6/11/2013 – San Antonio, Texas — Apparently in Texas if you give a woman money and she won’t have sex with you then you can gun her down in cold blood.
Ezekiel Gilbert, 30, has to be the most spineless P.O.S. ‘John’ we have reported on in recent memory on JohnTV.
According to published reports, on Christmas Eve 2009, Gilbert decided to contact a woman advertising on Craigslist.com and arranged for her to come to his residence.
The online escort, Lenora Ivie Frago, 23, showed up and promptly requested $150 from Gilbert.
Gilbert was under the impression that his $150 was going to get him sex – which would make their transaction prostitution, which would make him involved in a criminal act.
Escorting though does not necessarily always involve sexual intercourse and when it doesn’t its considered a legal profession.
So, when Frago apparently tried to keep her business legal and refused to have sex with Gilbert he was none-too-pleased.
Lenora Ivie Frago gunned down by Gilbert.
So outraged was Gilbert, that when Frago got into her pimp/boyfriend Christopher Perkins’ car and tried to leave Gilbert produced an AK-47 and shot Frago four times, striking her in the neck.
Frago was paralyzed and brain damaged from the shooting and died just seven-months later.
Gilbert was promptly charged with murder.
Despite Gilbert never mentioning theft when interviewed by detectives, at trial Gilbert’s defense attorneys argued that Texas law allowed Gilbert to kill Frago.
According to the law, a Texas citizen has the right to kill anyone they please if they simply argue that they were attempting to recover property during a nighttime theft.
Yep folks, if you paid good money hoping to get lucky and the woman doesn’t put out, you can gun her down like a dog in the street….. Yeehaw.
Okay, we are not totally clueless to reality here at JohnTV.
Obviously when a woman advertises herself on Craigslist.com and shows up at your house and promises you a good time – its universally understood that you’re going to get sex for your money.
Its also universally understood that when said ‘good time’ doesn’t happen you feel like a horny idiot that just got scammed and you want justice.
But no ‘man’ produces a gun over $150 when they know good and well they themselves are a piece of shit womanizer who is probably just getting a taste of their own medicine.
So, what do you do? You cuss her out and let it go as a lesson learned in most cases.
If you really believe you are a victim of theft then by all means call the police.
Which brings up an interesting perspective. Exactly what would the police do if you called them about an alleged hooker doing a ‘cash and dash’ on you?
In most cases they simply ignore you or arrest you for soliciting prostitution. What they don’t do is sentence the alleged thief to death, like Gilbert did.
JohnTV wasn’t at the trial, so we don’t know all the details, but nowhere did we find any account where Frago expressly promised Gilbert sex or used a weapon, force or fear to try and leave with Gilbert’s money. Gilbert was simply incensed that how dare this woman lead him on, take his money and not get on her knees for him.
Let alone did it ever enter Gilbert’s mind that often women in prostitution are simply doing what they are told by their pimp.
This is yet another blatant example of how little we as a society value the life of anyone labeled a prostitute – shame on Gilbert and shame on jurors who did not see through the letter of the law to the intent of the law.
