Conservative Jokester Convicted of Murder

A Sacramento County man was convicted Tuesday of two counts of murder with special circumstances for fatally stabbing and bludgeoning his sister and her husband in El Cerrito, a crime he said was meant to rid the world of two evil people.
The jury was out for only 45 minutes in Martinez before coming back with its verdict against Edward Wycoff, 40, of Citrus Heights. Contra Costa County prosecutors said they could not remember a shorter deliberation in a capital case.

"Wycoff did not argue with prosecutors' assertion that he had killed the couple because he thought they were too liberal, were "too easy" on their children and hadn't invited him over for Christmas. He had hoped to adopt his nephew and niece after the killings."

So he thought they were "too liberal" and this makes him a conservative?

LOL

Why you lefties bring yourself down with outright provable lies is beyond me. But it doesn't help your cause any, ted

He was a "moderate" Dem.

And was this a hate crime or just a regular one? And why?

"He also did not like the way the victims were raising their children and he did not like their liberal political beliefs. He considers himself a conservative, Peterson said.

The final "slight," though, was when he didn't get invited to his sister's house on Christmas, Peterson said."

Ooh a republican rage-monkey of th eweek thread?

Always fun.

So wotta we got here?

The convictions came a day after Wycoff, who is acting as his own attorney, tried to make a joke during his closing argument by stabbing a plastic bowl of cereal with a pen, saying, "I'm a cereal killer."

They should tack extra time on his sentence fer that joke.

Why are conservatives always so angry?

Anyone?

Be Well.

This sounds like a Coen brothers movie.

I'll say he needs to work on his comedic timing a little, but otherwise not a bad joke! LOL!

HORY CLAP! If the murdered pair were "too liberal" - he was definitely holding hands with them - what a 5150!
