Over 95% of those charged in US cut a plea deal. Thank you for your gut emotion. How would sexual assault cases proceed if everyone knew the end result was death? Every cop attempting to make a sexual assault arrest would have to be ready for a shoot out to the death.

Gwalk - quit being foolish. The afflicted neighborhoods in Chicago - the South and West sides - have depressingly high murder rates. Those neighborhoods on the problem, not Streeterville.

The real problem here is under incarceration, even though I believe we generally over incarcerate in this country.

Most of the murderers in Chicago have a record which speaks to violence. They should not be on the streets. So the real question becomes what happens if Chicago truly enforces the gun laws in the South and West sides (most of the perps cannot legally own guns)? The incarceration rates in these neighborhoods would zoom, giving rise to really challenging questions about how many we are incarcerating (because if we are serious about gun control we would have to put the unlawful owners away for extended periods of time).

I am not a gun guy so the gun control thing isn't an issue for me . But if you want guns out of the hands of violent criminals, and really mean it, well, be careful what you ask for.

This guy in Utah should have never been on the streets. We have challenges in keeping the right people off the street. There is the rub.

At least he wasn't in prison taking up a space from an evil cannabis-smoker!

This man is total garbage, a disgrace to whatever groups you identify him with. Just utter and total trash.

It really makes me sick that he's snuffed out this lovely young woman. He is clearly a sociopath.

According to investigators, Lauren McCluskey had reported to police that she was subject to extortion threats by Melvin Rowland.

He threatened to publish compromising photos that have been taken of her during their brief relationship. She paid him $1,000 in hush money.

She knew him less than a month and already she was getting into freakiness in front of a camera?

He's a hot black guy in Utah. I'm not surprised that she got freaky for him. All it takes for that to happen is one or two too many alcoholic beverages and a cell phone. It wasn't smart to do so, not at all. But young people are bound to make mistakes. Hers had incredibly unlucky, tragic consequences.

It keeps getting worse.

This guy was getting sex right up to the very end:

"McCluskey told Rowland she was ending the relationship, but allowed him to spend the night in her room and borrow her car the next day to run errands."

"Rowland called a woman he met on a dating site, and asked her to pick him up. They....went to her home downtown, where he took a shower."

Yep. What an idiot. This guy was living the dream of every 18 year old male in America and gave it all up over some emotions. Why not just keep on sleeping around with all the hot white girls until they get tired of your lying azz and then move to Vermont?

Those would be in the possession of the investigating police department as it would be on the devices of either the victim or the perpetrator. They will never see the light of day. We don’t know exactly what they were, but I think it is safe to assume that she wasn’t taking photos for her Christmas card.

A real tragedy. Saying this first, she didn't deserve to lose her life at the hands of this evil person. However, she made a serious mistake in judgement by having any type of relationship with him. The rise and acceptance of pornography and thinking pre-marital sex is harmless has the fingerprints of God's adversary all over it.

S.O.W.P.

Just to be accurate, killing your girlfriend or boyfriend for rejecting you does not make you a sexual predator. Having sex with people without their consent does.

ESPN just released their findings and they are pretty damning of across-the-board system failures by the University, University Police, City Police, and Utah Parole Board. Even the perpetrator's employer and co-workers failed Lauren.

So many opportunities to stop this from happening.

What a tragedy.

Interviews and records obtained by ESPN show that Lauren repeatedly reached out to University of Utah officials, putting herself in the hands of a system that was supposed to protect and guide her through her own uncertainty.
