There is another point to make about the murder of Lauren Burk. She was not jogging alone in Washington D.C., like Chandra Levy, nor did she get in a car with three unknown men, while drunk, as did Natalee Holloway.

Lauren Burk was abducted while leaving her boyfriend's apartment, something one does every day. Channon Christian was taken, along with her boyfriend, Chris Newsom, outside her best friend's apartment.

Neither was doing anything you would consider foolish. The fact is that predators hang around apartment complexes looking for these kinds of victims, especially at night. The world is more dangerous than many want to believe, and is going to become moreso.  

Lauren Burk's Murderer, Courtney Lockhart, Gets Sentenced to “Life Without Parole”

The jury took only an hour to reach a sentence of “life without parole.”

Strangely, the prosecution didn’t call a single witness during the sentencing phase. Lauren Burk’s family seems to accept the result.

Lockhart’s mother offered a “tearful apology.” His father, whom Lockhart hadn’t seen in 20 years, testified about “not being there for his son.”

The racial makeup of the jury was finally described. It consisted of nine whites and three blacks.

NS: Translation of “life without parole”: 10-20 years inside.

As bad as it is that Lockhart was not sentenced to death, and that he will likely get out of jail a reasonably young man, with the option of again murdering innocents, things could have gone much worse. At least he and his family showed remorse. Contrast that to the demeanor of Vanessa Coleman and her family, in the Knoxville Horror case.

Coleman should have been convicted of capital murder and rape, and sentenced to death, for the gang-rape, savage beating, sexual torture, and murder of Channon Christian. Instead, as a black and a female, she got a double affirmative action bonus from racist and sexist jurors and mischievous Judge Richard Baumgartner, and was thus only convicted of “facilitating” the rape and murder of Channon Christian, and sentenced to 53 years in prison.

And though (or because?) Channon Christian’s brutalized, disfigured corpse was barely recognizable, Coleman and her family showed no remorse whatsoever. Indeed, following the gang-rape-torture murders of Christian and her boyfriend, Christopher Newsom, Coleman wrote in her diary, “I’ve had one hell of an adventure in the big TN,” and “Ha Ha.” When she was interrogated by police days later, she mentioned nothing untoward regarding Christian’s appearance or condition, even just before she was murdered. Coleman talked instead of the hearty breakfast she cooked for her partners in crime. At Coleman’s sentencing, she winked at people in court, and her father was—and remains—defiant. Greg Coleman wants a white female who had nothing to do with his daughter’s crimes, punished in her stead.

If America’s diversitopian transformation is permitted to continue, it will become harder and harder, and eventually, impossible, to get convictions at any level of punishment in open-and-shut cases of racist, black-on-white, or brown-on-white murder.

Courtney Lockhart Convicted of the Murder of Lauren Burk

Courtney Lockhart was found guilty of capital murder today in the death of Lauren Burk. The eight men and four women took six-and-a-half hours to reach the verdict. They asked the judge to define "intent" and to see Lockhart’s full confession video a second time, before reaching a verdict.

Miss Burk was found naked and dying after being shot in the back four miles from the Auburn campus. The judge explained that intent was the key issue as to whether Lockhart could be found guilty of capital murder, where the death penalty could be given, or felony murder, which would spare Lockhart’s life.

The sentencing phase will begin immediately. Death or “life without parole” are the two options.

The Prosecution Rests, in the Lauren Burk Murder Trial

Today, the prosecution rested in the Lauren Burk murder trial.

Yesterday, the jury viewed the tape of the suspect’s police interview. The suspect, Courtney Lockhart, gave his story of what happened.

Experts also testified that Lockhart had Burk’s blood on his shirt when arrested.

On the tape, Lockhart told of driving around the Auburn campus that day until he spotted Lauren Burk. Do you sort of wonder what Lockhart’s purpose was in driving around a college campus?

“I came up behind her and made her get in the car...and she was just screaming,” Lockhart said on tape.

Lockhart admitted that he made Miss Burk take her clothes off. He said that she begged for her life and offered to help him, but Lockhart supposedly said that she couldn’t. The gun “went off.”

The defense is presumably going to be post traumatic stress on an “Iraq war veteran.”

The Daily Beast, of all people, had a piece on the case a week ago entitled, “PTSD: How the U.S. Army Failed Veteran Courtney Lockhart.” The theme of the article is that Lockhart should not get the death penalty, because the war made him a killer.

NS: If ‘the war made Lockhart a killer,’ shouldn’t The Daily Beast be arguing against his being prosecuted at all? Or is it racist to be logically consistent?

Racist Congressman Says, ‘White Boys Go to Jail, and Black Men Get Out of Jail Free’
By Nicholas Stix

Toogood Reports/A Different Drummer

Time was, you had law-and-order legislators, and soft-on-crime legislators. But the times they are a changin,’ and a new type has emerged: The racist, black legislator who does everything he can to unjustly benefit blacks, and unjustly disadvantage whites. That includes changing the laws to diminish or eliminate jail time for crimes performed predominantly by black men, and introducing jail time – extremely long jail time, at that – for crimes, and even for acts that previously were not crimes, but that are predominantly carried out by white men. Meet Democrat Detroit Congressman John Conyers Jr.

As William Saletan notes in his July 19 Slate column, in 1995, Cong. Conyers fought to reduce the chances that drug dealers would do significant jail time, and sought to prevent “non-violent” drug dealers from doing any time at all. (I challenge you to find any “non-violent” drug dealers in the city of Detroit.) Conyers fought for safeguards that would make it harder for police to arrest, and for prosecutors to convict drug dealers. He demanded more flexibility in sentencing, and told the feds to keep their hands off such cases. (Federal involvement means longer sentences, no parole, and little wiggle room for the plea bargains that are the heart of urban “justice.”)

[In 1995,] Republicans wanted to build more jails and fill them with scoundrels. Conyers replied that punishments short of jail were more appropriate for “nonviolent” offenders. He questioned whether first-time drug offenders deserved five-year sentences. He dismissed prison as “a breeding ground for more serious crime.” He argued that public funds would be better spent on programs such as midnight basketball. “We cannot incarcerate ourselves out of crime,” he said. He dismissed the GOP’s theory that harsh penalties would deter lawbreakers.

So, in the face of demands to get tough on (non-violent) corporate criminals, Conyers must be seeking to protect their rights, too, right? Wrong. As Saletan suggests, Conyers’ attitude has been ‘lock ‘em up, and throw away the key!’

Three months ago, Conyers introduced the “Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act of 2002,” trumpeting its beefed-up sentences of five and 10 years for various offenses. The best way to deter securities fraud, he asserted, was to throw lawbreakers in the slammer. ‘Tougher penalties would make it far less likely that future Enrons would occur,’ said Conyers.”...

Saletan does well to expose “liberal” (read: socialist) hypocrisy, but his own liberal timidity restrains him from pointing out what is obvious to anyone who has followed John Conyers’ career: It’s all about race, stupid!

Urban drug dealers are predominantly black; corporate criminals are predominantly white. The racist Conyers wants to keep as many black men as possible OUT of jail, and put as many white men as possible IN jail. It’s as simple as that.

Recall that since the 1980s, Cong. Conyers has led the congressional charge for slavery reparations. In January, 1989, he introduced H.R. 40, the Commission to Study [wink, wink] Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act. At his web site, the Congressman proudly observes, “I have re-introduced HR 40 every Congress since 1989, and will continue to do so until it’s passed into law.”

Cong. Conyers thinks that all whites should be paying all blacks ... forever. That’s another way of saying that he believes in slavery – as long as blacks are the slavemasters.

And considering that, excepting for major mobsters, or rich inside traders sentenced to Club Fed, a jail sentence for a white man is also a sentence to slavery and even death, through racial murder, or via AIDS through race-based rape, Conyers is betting on a prison-slavery-death-to-the-white-man trifecta.

But let us not give all the credit to Conyers; there’s enough to go around. William Saletan, in his timidity, turns a case of racism into one of liberal hypocrisy, and the Stupid Party (SP, aka GOP) has gone Conyers and Saletan one better. Rather than denounce Conyers as a racist and an anti-business opportunist, SP legislators have taken his proposal for a maximum ten-year sentence for corporate crooks, and doubled it to twenty years. With “opponents” like the SP, how can Conyers lose?
