I don’t buy it

I don’t buy it, spanking didn’t cause this unless it was the boyfriend that did the spanking without the support of the father. I think it is more likely it is the liberal world view we have in this country. You don’t hear of this kind of thing happening in the Moslem world. Perhaps life under the mullahs would not be do bad.

Jamarion Lawhorn: Teen Convicted In Playground Murder Of 9-Year-Old
Robert Jonathan
A jury yesterday afternoon found Jamarion Lawhorn, 13, guilty of first-degree murder in the tragic playground stabbing death of Connor Verkerke, 9, in the Grand Rapids, Michigan, area.
Lawhorn, who was 12 at the time, was charged as an adult and has been held at a juvenile detention facility since the August 4, 2014, fatal kitchen-knife stabbing in what was a random attack. He is said to be youngest convicted murderer in the history of Kent County, Michigan, where Grand Rapids is the county seat.
According to a forensic pathologist who testified at the three-day trial, “Connor Verkerke was stabbed six times; two of the wounds would have been fatal by themselves. Each penetrated three inches into his upper right back and into the right lung, causing fatal bleeding,” ABC News affiliate WZZM reported.
Lawhorn was allegedly the victim of child abuse by his mother and stepfather. His lawyer tried to raise the insanity defense but that claim was apparently rejected by the jury. The presiding judge previously ruled that the accused youngster was legally competent to stand trial.
“I’ve got a problem with anger,” he allegedly told a counselor, according to WZZM.
The jury took less than five hours to reach its finding of first-degree murder.
“Prison is the answer, for right now,” Conner’s father said after the trial ended.
“The defense had argued that a lifetime of abuse at the hands of his mom and stepdad pushed Jamarion to kill. Experts testified that Jamarion said he did it so he would get arrested and sentenced to death,” WOOD-TV reported.
“The jury had to determine whether years of abuse at home had wrecked Lawhorn’s mental health and overwhelmed his decisions. In his closing argument, prosecutor Kevin Bramble said the killing was planned for months and the boy knew what he did was wrong because he called 911. During the call, which was played for the jury, the boy demands that police arrest him and give him the electric chair,” the Daily Mail added.

Jamarion - 'nuff said. With a name like that, no wonder he was angry

I don't know the details of this specific case, but I do have a problem with an abused 13 year old (and abuse is a lot more than spanking) being charged with/convicted of first degree murder. I don't know what the answer is, but tossing him into the dung heap at that age is not it.

[Guinevere]

Oh my god, ignorance and racism at its finest. Jamarion means "handsome" - yeah, a terrible thing to call a boy.

I can't even begin to comment on the OP. Lets just string him up, since in Lib's world, lyching is "humane." Maybe we should take out his "liberal" parents, too, for good measure.

[MajGenl.Meade]

Racism? P off, Guin. I just see a variation on Marion. Marion's a girlie name - ask John Wayne

Now, ignorance is something else, natch. So I like to learn with you to help me

Jamarion joins the Arabic Jamar (meaning something like beautiful as you wrote) with the ever popular "ion".

What Big RR said...

[Guinevere]

That was more to lib that you, Meade. And you could have found out the meaning for Jamarion just as quickly as I did. 30 seconds. Goggle.

Saying that it reminds you of a "girlie" name is a lot different than what you actually posted.

(Maybe JW should have just added the Jamar, too . . . .)

[MajGenl.Meade]

OK, thanks. I wasn't looking for meaning, was I? Just joking that the name made him angry.... feeble.

[Joe Guy]

Reminds me of that Johnny Cash song, 'A boy named Jamarion.'

Without knowing anything about the type and extent of abuse you have decided it could not matter to the development of a 12-year old child?

Into the trash with that one.

You are either being dishonest or your memory is worse than mine; I never said anything about Lynching. Lynching is murder; I was talking about states executions. I feel that hanging would be as humane a way to kill a person than any other. A broken neck would lead to instant death. In some cases death would be the more humane punishment. But here we are talking about a child and that is totally different; however, he can’t be allowed to kill other kids. I just don’t believe that normal spanking lead to this; if his body does not show sign of torture there is more to the story.


Where is the racism and ignorance?

[MajGenl.Meade]

Well, I got the ignorance so....

His mother loved him and thought he was beautiful.

Right.

That's real serial-killer resentment there.


I think you need africans to come to your house and teach you how to be a compassionate human being. I don't think you have anything to teach africans. I think a really good missionary society should pay you to stay home.

I disagree, Neade’s fluff statements say nothing at all about his value as a missionary worker. I would not read anything into them they are empty statements that mean nothing, good for filling space. And he talks about others being clear in their writings.

I am proud myself my objectivity; I was not defending Neade I was just stating the facts as I see them. He can be an ass, but as far as I can see his commitment the Lord appears to be sincere.

I am admire the courage of my ancestors, but I belong to no organizations.
