Man I loved watching this young brotha do his thang on the screen. RIP Merlin Santana
Somethings are just better unknown. In 2002 I recall the day I heard Merlin Santana had been shot in the head while sitting in a car in California. What I didn’t know was the details surrounding his case. Or I had forgotten. Either way I watched Celebrity Crime Files last night and I was disgusted by what I learned. I kinda wish I hadn’t watched it. To learn that this young talented, handsome and yes by all appearances arrogant but sexy man was gun down because a little girl lied and said he raped her had me fuming. Before they announced her age I had all kinds of words for her and none were nice, but at the time she was 15 years old so I wasn’t going to disrespect someone’s child but her lie b/c of possible lack of attention caused the death of one man, and sent two other men to prison for nothing. This young lady was sentenced as an adult for her role in the death of Merlin Santana but 10 years seems like nothing. Total disregard and disrespect for human life. Fellows make sure you know the age of these females y’all are dealing with. It’s possible had this child not only lied about who she was but how old she was, had he known her real age it’s possible he wouldn’t have had any dealings with her and may be alive today. Prayers of Peace and Blessings to his daughter who never got a chance to know her father all because a little girl tried to play an adult game and couldn’t handle the hand she was dealt. I honestly would like to hear from this woman today. She should be about 25-26 years old. Nothing she says would ever bring him back but to just know where her train of thought or lack thereof. I don’t know. I just like to know the WHY, even tho’ the why rarely makes any sense it’s an answer. May Merlin Santana forever R.I.P.
Regardless of her age she knew what she was doing and should have gotten more time for her role in the murder of Merlin Santana.

It’s very sad when you still watch the Steve Harvey Show and see Merlin Santana and knowing he was taken from this world because of a lie. I agree 10 years is not enough because she was wrong and evil. Karma will bit her in the ass and she better hope she don’t have any kids to where it hunts her.

Your narrow minded and inflammatory statement about “Foreign Domination” and whites represents the real cancerous conditions in our society; racism, ignorance, and intolerance. All of which you evidently hold dear and publicly promote. It is due time that people take responsibility for their actions and not blame others, or make excuses for the poor choices they make in life. As far as “this little girl and those wayward young men…” you mentioned, give me a break! These three individuals shamefully took the life of Merlin Santana, a young man that represented the best in all of us. They alone are responsible for the heinous act they committed and were rightfully held accountable. You suggesting otherwise is irresponsible and down-right insulting.

I love the Steve Harvey show! A woman should never lie about rape. It pains me that such a lie could lead to such a tragedy. I don’t know the whole story and I don’t have all the answers but what an example for the future of why women should never lie about being raped. It’s a very serious thing. A wise man once told me that our generation has no shame.

It appears that statement earns more and more truth everyday. We care more about money and fame than we do people lives. Today someone fall, instead of extending a hand to help them up we extend our hand in their face with our phones to record the moment. No one should ever lie about being raped, it’s such a hard crime to prove and often the victim is treated worse than the rapist. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

It’s crazy that 12 years later, I still get sad whenever I think about Merlin. I grew up watching him so technically, he was a part of my childhood. Monique is not only someone I despise for her actions, she also happens to be family. Her actions have not only cost Merlin his life, it has also torn apart our family. There are some who accept her with open arms and there are people like me who struggle with forgiving her. She now has a son who just turned one and from what I see, shows no remorse or regret for her actions (she just gives out a bunch of excuses.) I struggle hard with forgiving her and letting GOD get the final say. Merlin was adored and loved by many and at times, I wanted to publish her FB name and/or address but then I would be just as evil as her, right? Regardless, I am sure Monique will get what is coming to her soon. BTW, the show seemed to blame her upbringing as the reason she lied; however, she has siblings who are currently in college working towards degrees. They should have blamed her actions on her pure selfish disposition and not ever taking responsibility for anything.

Wow, that sounds like a rough spot to be in. Don’t publish her FB, as the saying goes, what comes around, goes back around. I’m not saying someone is going to kill her, and GOD knows I pray for the protection of her son, Lord please be the fence around him but when people do things to other people, they never know where their life is going to lead them. SHE, and she alone will pay for all she’s done. Luck is going to run out and she is going to live a karma filled life. Congrats to her siblings who took a wiser, and more responsible path. May they continue to excel in life.

Very well written. I remember first hearing of his death and being just floored…he was so full of life on the screen not to mention easy on the eyes. I always wondered exactly why did he get shot? This explains why. There is a place in hell for girls like Monique. I’m sure she has no regrets or feelings for what she did and her actions leading to a senseless MURDER. Sociopaths have no remorse or feelings but we all know she will get hers one day.

I was locked up with her when she was in CYA. The first picture you posted is her, but the second one isn’t. Haven’t heard much about her since she was released, but while she was in there she was a real piece of work. She’s a compulsive lier and manipulated. She’s a sociopath and chances are she hasn’t changed since then. She is on FB under some other name, but like I said, it’s likely she has t changed. She would always tell stories in there and never really talked about the details of her case. But yeah she is an evil person- don’t surprise me that she would like about something like rape. May he rest in peace.

Thanks for the heads up I’ll remove the 2nd one. It’s sad after all she has done she hasn’t learned a lesson and gotten any better. I just hope she doesn’t cause anyone else to lose their life. The first time she was young and ignorant of a special kind today she is grown and after looking back at all the pain she has caused others you would think she would have taken advantage while in prison and gotten her life together. Hopefully you’re getting your life together and staying out of prison. Good luck to you.

This is the problem with our Justice System today. Too many young people get off with either light sentences or no sentences because of their age. This must stop. Is life a justified penalty for a life regardless of age? At first I thought maybe 20-30 would be good but given the malicious thoughts and acts being carried out by so many young people I’m beginning to believe a life (prison for life) for a life is justified.

Monique King update:
She has been released from custody for the incident involving Merlin Santana. She has 2 misdamenor arrest that I found one in Long Beach CA on 2/29/12 sentenced to 20 days released on 3/3/12 a 2nd arrest on 3/10/12 in Hollywood CA released with a future court date for 4/6/12 she just turned 25 on 2/11/12 and based on her conviction she was sentenced to California youth authority to the age of 25 so from the looks of things she is off to another bad start and she is back on the streets after 10 years probably a thousand times worse.

So she has not learned anything from her act. Sadly only two kind are released from prison, those who are determined to be and do better or those who take the worse of the prison and end up back in. I just hope no one else dies b/c of her. Thank you for the update I will Google her. You would think if nothing else the guilt of the lie resulting in this innocent person’s death would be enough to straighten her out. She probably doesn’t even accept any responsibility for his death. She most likely blames him. I pray she gets it together and if she doesn’t the only one she hurts is her. Thanks again for the update and for commenting.
