Michael Brandon Samra - Alabama Execution - May 16, 2019
Samra's thread found here.
Summary of Offense:
Sentenced to death in 1998 for the 1997 slayings of Randy Gerald Duke, Dedra Mims Hunt, Chelisa Nicole Hunt and Chelsea Marie Hunt.
The evidence showed that Samra, along with three codefendants, planned to kill Randy Gerald Duke. To conceal the murder of Randy Gerald Duke, they also killed Dedra Mims Hunt, Chelisa Nicole Hunt, and Chelsea Marie Hunt, who were present at the scene. The four codefendants obtained two handguns to carry out the plan. Samra and Mark Anthony Duke then went to the home of Randy Gerald Duke, and Mark Anthony Duke shot Randy Gerald Duke. Samra shot Dedra Mims Hunt in the face, but the shot did not immediately kill her. Dedra Mims Hunt and her two minor children, Chelisa Nicole Hunt and Chelsea Marie Hunt, ran upstairs, and the Samra and Mark Anthony Duke followed them and killed them. After shooting Dedra Mims Hunt several times, they ran out of ammunition for the handguns. Therefore, they used kitchen knives to cut the throats of Chelisa Nicole Hunt and Chelsea Marie Hunt. The evidence showed that Samra actually cut the throat of one of the minor children. They tried to make it look like the murders had occurred during a robbery, and then they left to dispose of the weapons. Upon being questioned by law enforcement officials, Samra helped locate the weapons and made a statement in which he admitted his involvement in the murders.
