Nicholas Marshall, Part II

| June 28, 2016

Nicholas Marshall1

About five years ago, we talked about Nicholas Marshall, when he was arrested leading police in Massachusetts on a high speed chase in a stolen car. After he was caught, Marshall told the court that he was a war hero with a Silver Star and two Bronze Star Medals and he showed the court some scars to verify his service in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Army told the judge that he was AWOL and that they had a warrant out for him. He also had outstanding warrants in Rhode Island and Pennsylvania. So I’m wondering how he murdered his wife earlier this month with all of those pending sentences.

Nicholas Marshall, 31, of Raeford, has been charged with first-degree murder in connection to the death of 36-year-old Sheryl Dianne Marshall.

Deputies found the victim dead at a home in Raeford during the afternoon of May 31, according to authorities.

Deputies said the suspect had previously called officials about his wife’s well-being. Shortly later, another call was made that said the suspect was shot. He then drove himself to a fire station and asked for help.

After he killed his wife, he shot himself to cover up for her murder.

They ought to try to figure out how he got a gun, too. I’ll bet that it wasn’t at a gun show.

Our awesome criminal justice system at work…

I wonder if Obummer will pardon him?

Ncat

Maybe. It’s not like he killed a homosexual or anything.

HMCS(FMF) ret.

Because it was “DA MAN” that sold him the gun that killed his wife.

I’d say that’s more of the norm in the Massachusetts criminal justice system… don’t hear of as many cases like this in states such as Texas.

When I was a cop, once in a while I would meet a scumbag who would make the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

This douche is one of those guys. What an evil fuck.

Green Thumb

Wow.

What a sick fucking freak.

And life in prison so that we the taxpayers have to foot the bill.

Maybe they should ship him to the Russians or Chinese and let their justice system go to work….

Well at least he is a Yankee fan!

Moron!

He got two years for the stolen vehicle business, according to the info at the following link. The August 2011 article also refers to other then-pending charges in Rhode Island, including violating probation which he received for violating a restraining order. (I can’t help but wonder if the woman killed was the one who obtained that order.) In any event, with all of the charges in other states, not to mention the AWOL, it’s not going out too far on a limb to say somebody screwed up in one or more places for this guy to have been out. I’ve seen it too many times to think otherwise.

No nor the same women But Sheryl did have a restraining order against. When I was informed he killed my daugjter, I asked them if they could keep his ass locked up now.

Must’ve been the PTSD that made him do it.

Presuming he was already classified a felon after the auto theft, larceny and identity theft, Marshall was also wanted in Rhode Island when he was on probation of violating a restraining order.

(2/17AirCav beat me to it…)

Still, various offenses against 18USC 922(g) are applicable in this guy’s case.

Any bets the firearm was stolen?

ALL those pending sentences and he was out of jail? WTF, WTF, WTF is wrong with the bureaucrats running today’s clown house of a Justice System?

Ex-PH2

API, it’s the same legal system that gets a pro bono lawyer to beg for leniency for a 15-year-old gangbanger who just got picked up for shooting and killing another gangbanger and killing a bystander at the same time, because of bad aim.

If you understand that part, would you please explain it to me?

When a crim finally catches a sentence and has warrants outstanding, the warrants need to be lodged as detainers at the place he is jailed or imprisoned. If not, and his release date comes up, he walks. Also, when a crim is wanted in one state but resides in another, the matter of extradition arises. Quite often, states will not bother pursuing extradition. It depends on the state policy. Extradition is not automatic and if a guy is too far away or the charge not serious enough, some states’ policies say, “Screw it.” In addition to all of that, there’s the matter of cases that do go forward for prosecution but are quickly disposed of through a guilty plea, with sentence to run concurrently with the one the guy is serving elsewhere. Violations of probation often are treated this way where there is a new crime and sentence being served. Which case will “blow up” and result in a murder by a crim who benefited from these things? It’s anyone’s guess. It’s a gamble and the truth will come out only if the murder victim’s family pursues it, or some reporter gets curious.

It’s that concurrent sentencing thing that ticks me off most. If the crimes are from a single event, then perhaps it makes some sense under some circumstances but very few. Stack the sentances, please.

2/17 Air Cav

Yeah. If a guy robs two people in one event, he has committed two robberies. If robbery nets him 20 years, I can see the two 20-year terms running concurrently. If the guy robs one guy on Monday and another guy on Tuesday, there are two distinctly separate robberies for which he ought to get 20 and 20, to run consecutively, first one, then the other. That’s not the way it usually works, however.

Green Thumb

Sick and sad.

Fjardeson

I’d really like to know how this scumbag got control of a firearm. Felon, restraining orders… at least two FEDERAL laws ban him from guns. God only knows how many STATE statutes also.

David

could it possibly be that as a criminal, he doesn’t necessarily obey the law? I know that’s a radical concept…

madconductor

“could it possibly be that as a criminal, he doesn’t necessarily obey the law?”

Very well understated.

Hondo

My guess would be back-alley purchase for cash from another criminal.

Bill M

No, can’t be. That’s illegal and we all know criminals always obey the law. That’s why they’re called criminals….er, that doesn’t quite sound right, does it?

Maybe Congressional Dems should read about folks like this, but I guess they’re too busy trying to give them their voting rights back….

Um, 2/17 is spot on. Down here for instance, we have a certain family member that is a career criminal (major & minor beefs). His rap sheet reads like a trashy novel and has managed until yesterday to evade his “all too kind hearted” (I kid you not) state parole officer for far too long.

It’s be really great if you all wouldn’t talk about my mother’s murder.
