While we’re on the “what the hell is the matter with people?” meme — this is one of the most sickening things I’ve read in quite sometime:
TYLER, Texas — A jury again needed just four minutes Thursday to convict an organizer of an East Texas swinger’s club where prosecutors say young children were forced to perform sexual acts for an audience.
Shauntel Mayo, 29, was then sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty on charges that she forced three siblings, ages 7 through 10, to have sex with each other or perform sexual acts for club members who paid to watch.
In March, Mayo’s 36-year-old boyfriend, Jamie Pittman, was also found guilty in four minutes and then sentenced to life in prison after just two minutes of deliberations.
Some jurors cried during testimony in Mayo’s three-day trial, the Tyler Morning-Telegraph reported.
Mayo, of Tyler, was convicted of engaging in organized criminal activity and two counts of sexual performance of a child. Jurors deliberated six minutes in the punishment phase, and state District Judge Jack Skeen Jr. ordered that Mayo serve a minimum of 25 years before becoming eligible for parole.
During the trial, the children testified how Mayo and other defendants began teaching them at age 5 how to dance and perform sex acts. They were also given drugs, which the adults called “silly pills,” to help them perform.
Just like the last post about the two idiots smoking dope out of the skull of a corpse that they dug up from the cemetery, the answer to “what the hell is the matter with these people?” boils down to this: drugs.
The story doesn’t say — but it begs the question: where the hell are the parents?
Crimes like this are why the death penalty should be expanded to include crimes other than capital murder.
What a bunch of sick and twisted people.
I wish it had said life without the possibility of parole.
