There were shell casings at that scene didn't ck Ruby's hands for gun powder❓

[@patriciaoreilly8907]

Pure wicked . You never really know someone. RIP two ladies brutally murdered by someone they knew . Mindless.

[@Kira36k]

That man should never get out of jail

[@Kira36k]

I think the mistress had to know what was going to happen. Who brings their mistress to murder their wife? This Fact that this was such a secluded place Leads to the conclusion and if this was a premeditated murder. It seems like karma for the mistress.

[@flapjackbickle645]

I'm surprised that no-one has raised the possibility that Ruby Joyner's so-called "friend" Halima was part of a murder plot to bump Ruby off and it just went wrong.

[@jameslee133]

Exactly. I just put that in the response.

[@buffalochic1974]

Right?

[@career5690]

So she got her karma.

[@capiruzca]

A murderer should never be set free. A life for a life

[@12Midnighthours]

So he beat the woman so bad that parts of her head were missing. Where does he come with self defense? Did he really think that was gonna work.🤪

Mr. Lewis did that fake crying on the witness stand! Or he realized he messed up and screwed up when/because he took the witness stand and saw these photos of his unalived wife. Why doesn't anyone get a divorce when she or he falls out of love with their spouse.

[@donnamariedavidson5065]

For none other than selfish reasons.

[@thale6945]

He only cried because he knew he was f'd!

[@tomboytwig]

Tamron Hall is an excellent host for this kind of program: She comes across as sober, serious and genuine....rather than over-the-top sensationalistic like so many other hosts, which is just annoying and distracting.

[@jameslee133]

Come on now, if the story actually went how the police think it went, then the mistress knew of Lewis wanting to kill Ruby while acting as her friend.

[@flapjackbickle645]

At least there's one person on the same page as me. I'm no genius, but sometimes I really wonder about the stupidity of others (including cops). We still live in a world where "I was with my mum watching TV" is considered a solid alibi. Shoot me now.

[@jameslee133]

@Flapjack Bickle exactly. I could be wrong, but the mistress knew what was up if that bullet hit her by mistake.

[@missypuffin8985]

Lol...like that could never happen?

[@career5690]

@@jameslee133Maybe it was karma that came to the mistress on top of that she was in a relationship cheating on her boyfriend.

[@TRILLTALKTV]

@@jameslee133 but this makes you wonder why would they want to kill her? What's the motive?

[@sengoma8638]

Social club sounds like a swingers club imho.

[@jameslee133]

No man will ever kill someone, especially a wife or supposed loved one in front of someone he is trying to impress or foolimg around with without the other person knowing something because the mistress will be scared out of her mind witnessing someone being shot if they didnt expect it.

[@maurachapman4179]

What happened at his parole hearing? I pray he's still in jail.

[@sevencharley]

Yes. He was denied parole.

[@spinjunkie8178]

Why did Halima agree to go this “apartment complex “ if she didn’t know what was going on. She would have told him to turn around

[@juliesterkel1248]

I think he's crying because he's such a terrible liar😂! Divorce not murder! WTF!?!😥

[@charleswatts3810]

I remember this case while living in South Atlanta. It was rumored that Lewis Joyner was a mid-level drug dealer who was moving weight. In this video, detectives said they discovered he had some drug debts. However, they did not say they had allegedly discovered large amounts of dope in his possession. It was said he killed his wife because she discovered he was he a drug dealer. Remember, he admittedly beat his wife, and it was savagely done. This implies anger and wrath. He reportedly killed Halima not accidently or because she was a witness, but because she allegedly knew of his drug dealing and would have known he was responsible for killing his wife, which was premeditated. Therefore, he lured them into one place, getting rid of two problems at once, and then dumping their bodies at the airport. *What a beast he is.*

[@tinalefakane4473]

Imo I think Lewis and Halima were in on it together. He missed and accidentally shot her. Ruby took off running, he caught her and did the unthinkable.

[@TRILLTALKTV]

i dont think it was a plan to kill her. i think he accidently shot her while getting high and killed the wife so she wouldnt tell

[@charleswatts3810]

@@TRILLTALKTV I remembered this case while living in South Atlanta. The streets talked. He reportedly killed both intentionally to hide his involvement in the drug trade. His wife found out. He fearing she either had exposed him or would have, kill her and Halima. Halima was killed because she knew too much, and would have known he killed Ruby his wife if she had been found dead alone. Therefore, he reportedly killed both of them at the same time. Then, he dumped their bodies at the airport. It appears he was a cold, premeditated killer.

[@srichey444]

Proof that money doesn't make you smart or give you class. When you live for yourself, and not for God, you build your life on Sunken Ground and end up losing it all anyway. Funny how the devil will show you all the temptations your heart desires, but he never gives you the consequences of accepting his offer. Pure Debauchery. So many lives ruined and altered Forever. Smh

[@lesliemassey-or6cv]

Were Ruby’s hands ever tested for gunpowder residue? Could that not discredit Lewis’ claim about who killed Halima?

[@LadyAngela678]

I dont think anyone truly cares what happened to her. She had no business in those peoples relationship.

[@russojones2975]

@@LadyAngela678 She had no business dying either tho. And his own wife got it the worst ! She was beaten to death by him. He’s a monster. Plan and simple.

[@ameliashostak4764]

That's what I was wondering!! Why not just test her hands and see!

[@vatricegeorge]

​@@russojones2975she probably was a willing participant 8n the plot to kill Ruby. You lay with digs you will rise with fleas.

[@Dee_nyce]

​@@LadyAngela678you have the women confused. Ruby was the wife. Testing would have proved the husband was lying or telling the truth. I understand because of a lie, this SOB murdered her then tried to demonize her. So I get the question.

[@ToyHigh]

Nooooo!!!! It's 2023 as of this message! I hope he gets NO PAROLE!!!!

[@Charlesbjtown]

He should have never said that he beat the woman till he was tired.

[@organismgel1043]

This one is straight wickedness. I feel for Coretta and the rest of her family. Penny Penn, that prosecutor, is so rad, I find her quite captivating. And the judge... oh my goodness his accent is great. So sweet and syrupy and southern.

[@caesandraseawell1518]

I do love how she lowflex goaded him, “yes I’m sure it was very exhausting to beat your wife to death, sir”

[@spideywhiplash]

[@patriciaoreilly8907]

This murder story does not makes sense.

[@teeahtate]

Right, why were they in that secluded place?

[@sevencharley]

I thought I was the only one. It still doesn’t make since. What makes the most sense, imo, is the mistress and the husband had a plot, how it went awry is still a mystery, I think it was supposed to look like robbery gone wrong, but Lewis as the gun man poppin out of whatever preplanned corner he was in prob contributed to things going left and Ruby put it together what time it was n booked it. I don’t think Halima was supposed to be shot, and Im skeptical ab if she died first. Maybe when she was the brutality she pulled out of the plan or perhaps Ruby had a feeling (women know) and when Lewis popped out the ladies started fighting and Lewis mistakenly shot Halima after his glasses broke, in a sloppy haste to move forward w the plan. Ruby was probably getting the best of Halima if they did fight and she prob yelled at him to shoot Ruby and he missed. Nasty work no matter how you spin it. Something in Halima eyes give the I can take ur man, vibes and they were both doing cocaine. Halima probably wanted Rubys life and for Lewis, Halima (a redbone) was prob a trophy for him.

[@PChantel]

His story makes zero sense. He should’ve gotten the death penalty. I agree with majority of the ppl in the comments, Hilma was in on it and got caught in the crossfire or maybe the 2 women were cheating and he got mad at them both. Either way, he did it!
