Lincoln Woman Accused of Killing Two Men with Car to Face Trial Next Month

Date: April 11, 2024

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Taylor Bradley, a 28-year-old woman from Lincoln, Nebraska, will stand trial next month for the alleged homicide of two men. The case, which has drawn attention to the issue of women who kill, is set to begin on May 17 as a bench trial, with Lancaster County District Judge Ryan Post presiding.

Bradley was arrested on March 27, 2023, after the Lincoln Police Department reported that she had run over two maintenance workers at an apartment complex near 40th Street and Nebraska Parkway. The victims, identified as Ronald Gonzales-Ribas and Christopher Karmazin, were pronounced dead at the scene. Police Chief Teresa Ewins stated that Bradley had "purposely" run over the men and had also attempted to run over a third man, Robert Sargent.

The case was temporarily put on hold in April 2023 when a judge found Bradley "not mentally competent" to stand trial. However, on September 1, Lancaster County Judge Thomas Zimmerman ruled that Bradley was mentally competent. In October, Bradley entered a plea of not guilty, with her defense planning to argue that she was not responsible for the deaths "by reason of insanity."

In February, the case was again paused when Judge Post ordered Bradley to undergo a psychological evaluation before her trial. The evaluation, requested by prosecutors, aimed to determine whether Bradley understood the nature of her actions.

As the trial approaches, the case has brought attention to the issue of female murderers and the factors that may contribute to women committing acts of homicide. While the specific details of Bradley's case have yet to be revealed in court, the trial is expected to provide insight into the circumstances surrounding the alleged crimes and the psychological state of the accused.

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.
