  • Brian Draper’s MySpace revisited

    Maintenance of Convicted Killer Brian Draper’s Myspace Page in Question:

    Not too long ago I posted about the MySpace of convicted killer, lifer, and mutant Brian Draper. Draper is one of the teen killers convicted in the 2006 slashing death of someone whom they called their friend, Cassie Jo Stoddart.

    I theorized that his MySpace was obviously written by either a member of his family or an advocate who believes that teens should never be charged as adults. I came to that hypothesis after I noticed the proper grammar which I doubt Draper has and the fact that prison inmates usually don’t have access to the internet. It seems that one of my readers tipped off the local media to Draper’s MySpace.

    We’ve previously reported on a website that supports Torey Adamcik’s innocence called Voices for Torey. Thanks to a viewer, we tracked down a commentary page that negatively outlines the possibility of Brian Draper updating his myspace page from prison.

    Earlier this month, “A Murderer’s Disguise” was posted on the website called The Trenchcoat Chronicles. On it, Trench Reynolds debunks the idea that Draper can access the internet saying, among other things, that the two teenagers have become poster boys for people who believe teens should not be charged as adults. Reynolds simply states that someone else must be maintaining the personal page.

    KPVI then followed up on my assumptions and called the Idaho Department of Corrections. They have confirmed that inmates do not have access to the internet. So is it being maintained by family or an advocate? Is Draper actually in the programs that he claims and is it just for show?

    None of this could have been possible if it wasn’t for the watchful eye of Mr. A who brought my attention to Draper’s MySpace in the first place.

  • A murderer’s disguise

    Mr. A shot me an e-mail the other day saying that he found the MySpace of Brian Draper. For those of you who don’t know Brian Draper and his cohort Torey Adamcik were two teens sentenced to life in prison for the brutal murder of 16-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart.

    Draper is not only a vicious killer but he’s also an admitted mutant, the term I use for ‘fans’ of Columbine.

    I figured that the MySpace was probably a leftover before he went into prison and probably contained the incoherent ramblings of a teenage monster. Imagine my surprise when this is what I stumble on.

    Many things have happened since the last time I updated this page: I have moved to the prison in Boise, Idaho, and I am in a transition stage that may last a couple of weeks. Following the transition I will be moved to a new location in Boise.

    I want you all to know that I am hanging in there. Things get rough from time to time, and I don’t go a week without breaking down at least once. But overall my life is ok. I keep busy by going to religious services, attending educational classes (creative writing, computers), writing, reading and playing a lot of chess. I am also able to play the piano down at the chapel. I play piano for church services, and for an hour a week I can play the piano in solitude. I wrote a song dedicated to everything that has happened, called Sorrows and Sunrises.

    Obviously, this wasn’t written by Draper for a number of reasons. The first being I don’t think Draper could form a coherent sentenced if you spotted him the noun and the verb. Secondly, most prisons don’t allow their inmates to have access to the internet. Lastly, Draper and Adamcik have kind of become the poster boys for the people who believe that teens shouldn’t be charged as adults. For example…

    Currently I am in the appeals process, so that maybe someday I can be released and start redeeming myself on the outside, like I am doing now, on the inside. I am in the STOP program here, which is a program that brings kids into the facility, and inmates speak with them about being a good person and staying out of trouble. I am one of those inmates that speak to the kids.

    If my appeal for reduction of sentencing is thrown out, then I will be content with the life I have. We must think about what we do have, not about what we don’t have. We must set goals and strive to meet them. If I spend the rest of my life locked in a prison, I will rise above that. If God wants me to stay here, then this is where I will stay.

    I will leave you with two good sayings: “I wept because I had no shoes till I saw a man who had no feet.” “Two men looked out through prison bars; one saw mud, the other stars.”

    Thanks again for all your support, I hope and pray you are all doing well.

    I love you all, and thank you for believing in me. Never forget Cassie Jo Stoddart.

    Your friend,

    Brian

    Who I’d like to meet:

    Hemingway, Albert Einstein, Richard Wilbur, and James P. Gills

    First off he gave up any right of talking about Cassie Jo Stoddart, especially after he said this on videotape after her murder.

    “Just killed Cassie, we just left her house, this is not a f***ing joke,” says Brian Draper on the homemade videotape. “I’m shaking,” replies Adamcik.”I stabbed her in the throat and I saw her lifeless body just disappear,” says Draper.

    I highly doubt someone who did this is capable of all these ‘feel good’ statements and if he is going through all these programs I’m sure it’s all for show. I also noticed the lack of negative comments on his MySpace. Brutal killers usually get slammed with ‘see you in hell’ kind of comments which leads me to believe that not only was this crap written by someone else but it’s also being severely moderated.

    Lastly, I doubt the people he wants to meet or Hemingway and Einstein. It’s probably more like Manson, Dahmer, Harris, and Klebold.

    Someone who slashes a girls throat just for the thrills and brags about it on tape isn’t going to change his stripes this quickly let alone ever.

     

  • No accountability in Accountability Act

    HelenLovejoy

    Pocatello Attorney Talks About Juveniles Serving Life Sentences:

    Some waste of a suit in Washington, I mean a congressman from Virginia, is trying to get a law passed that would stop juveniles from being sentenced to life without parole.

    Congressman Robert Scott has introduced the Juvenile Justice Accountability and Improvement Act of 2007, otherwise known as H.R. 4300.

    Congressman Robert Scott: “Giving someone life without parole means they can’t even be considered for parole.”

    Thanks for that update, Obvious Man.

    The article then brings up Torey Adamcik and Brian Draper, two teens sentenced to life without parole for the brutal videotaped murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart.

    Adamcik’s attorney thinks this is the greatest thing since ambulances were invented…

    Aaron Thompson: “Cooperation and volunteering for all the programs that are available in prison where you can rehabilitate and work towards something where life means something on a day-to-day basis, knowing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.”

    Do you mean like the light at the end of the tunnel that Cassie Jo has to look forward too? Oh no, wait, there is no light for her because your client killed her.

    Some people say that life without parole for Adamcik is vengeance and not justice. So what? It’s not real vengeance since Adamcik is still allowed to draw breath.

    The article states that there are 2500 juveniles serving life without parole in the U.S. I wish that number was bigger. Not to mention how many of those 2500 are gang members and how many are kids like Adamcik. I bet the number of gang members is extremely disproportional to the other teen murderers.

    And speaking of gangs I guess Congressman Scott is doomed to repeat history. The reason the life without parole for juveniles came about, in my opinion, because of the gang killings of the late ’80s and early ’90s. If HR 4300 were to pass it would just be letting these dangerous felons back out on the streets but I guess he’s ok with that.

    It should be justice for the victims not rainbows and sunshine for the killers.

  • Draper’s reduced sentence request denied

    Convicted Teen Killer Tried to Have Sentence Reduced:

    When Torey Adamcik had his reduced sentence request denied in the murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart I knew his cohort would have his request denied too.

    Brian Draper tried to get his life without parole sentence changed to where he would be eligible for parole in 25 years. That request was denied with extreme prejudice…

    In the end, Judge McDermott said Brian Draper can live – Cassie can’t. He went on to say she had the worst punishment compared to the teens.

    Bravo. Justice for once.

  • Adamicik’s reduced sentence request denied

    Pocatello Teen Denied Reduced Life Sentence:

    17-year-old Torey Adamcik is one of the teens convicted in the brutal murder of 16-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart. Along with his mutant buddy Brian Draper, the pair was sentenced to life without parole. Adamcik’s attorney requested a reduced sentence. Let’s hear from the attorney in question, Aaron Thompson…

    “He is just a boy. A 17-year-old boy. A boy with absolutely no hope. A boy with absolutely no future,” said Aaron Thompson, Torey Adamcik’s Attorney.

    He’s got a hell of a lot more future than Cassie Jo Stoddart has.

    “So what if Torey is in a tiny little room? My granddaughter will never leave her casket,” said Paul Cisneros, Cassie Jo Stoddart’s grandfather.

    Anyway, the request for reduced sentencing was denied and the judge laid the ol’ legal smackdown…

    “He is guilty. He was found guilty. And he’s guilty as conduct. They jury has spoken. I don’t believe Mr. Adamcik should ever be released from prison. I’m going to deny your motion,” said Judge Peter McDermott, Bannock County.

    It’s so refreshing to see a judge tell it like it is.

    Adamcik’s cohort Draper will be in court on a similar request in 2 weeks. I’d be surprised if the scenario didn’t repeat itself.

  • Brain exam allowed for one of Cassie Jo Stoddart’s killers

    Brain exam allowed for one of Cassie Jo Stoddart’s killers

    Judge Allows Brain Exam on Adamcik:

    Congratulations to the citizens of Idaho. You’re now footing the bill for a neurological exam for an already convicted killer.

    Torey Adamcik and his mutant buddy Brian Draper were both sentenced to life without parole in the brutal murder of 16-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart. Don’t forget they also videotaped the murder.

    Now Judge Peter McDermott has allowed the request of Adamcik’s attorney for the state to pay for a brain scan because his lawyer claims that Adamcik has a ‘brain deficiency’.

    In his ruling, Judge McDumbass stated…

    “Mr. Adamcik is a needy person… He is being detained under a conviction of a serious crime, since he has been sentenced to a fixed life term without the possibility of parole. Mr. Adamcik does not have the funds, or the ability to generate the funds necessary to conduct the neuropsychological examination requested by his attorney.”

    So how is that the state’s responsibility? The state has already proved Adamcik’s role in Cassie Jo Stoddart’s murder. Why should the state now have to foot the bill for a ploy by his attorney to get his sentence reduced? If McDermott wants the test done so bad, why doesn’t he pay for it out of his own pocket? Better yet, why don’t all the people who think that he shouldn’t have been tried as an adult chip in? Oh, that’s right, they don’t put their money where their mouth is.

  • Neuro-psychological exam requested for one of Cassie Jo Stoddart’s killers

    Neuro-psychological exam requested for one of Cassie Jo Stoddart’s killers

    Exam Requested By Adamcik’s Private Counsel in Pocatello:

    I’ve posted about the murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart before. She was the 16-year-old Idaho girl who was brutally killed by two scumbags she thought were her friends, Brian Draper, and Torey Adamcik. They also videotaped her murder. Back in August, they were both sentenced to life without parole after they were tried as adults.

    Now the attorney for Adamcik is requesting that his client receive a neuro-psychological exam for his client on the taxpayer’s dime to see if he has a brain deficiency.

    Brain deficiency? Adamcik and Draper sliced Cassie Jo Stoddart to ribbons, videotaped it, and bragged about her murder on the tape. He doesn’t have a brain deficiency he has a soul deficiency and a humanity deficiency and hopefully, a judge will make sure he has a society deficiency for the rest of his life.

    Cassie Jo Stoddart’s killers sentenced

    Teens get life sentences for murdering classmate:

    The other day I posted about the brutal murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart. She was brutally murdered by two of her friends, at least one of which is a mutant. Her killers, Brian Draper, and Torey Adamcik were both sentenced to life without parole.

    Adamcik’s uncle gave the following statement during the sentencing hearing…

    “I feel very strongly that Torey is not a malicious person and that his life can yet be salvaged and that he can become a productive member of society,” said David Nelson, Adamcik’s Uncle.

    Does this sound like a productive member of society?

    “Just killed Cassie, we just left her house, this is not a f***ing joke,” says Brian Draper on the homemade videotape. “I’m shaking,” replies Adamcik.”I stabbed her in the throat and I saw her lifeless body just disappear,” says Draper.

    Cassie’s family disagrees as well…

    “I’ve seen no remorse, no tears whatsoever from any of you and then finally when you do say something, ‘Oh we’re sorry about what happened to Cassie.’ It was the most unsympathetic, fake sorry I’ve ever heard in my life,” said Anna Stoddart, Cassie’s mother.

    “You chose to do what you did, you chose not to walk away, you chose to cover the truth of your actions. You chose to leave Cassie dead in that house for days,” said Christie Stoddart, Cassie’s sister.

    Like most mutants, they’re probably only sorry that they got caught.

    State Presents Sentencing Recommendation for Draper:

    I hadn’t heard about the murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart until today. She was a 16-year-old Idaho girl who was brutally murdered by two people she thought were her friends, Brian Draper, and Torey Adamcik. The murder was more than vicious, and the two teens actually videotaped the murder.

    “Just killed Cassie, we just left her house, this is not a f***ing joke,” says Brian Draper on the homemade videotape. “I’m shaking,” replies Adamcik.”I stabbed her in the throat and I saw her lifeless body just disappear,” says Draper.

    Both were tried as adults and convicted. Currently, they are going through the sentencing phase.

    And guess what. It turns out one of them, Brian Draper, is a full-fledged mutant.

    This is a passage written by Draper that was shown in court today. Titled Columbine, it reads: “I am becoming more and more obsessed with Columbine. It seems now that that’s all I think about. I would give anything to go back in time, and be a part of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold’s lives. They are my heroes. I will follow in their footsteps and maybe I’ll even meet them.”

    A series of some pictures that were also found on the hard drive of Draper’s laptop were displayed.

    Many were from the Columbine shooting; others depicted various ages and types of people holding a gun to their head.

    Too bad he can’t meet his heroes sooner rather than later.
