Justice in some Crimes is a Joke
On Friday, in a Chicago courtroom Brian Gilbert, standing before a Judge, pleads for special treatment, asking that he be placed in a secluded and safe part of the jail as he awaits the next court date. "they will kill me your honor, please he begged, help me, help me." This piece of garbage murdered two innocent boys and was about to murder another, when he got scared and ran out of the home. Jail is obviously too, good for this low life, wasting air at the tax payers expense. He needs far more than a jail cell, how about a long boat ride to a deserted area in a third world country. For certain crimes in this country, such as this, there should be no consideration for any justice, what so ever.
The man held a steak knife he allegedly had used to kill two young brothers and -- he thought -- their 13-year-old sister.
Gilbert then waited for the children's mother at the family's South Side apartment; he had planned to make her his fourth victim, Cook County prosecutors said in court Friday.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Brian Gilbert, 36, (inset) was charged with killing two young brothers and stabbing their 13-year-old sister. A memorial for the brothers stands outside the South Side apartment.
But as the mother arrived home from work, her daughter ran screaming and half-naked out of the apartment, prosecutors said. The scream spooked Gilbert and probably stopped him from killing the mother, they said.Gilbert is accused of murdering Quinton Jackson, 14, and Marquise Jackson, 12, inside the Jackson family apartment Thursday in the 7900 block of South Ellis.
Gilbert is also charged with sexually assaulting and trying to kill the sister. The Sun-Times does not name victims of sexual assault.
Prosecutors said Gilbert's frenzied rage began after he quarreled with Quinton over chores.
Gilbert didn't live at the apartment but had been dating the children's mother for the last two or three weeks, prosecutors said. He was at the apartment to drop off some of the mother's belongings, prosecutors said.
"He was waiting for the mother to come home so he could kill her as well and leave no witnesses," Cook County Assistant State's Attorney LuAnn Snow said during Friday's bond hearing.
Instead, Gilbert fled to another girlfriend's home in the 5600 block of South Maplewood.
He allegedly told the woman he had done "something bad" and then turned on the TV news, a law enforcement source said.
"If I tell you, you won't love me anymore," Gilbert told the woman, the source said.
Gilbert -- who has a tattoo on his chest that reads: "Love. God. Mom" -- told the woman his mother would be mad at him for what he had done, the source said.
Police later arrested Gilbert, a convicted sex offender, at the South Maplewood address.
Police said Friday that the children's mother did not know about Gilbert's criminal past.
