NewslettersSO EXACTLY WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET THE DEATH PENALTY IN BEAUFORT COUNTY
Submitted by anjil29920 on Thu, 2008-04-10 17:03.
TWO BRETT KINNEY KILLERS---LIFE
WELDEN KILLER----LIFE
MULTIPLE CHILD KILLERS---NOT EVEN 20 YEARS
I GUESS YOU ONLY GET DEATH IF YOU KILL A COP. IF THERE WERE POSTER CHILDREN FOR THE DEATH PENALTY, WICK, MORGAN-MAJORS, AND DYKES WOULD BE IT. NO VIOLENT HISTORY? WHAT ABOUT THE ARMED ROBBERY? AND IF SOMEONE HAD COME FORWARD WITH OTHER INFO(OF WHOM I WILL NOT NAME, THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE) MAYBE WICK WOULD HAVE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED!

Cop killers get life to when the two deputies got shot that lowlife got life NOT DEATH must have to be a senator or govoner or something HIGHER
that certain people helped Wick by withholding testimony? If you know that to be a fact you need to put it out here for the world and hopefully the Sheriff and the Solicitor to see. These things happen during sentencing. What I mean is that prior violent acts get overlooked or excused because those with knowledge fail to come forward or purposely withhold details. These folks need to be outed just as an accomplice would be.
that was that persons decision to come forward or not. they will have to live with that decision. i do however understand not wanting to in this case. they didnt call this person as a witness for whatever reason. so i am not passing judgement, i may have seemed to. but i did not mean to.
But as you know, people need to be forthcoming in issues such as this. Thanks for your honesty and caring.
no one called me i was told that they was then the next thing i heard was that he pleaded guilty. and that there would be no trial.
and no one would need to testify. then i pick up the paper and then this.
so now it up to the lord to bring justice.
and i think i know who you are we live kinda close

was sentenced to death for killing Tate and Coursen.
Didn't the SC supreme Court over turn that I could be wrong but thought I read death was overturned to life without parole.. Can some one confirm this???
In a list posted on 5 Feb 2008, it appears he sits on Death Row at LCI.

Thanks for the clarifacation I thought we were going to pay for him as well but thought I read they overturned the death sentance thank god thet did not... HOLY SMOKES wqe might as well pay for life heck some have been on D row since early 80's WHATS UP WITH THAT??????
I bet if the victim was the mother of a judge or someone high up the suspect would have been put to death ! Our system has failed us since the seventies. judges have no guts(balls). Sorry didn't meant to offend anyone.
I hope that I don't see this on one of those murder story shows in the future.But I kind of think they made the right decision because he may not feel bad about it now.But he will when he is spending the rest of his days alone in jail and isolated from the world.And eventually his cauntioness would kill hime.Especially when he relizes that he won't even get to see his familly again.And I hope this means no visitation rights because he really doesn't deserve it.Just like that like that old lady's familly can't see her anymore or speak to her any more.He will now have to suffer and then die.As opposed to just dying.

They don't give his mom grandparent's visitation and the moms won't have to go throught that hell. But I hope this town has learned it's lesson on that
I guess you didn't hear what he did to this poor woman. I don't want to mention the malice of this murder. Its easy to say he got what he deserved. Would he have deserved that decision if it had been your mother or grandmother ???? I think not, he should die for what he did. Now he was given life so his children wouldn't see him on death row WTF ??????? He should of thought of that before he killed the victim.
Want to take a guess why there was no death penalty? No jury. Every time a judge hands down a death penalty from a guilty plea, appeals court and the Supreme Court throws it out and commutes the sentence to life. That and white privilege.
Please tell me what type of crime is considered, by law, to deserve the death penalty. I've heard varying things, but the one common thing is that it has to be pre-meditated murder. Just looking for clarification.
Not a lawyer, but taking the life of another with malice aforethought, or premeditated is murder. The penalties are either life imprisonment or death. In the defense, mitigating circumstances can be presented. The judgment for the penalty has to determine the state of mind of the criminal. One site says: "Some countries allow conditions that "affect the balance of the mind" to be regarded as mitigating circumstances. This means that a person may be found guilty of "manslaughter" on the basis of "diminished responsibility" rather than murder, if it can be proved that the killer was suffering from a condition that affected their judgment at the time. Depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and medication side-effects are examples of conditions that may be taken into account when assessing responsibility.
In Wick's case, the judge considered that he was under the influence of drugs at the time of the crime, therefore gave a life sentence instead of death.
OK, so I'm just gonna bite the bullet here. This was an extremely horrible case, and I am not trying to say I sympathize with Wick in any way. But...based on the definition of "premeditated murder", given the fact that he was gorked out of his mind on drugs, was it really premeditated? Could it not be said that the judge made the only correct decision he could make since it was murder, but not necessarily premeditated?
From the newspaper account, it was murder because it was premeditated. Wick planned the murder ahead. However in the sentencing, the judge had two options, life or death. The judge considered that the effect of the drugs impaired Wick's ability to determine right and wrong, which goes to the mental state of mind. The drugs did not impair his ability to plan or commit the crime, but he had no sense of right and wrong. If he had not been on drugs, there would be no reason not to give the death sentence.
I preferred the death sentence, but if that is the law of our land then we have to abide by it, even though we may not agree with it. Like an umpire, the judge makes the call and that was his determination.
I'm not trying to argue, but the way it was explained in past newspaper articles, he broke into her home to steal money and she woke up and confronted him. When she refused to give him money or tried to stop him from taking it, he brutally beat, raped and murdered her. Did he admit to planning to kill her before he asked for money, etc.? There have been other posters on here who said that he got angry when she refused him, flew into a rage, and proceeded with his despicable acts. I admit that I have not followed the story from the beginning, but based on what I've heard, he killed her because she woke up and surprised him and he was angry when she refused to give him money. Which is the truth? Was he planning to kill her when he went to her home, or did he fly into a drug-induced rage while he was there? These things could make the difference between premeditation and "spur of the moment", for lack of a better term.
From what I understand, he did premeditate the robbery and the murder was secondary. But a murder in the commission of a robbery is the same as premeditated murder. Premeditation was a part of the crime.
Just as in a bank robbery. It is treated as a robbery if no one is hurt, but if one or more persons are killed, even by one robber, they are all charged with murder or at least manslaughter, depending on the prosecutor's strength of his case, even though only one pulled the trigger. Premeditation was involved in planning the robbery.
This my opinion and it is based only on the observation of other news stories.
