Death sentence commuted for allegedly 'retarded' black in killing of White Philadelphia police officer PHILADELPHIA -- A judge has thrown out the death sentence imposed on a man convicted of the shooting death of a Philadelphia police officer more than two decades ago. Common Pleas Judge M. Teresa Sarmina ruled Friday that 50-year-old Edward Bracey had established below-average intellectual functioning as demonstrated by an IQ of 74. The U.S. Supreme Court has barred as unconstitutional execution of anyone deemed by a state to be mentally disabled. Bracey's sentence is now life in prison without possibility of parole in the 1991 murder of officer Daniel Boyle. The ruling prompted strong reaction from law enforcement. Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams held a news conference Tuesday morning attended by Boyle's family. John J. McNesby, president of Lodge 5 of the Fraternal Order of Police, called the decision "an absolute disgrace." - (Black-on-white) |

Popular (White) sorority member 'shot dead by a (black) woman in front of terrified friends in road rage dispute' A violent ex-con has been charged with multiple counts in the road rage shooting death of a 21-year-old female Georgia college student. Sparkles Lindsay, 22, followed Kimberly Kilgore, 21, into her gated apartment complex last year and shot her to death while her best friend sat in the passenger seat and watched in horror, police say. Ms Lindsay faces a charge of malice murder, two counts of felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm during commission of a felony. The 22-year-old and her friends reportedly had a heated altercation with Ms Kilgore and friend Shannon Stone around 2am Oct 11 just outside the Kennesaw apartment complex where Ms Kilgore lived. Despite the complex being gated, Ms Lindsay drove into the parking lot, and escalated the incident into a physical altercation. The violent woman then pulled out a gun and fired multiple shots at Ms Kilgore, police told multiple local media outlets. Ms Stone helplessly watched her best friend get gunned down. ‘I was in the passenger seat and she was looking right at me when it happened. I was the last sight she saw before her life was taken, and I couldn’t stop it,’ the grieving friend said. - (Black-on-white) |
