But in what I am saying is based on suggesting Taylor didn't do it and his DNA wouldn't be at the crime scene.

As far out as this sounds, admittedly it sounds that way to even me, I question whether he is being threatened to take the rap. Consequences for not being, whatever a gang might do to you for refusing.

The reason he doesn't leave is because he is 18, and if he doesn't go along they deal with him. Why do you think that many people won't report a crime perpetrated by a gang ? It's because they fear the consequences, I would assume.

Also the difference is that if my theory were true, AB KNOWS his DNA is there. That's the situation in which you would leave to avoid the OBVIOUS.

It's arguable that all these guys felt maybe they weaseled out of this by not being arrested immediately after questioning.

Kind of convenient that the story is -- taylor was the only one there and he told us he'd kill her if we didn't come back and then he did and told us exactly how it went down - and that story excludes all of us from being there. Oh yeah, and I lent this guy my coat for the robbery that I didn't know he was going to be doing.

Well, just a thought, and I don't put too much stock in it. But it does feel like they are all throwing him under the bus. Maybe it's completely the truth.




But just a thought based off the idea that someone would lend their jacket -- something that could be traced back to them - to perpetrate a robbery. But I do see it as more plausible that they were dumb enough for such a thing and it was more about having a dark colored jacket ?

Wasn't there a guy in all white at san clemente robbery ?

I see where you're going...I'm thinking more along the lines that all 4 were involved enough to be charged, so it wouldn't really matter to me who actually pulled the trigger. You lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.

Are we allowed to post this? This is clearly Diano Gordon's facebook page, although it's from a couple years ago. Sorry if it's already been posted.

I can't tell at all what he's usually talking about, except that he posts things about being upset about something. Don't know what it is. He's not speaking English. Apparently someone he really cares about is in jail. And also, he is on house arrest during this time a few years ago. I will say this, others who speak english do seem to understand what he's saying. It's a separate language, like Cockney is a separate language in England and can't be understood by outsiders.

I was raised Catholic and the "what we believe" page applies to everyone. It doesn't matter if we agree or not. :) So the answer is much more simple. Catholics can have different views, obviously, but a church leader would absolutely have to follow along with doctrine and the Pope. That's why I asked about doctrine and whether or not he could publicly state an opinion that went against the religion's teachings.

Davey seems like a strong and kind person with a sense of humour. I hope he's being kind to himself too.

RC and Baptist teachings are vastly different though, as I'm sure you already know :) In Protestantism, there is a very WIDE array of teachings & beliefs. Even among the professing Baptist denoms - Southern, Indy, Calvinistic and non-affiliated.

The only reason it even matters for anyone to understand that, is to understand where DB may stand on the DP in his poor wife's brutal murder case.

I am in favor of them all going to prison. Even AB if he was involved with planning or whatever. (or there and pulling the trigger).

But correct me if I am wrong but AB is out and free right now.

That is why I question who is the boss of this crime family.

But in the guy's defense, his record only has marijuana possession offenses. So maybe he is not a burglar. Was just odd that he was making the call instructing the other two to not leave taylor behind.

I am. I'm also having a lot of trouble looking at their pictures. I can't look at their faces without imagining how Amanda felt when she was seeing them. :(

I looked at many of their FB pages today. Amanda's world was a complete 180 degree from that world. She was accustomed to fellowship dinners, small group gatherings, outreach ministries, etc. Not to say or assume she was sheltered at all but the Taylor/Watson world was NOT her world - that was a world that happened elsewhere. Definitely not in her home or her living room. Given the timeline in the PC statement, I'm thankful it was likely so quick, that Amanda likely didn't even have much time to process it all or give it much thought before she was rendered unconscious from either the initial blow to her face or the gunshots.

Anyway, that is my HOPE for her.

Is there an article that mentions AB?
It's not ringing a bell and I want locate who this is.
 
I don't know if the creatures who committed these heinous crimes against Amanda will get the death penalty, but if they do, I don't have high hopes that Indiana would execute them anytime in the near future.

The last execution in Indiana was Dec. 11, 2009, and none of the current death row inmates has an execution date.

I also agree that prosecutors will likely consider the family's wishes regarding pursuit of the death penalty. I just hope the maximum possible sentences are handed down, whether the DP is on the table or not. I don't want to see any deals or pleas happening that will let any of these guys see the outside of a prison cell anytime soon.

I believe as Davey is speaking of forgiveness, the most difficult will be to forgive himself. He knows deep inside that it was he who left the front door unlocked when he left for the gym. Also that he stayed in his car in front of the house on his phone for almost an hour before going inside. Not knowing if he got help to Amanda sooner would have helped or possibly save her. This will haunt him forever I think.

I don't think it will haunt him forever. I think (and I hope) he will have good counsel and support around him that will reiterate to him that this was NOT his doing. These 3 who took Amanda away (and yes, I believe all 3 are equally culpable) are 100% responsible. Given the nature of the damage done by the shot to her head, even if he had gone in 2 seconds later, it wouldn't have made any difference in saving her life or preserving the quality of her life. As per the PC statement, the ME declared it a fatal wound.

I do think though, he will lock doors for the rest of his life, and that's never a bad thing.
 
3 (4) ****s have no regard for anyone's life, property. Amanda had every right taken away from her! These thgs do not deserve any rights either............JMOO The perps get younger and younger, with dark hearts.
Every city has these low lives. If we don't bring in the DP for some of the most heinous crimes........all of us will suffer in taxes and building more pens to hold these animals for 70 years. Charles Manson & the family is a good example. If they get life some bleeding hearts will let them out someday due to over crowding. Look at how many try to escape and riot.............. what kind of a world will be for the young innocent. We should all be safe in our home. Rap sheets and probation didn't work to contain these ****s..............

I know, I too can't imagine the guilt I would personally be feeling. The one "comforting" (??) thought for him is that I doubt getting to her any earlier would have saved her. From my understanding of the wounds, that shot to the head was ultimately fatal immediately. I don't think one can go completely brain-dead from a head shot merely b/c she was there longer than she would have been had he immediately walked in the door. But I'm not a medical person. I could be completely wrong. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part that he would not have to feel that kind of guilt. It would be too heavy for me to bear for sure.
 
I'm astounded when we, as humans, can see the depth of evil like this. Pure evil... overwhelming to think about.
 
This is so scarey, I live in a small town run over now with drug addicts, welfare etc.
Just got notified on my cell phone that a lady had a home invasion in the better end of town.
She just ran to the doctors this morning, leaving her mom and 2 small children in the house.
While the man dressed all in black & hoodie was trying to break in the house, 911 was called.
He is on the run........so close to me. Nice it is every where!
 
On page 12 of the PC doc, it refers to "the addition" as in Watson drove to the addition. What is he talking about?

I also can't stop thinking about how complex this could get. I watched a trial earlier this year and some "gang type" witnesses just didn't remember saying any of the things they had said previously under oath to a federal grand jury. They played games with the attorneys and IMO just lied. It was like a game, like they were flipping off the court. Their code of protecting each other won out except for one witness who had been relocated. These games totally screwed up the trial, and the guy was found NG. (However, the defendant - Laurence Lovette - was already doing LWOP for another murder and this wasnt a DP case so hopefully he's locked up forever anyway.)

How are they going to protect the cooperating witness and other witnesses? I hope they have video of the interviews. These gang people play the system, changing their stories, "forgetting" information, etc.
 
Well, the goodness here is that some suspects have been charged in this crime. Everything else said is worthless because time only goes forward.

I believe this is the same person mentioned in this article:

The search happened at an apartment on Brendon Way Drive off E. 56th Street Thursday evening.

He tells Eyewitness News police came in, questioned people in the apartment, then left. He says he has no knowledge of the investigation of Amanda Blackburn's murder.

"Did they take anything as evidence?" Eyewitness News asked the 21-year-old man, Alonzo.

"Probably," he replied.

Same first name and street anyway.
