GUILTY SC - Tiffany Souers, 20, Clemson student, found strangled, 26 May 2006

New Posts

A convicted sex offender has admitted he strangled a 20-year-old South Carolina college student, leaving her body in her off-campus apartment with her bikini top still wrapped around her neck.

Jerry Buck Inman pleaded guilty Tuesday to kidnapping, raping and murdering Tiffany Marie Souers. The 37-year-old Inman could face the death penalty.

Sounds like the defense attorney is using reverse psychology on the judge?
Inman feels so guilty over this murder that he would rather die then spend the rest of his life in prison. He suffers daily he feels so bad!!! My words but same thing his attorney stated. What a crock!

I wonder if he felt this same guilt over the many rapes he committed?? I wouldn't think so as he just kept raping women. Sounds like those women could identify him because they testified in court. So his excuse for killing this young girl doesn't hold any water as far as I'm concerned. So she could have identified him....she would have just been one of many.

I hope he does get the death penalty and has to sit in a tiny cell for 20 years. That means they also get LWOP too along with the death penalty.
 
What's so different about this time in prison for him? He's spent most of his adult life in prison...probably has friends there. Just send him on!
 
Sentencing to resume for man who killed SC student

As the third anniversary of Tiffany Souers' death approaches, sentencing for the man who confessed to raping and strangling the South Carolina college student in her off-campus apartment is set to resume Monday.
Inman served 18 years for rapes in North Carolina and Florida and is a registered sex offender in both states. He was free for about nine months before his arrest in Souers' death. He also faces charges in an attempted rape in Alabama and a rape in Tennessee that authorities have said occurred in the days leading up to Souers' death.

Inman defense accuses solicitor of misconduct

Greenville attorney Jim Bannister filed a motion that Solicitor Bob Ariail be recused from the sentencing hearing of Jerry Buck Inman, who pleaded guilty to murdering and raping 20-year-old Tiffany Souers in May 2006.

Bannister also asked for a mistrial.

He made the motions, questioning the solicitor’s conduct toward defense witness Dr. Marti Loring, a sociologist originally slated to testify last September in the sentencing hearing on behalf of Inman.

However, the judge said there were no grounds to recuse Arial from the case.
After Loring’s testimony, Bannister called to the stand, John Mauldin, who testified to having a similar situation take place concerning the solicitor’s conduct during another death penalty sentencing.

When the hearing broke for lunch, Mauldin was still on the stand.

Since Inman pleaded guilty, Miller must decide if the Tennessee native gets the death penalty or life in prison.

A judge has refused to stop the sentencing hearing for a Tennessee man who confessed to raping and strangling a South Carolina college student.


Circuit Judge Edward Miller on Tuesday refused a request for a mistrial by an attorney for Jerry Buck Inman.


Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Inman for the death of Tiffany Souers.

Man gets death for raping, strangling SC student

A Tennessee man who raped and strangled a South Carolina college student with her own bikini top was sentenced to die Wednesday, hours after he asked a judge to put him to death.


Jerry Buck Inman, 38, showed no reaction when Circuit Court Judge Edward Miller said he should die for killing Tiffany Marie Souers. Inman then apologized to the slain woman's family, though no relatives were in the courtroom.
He asked Miller for the sentence, which is carried out with either lethal injection or the electric chair in South Carolina.

"I've shown by my actions both in and out of prison that I cannot be rehabilitated," Inman, 38, told the judge. "I don't say any of this to be disrespectful, but your honor, in all reality, there's really only one sentence appropriate for someone like me, and I ask you to impose that sentence."

Jerry Inman was scheduled for execution, yesterday. Not finding anything to indicate he was executed. I wonder if an appeal was made.

The execution date is set by the judge at sentencing, but I've never heard of an execution taking place on that date. :behindbar MOO
 
No new trial for man who raped, killed SC student

COLUMBIA, S.C. The same judge who sentenced a Tennessee man to die for raping and strangling a South Carolina college student with her own bikini top has denied the convicted sex offender's request for a new trial, prosecutors said Thursday.

"With the denial of this motion, we are one step closer to having Mr. Inman's death sentence carried out," Solicitor Bob Ariail said in a news release. "And I can think of no one more deserving of that sentence than Jerry 'Buck' Inman."
