Are those real tears?

"This man is not totally worthless," Goines told jurors. "He has potential. He is not the worst of the worst. You don't have to kill him to stop him."

That's what the defense lawyer pleaded to jurors in what can only be described as a state of delusional rambling. Because, honestly- there is little evidence that Richard L. Davis has any potential, or that he's anything but worthless.

Thankfully, prosecutors had a better understanding of this sick monster, and they also shared that with the jury.

"When you think about how he victimized the most vulnerable among us - this is the only decision to make," said Brady O'Callaghan, Caddo assistant district attorney. "No one, no sacredness, is safe with Richard L. Davis."

Davis was convicted yesterday of aggravated rape of the girl. The assaults took place in 2004 and 2005.


The girl in the case was five.

Looking at the news from a day ago gives a little more insight into just how sick this monster is, and sadly shows that he wasn't the only one sexually abusing this child.

A Shreveport man who taught a 5-year-old to have sex with him and his girlfriend is facing the death penalty following a three-day capital rape trial that ended Monday with a speedy conviction.

Richard L. Davis showed little emotion as the unanimous verdict by the nine-woman, three-man jury was read by a Caddo deputy clerk.

The jury also found Davis, 35, guilty of indecent behavior with a juvenile for promoting a 16-year-old for prostitution in 1996. Monday's jury deliberations took one hour and 15 minutes.


The girlfriend, Melissa Ticer is also charged with sexually abusing the child, but blames Davis for her behavior...

During the video, the child told how Davis and Melissa Ticer performed oral sex on her, how they fondled her vaginal and anal areas and how she was forced to performed sex acts on the couple. Testimony showed that the child also was drugged and unconscious during some of the sexual encounters.


His lawyers had wanted the jury to believe he was only partly guilty of abusing the child. Right.

Btw, the tears, David 'cried' during the hearing. Feel sorry for him? Me neither.

Of course, maybe his lawyers somehow didn't know everything about Davis when they were pleading that he wasn't a lost cause...

"A person who prostitutes a 16-year-old girl, gets her pregnant and has a son, is charged with oral sexual abuse of his own 4-year-old child then rapes a 5-year-old girl "» he's on an elevator straight to hell. There is no other way to say it," assistant prosecutor Lea Hall said.


Oh, darn... it looks as if they did. Assholes.

h/t to a reader, who kindly suggested a sentence for these two: Death Sentence to Both of them....
yeah, I'm all for that.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

Jamie Rose Bolin

Jamie Bolin was last seen alive on Wednesday, while at the local library... and although she was reported missing when she failed to return home, no Amber Alert was issued until Thursday night. I understand the need to maintain certain criteria should be met when issuing an Amber Alert... I realise the importance of attempting to ensure that the public doesn't become conditioned to the alerts and slowly begin to ignore them... and yet, something in me is completely bothered that a 10 year old can go missing without people being informed of it. The police believe, according to a statement released that even if an Amber Alert had been released- we'd still be faced with the same horrible end to this story... but how can they know that? What is the possibility that someone may have seen even the smallest piece of evidence and called LE? Can we really accept that there was nothing that could have saved this child? Now, I don't mean to criticize anyone, I really don't. I ju...
