SIX AMERICAN WHITE RACISTS RAPED, TORTURED and FORCED A BLACK WOMAN to EAT RAT DROPPINGS
CricketLeague
BIG CREEK, W.Va. - State and federal officials decided Wednesday to pursue
state charges that carry the stiffest penalties in the brutal kidnapping and
weeklong torture of a black woman in Logan County, but the six suspects will
not face federal hate crime charges.
While hate crime charges remain an option, U.S. Attorney Charles T. Miller
said officials decided to defer to the Logan County Prosecutor Brian Abraham
in pursuing state charges that have already been filed.

"We're going to focus on the core aspect of the case that carry more
enhanced penalties," Abraham told The Associated Press.
Kidnapping carries a maximum penalty of up to life in prison and sexual
assault carries up to 35 years in prison. The maximum penalty for a hate
crime is 10 years.
"Because of the serious nature of the pending charges in Logan County, both
in the factual allegations and in the potential penalties if the defendants
are convicted ... we believe it is appropriate to defer to the Logan County
prosecutor in pursuing the state charges against the defendants," Miller
said in a prepared statement.
Megan Williams, 20, who is black, was tortured for days at a remote hillside
home in Big Creek, sexually assaulted and forced to eat rat droppings.
Williams' captors, all of them white, also choked her with a cable cord and
stabbed her in the leg while calling her a racial slur, poured hot water
over her, made her drink from a toilet and beat and sexually assaulted her
during a span of about a week, according to criminal complaints.
At one point, an assailant cut the woman's ankle with a knife and used the
N-word in telling her she was victimized because she is black, according to
the criminal complaints
It wasn't until an anonymous tip led Logan County Sheriff's deputies to the
property on Saturday that her ordeal ended. She limped toward the deputies,
her arms outstretched as she cried, "Help me!"
The Rev. Al Sharpton, president of National Action Network in New York City,
said Wednesday that he was "outraged" by the crime and commended the Logan
County Sheriff's Department for "what appears to be a thorough
investigation."
He also urged the country to pray for Williams' "full physical, emotional
and spiritual recovery."
She remained hospitalized Wednesday in Charleston.
Abraham said Williams was not a random target and that she had had a
previous relationship with Bobby Brewster, one of six suspects now in
custody.
He was charged in July with domestic battery and assault after a domestic
dispute involving the same woman.
"She obviously had some sort of social relationship," Abraham said. "That is
based on the fact that she was present at his residence on a prior date."
The Associated Press generally does not identify suspected victims of sexual
assault, but Williams and her mother, Carmen Williams, agreed to release her
name. Carmen Williams said she wanted people to know what her daughter had
endured.
The suspects in the case have previous arrest records going back several
years, according to records from Logan County Magistrate Court, and Abraham
said he had "some familiarity with all those individuals."
Since 1991, police have filed 108 criminal charges against the six.
Brewster's mother, Frankie Brewster, 49, faced the most serious charges
among them. She was charged in 1994 with first-degree murder, but pleaded
guilty to lesser charges of manslaughter and wanton endangerment. She was
released from prison in 2000 after serving five years in the death of
84-year-old Polly T. Ferrell, court records show.
In Williams' case, Frankie Brewster is charged with kidnapping, sexual
assault, malicious wounding and giving false information during a felony
investigation.
Bobby Brewster, 24, also of Big Creek, is charged with kidnapping, sexual
assault, malicious wounding and assault during the commission of a felony.
In March, Brewster was accused in criminal complaints of attacking his
mother with a machete at her home, according to court records. The
disposition of those charges - domestic assault, brandishing a deadly weapon
and obstructing an officer - was not immediately clear.
Danny J. Combs, 20, of Harts, is charged with sexual assault and malicious
wounding.
Karen Burton, 46, of Chapmanville was charged with malicious wounding,
battery and assault during the commission of a felony.
Burton's daughter, Alisha Burton, 23, and George A. Messer, 27, both of
Chapmanville, are charged with assault during the commission of a felony and
battery. She previously faced charges of assault during the commission of a
felony and battery; in May, she was accused of striking Messer with a shovel
and smashing the window of a woman's car. The charges are pending.
All six remained in custody Wednesday on $100,000 bail each. Bobby Brewster
is scheduled to appear before a Logan County Circuit Court judge on Monday
to be arraigned on the kidnapping charge, according to court records. A date
for his mother's appearance on the kidnapping charge has not yet been set.
Public Defender Dwyane Adkins, appointed to represent Bobby Brewster, and
Public Defender Betty Gregory, appointed to represent Karen Burton, declined
to comment on the case. The other defendants' court-appointed lawyers were
either in hearings or did not immediately return telephone calls Wednesday.

lproudamerican,
I APPRECIATE your PATRIOTISM to the GREAT NATION OF AMERICA just like mine.
It is "Per se" and NOT "Per say" (Sorry I usually dont pick on spellings but
you deserved it in this case). I wish our teachers in schools are doing a
better job of educating trash like you into treating every human being
equally instead of treating them based on their SKIN COLOR.
I wonder why those SIX RACISTS in West Virginia PICKED a "black woman" to
RAPE, TORTURE and FORCED HER to EAT RAT DROPPINGS and DRINK TOILET WATER.
Just because the prosecutors does not want to charge is a hate crime does
NOT mean it is NOT a hate crime. Prosecutors rightly want to SEND those
RACIST FUCKS to prison for a long time as per the news I read.
There is MORE COVERAGE about Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and
Katie Holmes on our TV channels than this DISGUSTING RACIST INCIDENT.
We are supposed to be the Worlds MOST DEVELOPED COUNTRY and we still have SO
MUCH RACISM in USA.

Why would the SIX RACISTS call her a RACIAL SLUR if the woman just happened
to be black ??

First off, I am not a racist. I just tell it like it is. The facts are what
they are . I have black friends that are very good people. I am bi racial.
As for per say , well I did screw that up . oh well.
Them sick fucks that did that are just that , SICK FUCKS.
I just do not see it as being an attack on a black lady. I think, from what
I read about it, that it was just a crime of opportunity, could have been
any race . Whoever was there at the right time.
I only read one statement having to do with race and the woman said that
only one person, a girl, called her nigger. The others just seemed to be
interested in being sick fucks.
If it were a racist thing then the others would have been calling her names
as well.
No matter, they all need to be killed. If I was the cop who walked in there
they would not be going to trial.

Just because a person who is a sick fucking weirdo uses the word nigger does
not mean that they did what they did because the woman was black. If there
is a background of racism from this person then I would be inclined to agree
with you.

no I do not know their backgrounds. I am just going by what the woman said
happened to her. she said that the woman called her racist names. This is to
be expected from such people.
It still does not mean that they did it because she was black.
I think they would have done it to any woman they found in the right place
at the right time.
Still racist or not they are some sick fucks.
And as far as Britney and Paris goes. Damn I will be glad when them skanks
get out of the news. I do agree with you on that
CricketLeague
You NEITHER know those RACISTS' backgrounds NOR you can read their minds
like God.
So dont post comments as if you do.
NO EXCUSES. PERIOD.

IS THAT NOT WHAT I SAID ?
I am real sure that if it was a race thing that all of them would have been
calling her racist names.
Racism is always going to be here no matter what. I have encountered more
racism from blacks and mexicans than I have have seen from whites towards
anyone else. Most blacks are racist towards whites. It is just a fact. Most
mexicans are racist towards all who are not mexican. Just a fact.
Get over it. It is not going away.
We just have to live with it not like it.
