Pinestraw Convicted Of Murdering Toddler

June 20, 2013

A Cantonment man previously featured on America’s Most has been convicted of murdering a toddler.

The jury returned the verdict Wednesday afternoon against 21-year old Dwayne “Money” Pinestraw for the shooting death of 19-month old Ty’Quarius Moultrie on July 15, 2011. Pinestraw fired a .45-caliber gun through the window of a Pensacola Village apartment, striking to toddler. He was arrested in Texas in December 2011, hours after being featured on the television program American’s Most Wanted.

He was convicted of first degree murder, which normally carries a life sentence. His sentencing date has not yet been set.

It took a jury about four hours to return the guilty verdict.

Earlier, his co-defendant Shaquill Besst, 20, pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of second degree murder and now faces a maximum 20 years in prison for his plea.

    Poor “Money”, won’t need any where he’ll be taking up residence.

    Hey “Money” say hello to Satan when you arrive in jail. You are going to spend the rest of your time at Hell on Earth. You are going to make someone a nice cellmate. No chance of ever getting out must really stink. I hope you are a light sleeper.

    “He was convicted of first degree murder, which normally carries a life sentence.” Let’s go beyond the norm and save us, the tax payer, years of support.
