Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the program. You know,
- 0:04Speaker 1: I don't really take delight in other people's misery. I
- 0:08Speaker 1: feel like that's bad karma usually. But when we're talking
- 0:11Speaker 1: about somebody like Billy Shemimere, well, I have to tell you,
- 0:15Speaker 1: I have no empathy for the man, and not one
- 0:18Speaker 1: single tear is going to be shed now that he's
- 0:21Speaker 1: been murdered by his cellmate. Now, Billy Shemimere got some
- 0:26Speaker 1: notoriety here in the U.S. due to the murders that
- 0:29Speaker 1: he committed, that targeted elderly women, particularly in the Dallas-Fort
- 0:34Speaker 1: Worth area of Texas. Shemimir was arrested in 2018, and
- 0:39Speaker 1: he was subsequently charged with the murder of a woman
- 0:43Speaker 1: named Lutai Harris. His alleged modus operandi involved posing as
- 0:48Speaker 1: a maintenance worker or health care provider to gain access
- 0:52Speaker 1: to the victims' homes, where he would then suffocate or
- 0:55Speaker 1: smother them before robbing them of valuables. Authorities suspect that
- 1:00Speaker 1: he may have been involved in numerous other cases with
- 1:03Speaker 1: similar circumstances. Now, we've talked about this condemnable rotten piece
- 1:08Speaker 1: of garbage several times before when he was on trial
- 1:13Speaker 1: and about to get those life sentences. Well, it looks
- 1:16Speaker 1: like his cellmate. did the job that the state didn't
- 1:20Speaker 1: want to do. And that job, well, that job is
- 1:23Speaker 1: trash removal. And the dude who did it should get
- 1:27Speaker 1: a couple of extra top romans for ridding the world
- 1:30Speaker 1: of Billy Shamimir. Today's article is from thedailymail.com and the headline.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Murderer Billy Shamimir, who was suspected of killing dozens of
- 1:41Speaker 1: elderly women, is killed in prison by his cellmate. You
- 1:45Speaker 1: know what they say, right? F around and find out. Well,
- 1:49Speaker 1: looks like he F'd around and found out. And whoever
- 1:52Speaker 1: his cellmate was probably loved his grandma a whole hell
- 1:56Speaker 1: of a lot. And when this animal got put into
- 1:58Speaker 1: the cell with him, he decided, you know what? I'm
- 2:01Speaker 1: here for life anyway. Let me go on ahead and
- 2:04Speaker 1: get rid of this piece of shit and be done
- 2:06Speaker 1: with it. The author of this article is Sophie Mann.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Convicted murderer Billy Shemimere was killed Tuesday by a cellmate
- 2:16Speaker 1: in a Texas prison. Shemimir was convicted last year of
- 2:20Speaker 1: killing two people, but was accused in the deaths of
- 2:23Speaker 1: nearly two dozen others. He was given two life sentences
- 2:27Speaker 1: in prison without parole. He was found dead early Tuesday
- 2:31Speaker 1: morning in his cell. His cellmate, who is serving a
- 2:35Speaker 1: sentence for murder, was identified as the assailant. And when
- 2:39Speaker 1: you're already serving a life bid, what the hell does
- 2:42Speaker 1: it matter if you get another life bid? Especially all
- 2:45Speaker 1: of the notoriety this guy's going to get within the prison. Remember,
- 2:49Speaker 1: if you take somebody out like Billy Shemimere, the rest
- 2:52Speaker 1: of the prisoners, they lodge you. That's a good thing,
- 2:56Speaker 1: according to them. And you're doing the rest of the
- 2:59Speaker 1: world a favor. Because people like that are on the
- 3:02Speaker 1: lowest rungs when it comes to inmates. And I know
- 3:06Speaker 1: it sounds crazy. Most of these guys are in here
- 3:08Speaker 1: for crazy-ass, heinous, gross things. But if you hurt old people,
- 3:13Speaker 1: if you hurt women, you hurt children, you're definitely a
- 3:16Speaker 1: rung below. And when you get put into a cell
- 3:20Speaker 1: with somebody who doesn't get down the way you get down,
- 3:24Speaker 1: more times than not, you're going to find yourself getting killed,
- 3:27Speaker 1: or at the very least, in a fight for your life.
- 3:31Speaker 1: During multiple trials, prosecutors allege that the suspected serial killer
- 3:35Speaker 1: targeted people inside of their homes, or at senior living facilities.
- 3:41Speaker 1: He often smothered his victims with pillows in order to
- 3:44Speaker 1: steal jewelry. And he got away with it for so
- 3:47Speaker 1: long because a lot of times, they thought that these
- 3:51Speaker 1: elderly folks were dying of natural causes. But that's not
- 3:54Speaker 1: the case. Billy Shemimere was over here smothering people with
- 3:58Speaker 1: pillows like he was Paulie Walnuts. But I'm a big
- 4:01Speaker 1: believer in karma. And if you do the kind of
- 4:04Speaker 1: shit that Billy Shemimere was up to... you should expect
- 4:08Speaker 1: that eventually the karma train is going to leave the
- 4:11Speaker 1: station and it's going to run your ass directly over.
- 4:16Speaker 1: The families of Shemimir's victims were notified of his death
- 4:19Speaker 1: early Tuesday, and most of the killer's victims were initially
- 4:23Speaker 1: believed to have died of natural causes, despite family members
- 4:27Speaker 1: claiming the circumstances of their passings were odd and that
- 4:31Speaker 1: jewelry had been stolen. It wasn't, however, until a victim
- 4:35Speaker 1: survived an attack that law enforcement reopened the cases, and
- 4:39Speaker 1: indictments were filed against Shamimir. So if it wasn't for
- 4:43Speaker 1: the family members saying, look, this is out of place,
- 4:46Speaker 1: this doesn't make any sense whatsoever, this disgusting rotten son
- 4:51Speaker 1: of a bitch would have gotten away with it, or
- 4:53Speaker 1: at least gotten away with it for a little bit longer,
- 4:55Speaker 1: if these family members weren't hip to what was up here,
- 4:59Speaker 1: and if they didn't know their relatives so well. You know,
- 5:02Speaker 1: my mom isn't going to die of a natural cause.
- 5:05Speaker 1: She wasn't sick, that sort of thing. And it's very
- 5:08Speaker 1: easy to miss something like that, a homicide, if it's
- 5:11Speaker 1: done with a pillow, especially to an elderly person, right?
- 5:15Speaker 1: If there's no other clues of forced entry or anything
- 5:18Speaker 1: like that, then, of course, the first thing you're going
- 5:21Speaker 1: to think as an investigator is this person died from
- 5:25Speaker 1: natural causes. He was eventually charged with killing 22 North
- 5:29Speaker 1: Texas women over a two-year span. He was found guilty
- 5:33Speaker 1: of capital murder last October for the death of Mary Brooks,
- 5:37Speaker 1: who was 87. In April of 2022, he was convicted
- 5:41Speaker 1: of the same charge for the murder of 81-year-old Lou
- 5:45Speaker 1: Ty Harris. His first trial for her death ended in
- 5:49Speaker 1: a mistrial. Officials did not say how Shemimir was killed.
- 5:54Speaker 1: He was killed in the Cofield unit in the Tennessee
- 5:57Speaker 1: colony about two hours southeast of Dallas. Yeah, pretty sure
- 6:02Speaker 1: he was shanked or maybe beaten to death, one or
- 6:04Speaker 1: the other. His attorney, Philip Hayes, confirmed the killer's death
- 6:08Speaker 1: in a statement. Despite how you feel about him, no
- 6:11Speaker 1: one deserves to be murdered in prison. Sorry, I don't
- 6:14Speaker 1: feel that way. Usually, I have a lot of empathy
- 6:17Speaker 1: for people, even when they're in prison. And if they
- 6:20Speaker 1: get attacked in prison, it's unacceptable. But somebody like this,
- 6:24Speaker 1: who thought he could go around murdering old people... Yeah, sorry, buddy.
- 6:29Speaker 1: You and Larry Nassar and the rest of the dirtbag crew,
- 6:33Speaker 1: you're all getting what you deserve as far as I'm concerned.
- 6:36Speaker 1: The Office of the Inspector General is investigating the killing.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Last month, the Collin County District Attorney opted not to
- 6:44Speaker 1: pursue the death penalty in 11 of the pending cases
- 6:47Speaker 1: against Shemimir. That probably initiated this. His celly was probably like, look,
- 6:55Speaker 1: the state ain't going to do shit about it. So
- 6:57Speaker 1: I'm going to take this into my own hands and
- 7:00Speaker 1: I'm going to do what I got to do. Now,
- 7:02Speaker 1: whatever the motivation would have been for that, your guess
- 7:05Speaker 1: is as good as mine. It could be anything, really.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Like I said, maybe the cellie had a really close
- 7:11Speaker 1: relationship with his grandma. He saw this shit on the news.
- 7:15Speaker 1: This guy got thrown in the cell with him and
- 7:17Speaker 1: he said, you know what? I'm going to handle some business. Look,
- 7:20Speaker 1: jail is a violent, dangerous place in the best of times.
- 7:24Speaker 1: If you're somebody like this who's murdering vulnerable people, murdering women,
- 7:29Speaker 1: murdering elderly people, hurting children, you're going to get what's
- 7:33Speaker 1: coming to you eventually in jail. Just take a look
- 7:35Speaker 1: at the list of people who we have sent to jail,
- 7:38Speaker 1: who have done this sort of thing, who ended up
- 7:40Speaker 1: getting their comeuppance. Authorities believe that Shemimir, who once worked
- 7:46Speaker 1: at a senior living facility as a caregiver, began his
- 7:50Speaker 1: killing spree in April of 2016. According to court records,
- 7:55Speaker 1: he was accused of killing at least three women in
- 7:58Speaker 1: Dallas's upscale Edgemere community and at least nine at the
- 8:02Speaker 1: tradition Prestonwood located in far north Dallas. So this guy
- 8:07Speaker 1: is such a coward, or I should say was such
- 8:09Speaker 1: a coward, that he would go to elderly homes where
- 8:12Speaker 1: these folks were living out their golden years to prey
- 8:16Speaker 1: upon them. And then his lawyer has the audacity to
- 8:20Speaker 1: say that no matter how you feel about this guy,
- 8:22Speaker 1: you shouldn't be happy. Sorry, look, I'm not doing a
- 8:25Speaker 1: happy dance or anything like that. But this is evolution.
- 8:29Speaker 1: This is exactly what Darwin was talking about. You want
- 8:33Speaker 1: to mess around and you want to do this sort
- 8:35Speaker 1: of thing? There's going to be repercussions. And if it's
- 8:38Speaker 1: not from the state, eventually somebody in that jail is
- 8:42Speaker 1: going to have words with you and it's going to
- 8:44Speaker 1: turn violent. And more times than not, the people that
- 8:47Speaker 1: have committed these crimes, they're not about that life, not
- 8:51Speaker 1: when it's somebody who's capable of defending themselves. So what happens?
- 8:55Speaker 1: In Billy Shemimere's case, the predator became the prey. He
- 9:01Speaker 1: was ultimately arrested the day after an elderly woman, Mary Bartle,
- 9:05Speaker 1: survived an attack at Plano's Preston Place retirement community in
- 9:10Speaker 1: March of 2018 and proceeded to report her missing jewelry.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Throughout his trials, Shemimir maintained his innocence, repeatedly saying that
- 9:20Speaker 1: he was not a killer and was not at all
- 9:22Speaker 1: what they're saying I am. I am a very innocent person.
- 9:26Speaker 1: I was not brought up that way. I was brought
- 9:28Speaker 1: up in a good family. I didn't have any problems
- 9:31Speaker 1: all my life. One month before his April 2020 conviction,
- 9:35Speaker 1: he said he was 100% sure he would not go
- 9:38Speaker 1: to prison. Well, how'd that work out for you there, numbnuts?
- 9:43Speaker 1: Didn't work out so well, did it? Here's an idea.
- 9:46Speaker 1: If you don't want to go to prison, don't murder people.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Don't prey upon elderly folks, because if you do, eventually
- 9:54Speaker 1: they're going to catch up with you and your ass
- 9:56Speaker 1: is going to end up in prison. And if you're
- 9:58Speaker 1: somebody like Billy Shamimir. you might end up sharing a
- 10:01Speaker 1: cell with somebody like whoever his cellie was, and end
- 10:05Speaker 1: up learning real quick that you're not as tough and
- 10:08Speaker 1: as badass as you think you are. Because Billy Shamimir
- 10:12Speaker 1: certainly found out that lesson, and it cost him dearly.
- 10:16Speaker 1: And if I had to guess... the families of the
- 10:19Speaker 1: victims won't lose one single wink of sleep over it.
- 10:25Speaker 1: All right, folks, that's going to do it for this one.
