EMORY - If 16-year-old Erin Caffey wanted to be free of her family, she seems to have received her wish.
In the small hours of Saturday morning, her boyfriend, Charlie James Wilkinson, 19, and his friend, Charles Allen Waid, 20, allegedly found Erin's parents sleeping in their bed and shot her mother, 38-year-old Penny Caffey to death and maimed her father, Terry Caffey, 41, who had forbidden Erin to date Wilkinson the night before, according to a sheriff's office report of interviews with the two young men released Monday.

I'm convinced it's time for public hangings once again. On Saturday afternoons in downtown areas. And stocks for lesser crimes.
Another positive outcome of the father’s survival is that it will be much harder for the daughter’s defense attorney to go with the usual: “She acted out of rage because she was molested” garbage when her wounded and crippled father will be able to testify in open court that he did no such thing.
“What a bunch of amoral whackjobs. Not wanting to wait two years to date is worth killing for?”
And, obviously, her parents were right about the boy.
I think it’s a typo. I read elsewhere the bail is at $1.5 million for each of them.
I saw that. $1500 must be a typo.............
Yes, something doesn't sound right.
What/who is Starkweather?.............
Hangings? I think this is a job for a wood chipper
The award-winning movie badlands was made about it and Natural Born Killers boorows heavily from that earlier movie.
Don’t send your kids to public school, don’t let your kids date and have boyfriends/ girlfriends, and you’ll live longer.
“How stupid do you have to be to think you can get away with this.”
That’s what I was screaming at the screen. Did they think they weren’t going to be suspects? Did they think they were going to run away and live on the lamb forever?
I was on a Grand Jury once and we indicted a lot of stupid people.
I'd disown her at the very least.
Charles Raymond Starkweather (November 24, 1938 June 25, 1959) was a spree killer who murdered 11 victims in Nebraska and Wyoming during a road trip with his underage girlfriend Caril Ann Fugate. He became a national fascination in the USA, eventually inspiring the films The Sadist, Badlands, Starkweather, Murder in the Heartland and Natural Born Killers. He also inspired the Bruce Springsteen song "Nebraska".
Me:
Badlands starred a young Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek. 1973 film, I believe.
She’s cute, but damn, she’s not *that* cute.
No, no death penalty. She can still be tried as an adult and get life without parole.
Public hanging is horrible, but I must agree with you here. Any others who are harboring any such plans need to see the end of such actions.
Famous case. Fifties, I think. Maybe early sixties. The movie Badlands, starring Sissy Spacek, Martin Sheen, and Warren Oates, is about the case.
She deserves the death penalty and I hope she gets it.
one way or another
