Makes me think twice about my next door neighbor who hates me for ruining his view when I built my house on my own 26 acres of land…land that I owned long before the subdivision he lives in was even developed. Fortunately, he doesn’t have a pit bull.

what gives you the right to call Joshua a “wannabe”
“I hope he never spends another day of his life outside of prison, and that his time inside is torturously difficult.”…there have been plenty of other people who have murdered, raped,… you know the rest… why would you wish that upon someone? that his time would be “tourtorusly difficult”. How would you feel if Joshua was some one you knew? What would you wish upon their time then?

If someone I knew stabbed to death two old ladies — for any reason — they’d be dead to me. And I’d hope they die a lonely death behind prison walls.

What do you think should happen to your friend Joshua for murdering two old ladies because they complained about his little doggie? Do you think the judge should just tell him “not to do it again”, give him a few hours of community service, and then send Josh back out onto the streets?

Your buddy is a cold blooded murderer. If you’re still defending him or don’t think he deserves the harshest penalties our society has, then you’re quite likely little more than a thug yourself.

LOL! WHAT?!? IM A THUG? JUST BECAUSE I AM DEFENDING MY FRIEND DOESNT MEAN IM A THUG!!! IM THE FATHEST THING FROM A THUG. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME, OR JOSH TO JUDGE EITHER ONE OF US. I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM DONT GET ME WRONG. YES I KNOW JOSH SHOULD BE PUNISHED, BUT MY POINT IS, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIM MURDERING THOSE LADIES. (no disrespect) AND OTHER PEOPLE MURDERING CHILDREN AND OTHER WOMEN. -WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE- I KNOW HIM AND HONESTLY SOMETHING DOESNT SEEM RIGHT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. I DONT KNOW WHAT THEY SHOULD DO. I DONT WANT HIM TO GET OFF EASY EITHER, I AGREE HE SHOULD BE PUNISHED. AND NO I DONT WANT THE JUDGE TO SAY THAT EITHER, THAT, HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. YOU KNOW WHAT? – I GUESS YOU WILL NEVER KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO HEAR ON THE NEWS THAT ONE OF YOUR GOOD FRIENDS STABBED TWO OLD LADIES TO DEATH. THAT HURTS. IT REALLY DOES, YOU FEEL FOR THE WOMENS FAMILIES AND YOU FEEL FOR YOUR FRIENDS FAMILY, ITS A COMPLICATED FEELING.

You seem rather naive. Your friend may be a juvenile and therefore ineligible for the death penalty, however he will still be tried and sentenced as an adult — meaning life without the possibility of parole.

He stabbed two old women to death, that tells me all the hell I need to know about him. Over a fucking dog, no less. And the stupid thing about it is, it was all because the two women didn’t want the dog in their yard. How many people want a pit bull roaming in their neighborhoods. All he had to do was keep the damn thing tied up, or leashed to a tree, a porch, surely he could have found some way to tie it up. If not, he didn’t need to have it.

Pit bulls, incidentally, in my expeience are not all necessarilly bad dogs. I’ve known a couple of people that have them, and they both were actually friendly, even loving, dogs. That leads me to believe that the ones that are dangerous, and violent, have been made that way, purposely.

They are naturally dangerous, though, in certain situations, and that’s why they are so easily turned bad.

But there is no animal that is as bad, or as dangerous, or more deserving to be “put down” as your demented friend, lady. I only wish I could pull the switch my damn self.

-life without the possibility of parole is better than the death penalty. at least now josh has the opportunity to ask the Lord for forgiveness. a lot of people who go to jail, end up finding the Lord and actually being saved, putting what they did in the past behind them. and the Lord does so as well. so in a way im glad he is in jail.

-when did you hear that the dog was violent to begin with? the news just said that he got in to an argument over the dog, that happened to be a pitbull….and i dont know where you live sir, but in this neighborhood where i and josh are from, its not uncommon to see a pitbull “roaming the streets”. it seems you wasted your time talking about how dangerous pitbulls are. that is irrelivant to what happened.and how do you or anyone for that matter really know what happened that day? or what really caused josh to kill them? no one knows except for the two ladies and josh. so in other words, no one knows but josh. -if you were to “pull the switch” what would be the difference between you being a murderer and josh being a murderer?

Oh yeah, Vanessa, I’m sure if the truth were known, Josh probably had a very good and valid reason to kill these two old ladies in their own home. Who knows, they might have given him some shitty looks, or called him hurtful names. My apologies. I should be ashamed of myself for wanting to partake of the execution of a worthless, no good, two bit motherufcking punk like that, he probably can’t help it that he’s not worth the expense of the voltage it would take to fry his sorry punk ass.

Josh is a kid that should have received help for his anger issues a VERY long time ago. I believe that he was completely aware of what he was doing and that it was a heinous act…but my experience with this child is that he was in need of help. He displayed various behaviors that should have warranted more attention LONG before his behavior grew into this atrocious monster. I pray for the family of the two women who were brutally murdered and I also pray for Josh. It breaks my heart to see lives go down the drain senselessly.

Sickened, I couldn’t agree more with everything you wrote. This was senseless, and it’s tragically sad for everybody involved.

I would like to commend Vanessa for speaking up for Josh. I just want to set the record straight. First of all, Josh has not been convicted of any crime, and unless you are part of the jury, the judge, or God you have no idea what he “confessed” to. You are all very quick to judge and accept what the reporters state as true fact, but you know nothing. Because of his size, age, and the dog he owned, you want to label him as a delinquent, but for those of us who know Josh, he is a giant teddy bear. He loves, he cries, he bleeds, just as you do. He is still a child. Once the evidence becomes public, you might all be surprised as to what really happened that day. We all hurt for the family of the ladies who were murdered. There is no reason in the world why anyone should take the life of another person. Believe me, in October, my cousin was stabbed to death by her husband and dragged around for two hours as a human shield in her place of employment like a piece of trash, so I know the pain of the family members of the ladies who were killed. I pray for them, and I pray for truth which is what you all should be looking for instead of condemning a person you have never met.

THANK YOU ANGEL… FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT I’M TRYING TO SAY… THE MEDIA FLIPPED THINGS AROUND SOOOO MUCH… IT WAS… FLAT OUT UNBELIEVEABLE. THEY SAID THAT ON HIS MY SPACE PAGE THERE WAS THINGS SAYING THAT HE WAS “INTO THE DISPOSAL OF DEAD BODIES” AND SOMETHING ABOUT STABBING PEOPLE… WHEN REALLY JOSH HASNT BEEN ON HIS PAGE SINCE LAST MARCH OR APRIL. AND ONE OF HIS FRIENDS SENT HIM A CHAIN COMMENT SAYING HE HAS HIS BACK … IF HE KILLS SOME ONE HE WILL BE THERE TO HOLD OPEN A BAG, …IF HE STABBED SOMEONE HE’D BE THERE TO CLEAN THE KNIFE. I FORGOT WHAT EXACTLY IT SAID BUT, I’LL COPY ITAND POST IT LATER. AND I COULDNT AGREE MORE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAID. I STILL CONSIDER JOSH ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS… BUT I AM ALSO SORRY FOR THE FAMILY OF THE VICTIMS. ” i love you josh! and dont worry God has a plan for us all and a reason for everything, may the angels watch over you while you are in jail and may you and your family be safe. i love you! -love always your friend, vanessa”
-SINCERELY, VANESSA.

Once the evidence becomes public, you might all be surprised as to what really happened that day.

Nah. We’ve seen and heard it all ad nauseum. Even his friend — “vanessa” believes he stabbed those two women to death.

No. its not really that i believe he stabbed those women, i honestly dont know. it really doesnt seem like him to do that. there are probably hundreds of teenagers that say stupid things like what one kid said that josh would say “im bringing the hood to kingwood.” (houston chron.) teens say the stupidest things at school and know they dont mean anything by it. i remember in ninth grade, we had geography together, and he was the one in that class that would always say something funny, to start off the class, and he would make everyone laugh and break the ice for that period. dont get me wrong, he had his days when he wasnt in a good mood. josh went through so much with his family. he loves his family so much, with the drama going on at home, then coming to school and dealing with all the stress at school too… josh was so strong. he tried his best to keep it together and not let all of the drama effect him. we had this project we had to do, i think it was for a final, about Italy and we had to present in front of people and teachers we didnt know… it was so funny, i was the one who freaked out and he had my back. when i didnt know what to say he was there. the whole media thing and that guy saying blah blah blah about josh being a wannabe and that he hopes his time is tourturously difficult, that really upset me because just like the celebraties, people snap pictures of them all the time flip things around and basically make up lies… this “guy” that says all of this about josh knows nothing about him and neither does the media. its unfair that he says those things about him. josh has no way of sticking up for himself so i did it for him. the media says that he confessed but in reality no one not even me, knows what he did, how he did it or even if he did only God knows that. – do you know what i mean?
– “unless you are part of the jury, the judge, or God you have no idea what he “confessed” to. You are all very quick to judge and accept what the reporters state as true fact, but you know nothing. Because of his size, age, and the dog he owned, you want to label him as a delinquent, but for those of us who know Josh, he is a giant teddy bear. He loves, he cries, he bleeds, just as you do.”-

i dont know if he did anything and i am really hoping and praying that he didnt but IF he did, when he gets his punishment, we all know that he will not get any slack. we take everything the media has to say about stories to be the truth, we forget that sometimes they make things up for their “ratings” and what not. those people have a job too and they aren’t always the most truthful people in the world.

No. its not really that i believe he stabbed those women, i honestly dont know.

Then let me quote your own words back to you, caps and all:

I GUESS YOU WILL NEVER KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO HEAR ON THE NEWS THAT ONE OF YOUR GOOD FRIENDS STABBED TWO OLD LADIES TO DEATH.

YES I KNOW JOSH SHOULD BE PUNISHED.

I DONT WANT HIM TO GET OFF EASY EITHER, I AGREE HE SHOULD BE PUNISHED.

Because of his size, age, and the dog he owned, you want to label him as a delinquent, …..

No, because he blungeoned two elderly women to death, I want to label him a multiple murderer.

we take everything the media has to say about stories to be the truth, we forget that sometimes they make things up for their “ratings” and what not.

You really think the “media” made this up for their “ratings”? You think josh is so fascinating that they made things up to sell – what? — an extra two papers?? Get real.

He had motive. He had opportunity. He had the ability. He bragged about stealing their car which was taken at the time of the murders. And whether you want to believe it or not, he confessed to the police.

Talk about flipping things around! You go on and on about what a wonderful guy he is, but the bottomline is that nice guys don’t murder defenseless elderly women. Your friend’s life is over.

Vanessa have you went to go see him I know he would like to see you

if most of yall don’t know anything about him and think yall are all big and bad because yall can talk trash then whats the point of even saying shit about my bro

YEAH, I DONT KNOW IF YOU ALL HAVE HEARD BUT HE DIDNT DO IT. HE CONFESSED THAT HE WAS COVERING FOR HIS FRIEND…. HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?!!? AND NO “SOMEONE” I HAVENT GONE TO SEE HIM… BUT HOPEFULLY I AM SOON.

Right. Who wouldn’t confess to a brutal double homicide for a friend. lol!

well at least things got straightened out. yeah he covered for a friend but now everythings straight.

well at least things got straightened out. yeah he covered for a friend but now everythings straight.

Bwaaaahhh!!!

So, is Joshua still in jail? Is he out on bail? Or has he been released and all charges dropped?

I can’t find a site or a link stating that Joshua has changed his confession, or that Police have arrersted someone else in this case (whomever you’re claiming Joshua was covering for).

you really must not have a life if you stay looking stuff up all day. and just to let you know.. . i am friends with his family and they told me.

So, he’s still in jail then? With all charges still being brought against him? And nobody else has been arrested based on Joshua’s second “confession”?

No actually, the other boy has been brought in. And about the charges, most of them have been dropped… I dont want to say all because i dont know every detail. And yes he is still in jail.

And about the charges, most of them have been dropped…

Uh, no they haven’t. None of them have been dropped. No one else has been arrested and charged.

thats what his family said.. not the exact words but more or less… things got staightened out.

His family doesn’t have a clue.

Let me set you straight on one thing….NOT ALL PIT BULLS ARE DANGEROUS! This is clearly a story on a very disturbed young man. This is not a story on a dog biting another person. In almost every case of a pit bull biting another person, the always fail to mention that the dog is half pit bull. I have 3 pit bulls of my own that I have raised since they were babies. We found one, adopted one from the SPCA (who survived parvo at 2 mos old) and bought another (after someone no longer wanted her b/c of mange). All my dogs are loving and playful. I absolutely adore my dogs, as does my 8 yr old daughter. It disturbs me to read that you think all Pit Bull owners own the dogs for the wrong reasons. I never went out looking for pit bulls, it just happened that way. God brought them to me for a reason. I fell in love w/the dog not the breed. Get your facts straight before you characterize anyone! How ignorant can you be!

the pit bulls name is dolly okay and she is the most friendlest dog alive she acts just like a big puppy never bit or fought with an animal or person she loves her cat friend she lets the cat ride her at times and they play with each other not all dogs are mean.THAT INCLUDES PITT BULLS!

i heard wrong. sorry that other boy hasnt been brought in. but i talked to josh today, and you know what? forget you all. “robbie” if i’m not mistaken youre the one who posted this to begin with. -forget you! you dont know josh. you werent there when everything happened. you can talk trash all you want. but bottom line, YOU DONT KNOW HIM. you dont know if he really did it. you dont know why he confessed he did it. you know nothing about him.

Until the whole stroy is out! Noone know what how. Just remember what you put in here other’s read and can use it for and against him.

Since you seem to think you know so much. What makes you think they don’t know. You don’t know anything , your just trying to start mess and make him look bad like the T.V. stations are. (His family doesn’t have a clue) I thing you don’t have a clue. You just wish you did.

Sickened, so am I understanding that you know him and his family?
If so why don’t you let us know a little more about him?

Nobody has to know him. He confessed to the murders of his two elderly neighbors and then stole their car. Somebody with good sense (obviously none of you) tipped off the police and he was arrested going back to the car. You do yourselves, nor your friend, no good by continuing to deny his guilt.

Let me tell you something Vanessa. The “other” boy he tried to blame it on, was one of his friends. Well, guess what? His friend was locked up on December 13, 2006. ( The day of the murders.) There was no way he did it! I don’t know if Josh did it or not. I do know that the person he tried saying did it, DIDN’T DO IT! Now, from my point of view, it sure does make him look guilty, if the person he’s blaming it on, had no way of doing it. And, that was his friend! Now that is pretty screwed up. It really is true, you know the saying, “Choose your friends wisely.” If he didn’t do it, why blame someone esle that didn’t do it? Grow up! This is the United States of America! There’s consequences you have to pay. I think of their families that had to find them dead and never see them again! But, they are in a better place. I think of Josh’s family that can only see him behind bars for the rest of their lives. My heart goes out to both, the ladies and Josh’s families. And, I think of the “other boy” who couldv’e spent his life in a jail cell for something Josh blamed on him that he didn’t do. And I think of the “other boy’s” family, who couldv’e suffered for nothing. I believe, Everything happens for a reason. But I’m having a hard time figuring this one out!

that guy is NOT locked up. one of my friends is really cool with “that other person” i hear from him all the time saying he did this and that with “that person” over the weekend. so whatever. obviously you need to check your sources.

i cant help but to come back and back to this website…
i miss josh so much…
but i have a question for “SOMEONEHURT”.
-if you seem to know so much about “this person” please tell me how do you know “he” was locked up the day everything happened… -

Look here Vanessa, “the other boy”, is my brother. I don’t know what they did on their weekends, but I know that “my brother” was locked up on that day. He’s not locked up now. So, think about it. Josh is just telling you that he didn’t do it, for whatever reasons. But, I know what he told investigators, you don’t. We talked to them ourselves. So, maybe you need to check your sources. What kind of friend lies to their friend? And blames something on their friend? I don’t feel sorry for him one bit! Anymore questions, feel free to ask.

lmao at the idiots defending this trash…. get back to me when some ugly pathetic loser comes into your home and kills your mom and grandma

You’re a sweet girl Vanessa… this kid doesn’t deserve your sympathy

You killed some old people, you should get the death penalty. Later punk.

death penalty is the only way for this nob cheese.
i hope he rots in jail. or gets hung.

These fucking liberals make me sick. I hope this Josh kid gets the death penalty and his athiest ass gets sent to hell. LOL at him! Fucking liberals, when will they learn that it’s religon that has all the scientific facts and logical reasoning behind it.

This kid needs to fucking burn.

I fail to see the link between “murderer” and “pit-bull-owner”. It’s unfair, and unfortunate that people instantly judge pitbull owners just because they’re the current breed the media likes to bash. For awhile it was dobermans, then german shepards, then rotties…get over it already. Pit bulls bite and injure human beings less than labs, the American golden child of the dog world. Where was the media when a woman’s face was eaten by her lab? And how about the Chow’s, who notoriously bite children for no reason whatsoever.

I happen to own a pitbull and a boxer. Both of my dogs are amazing, love people, are never chained, have free run of the yard and house. They’re clean, don’t chew furniture, and wouldn’t think twice about biting my children. I assure you, my family does not fit your “thug” image, nor do any of the families with whom I associate who also own pitbulls.

“But, I know what he told investigators, you don’t.”

how do you know what he told the investigators?
-were you there with him when they were “investigating”
uh… no i dont think so.
did josh come out and tell you himself what he told the investigators? i dont think so. so theres no possible way you know the truth… you might think you do but you dont. you heard things around the neighborhood. or from your so called “brother”. which is bull. because if your so called “brother” told you what he said, theres a possibility that your “brother” told you what he thought josh told the investigators.
you must know josh real well huh?
you must know him a lot better than i do. Right?
ha ha… so tell me what else you know about josh… what makes you think he did it, besides the fact that he “confessed” or despite the fact that you talked to the investigators ya’lls self.

Here’s some food for thought: What could cause a 17 year old male who weighs over 250 pounds to feel so threatened by two women aged 53 and 83 that he felt it necessary to kill them with a kitchen knife he was carrying for “protection,” take their car (later claiming he “borrowed” it when he was caught with it), and then confess to the police that he killed them “in self-defense”? Also, think about his weapon of choice – a knife – and just how up close and personal using a knife is when compared to using a gun. If Josh was so threatened and scared of these two old women, why didn’t he run home (which was next door) and call the police? What I’d really love to know is why did he feel it was necessary to take matters to this level and end the lives of two people.

i knew josh personally, i am also 17 and he was in some of my classes last year at kingwood high school. i could tell he was a “bad” kid as he was usually off campus at “AC” (alternate campus or w/e) but i never could have saw him stabbing two people in cold blood. he didnt have many friends mainly because kingwood high is a prodomitaly white and normal school and he was a “gangster” hispanic. josh liked me quite a bit because im more on the normal side and play football and baseball for khs as apposed to the “weirder” kids in are class. even though we were some what friends i would 100% back the death penalty in this case (if law permitted as he was only 17 at the time of the murders) …. just adding my 2 cents.

VANESSA!!!!!!!!!!

hey this is the (boy that got accused) girlfriend…..OKAY TELL ME HOW THE HELL MY BOYFRIEND DID IT IF MY BOYFRIEND WAS LOCKED UP ON DEC.13 , WITH NO WEEKEND RELEASES ,WHEN THE MURDER HAPPENED.,. ….SO TELL ME HOW IN THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN….TELL ME THAT SINCE YOUR SO FUCKEND SMART…HOW WAS HE THERE AND HOW THE HELL DID HE DO IT…OR HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT?????? DUMB ASS!!!

SO WHAT I GUESS YOU WERE WITH THE INVESTIGATORS WHEN JOSH TALKED TO HIM…..AND MY BOYFRIEND’S FAMILY TALKED TO THE INVESTIGATORS CAUSE THEY CAME TO HIS HOUSE AND WAS LOOKING FOR HIM…BUT GOOD THING THAT HE WAS IN BOOTCAMP…SHIT BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE GOT CAUGHT UP IN SOME BULLSHIT…BECAUSE YOUR DUMB ASS FRIEND JOSH WANTED TO BLAME HIM!!!!!!!!!!

I BET YOUR FRIEND JOSH FELT REALLY STUPID SINCE HE COULDNT BLAME IT ON MY BOYFRIEND!!! YEAH SO KEEP TALKING…I KNOW YOU ARE TRYING TO STICK UP FOR YOUR FRIEND JOSH ,BUT IT WASN’T MY BOYFRIEND….CAUSE LIKE I SAID ” HE WAS LOCKED UP”…..THATS WHY THE INVESTIGATORS LEFT IT ALONE,…WHEN THEY FIRST FOUND OUT MY BOYFRIEND WAS LOCKED UP!…..SO SMART ASS EXPALIN THAT….!!!!!

AND YEAH THEY KNEW JOSH ALOT CAUSE HE USED TO CHILL WITH HIM ALOT BACK IN THE DAY…SO WHAT NOW…IF YOU KNEW SO MUCH ABOUT YOUR FRIEND JOSH….YOU PROBALY SHOULD HAVE KNOW HE WAS SUCH A PYSCHO TO KILL A 53 AND 83 YR OLD…SO YEAH….YOU NEED TO GET OFF THAT NIGGAS DICK ALREADY…YOU AINT NEVER GONNA SEE IT AGAIN SO GET OVER IT…GOSH YOU FREAKEN IDIOT!!!

Look here Vanessa. This is “the other boys” sister again.

I don’t know what josh told the investigators. But I know what the investigators told my family.

Don’t you watch television? They can’t prosecute someone without a murder weapon, a witness, or actual proof.

Face it Vanessa, Josh admitted to it. Even told them the whole story. And, never showed any remorse. And they have a witness that said they saw him drive off in their car.

What don’t you understand? The investigators came to our house. My brother was locked up at the time. We talked to the investigators ourselves! Now I remember Josh as a wannabe gangster, but never stupid enough to take the rap for anyone!

Now as far as my brother, I’m starting to think we’re not talking about the same person. What does his name start with? If Josh even told you! Maybe he accused more than one person. Or maybe he’s lying to you about that too.

“What I know about Josh?”

Josh was the kid that stole from his own parents. Josh was the kid that would hit someone if they looked at him wrong. Josh was the kid that lied to his girlfriend to get what he wanted. Josh was the kid that would say and do anything for a laugh.

Josh was the kid that killed two ladies with no remorse. Josh is the kid that will spend 40 years to life in prison. So tell me something I don’t know!

That’s all i need to know!

I feel sorry for you because you believe every word he tells you. So when you go see him, I pray, you see right through him. If you don’t, you’re only as stupid as he is!

The Houston Chronicle really has no idea about breeds in general with a statement like the one I just read. Pitbulls in nature are a great breed of dog. Sweet and even tempered are what the real pitbull is and has been for about 150 years now. The only dog in history specifically bred to be non aggressive toward humans is the pitbull(look into it). It has recieved a bad rap from a few bad owners who think the pitbull is a tough, mean, ferocious beast when in actuality the good owners who raise these dogs with love and affection will tell you otherwise. Go to YouTube.com and look up “pitbulls”. All who don’t believe what I wrote will see the truth. The fact that this guy was a murderer and owned a pitbull was sad because its this type of thing that bolsters the stereotypes. Sad.

SOMEONE HURT
The sad that about what you said it that you don’t know Joshua at all your only going by what someone told you and you don’t know if it’s true. Joshua would never go up and hit someone just because they looked at him wrong, and as far as the stealing goes again you are just listening to someone you don’t even know what went on day to day.
The boy that he has accused was not in jail on the day of the murder maybe you need to check on who’s telling you what. Joshua didn’t hang out with a lot of white kids only the boy that did this.

This is for the “Someone” who left the last message.

What??? exactly are you trying to say? Your message is about as clear as the water that flows in Buffalo Bayou! And do you have any clue as to what really happened? If so, perhaps the police would like to talk to you, too. Trial begins in September so let’s wait and see what the jury decides when they are presented with the facts and evidence surrounding this case. So until that time, do yourself a favor – try to keep from making illiterate and ill-informed comments.

Well I don’t want to get intangled in the major issue about who,did something, and so forth. I don’t want to get tied into that and have people constintantly stressing out over it. But what I do want to say, is yes, there are people out there who are good people who love the putt bull breed, who want and own pitt bulls because they can be breed out of that aggressive nature. I know this because for many years of my life, I bred pure breed red nose pitt bulls. However, just because my dogs got out alot, people were affraid that they would attack other people. THAT IS A LOAD OF STEAMING DOG SHIT!!! I know for sure, and many people say that they could have been aggressive, but I knew my dogs weren’t and my neighbors as knew as well that my dogs were not in the least bit aggressive. In one case one of my dogs got out and he was big, but he was only 6 months of age. A fellow dog owner threw a BRICK at his head just when he just came up to sniff a smaller dog, who actually ended up attacking mine. But the one thing that pisses me off the most……..The main reason why I still cry my heart out and HATE animal controle in my city to this day…….Is when the falsely accussed my eldest female pitt of being a viscious dog. After she got out one time along with another dog of mine, they accused her of killing four cats in one night. I had and still have evidence to prove that she was innocent, because she was getting so old that she had a sever case of arthiritis in all joints she needed help getting up, occasionally when she ate her gums would bleed because her teeth were so worn down. But no…………after a 72 hour waiting period……………they put to sleep a family member………….who I grew up with since I was a toddler……..She loved life with everyone and everything…….YET HUMANS WHO ARE IGNORANT ACCUSED MY LOVED BEST FRIEND IN MY LIFE TO DEATH!!!!!!!!! It’s been five……long……..and very painful years living my life without her………And I still go through my house expecting her to come up to me just to pet her…………Her name was Sweetie………..Now a days for her sake and even humans………Fighting…..hatred…..anger……killing……and all of the things we wish never even came to exsist…………Should end……….By gods words……no……. by my own……….It doesn’t matter who you are, what you are, or where you are……….Give peace, help, and forgive……no matter what you or anyone else did. Help them change help things change on this planet which everyone keeps on killing. The constant victim of every crime…….Is this planet and everything on it. That is about the only way I shall get involved with what is going on. I just hope that everyone finds peace. Because once we die, we’ll realise, that all of this fighting is not apart of us. I felt sadend once I read what happend, however you must understand all aspects of everything intied to the situation. I may not fully understand what has happend or why he did what he did, but to a degree I can. I hop-e things will be solved soon, so people and everything can start to heal.

Now that I read back on this………I did almost exactly opposite on what I said I was going to do. Please forgive me if I have offended anyone in any way.

I check back on this story occasionally because I was so impacted by what occurred. I am one of those who know Josh and will probably never fully forget him, regardless of the hole they inevitably throw him into.

As you all debate over who did what and when, be aware that this is a fate Josh was on a collision coarse with…at least…from the time I met him. He is one of those youths that had too many demons for his age and was more man than boy physically; allowing him to throw his size and strength around unnecessarily. Josh needed larger, smarter influences in his life to keep him line. He always responded respectfully and accordingly to correction, but would revert to bullying and intimidation when unsupervised. I certainly can’t blame his parents, as I don’t know the full story, but I met his folks once and they seemed like good, caring people. They were the first ones I thought of when I heard of his involvement in this horrid event. God help them. But know also that Josh is bright and aware of his actions. He made this decision knowing full well the ramifications…but as always…he was more focused on being dominant, feared and, his mind, respected…exerting his power over others.

I’m a Christian and a hard-core conservative and I would absolutely demand the death penalty in this case if I didn’t know the suspect. But I do know him, and sadly, I still support the death penalty…but because I know him I am profoundly remorseful for taking that position. If truly you do speak with him Vanessa, tell him that I (and others I’m sure) will pray for his soul, though he must pay the penalty for his actions. Tell him that God has a purpose for each of us, no matter how unclear, and that he might find peace if he only looks to Him. You can also tell him that I will always question what else I might have said to him that might have kept him from taking those two lives…and his own for that matter…that day. I will always evaluate a little harder the possible impact I could have on another person before letting the relationship fade away.

And for those of you who have read though this entire post; anxiously awaiting me to finish so that you can lash out at me about the innocent victims… don’t. I feel exactly as you do. This was heinous and deserves severe and brutal punishment. But…you cannot understand the remorse you would feel if you knew that you could (just maybe) have tried harder to have an impact, which might have saved those innocent lives. Nor would you, unless you are a Chrisian, know the sadness of thinking that that person, whom you could have influenced, now faces enternal seperation and damnation.

God bless the victim’s families. God bless the Juarez family. And God’s mercy to Josh. Men will not and should not show mercy on him…perhaps the Lord will.

Since, he was under the age of 18 when he committed the murders, he is looking at life without the possibility of parole — not death.

http://www.hro.house.state.tx.us/focus/juvenile.pdf

it was a capital crime he can receive death..

No, the max possible penalty would be life without the possbility of parole. You linked to a 2002 report. In 2005, the law was changed:

The USSC held in Roper v. Simmons (2005) 543 U.S. 551, that the death penalty for those who were under the age of 18 years at the time of the commission of the crime is unconstitutional.

While I can’t fully say that I would want to see Josh receive the death penalty (being that I know him and it’s difficult to want that for anyone you know), I do think that the court ruling you sited is irresponsible because it obviously doesn’t take into account the power, anger and means that a boy of 17, like Josh, has at his disposal. Those women NEVER stood a chance once Josh committed himself to this act. They were as helpless as lambs in a slaughterhouse. Because of the intimate nature (proximity he had to obtain to kill), brutality and meekness of the victims of this crime…I think the death penalty is completely justifiable regardless of Josh’s age.

say everybody of houston texas that no’s joshua ray juarez i no something that yall don’t no about him he didn’t do it josh was a good person, he took the fall for his homeboy because josh said that he is not no snich that’s why. free josh from jail

Well written. Well said. Who could argue?

Just wanted to know if everyone knows that the trial has been POSTPONED until November.
If Josh isn’t a snitch, then why did he accuse someone that didn’t do it. I don’t even know what that’s called. False witnessing? A LIER? You tell me Paul!
And if I’m not mistaken, didn’t Josh go to Kingwood High School? Isn’t that mostly white people?
And Iv’e told you before, no one has given me this information. Josh used to come to our house all the time.
And if you say he wouldn’t hit someone for any reason, then you must not know him that well. Or maybe he changed? Ha Ha!
There’s no reason to keep expressing what I know if your not going to believe me. So, keep on thinking what you think you know.
God Bless These Families! I believe in people changing, but in this case it was just a little too late.

I just hope they fry the motherfucker. Failing that, I hope someone else inthe prison shivs his ass, after he’s brutally cornholed for a few years.

vanessa you have alot of growing up to do. I know, I’ve been there. The best thing for you to do is move on and better your life. Bottom line; there is no threat to a guy thats 6′feet tall and stocky, from a 53 and 83 year old woman. He murdered two old women. It sucks that my tax dollars will be feeding, clothing, and housing this guy. To all the friends that are supporting this guy, I get it, “friends till the end and shit”. Believe me you will or hopefully will see it through nonpartison eyes one day. The parents of this guy should be looked at (the boat is only as strong as its captain). How was he raised? What is happening to this country? America seems to be going down the drain. The people of this country seem so fucking ignorant. Our youths seem to be getting worse off as years pass. Please vanessa stop crying for this guy, you’re looking like a girl that doesn’t get much. Everything about this guy has implied that he thinks he’s a hard thug, this dude and guys with this gangsta metality are the most weak minded people around. There is no great struggle in there lives. If they were in some third world country you would see these guys crying and I mean CRYING for there mommies. Its people that get caught up in the fucking manipulating media and worry only about being cool. They lose sight of the fact they have every oppotunity at there finger tips and they ignore and ignore. This dude not only ruined his life but took two old women with him, what a piece of shit. Its young guys like that we should keep our eyes on because they feel they have something to prove. If that was my mother and grandmother that were murdered by a “true KINGWOOD ghetto thug”, I would be in jail for first degree murder. Don’t post about how this guy was sweet and no one knows him, regardless of how he was before or after that day it only matters what his actions were on that day. Let the punishment fit the crime and add alittle too.

Just another little minded person thinking there big……..

Someone Hurt – Glad you made your comment:

“And if you say he wouldn’t hit someone for any reason, then you must not know him that well.” because that’s exactly right.

Josh does have a decent side, but Josh is consumed with the need to dominate and intimidate. These women probably just didn’t give Josh the “respect” he felt he deserved.

As for “Kingwood Ghetto Thugs”, they’re on the rise. Let’s just hope that Josh’s crew is still south west side…where he came from and not Kingwoodites.

haaa kinkwood thungs fuck that josh is a bitch b4 he gor locked up i had problems with him i could see right thru that and remeber he said he carried a knife for protection haa prtection from who…..think bout it ppl u dont need no protection in kingwood cuz thr reall thugs where after his punk ass

Josh had no reason to do what he did but we cant stop loving him for somthing he did I was the one he talked to right after he did this shit n all I can think was why josh how could you have done that but I didnt stop loving him someone murded my dad when I was 6 years old shot him to death 9 times Alexander Gaetano Parisi look it up but the guys that did it are gettin out next year you think that is justice they took someone special away from me n those guys get out so no I dont think josh deserves to spend the rest of his life in there yea he deserves to serve time but not life I love you Josh

Alexandra, you stated that Josh was the one he talked to after what happen, if so then you know he was covering for someone so his family want get hurt. If you really know him, then you know he would never hurt a women that he help out a lot when she needed it.

When is this piece of trash, Joshua Ray Juarez, going to trial? I can’t wait to see the look on his punk face when the judge throws him the slammer for life. Perhaps some pentitentiary killer will put a shank in his sick heart before the state tries to parole him.

Trial begins on Monday, December 10th.

FUCK ALL YALL PEOPLE THAT SAY JOSH DESERVES TO DIE THAT IS MY COUSIN AND JOSH WOULDNT HAVE DID IT FOR NO REASON AND YOU WERENT THERE WHEN JOSH GAVE HIS REAL STATEMENT I WAS SO FUCK OFF ASS HOLES JUST THINK IF YOUR PARENTS WERE IN HIS SITUATION YOU DONT KNOW

Hey, Dream (or should I say “Nightmare”?)

I guess in your world that 83 year old woman Josh stabbed to death deserved to die because she “threatened” lil 260+ lb, 6′+ tall Josh. What is wrong with you? In fact, what is wrong with teens today? Did your parents instill in you the misguided thinking that the world should revolve around YOU and what YOU want and think is right? Haven’t you ever heard “Thou Shall Not Kill?” Or maybe you think that command applies to everyone but YOU. You need to get real, kid, because the world isn’t going to tolerate punks like you. If you don’t straighten up and get your thinking straightened out, guess what? You’re going to end up with a dead-end life, just like Josh, thinking everyone owes you when you haven’t earned squat.

OK THERE IS ONE THING THAT I DISSAGREED WITH ON THIS STORY! THE COMMENT ABOUT ALL PIT BULL OWNERS HAVE TO BE THUGS AND THE IMMAGE BEING PORTRAYED IS NEGGATIVE IM SORRY BUT THAT IS ABSOLUTLEY WRONG! ITS NOT THE DOGS FAULT HE KILLED THOSE LADYS THE DOG DID NOT TAKE THE KNIFE AND STAB THEM THE MAN DID JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE MEDIA TRYING TO GIVE THESE DOGS A BAD NAME. U SHOULD DO RESEARCH BEFOR PUTTING SOME THNG LIKE THAT ON THE WEB. FOR THE IGGNORANT PEOPLE THAT NOW NOTHING ABOUT THE BREED LIKE THE LADY OR MAN WHO PUBLISHED THIS ARTICAL GO TO http://WWW.BADRAP.ORG

YOU WERENT THERE WHEN JOSH GAVE HIS REAL STATEMENT I WAS . . .

The chances you were present when he made his statements to the police are zero to none. You only make yourself look stupid when you tell such blatant lies.

SUPPOSEDLY, TRIAL ENDED TODAY. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW THAT TURNED OUT?

As I expected, the jury found this guy guilty and sentenced him to the maximum sentence he could have gotten – life! Which is more than he gave his two victims. Of course, his attorney appealed (don’t know on what grounds, though).

UNFOURTUNATLY THAT BOY GOT WHAT HE DESERVED.BUT THERE ARE ONLY TWO OTHERS YOU CAN BLAME,AND THAT IS MOM AND DAD,BECAUSE THE APPLE DON’T FALL TO FAR FROM THE TREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The blame is Josh’s. He was old enough to know better and to understand the consequences of HIS actions. Read your Bible – Almighty God does not condemn the parents for the actions of their offspring where he tells us at 2 Chronicles 25:4:

“And their sons he did not put to death, but [did] according to what is written in the law, in the book of Moses, that Jehovah commanded, saying: ‘Fathers should not die for sons, neither should sons themselves die for fathers; but it is each one for his own sin that they should die.’”

so nothing gives you the right to do otherwise.

Josh is a doushebag. I hope he gets assraped in jail and then murdered by another capital murder defendant serving life, that way that guys ass gets the deah penalty for killin Josh. Kill both em’ all.

IF I WAS THE PARENT OF THIS KID I WOULD HAVE TO ASK MY SELF IF ME AND MY WIFE DID EVRYTHING TO GUIDE HIM TO GO IN A DIFRENT DIRECTION IN LIFE OTHER THAN THE ONE HE TOOK. AND I CAN PROMISE YOU I BET THEY DIDNT AND I DOUBT THESE PARENTS EVER TALKED TO HIM ABOUT THE BIBLE BECAUSE HE WOULD NOT BE IN THE POSITION HIS IN NOW WOULD HE. AS A PARENT YOU HAVE TO TAKE TO HART WHAT YOU KIDS TURN OUT TO BE AS THEY GROW AND IF YOU CAN LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR AND THINK YOU DID GOOD YOU NEED TO GO SPEND LIFE IN PRISON WITH HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was friends with josh, we had a few classes together. he was funny, big and looked like a tough guy. i remember a few conversations about a certain man in his life was a “punk” bc he always put his hands on a certain women in his life, ironic. he knew he had his size and height to his advantage but he didnt start random fights with people..but as for wanting respect -yes thats true. josh was changing, he was trying to do good in school he just didnt care enough and was lazy so he decided working would be better for him and that was a sign that he life would go down hill. He was like a big teddy bear when u got to know him. yes josh’s home life wasnt easy but who’s is? eventhough he was sentenced, its still so hard 2 believe if u truly knew him. its was like “josh?..NO WAY!” its breaks my heart that he ruined his life like this. I have heard so many different stories on what happene dthat day and what people “snitched” on him and how he was innocent. if josh is guilty, as hard as it is for me to say–he deserves everything coming his way. I just hopethat he finds God and spend his time asking for frogiveness. I hope his sentence bring peace to the family of the victims. I love you josh.

Friend, you stated that you were Josh’s friend you sound like you knew him, I wanted to know why are you stoping your friendship with him, I think you know he didn’t do it .

I think you know he didn’t do it

His defense at trial was that he stabbed the two elderly women out of self-defense.

You weren’t at his trail you only know what someone told you or you read. Josh was a very helping person and always wanted to be around people and loved many people and would do anything for them and the sad thing is that he didn’t make the right friends, instead he picked friends that lied on him so they wouldn’t get in trouble, but there day is coming!!!

Who ever wrote this is a VERY ignorant person!!!!! So if you own a pitbull you are a thug??? ” Theres something about pitbull owners” ?? WHAT?!! I am FAR from a thug and I have a pitbull and its how you raise the dogs that determines how they will be so dont pass judgement so fast to say they are all vicious dogs. I guess if it were another kind of dog and it bit someone it would be ok because it was not a pitbull. As far as this guy he shouldnt have stabbed the neighboors i agree that was totally crazy. No one needs to say anything more. That is between him and his god. We had our neighboors complain one time ours got loose when we got home there were cops with guns out, my pit is the sweetest thing ever and is very freindly. I think people need to stop whinning about Pitbulls bc just like your joke of a poodle dog is here to stay so is the pitbull!!!!!!!!

You weren’t at his trail you only know what someone told you or you read.

He was convicted of two counts of first degree premeditated murder and sentence to life with out the possibility of parole. His life is over. He is never going to be released from prison. Get it? All because he wanted to live the thug life.

So if you own a pitbull you are a thug???

Yep. I have no doubt that the breed will soon be outlawed in this country.

I HOPE SOMEBODY PUTS A KNIFE IN HIS ASS NOW

I wish I’d have found this forum before. That was my Aunt and cousin that the wetback killed. Send his ass back where he came from and tell him to take all his friends with him, the whole country would be better off without them! My other cousin, (her mother and sister were the ones that were killed) also lived there in town and she said it was an ongoing thing in that neighborhood with that asshole and his dog.

Anonymous, it’s a shame that your own family lies to you, for one he’s not a wetback you dum ass, and if they knew the neghborhood they would have known that it’s wasn’t a puppy and that they didn’t have it for that long so how was it an ongoing thing. So many lies and still No ONE knows everything just what everybody wants to makeup.

All one needs to know is that he was convicted of two counts of first degree murder and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.

to someone:

you dont know shit. i have no idea how u can still defend Josh. What if he killed your grandma and aunt?? would YOU still defend a murderer?? You have no idea how much hurt and pain Josh has done to my family. and Josh DID plan on hurting someone, because a few days before it happened, he was outside in his yard screaming “I’M GONNA STAB THEM!” and for the other people on here saying that they believe Josh did it out of self defense, ARE YOU SERIOUS?? my grandma just got over having colon cancer you really think she intimidated him in ANY way?? and for all of you that pray for his family, you should have been there the day the cops picked him up, because his mom, dad AND sister were being so disrespectful and its almost like they were cheering him on.

AND ANOTHER THING. whoever said that it was normal to see pit bulls roaming the neighborhood is a damn lie. Kingwood has been trying to outlaw owning pitbulls for a long time now. NO ONE in kingwood likes pitbulls or owns pitbulls except for the mexicans who moved in.

I was one of Josh’s teachers & I’m sad to say that this story did not surprise me. I can remember having him in class & trying everything I knew to get him to cooperate, but to no avail. I’ve seen him “bow up” at teachers and try to stare them down and intimidate them. We had meetings with Josh’s father to try to get his child some help/counseling for his anger issues, only to be told that we were “picking on his boy.” I can’t imagine the pain his father must be feeling now, denial cost his son and 2 innocent women the ultimate price. A sad situation all the way around.

…and for the other people on here saying that they believe Josh did it out of self defense, ARE YOU SERIOUS??

People did not post that they believed he acted in self defense. One person — me, stated that HIS defense at trial was self defense. That was in the online court docket. It has nothing to do with anyones’ beliefs — just what he or his atty asserted was the defense at trial.

And I posted it to counter some of the comments that he didn’t do it and was set up. The bottom line is that he is admitting that he did do it but it was in self defense.
