The Increasingly Bizarre case of Evan Ebel and the murder of Colorado Prison Chief Clements..HT: BarrackNow.
Clements' murder (and Ebel's death) took place after the murder of Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse and before the murder of Kaufman County D.A. Mike McLelland, who - like Clements - was murdered in his own home, along with his wife Cynthia. Hasse was gunned down on Kaufman County courthouse steps in broad daylight on January 31st.
Let's revisit a bit of news that was making the rounds after Clements was murdered and before Ebel's death. It had been reported that one week prior to Clements was killed, he vetoed a request from a Saudi prisoner convicted in 2006 for the enslavement and repeated sexual assault of an Indonesian woman. Homaidan Al-Turki's request was that he finish serving his sentence in Saudi Arabia. In layman's terms, he wanted to be released.
One viral video in the Middle East sent out by Saudi Arabia calls for President “Barack Hussein Obama” to release a Saudi national named Homaidan Al-Turki (yes, that’s the same Al-Turki whose request for release to Saudi Arabia was denied by Tom Clements – the head of Colorado’s state Department of Corrections who was murdered one week after that denial).
Al-Turki even gets special treatment and is allowed to call the Saudi media for on-air interviews right from his prison cell to give the nation the state of his affairs.
There is absolutely no remorse. Even when Al-Turki got sentenced, his last statements included:
“Your honor, I am not here to apologize, for I cannot apologize for things I did not do and for crimes I did not commit. The state has criminalized these basic Muslim behaviors. Attacking traditional Muslim behaviors was the focal point of the prosecution.”According to Al-Turki a Muslim has a right to own a slave and penetrate that slave as said Muslim wishes while living in the United States.
Al-Turki even gets airtime in the U.S. and is permitted to lead the Iftar while free on bond, courtesy of the Saudi government.
In a letter to Al-Turki dated March 11th, three days before Ebel ditched his ankle bracelet, Clements informed the Saudi prisoner that his request for release to Saudi Arabia had been denied.
It should be lost on no one that some extremely powerful Saudis want to see Al-Turki freed.
Ebel becoming the most obvious suspect in the murder of Clements did two things. One, it prevented speculation about a major international showdown / scandal between the U.S and Saudi Arabia. Authorities began "de-prioritizing" an Al-Turki connection when the evidence against Ebel became so strong. Two, it enabled a narrative to take hold that a white supremacist group was likely behind the murder of a high-ranking Colorado prison official.
Extrapolating Ebel's alleged actions as a member of the Aryan Brotherhood to the murders in Kaufman, TX of District Attorneys (the McLellans were murdered after Ebel's death) helps to further the narrative that a racist group was behind all of the murders.
Certainly, we can all agree that if given the option of a Saudi hit man, Mexican drug cartels, or a white supremacist movement being implicated in the murders of state officials in Texas and Colorado, the Obama administration would certainly prefer the third option.
Go figure. That's the one being pushed by the
Hmmmm....He wouldn't be by any chance related to Sulaiman Al-Turki Deputy Minister at The Saudi Ministry of Finance?Read the full story here, more here.
Flashback MFS - The Other News Aug 2011: Al-Turki case to be reviewed next week in the US.(ArabNews).RIYADH: Humaidan Al-Turki, a Saudi research student who was convicted in 2006 in the United States of abusing his maid, will come up before a parole committee at Limon Correctional Facility, Colorado, on Monday in a fresh bid to be discharged.Al-Turki was sentenced in August 2006 to 28 years in prison on 12 felony counts of false imprisonment, unlawful sexual contact with his Indonesian housekeeper, theft and criminal extortion.But Al-Turki, on appeal, got his sentence reduced.
