I find it unusual that you don't know any men who would kill under these circumstances, given that you live, not just in the South, but in Louisiana.

Well, I have very few redneck friends...that probably explains it. And, no, not everyone in La. is a redneck or a coonass. Some of us are normal.... : )

She probably does and doesn't realize it.

True, in the kinder, gentler South a lot of that stuff stays below the surface and doesn't get spoken. Unless all she knows are transplanted Yankees, in which case a lot of that stuff stays below the surface and doesn't get spoken.

I tracked down the following info.

Convictions:
Michael Magidson, 25, and Jose Merel, 26, were convicted of second-degree murder in Araujo's killing and were sentenced in January 2006 to 15 years to life in prison. Jason Cazares, 26, who struck a deal with prosecutors last month by pleading no contest to a lesser charge, received a six-year sentence. A fourth defendant, Jaron Nabors, 22, who testified against the others, is expected to be sentenced on May 22 to 11 years in prison.

WebSite:
The list "Five Facts Missing", above, is from this web page: http://www.horizonsfoundation.org/pa...aujo_5keyfacts


Lifetime Movie:
The life of Gwen Araujo, the Newark boy who identified and lived as a girl and was killed because of it, is being made into a TV movie by Lifetime.

That may seem like a racy topic for a network whose forte is family stories -- and is most popular in the American heartland -- but network executives believe it's high time the story of Gwen, and those like her, be told from a family's point of view. ...
