Brothers and sisters in Christ, I hope THIS story has the same effect on you that it had on me. I am offering shouts of Praise and Glory to Jesus for making me normal, and not a rabid crippled nigroid perverted lezbean maniac. With a chainsaw.
This sounds like a good place to set up a branch church....
Lesbian accused of chainsaw murder
The trial in South Dakota of a deaf, black lesbian accused of murdering a rival and dismembering her with a chainsaw has shocked the rural Midwestern US state.
Daphne Wright, 43, could become the first woman sent to death row in South Dakota, which has not executed a prisoner in more than 60 years.
Wright is accused of kidnapping and murdering a heterosexual deaf woman, Darlene VanderGiesen, 42, whom she thought was spending too much time with her girlfriend.
Emotional testimony and gruesome exhibits filled the first week of her trial, and worse is to come: prosecutors are expected to show jurors a video of a pig being dismembered with the same type of chainsaw Wright bought two days after VanderGiesen disappeared.
VanderGiesen's mother sobbed and stepped out of the courtroom as jurors passed around her daughter's charred brassiere on Thursday.
But she managed to sit stoically as a maintenance worker described finding her daughter's head and navel wrapped in bags and bed sheets that other witnesses linked to Wright.
Flecks of VanderGiesen's bone and tissue were found hidden under a coat of fresh paint in Wright's basement, where the smell of petrol lingered days after VanderGiesen's charred remains were left in a nearby dumpster and in a steep ravine 30 kilometers away, police testified.
Prosecutors said a vengeful Wright persuaded VanderGiesen to meet her and to enter her car on February 1, 2006. Wright then killed her with either a blow to the head or by suffocation, according to prosecutors.
After two days spent scrounging up money to buy a chainsaw, Wright chopped up the body at the knees and navel and disposed of the pieces, prosecutor Dave Nelson said in opening statements last week.
Wright acknowledged to police that she thought VanderGiesen was trying to destroy her relationship with girlfriend Sallie Collins, but said they reconciled after a confrontation.
She denied harming the woman, though her story changed several times while talking to police.
Public defender Traci Smith told jurors the state had no evidence that Wright kidnapped or murdered VanderGiesen, and said police had failed to follow leads pointing to other suspects.
She said the emails were not evidence of a motive for the horrific slaying.
VanderGiesen was reported missing on February 3, 2006, after she failed to show up at work for two days and police learned that her truck had not moved from a Pizza Hut parking lot.
The defense has questioned the fairness of the trial because no one in the pool of 150 perspective jurors was African-American.
Just 1.5 per cent of Minnehaha County residents are black.
