Killer's MySpace: 'I'm pretty harmless'

DENVER, May 19 (UPI) -- A convicted killer who may receive the death penalty in Colorado has a MySpace page where he describes himself as "pretty harmless."

Sir Mario Owens, 23, is serving a life sentence for a 2004 murder and may face the death penalty after he was convicted of killing Javad Marshall-Fields and his girlfriend, Vivian Wolfe, in 2005, KMGH-TV, Denver, reported Monday.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for the slayings of Marshall-Fields and Wolfe.

Owens' MySpace page is maintained by his cousin, because Colorado prisons do not allow prisoners to access the internet, KMGH-TV reported.

"I was recently caught up in some b/s, so ya boy on lockdown in Canon City, Colorado," Owens wrote on his page's "About Me" section. "I don't get to the computer much, so I'll have my cousin update me on this myspace joint when I'm not able to get to it. I'm really just here to find new friends. I have a lot of time on my hands, as you can tell, so I just want someone to write to back and forth. Ya know what I mean? It really doesn't matter what it's about, I just need something to take time off from here sometimes. You could think of it as being Pen Pals and what not. I'm pretty harmless."

The page does not specify his crimes or mention that he may face the death penalty.
