More Murder in Marion
This time it's two teenage punks, who killed a man just passing through. With a baseball bat.
OCALA - Police have arrested two teens in the aluminum baseball bat beating death of a 44-year-old man that a prosecutor has described as "brutal" and committed "for entertainment or out of pure meanness."
James Roberts, 18, told the Star-Banner Saturday that he was defending William Anthony Myers, 16, and that he lashed out at Robert Towns Leigh because the man "was messing with my cousin."
Police, however, agree with the prosecutor, including Capt. Jim McGowan, who said, "This crime was an unprovoked, vicious attack on another human being."
Leigh's body was discovered Wednesday slumped over on a bench in front of the Western Roundup store, 3130 N.W. Blitchton Road.
Leigh, who had lived in Miami for two years, had called his brother and a friend to say he was headed for Tallahassee on Tuesday.
These two are prime examples of the need for the death penalty.
Bastards should fry.

BFF,

Thank you, Miss T. This savagery requires a slow painful execution. Too bad we're all just too civilized to provide real justice.
i went to grade school with the younger one william, as for the other kid i never met him. but william, he never seemed like that type of guy. i hate to see him in that position. but that dont meen i agree with what he did. im truely sorry for the family and wish william the best of luck in there.
