likearock 2 #1 December 10, 2005 To quote Kallend: unf*ckingbelievable. 'Killer' mistook Bible for gun 10/12/2005 16:46 - (SA) Belem, Brazil - The man accused of killing American nun and rain forest defender Dorothy Stang told a jury on Friday that he'd acted in self-defence after mistaking her Bible for a gun. Rayfran das Neves Sales is accused of killing Stang, 73, with six shots from a .38-caliber revolver on February 12 on a muddy road deep in the heart of the Amazon rain forest. Sales testified he and Stang had an argument over who owned the land he was working, and that Stang threatened to "finish him off" with the help of about 150 people living on a sustainable development reserve she was trying to establish. "She said: 'The weapon I have is this,' and reached into her bag," Sales said. "I didn't know what she was going to pull out of her bag so I shot her." Prosecutors allege that rancher Vitalmiro Moura offered Sales and co-defendant Clodoaldo Carlos Batista 50 000 reals ($25 000) to kill the nun, who spent the last 30 years of her life defending poor settlers in the rain forest. The prosecution contends that she was reading her Bible when she was shot at close range. Batista told the court he was unaware that Sales was armed and about to kill Stang when the two met her in the forest. During the trial prosecutors showed videotapes of confessions that contradicted the defendants' testimony at the trial. They also showed three videotaped re-enactments of the crime filmed shortly after the killing. In two of the tapes, each of the defendants separately re-enacted their version of events. A third version was provided by the only witness to the killing - a man who appeared in court wearing a ski-mask and a bulletproof vest. Stang's brother and sister, who flew from the United States to attend the trial, were visibly upset by the video. "I wasn't watching it. I only saw the scene in my head. I couldn't watch it," said Marguerite Stang, 72, who was in tears and had to be comforted by one of the nuns who worked with her late sister. Sales said on Friday that he didn't intend to kill Stang, but that after firing the first shot he "lost his head". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
