Lawrence King's Accused Murderer Brandon McInerney Says He's Innoncent

Or at least, not guilty. That's the plea Brandon McInernery (pictured above), now 15, entered yesterday in superior court, where he stands accused of (among other things) last February's shooting murder of then-classmate Lawrence King. He's being tried as an adult, though his defense counsel is trying to prohibit it.

McInerney’s lawyers, Scott Wippert and Robyn Bramson, filed a legal motion Thursday to dismiss the special circumstance of lying in wait that was tacked onto the felony criminal charges by prosecutors after a three-day preliminary hearing.

Attaching a lying in wait special circumstance to a murder charge in a juvenile case, by law, automatically transfers the case to adult court.

Wippert and Bramson allege that the district attorney is engaging in prosecutorial vindictiveness by filing the special circumstance. Wippert said it was done to prevent defense attorneys from challenging in court whether McInerney’s case belongs in adult court and whether the district attorney’s office abused its discretion by prosecuting him as an adult.

Murder is a big boy crime. That requires adult court with adult time in adult correctional facilities. He is going down for this and now his attorneys are running scared. Vengeful is what thier client already did.

Once again I see vile things wished on a vile person and it all comes down to vile.

Your anger is righteous….your venom is beneath us.

Let him suffer as fate will, but wish on him no more pain than he must endure, for his life is already ruined.

Evil done to Evil begets Evil.

Blessings to Lawrence King's Family.

I for one am sick of hate in all its forms, be it righteous or ignorant.

@Bill Perdue: Well, fancy that, you wish me to ask a dead demi-god/folk hero about the meaning of an rude comment made by you?

A couple of things to note:

1. I am pagan.
2. I am, ert, gay
3. I am trans
4. WTF is your problem?
5. If you are going to say something back it the fuck up.

Now that we are all on the same simple page…..would you kindly explain how I am in any way "superstition driven" or a "simpleton" is it so hard to imagine that someone could honestly be filled with hate and rage at an act yet not wish harm on a person?

We must shun the monstrous actions, lest we become monsters ourselves.

@Tara: While it’s true that I claim to be able to recognize superstitious nut cases – and it makes no difference to me whether you’re a christer, a pagan or think you just got off the mother ship – I lack the time, inclination or medical training to explain to you why you're a superstition driven simpleton.

And I don't want the psychiatrists union on my back demanding dues. Pay for your own damn therapy.

No you can curse the darkness or grab a doll and some needles or even prey for me, but I’m done.

I@Bill Perdue: You seem to presume much about me.

I cannot image why, you hate so much?

My world, the world I live for. Is one of love, regardless of people, regardless of their hate.

Only hope will heal the world, not your disdain.

I certainly don't want to pay for him to live his life out in our so called prison system where you get 3 square meals, free cable TV, Game Room, DVDs, Library and computer access. That is not prison to me. Inmates are bragging on Facebook that prison is like a vacation. The fact they are even on Facebook is beyond me. Whatever happened to execution? We are always trying to make people comfortable in prison or rehabilitate them in a mental institution. Never mind they took a life.

@Duncan Behines:

Executions often cost a lot more than life in prison, and even with all of those wonderful perks, would you really want to go to prison? because I don't.

The sad thing is that we have no problems spending more to send someone to prison than sending someone to college, or trade school, etc.

Tara: you're welcome to your viewpoint, but the passivity you espouse is far to prevalent in the gay community, and it's a large part of the reason we're in the position we are. We're hoodwinked into thinking we need to think your way.

We need to learn how to take a punch and then hand it back. We need to give as good as we get, and then some. Neither societies or Nature reward those who roll over and play dead.

Sorry, Tara, yours is loser talk.

@ schlukitz,

Methinks it's a case of "I wasn't there. If I was there, I didn't do it. If I did do it, I was provoked. If I wasn't provoked, I was insane".

Pleading not guilty is hardly a claim of innocence. It's a process. A process that separates us from places that practice summary execution.

Anyway, no one reading the news reports knows enough about the kid to say much other than the system will determine what happens to him. What's sad and unfortunate is the homophobic environment that causes a kid to do what he did.

You people seem to forget the US Legal system and the role that defense lawyers play. They are hired/appointed by the courts if you can't afford one to get their client off from whatever their accused of. And even if they are found guilty or plead guilty, their job is to get the lowest punishment for that crime. And since he's a minor, that means juvie. Then the record is sealed when he turns 18 and hes able to have a new life with no repercussions. Unlike going to adult court. Where a felony will be with him forever.

You fags are nothing but soldiers of the Jews…some day you will pay for what you have been doing to Mankind. Jews, fags and commies are the real enemies of Man.
