Danville Circuit Court Judge David Melesco found Kavion Desean Bennett guilty Wednesday on all counts relating to the April 12 shooting death of Ivory Law and wounding of Anthony Ferrell at White Rock Park.
Bennett was found guilty of first-degree murder, malicious wounding and two counts of the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
Bennett’s defense attorney, Joe Schenk, said he was “dissapointed with the outcome,“ but appreciated that Judge Melesco took time to carefully weigh all the evidence.

What a piece of garbage!! It is just incomprehensible that a human being would kill another over a dice game. This garbage should not serve another day in jail, he should be publicly executed immediately.

It’s a d@#$ shame that decent, law abiding citizens has to share this earth with trash on the street such as this.

AN EYE FOR AN EYE!!!!

I loved the headline on the Register and Bee.They make it sound like a hunting accident.You don’t point a gun at some one unless you intend to kill them.No accident here, just murder.

this is one guy who should certainly get what he deserves by the justice system.  I knew Ivory Law on a personal level, his mom and my mom are best friends since i moved to this god forsaking town, Ivory was a well manner young man, he lost his life over a dice game.
