Did “bored” teen James Edwards learn about crime from his mother? Edwards is the 15-year-old apparent gang member accused of shooting Australian baseball player Chris Lane in the back last Friday. He appeared in court Tuesday and reportedly made a mockery of the proceedings.
A search on Mugshots.com turns up one Brenda M. Edwards, 50, of Stephens County, Oklahoma. I called the Stephens County district attorney’s office today and confirmed that Brenda M. Edwards is James Edwards’ mother.
Edwards is currently incarcerated in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections . Her extensive rap sheet begins in 1994 with a conviction for larceny, and spans her son’s entire life. Click on the image to enlarge.
She has three known aliases. As things stand now, her relationship with Oklahoma’s criminal justice system won’t end for several decades. Her multiple convictions include distribution of cocaine. She was in court in Duncan, OK, as recently as May 2010, when she was found to have violated her parole by obtaining prescription drugs by fraud. Her probation was revoked.
If we’re going to blame a “culture” for James Edwards’ alleged part in Chris Lane’s murder, as some want to blame the so-called “gun culture,” shouldn’t the culture of recidivist criminality come under scrutiny?
Edwards is a stone cold killer, in that piece the sheriff said he thinks it’s all a joke.
There’s little doubt he’ll kill again whether in prison or out.
uhhh...if the Luna kid is white because of the mom’s color, than Obama is white.
She looks like one happy crack ho to me. If she had operating brain cells, she’d likely be concerned about the atrocity her devilspawn committed, but she probably doesn’t have a friggin’ clue.
“uhhh...if the Luna kid is white because of the mom’s color, than Obama is white.”
Media labels people’s color according to the situation and the spin they are trying to get out not according to the facts.
Oh, surely you jest... I doubt that creature has any remote idea who the "father" is.
He had that prediction dead-on.
I heard they did it because they were “BORED”!
You want to have a good laugh?
Guess what my Mom or Dad would have said if at the age 0f 8 years or older, I would have said “I’m Bored with nothing to do”
Any Freeper, could give that reply!
How else would you propose humans procreate?
He sobered up and ran like a deer.
Oh yes, my parents would have found something for me to do.
I was very seldom bored when I was a kid. Too many odd jobs to do.
I’m guessing that the multiple entries of Obtaining Controlled Substance by Fraud were all counts in the same charging information that resulted from an investigation of her that spanned a few months. Prescription fraud investigative units will identify a suspect, and pull their “patient profiles” from all the major pharmacies, and use that to build a case. Sometimes they will also go the to the doctors and find out they were lying about not seeing other doctors, etc...
Usually the doctors and pharmcies will cooperate with the authorities.
Not too uncommon to use the multiple prescriptions in a short time frame to show that all of them were fraudulent. They charge seven counts, then the defendant cops a plea to two or three, does a little time, and the case is closed.
A little more carefully.
Female or not (and yes, I know it’s a stretch) there is still a place in the American system of jurisprudence for the horsewhip.
And the stocks. Don’t forget the stocks.
Agreed.
But it still involves the mixing of genes no matter how carefully it is undertaken.
Maybe “blending” would have been more descriptive than mixing.
It usually only takes one time to learn that lesson.
I also at age 77.7 have no rap sheet.
I saw an apprentice at work one day complain the journeyman did not give him enough work. What followed, the journeyman had apprentice dig a hole from 8AM to 12noon lunch, then at 1PM fill the hole.
Apprentice never again said “I’ve nothing to do”.
If Obama had a sister......
Agree whole heartedly on the stocks. If we had public humiliation still in the system we may not be where we are now. Use the horsewhip for a second offense.
I SWEAR I posted mine BEFORE I saw yours!! I SWEAR!
