In a similar case to that of Matthew Shepard, (that is being covered up by the national media and ignored by President Clinton) Arkansas authorities are seeking the death penalty for two homosexual men charged with the "sadomasochistic" raping and torturing of a 13-year old heterosexual boy. When a homosexual is accused of murder the story usually gets unreported.

Davis Don Carpenter, 38, and Joshua Macave Brown, 22, each are charged with one count of capital murder and six counts of rape stemming from the September 26 death of 13-year old Jesse Dirkhising. The accused were ordered held without bond. Prosecutors told CNSNews.com they will seek the death penalty. The boy was found close to death at the apartment of the two men, who police described as homosexual lovers. Facsimiles of affidavits are available at website www.americansfortruth.org.

According to the affidavit, Brown told police that on the morning of September 26, he snuck up on the boy, tied his hands behind his back, placed his pair of undershorts in the teen’s mouth and secured the briefs with a bandanna and duct tape. He said he blindfolded the youth, bound him to a bed and repeatedly sodomized him while Carpenter watched. Investigators said they found notes from Carpenter to Brown, instructing him on how to bind and sedate a child. A preliminary autopsy showed that the boy died from positional asphyxiation. Police say the boy was sodomized with several objects.
