Mentally ill man found guilty again after 35 years in prison

Success is not really about the amount of money you have.Strippers  earn as much as 150,000 naira weekly exposing their naked bodies in clubs.Also, some politicians steal public funds,and leave their people to suffer.The list of ungodly means of making money are endless.Can we say people who make lots of money by ungodly means are successful?The likes of Bill Gates and Aliko Dangote can never be poor simply because they have a solution to some of human problems.Bill Gate helps solve the problem of information technology. .Dangote helps solve the problem of getting some basic needs like salt,cement,flour,steel,oil and gas and real estate.I think success is fulfilling your destiny on earth,and achieving your vision.A lot of rich people today are not successful.What is your own definition of success???

NOW THE NEWS IN FULL.....

Aug 20th 2015, 05:55

A mentally ill Texas man imprisoned for more than 35 years despite his original murder conviction being overturned was found guilty a second time on Wednesday.
Jerry Hartfield, 59, was convicted of murder in the September 1976 slaying of 55-year-old Eunice Lowe, who sold tickets at the bus station in Bay City, Houston.
The sentencing phase will begin Thursday, the judge said. Prosecutors said Hartfield faces five to 99 years in prison or a life sentence, but said before the trial that he could be immediately eligible for parole because of time served. 
Jurors decided against a conviction of capital murder, which carried an automatic sentence of life in prison.
Neither the defense attorneys nor the prosecutors would comment on the verdict, though the two defense attorneys fist-bumped after the jurors were let out of the courtroom.
 
At a hearing last Friday, a psychologist testified Hartfield's IQ is 67, below the threshold of 70 considered mental impairment. 
 
Lisa Tanner, an assistant Texas attorney general assisting prosecutors, told jurors that Hartfield 'butchered' Lowe 'for a little bit of money.'
 
Evidence showed nearly $3,000 and Lowe's car were taken, and the car was recovered in Houston only after Hartfield told investigators where they could find it.
 
Testimony in the trial showed the woman was beaten with a pickaxe that left her fatally wounded and that her attacker had sex with her after she was dead.
 
'It's about what he did to that sweet lady,' Tanner said. 'She didn't deserve it.'
 
Hartfield's lead attorney, Jay Wooten, had said during closing arguments that missing and shaky evidence and a questionable confession should be enough to keep him from being convicted again.
 
The defense also had suggested Hartfield shouldn't be convicted of capital murder because the robbery was an afterthought and not directly related to the killing.
'A lot of things are missing from this case,' Wooten said. 'Like anything you have at your home since 1976, there are parts missing, there are parts that no longer fit.'

Revenge is a Poison meant for others, which we end up swallowing ourselves. Vengence is a Dark Light that blinds all who seek it. Don’t argue with Idiots.. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
