\"Marcus<\/p>\n

Do you recognize these young men by now?<\/p>\n

They are Khari Dewayne McClelland (23) and Jalend Daquan Turner (19).<\/p>\n

They have been charged with first degree murder<\/a> in the killing of Marcus Kauffman (23). <\/p>\n

\"Marco<\/p>\n

And charged as accessories after the fact: Tramel Devon Hart and Michael Dwayne Teasley.<\/p>\n

So what about these four guys?<\/p>\n

My thoughts are essentially the same as they were back when I wrote about Osama Bin Laden<\/a>, Dzhokar Tsarnaev<\/a>, and Zacarias Moussaoui<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ll not repeat myself here, but I’ll add this:<\/p>\n

How many followers of Jesus will lay aside blood-thirsty vengefulness and pray for the eternal redemption of Marcus Kauffman’s killers?<\/div>\n

May God continue to sustain Maryann Kauffman and the rest of Marco’s family and friends. I have been amazed and blessed and challenged by the little I’ve read from his family on the Praying for Marco<\/a> Facebook page. (You don’t need a Facebook account to read it, by the way.) I marvel again at the grace and power of God!<\/strong><\/p>\n

PS: My view on capital punishment remains unchanged. You can see it stated briefly here: The Sanctity of Life<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
