According to the Dallas Morning News, Karland Bennett, 25, and another man, Robert Dale Knox, 22, are suspected in the abduction, robbery and shooting of 27-year-old Louis Adam Barajas.

Looks like BYU was not happy about being ranked below Baylor in the NCAA Murder Rankings.

what ever happened to that rape story?.....sort of just disappeared didn’t it.. I’m sure there were plenty who blamed the victim or her parents...etc.....well now maybe some people will acknowledge that these guys were probably guilty of that rape as well and by letting the “boys be boys” s murder has occurred.

(And family members & relatives, too!)

That's the point, though...we'd like to keep them around us forever.

when I read these kinds of stories here on FR there will always be a number of posters attacking the victim...like in the Kobe case for instance......but I think being raped is bad enough, but going thru the hostile obscene victim bashing afterwards must be worse.....no wonder this girl didn’t want to go thru another trial....
