Juries convict men in gang rape of mother, son:

Both Tommy Poindexter and Nathan Walker were convicted by their respective juries in the Dunbar Village gang-rape trial.

Poindexter was convicted on eight of 13 counts. The jury found him not guilty on several counts related to the suspects having forced the mother to perform oral sex on her son. Walker was convicted on 11 of 14 counts, and his jury did find him guilty in the mother-son sex acts.

Poindexter is looking at 11 life sentences and Walker is looking at 8. Sentencing is scheduled for October 13th.

Here’s what happened after Poindexter was convicted…

He looked over his shoulder as he was led out of the courtroom and mouthed, “I love you,” to family members in the gallery. They cried and quickly left the courtroom, shouting obscenities as they walked from the building.

Real class. I’m guessing the rotten apple didn’t fall too far from the poisoned tree.

Poindexter and Walker were both teens charged as adults at the time of the crime. The people who normally think teens should never be charged as adults never made comment one on this case but that may have more to do with the suspects’ skin color than anything.
