I freaking love that show. and I too am an expert as a result of it. Joe Schillaci ftw.

I liked Shillaci at first but after watching more of the recent episodes I figured he is far from the best investigator.

^^Yeah, it's not rocket science. You show up, rule out the family, ask about known enemies, make phone calls and hassle people until you find someone that knows something. If that doesn't work after a couple weeks you shove it into a file cabinet and move on to the next one.

Homicide detectives impress me with their ability to not become alcoholically depressed.

"DURHAM - The male victim found dead at the scene of a Saturday night shooting at a Durham apartment complex that left two dead is the younger brother of Demario Atwater, 22, one of two men charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of UNC-Chapel Hill student body president Eve Carson. Shelton Henderson, Jr., 19, was found dead outside the apartment complex at 906 Glendale Ave., where the shooting took place shortly before 11:30 p.m., police said. Chapel Hill Police Chief Brian Curran and Orange-Chatham District Attorney Jim Woodall said Henderson was Atwater's younger brother, but that the teen's death will have little impact on the murder case against Atwater and his alleged accomplice, Laurence Lovette, 17. A second teen, Nathan Elmoore, 17, died of gunshot wounds after being transported to Duke Hospital in critical condition, police said. Christopher Hunter, 16, and James Downey, 21, were treated at Duke hospital with non-life threatening gunshot wounds. Police arrested two males today in connection with the shooting, but neither suspect has been charged with homicide in the ongoing investigation. Deamonte Tavaris Brooks, 18, has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and two counts of inflicting serious injury for the shooting of two surviving victims who had non-life threatening injuries, police said. Dylan Shaqaun Turner, 17, has been charged with possession of a firearm by a minor. The four victims were attending a party at the apartment complex when the shooting took place, said a college student and community volunteer who knows Atwater and his slain brother. April Swift of Goldsboro, a student at N.C. Central University who says she does volunteer anti-gang and teen pregnancy work, said Henderson, who she knew only as J.J., was staying with friends outside the city when he decided to go the party. Swift said Atwater's younger brother was not the intended target of the shooter, who was gunning for one of the friends he accompanied to the party. "He was really trying to stay out of trouble," Swift said. "He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's a real tragedy. He just chose to go out with friends and got killed." Henderson spent a night in the Durham County jail in August on a drug-dealing charge, a jail spokesperson said. Court records indicate the felony charge was still pending at the time of his death and that Henderson twice failed to appear in court for hearings. Durham Police Lt. Robert McLaughlin, watch commander, said he did not know if one of the dead from Saturday night's shooting was Atwater's brother. McLaughlin said police were still investigating the shooting. Demario Atwater is facing a host of state and federal charges in Carson's alleged kidnapping, robbery and murder. Orange-Chatham District Attorney Jim Woodall has already announced his intention to pursue the death penalty against Atwater, and the U.S. Attorney General is mulling whether to mount a federal capital case. Carson was found shot to death just after 5 a.m. on March 5 in a wooded neighborhood near the UNC-Chapel Hill campus. Security photos taken around the times when someone used Carson's ATM card at a bank and a convenience store, along with confidential sources, led police to Atwater and Laurence Lovette, 17, who is also charged in the January shooting death of Abhijit Mahato, a Duke University engineering student.

Trying to stay out of trouble my ass. He shouldnt have been out at a party. Always make them out to be a victim. When in reality, the lifestyle and company he chose to keep lead to his death.

HE WAS THE VICTIM

WHERE DID I SAY SOMEONE GOING TO A PARTY DESERVES TO DIE????

All I said was that IF he was so-called trying to stay out of trouble he should have stayed his ass at home instead of being around the same shit that got his bro in trouble.

1/21/2009 2:39:57 PM

I'd agree to that

but since instead they'll just be wasting tax payer money while living.. fuck'em. Die.

1/21/2009 2:44:24 PM

I thought it was common knowledge that the appeals process typically consumes more in resources and money than just letting them rot in jail.

If it was a simple hanging or firing squad then I'd say yeah, but its not that easy anymore.

Do people sentenced to life in prison not appeal?

They sure do. And it is cheaper than death penalty appeals.

The other animal was 17 at the time of murder, so it can't face the death penalty?

What if the murder took place the day before its 18th? It still isn't eligible for death?

These homies sure did show their street cred. I'm ready for BridgetSPK to swoop in and explain how society coerced them to resort to crime and that they should be given more welfare monies to pull them out of poverty, teaching them to be useful members of society.

12/30/2009 2:31:28 PM

^ Everything you post is about black people in some capacity.

12/30/2009 3:58:13 PM

Well its animals like those which make me support the death penalty. They do not deserve a cot and a meal everyday for the next 50 years in their pathetic lives hanging out with their gangster buddies at the Max Security prison on Western Blvd. For some reason I think that these guys are not even remorseful for what they did. They are probably just pissed off that the man is after them again and have them in jail.

My post has nothing to deal with the color of their skin asshat. I am merely speaking of these individuals in a manner to which they are.

not ALL black people are thugs.

Not ALL Asians are good at math.

not ALL Jews are good with money.

but, I'd rather have a Jewish accountant.

You don't see them marketing Bassmaster magazine in Harlem. Demographics is a proven science.

12/30/2009 9:42:00 PM

^^^^,^^^^^?

Y’all are a little sensitive.

All OopsPowSrprs did was point out that HUR sure does seem to post a lot about black people. In this instance, HUR didn’t have to mention the race of his subjects because we’ve all seen the pictures in this thread.

While he certainly used a touch of hyperbole, OopsPowSrprs is right. HUR does post a lot about black people. I mean, come on…there’s no way y’all could be regular posters and not note the number of times he ends up ranting about welfare queens, Lateefa and Laquisha, living in a mythical ghetto where everybody’s rocking the high life?

Wait. I bet y’all are going to tell me that, since HUR has never specified that his fictional Lateefas and Laquishas are black, then I must be racist for assuming that’s what he means.
