Black Crimes Matter: 14 year old Jupiter Paulsen
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Hey folks, I am the shameless Berg.
Hope you're doing well today.
Saw this story going around.
This is from a few years ago.
It feels like a lifetime ago because so much stuff is just happening all the time these days, you know.
Nevertheless, their names need to be remembered, so we're going to go over this story.
I'm going to be reading here from lawandcrime.com.
The headline reads, North Dakota man sentenced in stabbing and strangulation death of 14-year-old skateboarding girl.
According to jury, Arthur Prince Cauley, 23, stabbed and then strangled 14-year-old Jupiter Paulson to death for roughly 30 minutes in the parking lot of a party city in Fargo, North Dakota during the summer of 2021.
Now, Cauli will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole.
I mean, it's good that he at least got locked up.
You know, life without parole, whatever.
You know, that does mean that we're still paying to like feed and house him and keep breath in his lungs.
And so, as far as I'm concerned, justice hasn't necessarily been served, but, you know, we'll take it for now.
In September of this year, jurors found the defendant guilty on charges of murder, robbery, and aggravated assault over the aggravated assault over the brutal attack on the teenager.
They deliberated for less than two hours, according to Fargo NBC affiliate KVLY.
We got him, Jupiter's mother, Antonia Johnson, said after the verdict.
The TV station reported, we got him and it's over.
Rest.
Just know that justice was served.
Justice for Jupiter.
I still find it unsatisfactory.
I don't think justice was served.
He's still alive.
So justice has not been served.
And there's no amount high enough that he can pay back the debt of doing this.
The young girl was murdered as she was skateboarding from her father's house to her mother's house on the morning of June 4th, 2021.
At the time of her death, her parents said the trip had been made by their daughter numerous times before without incident.
The attack occurred roughly between 6.30 a.m. and lasted until nearly 7 a.m.
A sanitation worker found Coley kneeling over his victim.
According to prosecutors, Paulson was stabbed 25 times, strangled, and stomped on.
Her official manner and cause of death was ruled to be homicide by manual strangulation, the medical examiner found.
The girl did not die at the scene.
She succumbed to her wounds days later at a nearby hospital, People magazine reported at the time.
Instead of protecting her, the defendant murdered her in cold blood for really what is the worst of reasons, the contents in her backpack.
Great.
Cass County Assistant State's Attorney Ryan Younggren said in comments reported by KVLY.
Gives me that.
I mean, I guess it's her fault because she oppressed him by not gives me dadding for him, you know?
Gives me that.
And you're just not, you know, what little buzz it may have gotten in the media went way out of the collective memory almost immediately.
People aren't talking about her.
People are still talking about that loser, George Floyd.
People are still talking about him and how he overdosed himself under a cop's knee and how we're supposed to feel really bad.
And we should remember him and how he should still be here, you know, so that he can stick up more pregnant women at gunpoint and swallow his stash in every police encounter and use counterfeit money.
Those are the people that, you know, that's who we're supposed to cry over and care about and who we're supposed to mourn the loss of and wish we're still here.
That's who we're supposed to remember.
Not somebody like poor Jupiter Paulson here.
You know, her life, I guess, just didn't matter.
During the trial, the prosecution showed jurors a TikTok video in which an effervescent Paulson shares her wisdom with the world.
I hope everyone has a great day, the girl said in the footage recorded just months before she was gone forever.
I just want everyone to be themselves.
Don't act like somebody else just because somebody wants you to be that person.
You matter.
Everybody matters, and I love you guys.
That's wholesome.
That's wholesome.
Everybody does not matter, though.
Let's just be clear about that.
But, you know, heart of gold, heart of gold.
The girl's father, Robert Paulson, testified that his daughter, who had in recent weeks secured her first ever job at a local Arby's was supposed to get paid on the day she died, according to KVLY.
And she wanted to take her sister out for a sister date with her first check, the grieving man told jurors.
Oh, man.
She was an amazing kid.
The girl's father went on to testify.
She could draw, she could sing, she played a couple instruments.
She could uplift her room by just showing up.
Only the good day, they say.
Prosecutors asked jurors to return the maximum sentence against Collie for the slaying.
The deceased girl's family urged the same.
He took a beautiful girl out of this world and he deserves to pay with his life.
But seeing as we don't have the death penalty here, life without parole, I believe, is just, Johnson said, according to KVLY.
You know what?
At least you expressed that obviously it's not quite enough, but they're getting the maximum of what's available.
But at least they can point out that ultimately it is unsatisfactory.
He continues to breathe and he's eating and being housed off of the taxpayer dime.
So it definitely is not satisfactory.
You can give him another slap on the wrist and I'll take matters into my own damn hands, Robert Paulson said.
Yes.
Yes.
That's what you do.
Collie has consistently maintained his innocence.
He claims not to have any knowledge about what happened to Jupiter Paulson.
During his sentencing, he apologized to the girl's family.
The defendant also told the court that he plans to appeal his conviction and sentence.
Okay.
Pick one.
I'm sorry for this thing I did.
Here, I also want to appeal my conviction and sentence when I shouldn't even be living and breathing.
Okay.
Incredible.
Yeah, so I just wanted to go over that.
You're not really going to hear about it.
It's not going to be commemorated.
Cringe murals are not going to be painted for it.
Statues are not going to be erected.
Cities are not going to burn.
There will not be a bunch of grandstanding and histrionics and a bunch of propaganda.
You're not going to have like every Fortune 500 company come out and, you know, vomit out their sympathies.
You're not going to see all the technocrats praising and sympathizing and expressing sorrow.
None of it.
The world will just be deaf.
We'll just be deaf to situations like this.
And until we decide otherwise.
That's all.
Until we decide otherwise.
Because nobody's going to do it for us.
This kind of stuff's just going to keep on happening.
And all the institutions that could, in theory, do something to help us are going to do little to nothing.
And that's when they're not actively working against us, which is more often the case.
You know, what if it was your daughter?
What if it was your sister or something?
You know, just think about it.
To him, she was just, you know, like his, her life was just cheap to him.
It was just so cheap.
It was just whatever might be in her backpack gives me that.
Gives me that.
And, you know, and it wasn't enough to try to take it.
No, no, no.
He had to take the moment to pulverize her and be like horrifically violent and cruel and just really drag it out, you know.
And that's, of course, why I think that there was racial animus.
Obviously, that would never be brought up in court, never.
But I mean, come on.
30 minutes of this for this little 14-year-old girl?
Get out of here.
That's absolutely crazy.
And, you know, imagine if the rules were reversed, blah, blah, blah.
You'd never hear the end of it.
Not in a million years.
Not in a million years.
This would be going on forever and ever and ever.
If it was little Jaquan, you know, or something like that, you'd be hearing about it forever, for time and eternity.
So I want to bring it to you, and I want to talk about it because these people deserve to be remembered.
And if it's not for Spurgs like me talking about it, they'll be forgotten.
And I'm not patting myself on the back here.
I just feel like that's a really good reason for me to keep doing this.
To make sure their stories get told, to make sure that their names are remembered.
Because society collectively just doesn't care at all.
Doesn't care.
And so some of us have to.
That all being said, thanks for tuning in.
Thanks for all your support.
Thanks for the insane number of subs that I have acquired in the last three weeks.
It's crazy.
I still don't know what to make of it, and I don't understand why it's taken off so much.
But you people have been very good to me and I appreciate it.
Yeah, that being said, I'll try to upload something tomorrow if I've got the time.
