"My stomach was in knots," he told police. "I felt like she was innocent. ... All the rest were dope dealers."

Can things get any worse in Detroit, with a monster like this confessing to multiple killings for money?

God, what a swamp.

The people may get killed, but their Democrat vote lives on forever.

just like in the old Hawaii Five-O reruns, whenever some hood is looking to hire a hitman they just pick up the phone and call Detroit....

Not just in Hawaii 5-0. Any mafia movie you watch, the hit men always come from Detroit. Somebody must know something. Sometimes they are vague about it, and they say: We’re bringing in some guys from the east, but you know they mean Detroit!

Anyone else believe this AP writer tries to make this sub-human look like a victim?

Agreed. The book deal and movie rights now competes against the law. And there are always hangers on with both ambulances and infamy.

In the Maltese Falcon (1941) the hitman (Wilmer played by Elisha Cook Jr) was from Detroit.

You want to read about a real bad killer, check our Roy DeMeo, a mafia killer suspected of over 200 deaths...many of them quite gruesome.

I think his crew rivaled Murder, inc.’s murders.

This is news? 30 years ago the Currey brothers ran all the dope trade on the East side of Detroit and their goon squad would toss the heads in Rouge Park on the West side. Just ask Chester Campbell.
