No Justice: Execution bid for a worthless piece of shit known as Debra Denise Brown dropped

Indiana prosecutors have quietly dropped efforts seeking the execution of Debra Denise Brown for her role in killing a 7-year-old girl during a 1984 crime spree.

The (Northwest Indiana) Times reports that the Lake County prosecutor and the Indiana attorney general's office signed an agreement last month withdrawing a demand for the execution of 56-year-old Debra Denise Brown.

She and Alton Coleman received death sentences for killing Tamika Turks of Gary, Indiana, and murders in Ohio. Coleman was executed in Ohio in 2002, while Brown's Ohio sentence was commuted to life in prison on grounds that she was mentally disabled.

Indiana attorney general spokeswoman Melissa Gustafson says U.S. Supreme Court rulings prohibit Brown's execution because of her disability.

Tamika Turks' mother says she's angry she wasn't notified about the decision.

Tamika Turks age 7, years old and her 9 year old niece, Annie, were walking back from the candy store to their home when they were confronted by Debra Denise Brown and Alton Coleman.

Brown and Coleman convinced them to walk into the woods to play a game. Once there, they removed Tamika's shirt and tore it into small strips which they used to bind and gag the children. When Tamika began to cry, Brown held her nose and mouth while Coleman stomped on her chest.

She was victimized sexually by both Brown and Coleman. Brown and Coleman then choked her until she was unconscious. When she awoke, they were gone. Tamika was found dead in the bushes in Gary, IN, strangled with an elastic strip of bedsheet. The same fabric was later found in the apartment shared by Coleman and Brown

My heart goes out to the mother of Tamika.

Melissa Gustafson, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Hill, stated late last week current law forbids Brown's execution.


"The modification was based on evidence developed throughout this case that Brown is likely intellectually disabled, a condition formerly known as mental retardation. Under ... the 2003 decision of the U.S. Supreme Court ... a death sentence cannot be given to persons who are intellectually disabled. So the parties agreed that modifying the death sentence to the next-highest possible sentence that Brown could legally be sentenced to was the correct resolution under federal constitutional law," she said.

The judge ordered Brown to serve a 140-year prison term in addition to a sentence of life without parole; she is currently serving at the Dayton Correctional Institution in Ohio for the murder of two females in that state.
Gustafson added, "It was our understanding that the victims and family members were contacted by (the Lake County prosecutor's) office, but it now appears that a mistake was made. The (Office of Attorney General) deeply regrets that they were not notified in advance, because we take seriously the dignity of victims of all crime and our responsibility to ensure that dignity within the criminal justice system."

Fuck her. Let her rot.
When she dies... cremate her and put the ashes in a cornerstone of the prison for the 140 years she owes then throw them away like yesterday's garbage.

If anybody needs a refresher on how much of an evil bitch she was - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alton_Coleman#Murders
