A 16-year-old told two Middle Georgia men on Facebook that he was interested in buying a dirt bike they had for sale.

To finalize the deal, they drove to meet the teen in Walton County, where they were shot several times in the back of the head and robbed.

Kinterie Kiatis Durden, who is now 19, was convicted Wednesday of killing the two men in 2017, the Walton County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release. The two victims were 30-year-old Davoddren Harris and 26-year-old Cortez White.

Harris and White lived in Meriwether County and were trying to sell a Yamaha dirt bike on Facebook Marketplace. On May 22, Kinterie Kiatis Durden told the two he was interested in buying the bike and asked them to drive to his home in Social Circle, the release said.

The two men let Kinterie Kiatis Durden get into the back of their Toyota Tacoma, which was carrying the dirt bike, and they were driving along Clegg Farm Road, the release said. That’s when Durden shot Harris, who was driving, twice in the back of the head and White three times in the back of the head and once in his back.

The pickup truck, which was moving slowly at the time of the shooting, flipped over and landed right-side up, the release said. Kinterie Kiatis Durden then crawled out of the vehicle and rode away on the dirt bike.

Kinterie Kiatis Durden later showed off the motorcycle to his friends, claiming he bought it, the release said. He hid the bike in the woods that night, however.

He was arrested the next day and has remained in the county’s jail ever since.

Kinterie Kiatis Durden was found guilty of two counts of malice murder, felony murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, the release said. His sentencing will be held at a later date.

After a 16-year-old shot and killed two men in Walton County and stole their dirt bike, the next thing he did was ride it around and show off to his friends.

It would be his last action as a free man.

Kinterie Kiatis Durden, who is now 19, was sentenced Thursday to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the double malice murder. During his court appearance, which was done over Zoom, he appeared content.

“It’s all good,” he said, during his last address to Judge Samuel D. Ozburn before his sentencing.

In May 2017, Durden told the two victims that he was interested in buying the Yamaha dirt bike they posted for sale on Facebook. The sellers, 30-year-old Davoddren Harris and 26-year-old Cortez White, both of Meriwether County, drove to Durden’s home in Social Circle to finalize the deal

The two men let Durden get into the back of their Toyota Tacoma, which was carrying the dirt bike, and began driving along Glegg Farm Road, according to prosecutors.

Without warning, Durden shot Harris, who was driving, twice in the back of the head. He then turned the gun toward White, who was shot three times in the head and once in his back.https://12ab3b0f1f6d9db14cc9a88c9f219063.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html

The pickup truck, which was moving slowly at the time, flipped over and landed right-side up. Durden then crawled out of the vehicle and rode away on the dirt bike, leaving the two men to die.

After showing the bike off to his friends — and lying about purchasing it — he hid it in some nearby woods. He was arrested the next day.

At his trial, Durden testified that the double shooting was in self-defense. However, the judge said that was the seventh time his story changed.

“What bothers me about this case was when he was first interviewed, he denied even being there,” Ozburn said Wednesday before the sentencing. “He admitted in cross-examination that he had told at least six different tales, with another different one at trial.”

Former District Attorney Layla Zon said Durden texted his girlfriend minutes after the murder, bragging about the bike. She said he’s never shown any remorse.

“There was no sudden impulsion in this crime,” Zon said. “This was a premeditated crime, cold and calculated.”

In November 2019, Durden was convicted on all counts, including two counts of malice murder, felony murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault and other firearm-related charges.

Since then, he’s had several issues while in custody in the Walton County jail, including a complaint that he made sexual statements and performed lewd acts in front of a corrections officer, the judge said. The officer testified about the incidents during the sentencing hearing.

Just before was announcing his sentence, Obsurn listed Durden’s lengthy juvenile record. It included breaking a student’s jaw once, stealing a firearm on multiple occasions and stealing motor vehicles.

“This is a very troubled young man, and I am deeply concerned with him as an individual,” he said. “I’m finding that he is irreparably corrupt.

To close out the hearing, Durden’s attorney filed a motion to appeal the verdict and sentence

Timothy Chavers, the man twice convicted of murdering a Fort Walton Beach teenager during a 2010 drug robbery, was re-sentenced Monday afternoon to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Chavers, now 25 years old, is one of six people in Okaloosa County who were sentenced to life in prison as juveniles, and who were granted hearings to re-examine their sentences thanks to a 2014 ruling that said it wasn’t mandatory to sentence juveniles to life if they were convicted of first degree murder.

Chavers’ defense attorney, Todd Early, argued before Okaloosa County Circuit Judge William Stone that there were several mitigating factors that warranted a reduced sentence for Chavers. The minimum sentence Chavers could have received was 40 years in prison.

Instead, Stone re-sentenced him to life, possibly setting a precedent for the four remaining cases to be heard in the coming months.

Chavers, was 17 on March 4, 2010, when he and three other teens lured 17-year-old Christopher Pitcock to the corner of Oakland Circle and Lula Belle Lane in Fort Walton Beach under the pretense of buying marijuana from him. They actually planned to steal Pitcock’s marijuana, according to prosecutors.

During the meeting, Timothy fatally shot Pitcock in the side with a .357 Magnum as Pitcock sat in his Chevrolet Blazer.

Chavers and 16-year-olds Tyree Rashand Washington, Kyle Markeith Walling and Jonathan Lee Louviere were arrested in a matter of days. They were all charged with first degree murder.

Washington and Walling were convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. Louviere pleaded no contest to second degree murder as an accomplice and was sentenced to 15 years.

Walling had a hearing in November 2017, but his new sentence has not yet been determined. Washington’s hearing will be held in October.

Chavers was convicted of first degree murder and attempted robbery at his 2011 trial and was also given life in prison without parole. His conviction was overturned in 2013 when an appeals court found that his Miranda Rights were violated during his arrest and jury instructions given at his trial were inadequate.

Timothy Chavers was convicted again in 2014, but wasn’t given a new sentence pending his hearing after the 2014 juvenile sentencing ruling.

Connor And Brandon Doran Teen Killers

Connor And Brandon Doran Teen Killers

Brothers Connor and Brandon Doran along with a fourteen year old friend Simon Evans would beat a homeless man to death in Liverpool England. According to court documents these teen killers were walking around Liverpool late at night when they came across the victim sleeping in the streets. The three teenagers would proceed to beat the victim who would die in hospital six days later from his injuries.

Connor and Brandon Doran, whose older brother is serving a life sentence for murder, mother would provide a false alibi for her sons however in the end they would be arrested, charged and convicted of the murder. Connor Doran must serve at least 12 years, Brandon Doran must serve at least six years and Simon Evans must serve at least eight years.

Three teenagers who murdered a homeless man in Liverpool for a dare have been given custodial sentences.

Liverpool Crown Court heard Kevin Bennett, 53, was attacked as he slept outside a supermarket on 17 August.

He suffered a fractured eye socket, a collapsed lung and a broken ribcage and died in hospital six days later.

Brothers Connor and Brandon Doran, aged 17 and 14, and Simon Evans, 14, were told they would be detained until the home secretary approved their release.

Passing sentence, Judge Clement Goldstone QC, the Recorder of Liverpool, said: “I think it is a desperately sad reflection on this society that each of you was party to serious violence purely for the sake of it.”

Connor Doran, labelled the “leader of the pack” by the judge, was sentenced to a minimum of 12 years.

Evans was ordered to serve at least eight years and Brandon Doran received six years for acting as lookout during the attack.

The three boys, who all denied murder, were found guilty in February following a four-week trial.

The Doran brothers’ mother, Linda Doran, 42, was jailed for 30 months after being convicted by the jury of perverting the course of justice by providing false alibis for her sons.

Her eldest son, Ryan, 23, was convicted of murder and jailed for life in October after he attacked a stranger with a bottle in a chip shop.

Another of her sons, Jordan, 21, was jailed for six months in February for contempt of court after using a mobile phone to capture images of the courtroom during the trial of his brothers and mother.

The judge described Linda Doran as a “pathetic and tragic character”.

He said: “You have another son who is serving life for murder. There are not many parents who have that sort of personal agony to bear.

“But then again, not that many mothers would have shown themselves to be either so unwilling or unable to shoulder the responsibility of motherhood as you have.”

The court had heard Mr Bennett had been in a pub from 11:00 BST on 16 August and had consumed up to 12 cans of lager.

He left at about midnight with a bag containing cans of beer and slept rough behind an Iceland store on County Road, Walton. He was attacked at about 05:30 BST the following morning.

The jury was told Connor Doran had goaded Evans by saying: “I bet you haven’t got it in you to do him in.”

Evans later told his friend: “I started kicking him, I booted him and now he’s dead.”

Brandon Doran stood lookout as the attack took place, the prosecution said.

Mr Bennett was described as “vulnerable” and a “heavy drinker” by the prosecution.

He died in hospital from blood poisoning after an infection set in, causing organ failure.

Det Insp Cheryl Rhodes, who led the investigation, said: “The defendants went out looking for trouble that night and CCTV shows them roaming the empty streets in the early hours of the morning.

“The suffering Kevin endured before his death and the pain and heartbreak inflicted on his family can never be taken back, but I hope that the conviction and sentencing of these young men brings them a sense of closure and justice.”

Speaking outside court, Mr Bennett’s cousin Angela Connerty, 49, said: “Justice has been done and that’s all we wanted as a family.

“We keep asking, why did they pick on him? We will never, ever know why they did that to him.”

The “exceptional and unforeseen” behaviour of a teenage killer has led a judge to reduce his minimum jail term.

Simon Evans was ordered to serve a minimum of eight years after being convicted of murdering Kevin Bennett in Liverpool with two others in 2013.

London’s High Court heard Evans, who was 14 at the time, had since become a “role model” for other prisoners.

Judge Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb said as a result, he could now apply for parole in February 2020.

Evans and brothers Connor and Brandon Doran, aged 17 and 14, attacked 53-year-old Keith Bennett as he slept outside a supermarket on 17 August 2012. He died in hospital six days later.

The High Court heard the now 19-year-old Evans, who also tried to get his minimum tariff reduced in 2017, had admitted delivering the first kick, but was not “the principal protagonist”.

The judge was told that he had acted as a mentor to other prisoners, as a listener for the Samaritans and been the standard bearer for a prison Remembrance Day service in 2015.

Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb said a psychiatrist had reported Evans was “gutted” about what he did and was described as “a polite and gentle boy who follows the rules” with “exemplary” behaviour.

A charity he worked with described him as having “masses of compassion”, she said, adding that he wanted “to look ahead in his life, complete his education and become a sports teacher”.

As a result, she said the “time has come” to mark Evans’ “positive approach” and “willingness to take every possible step he can to achieve his long-term life goals without repeating the errors of his youth”.

Connor Doran, labelled the “leader of the pack” by the judge, was sentenced to a minimum of 12 years and Brandon Doran received six years for acting as lookout during the attack.

Sandy Charles Teen Killer Murders 7 Year Old Boy

Sandy Charles Teen Killer

Sandy Charles was fourteen years old when he and a eight year old accomplice lured a seven year old boy to an abandoned lot and tortured then murdered him. Canada does not charge children under twelve and the eight year old accomplice has never been named. This teen killer  would be found not guilty by reason of insanity and has been kept in a mental health facility since his arrest

Residents in the normally quiet community of La Ronge, Sask., 400 km northeast of Saskatoon, reacted with shock and disbelief last summer when a local teenager was charged with first-degree murder in the brutal stabbing death of seven-year-old Johnathan Thimpsen. But it was not until last week, when 14-year-old Sandy Charles stood trial in adult court in Saskatoon, that the full horror of the crime sank in.

After the lanky teenager pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, the court heard how Charles and an unnamed eight-year-old accomplice lured Thimpsen into the bush near his home. Charles repeatedly stabbed Thimpsen and crushed his skull with a 12-lb. rock. Then, apparently mimicking a ritual he saw in the 1991 movie Warlock, Charles tore 15 strips off Thimpsen’s body and boiled the flesh into liquid fat. After his arrest, Charles told police he was in the thrall of spirits when he committed the murder. “I started to think about killing,” he said. “Something wanted me to.”

Most of the testimony last week centred on the teenager’s motivations and state of mind at the time of the killing. Defence lawyer Barry Singer said that Sandy Charles had been deeply affected by Warlock, which he viewed at least 10 times in the days leading up to the murder. Like the title character in the movie, Singer said that Sandy Charles believed he would become a son of the devil and be able to fly if he drank the boiled fat of an unbaptized male child.

Singer also called psychiatric experts who testified that Charles was suffering from a serious mental disorder and that he had lost touch with reality when he ended Thimpsen’s life.. But prosecutor Robin Ritter suggested that Charles could tell right from wrong and noted that he and his accomplice—who could not be charged because of his age and who is now in a foster home—had decided to kill a child 10 days before the murder and selected Thimpsen as their victim. Ritter also said that Sandy Charles had told youth jail staff that he hoped to be declared insane so that he would be sent to a psychiatric hospital and released in two years.

The trial was to continue this week. But it has already revived the thorny debate over

the impact of violence in the media. Wendy Josephson, a University of Winnipeg psychologist who has studied TV violence, told Maclean’s that so-called copycat murders tend to follow a familiar pattern, with the perpetrator strongly identifying with a violent movie, ruminating and finally acting on it. She added that the most vulnerable are those adolescents who tend to think what they see in the visual media is real and who do not have enough counterbalancing positive influences in their lives. ‘There is a cost to having so much exposure to violence,” she said. “What we have to decide as a society is what to do about it.”

Back in La Ronge, residents had more immediate concerns as they reached out to comfort one another at church services and healing circles. Beyond the gruesome evidence in the case, observed local United Church minister Heather Wyatt, the most shocking aspect was the age of both the perpetrators and victim. “That’s not supposed to happen,” she said. “Children are not supposed to kill children. Something is very wrong.”

Child-killer Sandy Charles says he wants to be transferred to Saskatchewan Hospital at some point within a year.

Charles made the claim in a Saskatoon provincial courtroom Wednesday, appearing in front of a review board via video from the Regional Psychiatric Centre (RPC), where he is currently incarcerated.

In 1995, a 14-year-old Charles and an 8-year old accomplice killed a 7-year-old boy in La Ronge, Sask. after stabbing the boy with a knife and beating him to death with a beer bottle and a rock. Charles cut off strips of the boy’s flesh and cooked them. He claimed he was inspired by a horror movie and was eventually found not guilty by reason of insanity.

Charles has spent the majority of his time in custody at RPC but was transferred to Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford, Sask. last year. He was later transferred back to RPC after behaviour issues, which he said were on purpose because he wanted to leave the facility.

RPC operates as both a hospital and a penitentiary with similar security to a maximum security facility, while Saskatchewan Hospital is a psychiatric rehabilitation centre.

A representative from the Saskatchewan Hospital said Charles would have to adhere to more rigid institutional rules if he was going to be successful at the facility. Experts on the review board questioned Charles, asking him how he would approach this transfer differently.

Charles stated that he was “working on” his behaviour issues, specially mentioning his anger problem, and that he has attempted to socialize more with other RPC inmates.

He said he wants to be transferred to Saskatchewan Hospital so he can go through the process of eventually being released to the public.

A Doraville teen will spend 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to killing a man during the Craigslist sale of his video gaming system.

Kayla Dixon, now 18, took the plea on the same day her trial was to begin.

Prosecutors say Dixon and her boyfriend, Nathaniel Vivien, responded to a Craigslist ad posted by Danny Zeitz in September 2014, intending to rob him. When Zeitz resisted, Dixon admits she took a gun out from between her legs and fired off a fatal shot.

“I would trade anything, almost anything, to bring Daniel back. But I know I can’t,” Dixon said through tears in a prepared statement.  “I know he had plans.  I wish I could tell him I’m so, so sorry that this happened, but I can’t.”

Dixon’s attorney told Judge Wendy Shoob her client had a rough childhood, that included rape and several failed relationships with men who were involved in criminal activity.

“Nothing, in any way, excuses what happened, but this is, in some way, an explanation of how things led to being where they were,” said Leah Abbasi.

Dixon asked Zeitz’s family to forgive her.

“I want Daniel’s family to know that I regret that day. I’m so sorry. I ask that God heals the hearts of Daniel’s loved ones,” she said. “I know I’m facing a long time away and I hope one day my apology will matter.”

Shoob said what happened was tragic for everyone involved and accepted the negotiated plea deal.

Beforehand, Zeitz’s mother, Patty, spoke of the grief her family has endured.

“Each day we wake, even a year and nine months, with the shocking realization that life as we knew it with our son, brother and friend will no longer exist,” she said.  “The loss of Danny has reached the depths of our hearts, souls and the hearts and souls of thousands around the world of his gifts of kindness and joy.”

Zeitz, a semi-professional gamer, had fans around the world and was the subject of a documentary entitled “Level Up” after his murder.

After the hearing, Zeitz told Petchenik her family accepts Dixon’s apology, but says it will be a long time before they can forgive her. 

“At first I didn’t want to accept her apology.  I thought her apology today was very heartfelt and I feel like she is truly sorry for what happened,” she told Petchenik.  “It’s just a crime that young people can get caught in these situations because of the examples they’d had in their lives.”

Zeitz’s father, John, told Petchenik he hopes Dixon can be rehabilitated in prison.

“I hope it stays with her and she becomes a better person and able to contribute when she finally does get out,” he said.

Dixon’s co-defendant, Nathaniel Vivien, still faces a trial later this summer.  Dixon’s attorney told the judge she is willing to testify against him if asked.
