Mother Of Murder Victim Wants Justice

June 11, 2013, 6:00 PM by Don Jorgensen

 

The mother of a murder victim is speaking out about the man who is accused of shooting and killing her daughter.

It's been three months since 26-year-old Crystal Schulz was shot and killed. Her body was found days later in a shed on her mother's farm near Chamberlain.

Her boyfriend, 36-year-old Kent Davidson, is charged with first degree murder. Prosecutors have said they won't seek the death penalty against Davidson, but that's not sitting well Schulz's mother. But, life behind bars is not good enough for Davidson, at least in the eyes of Schulz's mother.

"I am for the death penalty, an eye for an eye," Aggie Schulz Clement said.

Schulz Clement says Davidson deserves to suffer.

"I feel he should taken out to the pasture and shot exactly the way my daughter was," Schulz Clement said.

Schulz Clement found her daughter's body in a shed on her farm a few days after she was reported missing. She had been shot in the head with a shotgun.

That's when a man hunt pursued for Davidson, Crystal's boyfriend. After alerting the public, Davidson was spotted at an apartment in central Sioux Falls. SWAT team negotiators talked him out of the apartment two hours later.  

Mom says she had so many plans for Crystal and her this summer, camping, fishing and just spending time together, but now she'll never get to build on those dreams.

"The one thing with Crystal no matter what she always smiled, always smiling," Schulz Clement said. "She was an astonishing person and she's missed by a lot of people, not only by me."

As for Davidson, he's been charged in the killing, but has pleaded not guilty. Schulz Clement is now worried, no one will be held accountable for her daughter's murder.

"It was a heinous crime in my eyes," Schulz Clement said. "I just want justice for Crystal, I mean I have this sick feeling in my stomach it's not going to happen, I just have this sick feeling in my stomach."

Schulz Clement is going to circulate a petition asking the state of South Dakota to reconsider the death penalty in this case. Prosecutors have said the states reserves the right to revisit the death penalty issue "in the event of an unforeseen significant change in circumstances."
