GUILTY AL - Casey White, prisoner, & Vicky Sue White (Deceased), CO w/sher office, Lauderdale, 29 Apr'22 *guilty of escape, disposed of murder* #7

I'm trying to make sense of the charges of murder for VW. As I read the above posts, I'm reading that CW is being charged with the murder of VW. How would that hold up in court if VW's autopsy was ruled suicide?

I think it qualifies because a fatality occurred during the commission of a felony.

Not dangerous? I think the families of his victims, the hostages, and those CW fired shots at when trying to carjack a vehicle beg to differ with OP that CW is not dangerous!

"On the night of December 2, 2015, Casey White broke into his ex-girlfriend’s home, killed her dog, and held her and two other people hostage- firing shots as they escaped. But that’s not all; after that, he stole a car, tried to hijack a trucker at gunpoint, and shot another woman whose car he also tried to steal in Tennessee.
White peacefully surrendered that night. He was sentenced to 75 years in prison. While there, he confessed to the murder of Connie Ridgeway and was charged in 2020."

Fugitive, Casey White’s lengthy criminal history

Casey White’s, criminal history begins in 2015. This is not the first time he has been on the run.

Charging him w felony murder in her death makes her a victim. Shes not a victim. Shes the farthest thing from a victim. She knew what she was doing was wrong, she knew what the consequences would be, she knew how much of a threat to society he was, and when they were closing in on them she made the decision to take her own life because she didnt want to deal w the consequences of her actions. She put so many lives in danger by doing what she did

But -- she died during his escape. That's the current charge as I understand it.

(Yes, she facilitated that escape.)

Odd & intriguing case, this one!

I understand the legal piece. It just doesn't morally sit right w me.

It doesn’t sit right with me either. She helped him escape in the first place.

It's not about avenging victims, it's about protecting society.

It's not about avenging victims, it's about protecting society.

If he wasnt already spending the rest of his life in jail i would totally support this charge. He was already sentenced to 75 years for prior convictions, and he will be going to trial for capital murder.

He is already doing 75 years….he is not going to see the light of day.
