一對夫婦策劃了一起謀殺案,對象是一個犯有性侵幼童罪的男人和他的妻子。謀殺者認為自己是在為社會伸張正義。
策劃人假裝車出了問題需要幫助,敲開了被謀殺者的家門,然後實施了計劃好了的謀殺。(千萬不要給陌生的人隨便開門)
被害者家中的監控錄像記錄了整個犯罪過程。而使警方輕而一舉破案的證據,是男殺人犯頭上的刺繪: In addition to the words "white power" atop his bald head, he also has the word "skinhead" tattooed almost ear to ear beneath his chin.(身體刺繡從來就不是好事,起碼整頂帽子遮擋一下)
為減輕判刑,夫婦倆在法庭上表示悔過,甚至以上帝的名義懺悔。可惜沒有打動法官,法官說:你們騙不了我,我看到你倆在庭上會心地笑。(在法庭上千萬不要忘乎所以)
最後他們被判處無期徒刑。宣判一出,倆人立刻一改以往的懺悔,說性侵幼童者人盡可誅,有機會他們還要重新做同樣的事,他倆偉大的愛情可以超越無期徒刑,等等。(嘴可以硬,為自己認為的正義去接受無期徒行,牢獄之災,多少有點令人欽佩。值得嗎?仁者見仁. )
英文全文報道如下:
(CNN) -- In court, the South Carolina neo-Nazi couple seemed remorseful for the 2013 murder of a sex offender, but they changed their tunes when their life sentences were handed down.
"Child molesters do not deserve to live," Jeremy Moody said as he was led out of a Union County courthouse Tuesday wearing handcuffs and striped prison scrubs. "Had to do it over again, I'd kill more."
As his wife, Christine Moody, was placed into a police car for transport to prison, she added, "I have no regrets. Killing that pedophile was the best day of my life."
The couple was charged in the murders of Charles Parker, 59, and his wife, Gretchen, 51, in July. The Moodys went to their Jonesville home pretending to have car trouble, entered the home and killed the couple, Union County Chief Deputy Perry Haney said at the time.
Jeremy Moody, 31, told police he killed the Parkers because Charles Parker was on the South Carolina sex offender registry, Haney said. He was convicted in 1991 of sexual assault on a child and again in 2003 of third-degree criminal sexual misconduct involving a 31-year-old woman, CNN affiliate WHNS reported, citing police and court records.
Charles Parker reportedly was convicted in 1991 of sexual assault on a child and again in 2003 of third-degree criminal sexual misconduct involving a 31-year-old woman.
Gretchen Parker was not a registered sex offender, Haney told CNN.
The Parkers were found dead July 22. They'd been stabbed and shot with a .380 handgun, Haney said. Police used images from the Parkers' home surveillance system to track down their killers, he said.
Integral to identifying Jeremy Moody, police said, were his tattoos: In addition to the words "white power" atop his bald head, he also has the word "skinhead" tattooed almost ear to ear beneath his chin.
In bond court, Christine Moody, 37, called Charles Parker a "demon," and she and her husband claimed to be part of a white supremacist group called Crew 41, WHNS reported.
The pair pleaded guilty Tuesday to two counts of murder, two counts of kidnapping, two counts of possession of a firearm during a violent crime and first-degree burglary, the station said.
Prior to their sentencing, both Moodys expressed remorse for their crimes, as Jeremy Moody told the court, "Not a day goes by that I don't regret the incident that happened, and I know that what I've done is a sin."
Christine Moody also feigned contrition, reading from the Bible and saying, "I truly believe God has forgiven Jeremy and I. I hope you do, too."
They told the court they suffered from mental problems and had a history of sexual abuse in their families. The Moodys' defense attorney asked for 30-year sentences, WHNS reported.
But Circuit Judge Lee Alford wasn't buying it.
"I saw you smiling at each other in court," he told them, handing down life sentences.
And with that, so went the Moodys' remorse.
"See you perverts later," Jeremy Moody said as he was escorted out of the courtroom. "That's what child molesters get."
Outside the courthouse, Christine Moody told reporters that she and Jeremy have "a love that will withstand" their life sentences, and if given the opportunity, they'd kill Parker again.
Reporters challenged her about her apparent change of heart: Was she lying when she told the court she had repented?
"No, it's not true. My lawyer made me say it," she said.
And did she have anything to say to Parkers' families?
"May they die also," she said before officers placed her in the back of a squad car.
Family members told WHNS they were pleased with the Moodys' sentences and unsurprised by their vitriol. That doesn't mean Charles Parker's sister was happy about being taunted.
"It made me mad. They was laughing about what they did, took somebody's life the way they did it," Brenda Franklin told the station. "Nobody should die like that. Nobody."
