Weathers initially claimed he was acting in self-defense and his gun went off by mistake. He said Stough got in his vehicle and demanded money. Stough died from a gunshot wound to the left underarm.

The prosecutor’s office alleged that Weathers knew the victim and the crime took place in an area known to be frequented by sex workers.

It’s often a safe assumption that unless evidence says otherwise a man murdering a trans woman he doesn’t know is in some way using her for sex before killing her

Paragons of Virtue Arrested

It's time to name and shame the self-proclaimed paragons of virtue. Keep it civil, though.

Stories are about those who have been placed in positions of trust, and then abused that trust.

Feel free to add stories of the self-righteous from other walks of life.

New rule: With regard to stories of particularly, but not only, female teachers sexually assaulting students. Any comments similar to "where were they when I was in school" will earn you the right to find another forum.
