Jury Selection Underway For Man Charged In Murder Of News Anchor From Greenville

Vance_Trial_Today.jpg


LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A man accused of killing a popular Arkansas television personality is going on trial. Jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday in Little Rock in the trial of Curtis Lavelle Vance. He has pleaded not guilty to capital murder, rape and burglary. KATV-Little Rock anchorwoman Anne Pressly was found beaten in her bed in October 2008. She died days later without regaining consciousness.

Of the 100 or so prospective jurors summoned for a capital murder trial, only one told a judge that she had never heard of Anne Pressly and her grisly death a year ago.

Witnesses expected to testify were brought into court Monday and potential jurors were asked to identify any connections to them. Casual acquaintances were allowed to stay in the pool, but those with close ties were excused.

Prosecutors say they plan to use DNA evidence and taped confessions from Vance. Defense lawyers say police coerced Vance into providing a DNA sample before his arrest. Vance said he was confused by “police trickery.“ Vance is from Marianna, about 100 miles east of Little Rock. He could face the death penalty if convicted. Pressly was raised in Greenville County, and moved to Arkansas in her teen years.
 
Slow death for the nigger!!
 
Trial underway for this evil, raping, murdering, filthy, dark-skinned hellhound!!

Emotional Testimony From Pressly's Mother in Day Three of Trialposted 11/05/09 11:56 pm VIDEO



Little Rock, AR -
Anne Pressly's mother took the stand Wednesday, giving emotional testimony in day three of Curtis Vance's capital murder trial. The first person to find 26-year -old Anne Pressly badly beaten, is the person the prosecution says was her best friend, her mother, Patti Cannady. She called Pressly several times to wake her up for her early morning shift before going to check on her daughter. When she found her daughter, she said, "It was horrific. I couldn't imagine what I was seeing… I couldn't recognize my own daughter." She says she told her, "Momma's here, Momma's here" and says she is still in shock from the ordeal.

Another witness, sexual assault nurse examiner, Carla Jackson, took the stand saying Pressly suffered trauma all over her body. Jackson stated the wounds consisted of "massive massive head trauma," which ultimately caused her death.

The man who the prosecution says is responsible, 29-year-old Curtis Vance, is being charged with capital murder. They say DNA found at the crime scene and his police confessions make him guilty. (this nigger should have already been hung!!!!!) Defense attorneys disagree. They argue the police work is faulty and the pressure for authorities to make an arrest made them rush to an innocent Vance. :pity: (no such thing as an innocent nigger! They are born guilty!!) Family and friends filled the courtroom on Wednesday. Vance's family members are witnesses and are not allowed to speak to the media. Pressly's friends could and remember her spirit.

(Danny Joe Crawford, Friend of Anne Pressly) "Her friends being there was a true testament to how loved she was."

Court wrapped up around 5:30 Wednesday evening. Jurors were told to go home, not watch news or read the newspaper, and be back in court at 9:30 AM Thursday.

The state is seeking a death penalty sentence. It is still unclear if Vance will take the stand. So far 5 witnesses including an ER doctor, nurse, and police officers have taken the stand.
 
Nigger's trial continues. Defense attempts to explain DNA evidence left by nigger Vance.

Lab Expert Testifies in Vance Trialposted 11/06/09 5:14 pm




Little Rock - The chief niggerologist, er, criminologist at the Arkansas Crime Laboratory told jurors at a capital murder trial that hair similar to that of Curtis Vance was found in bedding and on a bathrobe belonging to KATV's Anne Pressly.

Vance has pleaded not guilty to charges filed after Pressly's death in October 2008. His trial opened this week at Little Rock.

In testimony Friday, Lisa Channell acknowledged that hairs are easily transferred, and that she couldn't guarantee that the hair found in Pressly's bedroom came from Vance.

The witness also said that a swab taking during a rape examination tested positive for semen.

Channell testified only about forensic evidence, not DNA. Prosecutors have said DNA evidence links Vance to the Pressly killing.
 
Nigger Vance's lies get more absurd......

Cop: Vance Admitted Being at Pressly's Houseposted 11/09/09 Lab Expert Testifies in Vance Trial
Little Rock - A Little Rock police detective told jurors at a capital murder trial that Curtis Vance admitted being at the home of KATV's Anne Pressly the night she was killed, but said he went there only to steal a laptop computer. :rolleyes:

Detective Jason White said Vance initially denied being at Pressly's home, but then said he had been there.

According to White's testimony, Vance said he saw Pressly sleeping in her bed, and that he performed a sex act while standing nearby. The detective said Vance told him that Pressly woke up and started to fight with him, and that "he thought she might have seen him." (hang this lying ape!!)Vance has pleaded not guilty to capital murder, rape and burglary charges. He could face the death penalty if convicted during his trial, which began its second week Monday.

Such obvious lies!! Horsewhip this nigger then hang it!!!!
 
Check out the nigger Vance explanation for how his DNA and nappy hair ended up in Anne Pressley's home, LOL!! This is far fetched even for a nigger!!

"Don't believe those nigger lies"

Jurors in Vance Trial Hear Taped Interviewsposted 11/09/09 4:08 pm VIDEO | Little Rock - Jurors hearing the capital murder trial of a man charged with killing KATV's Anne Pressly heard another taped interview with the defendant Monday.

On the tape played for jurors, Curtis Vance acknowledges going to Pressly's house last year for a burglary but says "I
didn't kill that woman."

Vance has pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges. He could be executed if convicted.

When pressed how his DNA could have been found at Pressly's home, Vance told a police officer that a prostitute had performed oral sex on him earlier that evening in his car - and that his dirty laundry was in the back seat. He said he used a sock as a glove while committing a burglary, and surmised that a hair somehow fell onto the sock, then fell off inside Pressly's home.:D:rolleyes::rolleyes: of course when the nigger was lying, he first thoughts went to it's "muh dick"!!Pressly was found by her mother beaten beyond recognition on October 20, 2008. Pressly died five days later.

Personally, I don't think niggers are deserving of a trial like a white man would get. A white judge should look at the evidence and just pronounce judgement on the nigger and usually, that judgement should be death to the nigger. A nigger is a sub-human and does NOT deserve human treatment!!
 
Savage nigger shattered Arkansas Anchorwoman's Face 'Like an Egg' During Attack

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — One blow ruined her smile and others crushed the middle of her face, but the attack on television personality Anne Pressly didn't end until after her jaw was forced to the back of her head and cut off blood flow to her brain, a medical examiner said Tuesday.

Prosecutors rested their capital murder case against Curtis Lavelle Vance, 29, after testimony from the state's deputy medical examiner, who spoke about Pressly's final moments of consciousness.

Vance, of Marianna, has pleaded not guilty to murder, rape and burglary. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.

Defense lawyers questioned crime scene technicians about where they did — and did not — find blood, and asked Police Chief Stuart Thomas whether officers explored multiple theories. He said they had.

DNA specialists initially questioned by prosecutors were recalled to the stand to discuss genetic evidence gathered at the scene that didn't have a match.

Vance's legal team said it may call two additional witnesses Wednesday, then expects to rest. Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza scheduled a court session Wednesday despite the rest of the courthouse being closed for Veterans Day, and jurors could begin deliberations by the end of the day.

Dr. Stephen Erickson said an examination of Pressly's body after her death revealed that her face shattered "like an egg" during the attack. "I could feel crunchiness" while examining Pressly's face, he said. A photo he used showed her nose pushed to one side.

Erickson said some type of object likely was used during the attack — the butt of a pistol or perhaps some type of club.

Pressly, the co-host of a morning TV show who had a bit part in the President Bush biopic "W," was hit so hard that a tooth — root intact — flew to her bedroom floor. Another blow crushed bones in the middle of her face. Another shoved her jaw backward, leaving her brain starved for blood.

Injuries like Pressly's require a "high degree" of force — and end with a high degree of mortality, Erickson said.
Related Stories

Pressly, 26, was attacked early Oct. 20, 2008, at her home in Little Rock. Her mother, unable to reach Pressly by telephone, found her daughter shortly before she was due on KATV's "Daybreak" program.

CT scans taken after the attack showed that her swollen brain gradually died. By Oct. 25, 2008, the day Pressly died, her brain was so swollen that no blood could enter.

Erickson said it was possible that Pressly felt pain even after the attack — even if she couldn't have responded to anyone.

The examiner also said Pressly's left forearm had an abrasion, consistent with being held tightly, and that her left hand was swollen, blue and broken in five places.

Erickson said Pressly had injuries consistent with being raped. Defense lawyer Katherine Street, however, questioned whether they could have been caused by a medical examination. Erickson said it was possible, but said it appeared they were inflicted about the time of the attack.

On a tape played for jurors Monday, Vance told a police detective that he beat Pressly with a piece of wood that he found in her backyard — but never explained why. "I lose control, she lose control," Vance said in the February interview.

Police witnesses said DNA evidence linked Vance to Pressly's death and to a Marianna rape case in which he has pleaded not guilty.

The defense has said police duped Vance into confessing and giving officers a DNA sample to compare with evidence in the case.

Report: Man found guilty of killing Arkansas TV anchorNovember 11, 2009 5:34 p.m. EST

Pressly, 26, was found beaten and unconscious in her home, and died five days later.STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Anne Pressly found beaten, unconscious in her home in October 2008, later dies
On Wednesday, jury deliberates slightly more than two hours in murder trial
Curtis Lavelle Vance, nigger, convicted of of murder, robbery, rape, theft, could face death penalty

(CNN) -- After deliberating slightly more than two hours, a jury Wednesday found a man guilty of capital murder and other charges in the October 2008 death of Arkansas television anchor Anne Pressly, according to CNN affiliate KARK-TV.
t1larg.pressly.jpg

Curtis Lavelle Vance, nigger, 29, was convicted of capital murder, residential burglary, rape and theft of property, the station reported. A sentencing phase will determine whether he receives life in prison or the death penalty.

Pressly, 26, the morning news anchor for Little Rock, Arkansas, television station and CNN affiliate KATV, was found badly beaten and unconscious in her home. She died five days later.

Vance, nigger, had pleaded not guilty to charges in Pressly's death. He was linked to the killing through DNA, however, and police said at the time of his arrest last year they were "110 percent" sure he was guilty.

Vance, nigger, had given several statements to police, including one saying he was at Pressly's home and another admitting to her murder. Defense attorney Steve Morley told CNN affiliate WREG as Vance's trial began earlier this month that such evidence presented an obstacle for the defense, but said he hoped jurors could be persuaded to spare his client's life.

KARK reported that jurors heard recordings in which Vance, nigger, apparently confessed to beating Pressly with a piece of wood.

Pressly's mother, Patti Cannady, told NBC last year her daughter fought hard for her life, breaking her left hand in the process.

"I found my daughter beyond recognition, with every bone in her face broken, her nose broken, her jaw pulverized so badly that the bone had come out of it," Cannady said. "I actually thought that her throat had possibly been cut. Her entire skull had numerous fractures from which she suffered a massive stroke."

Prosecutors and the defense rested their cases Tuesday after jurors heard testimony from a medical examiner describing the beating that led to Pressly's death, KARK said.

Vance the nigger showed little reaction as the verdict was read, but Pressly's mother and relatives sobbed and embraced, KARK reporter Pete Thompson said.

DNA evidence has also tied Vance the nigger to a rape in April 2008 in Marianna, Arkansas, about 90 miles east of Little Rock, police said in December.

Lt. Terry Hastings, spokesman for Little Rock police, has said investigators found no link between Pressly and Vance the nigger and they do not believe Pressly's being on TV had anything to do with the killing.

"I think he saw her someplace, probably followed her home with intention of robbing her. And then went from there," he said.

The killer also took Pressly's purse, Hastings said.

Since CNN declined to indentify Vance as a nigger, I did so for them!!

Death Penalty Weighed in Murder of TV Anchor
Thursday, November 12, 2009


Nov. 10: Curtis Lavelle Vance arrives at court in Little Rock, Ark.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A jury that convicted a man of capital murder in the beating death of an Arkansas TV anchorwoman will weigh Thursday whether to impose the death penalty.

Jurors found Curtis Lavelle Vance guilty Wednesday in an assault on KATV host Anne Pressly at her Little Rock bungalow on Oct. 20, 2008. The attack shattered her face and sent her into a coma. Pressly never regained consciousness and died five days later.

Vance, 29, of Marianna, also was convicted of residential burglary along with rape and theft of property.

Jurors deciding on his penalty could also sentence him to life in prison without the possibility of parole. If the jury cannot settle on a penalty, Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza must impose the life sentence.

Prosecution witnesses said DNA evidence linked Vance to Pressly's death and to a separate rape case in which he has pleaded not guilty. The defense has said police duped Vance into confessing and giving officers a DNA sample to compare with evidence in the case.:rolleyes:
During the penalty phase that began Wednesday, Pressly's mother, Patti Cannady, said that after the death of her only child she ripped up many family photos because she didn't have anyone to give them to.

"Oh, Lord Jesus, how I wish it were me and not Anne," Cannady said.

A lawyer for the state Department of Human Services read from agency documents that revealed a troubled youth for Vance. One of Vance's aunts also testified that Vance's mother had been addicted to crack and lived for a time in a Memphis, Tenn., homeless shelter after asking her mother to raise her children. (raise your hand if you give a s*hit about this nigger, thought so! No hands raised in the forum!!)As Vance left the courthouse, family members shouted "Love ya, Lavelle!" and he said "Love you!"

Then he shouted, "It's a corrupted system!" :mad::mad: (well, nigger, we can agree on that! If the system worked, you would have already been long ago hung and buried for your crime against Anne!!!)

Curtis Lavelle Vance, convicted in slaying of Anne Pressly, faced death penalty
Doctors, mother testify about Vance's abuse as a child, possible brain damage
"There really aren't any winners tonight," Pressly's stepfather says of case

(CNN) -- A jury sentenced an Arkansas man to life in prison without parole for killing a television anchor, officials said Thursday.

The Pulaski County, Arkansas, jury on Wednesday convicted Curtis Lavelle Vance, 29, of capital murder, residential burglary, rape and theft of property in the October 2008 slaying of Anne Pressly, 26.

Pressly, the morning news anchor for CNN affiliate KATV, was found beaten and unconscious in her home. She died five days later.

Vance's sentencing phase began after he was convicted Wednesday of capital murder, rape and burglary.

Jurors were tasked with deciding whether the aggravating circumstances in favor of the death penalty outweighed the mitigating circumstances.

"Tonight, they have come back with a sentence, a sentence that they believe, and we share with them, is the harshest possible sentence for this gentleman (sir, please do not call raping, murdering, lying niggers by the term, gentlemen!!! Thanks you and very sorry about your daughter, Anne. We here at Newnation share in your grief. The nigger should have been executed forthwith!!!) going forward, where he will now spend the rest of his natural life in a 6-by-9 cell with nothing to think about but what he has done," said Guy Cannady, stepfather of the victim. (this would be severe punishment for a white man but for a nigger, it is trading up!! Hang this nigger!!)
"It's not until he's carried out of Tucker Max in a pine box will he really meet his true judgment," Cannady added, referring to Arkansas' Tucker Maximum Security Prison.

He said he was not disappointed that Vance did not receive the death penalty.:confused::confused:
Prosecutor Larry Jegley said the jury gave Vance "everything they could give him except the death penalty."

Asked if there were too many mitigating circumstances, Jegley said, "I don't know. I can't speak for the jury. Cases like this, all you can do is put 'em in front of 12 good people and ask them to follow the evidence and do what their conscience demands." (I am certain there were some niggers on the jury so of course it was FUBAR!!)
Attempts by CNN to reach members of Vance's defense team were unsuccessful Wednesday and Thursday.

"There really aren't any winners tonight," Cannady said. "Nothing that's been done here will ever bring Anne back. We'll never see her smile, we'll never hear her laugh, we'll never know the joy of her presence with us until we see her again in heaven."

Among the defense witnesses presented Thursday was Vance's mother, Jacqueline Vance Burnett, CNN affiliate KARK reported. Burnett cried on the stand as she spoke about her battle with crack addiction and admitted abusing her son when he was a child, including an incident when he was 7 years old and she slammed his head into a brick wall, the station said.

A doctor testified earlier Thursday that Vance had told him school was easy for him before that incident, but difficult afterward. Both doctors said they believe Vance has frontal lobe damage to his brain as well as cognitive impairment, according to KARK. (such typical nigger BS here!! Any excuse will work to explain why niggers rape and kill white women!!!! ARRR!!)
Vance was linked to the killing through DNA, however, and police said at the time of his arrest last year they were "110 percent" sure he was guilty.

He had given several statements to police, including one saying he was at Pressly's home and another admitting to her murder. Defense attorney Steve Morley told CNN affiliate WREG as Vance's trial began earlier this month that such evidence presented an obstacle for the defense, but said he hoped jurors could be persuaded to spare his client's life.

"I actually thought that her throat had possibly been cut. Her entire skull had numerous fractures from which she suffered a massive stroke." (hate niggers yet???)DNA evidence has also tied Vance to a rape in April 2008 in Marianna, Arkansas, about 90 miles east of Little Rock, police said in December.

Sad ending for a horrible TNB episode! Public hanging of the nigger was the only way this should have ended!!!! We live in sad times today if you are a member of the white race!! War has been declared upon us and our own leaders have totally sold us OUT!!!! Gman

I saw the parents on ABC's national morning show this morning. They were interviewed by the token niggress. They were very disappointing in their statements, etc.

One of the woman's friends has written a book about the victim to cover over the crime and talk about her wonderful life, etc.

The parents of slain local TV news anchorwoman Anne Pressly said today that while they were initially disappointed that a jury sentenced her killer to life in prison instead of death, they now accept that it was the best choice.

In an effort to draw attention to Pressly's life and career and away from her vicious murder, Pressly's colleagues released the book "Making Memories, A Celebration of the Life of Anne Pressly."

Proceeds will benefit the Anne Pressly Memorial Scholarship Fund, which will assist women pursuing careers in broadcast journalism.

Why is there a Vest on the perp, and who has mandated this, one of the N.K.V.D. outfits ? If some one was going to do something to a perp in custody it would not stop them, so for what reason is this done ?

Why are tax payers paying for this ? Could it be that our U.N. victory of August 1945 has led US to the all blessing's we see today ?

How many folks today understand nor care that the Japanese surrender on the deck of the Mighty MO was a U.N. document ?

Almost every Congoid you read about has a mental condition/low I.Q. etc when it comes to a capital crime. The S.C.O.T.U.S. ruled five "?" years ago that convicted savages with an I.Q. below 70 is to be retarded so it can not be given the death penalty, so now could this be the real reason they are reluctant to give out a death sentence because it brings out the issue of I.Q. and being retarded ?

Looks like this nigger is facing another rape case.

Little Rock - The Marianna rape trial of the man convicted of killing a Little Rock TV anchorwoman has been postponed.

Trial for Curtis Vance had been scheduled for trial Monday, but a judge agreed to a delay until Nov. 1. Vance is accused in the 2008 rape of a woman in her Marianna home.

Vance was convicted Nov. 11 of capital murder for the Oct. 20,2008, attack on KATV anchorwoman Anne Pressly, who died five days after being beaten. Vance is sentenced to life in prison.

Among the witnesses in Vance's murder trial was his alleged victim from Marianna. Prosecutors said there were similarities between the attacks.

Vance has pleaded not guilty to the rape charge and is appealing his murder conviction to the Arkansas Supreme Court.

It would be an interesting statistic to find out how many of these niggers "retarded" under the law were given high school, ged, or even college diplomas. While I am sure a lot of them were high school drop out or throw outs, it would be interesting to see where we put the bar for high school graduation for niggers, and how many of them can even meet that standard.

BTW I saw an interesting case in Virginia, I think, which I forgot to bookmark. While the nigger's IQ was (unsurprisingly) below 70, they were considering "adaptive" intelligence as a contributing measure. They found when the cops who were questioning him disproved his story, he was "smart enough" to change his story to something else.

It was the Courts conclusion that this indicated he had enough of a clue as to what was going on that he could not be considered clueless or oblivious, as a retard implies, so upheld the the death sentence.
 
Most retarded people know right from wrong. Mental retardation is not connected to insanity or psychopathology. Retarded people as a group commit crimes at a far lower rate than the rest of the population. But supposed "retardation" is certainly a handy tool for ACLU lawyers to use to protect killers.

I suspect the IQ of the average Negro in America is well below 90 anyway, so if 70 is the cutoff, probably a fourth of Negroes are immune from the death penalty.
