HILLSBORO • A Cedar Hill man charged with second-degree murder for allegedly killing his daughter's boyfriend argued briefly with the victim before shooting him 11 times, according to court testimony Thursday.

Michael Crutchfield, 22, suffered three gunshot wounds to the head, as well as four to the chest and others to the neck and arm on April 11 in House Springs. He was not armed.

I know the family of the victim. I hope he rots in jail/prison. So sad.

1. Honor Killing reversed....

Shit happens when ya hit a girl....

[nyc 4 Biden]

4. from the article...

Hopewell said he had seen the girl slap and punch Crutchfield, but had never seen Crutchfield hurt the girl.

5. Crutchfield never hit the girl - but the girl hit him

The testimony says that the girl slapped and punched Crutchfield, but he never harmed the girl.
He pulled a necklace off of her neck. That's what the testimony says in the article.

7. Pulling necklace was the capital crime is dads mind....enraging him into Temp Insanity

Mikey should not have argued with insane man...shit happens when doing that

[ThomasQED]

10. Why are you tying yourself in knots to blame the victim?

First you insinuate he abused the girl, which there is no info to back up at this point (and suggests you didn't read the article), then you say he shouldn't have argued with the father. WTF?

[opihimoimoi]

13. Confirming evidence is in the morgue

[ThomasQED]

14. Innocent until proven guilty

Except in this case, executed before the trial.

[opihimoimoi]

15. His trial was arguing with a dad on hair trigger because of the daughters complaint

Never ever argue with a riled up dad...Mongo 101

Thats just common sense...

What I am trying to say: The TRIGGER PULLER is not automatic Guilty.... In this case...I give the Dad a Pass

[ThomasQED]

16. "The trigger puller is not automatic guilty"

Um yes, that's kind of where laws come in.

Please don't ever accept jury duty.

[opihimoimoi]

17. lol... peace

The laws do not apply to enraged dads who are insane...they will kill. maim. ruin.

Yes the Laws of the Land sez they must stand trial....

Too little too late for victim in the morgue

Again, never argue with a nutcase because of temp insanity...thats street Law...

12. FTA:

"David Fugate told Jefferson County detectives that his daughter, 16, told him that Crutchfield assaulted her."

2. It is sad. OTOH, he was 22 and the girl was 16. Lots of anger

to be found in fathers in those circumstances. Very sad that it went that far. Age of consent in MO is 17.

3. I think she lied about her age

Maybe that's why the guy was breaking up with her.
Here is her myspace page
http://www.myspace.com/blondeaeprep
Has her age as 22-years-old.

But why was she out on a Sunday night so late? Dad knew and was going
to pick her up. Weird...

6. she looks like a real winner. n/t

[MineralMan]

8. That's not in the story, nor do I have any other information about

the incident. So, I think I'll just refrain from commenting about things I don't know anything about. Whatever the circumstances, it's a sad thing when anyone dies. I'll skip the myspace page, too.

You enjoy yourself, if that's the kind of thing you enjoy.

[udbcrzy2]

9. Enjoy? Not me. Maybe Fugate did

Sounds like he enjoyed killing him. He shot him 11 times. WTF

[LostinVA]

11. Then he should have called the Police
