(Mixed-race Mexican-white) Former Alabama Death Row inmate cuts deal, free after 15 years in prison
  A former Death Row inmate Alabama who won a new trial three years ago is free after cutting a deal with prosecutors, becoming the second condemned prisoner in the state ordered freed this month. William Ziegler, 39, had been awaiting execution since his conviction in 2001 for the slaying of Russell Allen Baker near the defendant's home at the time in Mobile County. His regular appeals exhausted, he won a rarely successful post-appeal challenge made directly to the trial judge. On Thursday, Ziegler accepted a plea bargain that allowed him to walk free. He pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting murder, and Mobile County Circuit Judge Sarah Stewart sentenced him to the 15 years and 50 days he has been incarcerated. O'Della Wilson, the defendant's mother, said she is happy that will go free but angry that he had to pleaded guilty to any crime. Meanwhile, Baker's family made clear it does not accept the outcome. "He's a menace to our society. He will be back," said Beth Johansen, the victim's aunt. "This is not justice for our nephew." |

- Former Alabama Death Row Inmate Walks Free
- William Ziegler convicted of capital murder for 2001 killing of Russell Baker
- Murder victim's family speaks out against alleged killer's retrial
William Ziegler, 39, was convicted in 2001 of brutally stabbing and nearly decapitating 19-year-old Russell Allen Baker, Jr. and was sentenced to death. The family is also disturbed by the thought that Ziegler has a slight chance to be granted bond. "This boy (Ziegler) stabbed my nephew 103 countable times, and then tried to decapitate him," said Baker's aunt, Mary Johansen. "Does he need a bond? No he sure don't."
- Prosecutors argued that Ziegler was the ringleader of a foursome that took part in the killing.
When asked why she felt pressure to testify, she said she was upset that her 12-year-old daughter was pregnant, and Baker was the father. She said she feared her daughter would be taken away by authorities. James Gordon Bennett III also pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Patricia Renee Davis pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was handed a 10-year sentence, although a judge ordered she serve only three years. According to testimony, the four defendants, Baker, and two girls, ages 16 and 14, attended a party at Ziegler's Peach Place Inn apartment in west Mobile on the night of Feb. 19, 2000. Witnesses testified that Ziegler, Randall, Davis and Bennett swarmed in on Baker, terrorizing and torturing the victim over the next few hours. Davis testified she hit Baker in the head several times with a golf club.

Prosecutors sought the death penalty because of the heinous crime. John Ziegler said his nephew, known as "Willie John," was raised by another aunt and uncle. The abusive uncle, Jerry "Bink" Wilson, would hit the boy with a 2-by-4 board, a five-foot rope with knots in it, curse him and calling him racially derogatory names, according to testimony. Clinical psychologist James Chudy said William Ziegler's absent father was Mexican, but Ziegler exhibited a lot of "shame-based anger" because people had used a racial slur for blacks against him. Awaiting trial in the slaying are James Gordon Bennett III, 19; Ziegler's cousin, William Alexander Randall II, 18; and Ziegler's girlfriend, Patricia Renee Davis, 24, all of Mobile County.

EVERETT, Wash. — The man who killed a 15-year-old girl while she walked down the street with her friends learned his fate Tuesday. Erick Walker was sentenced to 90.75 years in the death of Molly Conley. Prosecutors say Walker, of Marysville, went on a three-hour shooting spree, indiscriminately firing from his car and hitting homes in Lake Stevens and Marysville. He was convicted of manslaughter in the shooting death of the Bishop Blanchet freshman as she walked along a road in Lake Stevens with friends on June 1, 2013. He was also convicted of four counts of assault and five counts of drive-by shooting. Walker, 28, had been charged with one count of first-degree murder. The jury was given the option to find him guilty of the far lesser charge of manslaughter. In a packed courtoom, Molly Conley's father, John Conley, stood before the judge. "This whole thing has broken me. It has broken my family. This courtroom is brutal place. The fact that I’m standing with my back to a person with a blank stare, with the person who slaughtered my daughter, is really brutal," said John Conley. John Conley said he is haunted that he was home while his "youngest daughter was being slaughtered." Molly Conley's mother, Susan Arksey, said her daughter took her life very seriously and studied hard. "Mr. Walker, this court considers you a terrorist," the judge said. "It is the intention of this court that you spend the rest of your life in prison." - (Black-on-white)

MEMPHIS, TN - Clarence Pruitt is on the books as a violent sex offender, but he has been on the run for over two years. Pruitt was first arrested in 1991 for aggravated attempted rape, but was only in jail for four days. Following that arrest, his status as a violent sex offender meant he must report his address within 48 hours of release, but he didn't. In 2009, Pruitt was arrested again, charged with stealing items from an Ike's store and assaulting workers as he tried to flee. After several drug arrests, Pruitt's latest affidavit says he 'befriended' a 20-year-old woman who was walking on Madison Avenue between 2 and 4 a.m. in August 2011. The victim says she withdrew $20 from an ATM to give to him, but he demanded more money. When she refused, he began to attack her. Pruitt stole the woman's credit and debit cars, ID, cell phone, and left her naked. Investigators identified Pruitt as the suspect responsible in this case from DNA he left on the victim's shirt. The TBI was able to find his information in their system.

WASHINGTON - “I was walking on the right side of the elevator when someone hit me, punched me on the right side of my jaw,” a 23-year-old victim of a brutal attack said. The attack came out of nowhere and left the victim with his jaw broken in two places and four teeth nearly knocked out. He has dozens of stitches, two metal plates in his mouth and his mouth is now wired shut, which is why it is difficult to understand when he speaks. After the first punch, he was thrown to the ground and the group of (black) young men were hitting and kicking him repeatedly. “I did hear someone yell, ‘Get that effing fa****,' while I was on the ground,” the victim said.
