Buying Witnesses
June 13th, 2008Buying Witnesses
Would You Expect Anything Else From Florida?
Just hours ago, prosecutors in the Victoria Lindsay beating case announced they are dropping charges against Cara Murphy, 16, Stephen Schumaker, 18, and Zachary Ashley, 17 - who had faced kidnapping and battery charges in the case.
The State Attorney’s office noted the same explanation for each of them, “Further investigation has shown that there is insufficient evidence to proceed with charges against the defendant.”
Can anyone say “state’s witnesses”?
Obviously, the state is gearing up for the criminal trials of the remaining defendants by securing testimony from these jackasses.
Tori has a lot of friends out there now though. I wouldn’t advise these three to stray far from the safety of their own homes.
Just sayin’…

No Love For Mercades
Following up on the June 1st post here regarding Mercades Nichols’ desire to be let out of her cage…
This morning, Circuit Judge Keith Spoto denied her request to be able to speak to the media regarding charges against her of beating a 17-year-old former Mulberry High School cheerleader (Blog About Nothing’s favorite high school cheerleader that is!).
Judge Spoto did lift some house arrest restrictions Nichols was under, allowing her to attend church and find a job. I’m sure Mercades has been craving both church and work.
Her lawyer, James Holz, said his client wanted to defend herself against the criminal allegations she faces. Holz accused Polk Sheriff Grady Judd of “spinning” a case for political gain. And, you know, those videos must lie.
So, as expected, it’s another good day for Victoria.
Mercades Nichols Has A Dream

Free At Last? Let’s Hope Not…
A bit of news out of Lakeland, Florida regarding Tori’s case…
Mercades Nichols, one of eight teens charged as adults in the March beating of 16-year-old cheerleader Victoria Lindsay, is seeking permission to talk publicly about the case and travel out of state to give interviews, according to a written request filed in Circuit Court.
I think my unwavering support of Victoria should already indicate what my opinion is on this request from little miss skank Mercades.
The motion to modify the terms of Nichols’ pretrial release also requests eliminating her house arrest conditions and allowing her to get a job.
Nichols’ lawyer, James Holz, said he was advised to file the motion after asking permission from a court employee for Nichols to speak with the media and “issue a possible apology.”
A hearing on the motion is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Tuesday in Circuit Court before Judge Keith Spoto.
Oh, you can be sure that the results of the hearing will be posted here on Blog About Nothing.
Keep supporting Tori!

I Was Right
May 19th, 2008I Was Right
Are You Surprised?
In my previous Victoria Lindsay related posts, I noted that the sentence imposed for the eight jackasses arrested in this case would be somewhat irrelevant, as they will all end up back in jail for various other offenses anyhow. In other words - a complete waste of life.
Well, it didn’t take long at all to prove I was right (but, when am I not?).
The award for Top Dumbass goes to eighteen year-old Mr Stephen Schumaker, originally accused of serving as a lookout during the beating, and charged with felony counts accordingly. It seems that this dumbass is back in jail, booked into the Polk County jail last Tuesday and charged with driving with a suspended license.
So, who will be next? Any guesses?
Put me down for $20 on Mercades Nichols, who I predict will violate her pre-trial conditions before long.

Keep Supporting Victoria
The prosecutors in the Victoria Lindsay beating case have released some additional photographs and videos as part of the discovery phase of the case. This is the point in the case where the prosecution must share its information with the defense (good luck trying to “defend” this one).
As a reminder… I make no claims to unbiased posts regarding this case. I support Tori 100%, just as I’m sure everyone else does. And the benefit of not claiming “fair and balanced” posts about this, or anything else you will read on this blog, is that I can say I very much look forward to laughing at the little fuckers that did this to Tori when each of them are sentenced to prison on the felony charges they’ve been presented with. They are all going to meet some very unfriendly people behind those bars. If only we could see photos and videos of what they are going to look like after their prison “greetings”.
People need to remember what happened here, and keep this in the spotlight. Friends of Tori - which number in the thousands now - need to continue to support her. And we need to push the prosecutors to fight for stiff sentences in this case. The felony charges levied against the morons in this case… Oh, and let’s name them again… April Cooper, 14; Britney Mayes, 17; Kayla Hassell, 15; Brittini Hardcastle, 17; Cara Murphy, 16; Mercades Nichols, 17; Zachary Ashley, 17, and Stephen Schumaker, 18… all carry up to life in prison. While I think most reasonable people would agree that life in prison would be a bit harsh in this case, a good solid year in jail followed by about 10 years of probation would seem fitting for the crime. You know that each of these little punks will violate that probation anyhow and will end up back in the slammer before long.
And, Brittni Hardcastle… There’s a special little place in hell reserved just for you.
To all of the cool people in the world - Keep showing your support for Tori. Just because some time has passed does not mean that she no longer needs us. Send her letters, cards, and anything that will bring a smile to her face:
Tori
P.O. Box 131
Mulberry, FL 33860
Why does she need us? Each picture is worth a thousand words…

About Our Precious Little Snowflake
Some new and fascinating statements were released yesterday related to the Victory Lindsay case in Lakeland, Florida.
The statements indicate that Mary Nichols, grandmother of little skank Mercades Nichols, was troubled that her granddaughter was one of the eight teens participating in the beating of our favorite cheerleader.
Grandmother Nichols stated “I don’t care what anybody does, nobody deserves to be beat like that”.
Well, Gramdma, I respectfully disagree. Your piece of shit granddaughter deserved to be beat like that. In fact, if someone with parental authority had beat her like this during any of her previous outbursts, threats, or arrests, Victoria would not be suffering physically and emotionally as she is today.
Gramdma goes on to say that her granddaughter has “a lot of anger”, but that she has also “shown compassion for stray dogs and rabbits”.
What the fuck? Compassion for dogs and bunnies, but absolutely zero compassion for a fellow human being?
