“Troubled Teen Get “15 Years to Life” For Killing Her Cousin”

The ReadyWriter

Troubled teen Tiana Brown (pictured to the right), was convicted of killing her cousin (Shannon Braithwaite pictured inset above), in a jealous rage over the girl’s sneakers. Browne, now 18, was three years younger when she plunged a kitchen knife into Shannon Braithwaite 49 times and was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison.

Browne had issues, she was a runaway, a rape victim and the prodigal child of the family, when Shannon’s religious mother felt the Christian thing to do was to invite this troubled, pimpled face teen to stay with them at their Crown Heights home. And just two days later, Browne killed her 16-year-old cousin Shannon in a crime relatives say and believe was motivated by her intense jealousy over her cousin’s sneakers, electronic gadgets and success in school.

Brown was emotionally damaged and mentally scared, when she discovered that her mother was raped by her grandmother’s boyfreind, who was initially her father. Browne’s excuse for killing her cousin, was that; she was suffering “post-traumatic-stress disorder” after being repeatedly raped by a classmate a few years before the slaying.

Marva Braithwaite (Shannon’s mother), delivered a passionate message directly to Browne in a Brooklyn Supreme Court on Friday. “You rewarded me by leaving me childless, ripping out my very being,” “When you sit behind bars, you can never say you weren’t loved,” “Shannon loved you. I loved you.”

Although Tiana Brown apologized and said “she was sorry for everything” Judge Wayne Ozzi had no mercy as he opposed Brown’s sentencing “I know you said you’re sorry”, The judge said “but your actions speak louder than words.”

According to the NY Daily News, Theresa Monique Jefferson, 33, was arrested for pouring bleach and Pine Sol on another woman at a Baltimore Wal-Mart on Saturday.

Jefferson turned herself into authorities after the incident and is being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center on $350,000 bail.

Cops told the Baltimore Sun that Jefferson and the unidentified victim had been feuding long before the incident. According to police, Jefferson has a child with the victim’s boyfriend.

In addition to injuring the unidentified woman, 19 other people were sent to area hospitals for treatment of respiratory problems caused by toxic fumes from the mixture of household cleaning products.

This is obviously not the type of behavior that we would expect from people at our stores,” Wal-Mart spokeswoman Dianna Gee told the Sun. “And we want to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused other customers.”

The store was closed for two hours for cleaning.

Amanda Knox was acquitted today of a murder that riveted three countries for the past four years and just hours later was whisked away from an Italian prison, ending her four-year ordeal.

The Seattle woman’s legs buckled and she let out a silent cry when the judge in Perugia, Italy, announced that the  appeals court had thrown out her conviction for the murder of her British roommate Meredith Kercher and vacated her 26-year prison sentence.

Knox, 24,  was hustled out of the courtroom, barely able to walk, stumbling while being hauled along by court
officers. The former exchange student was crying and doubled over, her head occasionally coming up for big breaths of air.

Hours later, a pair of black vehicles slid out of the gates of Capanne Prison outside of Perugia, with Knox in the back seat. She is expected to return to home to Seattle immediately.

Both Knox, 24, and Sollecito, 27, confessed to the murder of Meredith Kercher in 2007. They were sentenced to serve sentences of 26 years and 25 years respectively.

Rudy Guede, a black man who was sentenced to 16 years in prison for the rape and murder of Meredith Kercher, has exhausted his appeals.

Do you feel the media has once again influenced a court to free a murderer who should spend the rest of her life in prison?

“Bodyguard Testify’s: Dr. Murray Wanted To Go Back To The Mansion After Jackson’s Death To Remove Michael’s Bleaching Creme”

The ReadyWriter

Michael Jackson’s security guard Faheem Muhammed, who headed Jackson’s security detail, took the stand this afternoon in Dr. Conrad Murray’s involuntary manslaughter trial. He was among the first to arrive in the bedroom on the day Jackson died.

Muhammed testified that Dr. Conrad Murray was trying to revive Jackson in a bedroom of a Holmby Hills mansion as the pop star’s two older children were present before asking whether anyone knew CPR.

He testified that when he saw Jackson, he appeared to be dead. “His eyes were open and his mouth was slightly opened,” said Muhammed.

Muhammed removed the children, Paris and Prince, from the room and returned to assist another guard. He said “Paris was on the ground, balled up, crying,” and Prince “had a shocked look,” he added.

He later accompanied the children and Jackson’s personal assistant, who also testified Wednesday to the hospital. They went to a private room as they waited for word about Jackson.

Muhammed also testified that Murray asked him for a ride back to Jackson’s mansion from the hospital after they learned of Jackson’s death. The doctor made a similar request of Jackson’s personal assistant at the hospital as well.

‘There’s some cream in Michael’s room that he wouldn’t want the world to know about,’ said Muhammed. “He requested that I give him a ride back to the house so the world wouldn’t know about the cream.”

“The Trial Begins For Michael Jackson’s Physician, Conrad Murray”

The ReadyWriter

 

The world was shocked when on June 25, 2009, pop-icon Michael Jackson died of acute propofol intoxication after he suffered cardiac arrest at his home in the Holmby Hills, CA.

Autopsy results have shown that Jackson, known as the King of Pop, died at age 50 from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol and other sedatives.

Murray was by the singer’s side on the day he died and pleaded not guilty in January to a charge of involuntary manslaughter. He faces up to four years in prison if convicted. His lawyers will argue that Jackson drank the propofol while the doctor was away from his bedside.

Opening statements in the trial began today and the judge has said the trial will last until October 28. The jury consists of six whites, five Hispanics and one African-American.

Murray, a cardiologist and surgeon, practiced medicine inside and outside of California in recent years. His medical licenses in the state was suspended earlier this year.

The defense contends that Jackson killed himself, and that Murray was unaware that his patient swallowed a cocktail of drugs, including a dose of the anesthetic, which is not made to be swallowed.

But the prosecution played an audio of Michael Jackson slurring his speech on May 10, 2009. The audio was recorded on Dr. Murray’s iPhone while Jackson was under the heavy influence of unknown drugs.

The prosecution says Dr. Murray was fully aware of how drugged Jackson was a month before he died. Yet the doctor continued to administer potentially deadly drugs to Jackson.

Murray’s licenses in Nevada and Texas remain intact but his criminal charges prompted local medical boards to issue restrictions that prohibits him from using or administering most anesthetic agents, including propofol.

Stay tuned people as all of the dark details will be revealed before it’s over!
