Monroe County Sheriff's Office
Carolyn Dukeshire pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for shooting a man who refused to give her a can of Busch Light beer.
Dukeshire, who was facing a first-degree murder charge and made a deal with prosecutors, submitted a statement to the judge saying she was remorseful and would pay the rest of her life for losing her composure.
Police say Dukeshire had approached Mazur outside his Conch Key home and asked him for a can of Busch Light.
"Do you have a cold beer for me?" she asked, according to a Monroe County Sheriff's Office report.
"I have absolutely nothing for you," he replied.
That's when Dukeshire, who had no previous arrest history in Monroe County, shot Mazur five times. He later died at a nearby hospital.


Isn't shooting someone for refusing to provide you a beer legal in Florida? It's awful hot and humid down there.
She was just standing her ground
Or in her case, Stumbling her ground.
Why is it that it is politically correct to call this woman "sea hag", but not call the rest of the scum in society what they are?
That Busch Light must be an exceptional beer.
WOW-I did the same thing and Goggled a pix. of her myself. Thank God it is too early for dinner or I would have had it all over the keyboard. I don't think any of the inmates are looking forward to having her amongst them for the next 30 years either.
She looks like the kind of person that would hand you a bottle of beer and then get down on all fours. When you ask her why she was in that position she would have told you she was just being friendly and thought you might have wanted to open it too.
I can just see the banners at liqueur stores now. People kill for Busch.
It's like making love on the beach, Bill.
@denverbill 2, yes it is...
When I saw the headline I thought "Florida".............yep:)
It wasn't so much the lack of beer that prompted Mazur to not give this woman a beer, it was the fear that after several beers it might have led to sex. Sometimes, death if preferable.
So, in other words, it's a lot like Coors Light.
Seriously though, I didn't realize there were trailer parks in Key West. But then, it is still Florida!
"Isn't shooting someone for refusing to provide you a beer legal in Florida? It's awful hot and humid down there."
Is that part of the 'Stand your ground' law?
I've seen examples of people shooting others because they got drunk, but shooting someone because they WANT to get drunk is a new one on me.

Because she's White - the only remaining class that is not 'protected' by PC.
lol
I wouldn't thought she would claim self defense. Isn't it her right to have that beer, regardless of who it belongs to? Gotta love Florida. Without her beer, she won't last 1 year let along 30.
Six bullets in her gun and 6 beers in a six pack..............coincidence...............don't think so.
Mifo -
You mean the sand you find in places you didn't even know existed?
Our crazy legal system, that wealthy guy who killed his wife to avoid paying money on a divorce only got 5 years in jail. Good thing for him his reasons didn't include beer! You tell me the wealthy don't live under different laws than the rest of us - they're the ones who write them!
Holy cow... how crazy to kill somebody over a beer... but for a nasty ass Busch Light (one of the worst beers ever made despite the possibly sarcastic comments above) that's insane.
Drink more than two of them and you're almost guaranteed to get the runs... that's not beer.
Thanks Roy, I thought I had missed something like Dukeshire telling Mazur that she would gladly pay him Tuesday for a Busch Light today.
looks like a picture of kim.k...with out the make up...
Because she's White - the only remaining class that is not 'protected' by PC.
The only class that never believed in being PC.
They don't make sea hags in California. They all look like Baywatch.
Not anymore!
Bullcrap

Forgive me, but that really pisses me off. If it were not for white people believing in equality, willing to kill their brothers, black people would still be slaves. Don't label. If it were not for white people who still believe the same, an African American would have never become president.
Who is the racist?
floriduh...change'n their image...from...got milk...to...got beer...and obama gon'a blame busch...
I don't think they "got along well". YAH?
I would ask you to provide a little bit of proof to that but I'd be wasting my time. Everyone and evrything is protected by P.C. speech. You can say whatever you want but there will be a cost.
john-737278: What is it with people like you and Michael? Nowhere in the article is race mentioned, but you two took it there for no reason. Both of you need to grow up and at least act like men.

The fact of the matter is that if this woman was from any other race calling her "sea hag" would have been viewed as offensive, but not in this case. I argue that it is a one sided view of political correctness.
sea hags...ain't got nothing on the crack hags...or the meth hags...ugly lies in hag of the beholder...
Michael-412302 "Because she's White - the only remaining class that is not 'protected' by PC.........The only class that never believed in being PC."
I understand that Whites will soon be in the minority in this country. Will they get to qualify for Affirmative Action and other 'quotas' when that happens for college admissions and government jobs?
john-737278 "The fact of the matter is that if this woman was from any other race calling her "sea hag" would have been viewed as offensive, but not in this case. I argue that it is a one sided view of political correctness."
Your argument would be correct.
I am a California girl and have been for 50 yrs there are some really bad looking ladies not meaning sea hag but bar hags, and they live up to their name and that lady that wanted a beer so bad to have to kill for it in my eyes is a discussing bar hag !!!!! Who will do anything to get that beer like a drug addict to get their drugs really no difference to me and I'm thankful I don't do either one and still look 20 yrs younger then I am . Guns are not the answer guns don't kill people, stupid people kill people and were all are here on this earth which is hell and we're being tested by the man upstairs to what we do and how we act ... That lady deserves everything she gets in prison killing a man because he wouldn't give up his beer is dumb and if someone came up to me and asked or in her case demanded a cup of coffee and I didn't have would she have shot me probably cause she has mental issues and needs to be in a hospital in a padded room...
there are still live and well pirates living in the Florida keys and a favorite hang out is the crowsnest sea hag was one of em surprised she didn't ask for rum instead
probably knew the only thing the man had was beer
He had given her beer in the past. Her name in that area had been hers for years. Thus "sea hag".
david-3891268 -- David, you beat me too it. That is the 1st funny thing I remember from the original story. I think I seen her on Mugshots also. That Florida sun plays havoc with people, especially the gals who were Bikini Babes in their teens and 20s. I lived in Fl for work many years ago and stayed in touch with some friends. I went back to visit and a couple of the most beautiful gals from those days, now in their late 50s and solid middle class look almost as bad without the makeup and hairdo. Of course the cheap booze does help.
Yep, let's make sure everyone has a gun.
You never know when somebody will withhold a beer.
I have no problem with people having guns, but there are just simply too many stupid people in the US.
4 out of 10 people in the recent survey think we are near the end of the world, that scares the hell out of me when they happen to have guns.
I'm all for keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of stupid people. Can we start with your keyboard?
@jkatze, best comment ever...rofl
@CuongDNguyen - Don't forget the other 4 out of 10 who are arming up for the inevitable upcoming "race wars."
Nothing good ever comes from alcohol.
eleven out of ten lobbyist... according to a recent...'over paid for government survey'...preferr their politicians...to have undocumented money...making laws...
TheKhanKubla,
Perhaps the idea of fighting against another race in a war isn't as appealing as going after the wealthiest people (the tiniest fraction of 1%) who are behind the fanning of the flames between people so they can rule over the survivors in a new society of peasants in a feudal system.
Fight the system, not one another.
I wouldn't exactly call Busch Lite beer or alcohol.
i bet people that read this article will give a can of beer now
and i bet it wouldn't of happened over pot
pot heads are more willing to share
Please don't start any " helter skelter" rumors.......please.
the night maniac -- pot heads are more willing to share -- maybe in my days, the 60s, when a 5 Finger bag cost $15.00, from what I hear today at $300.00 an ounce, the meanies took over from us Flower Children.
What is going on with people? Murder for trivial reasons?
We need to get it together as a society. This is truly sick.
Uh... perhaps you read the story. She's a drunk. By the looks of her a long-term drunk. I'm guessing that just maybe, she was drunk when she killed the guy for not gettting a beer. What do you think?
Death penalty to ANYONE who murders regardless of the weapon used! Only exception is self defense!! Two years to clear the paperwork, NO appeals, then give em' the shot! It's time to get tougher with these sickos!!
What a tragic end for two lives. It can be frightening to consider, in reviewing cases like this,that one doesn't get any warning, when a person they know, may snap. Whether from a medical condition, mental illness, family problems or long standing feud.
As people take stands on various positions which they think will reduce the violence and deaths like these the fact remains, these situations will always to be with us, no matter what ultimately happens. There is no perfect system to guess who will break the law,seek revenge, get ill,and folks will find ways to harm those they target, using whatever is available. People simply have their agency, bottom line.
Face it, this is a society where violence is so obviously a daily occurrence, promoted in media entertainment and practically no one, bats an eye at punks being shot. The President didn't even sign one Executive Order when the 70 Colorado Aurora victims were shot. Maybe he didn't want to lose the re-election, huh?
Ironically it has only been when parents have lost a child, that the most good has happened. Like the Amber Alert,originally named for Amber Hagerman, killed in Texas in 1996,and now used in several countries. John Walsh's son Adam was killed, he helped successfully advocate Congress for the creation of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.Then helped launch America's Most Wanted 1988-2012. So successful,people were often caught before the show ended(over 1,200), longest running show of its type in history.However, it isn't even the first one. Other programs had aired earlier, including Wanted.AMW covered all types of suspects including terrorists, gangs, rapists and eventually international.
How tragic a man is dead over such a small material incident. She has wasted all the years ahead of her because she lost her temper. Society is once more going to be footing the bill until she dies
Windancersong-1494878 -- Yep, very few care. We have become so jaded as a people in the USA. Philosophically, I attribute a lot of it to too many new laws, loss of personal privileges like smoking, sitting in your car drinking a beer or whatever, nosy neighbors who talk you and then report you for breaking a law, self righteous evangelicals (as it is said, the christian army is the only army that shoots it's wounded, unrelentless greed, helicopter parents (boarding on incest), and other similar things. I have traveled extensively in my career and I see the most of it here in the USA. Whatever happened to home rule and grassroots responsibilities?
OMG! I just googled a picture of these 2.
A beer wouldn't help her any and more beer wouldn't have done him much more harm.
jkatze, you got me to look, no $hit those two are off the chart beat ugly. This is the effect of alcohol and sun over many years. I would ask to just be shot at a nice sunset. Goodbye Sea Hag.......
Ok now you got me to look, similar to a person standing on a corner looking up and everyone else has to look up. I like this article, where the only picture they found of the victim is from his most recent arrest..
http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/blog/2012/07/31/woman-nicknamed-sea-hag-charged-with-killing-man-who-wouldnt-give-her-beer/index.html
She looks like she would be a good match for Donald Trump.
jkatze -- based on your comment, I Googled her too just to see what you were talking about. That is NOT the skin of a 62 year old woman. 92, maybe. My god, her face is leather!!!
Those 2(killer and victim), are prime examples of what happens when you don't try to take care of yourself, and/or drink excessivley your whole life.
Wow, I thought that was a man, not a woman!
Guys take it easy on the poor woman............at least she wanted a "light" beer to maintain her figure.
That is not a woman! That is an ugly, old man wearing a long, blond wig!
I went to the other site. The part that truly amazed me was that the victim had a 30 year old girlfriend! He must have had something going for him that isn't obvious.
Or.......his 30 year old girlfriend was a fuggly hosebeast!
"Release the
KrakenSea Hag!" She must have been the Terror of Shanty-Town...This woman needs to be shanked in her cirrhotic liver in the prison shower and left to bleed to death while the other inmates urinate on her.
Have a nice day.
busch light??? when your 62 i don't think it matters if it's 1st or 2nd degree murder...does it?? if it's not calif then it's florida....wierd people there..
Let Captian Pissscum have his day with her.... arghhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Maybe if they had just called her Carolyn........
I wonder if she passed a background check when purchasing the gun?
She has no arrest record, in Monroe county. Is Florida so backwards that all you have to do is move counties to clear your record? Does she have a murder record in the next county?
TFNJ, arrest records stay in the county in Florida and are always there, not that I would know :) Monroe is a drunken Conch Republic where drinking is an expectation as long as you don't kill anyone. She crossed the one rule the have there.........
It's Obama's fault!
Its Sponge Bobs' fault
Ok I'll say it. Its Busch's fault.
She wanted a Busch beer so it HAS to be Bushs fault.
damn that Busch
I'd kill for a cold one right now...
I have absolutely nothing for you, Sea Hag
Maybe we'll see that tactic used against Jeff Probst on the next season of "Survivor":
"Old man, you've won the competition. Enjoy your hot pizza and a case of ice cold Busch Light! Sea Hag, I have nothin' for ya, head on back to camp."
BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM
I could see maybe shooting him once...but you don't shoot someone 5 times unless they refuse you a shot of Woodford Reserve...hell, anybody knows that.
and in that case you don't stop till the clip is empty!
the clip was empty the rest of the bullets missed
Lets change the situation a little. Obama says give me your guns or else.
I don't get it.
Where was Popeye?
He was eating olive(s). She's an organ donor. She's donating her skin to Spaulding, Voit, and Wilson. She definately has a fitting nickname!
People People please....GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE WITH GUNS DO!
Beer kills
niteman you got that right
as hot as she is and he didn't want to give her a can of beer.
Busch Lite - it's to die for.
Obama could have prevented this with another beer summit;-).
See, theres always a way to defuse a troubling situation.
Hope , nobody is thinking of banning beer again?? prohibition???
Of course, then the Keys would leave the union.
At least she didn't use it to wash down a nice "face snack" like the other whackadoo several months ago. There's something about Florida. Must be TOO much sun instead of not enough.
Giver a Beer! She Fessed Up!
Huh? Isn't Busch beer like 2 for $1? Maybe he should have given her the $1. Poor dude
Now that is something that Popeye could not even accomplish.
Your looking better Hillary
