Post Another sentenced in torture case

07-17-2008 11:55 PM

Bobby Brewster


Last year, we were horrified to hear the what happened to a 20-year-old Megan Williams, who was beaten, stabbed, sexually assaulted and made to eat feces over the course of one week while being held in captivity. Megan Williams was targeted because she was black.
In past several months, 5 of these attackers have been sentenced to prison time.
Now, a 6th has been sentenced for his part in the crime. Bobby Brewster has pleaded guilty to second-degree sexual assault, malicious assault and conspiracy to commit kidnapping. Brewster has been sentenced to 13 to 40 years in prison for his involvement in this crime.
All 6 in the home during the torture have now been convicted for their crimes. A seventh person, later charged for his role in this horrible case. His trial begins in September.

Well, this is not great because personally I think they should get a life sentence for what they did to that woman but that not being reality this is some form of justice.
