Content is slightly NSFW.  This man raped a homeless woman with a bottle.  He had the balls to go and repeal his sentence, so the new jury gave him an even worse one.  I knew karma was a jabroni, but damn she got fangs, claws, and she breathe fire.

Guy should've just kept his original sentence and not appealed [would've been out in a couple decades]; now he's never going free. 

 

But even without his past convictions being considered (though they should've been an indicator that he's dangerous), yeah, he deserved to be locked up. I don't know if the court actually did (let's assume the affirmative and proved that they carry same degree of severity across state boundaries).

I have no idea how I hadn't heard about this, damn. Happened in my city.

funk that dude though. Got what he deserved.

This article puts an emphasis on Daniel Bryan Kelley, the defendant on trial, the rapist. It never mentions the name of his victim, "the homeless woman who used a wheelchair", because she in fact does not matter to the citizens of Tulsa County. 

 

The fact that there was nowhere in Tulsa to shelter and care for this woman who depended on a wheelchair put her in a position of extreme vulnerability, not just to criminals but to the elements and rigours of living on the street that are deadly enough for the able-bodied, that's what killed her. She's dead now, the Tulsa County condemned her to death before giving her rapist life behind bars. If that's to do her justice, it's too little too late. If she mattered, she wouldn't have been forced into homelessness while depending on a wheelchair, the rape wouldn't have happened, she wouldn't have died, she would have been mentioned by name in this article, she would've been more than a footnote in the trial of her rapist.

Yeah, the article didn't mention her name (nor the man who Kelley punched when he intervened in the matter). Maybe due to privacy concerns (family requested her identity not be noted) or something else; we don't know. It also doesn't say whether this lady died from conditions on the street as you say or Kelley's actions directly contributed to it.

 

You would have to ask the jury in the first trial why they couldn't give Kelley a harsher punishment the first time, if he contributed to her death before the hearing (which might've added on additional charges that'd warrant life at that point, in addition to his past). 

 

IIRC there was another article soon after saying that he'd be sentenced to life that day. I don't know if that article says anything else about the victim.

On a sidenote, homelessness is a major issue in this country wherever you go due to various issues; not isolated to only one area, and yeah, many of them are disabled or cannot hope to survive for long. Also because shelters are at capacity and/or some don't want the help. (Though, this issue is better discussed in another topic)

 

If she weren't living on the street, this might've not happened to her, but we'd likely hear about a different person instead.

True. If not you, then it'll be someone else. Keep that in mind whenever you ask, "Why me? Why her? Why him?"

 

Note that I do not condone this guy's actions because of that fact, what he did was horrible and he deserved every last bit of his life sentence from the moment he did that thing.
