I hope the State emphasizes that Abston is classed as a career offender before his advocates hit the civil rights circuit. IMO, Abston is an example of an offender not deterred whatsoever by prison for his priors. JMO

His file also states at the time, he had no suicidal gestures, medical problems, or mental illness. He was listed, though, as 100% violent.

TDOC confirmed to us he was released in November 2020 when his sentence expired.

<modsnip - DP discussion is off limits> This Defendant is a habitual, violent offender and predator IMO.

He could have been arrested and maybe off the streets if LE had pursued AF's claim of sexual assault in 2021 more responsibly. I feel for her as well.

MOO

Thanks for the update. Wonder what the conflict of interest was with the previous attorney?

Sure. He can have a trial on another planet. There seems to be evidence of DNA, of his shoes left at the scene, on the victim, victim's blood in the truck he was driving. The list is endless. I am interested in what exactly the defense will present.

Evil exists imo. Not aimed at you obviously, but mental illness is not always an issue imo.

He’s an animal, a monster, and evil to the core.

To think that lovely Eliza’s last memories were his face, voice and the terror and pain inflicted upon her is devastating.

Theres no defence. None.

MOO

Eliza is dead but think of what her husband and, in the future, children will have to endure for the rest of their lives: That this filthy monster violated and tortured their beautiful wife and mother, and that those were her last moments on earth.
