SALINE CO.—Some people obviously can’t handle the truth.
It appears that Ricky Turner II’s mother is one of those people.
And of course, it helps that there’s an attorney in the mix that is telling high-priced lies about the situation….and that the price is being paid by Barbara Ray’s family either selling off or mortgaging their property.
Ray, who herself has been in trouble with the law in Saline briefly, has been harassing anyone who has expressed an opinion against her son, Ricky Turner, the murderer of Jessika James, age 4 in 2009. His life sentence was pronounced Thursday, and Ray has been busy Facebook messaging anyone who agrees with the outcome, since she’s been blocked from posting on our Facebook page after this idiotic exchange recently.
For some misguided reason, Ray thinks that because Turner’s attorney Morgan Scroggins wrangled Turner out of a child sex assault conviction last year (this coming from machinations on Scroggins’ part involving entering a plea of guilty at that time to the murder, then withdrawing it), he can still somehow wrangle the disgusting man out of this one too. And who knows? Scroggins may try here over the next 30 days, with his only recourse left being to appeal the sentence.
But just because there are more wranglings to take place doesn’t mean lil Ricky didn’t kill Jessika, and that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t spend what’s left of his life in prison over it.
Ricky Turner, according to most who know him, is a very sick individual. It’s becoming more apparent, in this case, where he got his sickness. It’s also becoming apparent that blind belief that your child can do no wrong, and total indulgence in paying out the ass for an attorney that does little but attempt to find loopholes where most of the time there are none, is also part of that problem.
So if you’re harassed by Barbara Ray to the extent that some readers have:

Barbara Ray: Do you even know my son ? No you don’t. All you know is what you’ve read in this gossip rag.

Dave Finley: What the fuck are you babbling about?
…report her to Facebook. If enough people show Facebook that she’s harassing them in their messaging, they might shut down her account. Which will only take care of a minor problem, as she’s still at large and can harass people here in Saline County (or neighboring Gallatin, where the family is from)…but hopefully, that can be taken care of too.
