He has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and official misconduct.
It took Massey three minutes to open the door after the deputies knocked, and she immediately said, “Don’t hurt me.” “You better not or I swear to God I’ll shoot you in your face.” He then pulled his 9mm pistol and demanded she drop the pot. Grayson told responding police, “She had boiling water and came at me, with boiling water. She said she was going to rebuke me in the name of Jesus and came at me with boiling water.”
“The only time I will see my baby again is when I leave this world,” Wilburn said. “And I don’t ever want anybody else in the United States to join this league.”
