Quick question–if you were locked up in prison with this guy, would you do anything to upset him?
Me neither.
But one guy took it upon himself to diss this guys beloved Dolphins, and, well, that didn’t go too well. Nope, not too well at all.
This guy here is Vincent Lee, 42-years-old, an inmate at the South Bay Correctional Institute, and a Miami Dolphins fan.
Lee is serving a 30-year term for sale of cocaine and sale of counterfeit drugs as well as robbery and escape. He’s been in the hoosegow since 1996. After what went down last month, methinks he’ll be in there a helluva lot longer.
To the right is Willie Smith, 28-years-old, and in South Bay as well, serving a life-term for armed robbery and armed burglary. Well, he was, until the “incident.”
Lee and Smith lived in adjoining cells. It seems on October 15th, Smith said to Lee, “The Dolphins suck.”
Lee’s response was, to say the least, stabby. Of course, that was after he hit Smith in the head with a padlock attached to the end of the belt. Some more struggling ensued, then Lee pulled out the big guns–an 18 inch shiv that was not his penis.
Lee dragged Smith out of his cell, apparently after stabbing him in the head in retaliation for his Dolphins comment. Smith was bleeding profusely from the head, had labored breathing, and was unresponsive.
But Vincent Lee is nothing if not tidy–he then went on to clean up the bloody mess, going so far as to flushing a blood-covered sheet down the toilet.
Thanks to the numerous eyewitnesses, Lee will be charged with first degree murder, smuggling a weapon into a correctional facility and destruction of physical evidence.
My first thought was, why such an extreme response to a verbal taunt? Especially since the Fins had just beaten the New York Jets, and had crawled back to 2-3 heading into the bye week, after starting 0-3. Then again, Vincent Lee wasn’t in prison for cutting the heads off parking meters now was he?
Secondly, where can I get one of those prison toilets, you know, without actually going to prison. From the sounds of it, those things can handle a whole friggin’ pot roast with a baked potato on the side. A whole bed sheet? Get out of here. [The Palm Beach Post]
