Deryl Dedmon, 19, received two concurrent life sentences for the racially motivated murder of 49-year-old James Craig Anderson, who died after being beaten and mowed down in a motel parking lot last year.

Dedmon’s admission that he killed Anderson because of his race doubled the teen’s penalty under the state’s hate crime statute.

“I was young, I was dumb, I was ignorant,” Dedmon said during his court hearing in Jackson. “I was full of hatred.”

The sentencing came as the shooting death of a black teenager by a neighborhood watch captain in Florida has again put a national spotlight on the issue of minorities being targeted due to the color of their skin.

Anderson, a Nissan auto worker, was returning to his car before dawn on June 26 when he was confronted by a group of white teenagers in a motel parking lot.

The teens had been drinking at a birthday party and drove to Jackson specifically to harass African-Americans, said Hinds County Assistant District Attorney Scott Rogillio.

Anderson was physically attacked by the group before Dedmon deliberately ran over him with a Ford F-250 truck, Rogillio said. Anderson died at the scene.

Dedmon yelled “white power” during the attack, Rogillio said.

“Your prejudice has brought a great stain on the state of Mississippi,” Circuit Court Judge Jeff Weill Sr. told Dedmon.

Mississippi has a long legacy of racial discrimination and was a focal point of Civil Rights activity during the 1960s and since. The racist Ku Klux Klan was prominent in the state for decades and remnants of the group remain.

James Craig Anderson’s partner, James Bradfield, said the couple’s young son sleeps in his bed now, because “he doesn’t want those people to get me.”

In the victim impact statement, Bradfield, who was too emotional to speak and had a prosecutor read his statement, told Deryl Paul Dedmon, John Aaron Rice, and Dylan Wade Butler that he hoped they never see the light of day again.

“There’s no room on earth for people like you,” he said.

The trio were sentenced to federal prison on Tuesday as a result of Anderson’s 2011 death, a hate crime in which he was beaten and run over by a truck because of the color of his skin.

The three pleaded guilty in March 2012 to one count of conspiracy and one count of committing a hate crime. U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves sentenced Dedmon to 50 years and five years to be served concurrently; John Aaron Rice to 18 ½ years and five years to be served concurrently; and Dylan Wade Butler to seven years and five years to be served concurrently. None of them are eligible for probation.

The judge said Dedmon’s federal sentence will run concurrent with his state sentence.

The three are part of a group of 10 young white people who have no all pleaded guilty to coming to Jackson, which they called “Jafrica,” to harass and assault African-Americans.

Anderson’s sister, Barbara Anderson Young, gave an emotional statement in which she frequently looked straight at the defendants.

“Surely the violence you committed will fall upon your own head,” she said, adding that her brother “lives on in me, and in our family. He also lives in you, the last to see him alive on this earth.”

Butler wrote a letter to the family, part of which he read in court. He told the court about how he came from a mixed race family, with a black stepfather and stepsister and mixed cousins.

“I wish every day I could take everything back, not for me, but for the man who lost his life…” he said. “I never had a hatred for African Americans.

Dylan Cardeilhac Teen Killer Murders Prison Guard

Dylan Cardeilhac was already in jail awaiting sentencing for an armed robbery when he murdered a correctional guard when he was sixteen years old . Dylan Cardeilhac according to court documents would attack the correctional guard and would choke her until she stopped breathing and causing her death. This teen killer would end up being convicted of the murder and would be sentenced to life in prison

The Nebraska Supreme Court has upheld the sentence of a Torrington teenager convicted of choking a Scotts Bluff County Detention Center guard and causing her death.

A jury convicted Dylan Cardeilhac — then 16 — in November 2014 of second-degree murder in the Feb. 16, 2014, death of Amanda Baker. Baker died two days after Cardeilhac attacked the woman, choking her until she was unconscious.

In February 2015, District Court Judge Travis O’Gorman sentenced Dylan Cardeilhac to imprisonment of 60 years to life. In his appeal, Cardeilhac said that the judge failed to comply with proper juvenile sentencing principles. Defense attorneys argued that the sentence was excessive.

Dylan Cardeilhac and his attorney also said that the court erred in advising the jury that it would deliberate in the case until 9 p.m. before breaking for the day and alleged jury misconduct.

According to the appeal, one jury had told Dylan Cardeilhac’s attorneys that after six hours of deliberation, she had been the sole holdout, wanting to convict Cardeilhac of manslaughter rather than second-degree murder. She allegedly said that two of the jurors were “extremely belittling and belligerent” as some of the other jurors made statements to try to persuade her to change her vote.

During that exchange, one of the jurors offered to demonstrate to the woman — who consented — what it was like being choked from behind. Soon after the demonstration, the juror said, she changed her vote from manslaughter to second-degree murder. However, the juror said that she did not feel pressured to change her vote. The defense had previously objected to this re-enactment, asking for a new trial as they felt the demonstration was extraneous prejudicial information received outside of court. The court did not grant a mistrial in the case.

The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled that no juror misconduct had occurred. Reenactments or other exercises by which the jury tests the evidence presented at trial are generally considered appropriate jury conduct, the ruling said.

Jurors had been instructed that they could deliberate until 9 p.m. and would return to the deliberations the next morning, if a verdict was not reached. The Nebraska Supreme Court rejected the defense’s argument that the instruction pressured the jury to come to a deliberation and that it was an appropriate instruction.

Dylan Cardeilhac More News

A judge sentenced a Torrington, Wyoming, teenager convicted of strangling a Scotts Bluff County Corrections officer to 60 years to life in prison on Thursday.

A jury convicted Dylan Cardeilhac, 16, in November of second-degree murder in the Feb. 16, 2014, death of Amanda Baker. Baker, 24, died two days after Cardeilhac attacked the woman, choking her until she was unconscious.

In sentencing Cardeilhac, Judge Travis O’Gorman said he thought that the teen’s violent criminal history and his lack of remorse demonstrated that society needed protection from him.

“This case is just a great tragedy,” he said. “Most of all for the innocent victims in this case — a child lost a mother, a family lost a daughter, a community has lost a someone.”

O’Gorman and Scotts Bluff County Attorney Doug Warner pointed to a lack of remorse shown by Cardeilhac since Baker’s death. O’Gorman noted that Cardeilhac said he “didn’t give a (expletive)” about the killing and that he had said, “I am at the top of the killers.” Warner had pointed to similar statements in arguing that Cardeilhac needed to receive a significant sentence.

Cardeilhac’s attorneys, James Mowbray and Todd Lancaster, presented evidence that Cardeilhac shouldn’t be sentenced to life in prison because of his age.

A psychologist from Boys Town testified that brain development in teens makes them more immature. Defense attorneys argued that Cardeilhac needed to be sentenced to a facility where he could receive rehabilitation.

A Hendersonville teen convicted in April of first-degree murder in the 2012 bludgeoning death of his mother will spend at least 71 years in prison.

Davis, 17, received an automatic life sentence for first-degree murder following a four-day trial in April. On Friday, June 5, Sumner County Judge Dee David Gay sentenced Zachary Davis to 20 years each for the additional charges of attempted first-degree murder and aggravated arson for also setting his house on fire while his older brother slept.

The range for each charge was 15 to 25 years. Gay ordered that those sentences be served concurrently, or at the same time. However, the judge ruled that those sentences should be served consecutive, or after, the life sentence. In Tennessee, a life sentence is 60 years with eligibility for parole after 51 years.

Zachary Davis’ case garnered national attention when television show personality Dr. Phil McGraw aired a jailhouse interview with the teen on May 22. In that interview, conducted two months before his trial, Davis detailed killing his mother, Melanie Davis, with a sledgehammer. When asked why he struck her nearly 20 times, he said in his usual flat, monotone voice that he “wanted to make sure she was dead.”

Davis’ exaggerated head nods and laughing at inappropriate times were “common behaviors for disorders ranging from severe anxiety to schizophrenia,” said McGraw.

“When I look in your eyes, I don’t see evil, I see lost,” he said.

But the judge, who watched the Dr. Phil interview in court on Friday, had a different take on Zachary Davis’ mental state.

Although several mental health experts who testified during the teen’s trial and competency hearing disagreed on a diagnosis, they did agree that he wasn’t legally insane, in that he knew right from wrong, Gay said.

Gay directed most of his comments to Zachary Davis himself, who sat still and showed little emotion.

“The thing that bothers me is that you have shown no regrets, no remorse, in murdering your own mother at age 15,” the judge said.

Other evidence, according to the judge, included two phone apps the teen had – one having to do with serial killers and the other listing torture devices; a notebook with such quotes as “you can’t spell laughter without slaughter;” and his statement to police that “I didn’t feel anything when I killed her.”

“You became evil, Mr. Davis; you went to the dark side. It’s that plain and simple.”

Earlier in the sentencing hearing, Zachary Davis’ paternal grandmother, Gail Cron, asked for leniency and mercy.

She said that if her grandson, whose father died from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) when Zach was 9, been given proper mental health treatment, “this would not have happened.”

“Every teacher, every guidance counselor should have to stand trial with Zach,” she said. “Zach is not a monster. He’s a child who made a horrible mistake.”

In previous court testimony, Cron said that Melanie Davis cut off ties with her after the death of Zach’s father and after the family moved to Hendersonville from Kentucky. She also said that Melanie Davis failed to get her son help when he was diagnosed with depression following his father’s death.

“I would like for Zach not to be forgotten here today like he has for much of his life,” Cron said.

After the trial in April, Gay said he would request that Davis be remanded to the Louis DeBerry Special Needs Facility in Nashville.

Miguel Cano Teen Killer Murders Mother

Miguel Cano was just thirteen years old when he murdered his mother. According to court documents Cano who had planned the brutal murder well ahead of time would fatally stab his mother before sticking her body underneath the house which was found the next day by a contractor. Miguel lawyers had been fighting to get him declared mentally incompetent due to a autism diagnosis. In the end the teen killer would plead guilty and would be sentenced to twenty three years in prison.

Miguel Cano Other News

A South Carolina teen who was 13 years old when he stabbed his mother to death has been sentenced to 23 years in an adult prison for the crime.

Miguel Cano apologized at the Greenville County courthouse Monday for the “horrible, evil thing” he did to his mother in their Simpsonville home in September 2015.

Isabel Zuluaga, 44, was stabbed in the chest, face and neck. One stab wound went all the way through her chest and into the mattress she was laying on in her son’s room, Solicitor Walt Wilkins said.

Wilkins asked for a significant sentence because Cano, now 17, told investigators he planned the brutal attack and thought about killing other people, too.

“There are many people that my crime impacted very negatively, and to you I am sorry. I am not happy to have hurt you. Some have lost a good friend. Others, a good family member, and I am ashamed to have caused it,” Cano said, according to media reports.

Cano’s lawyers said he had trouble controlling his emotions and was diagnosed with autism after his arrest. They had sought to have him found mentally incompetent to stand trial.

Zuluaga’s body was found by a contractor who came to the house to work. When he didn’t get an answer at the door, the contractor went under the house and found Cano sitting there and blood dripping down from the floor.

Cano said he killed his mother the night before. Bloody paper towels were found around her body.

A judge ruled last year that Cano could be tried as an adult on a murder charge, which carried a possible sentence of 30 years to life in prison. Prosecutors accepted a plea deal to voluntary manslaughter, which carried two to 30 years behind bars. If Cano had been tried and convicted as a juvenile, he couldn’t have been kept in prison after he turned 21.

Public Defender Christopher Scalzo asked for a 13-year sentence because of Cano’s age and autism.

Family members and friends also testified Monday, saying Cano was smart and liked to play soccer, but also seemed to enjoy violence and had talked about murder.

Cano read his apology in court in a clear, calm voice.

“I’ll continue to try my best to be a better person, not just during my incarceration, but as long as I live,” Cano said.

Miguel Cano More News

A Greenville teen accused in the gruesome stabbing death of his mother was sentenced to 23 years behind bars.

Miguel Cano was 13 when his 44-year-old mother, Isabel Cristina Zuluaga, 44, was killed Aug. 31, 2015. Officials said she was stabbed more than 28 times in their home.

Charged as an adult, Cano, now 17, pleaded guilty last week to the murder of his mother.

Prosecutors, led by 13th Circuit Solicitor Walter Wilkins, asked for the maximum sentence of 30 years. Monday, Judge Letitia Verdin sentenced Cano to 23 years in prison.

“We were trying to get a result that is satisfactory to our society at the time and moment that we’re in right now and I think that we did that through light of discussion, conversation, argument and presentation,” Wilkins said.

Sheriff Steve Loftis said at the time of Cano’s arrest, a contractor, who was in a crawl space under Zuluaga’s house on Hipps Avenue on Sept. 1, 2015, saw Cano sitting under the house. After talking to him, the contractor said he asked Cano to leave.

The contractor said that after Miguel Cano left, he continued to crawl under the home, and he saw blood coming through cracks in the floor. He said he went into the house and found Zuluaga’s body in a bedroom. (To read the contractor’s firsthand account, click here)

Deputies found the boy a few hours later walking along Woodruff Road, headed toward Spartanburg County. Loftis said after Cano was in custody he “readily admitted to stabbing his mother the night before” after he was in custody.

The 17-year-old spoke Monday afternoon in court.

“There are many people that my crime impacted very negatively, and to you, I am sorry,” he said. “I am not happy to have hurt you. Some have lost a good friend. Others, a good family member, and I am ashamed to have caused it.”

Verdin expressed sympathy for the family.

“I will tell you,” she said. “This is probably the most difficult case I’ve ever had.”

Cano’s defense team argued his Asperger’s syndrome diagnosis was partly to blame for the way he acted during the crime.

“He certainly didn’t have the ability to kind of take a look at himself and look at his own deficits,” said public defender Christopher Scalzo, who represented Cano on Monday.

Loftis said Miguel Cano told deputies that he went to bed after killing his mother. He said when the contractor arrived in the morning, it startled him and he hid under the home.

Loftis said there were defensive wounds on Zuluaga’s body. He said she was about 5 feet, 10 inches tall, and her son is about the same height.

The sheriff, said that at the time of Cano’s arrest, he showed no remorse and did not give a motive for the stabbing.

Maricela Diaz Teen Killer Murders Teen In South Dakota

According to court documents Maricela Diaz and Alexander Salgado would lure the victim to a remote location where the sixteen year old victim was stabbed repeatedly, placed inside of a vehicle and set on fire. Maricela Diaz would be arrested, convicted and sentenced to eighty years in prison. This teen killer has appealed her sentence

Maricela Diaz was barely a teenager when she helped murder another teenage girl. Now, that decision could cost her 80 years of her life.

In January, a jury found Maricela Diaz guilty on all charges relating to the 2009 death of a Jasmine Guevara. Friday, a judge sentenced Diaz to 80 years in prison for first degree murder and 50 years for aggravated assault, which will be served concurrently.

The sentencing in Alexandria took most of the day, where prosecutors held up a picture of Guevara, then a picture of her burned body after her death. A short time later, 20-year-year-old Maricela Diaz learned her fate.

“I will be sad for the rest of my life,” said Guevara’s mother Ada Morales.

Nearly five and a half years after the 16-year-old’s death, her mother and sister spoke about the things Jasmine will never experience.

“I wanted her to see the life, the beautiful life that she took away,” said Jasmine’s sister Ada Guevara.

Guevara says no words can describe the hurt, pain and trauma her family has endured. She described her younger sister as the first person to lend a hand, just as she did to Alexander Salgado and Diaz when they first arrived in Mitchell.

Guevara said, “This is it. This was our last chance. This is all we get. I was just trying to express. I had just been trying to express what had been piling up for the last five years.”

On Nov. 10, 2009, Maricela Diaz, who was 15 at the time, and Salgado, lured Jasmine to a remote site near Mitchell. She was stabbed and left for dead in the trunk of a burning car. Before Diaz was sentenced, she told the victim’s family she hopes they will be able to forgive her for her role in Jasmine’s death.

In one of the rare moments that we’ve seen her cry, she said, “I ask you, your honor, please have mercy on me.”

“It’s truly hard to say what Maricela Diaz feels or what she thinks. Only she can say those things,” said Guevara.

While the judge recognized that Maricela Diaz has now been incarcerated for a fourth of her life and has since gotten her GED, the judge said her crime crossed the bounds of all human decency. For that, she will serve at least 40 years behind bars.

Morales said, “I don’t know if any sentence will be enough, but I don’t know about for everybody, but it’s fair enough.”

The defense said Maricela Diaz wanted the chance to raise her young daughter. They asked that she be sentenced to 15 years in prison. The judge says he set the price for taking Jamine’s life very, very high.

Salgado pleaded guilty to 2nd-degree murder in august of 2010, after accepting a plea deal. He is now serving a life sentence.

Maricela Diaz More News

A 16-year-old girl accused of murdering a fellow 16-year-old Mitchell girl two years ago made her first appearance in adult court Wednesday.

Maricela Diaz, 16, of Fort Wayne, Ind., and Guanajuato, Mexico, appeared in court in Alexandria and was charged with first-degree murder, felony murder by arson, first degree arson, felony murder committed during kidnapping and second-degree aggravated kidnapping

If convicted on the most severe charges, she would face a mandatory sentence of life in prison. According to the South Dakota Attorney General’s Office, states cannot seek the death penalty for an offender who was younger than 18 at the time the crime was committed.

The charges stem from the murder of Jasmine Guevara, 16, of Mitchell, on Nov. 10, 2009. Diaz and Alexander Salgado, 21, were arrested for the murder. Until Wednesday, Diaz’s identity was concealed by authorities because of her juvenile status, and she was known to the public only as “M.D.”

South Dakota law says the courts may use a number of factors to weigh whether a child should be tried in adult court, including the seriousness of an alleged felony offense and whether the alleged felony was committed in an “aggressive, violent, premeditated or willful manner.”

No juvenile prosecuted for a crime may stay within the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections beyond age 21, according to state law, which may have been a reason for transferring Diaz to adult court.

Court documents state both Diaz and Salgado admitted during police interviews that they killed Guevara. Salgado, who has a child with Diaz, pleaded guilty in 2010 to second-degree murder as part of a plea agreement with the state. He was sentenced to life in prison and is currently serving his sentence at the South Dakota State Penitentiary in Sioux Falls. Diaz is being held in the Minnehaha County juvenile detention center.

Guevara was lured to a rural Hanson County house under false pretenses, stabbed and burned alive in the trunk of her car. Salgado told authorities that Diaz was fueled by jealousy of Guevara.

Court documents state Guevara, Salgado and Diaz attended a party on Nov. 8, 2009. Witnesses at the party said Diaz became jealous because of a suspected relationship between Guevara and Salgado.

“Diaz indicated that she wanted to fight with Jasmine, but no such fight ensued that evening,” according to court documents.

” ‘I’m gonna kill you and I’m gonna kill the girl,’ ” Salgado quoted Diaz as saying.

Diaz and Salgado had been staying with an acquaintance at a residence approximately one block from where Guevara resided, according to court documents. Both residences are near the corner of First and Minnesota in Mitchell.

Court documents state Diaz and Salgado told Guevara to pick them up to attend a cookout.

“When Guevara picked Salgado and Diaz up at their residence, Salgado and Diaz had secured and hidden a knife for each of them,” court documents state.

According to a portion of court records read aloud during Salgado’s sentencing by his attorney, Mike Fink, of Bridgewater, Salgado admitted that he drove with Diaz and Guevara in Guevara’s car to the “Haunt House,” an unoccupied building in rural Hanson County. After leaving the car on Diaz’s instruction, Salgado returned to the sound of screaming and found Diaz repeatedly stabbing Guevara in the legs and stomach with such force that the blade of the knife bent.

Court documents state Salgado returned to the car to find the doors locked. He gained entrance into the vehicle, sat behind Guevara, who was in the driver’s seat, and stabbed Guevara “a number of times.”

“At some point during the attack, Guevara was able to open the driver’s side door in an attempt to escape,” according to court documents. “However, Salgado grabbed Guevara by the hair in order to restrain her and keep her from escaping.”

The knife stayed in Guevara’s neck as the two put her body in the trunk, drove the car into some trees and ignited the car with lighter fluid Guevara had purchased earlier that evening under the belief that it was for a cookout.

The fire was determined to be the cause of Guevara’s death.

Court documents state a search of the residence where Diaz and Salgado were staying revealed clothing soiled with Guevara’s blood. Guevara’s phone was recovered in an area provided by Salgado and Diaz.

Even after Salgado confessed to Guevara’s murder, he still referred to Diaz as “sweetie” and “my love,” according to court documents.

“I love you a lot,” Salgado told Maricela Diaz in Spanish after his first police interview. “Everything I did was for love.”

Until Wednesday, the status of the girl known as “M.D.” was secret. The South Dakota Attorney General’s Office remained quiet on any details surrounding Diaz, citing a policy that prohibits the office from commenting on juvenile matters.

Court documents state a motion to transfer Maricela Diaz to adult court was heard between Jan. 31 and Feb. 4. She was officially transferred to adult court Wednesday by Judge Sean O’Brien.

A representative from Hanson County State’s Attorney Jim Davies’ office said Davies is not taking any questions on the case. Sara Rabern, spokeswoman for the South Dakota Attorney General’s Office, said Doug Dailey and Chris Nipe, both of Mitchell, have been appointed to represent Diaz.

First-degree murder, felony murder by arson and felony murder committed during kidnapping are all Class A felonies punishable by a mandatory sentence of life in prison.

Second-degree aggravated kidnapping is a Class 1 felony punishable by a maximum of 50 years in prison. Firstdegree arson is a Class 2 felony with a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison.
