Jay Albert Stevens, 52, told Cochise County sheriff’s deputies that he killed his stepfather, Mark Kilbourne, 61, after an argument Wednesday afternoon in which Kilbourne accused Stevens of never having read the Bible or understood it, the sheriff's office said in a statement of probable cause.

The argument escalated in the garage of the home Stevens and Kilbourne shared. Stevens then went to his bedroom, where he "stewed" for several hours, before he confronted Kilbourne with a .40 caliber handgun in the living room, the statement alleged.

Stevens stood within 5 feet of Kilbourne, who was sitting in a chair, and shot him once in the chest, the statement claimed. Kilbourne was still alive after the first shot; Stevens then shot his stepfather in the chest a second time before he punched him in the face "out of anger and rage," it said.

Deputies said Stevens then dragged his stepfather out of the house with the intention to bury him but decided he was too lazy to dig a hole big enough and knew he would be caught.

Ungodly & lazy

1. Wait....wait gim a min

A 52 year old man is living in the house with his 61 year old step father.

Too lazy to dig a hole not a surprise.

8. My favorite part is him punching him in the face

After shooting him twice.

11. Right?

I'm a math dunce and that one jumped out like a firecracker! Not even ten years older but his stepfather. Okay.

[Bucky]

21. Have an extended family in one is not unusual, particularly when there's poverty

I mean, bless their hearts, they could probably only afford one gun

[Joinfortmill]

2. Jeez that's horrible.

[Probatim]

3. I really need to see the family tree for this one.

How old is mom? 70? 75? 60?

[EYESORE 9001]

9. He was born pre-Roe v. Wade

So it’s feasible that the mother wax a pre-teen mother denied a legal abortion.

[2naSalit]

12. Okya...

That might work.

[madaboutharry]

4. What a terrible story.

There are so many unbalanced and sick people. He spent hours deciding to kill someone over a dumb argument.
Ugh, this world.

[MissB]

5. Obviously he skipped over the part of thou shalt not kill

Oops.

7. The stepfather turned out to be right!

[MissMillie]

22. yeah, that whole "swords into plowshares" concept eludes them (n/t)

[Ilsa]

15. Apparently the killer didn't even make it to Exodus 20. nt

[Mopar151]

16. Preachin' from which version?

Rick James edition, from The Church Of Ass-Kickin' Jeebus?

[no_hypocrisy]

17. Shooter won't be able to use "Heat of Passion" defense.

He "stewed for several hours," meaning the court will view this as a cooling off period. It's still murder.

Another case of "Killing for Jesus".

18. Wait a minute?

Step father only 9 yrs older than his step son.
Both Step son and step father are over 50 and living together
Step son shoots the stepfather for not reading the bible
Step son says I was too lazy to try to bury stepfather and try to conceal the murder

Trumpism!

[Bucky]

20. I think I can hazard a guess which verses from the Bible he skipped over

It's one of the "thou shall nots"

25. WWJD?
