  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Prosecutors in the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office in Arizona plan to seek the death penalty for Adam Christopher Sheafe, the man who confessed to the crucifixion-style murder of New River Bible Chapel Pastor William Schonemann in his home earlier this year.

The prosecutors filed their notice of intent to seek the death penalty against 51-year-old Sheafe, who reportedly targeted Schonemann as a result of his faith, Arizona Family reported.

Even though he confessed to murdering 76-year-old Schoneman, Sheafe pleaded not guilty to the charge in July, which criminal defense attorney Russ Richelsoph told Arizona Family is standard in the court process.

“A judge at a felony arraignment is never going to let a defendant plead guilty,” he said. “Crazy people will confess to crimes that they didn’t commit.”
