GUILTY AL - Kamille "Cupcake" McKinney, 3, kidnapped from party, Birmingham, 12 Oct 2019 *Arrests, 1 Guilty* #8

[Seattle1]

There is no joy in this verdict.

Cupcake can never come home, grow up, have boyfriends, get married, be a mom and it goes on and on.

Yes, I’m glad they are both going to pay but I feel an overwhelming sense of sadness.

Our Cupcake never stood a chance against these two monsters.

MOO

And these convictions were only for kidnapping. I'm not looking forward to the murder trials.

 

[Seattle1]

The jury begin its deliberation shortly after at 11:20 a.m. The verdict was reached around 12:40 p.m., after about an hour and 15 minutes.

Says it all.....

Patrick Stallworth, Derick Brown get life without parole in Kamille ‘Cupcake’ McKinney's kidnapping​

[...]

Assistant U.S. attorney Lloyd Peeples read a statement at Stallworth’s sentencing from Kamille’s mother, April Thomas, who cried as the statement was read.

[...]

“Did she call for me, her mother? I called for my Cupcake but she was gone because you took her. She never answered back and never came back because you took her, you took her life,” the statement continued.

Brown made a statement before her sentencing.

“Lord knows if I could back in time to that terrible day and change the outcome, I would,” Brown said.

[...]

“I don’t want you to picture me as the monster the media has made me out to be,” Brown said.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Brittany Byrd read a lengthy statement from Thomas that said Brown, as a mother of six, should have known better and her motherly instinct should have kicked in.

“My family destroyed, and bonds permanently broken because you stole from us,” the statement read.

Thomas called Brown evil and dark. “No punishment or sentence is enough for what you did,” Thomas said. “You deserve everything that is coming your way and more.”

[...]

Both still face trials in state court on capital murder charges, where they could receive the death penalty if tried and convicted.

This case is the sickest thing I’ve ever laid my eyes on. I CNGAF. Sick barstewards deserve everything they get IMO

 

[Seattle1]

I'm not sure why the feds prosecuted these monsters prior to the state charges unless the state already decided to pursue the death penalty. I'm concerned that the two defendants will now spend the remainder of their lives in federal BPO which is too good for them. JMO

I'm so sick of these mental evals. Obviously these child murderers have some type of mental health issue, but it should not be used to negate their actions in these cases.

They were smart enough to drive around and try and lure children and ultimately Cupcake away with candy they purchased for that reason and to cover up their crime. GRRRRRRRR (Sorry, just so sad and sick of this evilness).

MOO

Patrick Stallworth and Derick Irisha Brown on Friday were sentenced to life in federal prison without the possibility of parole in the 2019 deadly abduction 3-year-old Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney.

Both were found guilty of kidnapping that resulted in death and conspiracy to kidnap a minor victim Chief U.S. District Court Judge L. Scott Coogler, who presided over both trials, handed down the sentence Friday morning.

So thankful after all of this time that there was justice for Cupcake! Without the possibility of parole!

 

[Seattle1]

If AL pursues the death penalty, it will likely only prove beneficial for these two scum.

For example, they are going to be housed in Federal Prison (FPO) versus State Dept of Corrections because the US District Court case was prosecuted first.

And inmates on death row get multiple chances for appeal because they can file multiple Petitions for a Writ of Habeas Corpus Under 28 U.S.C. § 2241.

I just learned this with Tx Robert Fratta who was executed in January 2023 after 30 years in prison-- and two trials after abusing the appellate with petitions described above.

IMO, it's hardly worth pursing the death penalty.
