This has been one of my favorite phrases since I heard it on the The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. It's usually directed at people who aren't fit to share out oxygen. Like the guy who did this.
I posted here about his slime ball lawyer's defense strategy. Here's an excerpt from that entry:
Candler's attorney, Deputy Public Defender John Alan, questioned the medical examiner about whether consensual sex could have caused the genital injuries..
So, we find out today where that line of question is going.
A 25-year-old ex-convict told detectives his DNA was found on an elderly El Camino Village rape and murder victim because they had consensual sex two days before she died.
Sheriff's Lt. Chris Brackpool testified Thursday that Thedward Candler said he struck up a conversation with an older Asian woman he met at a discount store around 8 a.m. Sept. 16, 2007.
They went to his front yard in the 14900 block of Chadron Avenue in El Camino Village, and had consensual sex while standing behind a gate, he told Brackpool.
Can you say Pond Scum!? I'm sorry to insult Pond Scum. Can you imagine how the family of the victim must feel, to hear this piece of shit spout this nonsense about her? Of course, he can say anything he wants. She is no longer here to defend herself. Since he killed her so brutally. Complete article will be in the extended entry.

A 25-year-old ex-convict told detectives his DNA was found on an elderly El Camino Village rape and murder victim because they had consensual sex two days before she died.
Sheriff's Lt. Chris Brackpool testified Thursday that Thedward Candler said he struck up a conversation with an older Asian woman he met at a discount store around 8 a.m. Sept. 16, 2007.
They went to his front yard in the 14900 block of Chadron Avenue in El Camino Village, and had consensual sex while standing behind a gate, he told Brackpool.
Brackpool said Candler's story was "unusual" and "bizarre," but he checked with the victim's family about her whereabouts that day.
Severa Madrona, 76, was at home that morning until about 10 a.m., when she left for church, Brackpool said her son-in-law told him.
Brackpool was the last to testify in Candler's Torrance Superior Court preliminary hearing, which resumed Thursday after a two-week break.
Following the hearing, Judge Laura Ellison determined there was enough evidence to send Candler to trial for murder with the special circumstance allegations of killing during a rape, sodomy and kidnapping.
Prosecutors will decide later if they will seek the death penalty for Candler, who was paroled a month before Madrona's death after serving six years for an assault with a deadly weapon conviction.
According to Madrona's family, the widowed Filipina native went on her usual morning walk sometime after 7 a.m. on Sept. 18, 2007, but did not return.
About five blocks away, a resident testified that he discovered Madrona laying bloodied and gasping for breath in his yard in the 3100 block of West 152nd Place.
A coroner's official said she was raped and sodomized.
Susannah Jarvis, a senior criminalist with the Sheriff's Department Crime Lab, testified she tested biological evidence related to the case.
During questioning by Deputy District Attorney Michael Gargiulo, who heads the Elder Abuse Section, Jarvis concluded that black tennis shoes found in Candler's bedroom tested positive for Madrona's blood.
Jarvis also said she found Candler's DNA on swabs taken from Madrona's body and underwear. She said only one person in 7.18 sectillion could have contributed the genetic material. (Jarvis described a sectillion as a 10 followed by 21 zeros).
But during cross-examination by Candler's attorney, Deputy Public Defender John Alan, Jarvis said studies have shown that DNA can stay on someone's body three to five days.
