Erin Caffey a Shooting Scapegoat


Erin Caffey Shooting Scapegoat

Whenever a drunk driver gets behind the wheel of an auto mobile and later kills someone, who is responsible for the deaths? The driver or its passengers?

Should the passengers be charged as a party to this crime?

I believe that as far as the law is concerned, the driver is solely responsible for any traffic laws which are broken and this is applicable in all countries around the world unless I am mistaken.

In 2007, 16-year-old Erin Caffey's then 19-year-old boyfriend and an associate entered the home of Erin's parents and killed Erin's mother and two younger sibling brothers. Erin's Dad survived the attack. Erin and a friend stayed in a waiting car while their boyfriends carried out the attack.

It was later revealed that it was all Erin's idea.

That may be so but.....

Isn't someone in possession of a firearm solely responsible for its use and if someone who is a minor causes death or serious injury from a firearm then the gun owner must be held responsible  unless of course the firearm was stolen.

Erin Caffey and her associate Bobbi Johnson have taken more of their fair share of blame for this barbaric crime. Erin and Bobbi like back seat passengers have been made the scapegoat for the actions of their then boyfriends.

This crime took place in Alba, Texas in 2007. All four young people convicted of this crime are held at various units at Gatesville prison. Erin is now 26. I have tried to contact her and her Dad Terry but have received no response.

FINDING A SCAPEGOAT

Finding a Scapegoat You have heard the expression, "blaming the butler," well what this means is that when something has gone wrong there has always got to be a scapegoat. It lets other people off the hook and it is basically saying that "such and such wve happened if you had not done this or that or said such and such." In 2007, 16-year-old   Erin Caffey was found guilty of the murder of her mother and two younger sibling brothers. she actually did not kill them. Her then boyfriend of the time who was aged 18 and his associate did the killing while Erin and the girlfriend of the associate waiting in the car. It was all Erin's idea because her parents kept splitting up her relationships. Erin's Dad survived the massacre with I believe 11 gunshot wounds and he was able to identify the perpetrators. Unknown to him was that his own daughter Erin was behind the attack. The four were being questioned individually and the three older ones all

Connecting with the Right Company

He who walks with wise men shall be wise but a companion of fools will be destroyed. Proverbs 13:30 Written by Bob Stewart The people you spend most of your time with will influence how your life turns out. Often circumstances are such that people end up with company that is not ideal. It is not uncommon for people to be born into a drug and crimefree atmosphere. These are situations which are beyond the control of these people. But others end up in bad company in one way or another and in this post I am going to give some examples of how one can be controlled and how others can take advantage of this. There is a link between desires and fears. They basically feed off one another. An addict who desires drugs has the fear of not being supplied with drugs. The addict is then controlled by the supplier. In this way teenagers can be taken advantage of and are unable to severe ties with those who are abusing them. Love or lust is another desire which has its fears. The fear

US PLEA BARGAINING

  The majority of serious crimes in the United States involve a plea bargain where the accused is offered a more lenient sentence in return for pleading guilty. Is this right? I think that all depends on whether someone is guilty or innocent. In some cases it all depends on one's interpretation of the law. U.S. plea bargain leads to life sentence Is plea bargaining just an incentive for the accused to plead guilty? I cannot answer that question and am certainly not in a position to; I can only speculate but judging by one case of a young lady who rejected a plea bargain and unsuccessfully defended her case, it appears that those who lose their cases after rejecting a plea bargain that was offered seem to be penalised. The young lady in question is Jennifer Mee from Florida. As a nineteen year old she arranged a date with a young man with the intention of robbing him; her two male friends carried out the robbery which ended fatally.  Under Florida law, all participants in a fatal ro
