Anthony Standifer convicted of shooting Beverly Crowl in the head, killing her in botched robbery

The sheer stupidity of Kansas City’s criminal class is frightening. On Friday, Anthony

Standifer was convicted of shooting a retired Independence Police Department records clerk in the head, killing her in March 2010.

This is one of those murders that truly never had to happen but did, due to incompetent criminals. Standifer, 26, showed up at Beverly Crowl‘s home, which he mistook for a drug dealer’s that he had planned to rob of thousands of dollars of weed and money. But simply, he went to the wrong person’s door, and after failing to find what he was looking for, he shot Crowl in the head anyway and took her purse.
