GUILTY AR - Beverly Carter, 49, Little Rock, 25 Sep 2014 - # 2

[Momoffourboys]

He just wants to "get it over with"?
Why did he drag the interrogation on for 12 hours? Run from the hospital? Taunt her husband in texts?

Really? Who gives a rat's ars what he wants?
This is not about YOU, Arron. You selfish, arrogant, evil excuse for a human being.

 

[CHERIE.T]

I am bawling this morning. Just bawling. I have no words.

(hugs)
:heartluv: I think most of us are

 

[Marple]

No, because they don't want him to come back later and claim ineffective counsel or that his sixth amendment rights were violated.

Because defense lawyers don't make as much money if their client tells the truth. Because a certain element of our society believes that if you ( or your son, husband, cousin, neighbor, etc.) commit a crime but you can lie good enough to get a jury to feel sorry for you and let you go, you are no longer a criminal, you are "innocent".

The world is full of people who believe they are entitled to get away with whatever crime they commit because they can blame their actions on the victim, their financial situation, their culture, where they live or the cop who arrested them.

MOO

 

[Marple]

He's mumbling there.. over and over and over. He's not making any sense, really. He appears to have dissociated with himself at this point.

Well, he murdered someone, whacked his head in a car accident, ran away from the hospital and spent the night in the woods, spent all day and most of the night being interrogated. He's a little punch drunk, I'm sure.

 

[SaucyGal]

Some things I've notice in the short time I've been on here this morning..

A) AL seemed as if he were "coming down" during his perp walk to the car.
B ) Anyone that has had any experience with meth/speed knows that when you come down - you do so HARD. It can and usually does take a person into the lowest low. Which may be a reason he wanted to plead guilty to it all.
C) The person he named posted manically on FB from right before the last time BC was heard from and there is a time gap in his posts on that day from approx 4:30p - 9:30p
D) I haven't been through the content of the videos "named person" posted but some of them appear to be of a violent nature.
E) Since there was a sudden burst of posting, could it be a way for this person to establish some type of alibi or timeline to discount him?
F) I noticed also that this person, under "recent activity" liked FH's page and became friends with Adam Nash (was this the same guy that called 911?).
G) If AN is the guy that called 911, how soon before or after did he become friends with "named person"?

I recall someone up thread referring to hoping AL going through bad withdrawal from drugs...Unless he was doing something other than "speed" he won't withdrawal too badly and it will only be for a short time, unlike bezodiazepines or opiates. All of this is MOO while trying to connect dots and make sense of this tragedy.

OMG ... I just saw this terrible news about Beverly on the MSN Homepage:


Body of missing Arkansas real estate agent found

Police have discovered the body of an Arkansas real estate agent in a shallow grave after she was reported missing last week, a law enforcement official said.

Police found the body of 49-year-old Beverly Carter shortly after midnight on Tuesday in a Little Rock suburb about 25 miles (40 km) north of the area where she was reported missing, Pulaski County Sheriff's Office spokesman Carl Minden said.

[Kimster]

:tears: I am so bummed! I was really hoping she was being held captive somewhere.

:rose: Rest in peace, dear Beverly :rose:

Well, it is one thing to remove anti-theft devices from merchandise, to scam a corporation out of their funds, have a bit of internet glory, flash ill-gotten cash as a big spender and portray yourself as a 'daredevil' bike stunter; but, I do believe Arron (the *advertiser censored**h***) came totally unglued in the aftermath of killing Beverly. I would be surprised if there was a motive - that we could comprehend. I fear that he is in that small category of 'thrill' killers. It was the one thing he had not done......yet. As bad*** as he wanted to be, even he couldn't handle what he had done. He may have thought he had a plan (as an organized killer), followed it to a degree......and then all h3ll broke loose in his head this weekend. He feels no remorse and is probably extremely ticked that he was caught. Playing the cat and mouse games with the police detectives and his comments to the press tell a lot about his total lack of empathy and compassion. He is just an empty shell. Now he is where he belongs until they carry his dead body out.

Rest in peace, Beverly.

 

[One Dog]

Could Arron have kidnapped her for someone else? And then THEY had a deeper motive? And HE was going to get paid for doing it and turning her over?

That seems more like a movie twist though...

I was wondering the same thing....

The "why her" question is still puzzling to me:

1. Was he hired by someone else?? Family is definitely out of the question....my heart is breaking for them.

2. "She was a rich broker"...and the point is? Was he planning on eventually asking for ransom and the plan failed so he killed her? Did he kill her just because she was rich and chose her at random? I know a lot of wealthy agents that work by themselves. Scary thought.

3. Did he have a personal vendetta against old employer(s)? Stolen truck and buried on the business property...was he trying to frame them but plan failed?

Regardless, he doesn't seem to bright, yet a little egotistical, and he is just mean spirited. I don't find him to be mentally incompetent, just vile, and rotten to the core. Too many questions unanswered but I really don't think there is a Trevor. If he was so willing to say his first name and that Trevor was military, he would give a last name.

JMO MOO

Assuming that's the way they would want to deal with their grief. They seem like gentle, civilized people.

I read Steelman's post about giving the husband and son go in with baseball bats and finish the guy off. I understood his sentiment exactly. Even gentle, civilized people have thoughts of doing just this when someone takes the life of someone they love they love. Would they act on it? No. But believe me, there is a rage that runs so deep, given permission, there is no doubt in my mind they would do it.

I don't have time to defend his actions (or after the fact) .. something about wasn't right with him before the incident. We have discussed drugs and none of us can possibly know if was on something but that is just crazy. He was paranoid before he ever got to the house and Beverly never had a chance. He sold his house this year, got married in April and had this huge plan in his head about seeing his son and being responsible. He flashed money on facebook .. saying he finally had all the money! This is total garbage that we are working with here.

 

[LorinMarie]

AL has proven himself as really not so bright. I have seen many cases where perps hatch out well laid intricate plans and I just don't think AL is capable of that. I think that he thought this crime would result in some sort of financial gain and things did not go the way he envisioned. His comment says it all, a woman working alone, a rich broker. That ties into my original thinking that his crimes are financially driven and he had to have thought that he would be getting money out of this. Perhaps Beverly fought much harder than he had thought she would be capable of and it resulted in him having to silence her. When it was released that he was the suspect I immediately thought that he did not act alone. I just don't see a season realtor meeting up with someone like him to show a home without having everything carefully logged. I could see her being more apt to meet with a couple, that seems like it would feel safer. Or if this T was involved someone that serves our country would probably feel like someone that would be safe to meet for a showing. Maybe she thought she was meeting a nice military couple? If AL is telling the truth LE will quickly be able to verify it and I would presume they will want to investigate that promptly.

Any news on the wife and if she has been to the station yet?

I really commend LE and her family for their swift action in this case. With a missing adult and sometimes even a teen I have seen them drag their heels despite the family being persistent that them being out of contact is out of character. This is how it should be in every single case! Sadly it wasn't enough to save Beverly but this kind of action should be an example to all and could save someone else. It at least resulted in them getting this man off the streets for good!

 

[SaucyGal]

I am so confused as to motive and MO here. I am wondering if one of his contacts (girlfriend/wife) heard about a "cash sale" transaction taking place at the property and the plan was to remove the realtor from the equation...then pose as the realtor for the seller and collect the cash from the buyer with forged documents etc...
It just seems kidnapping/murder are a far cry from what this guy usually does (and/or has the intelligence/organization to pull off)...

I think something along these lines is totally plausible. AL's statement of her being alone and a "rich broker" tells me that money played into this some how..The "holy trinity" in determining a crime (especially murder) is means, motive, and opportunity. Good thinking, eucalyptuz.

 

[Marple]

Well, his charge is capital murder so that would mean the murder was premeditated (was the burial site pre-planned?) or that he killed her in the commission of a violent felony. What a horrible, horrible way to treat another human being.

 

[TTF14]

2. "She was a rich broker"...and the point is? Was he planning on eventually asking for ransom and the plan failed so he killed her? Did he kill her just because she was rich and chose her at random? I know a lot of wealthy agents that work by themselves. Scary thought.

JMO MOO

Snipped by me. I could see this imbecile going along with a plan someone else hatched without even thinking ahead to "ok now what?" once they got her. Yeah, she's a wealthy woman (so he thinks....maybe she is and maybe she isn't, but let's assume she is), so it is suggested to him as a plan to rob her. He's a criminal, and he's dim-witted, so he goes along with it. Except he doesn't think ahead to how it will play out and how they're actually going to make money on this plan. They left her purse in her car for goodness' sake. So, what did they get? Maybe her wedding ring?? I don't think this guy had a plan, and I think he was going along with someone he thought DID have the plan. He's just clearly the dumbest one of the group, however big it is, so he's first one to get caught.

JMO.

 

[Zuri]

I wish they would just let Beverly's husband and son go in there with a couple of baseball bats and finish this guy off.

He has nothing whatsoever to contribute to this world.

I think I would put a bullet in that guy myself if I had the opportunity.

What you see right there is just raw evil...in it's worst form.

As a homicide survivor, I understand these sentiments entirely. There is a quiet rage that develops that sits in your gut. You do everything in your power to suppress it, because it is so incredibly powerful. I am not a violent person and have spent my medical career caring for people. Violence is not in my character structure.

However, given permission and opportunity, I would have shot the two perps that killed my 20 year old brother, dead without remorse. I don't advocate violence in any way shape or form. I don't like guns and I don't own one for obvious reasons. But I do understand this sentiment completely, even though it is not a rational thought.

 

[Zuri]

To Beverly's family, loved ones and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. Your lives will never be the same. This is just so raw and I hope you have the support of those that can help you through this difficult time. God Bless all of you. May He bless you with strength and courage.

Here's a transcript of what Lewis said to reporter Shannon Miller while he was being escorted from the Pulaski County Courthouse after entering his not guilty plea:

Reporter: Arron are you hurting for some reason?.
Lewis: Yeah, I got in a car wreck the other day. I haven't been to the hospital yet.
Reporter: You pleaded not guilty. Why?
Lewis: Because that's what my lawyer said to do.
Reporter: Did you in the courtroom originally say you wanted to get it over with, that you wanted to plead guilty?.
Lewis: Yeah
Reporter: Why?
Lewis: I just want this all over with.
Reporter: So, did your lawyer basically encourage you to plead guilty.
Lewis: I'm just sorry it all happened. I just want it all over.

He definitely did give a name. Several have it in print still also!

If the guy is unrelated to it, truly, I wonder if Arron might have said it to get revenge on someone else?

Because he'd assume they'll get a looking at from LE and if they, say, we're found to have drugs or have broken parole and was someone who Arron might have encountered in jail or such, I wouldn't be shocked to see him try something if he could get them in trouble for something found while LE checked on his story (even if they were nearly sure he acted alone)

He already is blaming a non car for his accident and two others or pulling a gun on him that wasn't found...he seems to like pointing fingers elsewhere.

But given him taking "credit" for his other stuff, and knowing he confessed to the kidnapping, maybe he really would have said it if he did it? And that's why he said he don't know where she was?

I don't think he's that "quick on his feet" to come up with that story . LE was trying to get information out of him since his arrest and yet he didn't give up her whereabouts.....I don't see him being a "hard *advertiser censored*" criminal as his previous convictions are small stuff in the realm of things. Violence doesn't fit his MO,imo. Granted he's pretty open about himself and his past but murder is another ballgame . I think if it was accidental that he killed her ,LE would have given him that out to take but it's apparently he didn't go that route. I would have liked to see his reaction when they told him they found her body .

Would have like to see a transcript on what he was mumbling as he was being walked out of the station house in front of the reporters....
