Zachary Davis was fifteen years old when he murdered his mother with a sledgehammer and attempted to murder his older brother. According to court documents Davis confronted his mother about his older brother sexually abusing him and when the mother denied this teen killer allegedly snapped. In the end Zachary Davis would be convicted on murder, attempted murder and arson and must serve seventy years before he is eligible for parole
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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

A Corpus Christi teenager who admitted to killing his mother and raping her corpse was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison.
Kevin Davis, 18, beat Kimberly Hill, his 50-year-old mother, with a hammer, strangled her with a cord and stabbed her in the head on March 27.
Davis pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in June, but investigators played video in court on Tuesday showing him confessing to the crime, KIII TV reports.
“If I was to ask you what did she do to deserve this, what would you answer?” an investigator asked in the interview footage.
“Absolutely nothing. I’m just a terrible, disgusting person,” Davis said.
In the video confession, jurors heard Davis explain how he stuck his hand into the open wound and moved her brain around to make sure she was dead, KZTV-TV reports.
After that, the accused told investigators that he raped his mother’s dead body, adding “Guess I lost my virginity to a dead corpse.”
Davis tells detectives in the video that he had “the best mother,” one who didn’t deserve to die.
When police asked if he regretted his action, Davis said, “In a way, yes, but I wouldn’t take back what I did,” adding, “I did love her in a way. I’m a terrible, disgusting person.”
Davis told police he asked his mother for permission to die because he was bored with life and did not like other people,
He said she was upset but told him she could not control what he did so he decided to kill her, Davis told detectives, according to RawStory.com.
“I don’t have standards, I don’t have morals. A body’s a body — a piece of meat,” Davis said.
The trial began Tuesday, but both sides rested early Wednesday morning after the defense chose not to call any witnesses. Davis’ attorney did ask jurors not to give his client the 99-year maximum punishment.
Prosecutors argued that medical experts did not say Davis has mental or psychotic issues, and pointed out that he admitted to police that, if given the chance, he would probably kill again, according to KIII TV.

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers will not grant a pardon or commutation to Brendan Dassey for his conviction in the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach.
The governor’s office and pardon advisory board sent a letter to Dassey, 30, and his attorneys stating:
“Unfortunately, we are unable to consider your application for pardon because you do not meet one or more of the required eligibility conditions.”
The governor’s office says those requirements are:
“It has not been at least five years since you completed your entire sentence for the conviction you want to be pardoned.”
“You are currently required to register as a sex offender under Wis. Stat. 301.45.”
CLICK HERE to read the letter.
Dassey’s attorneys responded with a statement Friday afternoon saying the parole advisory board’s decision “has caused pain to many around the globe,” citing his international support from “more than 250 national experts and millions of ordinary people.”
Attorneys Laura Nirider and Steven Drizin said Gov. Evers has the power to commute Dassey’s sentence and they’re ready to work with him to that end. The governor’s office says Evers is not considering commutations at this time.
They added that Dassey is not giving up hope (read the complete statement below).
As Action 2 News first reported in October, Dassey’s attorneys formally asked Wisconsin’s governor to grant clemency to their client. The Dassey defense team asked Evers for two forms of relief–either a pardon or a commutation. A commutation would shorten Dassey’s life sentence.
“Brendan Dassey was a sixteen-year-old, intellectually disabled child when he was taken from his school and subjected to a uniquely and profoundly flawed legal process. That process rightly sought justice for Teresa Halbach, but it wrongly took a confused child’s freedom in payment for her loss. Such a debt can never be justly repaid with the currency of innocence,” reads the clemency petition.
The Dassey case gained international attention with two seasons of the Netflix docu-series Making A Murderer.
On Oct. 31, 2005, freelance photographer Teresa Halbach disappeared after a trip to photograph a vehicle at the Avery Salvage Yard in Manitowoc County. Investigators say they found Halbach’s remains in a burn pit on the Avery property. Steven Avery and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, were arrested and charged with Halbach’s murder.
In 2007, a jury found Dassey guilty of 1st Degree Intentional Homicide, Mutilating a Corpse, and 2nd Degree Sexual Assault/Use of Force. He was sentenced to life in prison with a chance at parole in 2048. One of the key elements of the prosecution’s case was a confession Dassey gave to detectives. Dassey’s current legal team and critics claim Dassey’s confession was coerced.
Dassey was 16 at the time of the killing of Teresa Halbach. His attorneys argue investigators used improper techniques while interrogating a juvenile with a low IQ. They say investigators made false promises to Dassey that he’d be released if he told them about the killing.
Dassey attorney Steven Drizin says the Dassey confession tapes show evidence of police coercion that included “tactics that can be toxic and can produce false confessions.”
“They pounded him with a steady drum beat of promises of leniency, saying he had nothing to worry about, everything was going to be OK, it was going to be alright. They’d stand by him, they’d be in his corner, they’d go to bat for him, they weren’t going to leave him high and dry,” says Drizin. “They lied over and over again about evidence, telling Brendan they already knew what happened when in fact they didn’t.”
No physical evidence tied Dassey to the murder. Dassey’s attorneys believe he falsely confessed to being part of the crime.
“Not a single piece of evidence tied Brendan to this crime. No DNA, no blood, no hair, no fingerprints, nothing. Not in the [Teresa Halbach’s] RAV 4, not in the [Steven Avery’s] trailer, not in the garage, not in the burn pit, nowhere,” says Drizin. “True confessors don’t need help with their narratives.”
Dassey was nearly released from prison after a federal magistrate overturned his conviction in August 2016. Judge William E. Duffin said repeated false promises by detectives, when considered with other factors like Dassey’s age, intellectual deficits and the absence of a supportive adult, led him to determine that Dassey’s confession was involuntary under the U.S. Constitution.
The state appealed the federal judge’s ruling. Eventually, the case landed at the highest court in the land–the United States Supreme Court. The justices declined to hear Dassey’s argument.
Dassey is currently serving his life sentence at Oshkosh Correctional Institution.
In April, Dassey sent a letter to Gov. Evers asking to go home. CLICK HERE to read the Dassey letter.
“I am writing to ask for a pardon because I am innocent and want to go home. If I would get to go home, I would like to get a job involving video games. I would like to help take care of my mom and one day have a son and a daughter of my own,” Dassey writes. “I would name my daughter Grace and my son Mizar which is the name of a star in the big dipper.”
More than 200 advocates signed a letter to Gov. Evers asking him to grant clemency to Dassey. The list of names included retired U.S. Government officials, state and federal prosecutors, legal advocates, psychological experts and exonerees. Notable supporter are Innocence Project co-founder Barry Scheck and Sister Helen Prejean. The anti-death penalty advocate’s story is the focus of the movie “Dead Man Walking.”
National advocates for people with disabilities also wrote to Gov. Evers in support of clemency for Dassey.
Dassey has also received high-profile support from prison reform advocate Kim Kardashian West.
Dassey’s uncle, Steven Avery, was also convicted of 1st Degree Intentional Homicide in the Halbach murder. He continues to appeal his conviction.
In October, Avery attorney Kathleen Zellner filed a 32,241-word brief asking the Wisconsin Appeals court to grant Avery a new trial or evidentiary hearing.
The state has until February 11, 2020, to submit its response.
Zellner tweeted, “Sad news!” in response to the letter to Dassey regarding his pardon.
