I have no doubt this is another Obama family values shooting - complete with lying about "change".
What was an ex con doing with a gun? I mean they passed laws saying convicted felons are not allowed to own a firearm.(sarcasm)
Psychopaths can be quite persuasive, but this guy would have flunked the smell test for anyone whose judgment wasn't blighted with political correctness.
From an article in the Cleveland paper:
“Crawford’s 50-page motion for early release, filed in 2005, displayed flourishes of creativity and flair in a failed attempt to dazzle Russo.
He wrote that he had “used this period of incarceration as a time of inner-reflection, self-analysis and self-development.”
Davon Crawford’s violent life stretches back to his teens
Davon Crawford has been in trouble with the law since he was a teen. Below are some of his interactions with police, the courts and the prison system:
• Feb. 18, 1993: At age 16, Crawford is caught by Cleveland police joyriding in a stolen car.
• March 20, 1993: Now 17, he carjacks a woman’s 1986 Chevrolet Cavalier while wielding a black .45-caliber-style BB gun in Warrensville Heights. The same day he is charged with assaulting two Shaker Heights police officers with a car after trying to run them over.
• Aug. 12, 1993: He is sent to the Ohio Department of Youth Services. He is denied early release twice.
• May 24, 1994: Crawford, at age 18, is released from the juvenile prison.
• Nov. 24, 1994: He is arrested with a relative in a stolen car. Charges are later dropped.
• March 22, 1995: Crawford, 19, is arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of Joseph Smith. He and Smith, 22, were arguing over a girlfriend. A plea deal dropped the firearm charges and Crawford pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter. He was sentenced to between five and 25 years in prison.
• April 3, 2000: At age 24, he is released from prison on parole.
• March 2, 2002: Crawford is arrested for shooting at his then-wife because she doesn’t want to go out for his 26th birthday. She was holding their child at the time. He is sentenced to five years in prison.
• Feb. 21, 2007: Crawford, age 30, is released from prison and placed on parole for at least a year.
• Thursday: Just days after getting married and celebrating his 33rd birthday, Crawford shoots and kills his new wife, Lechea Crawford, his sister-in-law, Rose Stevens, and her three children — 2-year-old twins Deon and Davion Primm and Destanee Woods, 5.
• Friday: Police find Crawford near West 128th Street and Linnet Avenue after a 20-hour manhunt. He shoots and kills himself.
Crawford said he had “received an insurmountable amount of love and support from his family and friends who would assist him in making his re-entry into society a successful one.” And he pleaded for a “second chance at living a law-abiding life.”
By all accounts, Crawford did take advantage of his years behind bars. He joined the NAACP, and completed classes on stress and anger management, family skills, domestic violence, child abuse and rage-control. He also tutored fellow inmates and won the Sportsmanship Award and championship trophy in the prison basketball league, according to 29 certificates filed with the motion.
“[I’m] becoming somewhat of a role model in the eyes of young fathers throughout the institution,” Crawford claimed in his letter to the judge.
It's appropriate because our legal system has become a joke.
One can either laugh or become depressed - and I'm sick and tired of being depressed by the insanity that has washed over this once great nation.
The POS killed little kids, and you connect it to current politics you have no heart! Take it up with the system that let him out and that was in place for some time now.
But, but, but, but ... “He was a good boy!”, said his momma.
I am tired of seeing our money thrown down a rathole in an attempt to fix these broken monsters who know how to play the system and the libs. The money would be better spent on building more prisons to house the predators for the full lenght of their sentence.
