Tadaryl Shipp ka naam 1995 mein Knoxville, Tennessee ke ek darawane hatyakand se juda tha. Us waqt, vo sirf 17 saal ka tha aur Christa Pike ke saath milkar ek ladki, Colleen Slemmer, ka besharmi se qatal kar diya tha. Yeh hatya itni bhayanak thi ki aaj bhi log is par vishwas nahi kar paate. Christa Pike ne Colleen ki khopdi ka ek hissa trophy ke taur par rakh liya tha, jo is case ko aur bhi zyada daravana bana deta hai.
Is ghatna ke baad, Tadaryl Shipp ko jeevan kaaravas ki saza sunayi gayi, lekin kyunki vo us waqt 18 saal se kam umra ka tha, is wajah se usko maut ki saza nahi mili. Doosri taraf, Christa Pike ko Tennessee ki ekmatra mahila death row inmate banaya gaya, jo aaj bhi maut ka intezaar kar rahi hai. Unka ek aur saathi, Shadolla Peterson, jo is hatya mein shamil thi, usko probation diya gaya.
Ab sawaal yeh uthta hai ki Tadaryl Shipp ab kaha hai? Vartamaan mein vo Northwest Correctional Complex, Tiptonville, Tennessee jail mein apni zindagi bita raha hai. Uska naam aaj bhi logon ke beech utni charcha mein nahi aata jitna Christa Pike ka aata hai, shayad isliye kyunki uski saza thodi kam thi aur vo media ke samne zyada nahi aaya.
Lekin ek badi baat yeh hai ki Tadaryl Shipp ko 2026 mein parole ke liye ek moka mil sakta hai. Matlab, agar kanoon uske achhe vyavhaar ko dhyan mein rakhe, toh ho sakta hai ki vo jail se bahar aa jaye. Yeh faisla Tennessee Parole Board ke haath mein hoga ki vo ab ek badla hua insaan hai ya nahi.
Yeh case ek yaad dilata hai ki kaise kabhi kabhi chhoti umra ke log bhi aise apradh kar dete hain jo samaj ko hila kar rakh dete hain. Aage dekhna yeh hoga ki Tadaryl Shipp ki zindagi ka agla adhyaay kya hota hai – kya vo jail se bahar aayega ya hamesha ke liye parde ke peechhe rahega?
