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.  

Courtney Lockhart Gets Sentenced to “Life Without Parole,” for the Murder of Lauren Burk

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 9 whites and 3 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

Lauren Burke, murdered at a mere 18 years of age by Courtney Lockhart, after she had fought off his attempted rape.

 

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

  Lauren Burk

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?
