'Brutal, Heinous' Murder Case: Court Supervision
The alleged killers in last week's double homicide making their first appearance was the biggest thing going on in court last week.
It was a whirlwind week at the Joliet courthouse. And it started with the bond hearing for the two young women and two young men charged with a shocking double murder.
Throughout the remainder of the week, disturbing revelations about the crime and four accused of committing it—Joshua Miner, 24, Adam Landerman, 19, Bethany McKee, 18, and Alisa Massaro, 18—started piling up.
Joliet Police Chief Mike Trafton called the murders the most "brutal, heinous" case he's seen in his career.
The families of the two slain men, Terrance Rankins and Eric Glover, both 22, packed the courtroom for Monday's hearing.
But the week didn't end with Monday. A lot of other things were happening at the Will County Courthouse, such as:
- Killer Marcos Camargo taking a plea deal that should get him less than four years in prison for gunning down a 17-year-old in 2009.
- The wife of mobster Anthony "Tough Tony" Calabrese filing for divorce. Calabrese is stuck in Leavenworth doing a 62-year federal prison sentence.
- The ex-wife of former Bulls star Eddy Curry beating the rap on an aggravated battery to a child case.
- Up in federal court, Joliet white supremacist Brian Moudry was pleading guilty to torching the home of a black family who had the audacity to live on his block.
- The former principal of Laraway Elementary School getting two years probation for forging a criminal history so a convict friend could get a job.

Principal fraudulently tries to bring a felon into the school and gets a slap on the wrist.
There is a justice system for street folk, and then there is separate justice system for govt employees.

No wise crack about " another Obama voter" On this story!! I guess these were Romney voters! Why does Boozer feel that everything that is going on has anything to do with who anyone voted for?? No comment on why these 4 individuals did this to Terrance & Eric!!!! Heinous *blank stare*

Thank you! They claim the only people committing heinous crimes are black and brown people. But I know there is at least three times everyday that I see something horrible on the news and think, "Thank God it wasn't black folks...."

If you look at the circumstances, I believe it's fair. Really , do you think he deserves life like Chris vaghn? Camargo didn't plan to kill anyone when he woke up, that's y he got 2nd degree. He was not planning a murder or setting up a robbery. Life came at him with a choice and someone lost thier lives. That's y I believe our judicial system is the best, every case is its own individual entity. People r so naive with comments like , look him up forever n throw away the key , haha. When it's all said and done minor gonna get life, lender man probly get 60 to 80 n the girls gonna get like around 40. That's y I said everything is individual.

If Illinois had death penalty then minor should get it but they don't , so sorry , maybe vote for the death penalty instead of being sensitive.

Negative AV ! It's shorthand just like your name , obviously your hiding behind a pen name. Your weak just like most people on here that bash someone and hide behind a dumb moniker. Being smart is not a requirement of the patch so feel free to continue commenting

As long as this pathetic, corrupt, Democratic State of Illinois chooses to be Civilized in punishing people who deserve DEATH...Do Not Expect To See a Decline In Crime! Just look at the line up Illinois gave you...Obama, Hillary Clinton, Gov Quinn, Rham Emanuel...and NO-ONE seems to care!

The killers in the double murder are less than human. They are cruel - probably were the kind of children who torture animals.

These killers are your average next door neighbor..they look no different than the rest of the kids,adults running around..this is the reality of it.we can label all of them and call them what we like "devils" what ever but they are just people..who have commited a murder...ini this world we have this,they are no different than others that have done this exact same thing.lure people to a place and try to rob them and end up killing them..this is not the first time this has happened...murder is so apart of people that we have different classifications of murder..educate your family members to reality,teach them to be prepared,not scared.teach them to not put them selves in certain situations,
