” to the head. Jules claims he was accidentally dropped by her biological daughter.
04/22/07 – Alize suffered bruises to the forehead, both sides of the face, under her chin and a swollen bottom lip. Jules claims that Alize fell in the bathtub. Twice. This injury was reported to the El Paso County Department of Human Services, but they did not assign it for investigation.
04/28/07 – Alize suffers from facial abrasions. Jules claims these were the result of a runny nose.
06/08/07 – Various scrapes and bruises. Jules claims Alize suffered injuries in a fall.
06/09/07 – Alize suffers another swollen lip and eye. Jules claims that Alize fell on the deck, biting her lip and poking herself in the eye.
06/16/07 – Alize suffers a bruise to the back of the neck, scratches on the left side of the chin and severe bleeding of a tooth and the corresponding gum. Jules took Alize to a dentist who treated her for “a slight fracture, swollen gum and bleeding.” Jules claimed Alize slipped and fell on the tile floor of the bathroom.
08/15/07 – Alize suffers from a torn frenulum (small fold of mucous membrane extending from the floor of the mouth to the midline of the underside of the tongue), facial bruises and a swollen upper lip. Explanation, unknown.
10/09/07 – Alize suffers a fractured skull with severe bleeding of the brain. Jules claims she fell off a parked SUV. Then Jules claims that they were playing “horsey” and Alize accidentally fell off her knee and hit her head on a coffee table.
10/10/07 – Alize Vick is declared dead.

Jesus, sounds like Jules’ crapper is a death trap doesn’t it? And if you believe Jules, poor little Alize was a world class klutz.

Now I have a child that IS a world class klutz. I think that for the first five years of his life, he thought his name was “Danny, DON’T!” And with the exception of the fractured skull and frenulum (thank God) he has sustained most of the above injuries, including the fractured tooth. But this has been over a period of YEARS not weeks or months. Any rational person, even one without children would question whether or not a child was being abused if they sustained the amount of injuries that Alize did in that short period of time.

But the investigator for the El Paso County Department of Human Services, Susan Fisher, didn’t agree. She believed that all of the injuries received by Alize had a natural and logical explanation. In other words, she believed the load shit that Jules handed her either due to stupidity or negligence. Maybe Susie just didn’t feel like working that day.

But we do not have to take Jules’s word for Alize being accident prone. We have a witness. We have a woman that tried her hardest to get someone from the county to listen and to intervene. She tried to save Alize’s life. But no one would listen to her.

Maryann Hartman had the misfortune of being the next door neighbor of Jules. She also had a baby monitor, just like Jules. She listened for weeks, documenting the psychological abuse that Jules was inflicting on Alize. She listened as Jules tried to force Alize to say things like, “Alize is stupid” and “Alize is a chicken.” She listened as Jules would coach Alize on what to say when people came over. She heard Jules telling Alize, “You like living at Jules’s house because you get cookies.”

She also listened as tiny little Alize would scream and cry while Jules would yell at her, trying to get her to say, “Get off of me, Jules.” That’s right folks, Jules would sit on Alize as a form of punishment. Jules is 300+ pounds, Alize barely weighed 30 pounds – not exactly a fair match. Ms. Hartman call the El Paso Department of Human Services numerous times to report the abuse. But they didn’t believe her.

Someone also sent El Paso DCF an anonymous letter, describing some of the abuse the Jules Cuneo inflicted on Alize Vick.

Read The Anonymous Letter Here

When Ms. Hartman thought the abuse was turning physical, she recorded several hours of this torture as it came across her baby monitor. Then she composed a letter and personally dropped off her evidence to social services. A social worker did a cursory investigation, but did not speak with Alize or remove Alize or her brother from Jules home.

Ms. Hartman waited and waited for someone to rescue Alize. And they finally did, in the form of an ambulance. Alize had suffered a devastating head injury.

Alize lived on life support for one day before dying from her injuries. According to her autopsy, Alize suffered from extensive abuse with evidence of injuries in various states of healing and died from a subarachnoid (that is bleeding in the space between the arachnoid membrane and the pia mater, the membranes that surround the brain and the spinal cord) and subdural hemorrhages; a direct result of blunt force trauma to the back of the head.

When Jules was initially questioned, she offered various explanations for Alize’s injuries. She finally admitted that she picked up Alize and threw her across the room where her head struck the coffee table, causing the fatal injury. She didn’t mean to do it, she just lost her temper and her self control. She never meant to hurt Alize. Alize just made her so mad because Alize didn’t like her and refused to talk to her.

So Jules threw her. Then Jules picked her up and threw her a second time, and Alize’s head struck the coffee table with enough force to fracture her skull.

Jules was recently convicted of child abuse which knowingly and recklessly caused death and for reckless manslaughter in the death of Alize Vick. She was sentenced to a total of 32 years.

Before her sentencing, Cuneo’s legal guardian asked the judge to be lenient. “She is not a danger to society,” she said. Unless you are a helpless 2-year old girl.

When he was rendering his decision, Judge Larry Schwartz said he did not sentence Cuneo with the maximum allowed time because her crime was “a fit of rage,” not “intentional.” Yeah, the months of abuse leading up to the senseless death of a little girl wasn’t intentional.

According the prosecutor, Deputy District Attorney Deborah Person, the audio tape that Ms. Hartman made MONTHS prior to Alize’s death, “describes torture. It describes Miss Cuneo sitting on Alize telling her to use her words. One can tell Alize is in distress there’s no question about that and it goes on and on.”

The medical examiner testified that Alize’s body showed obvious signs of long term abuse. But according to Judge Schwartz, Alize’s death wasn’t intentional. God, give me strength because I see STUPID people everywhere.

It seems that Social Services in Colorado has had big problems. In 2008, Karen Beye, Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Social Services said that at least some of the 13 children who died in 2007 after visits from county social workers might still be alive if social services had done a better job. Way to let those horses out of the barn after it’s been burnt to the ground Karen.

Read Alize Vick’s Colorado DHS Fatality Review

When Sue Fisher was reassigned following the death of Alize, it was recommended that she receive further training in the use of an audiocassette (I’m not kidding here) and in her ability to determine the validity of an abuse allegation. Just makes you want to smack your forehead and yell, “DUH” doesn’t it?

Alize’s biological parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Social Services and Kids Crossing which was settled out of court. The worth of Alize Vick? $300,000. According to reports, Ashley has apparently turned her life around. She had another baby with her fiance, has stayed drug free and is working. There are those that have criticized her for cashing in on her daughter’s death.

And even though it was Ashley’s actions that caused Alize to be placed with Jules, we must not forget that it was Jules that killed Alize, not Ashley. I truly hope that Ashley and her family can move past this tragedy and that Ashley stays drug free for the sake of her remaining children and herself.

As for Jules – I hope you rot in hell. You were trusted to care for someone else’s children and instead of caring for them, you beat them, sat on them, tortured them and killed one of them. You are a piece of filth and deserve to spend the rest of your sorry life in prison.

And as for Susan Fisher, Marsha Epps, Barbara Drake, and Richard Bengtsson whose job it was to safeguard Alize, may you hear Alize’s screams in your sleep and see her beautiful little face every day for the rest of your miserable lives.

Harold Frederick Shipman, or “Dr. Death” as he so was coined after his arrest, was the man with the highest number of confirmed murders in the modern world, weighing in at 218. 218 confirmed victims. Not a number to forget, and not a man to forget any time soon, alive or dead.

Shipman was British, a graduate of Leeds School of Medicine. Like Cullen, Shipman spent a while hospital bouncing throughout his career. From Leeds to Pontefract General Infirmary to Tormorden Hospital to Hatfield College’s Drug Center, to the Mational Coal Board (what?) to Donneybrook Medical Centre to Hyde Hospital.

This continued until 1993, when Harold Shipman founded his own surgery practice on Market Street in Cheshire, England. It is at this point that he became a respected member of the community. It is also at this point when Shipman acknowledged the fact that he could get away with as much as he set his mind to.

The killing began, discreetly at first, and then rampant and frequent. In March of 1998, Dr. Linda Reynolds expressed her and others personal concerns to the coroner for the South Manchester District, an individual by the name of John Pollard.

She and others were concerned about the abnormally high death rate amongst Shipman’s patients. Reynolds was concerned about the obtuse number of crematory papers for older women that Shipman had co-signed. Dr. Linda Reynolds claimed that Harold Shipman was, in some way, shape, or form, killing his patients in large numbers.

This murder manifestation was brought to the attention of the British police force. The police searched for evidence, but were unable to find enough to charge Dr. Shipman with any crimes. Damn cremations.

The inquiry into his killings eventually blamed the police for not catching on soon enough, and not finding enough evidence to bring Shipman to trial. They claimed that the officers and detectives assigned to Shipman’s case were far too inexperienced to handle the job at hand.

Between the inquiry and the date of Shipman’s arrest, he killed sixteen other elderly people. They were his specialty. Kill them, they don’t know the difference. Claim that they died of old age, the coroner doesn’t know the difference. The body is burned, the family mourns, and life goes on. Flawless and evidence-free.

According to BBC News: “The police then investigated other deaths Shipman had certified, and created a list of 15 specimen cases to investigate. They discovered a pattern of his administering lethal overdoses of diamorphine (otherwise known as heroin), signing patients’ death certificates, and then forging medical records indicating they had been in poor health.”

Sad, no? Even sadder was his demise. Poor Shipman was capable of killing over 200 others, yet he was so scared of prison (he was sentenced to life for his crimes), that Harold hung himself in his prison cell on January 13th, 2004.

As you read this, Harold Frederick Shipman is most likely burning in hell beneath our feet. Maybe his victims should be allowed to inject him daily with overdoses of diamorphine as well. Who knows?

These two sisters, along with an unnamed 7-year-old sister, were adopted by Renee Bowman from the District of Columbia. Renee, the ravaging beauty below, systematically starved and then asphyxiated both Jasmine and Minnet.

After they died, she wrapped them in plastic, seeled them with duct tape and put them in her freezer. She even brought the freezer along with her after she moved from Rockland, Maryland to Lusby, Maryland. I mean we have all dealt with some sick ass fucks before, but moving their bodies in a freezer? I think Renee just is a serious contender for the sick and twisted award of the year.

Bowman had locked the 7 year old in a room and left home to run a few errands. On September 26, 2008, the little girl, who had not eaten in three days, broke out the window on the second floor and jumped out of the house. She then went to a neighbor and asked for help. She told the neighbor that she was hungry and that her mother had beaten her two sisters to death.

When police arrived, they found the girl to be covered in blood and feces and to have “extensive open infected sores and open lesions, several injuries to her feet and knees, and ligature marks and extensive scarring on her neck.” This bitch had tortured her own daughter. But what’s a little torture when you have two kids on ice in a freezer?

When questioned by police, Renee Bowman admitted to beating the girl with a shoe and told them about the bodies of her two other daughters in her freezer. Bowman claimed that the one child had died from starvation and the other child had died as a result of a fall that occurred while she was beating her. Nice try Renee, but the medical examiner ruled that both children died from asphyxiation.

Renee Bowman was finally convicted on two counts of first-degree murder and three counts of child abuse. She was sentenced to life without parole. Even though Bowman did not testify at her trial, she told the court that, “I am very sorry for the abuse of the girls,” Bowman said. “It haunts me. It haunts me every day.” Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge Michael J. Algeo called Renee Bowman’s crimes “horrific, reprehensible and despicable” and said they were the worst he had seen during his 25 years as an attorney and a judge.

Why would Renee Bowman adopt three adorable little girls, only to torture, starve and eventually kill two of them? Simple: She was receiving a monthly stipend of $2,400.00 from the District of Columbia to aid in the care of these children. This worked out to around $150,000.00. And what did she do with this monthly stipend? Obviously, she didn’t miss too many meals. And since she was starving these innocent little girls, she didn’t need to buy food for them.

Nope, instead of loving, caring, FEEDING and nurturing these children, she was shopping on Ebay. While the 7 year old went hungry and the bodies of Jasmine and Minnet were lying in ice in her freezer, this sack of shit was surfing the net and letting her fingers do the clicking.

But who in their right mind would allow this woman to adopt these helpless children? Three guesses, and the first two don’t count. That’s right, The District of Columbia’s Child and Family Services. They allowed Bowman to adopt in 2001 and again in 2004 even though she had a misdemeanor conviction in 1999 for threatening physical violence against a 72-year-old man and filing for bankruptcy in 2001.

What is even more horrific is that it is alleged that in January of 2008, a state investigator from the Maryland Department of Human Resources went to the Bowman home to investigate a report of abuse. The investigator concluded that there were no obvious signs of abuse and that the children appeared well. Yet we have two dead children frozen in a freezer in September. No signs of abuse or neglect? Not likely.

The 7-year-old daughter has been placed in protective services and is said to be doing well with her new foster family. Words cannot adequately express the anger and revulsion that I personally feel toward Renee Bowman. As far as I’m concerned, this woman should be taken out back behind the courthouse and shot.

And while I am filled with sorrow and sympathy for the 7 year old, I am also amazed at her sheer will to live. To survive and tell everyone what “Mom” had done. I can only hope that she finds peace, love and healing. Bowman pleaded guilty to a first-degree child abuse charge relating to abuse of the 7-year old girl and was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Enjoy your slow roast in hell Renee.

Burn baby burn.

Woops! I mistook this for an update, when in actuality it’s a brand new article. It was written by a veteran PYSIH writer, Blondie, who took a long break from her duties her at the site to have a baby last year. If this is a sign that she’s back to writing regularly for us, you guys are in for some first class articles by a first class author. Blondie was my go to girl when I first took over the day to day operations, and, judging by the quality of this story, it looks like she still has every bit of the talent she had back then.

James is awesome.

James Davis, a man’s man, likes many things that other men like.

He likes drugs.

He likes cars.

He likes sex.

James here is basically like a down-home version of James Dean. Party hard, drive fast, screw as you please.

James picks women he’s comfortable with, and that means they can’t be too independant and they can’t be real deep thinkers.

This is 36-year-old Sandra Davis. Sandra likes James and drugs.

Sandra Davis was married to James Davis for a while, but they’re separated now.

From what information we’ve been able to gather, they did not split up because one of Sandra’s eyes is lower than the other. It’s very sad that such a cute couple split up, but like everyone will tell you, life goes on in Eastman.

In 1996, a girl-child sprang forth from Sandra’s loins. As Sandra herself would tell you, that girl is not really all that important. She just kind of comes into the story later.

This here is 66-year-old Robert Wayne Bearden, the manager of Shorty’s Used Cars – a fine establishment in Eastman, Georgia that only sells the very highest quality pre-owned vehicles at the very lowest prices.

Back in 2007, when James Davis and his wife Sandra met Wayne Bearden for the first time, Robert Wayne convinced James and Sandra that a particular 1998 Dodge Caravan was the absolute best choice for a vehicle for their family. Priced at a low, low $10,678, the minivan was an absolute steal! All the Davis family had to do to drive that baby home was make low, low monthly payments of $281 for a few years.

Now up to this point, this isn’t an especially interesting story. Thousands of people every day go into car dealerships and buy cars. What’s the big deal?

Well, the story really only got interesting when the Davis family sat down in the finance office of Shorty’s Used Cars with Mr. Robert Wayne Bearden. That was because the Davis family financed the majority of the value of the car with their 12-year-old daughter’s vagina.

Somehow in that office that day, the Davis family and Shorty’s Used Cars general manager struck a deal. Robert Wayne Bearden would use their 12-year-old daughter sexually whenever he wanted, and the Davis family would drive an 11-year-old Dodge minivan.

Now, why would anyone have a problem with that?

Everyone was perfectly fine with the arrangement for 2 years.

James and Sandra would get a call from Robert Wayne requesting a payment on the minivan. James or Sandra would put their pre-teen/teen daughter into the minivan and drive her to Wayne. Mr. Bearden would pop a viagra or something and put his sexagenarian sexual abilities to work on a girl who was 2 years older than the minivan he sold to her parents.

As a side note, if you think about it, the now 14-year-old girl never even really got to drive the van, despite the fact that she was really the one who paid for it. That’s kind of unfair.

According to Captain Tony Winborn of the Dodge sheriff’s office, there are no records of the Davis’s making any payments from the day that the van was driven off the lot until the day that the Davis family was caught up in a major drug investigation by the local authorities.

That drug investigation, which had been ongoing for quite some time, revealed that there were a bunch of people in town who had serious drug problems. Someone stole 276 vials of controlled narcotic from the local hospital, other people were selling large quantities of marijuana and cocaine, and there was this one couple (the Davis family) who was paying for their drugs by allowing random drug dealers to have sex with their daughter.

Everyone was arrested, which is kind of a relief.

Sandra Davis and James Clarence Davis have both been charged with pandering and child molestation. James Davis is also charged with aggravated child molestation. The investigation revealed that James and Sandra had both molested their daughter over a number of years, which may have been why they felt comfortable pimping the girl.

Robert Wayne Bearden has been charged with one count of aggravated child molestation, one count of child molestation and with being in possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Robert

The Davis daughter is now in foster care.

Mr. Bryan Chang, like many Asians, grew up in a household that valued education. They realize that their progeny are, most likely, going to be able to support them in their old age a lot better if they have a college degree of some kind. Usually a medical degree, but a computer degree or an engineering degree will sometimes work out well too.

In this case, Bryan’s mother – 60-year-old Sherry Chu Chang – financed Brian’s stay at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.

That was very nice of her.

So Bryan Chang had a technologically-oriented degree, he was young and his future was wide open.

Oh sure, with the economy being what it has been, it can be hard to find a job. Times are tough. Interviews are hard. There’s a lot of competition out there.

Bryan Chang had been without a job for 18 months, living off his mom.

Sherry Chu Chang was getting a bit tired of her son sponging off her. After 18 months, most parents would be. She probably nagged incessantly, kept after her son to get out and find something, make something of his life. Do something with that degree we bought you, for Christ’s sake!

The good news is, Bryan Chang doesn’t have to print up any more resumes or chase after job interviews from now on.

On the 19th of January, 2010, Bryan Chang reported that his car – a car his parents had financed – had been stolen. Four days later, on the 23rd, Sherry Chang drove to Bryan’s apartment in Los Angeles to talk about it. While she was there, she talked on her cellphone with her husband, who also lived in Los Angeles. Apparently the conversation with her husband dealt with the fact that they were both getting a bit tired of Bryan squandering their largess.

Later that afternoon, Bryan Chang and his mother were seen by Sherry’s neighbors pulling into the garage at their Solana Beach home.

Now, we can’t be entirely sure about what they talked about while they were there, but one thing’s for sure – Sherry Chang didn’t expect the conversation to be about hammers.

In an upstairs room, Bryan Chang took that hammer to his mother, giving murder the ol’ college try.

At 2 in the morning that Monday, Bryan Chang took a cab from his mother’s house in Solana Beach to his apartment in Los Angeles. According to authorities, in order to pay for the ride, he tried to charge it on his mother’s credit card.

When Sherry Chang didn’t show up for work that morning, concerned co-workers called the authorities. It wasn’t like her to just not show up for work. They felt something had happened to her.

Which, of course, had happened. Something. A hammer. From her son.

The sheriff’s department showed up at Sherry’s home to check on her, did the usual knock and so on and eventually went inside. They might have expected her to be dead, but they probably didn’t expect the extent of her state of being dead.

She was extra dead.

According to officer reports from the scene, officers found Sherry Chang’s arm and pieces of her skull in her refrigerator. The rest of her body was located on the floor of the downstairs bathroom of her two-story home. From the evidence at the scene, it was obvious that Sherry had died from blunt force trauma to her head.

While the hammer blow to the head had been the injury which had killed her, Sherry had also endured broken ribs, numerous facial fractures and bruises all over her body – all consistent with the injuries one would receive if someone played a 60-year-old’s body like a glockenspiel.

The arm had been removed by one of two knives that had been found in the kitchen – a serrated knife that was located in the kitchen sink or a large butcher knife found in the dishwasher.

Going through the garage, authorities found a trash can that was had a “substantial amount” of blood. Sherry’s clothes – drenched in blood – were also in that trash can.

About the only good thing that officers found about her death was that the dismemberment of her body happened after she died. Which is actually kind of interesting to think that they had to make that distinction – since most people will just die after you start dismembering them. Hard to imagine someone finishing up a dismemberment, wiping off their hands and waiting for their subject to die.

Anyways, according to officers at the scene, the house looked like someone had done a very poor job of cleaning up the crime scene.

On Sherry Chang’s desk, investigators found a credit card statement listing purchases made in San Diego and Los Angeles. The Los Angeles charges – apparently charges Sherry had accused Bryan of making – had been highlighted.

Bryan Chang was arrested at his Los Angeles apartment on the 27th of January, 2010. As he was arrested, officer noticed that he appeared to have blood under his fingernails and toenails.

Of course, that blood could have any number of reasons for being there. Really.

Bryan Chang has been charged with murder. During his first court appearance, he remained expressionless and emotionless as the prosecutor, Deputy District Attorney Rachel Solov, detailed his last encounter with his mother for the judge. Citing what she called “the viciousness of the attack,” Superior Court Judge Joan Weber set Chang’s bail at $5 million.

Chang faces 26 years to life if convicted.
