Teenager confronting capital punishment in the wake of being blamed for killing five family members has indicated ‘no regret’

4 min readNov 14, 2020

An Alabama young person right now confronting capital homicide accusations for charging killing five of his family members a year ago, has demonstrated “no regret”, as per as of late delivered court reports.

Artisan Wayne Sisk, 15, is accused of lethally shooting his dad, stepmother and three more youthful kin in Elkmont — an unassuming community in Northern Alabama, close to the outskirt of Tennessee — in September 2019.

In the report, his post trial supervisor said that the young person “doesn’t appear to be troubled by the reality he’s blamed for killing his family”.

“He has not given any indication of regret. While in detainment, he has not discussed his family by any stretch of the imagination”, the post trial supervisor said.

Notwithstanding, the post trial supervisor additionally said that the young person had been coexisting with his kindred prisoners, follows bearings, and does his homework.

The casualties were his dad, 38-year-old Joh Sisk, his stepmother, 35-year-old Mary Sisk, and his three half-kin, 6-year-old Grayson, 5-year-old Aurora, and half year old Colson, Huntville’s WZDX revealed.

Court records state every one of his relatives were shot in the head. A cousin refered to by The New York Post a year ago conjectured that he may have been persuaded partially by discovering that his mom, Mary Sisk, was not naturally identified with him.

The young person is accused of three checks of capital homicide of a casualty younger than 14 and one tally of capital homicide of at least two casualties.

Online records show he stays held without bond in Tennessee Valley Juvenile Detention Center in Limestone County. It isn’t clear in the event that he has yet gotten an opportunity to enter a request.

There was a time I would have reasoned with you. There was a time I might even have pleaded.

Back then, I’d have been shocked and appalled to see a Mississippi state lawmaker advocate secession from the Union as you did in a Twitter exchange with former state representative Robert Foster a few hours after the presidential election was called for Joe Biden. As reported by Ashton Pittman of the Mississippi Free Press, Foster was going on about how Republicans will eventually accept the results of the 2020 election, but Democrats would “riot and burn their own cities to the ground” rather than accept a GOP victory.

That’s when you chimed in. “We need to succeed (sic) from the union and form our own country,” you said.

You’ve since apologized, saying you would “never support” what you had just supported. You’ll forgive me if I’m not persuaded. Besides, in one sense, it doesn’t matter much if you secede by force of arms as your forebears tried, with such spectacular unsuccess, almost 160 years ago. A case can be made that, in withdrawing from the unspoken covenants that make America America — for instance, refusing to promptly accept unfavorable election results — you and your ideological kin have already split from this country.

To which I can only respond: Bye-bye. Agitate the gravel. See ya in the funny papers. As we used to say in my neighborhood, don’t let the doorknob hit’cha where the good Lord split’cha.

There was a time I would never have said that. But your party’s coarseness, its avoidance of reality, its intellectual incontinence, have hardened me. Navigating its nonstop nonsense, its situational morality and constant appeals to our lowest selves, has required me to be colder toward folks like you than ever before. I don’t mind telling you, I miss who I used to be.
