Trial starts in Florida over the slaying of both parents with many kids

The selection for a Jury began Monday in the trial of a karate instructor who is charged with leading a group of armed men dressed as ninjas into a wealthy couple's home and robbing and murdering them. The two wealthy victums had 9 adopted special needs children that they cared for and 3 children of their own in the home. The men broke into the home and mudered the couple while the children slept. Leonard Patrick Gonzalez Jr., 36, could get the death penalty if convicted of organizing the break-in at Byrd and Melanie Billings' home near Pensacola on the night of July 9, 2009.




I remember the first night I heard about this story and when I read this article I had to blog about it. This is a very disturbing story. It's another one of those shocking stories that makes your heart weep for the victums and their friends and loved one that are feeling the pain of a lost loved one. I really do hope that this guy, and the other men that helped this man do what he did to that family, all get the death sentence. I think that they really deserve it. Why would you do that to good people like the Billings? If you commit a crime as great as this one then you better be ready for your punishment because it's coming quickly. Those two people were great people. They took 9, not just 1, they took 9 special needs children who were orphans and gave them a safe home. They gave those children a good home, and those men came and took those good people away from those poor little children that loved them very much. Those poor children depended on those two people. They are the victums now. May God have mercy on those evil men's souls because they have committed a crime so great that only God will be able to save them when they get the death sentence here on earth. This story really gets me going on a rampage. It pisses me off to see good people like the Billings die at the hands of these dirty theives that have no shame for what they've done. I hope the last faces they think about are those children's faces when they get what they deserve.
