I agree w/ the Spirit Warrior Woman.

Praying for the victim and for those who have shared some pretty idiotic statements here. Why waste your time and breath if you don't have something worthwhile to say??? God bless. Rev. RB

I have no opinion on what happened here, but I would like to remind you that people are guilty until they can prove otherwise, regardless of that other phrase that we are all used to. Ask Mr. Nifong.

it wasn't him it was his cousin!

Tragic story. The authorities (Holly Springs) must established probable cause early on in this case. It's unfortunate someone had to die this way. James Brewington Jr., 34 will get his day in court to give his account of what happened.
