4 dead, 3 wounded in 'senseless murder rampage' across Memphis that forced residents inside

@AthrillatheHunt

@Pikachu I would say it is a complete failure from the state attorney office to the judge for allowing the plea deal

@ron122
Projection.

@nedkelly Right, what's going on in Ukraine isn't murder, it's just war.

@RocktheHouse This is a different matter

@RocktheHouse but it is a war your congress is fully involved in

@BizSuitStacy Cleotha “Pookie” Abston has been charged with kidnapping and killing Memphis teacher and business heiress Eliza Fletcher, whose body was recovered four days after her abduction.

Abston, a 38-year-old convicted kidnapper released from prison in 2020 after serving 19 years, was arrested on Saturday and has been charged with especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence, Memphis police said.

Abston had a lengthy juvenile criminal rap sheet that included charges of theft, aggravated assault, aggravated assault with a weapon, and rape, dating back to 1995 when he was 12 years old.

His brother Mario Abston was arrested on separate charges as part of the police investigation, the Memphis Police Department said on Twitter.

He is facing three counts: possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture and sell fentanyl, possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture and sell heroin, and possession of a firearm during the Commission of a dangerous felony.

@MarineBob especially for violent offences

@MarineBob The legal system would grind to a complete halt if everything had to go to trial, I've often heard said. I remember as a kid the first political campaign I paid attention to was the race for the governor of NY between, the father of Andrew Cuomo, Mario and a several others. Huge TV campaigns for all. The elder Cuomo won partly on a platform of ending plea bargaining. He of course never mentioned it ever again once he won.

@MarmeeMarch Dude, I don't care about your feelings. The death penalty has been around since at least the feudal age and it has NEVER worked as a deterrent. That is a myth.

And literally nobody is getting 1-3 for mass murder. So you are presenting a bullshit scenario.

You can't even support your position with facts or even a real world scenario.

@MarmeeMarch you need your own late night talk show dude. Lol
