Did you hear about the murder of an Indianapolis Pastor's wife on November 10th? I bet you didn't. I know you heard about the knife wielding knucklehead getting shot by the cops. Amanda Balckburn was home alone with her 15 month old infant when three disadvantaged youtes broke into her house on the way to applying for college courses. Here is an account that provides some details:
Affidavit Provides Details in Murder of Pastor's Wife
Alabama.com By Jeremy Gray
An affidavit filed in the case of two men charged with murdering the pregnant wife of an Indianapolis pastor states the suspect accused of killing her leaned over her body after shooting her and "watched her bleed."
Amanda Blackburn, 28, was found partially nude, with her underwear nearby and her shirt pulled up, lying in a pool of blood on her living room floor. She died one day after the Nov. 10 attack on Indianapolis' northwest side.
Her husband, Pastor Davey Blackburn, told police he had left the home's front door unlocked when he departed about 6 a.m. that morning to go to the gym and work out and returned home about 8:20 a.m. to find his wounded wife. The couple's 15-month-old son, Weston, was at home upstairs in a crib but was not harmed in the attack.
Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry identified the two men charged with murder as Larry Jo Taylor Jr., 18, and Jalen E. Watson, 21, both of Indianapolis, who face murder, burglary, theft and several other charges. A probable cause affidavit says that Taylor shot Blackburn three times, including once in the back of the head.
WTHR today reported prosecutors filed for a sentencing enhancement against Taylor. That means if he is convicted, Taylor could face an additional 20 years in prison because Blackburn was pregnant.
Court records posted on the station's website state Davey Blackburn called 911 after finding his wife suffering from a severe head wound. It was later determined she had been shot in the left arm, head and possibly in her lower back.
Amanda Blackburn was found nude, with her shirt pulled up and her underwear next to her. "However, it was not clear Blackburn had been sexually assaulted," the affidavit states.
An informant told police about the morning Taylor, Watson and a third suspect not charged in Blackburn's death broke into her home.
"Watson said there was a woman in the house and Watson busted her in the mouth," the court filing stated.
Taylor threw debit cards into the stolen car they were driving and went back inside the house while Watson and the other man withdrew money from an ATM.
They then picked Taylor up and went back to an apartment, where Taylor told the others he killed Blackburn, the affidavit states.
"Taylor stated that she charged at him and he shot her somewhere in the upper body so he would not be scratched," the filing states.
"Taylor then told them he leaned over her body and shot her in the back of the head. He leaned further, looked at her face, and watched her bleed," the affidavit stated.
Davey Blackburn attended Shades Valley and Tuscaloosa County High Schools. His father preached for several years at Brookview Wesleyan Church in Birmingham.
The couple's unborn child would have been named Everette "Evie" Grace Blackburn, according to a statement on the Resonate Church website. That is the Indianapolis church the couple started in 2012.
"Amanda made it her life's calling to love and serve everyone she knew. Even more, she has made it her life's mission to see as many people as possible come to know Jesus as their personal Savior. In her death and legacy, we truly believe that even more people will come to a saving faith in Christ," the statement read.
Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry said there was no reason to believe that the Blackburns knew the two men charged in Amanda Blackburn's killing.
Watson was released from prison Aug. 6 after completing his second sentence for burglary within the past three years, according to online inmate records from the Indiana Department of Correction.
Taylor also faces misdemeanor public nudity and public indecency charges stemming from an unrelated June incident where he allegedly exposed himself to a woman in a parking lot, court records show.
The third suspect is being held on a parole violation charge.

Yes I watched it discussed on IIRC The Kelley File. It was a bizarre interview of a female defense attorney or judge. She was concentrating on the possibility of the husband having done it by murder for hire. She pointed out that his initial statement was all about him, containing (paraphrase)'I, I, I, me, me, me.'
And then there was the woman who was killed so the recently released con could get wedding rings to ask someone to marry him.
Yes, these are emboldened people. I think we're on our way back to the Middle Ages. People must defend themselves from brigands.
Had to hear about it on the Net.
Replace the Magic Mulatto with a white Conservative and see them go back in their box.
Again, if you remember the 60s, it's all very familiar.
I heard about this case. I hadn't heard about the front door being unlocked. Hmmm? Now I'll wait and see.
Well I didn't know about it ed and I pay attention.
You certainly don't see it 24/7 on the news in the same way you see them screaming that Trump insulted some reporter because he has the shakes. That crap never ends. Or the Michael Brown/Trayvon Martin/Freddie Grey bullshit. 24/7.
Listen it should all be investigated. Of course the husband could be a suspect. I mean he is a white guy. It can't be the poor youtes who actually murdered and possibly raped this poor woman. It is always the white guy.
Don't you watch TV?
On every show. Hawaii 5/0. Elementary. CSI Buttfuck Arkasana. Criminal minds. Major Crimes. Chicago PD. Blue Bloods.
It is always a white male who is the murderer. Often a conservative. Or a clergyman.
They have to pin it on the husband and not the savages.
That's what you call your white privilege right there.
The husband was at the gym and looks gay-Gays are always at the gym.
muscles.
and he's a pastor....hello?
I know Titus. It has to be the religious guy. He has to be a gay murderer. I think you are on to something.
He was at the gym over 2 hours-major sauna iguana on the dl.
Depending on where you live, it might be best to always carry your piece so as to get to it quick.

This is the sort of thing you see on Moonbattery and WorldNetDaily.
Kind of like the hot sheets in MIB.
You won't see it in the New York Times. You won't see it in the Washington Post. Or MSNBC. On Rachel Maddow. Or Chris Matthews.
This is being pushed down the memory hole. Because it doesn't fit the narrative.
