Karina Vetrano was viciously beaten and strangled "until she could not struggle anymore" -- then, in a final indignity, the 30-year-old New Yorker's body was left naked in a weed-covered patch of land, where her executioner robbed her and fled.

Prosecutors on Tuesday revealed the gruesome details of the Queens jogger’s August 2016 assault and murder, as the trial of her accused killer, Chanel Lewis, got underway. Vetrano's mother, Cathie Vetrano, was in the courtroom as Queens Assistant District Attorney Brad Leventhal recounted the graphic details, and was seen sobbing and clutching a crucifix, according to the New York Daily News.

Leventhal said Vetrano tried to fight off Lewis.

“And he strangled her until she could not struggle anymore. He strangled her until she was dead,” Leventhal said.

Photos from the crime scene of Vetrano’s naked body were shown in court.

Leventhal said, after Lewis killed Vetrano, he carried her body into a weed-covered area, removed her sneakers and took her phone and earbuds. ..."

Vetrano was attacked as she jogged in Spring Creek Park, not far from her home in Queens’ Howard Beach.

“He looks like the poster boy for Fetal alcohol syndrome.”

He looks brain damaged or has very low IQ. An imbecile or cretin that wanted sex. In these kind of cases usually drugs are involved. But not in this case.

The jogger should have jogged with a knife or pepper spray.

Don’t give his lawyers any ideas for his defense.

> What is even better is RAID wasp spray. <

I thought so too, until I read an article like the one below. You can get in real trouble using wasp spray for self defense. Because you are using it in a manner not allowed by law. Sure, in most places it’s no big deal. But if the local district attorney wanted to jam you up, he could.

These are the animals that the DEMOCRATS PROTECT. These people are their base, and they do ALL THEY CAN to install judges who will, at most, minimize their jail time, kill off the Death Penalty, and much more.

So, we can (indirectly) vote for Democrats, by sitting home on our asses to ‘send a message’, I guess, to Republicans that they need to run more conservative candidates.

...but in the meantime, animals like this guy are being let loose, thanks in large part to our side not having ‘perfect’ candidates, and therefore not voting.

The guy that assassinated President McKinley was tried, convicted, and executed on the order of six weeks after McKinley died (~week after being shot).

Back in the day, there was a saying that in the Western Frontier horse thieves were hung not to punish horse thieves, but to deter potenyltail horse thieves from stealing horses.

We are facing increasingly serious problems with violent crimes and major factors driving this are the gansta culture and the fact that gangs use minor age children to commit many crimes because they are subject to the liberal juvenile legal system and get their records clean slated when they turn 18

These gang members grow up accustomed to commiting serious crimes that are glorified in their gang culture and have no serious punishment consequences because even rape and attempted murder get expunged from their records when they turn 18.

A few swift executions would act as a deterrent

When the Irish Republican Army was active, they'd have kids steal cars that the IRA would then use in their "activities".

Well, those "kids" grew up and went into the crime biz on their own...

Just a pic, her and him. Sad that he is still breathing the same air as me.

He looks ill.

Maybe "the boys" can help him out with "The Baby Harp Seal Cure"...
