A self-styled Satanist, Jaime Osuna had
beheaded his cellmate, Luis Romero in March 9, 2019. Another good reason why
murderers will kill behind bars. Keep in mind, Osuna was serving a life
sentence for the killing and torture of Yvette Pena, 37, at a Bakersfield motel
in 2011. With face tattoos and flair for Charles Manson-like satanic antics, he
became a dark figure during the 2017 trial, mocking the victim’s family and
bragging to a television news reporter of his love of torturing people.
I suspect that even Prisoner Rights
Activists will be too shock to talk about this case. Hopefully, he will get the
death penalty like other Prison Killers.
Osuna is just 31 years
old. He’ll kill again if he gets the chance!
Shortly
after the sadistic torture slaying and beheading of a convicted killer in a
California prison, apparently at the hands of his cellmate, prison guards
making their rounds reported that both men were alive, according to two new
reports from the state inspector’s general office.
The
reports on California lockups raise new questions about the heinous attack at Corcoran State Prison in March 2019 that has
prompted investigations and a lawsuit by the family of the victim, Luis Romero,
the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.
Jaime Osuna,
31, is accused of using a makeshift knife to decapitate and dissect Romero,
removing an eye, a finger and a portion of the man’s lung, state documents
show.
One
of the reports faults the California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation for conducting a shoddy investigation and delaying disciplinary
action against the guards.
Why
the officers did not discover the grisly scene earlier is not detailed in the
reports, the Times said. But a lawsuit by Romero’s family says the bars were
covered by a white sheet, suggesting the guards failed to make a thorough check
of the cell.
The
Department of Corrections disputed the findings of the reports, saying in a
statement it had conducted a “thorough and complete investigation from the very
beginning.”
The
family’s lawsuit also questions why Romero was in a cell with Osuna, a
convicted killer and “self-styled satanist” with a history of attacking his
cellmates, according to the newspaper.
“The
idea that my client had to sue in order to get basic questions answered about
her son’s death is disheartening,” said Justin Sterling, the attorney for
Romero’s mother.

Edward O’Neal, A self-proclaimed
“devil worshipper” who has been charged with a 2016 murder is accused of
killing once again. He was
just 18 when he first arrested over the 2016 murder of Ryan Roberts, whose body
was discovered in the woods by an overpass near his home with stab
wounds. On November 28, 2020, he shot Derrick Mike, his cousin’s
ex-girlfriend dead.
I
do not believe that this recidivist killer has mental illness, I believe that
he knew what he was doing, as he committed premeditated murder. As Thomas Szasz
said:
Mental illness is a myth, whose function is to disguise and thus render more palatable the bitter pill of moral conflicts in human relations.

A self-proclaimed “devil worshipper” who has been
charged with a 2016 murder is accused of killing once again.
Edward O’Neal, 23, was in a Texas prison for four
years awaiting trial for the 2016 stabbing murder of his 16-year-old friend
Ryan Roberts, the New York Post reports.
He was released in August on an AUD $33,000 bond.
But on Saturday, O’Neal was back behind bars,
accusing of shooting his cousin’s ex-boyfriend, Derrick Mike.
The 39-year-old victim was found in woodland on
November 28 and was able to describe his alleged assailant to police before he
died the next day.
Houston Police said O’Neal had confessed to both
killings to his mother.

As the delivery driver dropped off the food, a
concerned passerby removed the car keys and called police.
Court documents reveal that his mother told police
her son had mental issues and that she was “afraid of what else he might do.”
At the time of the 2016 killing, O’Neal’s mother
told police that her son worshipped the devil and had killed two family pets.
In a jailhouse interview with local news outlet
KPRC2, O’Neal admitted that he was a Satanist but denied killing Roberts.
He was admitted to a psychiatric institution for
120 days and was initially declared mentally incompetent to stand trial.
But when he was found competent again, a judge cut
his bond in half at the request of his lawyer.
Edward O’Neal, 23, was in a Texas prison for four
years awaiting trial for the 2016 stabbing murder of his 16-year-old friend.
O'Neal had posted $25,000 bail over the 2016 death of Ryan Roberts, pictured, just five months earlier after Judge Mark Kent Ellis had lowered the bond from $50,000. O'Neal was just 18 when he first arrested over the murder of Roberts, whose body was discovered in the woods by an overpass near his home with stab wounds
On
this date, September 22, 2020, William Emmett LeCroy was executed in U.S.
prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, by the US Federal Government. He was convicted
of the 2001 murder of Georgia nurse, Joann Lee Tiesler.

US government executes killer obsessed with witchcraft
By
MICHAEL TARMtoday
TERRE
HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — The U.S. government on Tuesday executed a former soldier who
said an obsession with witchcraft led him to kill a Georgia nurse he believed
had put a spell on him.
William
Emmett LeCroy, 50, was pronounced dead at 9:06 p.m. EDT after receiving a
lethal injection at the same U.S. prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, where five others have
been executed in 2020 following a 17-year period without a federal
execution.
Lawyers
had asked President Donald Trump in a petition to commute LeCroy’s sentence to
life in prison, saying that LeCroy’s brother, Georgia State Trooper Chad
LeCroy, was killed during a routine traffic stop in 2010 and that another son’s
death would devastate their family.
The
execution began nearly three hours later than scheduled as LeCroy’s lawyers
made an ultimately failed, last-minute bid to convince the U.S. Supreme Court
to issue a stay.
As
a curtain rose across glass windows separating witnesses from the death
chamber, LeCroy lay strapped to a cross-shaped gurney, with IVs in his forearms
and hands. He kept his eyes fixed firmly on the ceiling, not turning to look
toward witnesses. The witnesses included the father and fiancé of Joann Lee
Tiesler, whom LeCroy raped and stabbed to death 19 years ago, Justice
Department spokesperson Kerri Kupec said in a statement.
LeCroy’s
spiritual adviser, Sister Barbara Battista, stood a few feet away inside the
chamber, her head bowed and reading softly from a prayer book.
LeCroy
had said last week he didn’t want to play into what he called the “theater”
surrounding his execution and so might not make a full statement in the minutes
before he died, Battista told The Associated Press earlier Tuesday.
When
a prison official leaned over him Tuesday night and gently pulled off LeCroy’s
face mask to ask if he had any last words, LeCroy responded calmly and
matter-of-factly. His last and only words were: “Sister Battista is about to
receive in the postal service my last statement.”
LeCroy
kept his eyes open as someone out of his view in an adjacent room began
administering the lethal injection of pentobarbital. His eyelids grew heavy
while his midsection began to heave uncontrollably. After several more minutes,
color drained from his limbs, his face turned ashen and his lips tinted blue.
After about 10 more minutes, an official with a stethoscope entered the
chamber, felt LeCroy’s wrist for a pulse and then listened to his heart before
officially declaring him dead.
Another
execution, of Christopher Vialva, is scheduled Thursday. He would be the first
African American on federal death row to be put to death in the series of
federal executions this year.
Critics
say the Justice Department’s resumption of federal executions this year is a
cynical bid to help Trump claim the mantel of law-and-order candidate leading
up to Election Day. Supporters say Trump is bringing long-overdue justice to
victims and their families.
LeCroy
broke into the Cherrylog, Georgia, mountain home of Joann Lee Tiesler on Oct.
7, 2001, and waited for her to return from a shopping trip. When she walked
through the door, LeCroy struck her with a shotgun, bound and raped her. He then
slashed her throat and repeatedly stabbed her in the back.
LeCroy
had known Tiesler because she lived near a relative’s home and would often wave
to her as he drove by. He later told investigators he’d come to believe she
might have been his old babysitter he called Tinkerbell, who LeCroy claimed
sexually molested him as a child. After killing Tiesler, he realized that
couldn’t possibly be true.
Two
days after killing Tiesler, LeCroy was arrested driving Tiesler’s truck after
passing a U.S. checkpoint in Minnesota heading to Canada.
Authorities
found a note LeCroy wrote before his arrest in which he asked Tiesler for
forgiveness, according to court filings. “You were an angel and I killed you,”
it read. “

“Today justice was finally served. William LeCroy died a peaceful
death in stark contrast to the horror he imposed on my daughter Joann,” the victim’s father, Tom Tiesler, said
in a statement.
“I am unaware that he ever showed any remorse for his evil actions,
his life of crime or for the horrific burden he caused Joann’s loved ones,” the statement read.
A
few hours before the execution, Battista, waiting near the prison, held a bag
of caramel chocolate that she said was LeCroy’s favorite. In conversations with
him in the days leading up to the execution, she said he had been contemplating
his likely death and sounded resigned.
“He
said, ‘You know, once we were not and then we are and then we are not,’” she
said. “He was reflective. He didn’t seem agitated.”
LeCroy
joined the Army at 17 but was soon was discharged for going AWOL and later
spoke about an interest in witchcraft that began during a previous stint in
prison for burglary, child molestation and other charges.
He
had ruminated for days before the slaying about how Tiesler was Tinkerbell and
that assaulting her would reverse a hex she put on him. After he cut her
throat, he went to Tiesler’s computer to search for books about witchcraft,
court filings said.
He
was convicted in 2004 on a federal charge of carjacking resulting in death and
a jury recommended a death sentence.
LeCroy’s
lawyers had unsuccessfully tried to halt the execution and argued that his
trial lawyers didn’t properly emphasize evidence about his upbringing and
mental health that could have persuaded jurors not to impose a death sentence.
Their last-minute appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court was also rejected.
Over
previous 56 years, before the Trump administration’s reboot of executions
this year, the federal government had executed just three people — all in
the early 2000s. Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh was among them.
“The Justice Department upholds the rule
of law - and we owe it to the victims and their families to carry forward the
sentence imposed by our justice system.” – William Barr
William Emmett
LeCroy,
50, was pronounced dead at 9:06 p.m. via lethal injection at the Federal
Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana — the same facility where five
other inmates have been executed this year. LeCroy was found guilty of
murdering Joann Lee Tiesler on Oct. 7, 2001.
