O/T: Hispanic Teenager Victim of Hate-Crime Commits Suicide 15 months later

http://www.therxforum.com/showthread.php?t=371515



(4/27/06 - KTRK/HOUSTON) - One of two teenagers accused in the vicious beating of a 16-year-old over the weekend appeared in court Thursday.
David Henry Tuck answered to charges of aggravated sexual assault. He and Keith Robert Turner are accused of beating and sodomizing the 16-year-old Hispanic boy during a weekend party at a North Harris County home.
The suspects also poured bleach over the boy after the attack on Saturday night. Turner is expected in court later.
It's believed the victim was attacked because he tried to kiss a girl and wasn't found until the next day.
"He was left out in the back yard all night," said Lt. John Denholm with the Harris County Sheriff's Office. "He wasn't found until 11am the next morning. He laid out in the back yard near death for approximately 12 hours."
The victim is hospitalized for massive internal injuries and remains in critical condition. Deputies say they're considering upgrading the charges to a hate crime because the suspects used racial slurs during the beating.

Attack Survivor Dies in Cruise Ship Jump

<!-- rbox ends here -->HOUSTON — A teenager who survived a brutal pipe beating and later testified before Congress in support of a hate crimes bill died after jumping from a cruise ship into the Gulf of Mexico, his father said Monday.
Officials with Carnival Cruise Lines said an 18-year-old jumped Sunday morning from the Ecstasy, a cruise ship en route from Galveston to Cozumel, Mexico. A man at the home of David Ritcheson identified himself as Ritcheson's father and confirmed the death to The Associated Press.
He declined to give his name or comment further, saying the family would issue a statement later.
Carnival would not identify the victim, but Rick Dovalina, head of the Houston branch of the League of United Latin American Citizens, told the Houston Chronicle the victim was Ritcheson.
Ritcheson nearly died in April 2006 at a party in the Houston suburb of Spring when he was beaten, stomped, burned with cigarettes and sodomized with the plastic pole of a patio umbrella. His attackers poured bleach on him and left him for dead.
Prosecutors said the attack was racially motivated, in part because the Ritcheson is Mexican-American and one of his attackers espoused white-supremacist beliefs.

Passengers recount teen's leap from ship

By PAIGE HEWITT, EYDER PERALTA and MIKE TOLSON
Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle
<!-- rbox goes here --><!-- rbox ends here --><!-- A resource box here --><!-- Mille Photo Reference Type: image ID: 7004131 Width: 150 Credit: JAMES NIELSEN CHRONICLE Caption: IN COZUMEL Passengers aboard the cruise liner Ecstasy say they were told David Ritcheson climbed the vessel's communications tower, top, before jumping. end of Photo -->COZUMEL, Mexico— In the dim light just before dawn, long before most of the passengers aboard the Carnival cruise ship Ecstasy were awake, David Ritcheson maneuvered his way up a tower near the bow that held radar and other electronics gear.
His makeshift promontory provided a great view, but the teenager from Spring had not come for that. There was little to see but water anyway. Only one thing was on Ritcheson's mind Sunday morning after he wriggled up some cables to reach the top — whether to jump off.
Ecstasy's passengers said Monday after docking here that security staff tried to coax Ritcheson down. So did one of his friends. Nobody understood the point of his ascent.
"David!" yelled one of his buddies. "What the (expletive) are you doing?"
Nobody understood. Not the horror of what he had experienced. Not the pain that he lived with. Perhaps only his final act, a leap that ended all the suffering, made any sense at all.
Ritcheson's body, mangled first by a savage assault that made national headlines and then by a 200-foot fall into the Gulf of Mexico, will make a slow final journey home and remain on board a cruise ship until it returns to Galveston on Thursday, the FBI said. There the Galveston County Medical Examiner's office will conduct an autopsy and the FBI its own investigation.

An hour of negotiations

Passengers, a few of whom saw the event but most of whom repeated what crew members told them, said Ritcheson, 18, started his climb on the front end of the ship about 6:15 a.m. Minutes later, they said, security staff began negotiating with him. Some said Ritcheson lowered himself to the deck, but after talks that lasted perhaps an hour, he decided to jump.
Passenger Rick Waffle was headed to the gym when he felt the ship shake as it came to a stop. The captain announced over the intercom that the ship was turning around for an overboard passenger. Grant Anderson, another passenger, said crew members threw flares and life preservers into the water.
About 30 minutes later, passengers saw Ritcheson's body in one of the rescue boats. The crew tried to resuscitate him to no avail, Waffle said. Later the captain announced that the person overboard had died.
By appearances, Ritcheson was regaining control over his life following a brutal, racist assault in April 2006 that almost claimed it. Most of the surgeries required to repair extensive internal injuries had been done. He had stepped forward at the cost of public embarrassment to testify before Congress in support of expanded hate crimes legislation. He had returned to school, reconnected with his friends and started to live as a regular high school student, albeit one with significant scars, physical and emotional.
On the outside, friends said, Ritcheson appeared to be his same smiling self.
And if he was upset, said Jenny Bonilla, a friend and fellow student at Klein Collins High School, "he never showed it in any way."
The Harris County prosecutor who secured convictions and lengthy prison sentences for the two teenagers who attacked him saw no evidence of problems beneath the surface.
"All of us thought he had turned a corner and was trying to make something positive out of what had happened to him," Mike Trent said.
Ritcheson, interviewed by the Houston Chronicle in April, said he recognized that he was lucky to be alive and had gotten through the worst of his ordeal. He talked about going to college. As for memories of the attack itself, he said he coped by "not thinking about it."

Rebuffed counseling

Trent said he last saw Ritcheson in January. He spoke with his parents in recent weeks and heard nothing discouraging.
"But every day, David had pain he lived with, and there were things he could no longer do as a result of his injuries," Trent said. "And there were scars that were very disfiguring. All I know is, when you're 18 years old, it's very hard to see beyond tomorrow or even beyond today."
Ritcheson had rebuffed all suggestions that he get psychological counseling and wouldn't even talk to friends about it. Mental health experts say his avoidance of professional help is common for victims of trauma — and dangerous.
"It's not uncommon that (trauma victims) would feel suicidal, and not uncommon they would not want or seek help," said Dr. John Sargent, professor of psychiatry and pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and director of child psychiatry at Ben Taub Hospital. "It's very common that men who have experienced sexual abuse are quiet about it and work to keep it out of their minds."
But the mind often has other ideas. Feelings of weakness and helplessness are often accompanied by those of isolation. Emotions become hard to control.
"The younger and less educated, the more at risk you are," said Dan Creson, a retired psychiatry professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center-Houston and a national expert in post-traumatic stress disorders. "When he originally took the position that he didn't want treatment, that's going to leave him vulnerable. ... Suicide is often an impulsive thing. And there's often a lot of anger, a screw-the-world sort of feeling."

Students grieve

With school out for the summer, Ritcheson's classmates turned to the Internet to memorialize the former football player and homecoming king.
The headlines on their MySpace pages read like tombstones. "R.I.P. David," or "D-Ritch." Bonilla placed the words between hearts. She met Ritcheson through her boyfriend last September.
"David was an amazing person," she wrote in an e-mail, too emotional to talk on the phone. "He was homecoming king this year. He had a great heart."
In Ritcheson's honor, she urged her classmates, through an online message, to be strong.
"Many of us know him as that kid that got beaten severely and got sexually assaulted but he didn't want to be known for that," she wrote. "He was David Ritcheson. Just a normal kid like us. No different than me or you. He just had more problems than us."
To Ritcheson she wrote: "Keep watching over us."
Ritcheson's parents traveled to Mexico today and are expected to board the cruise ship at an undisclosed port this afternoon so they can see their son's body, said Carlos Leon, the family's attorney.
The parents will stay on board for the remainder of the cruise and will return with all other passengers to Galveston on Thursday. Ritcheson's body will then be moved to the Galveston County Medical Examiner's Office, where an autopsy will be performed, Leon said.
The FBI will assume the lead role in the investigation into Ritcheson's death.
Ritcheson had paid for the cruise trip himself, joining two friends and one of the young men's parents on the vessel. They remain on the cruise ship and are expected to speak with Ritcheson's parents when they board the ship today, Leon said.
Funeral arrangements have not yet been made, the attorney said.
Chronicle reporters Steve McVicker, Ericka Mellon and Peggy O'Hare contributed to this report.

Thought the same thing when I first saw it.

the best thing to come out of his death is that the punks that beat him up will now probably face a stiffer sentence (justified or not). They should enjoy their own daily sodomy from their fellow inmates.

So awful.

I hope those two pricks suffer a lifetime of rape and abuse in prison.

just ridiculous how life can be so cruel to someone who did nothing wrong..sick.

2006 Texas assault incident

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



The assault
During a party held at the Sons family house, two students who attended Klein Collins High School, David Henry Tuck of the 3400 block of Nutwood,<SUP class=reference id=_ref-HC2006_1>[3]</SUP> and Keith Robert Turner of the 21000 block of Star Grass,<SUP class=reference id=_ref-HC2006_2>[3]</SUP> brutally beat, tortured, and sodomized David Ritcheson, a 17-year old Hispanic Klein Collins student and former running back for the school football team.<SUP class=reference id=_ref-HC0417_0>[4]</SUP>
Tuck and Turner were both under the influence of recreational drugs, and said they were told that Ritcheson, also under the influence of drugs<SUP class=reference id=_ref-2>[5]</SUP> tried to kiss Danielle Sons, the 12 year old sister of Gus Sons, the son of the owner of the Sons family house, who is also named Gus Sons.<SUP class=reference id=_ref-3>[6]</SUP> Danielle's statement threw Tuck into a rage, and Tuck punched Ritcheson. The first punch was so powerful it broke Ritcheson's cheekbone and knocked him unconscious, stated Red Duke, the emergency physician who treated him. Tuck and Turner dragged the teenager outside, and for the next five hours stripped him naked, burned the victim with cigarettes, choked him with a gardening hose and proceeded to engrave a swastika into the victim's chest:WTF: , Tuck kicked Ritcheson with steel-toed boots, and furthermore violently kicked a PVC pipe up his rectum several inches while yelling racial slurs. After the sodomy ended, the perpetrators poured bleach on the victim's body to conceal the evidence of the crime. The night after the assault, Ritcheson's lungs failed, and the victim was placed on a ventilator. According to County prosecutor Mike Trent, the attackers may have poured bleach inside the pipe as high levels of toxins were found in the boy's organs.<SUP class=reference id=_ref-4>[7]</SUP> The victim stayed in the hospital for three months, requiring to undergo close to forty surgeries and contemplating a possible life of infirmity, because of the PVC pipe had perforated his bladder and caused extensive internal injuries.
In December 2006, Tuck and Turner were both convicted of aggravated sexual assault. Tuck, who was described by prosecutors as a white supremacist,<SUP class=reference id=_ref-MSN1117_0>[8]</SUP> was sentenced to life in prison,<SUP class=reference id=_ref-MSN1117_1>[8]</SUP> and Turner was sentenced to 90 years.<SUP class=reference id=_ref-5>[9]</SUP> They both will not be eligible for parole until 2035 at the earliest. Tuck has since appealed his life sentence.

Put them in an all Hispanic cellblock for about 10 years so they can really appreciate what assholes they were....

Unfortunatly there are also a large amount of the Aryan Brotherhood in TX prisons. What they will do is try to keep him in that group..its never been a secret that racial gangs are in Texas prisons and when they classify him he will get sent to a unit that has some of his own kind. Now what ever happens on the way to chow hall is a different story....JMO

MaxDemo.......Yeah there is Aryan Brotherhood and other white gangs, but this is Texas we're talking about. It's got to be 10-1 Mexicans to Whites. I sure like to think everyday is hell for these two pieces of garbage.
