Lisa Graham Killed her 20 YO Daughter Because She was an Embarrassing Pain in the Ass

Wrap your mind around this one, boys and girls. Stephanie Shae Graham was a real live party girl in 2007, Alabama. The 21 year old girl was the real deal with a police record to prove it. A stripper and prostitute with an alcohol dependency and several different drug addictions, she was hardly the apple of mommy's eye.

Her mother, Lisa Leanne Graham was constantly helping her out and always complaining to family members that she was troublesome. She was heard more than once saying she wished she would die or disappear. She had no tolerance for her daughters wicked ways which always, somehow ended up landing in her lap. Stephanie was mixed up in some legal issues surrounding a drive-by and it was around that time Lisa began to suspect her daughter was sleeping with her husband. She was also hearing things that made her think Stephanie was planning on leaving town and leaving her with bond of thousands of dollars to pay the bail bondsman.

Lisa devised a plan and garnered the help of a family friend to shoot and kill her own 21 year old daughter because she was tired of dealing with her bullshit. To look at Lisa, you would have never guessed that she was capable or had so much malice and hate in her heart that she could devise the death of her own daughter. She was a regular woman who balanced her families finances, dove into genealogy as a hobby and was computer literate. Even so, she hired family friend, Kenneth Walton, who had worked for the family for many years.

Walton found Stephanie, or Shae as she preferred, at a gas station talking with friends. He had met earlier with her mom who gave him her own gun to do the deed with. He told Shae he knew where a car was she could use to get out of town in so she wouldn't have to face charges in the drive-by shooting. So She jumped in the truck with Walton and the two took off. They drove for miles and miles while Walton worked up his nerve.

Eventually some hundred and something miles away from where they started, Walton pulls over into a field so they could pee. When Stephanie got out and squatted beside the truck he shot her in the head through the open truck door and then walked around the truck shooting her over and over. Six times all together. He left her bullet ridden body face down with her pants around her ankles right where she fell. He said in court that it didnt really affect him despite knowing her all her life.

Since he was the last person seen with her it wasnt hard to figure out what happened and he confessed right away. It took forever to sentence Lisa however due to a bunch of random shit that happened. First the courthouse was undergoing renovations was just unfit to hold a murder trial, dang it.  Next the judge declared a mistrial and then died. Prosecution attempted a new trial but the defense said to give her a mental examination which returned proving Lisa had an IQ of 77, which is borderline impaired.

Eventually, finally, this year she was sentenced to death. She is one of five females on Alabama death row.

    So she got death but the professor who opened fire at a faculty meeting didn't. Alabama has a seriously warped legal system. She should have just told Shae, "You're on your own. Don't call or bother me ever again."

      yes, amy bishop should have gotten the death penalty. why she didn't is a mystery to me. i had a family member that i helped all the time, like lisa graham, but instead of killing her i told her, like you said, that she was on her own, i wasn't going to bail her out anymore, she's a big girl who needs to stand on her own for a change. that was five years ago and it was one of the best decisions, i think, that i ever made.

      Amy Bishop pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty. Her surviving victims and the families of the victims who died did not want her to receive the death penalty so the district attorney of Madison County allowed her to plead out. Under Alabama law a person who pleads guilty to a capital offense must still receive a trial. Bishop's trial was very abbreviated as her guilt was not really in question. She was sentenced to Life Without the Possibility of Parole for the three people she murdered and three consecutive life sentences for the three people who survived the shootings.

    A Supreme Court reversal of the recent 5-4 decision on the death penalty in less than 15 years is therefore another possible, but not certain, scenario for the elimination of the death penalty. death penalty essay intro

Darlie Routier Texas

I was contacted by a penpal of Darlie Routier's who gave me some of the most recent advances in her case to share with you all. I began writing to Darlie in December of 2005 and she is one woman whom I will never understand how she got behind bars. Really. You know what else? With all the information ALREADY out there about this case, in addition to the newly discovered info, I think if you can't see this poor woman's innocence, you may just be an asshole. So many legal flubs, so much question and police innuendo that turned out to be nothing. So many fingers pointed and road blocks thrown up, I am surprised this case isn't used in other countries to point to the clusterfuck we call a justice system.  I believe Darlie could have been released ages ago if the state had done the necessary DNA testing. Sadly, Texas has tried to stop it in every unconstitutional way they could pull out of a bull's ass. BUT- there is hope on the horizon. This from Camp Darlie ...

Heather Birden Connecticut

Holly Aeschlimann Holly Aeschlimann, 19 was murdered in Connecticut in April of 2015. This case is amazingly close to that of Rachel Wade. Holly and her killer, Heather Birden, 20, had a longstanding dislike for each other. Heather had stabbed another girl, a juvenile, once before in 2014. She was  held in Niantic Correctional Facility for next three months before the murder as a result of a violation of her probation, and was then released to an in-patient substance abuse rehabilitation facility. Reports state that Birden asked her boyfriend for his knife and then left his house to find Holly stating "I have to end this tonight." Witnesses say Heather arrived and the two began to fight, ending in Holly being stabbed in the head and neck at a crosswalk outside an apartment complex in Torrington, CT.  Her friends rushed her to the hospital where she died.  Heather was hiding under a vehicle a short distance away and feigned confusion when police found her. She spen...

Brenda Andrew Execution date

     Brenda Andrew is the only woman on Oklahoma death row. She is there for the murder of her husband by her and her boyfriend James Pavatt.      Brenda does not answer letters. It seems she may still have a bit of that pretentious attitude left over from her days as a respected deacons wife. Those days are over, hun.      There is no scheduled execution date for Brenda yet. Oklahoma lists its dates of execution for the prison she is in here .      Every time I read about this case I am utterly amazed at how stupid these two people were. She may as well have advertised their guilt on a billboard in front of the house. Both Andrew's and Pavatt's appeal were systematically denied without comment in 2008. The little Scorned episode "The Sunday School Killers" at the top of this post is about Brenda and James and its only $1.99 so its worth the money. Appearance White Female; 5 ft. 3 in. tall; 110 pounds; Bro...
