GUILTY OK - Rebecca Sedille, 50, shot to death, Oklahoma City, 21 Dec 2010

[IWannaKnow]

Well, the wife was a friend on FB. Her pic was a little odd, considering the circumstances, IMO but maybe I'm reading too much into it. She likes the Bible and K-9 Corrections, which is apparently a prison rehab program.

And more than a few friends with Disney avatars......hmmmmm. Seems like an odd couple, for sure since he is into jagermiester and AK-47. I would like to know a bit more about Mrs. Sedille.

I'm not Missizzy, but the date was hinky as well. Could all be perfectly above board.....

ETA: She liked K-9 corrections because a family member was/is involved in the program, not AJS.

Mine too. I wonder how the wife felt having a gun to her head during sex? Yikes!!!! I hope this is not a common practice.

I'm not trying to defend this guy, or even say that this type of fantasy is a common practice: BUT, I know a woman who says that she and her husband have acted out her "rape fantasy" to spice things up......don't know if it included a gun or not.

What seems like crazy to most of us might just feel normal to some!

 

[Peliman]

I think I got it, the gun just loaded itself without his knowledge. He just happened to pull the slide back, loading the gun and placing the hammer in the cocked position. Then the gun just went off, maybe it went off by accident or maybe he had to pull the trigger first.

So the gun loaded itself and probably took the safety off itself too. No mention of that, no mention of just how the gun went off either. I suppose this magical gun pulled it's own trigger.

OK I'm straight now, it was an accidental magical gun. :innocent:

 

[zadari]

people are just WIERD .. wtf man ..

 

[impatientredhead]

I am not shocked by the gun play fantasy, but he is still responsible for being outcome. He knowingly took part in act that was risky and failed to take safety precautions.

My guess is they both knew the gun was loaded. If you have fear/sex/risk all tied together as your kink it takes increasing amounts of stimuli to get the same effect. An unloaded gun is just a prop.

And who knows maybe she didn't know it was loaded and thought it was a prop. She has paid a huge price at this point, and he is responsible for what happened.

I guess I'm amazed that WS'ers are so willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. After all, Becca isn't here to tell her side of the story, so we are all just accepting his story that this was consensual. If exes come forward and say yeah, she was into that, I will eat my words but just hmmmmmm. PLUS, this did happen in OK, so I hold zero hope of ever getting an autopsy or the straight story. MOO. There are a few factors here which I find disturbing, including the age difference and the vast difference in their interests as stated on FB.

 

[ziggy]

I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt - I think he hatched a clever story and as time goes on, motive will be revealed. I think he's narcissistic to believe anyone would believe his story!

"Doubt" is pretty much what we all discuss here and it becomes automatic after awhile. Nobody is saying this shouldn't be investigated, just that we shouldn't jump to conclusions, that there are sexual tastes out there that most of us find odd.

If you go back to the beginning of the thread, I think you'll find most posters find his explanation highly convenient and unlikely.

 

[Blondie in Spokane]

I guess I am jaded but I'm not buying his story one bit!

 

[Steely Dan]

He did call the police immediately. I'll have to find out more before I decide on him.

I am missing the clever part of a story that involves him holding a loaded gun to the head of a now dead woman. That it was during a consensual sex act doesn't mean he isn't going to spend the rest of his life in jail.

And in this clever story he says they did this with an unloaded gun in the past, he thought it was unloaded this time, which would mean she did as well, so she never consented to having sex with a loaded gun to her head.

The story is either so clever it goes right over my head since it is an admission of guilt, a complete absence of knowledge of the law on his part if he thinks that would absolve him of responsibility, or it is the truth.

Well one thing is pretty clear to me: penalty for accidental shooting is usually a lot less than for an intentional one. So it'd be highly unlikely for someone to spend the rest of their life in jail for a shooting deemed to be accidental. I mean, look at this case ( see link). The guy shot and killed his wife playing a game with a shotgun, and he should be out in 1.5 years with good behavior.
"But 13 weeks later, Joshua Beasley shot his wife in their Lincoln apartment playing a game with a shotgun. Hours later, she died."

I would like to hear the 911 call!

 

[Lera213]

a gun owner and AK liking guy know about guns...no way in heck would he not check to make sure the gun wasn't loaded before their fantasy.

WTF? That article makes it sound like pre-meditated murder to me! Is this some good ol' boy backwoods justice system?

OK, a tiny bit more information:

Gun Went Off During Sex Play, Man Tells Police
Rebecca Sedille's Husband Says Gun was for Sexual Fantasy Play, Thought it was Unloaded

According to The Oklahoman, an affidavit filed in court says the 23-year-old Sedille told investigators that, during sex play the night of Dec. 21, he took a handgun he thought was unloaded from a shelf beside the bed and racked the slide back, cocking the weapon. According to the affidavit, he told police he placed the gun to her head and it fired.

OK, so according to his FB, HE is the gun nut. Who exactly slipped those bullets into that gun if he "thought" it was unloaded? Must be that magic gun Peliman mentioned. I like the phrases "Gun went off during sex play" and "it fired". That implies magic. Peliman, I think you are on to something. :crazy:

If he can convince a jury it was an accident, no he's not going to spend the rest of his life in jail - it's manslaughter and could even be found to be misdemeanor manslaughter which probably doesn't mean he would do much time at all.

If there is not enough evidence to get him for murder, the DA will have to make a deal or go for the lesser charge.

Motive? That might help if she had an estate worth something, but if there is any evidence that they had this kind of fantasy sex life, it's possible that there would be enough reasonable doubt as to his actual intent that he could get away with murder.

I don't believe if you have guns, and you use them in this way that you would and fire a gun unless you were absolutely sure there was nothing in the chamber.

So, I believe he is using this story to possibly get less time - and his ends justified his means. I guess we shall see. The clever part is not going away for murder 1, when it could very well have been a premediatated plan. Proving his intent is going to be very difficult.

Thanks for that link: snipped

"Joshua Beasley will spend three to five years in prison for second-degree assault that resulted in the death of his wife, Alaina."

He pleaded nolo contendere to the second-degree assault - as my criminal law professor (who is a public defender) said, "it makes my job easier when the only witness is dead."

 

[QueenD]

If he goes to trial, that should be interesting. Listening to testimonies of how they did this in the past. WOW and OMG is all I can say. Judge and attorneys will surely need a drink after that.
