Murder charge filed in shooting

Rather one pulled the trigger and the other ordered the hit against the life of this beautiful girl, they are both guilty of activities that led to this young lady losing her life and her little baby losing his mother. They can't blame friends, acquaintances, drugs, expensive gifts etc. for the choices we make and expect to hide under the umbrella of these things. Their choices were theirs and theirs alone. Mr. Alvey could have turned that car around and taken her to the police department and asked that they protect her and protect himself as well. So Mr. Alvey is where he needs to be and Mr. Binkerd needs to spend just as much of a sentence as Mr. Alvey. They are both guilty of he same offense and both played a significant part in the loss of life for this young woman. They had no concern for the value of her life......but now they want plea deals..and again the path of least resistance. And our tax dollars will support them for their entire prison sentence. Sad that her parents must support the lives of the 2 men that took the life of their daughter. Shameful.

You are right it is very sad. I wouldn't even go as far as calling either one of them Mr. they don't deserve that, more like slime. They are both want to be's and justice will be served with both of them.

I've never read any of these type articles that don't portray the perpitrator as a "wonderful, loving person who was led astry by someone else" Please, it's always someone else's fault. Whatever the reason, he took another's life and now he has to pay the price.

Lock then up forever, If they don't these thugs will be on the streets and without doubt will hurt somone else. I would say execute them but I already know the court system doesn't have the guts to do that.
