24 y.o.gal in IA gets Life sentence for planning out & helping 2 men murder both of her Parental Units
Joe1orbit
Hello,
Over in Iowa, a 24 year old woman named Jamie Borushaski has been sentenced
to Life in prison, with no chance for parole. She was found guilty of aiding
her husband and another man, in planning out and executing the murders of BOTH
her Parental Units, in 1996.
Yup, looks like Jamie did not look back upon her childhood of slavery with
fondness. Instead, she actively hated her parents, and enjoyed planning out and
participating in their murder. She showed no emotion and made no statements at
her sentencing today.
Both Parental Units were found bound, gagged, and shot to death. Prosecutors
say that financial greed played a major role in Jamie deciding to murder her
parents, but IMO, the primary motivating factors were RAGE and hate and a
desire to HURT and DFESTROY her Parental Units. That obviously makes me
appreciate and admire this double murder all the more.
It's not clear how much of a role Jamie actually played in the murders
themselves. Did she bind and gag Mommy and Daddy? Did she shoot them to death
with her own hand, or did she leave this work to her hubby and his male
accomplice?? I wish there were more details given regarding that issue. It
sounds like Jamie participated more in the PLANNING out of this double murder,
and let the 2 men carry out the grunt work.
The triggerman testified in court that Jamie was the one who had conceived of
the plot, and urged him to make sure he successfully killed both her Mommy and
Daddy. But he apparently admitted to being the person who actually pumped the
bullets into both victims, killing them.
Jamie is maintaining her innocence, despite the conviction, and intends to
appeal. She proclaims that she loves her parents, and would "Give up my life
for them to come back". Well, since nobody can ever come back from being dead,
her proclamation is pretty darn meaningless. Oh well, it's good for Jamie to
practice her remorseful acting skills, just in case the conviction is
overturned on appeal and she gets herself a new trial.
Take care, JOE

Woman Sentenced for Parents' Deaths
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A woman was sentenced to life in prison without parole
today for helping her husband and another man plan the 1996 deaths of her
parents at the Iowa State Fair.
Jamie Borushaski, 24, of Joplin, Mo., showed no emotion and made no statements
as she received the mandatory sentence for her conviction last month of two
counts of first-degree murder.
Her parents, Bobie and Marilyn Blewer, of Pierce City, Mo., owned and operated
a funnel cake stand that appeared at state fairs across the Midwest. They were
found bound, gagged and shot to death in their camper on the fairgrounds.
Prosecutors portrayed Borushaski as a woman jealous of her younger brother and
sister and said she wanted her parents' wealth to resolve financial troubles.
Triggerman Jerimy Sneed, who pleaded guilty to federal interstate murder for
hire and is serving a life sentence, testified at her trial last month that it
was Borushaski who pushed for him to kill the couple.
Her husband, Rodney, also was convicted of first-degree murder and is serving a
life sentence.
Borushaski, who is appealing the convictions, continued to maintain her
innocence in an interview with The Des Moines Register published today.
``I want them back,'' she said. ``I would give up my life for them to come
back.''

"Anything you can dish out?" I know, that's weak, but your question
sounded like the set-up for a joke, and that was the best I could do.
Around these parts, a funnel cake stand is a booth from which funnel
cakes are sold. A funnel cake is made by pouring a rather thin batter
into a metal ring that floats in hot oil. Pour the batter in random
streams, back and forth, around and about. When it cooks on one side,
"tump" it over. The finished product is dusted with confectioner's
sugar and served hot.

Tastes like donuts with confectioner's sugar (they have cinnamon now)
sprinkled on top....yum yum. We don't go to flea markets without buying
funnel cakes, pork rinds, and kielbasa subs.

But I think something important was left out in the description above.
It's called a Funnel Cake because the batter is poured from a funnel
into the hot fat. The tube end of the funnel allows a fairly thin
stream of batter to enter the fat, and it's easy to swirl it around by
tilting the funnel this way and that. If the batter were simply dropped
into the fat, I think you'd have beignets, wouldn't you?

Yep, you're right, Martha. I did forget the part about the funnel!
(The name *does* make more sense with that bit of information, huh?)
Mmmm...beignets and coffee at the Café du Monde!

I haven't seen a funnel cake since I moved from the east coast.
YUM.
I don't think they have the same thing out here.

Heh heh..hope the heck you're not asking me that question. Beignets is not
in my dictionary, but I'll take your word for it Martha <g>

Was that you in that funnel-cake stand last summer?
