Julianne McCrery Pleads Guilty To Second Degree Murder

New Hampshire must be an amazing state if you are an overwhelmed parent who wants to kill your child. Julianne McCrery, the mother of Camden Pierce Hughes, who was killed at age six because his mother was completely nuts and allowed to roam free, just pleaded guilty to second degree murder on September 27. She apparently murdered little Camden in a hotel room, in New Hampshire, by suffocating him, then drove him to Maine, where she dumped him. The thing is; she lived in Texas. She had to drive all the way from Texas to pull off this murder, which was smart of her, because in Texas, she'd be on death row by now. This, in my world, amounts to premeditation. Premeditation amounts to first degree murder, not second degree murder. But New Hampshire has a general attitude of sympathy toward "overwhelmed" horribly loony people who kill children, see the case of Celina Cass, and didn't really care about a six year old that much. So now, New Hampshire will be housing this woman and paying for her psychiatric care for fortyfive years or so, depending on her sentence, and she'll probably never think about Camden again.

Here she is, the woman who carefully chose a state that is easy on crime when she decided it must be time to kill her son. Perhaps the good people of New Hampshire will take a good hard look at this and decide to start pressuring their legislators to stop enabling people who abuse and murder children. If I called New Hampshire home, I would be truly offended by a woman who had gone to the trouble to choose my state, and then travel there, over a thousand miles, to murder a child and get away with it. Nothing can bring Camden back, but I would not want my tax dollars supporting this woman indefinately.

Another Really Sorry Story

This is Jewell Hendricks. A Utah court has just accepted her guilty plea to the murder of one of her two infant sons. According to the story offered by her husband, which, by the way, does not match up, detail for detail, from beginning to end, she suffocated one of the twins out of frustration, because she thought having one baby would be easier. Easier. But then, he explains, it was an accident. Which is it, husband? Deliberate suffocation and accidents are two different types of event.

Her attorney also goes on to tell the public that she has a diminished mental capacity, and that she has "she has the mentality of a twelve to sixteen year old". Ahem..........when I was twelve, I knew better than to kill babies. Also, while sixteen is not a great age to have children, many teenage moms bring up children without committing murder. But this does bring up an interesting question about her baby-daddy: what the hell does a guy see in a girl with a diminished mental capacity? Is she just easier to use? Why the f*&# would a man have children with someone who's thoughts and actions were like a twelve year old's? This whole situation, in my opinion, really says as much about the "dad" as it does about the mom.

One more thing........if Mr. Defense Attorney knew she had a diminished mental capacity, why didn't he take this to trial and argue this? Now this woman is going to prison with a diminished mental capacity. I am also wondering who hired him......was it the baby daddy? And if the mom, or someone who truly had her best interests at heart hired the attorney, instead, would this have ended in a guilty plea? Would more investigation, possibly of the baby-daddy been done? Is this attorney covering for him? I really hope this girl copped that plea because she is really guilty. If she's not, prison is definately not the place for her.

Hey Terri, Does This Make You Nervous?

LORAIN COUNTY, Ohio - On Thursday authorities arrested a Amherst Twp. man in connection with murder that occurred more than 35-years ago.

Bobbie New, 69, of Ohio was just charged with a murder that happened in 1976, Terri. See his grey hair? All these years, he thought he had gotton away with it. The case went cold, but it didn't go away.

Here you go, just in case you don't believe me.

One More Question About The Adam Herrman Case

Okay, so Doug and Valerie Herrman, of Butler County, Kansas, will be in court on June 21 for fraud and theft, because they adopted Adam Herrman, and after he went missing in 1999, continued to collect monies to which he, and he only, was entitled. But riddle me this: why have they not been taken to court for child endangerment, or some other crime against children, relating to their failure to report Adam missing and his current status as "missing"? Is this type of treament of children legal in Kansas?

There are enough eyewitness accounts and affidavits containing incriminating information about Doug and Valerie Herrman to charge them with assualt, false imprisonment, and child abuse. If everyone who has made statements to the police would also testify in court, Mr. and Mrs. Do-Goody Herrman, who adopted and abused the children of others could already be in jail. Perhaps there, they would tell Adam Herrman's natural family, and the rest of us, where he is. And if it was warrented, maybe we could charge them with murder.

Or is my assumption that crimes against children are unlawful in Kansas incorrect? I mean, after all, Doug and Valerie Herrman seem to have gotton away with it.

Second Degree Murder, Children, and New Hampshire

When did traveling across state lines with one's child and the intention to kill one's child coupled with the act of actually doing the same become second degree murder, instead of first degree murder? Now that I have become somewhat accustomed to the shock of hearing about poor Camden Pierce Hughes every time I listen to national news, I find myself wanting an answer to that question. Here's an article describing the charges.

This mother, Julianne McCreary, left Texas, where killing a child can and will elicit the death penalty, and drove until she found a state with gentle police officers and a judicial system that is easy on crime. I fully believe that she very deliberately took her victim away from home in order to avoid the Texas courts, I fully believe that she was planning murder the entire time, and I also fully believe that New Hampshire could convict her on first degree murder if they tried.

Julianne McCreary keeps saying she wants to die, and be "in heaven" with her son. I must raise the bs flag on that............if she wanted to "die and be in heaven", we would have found her lying beside her son. She does not want to die. "Heaven" is probably an imaginary land where grownups do not have responsibility, as far as she's concerned, and that is where she really wants to go. I guess she's there........we call it jail. As for her phony tears, I do not feel the slightest bit sorry for  her. While there is no doubt in my mind that this woman is mentally ill, I really think that she knew exactly what she was doing when she killed her son, and I think she premeditated it............so why second degree murder? Why not first degree murder? New Hampshire.........any comments?
