Bait and Switch, Kendrick Demu and George Carter

In this episode, Bait and Switch the murder of Christian Marton by Kendrick Demus and George Carter is covered. 

A&E describes this episode as: The case of Christian Marton, whose two-hour journey to Dallas to buy a second-hand car resulted in his brutal murder.Meanwhile, Demus told George Carter that someone was going to buy the car from him and asked if Carter was willing to “jack” or rob him. They agreed to divide the money 50/50. A few days later, Demus called Carter, told him Marton was coming to Dallas to meet him, and asked Carter to “jack” him. Carter met with Demus and Demus gave him a gun wrapped in a black T-shirt. Then, Demus told Carter where to find Marton.

        Four days later, Marton called Stafford, told her Demus had lowered the price of the car, and stated he wanted to go get the car. Marton and Stafford drove to Dallas in the red Tahoe, which had a trailor attached for the purpose of transporting the car. Marton and Stafford planned to meet Demus at the Whataburger. However, Demus told Marton he was already at “the apartment complexes” and gave them directions. Marton and Stafford did not see Demus or the car in the apartment complex, so they parked outside the complex and called Demus to tell them where they were.

        While waiting for Demus to arrive, Marton stood outside the Tahoe talking to Benny on his cellular telephone. Stafford remained inside the Tahoe “texting.” On the windows of the Tahoe was a written notice that the rims were for sale. Carter approached Marton and inquired about the rims on the Tahoe. Then, Stafford heard Carter say “give me your money and get off the phone.” She said she saw Carter point a gun at Marton. Then, Marton reached for his concealed gun and Carter fired the gun at Marton. She heard Marton scream and watched Carter turn and run away. Marton died from the gunshot wound.

Kendrick Demus and George Carter were convicted and sentenced to prison. Kendrick was sentenced to life without parole, and George was sentenced to twenty years.
