The question is not if Shayna Hubers killed Ryan Poston in 2012, but why.
The 24-year-old confessed murderess says she shot him six times “in self defense” but notes that some of those bullets, including one in the face, were emptied into the 29-year-old attorney “so he wouldn’t suffer.”
The prosecution, on the other hand, insists Poston was slain mercilessly because he had broken it off with his obsessed killer, even making a date with someone else on the evening he was shot to death.
In the hours following the horrific killing of her soon-to-be ex boyfriend, Hubers had a lot to say about it -- perhaps too much in retrospect -- and often without an attorney present.
This from a woman who claims, as well, to have “the IQ of Einstein.”
“I gave him the nose job he wanted”
Most incredible of all, though, is the belligerently stupid manner in which wild-eyed Shayna Hubers conducts herself and phrases things.
Watching her behave remorselessly, listening to her weird explanations, following her skewed line of thought, one doesn’t get the impression of a brilliant scheming killer, frankly.
And one doesn’t see a falsely accused honor student defending her honor, either.
In fact, even though Hubers has supposedly only ever killed once in her short life, she just might be the most unsympathetic defendant since the serial slaying Ted Bundy.
“No injuries, no tears”
Homicide detectives, investigators, police … no one saw the plainly uninjured Hubers shed a single tear for her victim. Indeed, some say she even chuckled during interrogation.
In court, however, the jury does get to glimpse an often angry, glaring young woman who, when not boring holes into witnesses for the prosecution, truly seems to be enjoying her daily 15+ minutes of infamy.
So maybe an insanity plea would have been more appropriate than self defense…?
“This is getting to be restraining order level crazy. I'm not kidding -- you need to talk to her -- she sent me 75 texts in the last hour."
The scarily smitten Hubers bombarded Ryan Poston with tens of thousands of text messages during their brief and ill fated romance.
No, that’s not a typo -- tens of thousands of texts! -- which suggests that compulsively banging out 75 in one hour alone is probably not excessive, for her.
But, still, it isn’t exactly normal, is it?
"I shot him enough times to kill him"
It’s difficult to say which is the bigger travesty of justice in this case: Wasting the taxpayers’ money and time trying a totally lethal lunatic, or digging up her hapless victim so he can be murdered all over again, this time in a courtroom instead of at his dinner table.
Seriously, can there be any reasonable doubt that someone who tells police she put another bullet through her lover’s skull because “he was laying there, twitching and making noises" is a heartless killer?
It’s also clear, from such a twisted statement and all of the *logic* behind it, that the deeply delusional and dangerously demented Shayna Hubers is her own worst enemy.
And Ryan Poston’s as well.
