Mina Ellery - 17 YO Georgia Murderer

Thirteen days after being brutally beaten and set on fire, 83-year-old Dot Dow finally succumbed to her injuries. Injuries she sustained at the hands of 17-year-old Mina Ellery.
The crime occurred on Aug. 4, 2016. The victim was beaten brutally. Both her arms were broken. She was doused with lighter fluid and she set on fire. She died 13 days later.

Even though Ellery was sentenced to life in prison, she is eligible for parole after serving a minimum of 30 years behind bars.

She received a life sentence for the murder and 20-year sentences each for armed robbery, home invasion and aggravated battery. Angel Harmon, and two other people are also charged in Dow’s murder.

Harmon drove Justin Peirce Grady, 38, Cortavious Deshun Heard, 18, Mina Christine Ellery, 17, and Angel Latrice Harmon, 17, to Dow’s home in Lone Oak. Harmon and Ellery went to the door and talked with Dow while Cameron entered the house from another entrance and took Dow’s purse.

Ellery pleaded guilty to using Dow’s debit card and getting $1,500 from an ATM. Heard, is two years older than Ellery and her boyfriend. He reportedly owed Cameron money for drugs.

The Dow family operates a blueberry farm on their property. Heard briefly worked on the blueberry farm before being let go because of “deceitful practices,”. Kenneth Dow, another son of Dot Dow who lived with his mother, paid farm workers in cash and was known to keep large sums of money on hand.

On Aug. 4, 2016, Dot Dow was asleep at home while Kenneth was at a movie. She awoke to discover the four defendants in her home. She was repeatedly asked about Kenneth’s whereabouts and about the location of money but was unable to provide an answer. The elderly woman was cursed and beaten until both arms were broken. Lighter fluid was then poured down her back, and she was set on fire. Telephones were taken and Ellery pleaded guilty to removing Dow’s Life Alert device from her neck.

After her attackers left, Dow used water intended for her CPAP machine to put out the fire on her back. Despite her broken arms, she crawled across the floor, found a working phone and called 911.
Shortly after being arrested, Mina Ellery got in trouble for having a cell phone and posting selfies on social media.

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

The Most Beautiful Girls to Ever Kill Their Own Mother

As human beings, we have trouble fathoming the idea of a young girl committing so atrocious a crime as murder. Much less, the murder of her own mother. The concept becomes even more inconceivable when it pertains to a beautiful young woman beautiful young woman with a loving family and the world at her fingertips. These girls aren't all women in prison now. Some have been released and disappeared into the mainstream. Scary, huh? Nakisha Waddell At age 14, Nakisha Waddell stabbed her mother, Vaughne Thomas, 43 times in their Virginia home. In court, she said she was tired of the years of fighting and just exploded. Her 15-year-old friend, Annie Belcher, helped her dig a grave in the backyard. The pair poured alcohol and nail polish remover on the dead woman and tried to ignite her to no avail. They eventually mixed a crude concrete mixture and poured it on top of her and finished by covering her with sticks, leaves, and yard debris. She gives no reason or excuse o

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.
