As I read about the case of Brian Steven Smith, who received 226 years in prison for the deaths of two Alaska Native women, Kathleen Henry and Veronica Abouchuk, my heart breaks and my blood boils. The sheer brutality and evil that one human being can inflict upon another is truly unfathomable. What makes this case even more chilling is that Smith filmed the torture of one of his victims, as if he wanted to showcase his heinous acts to an audience. This level of depravity and lack of empathy is beyond comprehension.
The fact that Smith only got caught because a sex worker stole his phone and found videos of the murders is mind-boggling.… Continue reading

As I read about Missouri executing Brian Dorsey for the 2006 double murder, I couldn’t help but reflect deeply on the shocking nature of his crimes and the conflicting opinions surrounding his case. The details of the murders he committed are gut-wrenching. His cousin and her husband showed him kindness and sheltered him in their home, only to have their lives brutally taken while they slept. The heinous act of not only killing them but also raping his cousin’s dead body and pouring bleach in her vagina is beyond comprehension.
The fact that 72 correctional officers supported Dorsey’s plea for mercy sparked a debate within me.… Continue reading

The sheer brutality and callousness of the act leave me feeling a mix of anger, sorrow, and disbelief. How could a mother, the very person tasked with nurturing and protecting her child, commit such a heinous crime?

Brianna Ghey’s killers have been handed life sentences for their brutal murder, and it’s about time that justice was served. The minimum sentence they received, 20 and 22 years respectively, ensures that they won’t be released before serving their time. Only then can they apply for parole, subject to convincing the parole board that they are no longer a danger. The strict criteria and the possibility of breaching their license and returning to prison should act as a deterrent.
The judge’s comments regarding the behavior of the girl who led the murder and her potential life in prison show the severity of this crime.… Continue reading

Isn’t there some kind of folklore about bodies at crossroads, that they can’t find heaven or something? It reminds me of the plot of “No Country for Old Men,” a dark and gripping tale that haunts the mind.
Growing up in the Mojave desert, I was always aware of the dangers that lurked in the vast expanse of land. My father would caution me about the mineshafts that dotted the landscape, warning me about the treacherous fate that awaited anyone who fell in.… Continue reading
