Shooting victim’s mother says prison life is too easy for criminals

Marie says Cecil is the third of her children to be injured in shootings for unknown reasons and she thinks the crime situation is escalating because the culprits have life too good when they’re behind bars.

“I think that they should give them more penalty than what they are doing right now because they are living the best life right now in jail. I don’t think that they need any computer in there, I don’t think that they need anything. I think the city need to be cleaned up; they need to be chained and brought out here to work so that people could know. They don’t need no kind of their own clothes. They need to put on some heavy clothes on them so that when they go in there they would never want to go back into prison. But they are allowing the prisoners to have the opportunity fi want in back because my bredda was a prison officer. I neva seh dis to di other media but my bredda was prison officer and he died now. And Mr. Adolphus was a very good person at that prison and they always tell mi bredda noh worry, save my cell fi me I di come back. So there’s must some kind of good living they have in that prison why these guys are doing so much out here.”

Cecil was listed as stable up to late this afternoon. Police say they don’t know what the motive is and up to news time no arrests had been made.

    wellt he prison is set up as a form of rehabilitation for these individuals, however, they should add some serious working conditions in addition to this, indeed give them a reason not to go back. isn’t there a prison in arizona that dresses them in pink and have them sleep outside, work all day in the hot sun? i think that would be a good idea to implement

    In Belize the police is also a gang. I have seen with my own eyes where police officers have tried to kill my fellow youths, I was one of them who is afraid to come forward because I was told that if I do I would be killed. But, know I am not afraid, if they want to kill me they can but the truth will be told. Teddy Murillo was killed my CIB police officer Griffin. He shot him six times, once in the back, once in the hand and tree times in the chest area. But first you must understand the back ground of this young man who was killed. Teddy Murillio Jr was a child of God, he was devoted to the Adventist church and had no enemies. The night he was killed he was coming from preparing for church for the Saturday morning. The reason why his death is significant is because the police officer that killed him was not alone, there was at least four of them in a red police patrol vehicle. The same police that
    killed him, report to the crime scene like 2 hours later which was an extreme intimidation for the witnesses that saw CIB Griffin killed Teddy.

    Let me give you a back ground on CIB Griffin, this is not his first murder. You see on the streets, CIB Griffin is known as a hit man for surprisingly the Commissioner of Police, Crispin Jefferies, I know this for a fact because whenever CIB Griffin is given a hit by the commissioner he would come to the gang i was in to do it and recruit the youngest gang members to do it, or he would just do it himself. The police officers also work with the chineese Mafia in Belize from where most of the ammunition comes to belize. Additionally, even though the entire public knows that Griffin killed this young man, the police still allows him to roam free where he comes and threaten the family of the young man he killed. He is also responsilbe for the Galvez murder and I know the commissioner knows this.
