Sammie Speigner’s Killer Gets 21 Years  Wow! Judge Clyde Jones
must feel strongly about keeping murderers off the streets — he
gave Sammie Speigner’s killer a big one year over the minimum
sentence. This even though Raymond Carlisle pulled a gun, chased
Prof. Speigner from his car, and then shot him when the Prof got
back to his car and tried to drive away. Then Carlisle took
Prof. Speigner’s wallet and his car and left him to bleed to
death. Carlisle’s excuse? Why, gay panic, of course. And it
worked, by God. First, he was convicted of the lesser charge of
felony murder rather than capital murder, and now he gets a mere
21 years, out of a possible 20-99 year range, for taking a man’s
life. He’ll be eligible for parole in 10. Way to be tough on
crime, Judge Jones.  2 Responses to “Sammie Speigner’s Killer
