  • Convicted killer Capano has one option

    Convicted killer Capano has one option | delawareonline | The News Journal

    The U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals has denied a petition from the once wealthy and politically connected Capano for a rehearing of his murder case by the entire court.

    This means Capano’s only legal option in his effort to overturn his conviction for the 1996 murder of Anne Marie Fahey is to petition the U.S. Supreme Court in the next 90 days.

    As closer to Tom Capano gets to exhausting his appeals I do a merry little jig inside. It’s just too bad this scumbag got out of his death sentence.

    If you’re unfamiliar with the case Tom Capano was a highly connected Delaware lawyer. He had an affair with the then governor’s secretary Anne Marie Fahey and eventually killed her. He dumped her body off the coast of South Jersey and the body was never found. During the investigation and trial Capano was a smug prick. Anything bad that happens to him makes me happy.

  • Jonesboro gunman sentenced

    Judge sentences Jonesboro shooter to 4 years:

    Jonesboro gunman and all around dreg Mitchell Johnson was sentenced to four years in prison on federal weapons and drug charges. Johnson was looking at a max of 10 years so I am a little disappointed he only got four.

    U.S. District Judge Jimm Larry Hendren did have a message for Johnson…

    “No matter what I do today, you will have a life to live,” said the judge. “Those who died in 1998 will not.”

    Johnson is still awaiting trial on state theft charges for stealing a customer’s debit card from the gas ‘n gulp he worked at.

  • The search for Giovanni Gonzalez continues

    Clear Channel Donates Billboard In Lynn Boy Search:

    I’ll get to Clear Channel in a second. First, investigators have said they are going to search a new area for Giovanni Gonzalez. They haven’t said what the new area will be or whether or not they’ve received any new information. Ernesto Gonzalez, Giovanni’s father, still sits in jail refusing to give police any information.

    Now on to Clear Channel. They’re donating a billboard that will contain pictures of Giovanni and Ernesto Gonzalez and contact information in case any one has seen him. The billboard will be in Lynn, Mass. where Giovanni disappeared from.

    In case anyone reading this blog may have actually seen Giovanni or has any information you can contact Lynn police at 781-595-2000.

  • Coroner’s report on Kimveer Gill

    Dawson shooter in ‘fragile’ mental state before getting gun licence:

    Quebec coroner Dr. Jacques Ramsay released his report on Kimveer Gill, the gunman behind the Dawson College shooting and the death of 18-year-old Anastasia de Sousa.

    Basically what it comes down to is that Kimveer Gill’s mental state came from excessive drinking. The drinking caused depression and suicidal thoughts. Gill did seek treatment but with a doctor’s blessing, he stopped taking his meds. The doctor recommended rehab for Gill but he never went.

    Doctor Ramsay also stated the obvious by saying was socially inhibited and had low self-esteem.

    So to sum it up Gill was an alcoholic, socially inept, loser. And a coward.

  • Hans Reiser’s children file wrongful death suit against their father

    Hans Reiser’s children file wrongful death suit against their father – San Jose Mercury News.

    The lawsuit claims Rory and Niorline Reiser, who live in Russia with their maternal grandmother, Irina Sharanova, “have suffered a tremendous loss, including the loss of love, support, companionship, comfort, affection and society of Nina,” due to their father’s murder of her.

    Maybe all his defenders can help chip in.

  • Hans Reiser Sentenced to 15-to-Life

    Hans Reiser Sentenced to 15-to-Life | Threat Level from Wired.com.

    Linux guru and convicted murdered Hans Reiser was handed a prison sentence of 15-to-life Friday, putting a final capstone on a case that began as a murder mystery, and ended with Reiser leading police to a makeshift grave a short distance from where he strangled his wife.

    This actually took place last week but I lost the story in the shuffle.

    I’m still wondering where all his supporters went to that said he didn’t do it, he’s just ‘different’.

  • Stiff sentence wanted for Jonesboro gunman

    Strict sentencing sought in Johnson case:

    Prosecutors in the federal gun and drug trial of Jonesboro shooter Mitchell Johnson have filed a motion asking for an ‘upward departure’ in Johnson’s sentencing.

    Sentencing is scheduled for this Thursday and Johnson is looking at 10 years.

    In their request, prosecutors noted that Johnson was arrested on theft charges while awaiting sentencing on the gun charges.

    TACOMA: Defendant in killing at Foss High declared competent to stand trial:

    Foss High School gunman, Douglas S. Chanthabouly, has been ruled mentally competent to stand trial in the January 2007 shooting death of Samnang Kok.

    Previously Chanthabouly had been ruled competent, then incompetent, and now after a review by Western State Hospital doctors, he’s ruled competent once again.

    As far as I can recollect no motive has yet to be divulged in the year-and-a-half-old shooting.

  • McKenzie-Gude to remain in jail

    Investigators: Md. Teen to Stay in Jail on Explosives Charges:

    You remember Colin McKenzie-Gude don’t you? He’s the 18-year-old from Bethesda, MD who was found with guns, explosives addresses of teachers from St. John’s College High School, and the President’s motorcade route to Camp David.

    He’s staying put in a Maryland jail because his parent’s put up their house as bond but it wasn’t enough.

    McKenzie-Gude’s attorney says he wants to resolve the case before it goes to trial.

    McKenzie-Gude himself says that he’s not a danger to the President or anyone else. Right, I’m sure the addresses, explosives, and map were for invitations to an elaborate fireworks display.

  • Doelitsch blames depression

    Teen Accused Of Plotting School Attack Blames Threats On Depression:

    18-year-old Allen Doelitsch is blaming the attack he planned on Champion High School in Boerne, Texas on his depression.

    “It’s just what I thought about doing at the time,” he said. “I don’t feel like doing it all the time. I never said anything about doing it. I just said I felt like it. I didn’t say I was going to.”

    “I don’t have any guns at my house,” he said. “I really don’t want to hurt other people. There’s no point. They didn’t do anything to me, so why would I do anything to them?”

    Mom allegedly took him off his meds for fear of future medical problems. Good work there Mom. However, it does throw a wrench into the works of the Luddites who usually blame the drugs for these kinds of crimes.

    He also blamed his actions on TV shows about Columbine.
