Guy was convicted and after leaving the courthouse, he shouted, "It's a corrupted system!"
The only injustice is not immediately and painfully executing scumbags like this.

KARK reported that jurors heard recordings in which Vance apparently confessed to beating Pressly with a piece of wood.
Pressly's mother, Patti Cannady, told NBC last year her daughter fought hard for her life, breaking her left hand in the process.
"I found my daughter beyond recognition, with every bone in her face broken, her nose broken, her jaw pulverized so badly that the bone had come out of it," Cannady said. "I actually thought that her throat had possibly been cut. Her entire skull had numerous fractures from which she suffered a massive stroke."

In various confessions made to police, Vance said he went to Pressly's neighborhood looking to steal laptop computers. After entering her home through a Dutch door she left open for her dogs, authorities said, Vance found the computer he sought � and Pressly.
Cannady, who was in town, told jurors that she drove to Pressly's house and found her battered and lying in a fetal position on her bed.
"Anne, Momma's here. Momma's here," Cannady called to her daughter, according to her testimony. Pressly reached weakly with her right arm, moaning.
After calling for an ambulance, Cannady closed her eyes, lifted her head and prayed. When she opened her eyes, she saw blood on the ceiling.
"That's how horrific ... her attack was. She was beyond recognition," Cannady told jurors.
An emergency room doctor at St. Vincent Infirmary believed Pressly, a blonde, had red hair because there was so much blood. Dr. Therese McBride testified that the front of Pressly's skull and jaw were beaten so severely that she did not appear human.
Pressly slipped into a coma after the attack and died five days later without regaining consciousness.

Thunder Collins said that too after executing a drug dealer in a garage and attempting to get the other guy.
