Randy Green claims porn made him kill

[Wicked Doll]

GLOVERSVILLE, N.Y. — A central New York man has been sentenced to 22 years to life in prison for a deadly stabbing he says was prompted by a pornographic video.

Randy Green said he was "not a bad person" as he was sentenced Thursday for slitting Ray Pike's throat Aug. 15 on a trail in Gloversville.

Green says he was psychologically affected by seeing the sexually explicit video, which he says depicted Pike with a young girl. Pike was a convicted sex offender who volunteered at local churches.

Defense lawyer Robert Abdella says a third man may have shown Green the video specifically to enrage him.

Fulton County District Attorney Louise Sira says police never found the tape.

Pike's daughter, Melissa Richardson, calls Green a "merciless and cowardly murderer who took it upon himself to play executioner."

Green says he was psychologically affected by seeing the sexually explicit video, which he says depicted Pike with a young girl.

Ok, not to promote vigilate activities, but how young was the girl in the video? Cause I gotta tell you, homemade porn with a 16 or 17 year old not really gonna bother me, but kiddie porn with maybe an under 10 girl might make me go all stabby on someones ass too.

I'm thinking he didn't do it because he was mad. He might have done because he was jealous he couldn't participate.

I'd like to know more details on this.
From my take, he was enraged at what he saw. If we saw someone molesting a child we'd surely go medieval on their asses.

The fucker was a sex offender. This guy did the world a favor IMO.

Oh shit. I totally read that wrong. I'm sorry. Then yeah he probably got enraged at what he saw and did do the world a favor. I am sooo not a morning person.

He was outraged and what he saw which who wouldn't be and so he thought he would be a vigilante and take care of the man himself. I'm not crying over what he did, not saying taking it in his own hands was right but don't really care he did either.

Child molester 0, vigilantes 1

I have to agreed with everyone on this. He did the world a favor, but at the expense of his freedom. That doesn't seem too bright. For all intents and purposes the child molester is free. He will never have to face justice.

Here's an update, Green seems pretty proud of himself and no evidence of the mysterious tape/DVD was found.

A Gloversville man was sent to prison for killing another man today but not before telling the victim's family, "I'm sorry you guys don't have your father around anymore, but life sucks sometimes."

That's what 27-year-old Randy Green told Raymond Pike's family as Green was sentenced to 22 years in prison for the Aug. 15 killing, Fulton County District Attorney Louise K. Sira said.

Standing before Judge Polly Hoye, Green repeated his claim that he killed Pike — who served time for a sodomy conviction in the 1990s — after watching child pornography at Pike's apartment. But prosecutors say police never found such a DVD with child porn when they searched Pike's belongings.

Green stabbed Pike, 63, repeatedly in the torso after the two men argued, Sira said. Pike's body was found on the "Rail Trail," a popular walking and bicycling path in Gloversville.

Pike's daughter ripped Green in court today accusing him of "playing executioner" to a man who was loved by his family.

"My father will never know the joy of grandchildren, build a relationship with them, never share in the love and admiration of just being 'Poppy,' " Melissa Richardson wrote in a statement she read in court.

"My youngest son, Carson, will never have the pleasure of meeting the man I call Dad, and you, Mr. Green are responsible for this. We are left with only precious memories that we will treasure forever and pass on to our children who will never have the privilege of knowing a truly great man."

Richardson said Green compounded the family's pain with the child pornography allegation.

"What was to follow this devastating news was like nothing our family could have imagined. Hunted and persecuted by the media was how we were to spend the next few days, numb and trying to grieve," she said, "our family name smeared and ruined as we planned the funeral of a life loved, yet lost too soon."

Hmm. I'm sure more details will emerge throgh the investigation, but as of now, it looks like this guy picked off a child molesting fuckwad. Good for him, one less piece of trash muddying up the waters of the gene pool.

If they never found the DVD, I guess we have to take the killer's word for it that it actually existed.

Regardless, considering his 1990 conviction for sodomy, I'm not sure I would have ever been comfortable allowing my young children to build a relationship with "Poppy."

Yeah, Poppy had some issues and really shouldn't have been hanging out with kids. I do wonder if Green had some other beef with Pike and used his past against him to excuse a murder.

I'm not saying that Pike was worth keeping around, but. . .just seems odd that's all.

Guess we'll never know the whole story.

Out of thanks, so I owe you one.

I'm gonna' have to agree with you on that one.... if I saw something like that, I don't know what I would do if I knew the perpetrator.
