waltappel 1 #1 November 2, 2006 I've been around some pretty disturbed people, but *this* guy is in a class all by himself. I think I'm gonna stick with cremation. edited to add: Uh, yeah, it was a chemical imbalance! Walt From clicky Quote S.C. Man Gets 20 Years for Trying to Dig Up Girl's Corpse to 'Take Her Home and Have Fun' Thursday, November 02, 2006 YORK, S.C. — A 23-year-old Clover man who police say tried to dig up the grave of a 12-year-old girl after seeing her picture in an obituary has been sentenced to 20 years in prison. Bryan Nicholas Garcia never did find the girl's grave and told investigators he wanted to "take her home and have fun," Clover Police Lt. Randall Horn said. Garcia pleaded guilty but mentally ill Wednesday to two charges of destruction of a graveyard. Circuit Judge John Hayes sentenced Garcia to 20 years in prison and ordered him to register as a sex offender. Two mental evaluations found Garcia has a chemical imbalance in his brain that makes him want to have sex with corpses and children, defense attorney John Rhea said. Garcia hasn't decided whether to appeal, Rhea said. Garcia was arrested in May 2005 after running through a grocery store where he once worked in a full-length green coat, black sweater, camouflage gloves and a mask. Officers searching his car found a black plastic bag, shovels, a pickax and other digging tools, prosecutor Dan Hall said. Garcia then told police he was embarrassed because he had been trying to dig up the girl's grave, Hall said. "He had seen the name of a little girl in the obituaries in the paper," Hall said. "He thought she was cute and he wanted to take her home." Deputies went to the cemetery and found a hole about 3 feet deep. Garcia told them he dug at the cemetery twice, but never located the girl's body, Hall said. Garcia, who was a National Merit Scholar at York High School, told the girl's family he was sorry. "I apologize to anyone I've hurt with my actions," he said. Clover is about 20 miles southwest of Charlotte, N.C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jakee 1,596 #3 November 2, 2006 Again? Back in september I saw a newspaper story from the US about two brothers charged with trying to dig up a 17 year old beauty queen who'd been killed in a car crash. What made it even more disgusting, she'd already been down there at least a week! Bunch of sick motherfuckers - where's a throwing up icon when you need one?Do you want to have an ideagasm?

waltappel 1 #6 November 2, 2006 If the judge liked puns, when he was sentencing he probably said something like: "Young man, I have "grave" concerns for your future. I do not know what twisted thought processes "buried" in your psyche led you to "dig" yourself into such a hole, but your actions cannot be tolerated and I am about to give you a very "stiff" sentence." Or maybe not. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waltappel 1 #8 November 2, 2006 C'mon, continue it! "You may not think you have done anything to "urn" this kind of harsh punishment, but I assure you that you are probably the only person here who does not think what you did was completely "rottin'".

waltappel 1 #9 November 2, 2006 Gee, still no takers? "I am sentencing you to twenty years in prison. That will give you a lot of "dead" time to think about what you've done. One day you will "wake" up and realize the severity of what you've done. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
