Get Pageant Questions Written By A Miss Universe Judge
A jury on Friday found a man accused of killing a popular high school teacher who vanished from her rural Georgia hometown in 2005 not guilty of murder.
#RyanDuke had told investigators he killed #TaraGrinstead and helped burn her body. But when he took the witness stand during his trial, he insisted he was innocent.
Justice for the former beauty pageant contestant and popular high school history teacher may never have come had it not been for Payne Lindsey. Lindsey is the creator and host of “Up and Vanished,” a podcast credited with cracking the case that led to the arrests of two of Grinstead’s former students, Ryan Duke and Bo Dukes.

I don’t understand how everyone jumped on the “poor Ryan” bandwagon and discounted his freaking confession! Drugs don’t make you lie about murder and he WASN’T coerced. I’m flabbergasted and love that lady with the large necklace. She tells the truth about it all!
His defense attorney is really good. I applaud her. She was having to play on the devils side and faced criticism from everywhere yet still stood and spoke his defense. Really good. And it is heinous what he did…however it’s different from actual Murder. There’s a big difference. That was her argument.
Went through this whole murder trial and got a verdict from a jury, as the Johnny Depp saga keeps on rolling on. Crazy
☠️ The DEATH PENALTY comes to mind!

You talk such crap You wouldn't feel that way if it was your family and you need to learn to listen more carefully to the trials
His defense attorney is a nasty person.
Guess judge thought he was guilty of murder?
I have heard many victim impact statements and Tara's Stepmother's was the most intelligent, eloquent, civilized and passionate statement I have ever come across. That woman is a Steel Magnolia and loves Tara fiercely. The defense makes much ado about Ryan Duke's supposed character. The fact that he chose to spend so much time with the likes of Bo Dukes tells you all you need to know about his actual character. Ryan Duke is a follower, a spineless coward. That he allowed Tara's family to suffer all those many years without coming forward is unconscionable. Period. There are no legitimate reasons. There are no valid excuses. Justice was not served on any level for this atrocious, inhuman act of barbarism. I grieve for Tara, an innocent life lost and for her loving, devastated family for which there will never be any peace. Only raw and endless pain.
I think the sentence is fair. What a tragedy.
I knew when the judge started talking Duke was getting the 10 years lol…. And the statement of the stepmother was the best I have ever heard and I watch alot of these on Court TV…
So does he gotta serve 10 years or I'd -4 years from 10 my kid kept bugging me lol
love this judge
So no one is responsible for her death ? Wow
Hearing the victim's statements, I could not help but also cry. I've had a loved one murdered and it's an unimaginable pain. If Ryan is truly not guilty of murder, but of concealing the body, I hope he's able to move on with his life and Tara's family find some kind of peace in healing thru this horrible tragedy.
Now you can return that suit.🖐🏼
Was he found guilty?
So now his defense attorney is a mind reader and knew what the jury believed or didn’t believe. I love how the judge responded to that argument. Does anyone know if he had private counsel? It amazes me how many ppl believe this man isn’t guilty of her murder.
I don’t know anything about this other than seeing blips on this program & actually felt bad for this guy. He seems very slow, like not capable of planning a murder. Is he mentally disabled?
I liked this judge….
Dude should've got longer… i realize thats what the judge was limited to… if i was him id of thrown maximum fines on top of it… Which if i recall they weren't really that much anyway… I am sure the family will win a big fat settlement civilly if they choose to pursue one… & they should…
This one message from this beautiful woman Tara's Mother is that you will have to get the apologies for your actions from the Lord thy GOD The Father and his son Jesus Christ.
I saw Ryan coming out of the courthouse. I didn't realize he was so short. Glad he will be out soon but I was hoping he would go home today.
