    wonder if their related?lol

    dsgsgg

    Can someone post the article on this site, instead of Bossip forcing us to go on another site that they own just for sleazy web hits………

    This story can easily be posted here…….SMH

    Damn homie guess we all can’t be ashton cuthcher

    Aunt Viv

    So ridiculous…and he does look like Shaniya Davis’s alleged kidnapper/killer. SMH.

    This some Shhh....

    Knew that was coming. She could have already been dead and he would have gotten charged.

    KeepNit2Real

    Dude could have just stood still by her moosehead and bear rug…she would have never known the difference.

    Alrighty Then...

    Needless to say, she wouldn’t be dead if it weren’t for his actions, so it’s fitting. Dumb a$$…

    Nique

    @Alright Then…

    I agree. His actions are what caused this woman to die. Another one off the streets….

    I know of murders who didn’t get Life sentences…not excusing him, but c’mon son! Life?!?!? Because a Negro was in her crib? Really?

    Simone

    Damn.
    That Was Not A Smart Move.
    Life?! Oh My…

    Really

    So are we supposed to feel sorry for this fool?

    my black ppl pls stop it be so dumbest

    Str8 Truth

    He shouldn’t have been breaking into homes. He caused a death due to his criminal activity. What did you expect to happen?

    Redemption

    Everything happens for a reason. I too have done some stupid things that, there but by the grace of God, I was blessed enough to have survived and not get hung up like this youngster. But unfortunately that woman died and now he has to serve time for that.

    Hopefully, somebody read this and will think twice before running up in somebody’s house looking for loot.

    STEFANY

    According to prosecutors for the case, Whitfield was looking for a place to hide after a robbery and broke into Parnell’s home causing her to have a heart attack. While he never touched the grandmother, he did cause the heart trauma and never called for help.

    What an idiot.

    I thought he was hiding from the police?
    Anyway, dude could have at least called 911 for the lady! Another young life wasted. But for the Grace of God, there go I.

    LET MESAYSOMETHING

    Now Yall know that old white women are scared of young black men anyway. So although it is bad that the old girl had a heart attack I think the sentence is to severe!!1

    Marquis de Sade

    This is a case of Involuntary Manslaughter + Kidnapping. The sentence is just.

    it's Me

    That is what this idiot gets. Should not be out robbing, and breaking into folks houses. She should have shot his f”n head off.

    I beat he wares his pants hanging off his butt, well now he can drop them as big bubba will be all up in dem draws..

    Marquis de Sade

    LET MESAYSOMETHING

    That’s a silly *****essment. I’m sure if a strange person breaks into anyone’s place, in all probability it’ll scare the holy bejezus out of them…Especially an Octogenarian. Race has nothing to do with it.

    Wenzel Dashington (aka Mr. Sterling Cooper)

    If he called for help, he would have got caught. duh!

    Blu Rain

    911: What’s your emergency?
    Ol’ boi: I just robbed a store and was hidding from the cops.
    911: yes, go on
    Ol’ boi: I broke in here to hide and I just scared this white lady to death.

    Really? He should have called somebody?!?!? GTFOOH! He got life for, kidnapping, not murder *****uming that there wasn’t enough evidence to prove it. So, they charged him w/kidnapping instead of breaking and entering (which is what he did). When real kidnappers (Elizabeth Smart’s, for instance) got 15 years, and they REALLY Kidnapped. WTF! And we have the audacity to saw he got what he deserved? I pray that non of you fall on hard times and make a mistake (that can cause you to spend your life behind bars).

    Peace! Dumba.s.s… Smh.

    Tygire

    Have fun in prison you dummy. I hope you never get out.

    facefacts

    someone pls tell me why black people continue to do foolish things knowing damn well uR considered guilty and have to be proven innocent which at times requires DNA testing decades later…was the sentence fair HELL NO IT NEVER IS BUT HE THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH HIS LIFE ANYWAY…DUMB A$$! MAYBE HE’LL FIND JESUS IN JAIL..

    LET MESAYSOMETHING

    I stand by what I said!!!

    Man, I just don't care™

    This woman was 79 years old and died of heart attack! How the hell can he be responsible for HER BAD HEART?????

    He must of had a TERRIBLE lawyer. He didn’t TELL HER to have a heart attack. SHE chose to have a bad heart.

    SMH.

    Marquis de Sade

    Blu Rain

    The lady died because of his t.r.a.n.s-g.r.e.s.s.i.o.ns.. The pro-secu-tor couldn’t prove “INTENT”, hence the “INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER” charge. This is a.k.i.n. to a drunk driver or drug a.d.d.i.c.t. killing someone under the influence. In this person’s case, this is involuntary manslaughter w/special c.i.r.c.u.m.s.t.a.n.c.e.s, i.e. Kidnapping, via breaking into a private residence and hol-ding someone h.o.s.ta.g.e., thus leading to said h.o.s.t.a.g.e.’s death. Trust me, sir, his sentence wa$ just.

    always knew

    I don’t think the sentence was fair, not that I am condoning what was done… But then again, he should get some serious time for kidnapping, etc..

    Blah

    Man, I just dont care..are you serious? if he didnt break into her house she wouldnt of had that heart attact it doesnt matter if he was 99.9 yrs old..hes caused her to die think about if it was ur grandmother you wouldnt cut this ***** ne slack

    LOL! If you came into a courtroom with that defense, the judge would probably throw your a$$ out the courtroom and report you to the Bar A$$ociation.

    holla

    she didnt really have a bad heart but i’m curious though…do u call it kidnapping if someone is still in their house and you’re not preventing them from leaving? Also, how did they prove that her heart attack was because of him? Supposed her cable got cut an she missed an episode of Golden Girls an got tight…prob was like damn, nun else 2 live for n kicked the bucket. Its impossible to prove unless someone was actually there and even then its difficult. Number of things could have caused that…he could have gotten a number of charges that would have given him at least 25-30 years in jail but life, life is pretty deep but guess it serves him right for not tryna make an honest living.

    He’ll have it tough when shower time comes and he’s soaping up next to a m***** murderer. From granny killer to butt pirate, the story of an idiot

    You mean to tell me he couldn’t argue “reasonalbe doubt” about the heart attack of a 79 yr old woman????????????????

    GTFOH.

    A doctor could only give an “APPROXIMATION” as to the time of the heart attack anyway. For all we know that woman could of been dead before he “broke in.”

    ARE YOU SERIOUS? Let’s take a look at this. He’s a YOUNG BLACK MAN, she’s an OLD WHITE WOMAN that died of an heart attack.

    HOW CAN YOU PROVE HIS ACTIONS CAUSED HER HEART ATTACK WHEN SHE HAS ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE ALREADY! Please, these were some trumped up charges that often occurs against the poor and minorities.

    SMH at naive people.

    Hi Marquis~! Kisses!!!

    mydixiewrecked

    @ Man, I just don’t care™

    trumped up or not the lil’ bama did it… next!

    Rrrrroe Ski Love- A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    If Grandma was to live another 20 years she would have been 99 years old. He should have been sentenced to 20 years in prison, Justice would be served because the victim would have lived maybe for another 20 years with good healthcare and no mishaps. He must serve some jail time for contributing to her death, but life in prison is a little harsh, when her death was not due to him directly. In other words her heart could have been weak long before said occurence.

    Man, I just don’t care™

    Uhhh, he broke into her “HOUSE”, while trying to avoid arrest. He’s lucky they couldn’t prove “INTENT”…In that case, it could’ve resulted in the death penalty (if N.C. has one). Kidnapping alone is a federal offense, which results in 20 to life….And i’m sure this dude has priors, so his incarceration is no big loss to humanity.

    Moreaces

    When people start to take full responsibility for their lives, and not trying to take the easy way out by engageing in criminal activity, then maybe the number of brothers in prison would go down a whole lot. Until then, black men and women will be behind bars. Dont do the crime……..

    ______________________________________________________________

    Let’s see, a 79 yr old white woman dies of heart attack and a black convicted felon is found in her house.

    How can he even be charged with kidnapping when the body was found in her own home?????? She couldn’t of given a statement saying so when she was dead.

    The fact is they can’t PROVE that his actions caused a heart attack. And there is NO WAY that a lawyer couldn’t of argued reasonable doubt. This is ridiculous and a waste of tax payer money.

    Marquis de Sade

    Man, I just don’t care™

    Yeah, but by your logic, it can’t be proven that his intrusion didn’t cause her heart attack, either…But what can be proven is he did break into her house. The law of probabilities does not fall into his favor.

    Oh well, it’s been stimulatin’. Off to work.

    __________________________________________________________

    My argument doesn’t need to prove one way or another. Just that there is enough reasonable doubt that no one can say for sure that he is directly responsbile.

    Which is OBVIOUSLY the case in this scenario. SMH at the lattitude given to prosecutors. Something should be done about this.

    Oh well, the tax payers will have to support a 20 something and physically able man because of the ignorance of a prosecutor (that they also support). The laughs on them.

    Tough Love

    People should learn the laws and know what they’re up against before they go breaking them. Each state has it’s own set of laws that may not make sense to the rest of the country. But as long as you’re in that state you’re governed by their laws. I don’t feel sorry this fool. Most states have these strict laws as a deterrent and method of prevention. But these dumb azz criminals always try to beat the odds and end up walking directly into these extreme situatuions. Good for him.

    Creole Consigliere

    Is this post supposed to elicit sympathy for this degenerate??? Please spare us!

    It’s really simple. It’s called “felony murder.” Home invasion, i.e. breaking into a home while the owner is there, is a felony. If someone dies during the commission of a felony, for ANY reason, including if God decides to call that soul home at that moment and the person would have died even if the felony hadn’t occurred, then it is felony murder.

    The law is there to strongly discourage the committing of felonies by making the punishment extreme. If one is going to be brazen enough to act in such disregard to others, they deserve whatever consequences they have EARNED.

    Alrighty Then...

    “they did find him guilty of causing her death by kidnapping her, and that carries an automatic life sentence.”

    It’s the law. To dam bad for him. Like Tough Love said, people should KNOW THE LAW before you go breaking them. Serves him right.

    LOL. People are so naive. These laws weren’t created to discourage crime. HA HA HA HA. Laws like this, and the death penalty and so on have been PROVEN not to discourage crime.

    Laws like this were created to pacify the ignorant public into feeling like criminals are being punished as opposed to having crime PREVENTED. If people realized ignorance like this only creates more criminals and increases tax debt… **sigh**

    Politicians have another victory over the ignorant public. SMH.

    Stop being an *****-wipe with the childish reenactments. The point is , if this dumb ***** goofy wouldn’t have been trying to rob someone else, then running like a punk ***** coward when the police started to come, he never would have been in that lady house. What if he ran up in yo grandma house like that and caused her early departure. And just because a ***** on hard times, does not give him the right to break the law. DAMN WE ALL HAVE BEEN ON HARD TIMES, does that mean we all get one free rob in life? GTFOH….Dummies making excuses for dummies!

    THANK YOU CREOLE! Some of these posters arguments are so asinine that it defies comprehension: if this fool had broken in, robbed the house and set it on fire, with her asleep in the room and unable to get out, they’d probably say, ‘WELL IT’S HER FAULT FOR NOT GETTING TO THE DOOR FAST ENOUGH, IT’S NOT HIS FAULT SHE WAS A SENIOR CITIZEN!’ GTFOH!!!

    Moreaces

    You break the law, by breaking into someone home, trying to take things they have worked hard for. You get what you have coming to you. He is lucky that old azz white women did not have a gun and blow is sorry head off. What nerve… He knew he was doing wrong when he put it in his mind to go rob some old defenseless women,, This is why we have the high crime and senseless violence we have today,, next stop this fool would be robbing a bank,, or breaking into your loved ones home,, maybe this time with a gun,, get these pieces of ish off the street and look them up for years and years and years.. make way for brothers that want to do right and make a honest life for themselves

    kisses

    Poor lady, I can’t even imagine the horror she felt. Im so tired of seeing these ignorant animals on TV…This is one of the reason some people from other races look at us the way they do. This idiot also looks like the monster that is in custody for kidnapping and asphyxiating SHANIY DAVIS.

    Despite the million and one charges u brought up, all law boils down to is reasonable doubt. If u can prove beyond that then it stand. I guess she was healthy with no heart complaints for months which prob sealed his conviction but she’s too old man. No one is saying he didnt do it or didnt deserve time. I really think the stress of the whole affair did actually kill her but its good now but could be bad later. Suppose she screamed and someone else came in to see what was happening…then they would be doing life for trying to help. Caught in the act, black man scares old woman to death. No one is disputing he’s at fault just would like something more concrete than the *****umption that his being there killed her. U nor no one else knows that, in this case it was positive but where there’s a positive there’s always be a negative regardless of what the probabilities are. We can count this as a day the courts came thru but if it was a situation where the person tried to help n no cell phone to call 911 with the cops busting thru the door. It would be a done deal despite everything.
    Always look at every angle to a situation…both the good and the bad

    Well, Im just sayin the dude did just rob somebody ran from the police probably had a gun, broke into the ladies house, and if it would have been yo grandma I can bet you would have thought this was pretty fair

    Like the old blues men used to say:

    “you pays yo’ money, and you takes yo’ chances”.

    This “fumb duck” will have a LOOOOOOOONG time to think about the consequences of his actions ….

    I’m sick and tired of ni—s thinking every other black person in america is supposed to consign on his “shumb dit” —- hellllll to the NO.

    If you INSIST to others that you are as GOOD as anybody else in society, then ACT like it, or pay the price.

    PERIOD.

    Andromaches

    I feel no sympathy for this criminal. The break-in triggered her heart attack. Plain and simple. When the victim dies during the commission of a crime the perpertrator is going to jail. Fair enough!

    For those saying that the sentence is excessive due to his race you’re probably right. Knowing that blacks generally get harsher sentences for the same crimes others commit should be a deterrent. I’d like to have material goods and money that I didn’t earn too, but my fear of prison is stronger than my greed.

    No sympathy for thieving idiots from me.

    emma

    forget the heart attack!! the dude didnt even help at all during the poor woman’s heart attack! it only takes three number to save someone’s life. even if she didnt make after he had called for help, at least the damn fool tried. what a foool!

    Shay

    So he broke into her home and caused her heart attack. Why should I care about him? Just because he’s black? Bossip I’m tired of these BS posts like I’m supposed to go protest because some dumb goon decided to break the law. You have black people actually being treated unfairly in the justice system but you tie up our time with this bull.

    Darkesthourgla ss

    I have no sympathy for him getting life. Just one crime after another. He should’ve thought about that before he broke into ole girl’s house and faced the music. His family must be proud of him.

    peaches

    That’s what his stupid self gets. He shouldn’t have been in that lady’s house. He wouldn’t have gotten in trouble if he hadn’t have been in her house. I have no sympathy for him. OH WELL!!!

    AYYYEE

    I personally know him and he is not a bad person he just made a bad choice. And all that shaniya davis killer comparisons are wrong he is a loving man

    memchee

    not sure the punishment fits the crime, but he is guilty on a few levels.

    I think he should’ve gotten 6yrs at the most; er’thing past that is excessive and unusual.

    Im trying my hardest not to laugh !!!!!!!!

    I went to high school with him..wow!!!! that is crazy….

    MISS.SITTIN.PRETTY

    He didn’t get life in prison for killing her… he got it for kidnapping. he didn’t kill her…stop trying to make the brother sound like a MURDERER! Thats all ya’ll try to do anyway!

    he got life cuz the bit.ch was white n old… straight up!

    And some man will be “loving” his dumb criminal minded behind when gets into the slammer,, where he belongs as long has the sentence him..

    Madonna

    This is my friend from highschool he had never been in trouble a day in his life..crime doesn’t pay but this is ridiculous I see women who murder the offspring and husbands and vice versa and they get shorter sentencing. The judicial system sucks and he would have never got a fair trail in Gaston County N.C. they are racist as hell. We love you though Larry. May the Lord be with you. And to those who jump to say the negative about something you know nothing about, may you rot in jail if you are ever faced against something like this. First off it was attempted robbery, yeah he was looking for a place to hide but he never touch that lady nor did he kidnap anyone.

    Madonna

    also he wasnt tried to robb her he had already left the robbery scene.

    funny gal

    what’s ridiculous about breaking and entering? he’s lucky he didn’t get the chair..

    kingsley

    THIS IS B.S. DORRY.. PUNISHMENT DOES NOT FIT THE CRIME…

    Shay

    Well too bad for him maybe someone else will think twice before robbing someone in the first place.

    Since the “punishment does not fit the crime” to some of our Bossip posters. What punishment should? 5 years, 10 years, 20 years? You have robbery, fleeing the police, breaking and entering, and negligent homicide. How much time should he get for all those things?
