Man Dies After Asking Friend To Shoot Him In The Head

That coif is amazing.

There has to be more to this story. No one just says shoot me and someone says, derrr ok. To be that emotionally connected, I wonder if they were, ahem…
 
Damn, he’s just a kid.

“Dude, shoot me in the head, bro!”
   “No way, dude, that shit could be dangerous.”
“BUDDY! C’mon, if you do it I’ll get my dad to buy you a beer.”
    “No way. You’re fucking crazy bro.”
“Pussy if you don’t!”
   “HAHA! Ok, fuck it. I’ll shoot you in the head. But only because you’re my boy and shit.”

Yea, ok….. NOBODY can be that fucking stupid. Now if this happened in FLORIDA, I’d say it’s possible. There’s some dumb mother fuckers around here.
  

hmmm?If the conversation is just between the two of you, your fucked. Dead men tell no tales. This guy is a dumbass.

Pellegrini must have really been pissed at his best friend.  He could have just offed himself somehow, but he chose to use his friend.  Murder charges – most vindictive.  Take that friend.

That was assisted suicide.

If I’m ever diagnosed with Alzheimer’s I hope to be able to find a friend like that. I just pray he’s a good shot. 

I am really torn here….I can’t decide who was the bigger dumass.

They both should get the gold star.

Natural selection of the species at work right here.

Somehow, this dude reminds me of that the Beach Boys’ song:

“God only knows what I’d be without you”…

THIS IS NOT A FRIEND.

A friend would actually tell you he’d be right back and call the cops to straight jacket your ass.

 Apparently Florida does not quite have a lock on dumb mother fuckers,or maybe these St. Louis, MO ones were on vacation.

 That was very funny, Josh. 

 …yeah, sure.  One owed money/drugs to the other.  You don’t listen to a close friend say “hay dude, pop a cap in my noggin” and respond “sure thing dooder, one Cobain comin’ right up!”

Yep, I asked my 12-year-old son.  He’s still making fun of me.

What I want to know is how did Foghorn Leghorn get his hands on a gun.

uh.. more like three boxes of bath salts and two quarter papers of dope.

… I give a fuck who you are, you don’t shoot your friend in the head after a few cold ones and some pott… harder drugs and possibly some head problems played a roll in this one.

Chicken hawk did it.

 Wonder how I get a photo of my penis next to the explanation for Big Penis ???

St. Louis judge makes rare decision to reject plea deal on shooting case

ST. LOUIS ?•? After being rejected by one judge, lawyers in a St. Louis manslaughter case went to another Friday with a plea deal that would offer a seven-year prison sentence to a man who admitted shooting his friend in the head.

Kevin Beindorff, 22, was scheduled for sentencing last week after pleading guilty of involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action in the death of Matthew Pellegrini, 18. Prosecutors agreed to the seven-year term in exchange for the plea.

Circuit Court Judge Edward Sweeney postponed that hearing after statements from nearly a dozen of Pellegrini’s relatives, who tearfully asked him to reject the deal. In a rare move Friday, he did.

But it may not have a lasting effect. Under court procedures, the case moves away from Sweeney. That set the stage to ask another judge to revive the plea deal under the same terms that left the victim’s family outraged at prosecutors.

“Apparently they’ve done it to us again. I’m shocked. I’m flabbergasted,” said Pellegrini’s mother, Tami Inkley, who has complained that the family’s wishes have not been considered. “They’re not going to fight for justice like (Circuit Attorney) Jennifer Joyce claimed they were going to do.”

Joyce’s office declined comment Friday, other than reiterating earlier statements that it needs to weigh a variety of factors — including the available evidence, family wishes and legal opportunities — when deciding whether to agree to a deal.

Susan McGraugh, a St. Louis University law professor who has practiced criminal defense in the city for 25 years, said it was “extremely rare” for a judge here to reject a deal that both sides accept, and that could save the time and expense of a trial. But she was not surprised that the same deal was taken to a new judge, noting the court rules allow for just that scenario.

Friday started with Pellegrini’s family crowding the courtroom, anxious and optimistic about what Sweeney would do. Beindorff’s relatives were also there, in fewer numbers.

Before the defendant was escorted in, Sweeney handed a written ruling to the lawyers. Assistant Circuit Attorney Melissa Gilliam read it, shook her head side to side, and said with apparent surprise, “No way. No way.”

Sweeney then convened court and announced his decision.

That left Beindorff two options: withdraw his plea and go back on the list of cases awaiting trial, or keep the plea and have Sweeney sentence him on terms less favorable than were negotiated. He chose the former.
[...]
Pellegrini’s relatives cautiously celebrated afterward, having always said they were willing to risk trial over accepting the sentence offered. What they did not know was that the two attorneys were heading down to the division that handles cases in their initial phases, carrying a new plea deal with the same seven years.

The new judge on the case, Bryan Hettenbach, is scheduled to decide May 7.

Gilliam, through a spokeswoman, disputed that she showed any reaction to Sweeney’s decision, which a reporter and several of Pellegrini’s relatives observed. In a statement, the prosecutor said, “We respect Judge Sweeney’s decision and we will move forward in front of Judge Hettenbach in May.”

The two friends were sitting in a car outside Beindorff’s home, near Clifton Heights Park, on Feb. 21, 2012, when Beindorff fired once from a five-shot revolver into the side of Pellegrini’s head, according to police. Beindorff said to police and in court that Pellegrini had asked him to fire but that he had thought the hammer would fall on one of two empty chambers.

Pellegrini’s family members do not believe that story and have grown increasingly frustrated since a grand jury chose last year to indict Beindorff on an involuntary manslaughter charge instead of the second-degree murder charge prosecutors sought. The plea negotiations further angered them and they began campaigning publicly for a heavier sentence.

The average sentence for involuntary manslaughter is five years, according to Rick Kroeger, the public defender on the case. But armed criminal action has no maximum
under the state’s sentencing guidelines. A sentencing assessment offered by the Division of Probation and Parole noted that Beindorff had no prior felony convictions and was at low risk of re-offending.
