GUILTY NC - Danielle Locklear, 15, Hope Mills, 11 March 2014

[borndem]

Agree! I can't even believe they're offering a chance at parole! He threw her body into a river (or was she still alive but incapacitated when they threw her in?). I really disagree with this plea deal. It seems far too lenient. I hope he doesn't take it.

It may be that since mandatory LWOP for minors was struck down by SCOTUS, the DA may be thinking that 25 yrs is feasible and it would be one less trial for the county. Dunno. I hope we will hear more about the "why" of it soon. I agree with you, he deserves LWOP. He didn't just shoot her dead -- if she were still alive when he threw her in the water, that was cruel and heinous, IMO.

And being awarded parole means he has to be a good prisoner -- that could be tuff for him...

But he would be a fool not to take it. A trial would be a big gamble. We'll see.

Here's some info about the SCOTUS decision --

From today's WRAL News:



Hmmmm.

If he's got good sense, he would take this in one heartbeat. A he!!uva deal, IMO.

Thank you for posting this borndem.

IDK, but the plea, in and of itself, is INFURIATING to me!

This :censored: doesn't deserve the option to be out in 25. He played judge, jury and executioner - and did so in a brutally heinous manner.

There should be an amendment for particularly heinous crimes committed by minors IMO. It just isn't right that victims pay with their lives, leaving their families suffer lifetimes of grief in the wake of the actions of these teenagers.

Once again, the rights of the perpetrators outweigh the victims. The dissonance is so obvious to me. I've said this before! How can Lady Justice be blinded to this disparity?

Perhaps it is time for a case to be heard before the SCOTUS (and another attempt for a federally mandated Victims Bill of Rights).

Change isn't easy. #WeThePeople need to step up, voice our concerns as constituents to our representatives, and make things happen. Otherwise the status quo will remain.

The recent sentence of P. Chism in the Colleen Ritzer case is another example. You can't tell me he didn't know right from wrong. Consecutive sentences were an option, but that didn't happen.

Entirely MOO, but that's just how I see it.

If nothing changes, nothing changes.

Our victims deserve better.

Good points, Kimi -- The SCOTUS ruling does not say that LWOP may not be given to minors; it just says that it cannot be mandatory. We've got a couple of bad ones locked up in NC prisons that were given LWOP, and LWOP is it for those two. We've certainly got more, of course, but those are two cases I followed because they happened in this area & the trials were live-streamed.

So if this cocky (IMO) dude decides to take his chances & go to trial, he does indeed have a chance at LWOP. So, as I say so often, we'll see...

Danielle Locklear's boyfriend gets 25 years for her 2014 murder

http://www.fayobserver.com/news/cri...cle_9c358c65-57ab-57c4-afa1-dba600e04099.html


"Malloy and his mother apologized to Locklear’s family, who wore pink ribbons and filled one side of the courtroom. Many family members told Malloy they may forgive him one day, but no time soon. Many expressed anger toward him, and many cried as they sat in the benches.
“I’m sorry, but it’s hard for me right now,” said Locklear’s mother, Rowna Fowler, as she stared straight at Malloy. “That was the only baby I had. I can’t have any more children and you took that away from me. Je’Michael, you ripped out my soul.”

District Attorney Billy West laid out details of the case:" ,,,

Locklear, 15, a student at South View High School was killed on March 11, 2014. Monday will be a decade since she was murdered.

Locklear was missing for 28 days before her body was found at the bottom of the South River on April 2, 2014.

Just over two years later, Je’Michael D. Malloy, 18 at the time of the killing, pleaded guilty in Locklear’s death. Malloy confessed to choking Locklear during a fight at a creek in Hope Mills, police said.

Police said Malloy and Dominic Tayvon Lock tied cinder blocks to her body and tossed her in the South River, just south of Autryville.

In June of 2016, Lock was sentenced to a minimum of six years in prison after he pleaded guilty in 2015 to being an accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. He was released after spending nearly 8.5 years in prison, records show
