Killer Elliot Morales is Guilty of Murder of a Gay Man

Murderer Elliott Morales has been convicted for killing Mark Carson (a gay man). He's facing life in prison for murder and a hate crime.

This murder took place back in 2013 at Greenwich Village. Elliot's reason for killing Mark was due to him acting tough (his words). Elliot was arrested for this murder and brought to court a few weeks ago. During that time, Elliot fired four attorneys and decided to defended himself in court. After the messy trial, the jury made their decision with two days.

Now, Elliott will be shipped off to prison.

I hope he suffers.

Elliot Morales, the man who shot and killed Mark Carson in the West Village pleads not guilty yesterday.

Elliot bragged about killing Mark to the cops, and had more to say that night. According to NY Daily News, Elliot said:

A Memorial Service in Harlem for Mark Carson

Today, friends and family gathered at the Unity Funeral Chapels in Harlem for Mark Carson's memorial service.

He was remembered as a loving, partying guy who cherished the people in his life.

NYT reports:

Some details of his life emerged. According to the program, Mr. Carson graduated from Legacy High School and attended the Borough of Manhattan Community College. He gave himself the nickname Envy for the way he entered a room, convinced that everyone envied him, said Chris Sandford, 26, who said he and Mr. Carson discussed dating but never quite got there. 

“He had the best relationship with his mom,” Mr. Sandford said. “I’ve never seen anyone that close.” 

Krystal Martin, 28, who lives in the St. Nicholas Houses, described Mr. Carson as “like a big brother,” adding that he was well liked by everyone, gay or straight.
Mr. Carson, she said, was mostly discreet about his romantic life. “He’d go on little dates,” Ms. Martin said in a telephone interview on Tuesday. “He was very private about that.” 

His family accepted his sexuality, said Karen Grant, who knew Mr. Carson’s mother since they were both pregnant together. “Your family is your family,” Ms. Grant said. “They all loved him.” 

He had discovered Greenwich Village in high school, heading down to the Christopher Street piers or the after-school program at the Harvey Milk High School on Astor Place, a public school known for its welcoming of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students. 

“He introduced me into the whole gay culture,” Alonzo said in a telephone interview before the funeral service. On these travels, he said, the threat of violence “was never a thought in our minds.”

RIP Mark Carson

The Murderer of Mark Carson uses the Sexual and Drug Abuse Excuse

Elliot Morales murdered Mark Carson this past weekend. He shot Mark in the head and later, laughed and bragged about it.

Yesterday, he was supposed to be in court. He didn't show, however his attorney did and he claimed there were reasons why he killed Mark.

NY Daily News reports:

The lawyer, Kevin Michael Canfield, later said Morales is not guilty of the slaying and is "devastated by the charges." 

"He didn't murder anybody," Canfield said, suggesting there were other factors at play."He was sexually abused as a child by a male authority figure which led to a lifetime of alcoholism and drug abuse," Canfield told the Daily News, adding, "It's a terrible tragedy."

How dare this attorney take this route? It is the biggest and worst excuse used every time murders like this happens. Many people have been sexually abused, but they don't turn into murderers! Elliot murdered Mark and was proud of it!

I don't give a damn about his hardships. It is the cheapest of excuses, and we should not let him hide behind it!

More Attacks in NYC Gayborhoods

Three more people have been gay-bashed since Mark Carson's death.

Dan Contarino was jumped last night at Avenue D and 4th Street. And a gay couple were attacked between Prince and Houston streets early this morning.

NYPD are beefing up patrol in the NY Gayborhoods: the Village, Chelsea and Hell's Kitchen. Fam please, be safe and careful walking the streets. I can't believe this happening in the I love.

“He was a proud gay man,” Ms. Allen said. “A fabulous gay man.” She noted that he loved going to the Village.
“His spirit was too big for this city,” she said. “He didn’t have a negative bone in his body.”

Mark was killed because he was gay. I never thought that NYC, especially the Village would be considered a dangerous place. For many years, my friends and I would hang out in the Village. I never thought twice about my safety, in fact, I felt completely at ease there.

For the friends and family of Mark, my heart goes out to you.

To the fam of NYC, stay strong.
