  • Robin Kittrell wants early release

    Student who brought weapons to school wants out of detention:

    If you’ve been following this site for a while you may remember the story of Robin Kittrell. He was the teen from Whitewater High School in Georgia who brought a cache of weapons to school on the first day of classes allegedly to prevent a Columbine-line situation from happening.

    The weapons cache consisted of…

    …a 4-inch switchblade knife discovered in Kittrell’s front jeans pocket. Among the weapons were a a Colt .38 Officer’s Model revolver, a Colt semi-automatic 22 pistol, an M1 30 caliber carbine rifle, a 22 caliber long-range rifle, a Ninja-style sword, flex-cuffs, and two speedloaders for the revolvers.

    He pleaded guilty to the charges against him and was sentenced to 10 years which consists of boot camp, two years in juvenile detention, one year of intensive probation and the rest on normal probation.

    Kittrell’s attorney is requesting an early release for him and to be treated as a first offender. First offender status would allow Kittrell to have his record cleared after completion of his sentence.

    The prosecution opposes both requests.

    The judge will rule on the requests once Kittrell himself appears in court.

    As much as I feel for the kid he shouldn’t be released until he at least completes any psychological counseling that the court ordered.

  • Schallenberger indicted

    SC teen indicted on 3 federal charges in bomb plot:

    Ryan Schallenberger has been indicted on three federal charges. However, the most severe charge of possessing a weapon of mass destruction has been dropped. That charge could have kept Schallenberger in jail for life. The other 3 charges could keep him in jail for 40 years.

    The federal grand jury indicted Schallenberger for receiving and attempting to receive an explosive, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison; attempting to damage and destroy real property by explosive, which carries five to 20 years in prison; and possessing an unregistered destructive device, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years behind bars.

    Schallenberger had ammonium nitrate delivered to his house in an alleged plot to attack Chesterfield High School in South Carolina.

  • Odgren prison tapes still disallowed

    Judge again rules against use of jailhouse conversations in Odgren case:

    On Friday a judge ruled once again that the taped jailhouse conversations of John Odgren. Previously prosecutors asked for all the tapes but this time they narrowed their request to 10 to 15 hours of tape.

    Prosecutors want the tapes to show that Odgren doesn’t really have Aspergers which is the key to his defense.

  • Billi enters plea

    Ohio man pleads not guilty in school attack plot:

    Accused school shooting plotter and child porn lover, Lee Billi, has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.

    As I’m sure you know the 33-year-old Billi was arrested for conspiring to commit mass shootings in two different locations with 16-year-old Russell Frantom. It was also discovered that Billi had a plethora of child pron on his some computer. Enough to keep him behind bars for possibly 325 years.

  • Lee Billi: Mutant and Pedophile

    Man Accused of School Shooting Plot Now Faces Child Porn Charges:

    Back when 33-year-old Lee Billi was first arrested for conspiring to attack schools along with 16-year-old Russell Frantom of Penn High School in Indiana I theorized that maybe their friendship over MySpace wasn’t just because of their mutual admiration of Columbine. I in inferred that maybe Billi was grooming Frantom for something even more inappropriate. As it turns out I may have been right.

    A search of Billi’s computer by investigators has turned up a cache of child pornography.

    As a result, Billi now faces 38 counts of pandering sexually oriented matter involving minors.

    Now Billi could be looking at a max of 325 years behind bars.

  • More on Joe Nee’s parole

    Nee and Kerns are both out of jail:

    The following are the terms of Joe Nee’s parole.

    Harris said parole supervision for Nee included counseling for anger management and a mental health evaluation. Nee also has to be screened for alcohol and drug use and has a nightly curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. He is under parole supervision until July. Coria Holland, spokesperson for the state commissioner on probation, said Nee would be on probation until May 2010.

    I wonder how many incidents between now and May of 2010 will be swept under the rug due to Nee’s connections. I also get the feeling that his so-called mental evaluation and anger management classes will be just formalities.

    Nee received early release from his sentence but yet the innocent, in my opinion, Tobin Kerns was denied early release. Was Tobin denied early release because of something he did or was it just because he’s not the son of the head of the Boston police union?

  • Joe Nee’s release confirmed

    Marshfield High massacre plotter released from jail:

    It has now been confirmed that the ringleader in the plot to attack Marshfield High in Massachusetts, Joe Nee, has been released.

    Nee had a parole hearing on March 28 and was paroled on May 8, said Terrel Harris, spokesman for the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. The parole hearing came after Nee had served about half of his jail sentence.

    Isn’t that funny how that works? By all reports, I received Tobin Kerns was a model prisoner and he served every last day of his sentence.

    Nee’s early release wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that his father is a powerful Boston policeman, is it?

    Personally, I hope that state authorities investigate Nee’s obvious preferential treatment but I won’t hold my breath on that one.

  • Lori Drew indicted

    Neighbor Indicted In MySpace Suicide Case:

    In case you haven’t heard by now Lori Drew has been federally indicted in the suicide death of Megan Meier. For those of you that have been living under the proverbial rock for the past year Drew created a fake MySpace of a teenage boy in order to humiliate the 16-year-old Meier. Drew had someone create the fake profile of a ‘Josh Evans’ in which the non-existent Evans took a liking to Megan. When Evans revealed himself to be a fake and told Megan that the world would be better off without her Megan Meier committed suicide. It was later revealed that the whole plot was masterminded by the 49-year-old Lori Drew whose daughter Megan Meier was allegedly feuding with.

    Originally Missouri prosecutors had said that no charges could be filed against Drew. However federal prosecutors in California, where MySpace is headquartered, handed down an indictment against Drew on charges of fraud and conspiracy.

    When Drew is arraigned in June she will be transported from Missouri to L.A.

    Drew is looking at 20 years behind bars.

    Thanks to Angie, Bay, and Gage for the tips.

  • Odgren’s prison tapes disallowed

    Use of taped conversations barred in student’s trial:

    The judge presiding over the proceedings of accused killer John Odgren has ruled that recorded conversations between Odgren and his parents are inadmissible.

    If you’ll remember a then 16-year-old Odgren stabbed 15-year-old James Alenson to death in a random attack at Lincoln-Sudbury High School in Massachusetts.

    Prosecutors wanted to use the tape to prove that Odgren is sane. Odgren’s attorney is using an insanity defense because Odgren has Aspergers.

    Again I say being genetically socially inept does not make you insane and Odgren’s lawyer is doing a great disservice to Asperger’s patients by using an insanity defense.

    Prosecutors will appeal and are confident that the tapes will be allowed in the trial.

  • Andrew Golden deposition rescheduled

    Andrew Golden Deposition Temporarily Blocked:

    The attorney for the Jonesboro shooter that hasn’t been rearrested, yet, Andrew Golden, is filing a petition to keep a deposition private. The deposition is for a wrongful death suit stemming from the Jonesboro shooting.

    Apparently Golden is trying to keep a low profile. He seems to be learning from Mitchell Johnson’s mistakes.
