Republicans Responsible for the Death of an Innocent Person Homicide Criminal Scandals

Murdered his fiancée, dismembered her body and stuffed her in a large plastic bag which he discarded near a bridge

Kidnapped and murdered her ex-daughter-in-law and another woman with the help of three other members of an anti-government group over a custody dispute involving her grandchildren

Sexually tortured another man with an inanimate object and then murdered him with a hammer

Punched and strangled his victim so severely it caused multiple brain bleeds resulting in his eventual death several days later

Swerved off the road and crashed his motorcycle killing his girlfriend who was riding with him while under the influence of alcohol and a cocktail of illicit and unprescribed pharmaceutical drugs including amphetamine, tramadol and oxycodone

Shot a 12-year-old girl in the head and then buried her body after kidnapping her from her home

Shot his wife through the passenger seat of a car her close friend was driving shortly after he asked her for his .38 revolver from the center console claiming there was a danger that did not exist and suspiciously tried to get her friend to lie to police about it in a trial in which prosecutors described his life as ""spinning out of control" due to financial troubles that killing her would resolve

Murdered his wife by forcefully striking her in the head with a flower pot and then dumped her in a nearby creek

Shot an unarmed tenant five times as he tried to flee from her resulting in his death and then lied to police and claimed self-defense which State's Attorney Michelle Manning refuted because video surveillance clearly showed her victim was aggressive towards her in "no way, shape, or form"

Shot and killed an unarmed protester with an AR-15 rifle and then shot two more protesters -- killing one -- who acted presumably as "good guys" to stop him from shooting more people for which he was tried but found not guilty by self-defense due to various factors including presumably appearing as a very sympathetic defendant to the jury

Fatally struck a pedestrian and kept driving while dragging their body along for a period of time which police questioned how he could have missed since his victim's "face was [on his] windshield," their broken glasses somehow got into his car and their flashlight was later found still illuminating and investigators later determined he was browsing his phone likely just beforehand which is probably why he left the scene and called 911 with the excuse that he thought he hit a deer

Killed a 19-year-old after he drunkenly barreled through a stop sign and crashed into his victim's car and then admitted to police that he drank 10-12 beers not long before his crash

Carelessly tossed a loaded rifle on the backseat of his truck which accidentally discharged and instantly killed his hunting partner while also being a firearm safety instructor who should have known better

Crashed head-on into a 70-year-old woman's car at 89 MPH resulting in her instant death and struck another car causing it to roll onto its side after dangerously attempting to pass the car in front of him on a two-lane highway

Had his longtime friend murder his ex-wife and her father at their home out of a bitter custody dispute over their young son in which she planned to move out of the state away from him but unfortunately was too late

Intentionally shot and killed his former fiancé months after she sought and received a protective restraining order against him
