康景洪弟兄被主接走三年了...
2010年7月18日, 主日,在California奥克兰, 身上只有17美元的康弟兄(46岁)被24岁的奥克兰居民乔治哈格尼斯（George Huggunis）三枪打死, 其中一枪在大腿上,至少一枪在胸上,是要命的一枪. 事后我特意去现场查考过血迹.
现在乔治虽然在他的女律师的辩护下,死不认罪,但他的同夥为保自身指证了乔治,加上录像的验证,乔治最终被判终身监禁,他的女同夥从判终身监禁改至15年8月.
我在想如果弟兄那天(7月18日)到奥克兰,给我或其它弟兄打电话,他也许还活着...如今亲爱的姊妹也犯癌症,三个孩子,老大该20岁了. 据说夏季训练来参加了,他要继承父亲的遗志, 想继续走爱主,爱耶稣的天路. 康弟兄也该在主耶稣怀里感到欣慰.
今年7月18日我是赶在去温哥华训练特会的路上...昨日刚刚赶回来,今天起来,想起弟兄,提笔几句. 愿神恩待弟兄一家大小.保守孩子们的健康成长,信耶稣,爱主.
我是在想,对弟兄最大的思念,就是去完成他没有完成的职事.
求主怜悯我,还有岁月去事奉他.阿门.

Man convicted of murdering Google job hopeful in Oakland
KTVU.com and wires OAKLAND, Calif. —
An Oakland man was convicted Wednesday of first-degree murder
and other charges for the shooting death of a Virginia man who had come to the
Bay Area for a job interview at Google.
George Huggins, 26, also was convicted of the special
circumstance of committing a murder during a robbery for the fatal shooting of
45-year-old Jinghong Kang, who was fatally shot in the 1900 block of Webster
Street in Downtown Oakland at about 11:30 p.m. on July 18, 2010.
In addition, Huggins was convicted of attempted second-degree
robbery for trying to rob Hai Huang, a dental assistant who had just cleaned
Kang's teeth at her office on Webster Street that night, and of two counts of
second-degree robbery for taking items from a man and woman, both 26 at the
time, as they were sitting in a parked car in the 1700 block of Telegraph
Avenue early the morning of June 21, 2010, several weeks before Kang was
killed.
Huggins also was convicted of using a gun to shoot and injure
the man in the earlier incident.
He faces a term of life in state prison without parole when he's
sentenced by Alameda County Superior Court Judge Jon Rolefson on April 18.
Jurors only deliberated for a day before returning their verdict
against Huggins, who bowed his head and was comforted by his attorney, Annie
Beles.
Prosecutor Tim Wellman told the seven-woman, five-man jury that
Huggins, and his former girlfriend, Althea Housley, 36, also of Oakland,
targeted Kang and his friend Huang as they stood next to Kang's rental car
because they "were vulnerable and were easy targets."
Wellman said Kang had flown to the Bay Area because he had a job
interview at Google the next day and he had driven his rental car to Downtown
Oakland to have his teeth cleaned by Huang, a dental hygienist whom Kang had
met at a church conference.
He said Huggins and Housley worked together as a team, with
Huggins approaching male victims and Housley approaching female victims, and
that was what they did when they walked up to Kang and Huang.
Wellman said Housley grabbed Huang by her hair and threw her to
the ground and Huggins pointed a gun at Kang and demanded that he turn over his
money.
Kang told Huggins all he had was $17, and he gave Huggins that
amount but Huggins still fired three shots at him, striking Kang in his leg and
his chest and killing him, Wellman said.
Housley and Huggins then fled, according to the prosecutor.
Oakland police obtained video footage of the suspects captured
by surveillance cameras at nearby businesses and they were later arrested,
Wellman said.
Housley initially told police that she wasn't involved but later
admitted she was present. However, she said that Huggins was the person who
shot Kang and claimed she didn't know anyone would be shot, he said.
Wellman said police ballistics experts determined that the same
.22-caliber handgun was used to shoot both Kang and the male victim in the
earlier robbery.
Housley had faced a murder charge for allegedly being an
accomplice in Kang's shooting, but on Feb. 20 she pleaded guilty to the lesser
charge of voluntary manslaughter and attempted robbery for that incident and to
two counts of attempted robbery for the incident on Telegraph Avenue.
She testified against Huggins during his trial, identifying him
as the man who shot Kang and the other male victim.
Instead of potentially facing a sentence of up to life in
prison, Huggins is now due to receive a sentence of 15 years and eight months
in state prison if her testimony is deemed to be truthful.
Beles told jurors today that Huggins is innocent of murder and
the robbery charges and alleged that the person shown on video with Housley was
not Huggins.
Beles, who didn't present any defense witnesses, said Housley
and a jailhouse informant who testified that Huggins admitted to him that he
shot two people during robberies in Oakland, killing one, both had motives to
lie because they were rewarded by prosecutors for their testimony.
Housley will eventually be able to get out of prison and
reconnect with her four children and the informant had his sentence reduced,
Beles said.
Beles declined to comment on the jury's verdict.
Life
in prison for murderer of Google job applicant
TVU and Wires OAKLAND, Calif. —
An unrepentant Oakland man who claims that he is innocent was
sentenced Monday to life in prison for murdering a Virginia man who had come to
the Bay Area for a job interview at Google three years ago.
George Huggins, 26, was convicted on March 20 of first-degree
murder and the special circumstance of committing a murder during a robbery for
the fatal shooting of 45-year-old Jinghong Kang, who was fatally shot in the
1900 block of Webster Street in downtown Oakland at about 11:30 p.m. on July
18, 2010.
In addition, Huggins was convicted of attempted second-degree
robbery for trying to rob Hai Huang, a dental assistant who had just cleaned
Kang's teeth at her office on Webster Street that night.
He was also convicted of two counts of second-degree robbery for
taking items from a man and woman, both 26 at the time, as they were sitting in
a parked car in the 1700 block of Telegraph Avenue early the morning of June
21, 2010, several weeks before Kang was killed.
Huggins also was convicted of using a gun to shoot and injure
the man in the earlier incident.
Just before he was sentenced by Alameda County Superior Court
Judge Jon Rolefson today, Huggins said he's completely innocent and he is upset
that prosecutor Tim Wellman called him "a monster" during his trial.
Huggins' lawyer, Annie Beles, bitterly complained that Huggins
was "the victim of a terrible prosecution" that included "the
most despicable type of evidence," such as presenting testimony from a
citizen witness who identified Huggins as the culprit and a jailhouse informant
who said Huggins admitted carrying out the crimes.
But Rolefson said he feels "quite comfortable"
sentencing Huggins to life in prison because he agrees that the jury's verdict
against him after only one day of deliberations was appropriate.
Wellman told jurors during the trial that Huggins and his former
girlfriend, Althea Housley, 36, also of Oakland, targeted Kang and his friend
Huang as they stood next to Kang's rental car because they "were
vulnerable and were easy targets."
Wellman said Kang had flown to the Bay Area because he had a job
interview at Google the next day and he had driven his rental car to downtown
Oakland to have his teeth cleaned by Huang, a dental hygienist whom Kang had
met at a church conference.
He said Huggins and Housley worked together as a team, with
Huggins approaching male victims and Housley approaching female victims, and
that was what they did when they walked up to Kang and Huang.
Wellman said Housley grabbed Huang by her hair and threw her to
the ground and Huggins pointed a gun at Kang and demanded that he turn over his
money.
Kang told Huggins all he had was $17, and he gave Huggins that
amount but Huggins still fired three shots at him, striking Kang in his leg and
his chest and killing him, Wellman said.
Housley and Huggins then fled, according to the prosecutor.
Oakland police obtained video footage of the suspects captured
by surveillance cameras at nearby businesses and they were later arrested,
Wellman said.
Housley initially told police that she wasn't involved but later
admitted she was present. However, she said that Huggins was the person who
shot Kang and claimed she didn't know anyone would be shot, he said.
Wellman said police ballistics experts determined that the same
.22-caliber handgun was used to shoot both Kang and the male victim in the
earlier robbery.
Housley had faced a murder charge for allegedly being an
accomplice in Kang's shooting, but on Feb. 20 she pleaded guilty to the lesser
charge of voluntary manslaughter and attempted robbery for that incident and to
two counts of attempted robbery for the incident on Telegraph Avenue.
She testified against Huggins during his trial, identifying him
as the man who shot Kang and the other male victim.
Instead of potentially facing a sentence of up to life in
prison, Housley was sentenced in May to 15 years and eight months in state
prison.
Beles told jurors that Huggins is innocent of murder and the
robbery charges and alleged that the person shown on video with Housley was not
Huggins.
Beles, who didn't present any defense witnesses, said Housley
and a jailhouse informant both had motives to lie because they were rewarded by
prosecutors for their testimony. The informant testified that Huggins admitted
to him that he shot two people during robberies in Oakland, killing one.
Kang's widow, Wendy Wang, said in a statement read in court
today by Wellman that Kang's potential new job with Google represented a chance
for a "better life" but "this dream became a nightmare"
when the father of three was murdered.
"The loss of my husband has devastated my entire family and
the community," Wang said. "I lost my very best friend, the three
boys lost the father and the elderly mom lost her lovely son."
Wang said she had planned to attend Huggins' sentencing but she
recently found out that she has breast cancer, which she thinks she developed
because of the stress of her husband's death and having to support her family
by herself.
