They seem to be writing a book making the background of a crime sound lovely and peaceful, then, bam! One crazy person snaps! And life goes back to being charming. |

Updated at 10:17 PM ALLENTOWN, PA (AP) - May 23, 2013 (WPVI) -- An eastern Pennsylvania woman who fatally stabbed her fiance on their wedding day - and then apparently could not comprehend that he had died - was convicted of first-degree murder on Thursday. Jurors found Na Cola Franklin, 32, guilty after deliberating about three hours in Lehigh County Court. She could get life in prison when she is sentenced July 16. Her attorney said an appeal is likely. Prosecutors say Franklin and 36-year-old Billy Brewster got into the deadly argument on August 11, around 2 a.m., in their Whitehall Township apartment. They were scheduled to be married at 10 a.m. in neighboring Allentown. At her arraignment that night, Franklin appeared distraught and confused to learn Brewster was dead, telling the judge, "You got to check again!" Defense attorney, John Waldron, told jurors during the trial this week that Brewster had come home drunk that night after an impromptu bachelor party. Brewster attacked Franklin and then tried to leave with the couple's 9-month-old son, Waldron said. Waldron argued Franklin killed the groom-to-be after grabbing a knife to protect her child. He had pushed for a voluntary manslaughter conviction, which carries a lighter sentence. But prosecutors, who said the child was not in danger, sought a first-degree murder conviction. First Assistant District Attorney Steven Luksa said Thursday that he hopes the verdict will bring some comfort to Brewster's family, according to the Express-Times of Easton. On the day of the planned wedding, neighbor Steve Engel said the pastor who was supposed to marry the couple came looking for them at the apartment building. Distraught people in suits and dresses - presumably ceremony guests - then began showing up throughout the day, Engel said. |

lmao. I guess they added that because they wanted to illustrate the fact that you couldn't tell from looking at the area what happened. articles about these things usually mention the contrast between the crime and what the public sees, to make people think twice about their neighborhoods. I guess now I know why the articles about ariel castro felt the need to mention how he drank kool aid and looked in the mirror. they want you to see how normal he can pretend to be. |

I don't think drinking Kool-Aid in front of a mirror is the, "norm." Harmless enough, but, what was in the Kool-Aid? I've never practiced drinking a beverage or eating in front of a mirror, but, hey, that's just me I think it's insane that his animals were treated better than humans I haven't seen bluepinktriangle on here in awhle. Or cumulonimbus! |
