Monsters Among Us: Marvin Gabrion convicted of killing Rachel Timmerman so she could not testify against him; sentenced to federal death penalty

Rachel and Shannon

His death sentence was overturned on a technicality involving jury instructions. However, in November 2011, an appeals court basically reversed it’s decision, and will take another look at it. I believe if he is resentenced that he will be sentenced to death again anyway. He is an evil, cold-blooded killer. Rachel accused him of rape and he wanted that to go away. And her infant daughter, Shannon, has never been seen again. I am sure he is laughing to himself over that, but in the end, he won’t be laughing.
