Misfit Jeremiah Rodgers, 21, and racist devil worshipper Jonathan Lawrence, 23, were serving time for petty crimes when they met in a Florida penal system mental hospital. A friendship grew from their shared lust for sadistic brutality, and once released, they teamed up to hunt human prey. In March, 1998, in Pensacola, Florida, while quietly watching TV, Leighton Smitherman was shot in the back by assailants hiding outside his home. Amazingly, he survived, not knowing that he'd been chosen at random by would-be-thrill-killers. Their next target wasn't so lucky. Justin Livingston, 20, died from multiple stab wounds - some more than six inches deep.The horror peaked on 7 May 1999, when Rodgers went on a "date" with pretty Jennifer Robinson, 18, with Lawrence tagging along. The young woman was drugged and assaulted first by Rodgers, then Lawrence, before Rodgers shot her execution-style. But the worse was yet to come, an unspeakable act of mutilation that followed in the bloody footsteps of one of the most infamous serial killers of our time...

Really good read if you like true crime stories. I found it interesting because it was a story that told how by a chance meeting two mentally disturbed kids got together and it was a Deadly combo.I find it interesting when one person on there own may have been one way but mixed together with the wrong person they can become lethal.

Pretty grusome & sick.
true crime
What an intense book! The crimes of Jeremiah Rodgers and Jonathan Lawrence are beyond belief. This book includes sex, violence, necrophilia, mutilation and more. But no one was surprised at what they did together. After all, they met in a facility for the criminally insane. They should have never been released. Not for the Faint of heart.
