This Comment of the Day comes from MeMe, who wrote in about Darius Cannon
It hurts to see your brothers & sisters in pain. Your MOM and TWIN will never be the same. I’m praying to God that justice will be served. Who ever took it upon themselves to take your life has got to feel like the biggest scum the earth! I know they’ve heard by now that you were a good kid, you were loved by your family, the community & your peers. These senseless killings have to stop! Now this “killer” shot Darius outside IN PUBLIC not even 2 blocks away from the police station. I just knew some of these fools would learn from first 48, & Homicide Watch D.C. that you can run but you can’t hide.
Praying for the family, The Police & The person who murdered you.
R.I.P. Darius.

This Comment of the Day come from Anonymous for good reason who writes in about Lucki Pannell:
Oh, how my heart hurts today! 2 years, 3 suspects, no arrests. Why? I just really wish that people could solve their problems without violence. If they could, you’d still be here, and would have experienced everything a High School Senior should have. There’s such a whole in my heart when I think about you. My son hugged me so tight today when he left for school. He could tell I was so sad.

This is just Crazy….The guy admitted to shooting “Q”, but the judge suppressed the evidence…..There allowing PCP to be an excuse for his behavior, but have the nerve to say someone else did it……Just disrespectful….The Judge and the Jurors that couldn’t come to a decision let that have been your family member or son you would want justice…RIP Q…Miss you Cuz…..Never Forgotten.
A new trial is scheduled to begin on Aug. 19.
