One of the seven suspects in the robbery and murder of Byrd and Melanie Billings will stay in an Alabama jail for now.

Donald Stallworth's parents drove him to the Escambia County Jail in Brewton to turn himself around 9:00 p.m. Monday.

Tuesday afternoon, Stallworth refused to waive his extradition to Florida. That means he will remain in the Escambia County Jail on a $1 million bond.

State Attorney Bill Eddins says he will charge Stallworth, Leonard Gonzalez Jr, Wayne Coldiron, Gary Sumner, Fredrick Thornton, Leonard Gonzalez Sr and an unidentified 16-year-old with capital murder.

The Billings, who are well known for adopting special needs children, were shot to death in their Beluah home Thursday night.

Escambia County, FL Sheriff David Morgan told their daughter, Ashley Markham, at a press conference Tuesday that investigators have found the people responsible for killing her parents.

Yes, our prisons are FULL of people who have done nothing wrong…BLAH BLAH BLAH….GIVE ME A BREAK!  If they didn’t do what they were arrested for, I’m CERTAIN they’ve done something else they didn’t get busted for.  Life’s funny that way…you NEVER really GET AWAY with something!  To all the WOULD BE CRIMINALS OUT THERE:  Pay attention to this case….and go back to school and quit pretending to be a gangster.  You don’t SCARE anyone except your poor mother!

There are a lot of “fine boys” in prisons all over the United States that never did nothing to nobody.
