SEC=UGA Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Bobby Maurice Tillman, the Georgia teen stomped to death outside a home where a party was being held, died from a lacerated heart, Douglas County Coroner Randy Daniel told CNN Tuesday. He said the 18-year-old likely suffered a break in a rib bone, which in turn punctured his heart. If the young man had not been stomped, he probably would not have been injured in that way and would have survived the beating, Daniel added. Police say Horace Damon Coleman, 19, Emanuel Benjamin Boykins, 18, Quantez Devonta Mallory, 18, and Tracen Franklin, 19, stomped and beat Tillman outside a party in metro Atlanta over the weekend. The four men are facing felony murder charges. Douglas County Sheriff Phil Miller has said the attack happened after some girls got into a fight, and one of them hit a boy. That boy, according to Miller, said he wasn't going to "hit a girl," but the next guy who came by was going to get "beat down." Tillman walked by. Miller said the victim was a "little guy, 18 years old, 5-foot-6, weighed 125 pounds." "He was small in stature, but ... his spirit and his strength were bigger to me than this world," Tillman's mother, Monique Rivarde, told CNN Tuesday. "My son was bullied by four cowards." No drugs or alcohol were found at the scene, according to the sheriff, who said he doesn't expect any more charges in the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEC=UGA Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 The only good in this entire thing is that they have 57 witnesses, all of whom they apparently bussed to the police station and got corroborating statements from. They have these guys stating that they were going to take this action, premeditation and they have all 4 of them in custody. Air tight case, these kids guys should face a firing squad.

TimC Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Sad. On a related note: I had jury duty last week. Guy was a felon and shot off a gun into the air 3 or 4 times after grabbing it from her girlfriend to break up a fight between his girlfriend and his cousin (another girl) at a family reunion. His cousin only wanted an apology from them. They wouldn't give it so they called 9-1-1 to turn them in. Only 4 or 5 of the 30 witnesses came forward. Guy immediately left the party and was pulled over an hour or so later. Girlfriend testified and pleaded the fifth...we guessed she was arrested and is up next for her crimes. The cousin, her mother and grandmother all through the guy under the bus when testifying. We gave hm 3 years (out of a possible 5) for possession of a firearm as a felon and 6 months (of a possible year) for firing the firearm in a reckless manner. Bottom line is...don't let a girl send yer ass to prison for goodness knows how long. They ain't worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She, like the rest of the family, are pinning this on him. Afterall, he possessed and fired the weapon, recklessly. Plus, she probably has never been convicted of a felony.

They probably got her for something...who knows....she may have been a convicted felon also. She plead da fif. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
