America’s Most Wanted Suspect Back In Court For Toddler Shooting

October 4, 2012

A Cantonment man that was named one of “America’s Most Wanted” and his co-defendent were  back in court Wednesday.

Judge Linda Nobles granted a defense attorney request to delay trial for  Dwayne “Money” Pinestraw, 20, of Cantonment and Shaquill Besst, 19, of Pensacola on charges of first degree murder in the shooting death of 19-month old Ty’Quarius Moultrie and first degree attempted murder for the shooting of 23-year old Vincent Dennis. Both men were also charged with shooting into a dwelling.

Pinestraw allegedly shot the child and Dennis on July 15, 2011, when he fired a .45-caliber gun through the window of a Pensacola Village apartment. He was arrested in Texas in December 2011, hours after being featured on the television program American’s Most Wanted.

Both men are due back in court in late November with their trials set to begin in December.

    Judge Nobles is not one to be soft on criminals. She is probably trying to make sure there won’t be any reasons for an appeal.

    Not to mention it’s something that happens ALL the time, literally on almost every case.

    Why’s that Terri? The Defendants have a right to a continuance, especially if it’s the first time they asked for one. The Judge would not be upholding the law if she denied their continuance due to her personal feelings based upon media reports, which are neither judicial facts, nor evidence.

    These guys (and all Defendants) are supposed to be presumed innocent until the evidence shows otherwise. The continuance is just.

    Terri: why? Because she granted the defense a continuance?
