The "Jimmy Eric Green needs a going away fruit basket fund" is now open

Jimmy Eric Green was recently convicted of the 1983 rape and murder of Laura McBride. Green continues to claim innocence and frankly we're a little tired of hearing it.

See Mr. Green is ALSO suspected in the murder and rape of Toni Goodson in 1993. Police have Green's DNA on the victim in that case too (as well as DNA in the McBride case).

We're REALLY sorry your DNA turned up on two dead women Mr. Green, geez, what ARE the chances? We suppose it's just really bad luck or timing on your part when these women "chose" to have sex with you, and then had to go and get themselves killed.

Guess what? You're a LIAR, a disgraceful, stinking rapist and murdering LIAR. We're glad you're heading to prison where you belong. And yes, we ALL have closure from this now.

1983 murder of Laura McBride has been solved and the idiot responsible found GUILTY

In a bench trial, Washtenaw Circuit Judge Donald E. Shelton said he didn't believe Jimmy Green's claim he had consentual sex with Ms. McBride. McBride was a 26-year-old EMU student and Air Force vet when her body was found on a path along the Huron River in Ypsilanti on May 23, 1983.

YCD will save you the terrible details but Jimmy Green did a number on her. Now we can only hope fate does a number on Green, a quality human being ALREADY serving a life sentence for rape. His new conviction means this turd will never be eligible for parole.

YCD is glad this chapter, one of our more infamous ones in city history, can now be put bed.

1983 murder of Laura McBride goes to trial, DNA may solve another cold case

Susan L. Oppat in the Ann Arbor News does a great job of all the background and all the particulars of this decades old case. Read her story here. Eerily similar to the DNA used to convict Gary Leiterman in 2005 in the Jane Mixer murder which took place in March of 1969.
