Maximum Sentences In W. Va. Torture Case:
Frankie Brewster and Karen Burton of the Megan Williams torture case have both received maximum sentences for their roles in the crime. Both had pleaded guilty in February.
Brewster received one 10-25 year sentence while Burton was sentenced to three consecutive 2-10 year sentences on assault
charges and a 10-year sentence for a civil rights charge. So in essence Burton is looking at a possible 40 years.
As long as they serve the maximum of those sentences I have no problem with this. Burton would be in her 80's and Brewster would be in her 70's.

Indictments and guilty pleas in WV torture case
2 plead guilty, 5 others indicted in torture case:
A lot of news coming out of West Virginia lately in the kidnap and torture case of Megan Williams. If you're not familiar with the case you can see my first post about it here or this search which shows the bulk of the posts related to the case.
Anyway...
Personally I could care less about6 the color of the victim or the perpetrators. The only thing I care about is justice being served for the sick depraved things these scumbags did to Megan Williams that you only normally see in over the top horror movies.

Anyway...
A Logan County grand jury handed up indictments Tuesday charging Bobby Brewster, 24; his mother, Frankie Brewster, 49, of Big Creek; Danny Combs, 20, of Harts; Karen Burton, 46, of Chapmanville; and her son, Linnie Burton Jr., in the case.
Two other defendants -- Karen Burton's daughter, 23-year-old Alisha Burton, and 27-year-old George A. Messer -- each pleaded guilty Friday to one count of kidnapping and one count of assault during the commission of a felony. Messer and Alisha Burton, both of Chapmanville, were each sentenced to concurrent prison terms of 10 years on the kidnapping charge and 2 to 10 years on the assault charge, Logan County Prosecuting Attorney Brian Abraham said.
Karen Burton is the only defendant charged with a hate crime. She also was indicted on kidnapping and malicious wounding charges.
Burton allegedly used the N-word as she stabbed Williams in the ankle, Abraham said.
