Brandon O’Quinn Rasberry, 32, was shot in the head in 2022 while he slept at an RV park in Nixon, Texas, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) east of San Antonio, investigators said. He had just moved in a few days before.
The boy’s possible connection to the case was uncovered after sheriff’s deputies were contacted on April 12 of this year about a student who threatened to assault and kill another student on a school bus. They learned the boy had made previous statements that he had killed someone two years ago.
The boy was taken to a child advocacy center, where he described for interviewers details of Rasberry’s death “consistent with first-hand knowledge” of the crime, investigators said.
I’m not usually for capital punishment, especially for minors, but I think putting this one down is more akin to euthanasia than murder. I really don’t believe that someone who managed to do this and keep quiet for two years at that age can be rehabilitated.
absolutely disgusting take
Just think that this person could be on a jury.
Yeah juries are scary things, get a couple of true crime lovers and you’re gong down no matter what, get a jury that relates to the killer and they might just walk despite the evidence being strong and go on to rape and kill many more…
I bet if we could see real statistics of how often serious the jury gets it wrong that it’s basically a coin flip
He probably votes
At that age they have no understanding what “dead” means. We do not know if the child kept quiet or if just no one took his ramblings seriously and kids that young often have no words for what happened especially if it is dramatic, the kid might have made drawings instead that went unnoticed. We also do not know if the gun owner threatened the child to stay quiet.
Please let people who know children and their mental capabilities and have experience in treating them as is needed do their job and stay away from making such brutal assumptions. It is ok to not know things, that’s why specialists exist. It is not about “believing” when it comes to a decision of life or death, feelings need to stay back. It is ok to find a child murdering someone disturbing without following a gut feeling for what should be done.
We actually do know if the kid kept quiet… because it mentioned in the article that he didn’t.
You sound like you very much like capital punishment for children…
Absolutely indefensible take.
You first
