Crock Pot Crime Does Not Pay

A woman who killed her friend by bashing her over the head with a Crock Pot during a drunken political argument was sentenced to twenty three years in prison. Tewana Sullivan, 51, beat Cheryl Livy, 66, with a Crock Pot at the victim's Livonia, Michigan apartment in October 2014. Full story from the Detroit Free Press.

A plea

If you've been following this blog you've read the story of the Michigan woman who bludgeoned her friend with a Crock Pot back in October. After a couple of examinations that were inconclusive about whether or not Tewana Sullivan was competent to stand trial, Sullivan pled guilty to second degree murder in the death of Cheryl Livy. Sullivan faces 23-50 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for June 15th. The update can be found here.

Back in Michigan

There was a pretrial hearing last week for Tewana Sullivan, who is accused of bludgeoning Cheryl Livy with a Crock Pot last year. The Detroit News reported that, "Officer Michael Lewallen said Sullivan was saying "I'm sorry. I did it. I'm sorry. I did it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. She was sobbing. She was crying." The cord was also wrapped around Livy's neck. Must have been a long cord because Crock Pot cords are usually fairly short. "Defense attorney John McWilliams said the two women had argued over "presidential politics. Whatever the controversy is between Democrats and Republicans," he said." So is this Obama's fault now? Arraignment is scheduled to take place on February 12th.

Now Michigan joins in, Crock Pot as weapon

In the Detroit area, a 66 year old woman has died after being beaten with a Crock Pot. The victim had just returned from a trip with the accused murderer and was attacked in her kitchen as she and the perpetrator were cooking.

No word if the Crock Pot had food in it or not.
