Horrible story.

JOSE Amaya Guardado didn’t stand a chance.
First, they hacked him with a machete. Then, they buried him alive out in the forest.
And to celebrate the crime, two of his attackers then had sex beside the shallow grave, where he was still breathing.

Horrible.
 
Hope these teens get charged as adults and get the harshest sentence like DP would be good for me
 
OMG this is incredibly horrible. His family finding him... i can't even... omg
 
I have no words.

RIP Jose.

I am heartbroken and devastated for his poor family.
 
Apparently Ms Strickland did not let being detained by LE stand in the way of continuing w violence and vitriol, jmo.

"Strickland, of Miami Gardens, refused to cooperate with Miami-Dade detectives when detained on Wednesday. According to police, she shoved an investigator, head-butted his chest and flailed about before she was shackled in an interview room.
She also used screws from an electrical outlet to try and pick her handcuffs, then scrawled “MPD Go to Hell” on a table, the report said. Strickland also was charged with resisting an officer with violence, battery on an officer and criminal mischief."

A fifth suspect in the gruesome machete slaying of 17-year-old Jobs Corps student Jose Santos Amaya Guardado was taken into custody this week.

Miami-Dade police said they found Joseph Michael Cabrera, 23 of Key Largo, at a home in the St. Louis area. He remained in Missouri Thursday afternoon, his exact charges unknown publicly, hidden in a sealed arrest warrant.

"....arrested Thursday at the home of relatives near Elsberry,[MO] authorities said...."
"Binder said police believe Cabrera didn’t take part in the actual killing but was involved in the planning."
"Binder said he is accused of being involved in digging up the body and mutilating it before it was reburied.
Earlier this summer, four other classmates of the victim were charged with second-degree murder in the case....According to an arrest report in Florida, the attack had been planned two weeks in advance." bbm

During those 2 weeks, did none of them reconsider?
No words.
 
Why is it second degree murder if they planned it two weeks in advance?
 
Despicable.
Imo, these young monsters are broken. Irredeemable. As in cannot be rehabilitated, ever.
Sounds very negative; but to commit actions like that...

As he lay in a pool of his own blood, the attackers threw him in a shallow grave and set him on fire, authorities say
“These deficiencies occurred because center management wanted to provide students who committed serious misconduct with second opportunities;
endquote emphasis mine

There are some offences that don't merit a "second chance", and physical assault should be one of them, I'd think !
Nor meaning to disparage those who have actually turned their lives around; but it sounds like this program needs to have a complete overhaul, or face being de-funded.

Lock these perps up for life. I know the DP won't happen for them, but imo, their usefulness to society has expired. What could they possibly contribute if they're set free -- even in 10-20 years ?

Hard to believe some lawyer will have to come up with a defense for them , and the severity of this crime makes one wonder what they may have done in the past ?
Makes my blood run cold to see their mug shots.
:moo:

Rest forever in gentle peace, Jose !
 
Accused of taking part in a savage machete murder in Homestead, a teenage girl insisted she was innocent — and was not quiet about it.

Newly released police interrogation video shows that Desiray Strickland, 19, feverishly demanded to be let free, howled hysterically at a Miami-Dade detective and even scratched insults to police on an interrogation-room table.

this young lady seems really oblivious during her interview to the fact that she is an adult and daddy cannot bail her out of this situation.

Former students accused of the savage machete murder of a teen in Homestead want to be released from jail before trial – and a judge is allowing the evidence against them to remain secret.

In a rarely seen move, a Miami-Dade judge on Tuesday agreed to close the courtroom for a key hearing to determine whether bail is appropriate for two of five young people accused of murdering 17-year-old Jose Amaya Guardado...

The Miami Herald plans to appeal the ruling.

“The courtroom belongs to the public, and it’s difficult to accept that the public is being kicked out of a hearing during which the judge will consider whether two people indicted for first-degree murder should be released into public pending trial,” said Scott Ponce, a lawyer for the Miami Herald.

Wow. What those teens did is horrific. They took someone else's life after beating him severely, and then they refuse to take any responsibility for their actions or to cooperate with authorities. They seem to think they are above the law. These kids have only proven that they're not fit for society.
 
One of the young men accused in the violent machete murder of a Homestead student on Friday rejected a plea deal that could have meant as little as 10 years behind bars.

Joseph Cabrera, 24, told a Miami-Dade judge that he did not wish to accept the deal offered by prosecutors, who want him to cooperate against four others charged in the high-profile slaying of 17-year-old Jose Amaya Guardado.

For now, Cabrera faces the death penalty. And even if the prosecutors were to waive execution as a possibility, Cabrera still faces a mandatory sentence with no possibility of release were he to be convicted of first-degree murder at trial.
