This is a very big reason why I carry everywhere:
"Jeremy Murrell – black, age 23 Sentenced to death in Winston-Salem, North Carolina
By: A jury
Date of crime: August 2003
Prosecution’s case/defense response: Lawrence Harding was kidnapped from the restaurant where he worked, robbed of $100, and shot twice. His body was found in the trunk of his car eight days later in Virginia. Murell was turned in by three of his Winston-Salem State University classmates after he bragged about the crime. The defense focused on Murrell’s troublesome childhood with a schizophrenic mother and a mentally unstable father.
Prosecutor(s): Jennifer Martin
Defense lawyer(s): Kevin Mauney
Sources: Associated Press 2/8/06, 2/18/06; Charlotte Observer 2/19/06"
My cousin is the one that was kidnapped and murdered. I wasn't old enough to carry back then, but it got me to start carrying once I was old enough. He would probably be alive right now if he had been carrying.
