Rest in peace, Sylvia. You did not deserve this and did nothing wrong. I'm sorry we could not stop it from happening. Thank you @MsFacetious for finding and sharing this.
Thinking of you, your da, your brother and the rest of your family and friends this Christmas. Sending you all my best wishes for peace and resolution.
I'm also thinking a sudden snap led to this murder. Everything points to an after-the-fact attempt to cover things up. If it was premeditated, there are plenty of much better ways and places to commit a murder in that area. Doing it in their home reeks of an unplanned kill, followed by an...
Thanks for posting. The State Police link you posted actually states:
The investigation revealed that William T. Smith, age 20, of Dugger, IN, on two separate occasions, had allegedly physically and sexually battered and strangled two females under the age of 17. (emphasis mine).
So, he's 20...

Ack! Didn't even see your earlier post - we must have cross-posted! I'd just thought it might be useful information to consider. Sorry if it came across as smartass response to your post!
I will note that 8 rounds is a very popular magazine size for sub-compact 9mm semi-auto pistols which are generally designed for concealed carry.
Mississippi also appears to be a "constitutional carry" state where no permit is required to carry a concealed handgun, not that someone bent on...
No. St. Louis County is big jurisdiction (+/- 1,000,000 people) with a severely-underfunded and critically over-worked public defender's office (the prosecutor's office being "only" underfunded and over-worked). I don't even know how many (few) capital case public defenders the office has these...
@Niner Thanks for the nudge!
Cheatham's case has a new case number: 18SF-CR01149-01 which is why I wasn't getting updates. At the court appearance on June 6th where she waived her preliminary hearing and entered a plea of not guilty, the Judge entered an order stating "case is passed to August...
