"Partially"? At this point, we have to wonder what fully constituted homosexual behavior in Moses' mind. What had he heard/read from religious leaders about homosexuality? Was it something so bad as to kill Jadon because he might be gay? A fatherless child may swat the bottom of another child, but the instance has a huge leap to being gay? Who or what filled in that gap? Who instilled such unreasonable homophobia in Peter Lucas Moses?
Homosexuality, Cline contended, is frowned upon by the Black Hebrews, so the defendant asked the boy's mother to get rid of him.
Jadon's mother did not comply with the "lord's" wishes. But he persisted, so four days later...
Moses then ordered two of the other women to set up computers and speakers in the garage, prosecutors contend. Then the defendant took the boy into the garage, where music and the Lord's Prayer in Hebrew blared, and a gunshot sounded. One of the women told investigators the boy was shot in the head.
As to Antoinette McKoy:
McKoy had been strangled, beaten and tortured by Moses and his other "common-law wives" in the days leading up to her murder. She managed to escape the home where she was held prisoner and begged a neighbor to call for help, but was refused, as the neighbor believed the woman to be mentally ill. McKoy was then dragged back to the home by Moses, and eventually shot to death in the bathroom.
Her corpse was shown to Moses' family. They even partied around it at one point. It was then buried in his mother's backyard.
RESPONSIBILITY PT. II
Looking at this case analytically:
1. Moses thinks Jadon "might be gay." His "wives," including the boy's mother, help camouflage the sound of the gunshots when Moses shoots him.
2. The wives then pack Jadon's body in a suitcase and put it away until Moses complains of the smell.
3. Antoinette McKoy, tries to escape the house but is thought to be insane by the neighbor she seeks help from. The other wives and Moses drag her back to the house where, after being tortured, she is eventually shot.
4. Antoinette's body is shown to the Moses family and is then buried in the backyard of Moses' mother's house.
5. It is not until another woman escapes the house and goes to the police that the deaths are discovered.
Moses shoots and the wives and family cover it up -- case closed.
Ah, no.
