11 News Anchor Interviews Suspects Before Surrender

(Colorado Springs-AP) -- Patrick Murphy
Jr. and Donald Newbury emerged from
the hotel where they were negotiating
with authorities after police honored their
request for an interview with 11 News
anchor Eric Singer.

Colorado Springs police Lieutenant Skip
Arms said police got a
tip during the day that the men were in a
Holiday Inn that is two
blocks from a motel parking lot where
their van was found earlier
on Tuesday.

Arms said police were in telephone
contact with the two men who
claimed to be 39-year-old Patrick Murphy
Junior and 38-year-old
Donald Newbury.

Police negotiated by phone since about
10 p.m. Tuesday night.

Newbury is a 38-year-old armed robber
and Murphy is a
39-year-old convicted rapist. They were
believed to have assault
rifles and shotguns with them and may
also have bulletproof vests.

The men spoke for five minutes each with
Singer before walking out into the cold
morning air without shirts. Police
handcuffed them and put them into
separate patrol cars that slowly rolled out
of the
parking lot of the Holiday Inn.

Murphy, Newbury and five other
dangerous convicts escaped
Dec. 13 from a south Texas prison. Four
were arrested Monday in nearby
Woodland Park, while a fifth killed himself
in a motor home as authorities closed in.

Authorities believe Murphy and Newbury
split from the other five
men last weekend because they wanted
to obtain more money.

BLIND JUSTICE!

This past weekend Ray Caruth, a former NFL football player,
was found guilty of Conspiracy to commit murder in the
brutal shooting death of his pregnant girlfriend last year.
This same jury found Caruth not guilty of first-degree
murder charges.

The conspiracy laws of this country state that if two or
parties have a meeting of the minds and set about a plan of
action to commit an offence then they have committed the
offence of conspiracy to commit the crime in question.

The facts of the case as revealed during the trial
indicated that Caruth hired a hit man to do the shooting,
drove the shooter to the scene and watched as the shooter
shot and killed the girl. By the way, the girlfriend was
pregnant with Caruth's un-born child who survived the
shooting. The elements of the conspiracy were met, Caruth
and the shooter met to discuss the killing, and then did
it. GUILTY as charged!

First-degree murder: When someone premeditates the taking
of another person's life and does it. Now don't you think
that if you sit down with a hired killer and discuss the
crime, pay the killer to commit the crime, and then drive
him to the scene and watch as he does the crime that you
had premeditation to kill someone? The shooter in this case
testified to the facts of the case. Not guilty of
first-degree murder?

It is no wander that so many people today take their
chances with a jury of their peers! Does that mean that
the peers have to be as dumb as the criminal?

Caruth is only facing a maximum of 25 years in prison
because he was not found guilty of the first-degree murder
charge.

Too smart to serve on a jury.
