Charged with murder, son who stabbed house raider

By David Pilditch

Burglar Tyler Juett died of his wounds

A SON hailed a hero for tackling two teenage burglars, stabbing one of them to death, was charged with murder yesterday.

Omari Roberts, 23, was widely praised after tackling Tyler Juett, 17, and a 14-year-old accomplice when he caught them breaking into his mother’s home.

He chased the 14-year-old off, then returned to the house to find Juett still there. They scuffled and Juett suffered a six-inch stab wound that severed vital arteries.

Juett was rushed to hospital but later died from his injuries.

Websites which were set up in his memory were swamped with messages backing the right of householders to protect their property.

But yesterday Roberts appeared in court accused of murdering Juett and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

The burglary was at the home of foster carer Jacqueline McKenzie-Johnson in Old Basford, Nottingham in March.

Neighbours living near the scene of the killing claimed the area had suffered a number of burglaries and householders were “on edge”.

Yesterday Roberts listened intently as Nottingham magistrates heard how he first discovered the 14-year-old inside his mother’s house.

Lee Shepherd, prosecuting, said Roberts chased the youngster down the street before returning to the property to find himself confronted by Juett.

District Judge John Stobart said he was taking the “rare decision” to continue to grant bail because of Roberts’ flawless record of reporting for bail since March.

But he agreed to remand him in custody at least until today after the prosecution said it wanted to appeal against the decision. Outside court Mrs McKenzie-Johnson, 46, a manager at Nottingham City Council, questioned the CPS’s decision to prosecute her son.

She said: “It’s a surprise when you look at the basic facts, because a murder charge means intent. Where was the intent in this case?”

Before the hearing prosecutions lawyer Ian Cunningham said guidelines made clear anyone using “reasonable force” to defend themselves would “enjoy the full protection of the law”.

He added: “However, the law also makes clear that people could be prosecuted if they act with excessive and gratuitous force.”

Juett’s accomplice, who cannot be identified, was sentenced to two years’ detention in May.

I don't doubt for a second his Mum loved him but it changes the facts not a jot!
If I catch you breaking into my home where my two babies are then you had better be prepared to die or to kill me.

Please note: InformationLiberation is neither liberal or conservative. When one takes the time to research the "liberal elite," whom the conservatives oppose, and the "conservative elite," whom the liberals oppose, one finds both "elite" are one and the same. "Liberal" or "Conservative" is not a substantive choice, it is only the carefully crafted illusion of a choice, for both parties come together when they are instructed to.

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson."

"Fifty men have run America, and that's a high figure."
Joseph Kennedy, father of JFK, in the July 26th, 1936 issue of The New York Times.

If you care to know who runs the world you live in, view these films. If you care not then I leave you with this quote to ponder:

"There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution."
