If we apply Occam's Razor to what we know about the case, then home appears the simplest.

While I can sympathize with the person in question, I have to ask what did she expect on a crime discussion board that reviews old cases? If it hurts her this much she has the option of not viewing it and quite frankly, if I was a family member with a missing loved one I would be thankful that...

Well said. I'll only add that its not a question of NY's skyscrapers, sprinklers and building codes being better than the rest of the country. With the exception of L.A, New York City has more people per square mile who are dependent on competent rescue personel, than any other city in the...

I agree OM. Virginia has a speedy trial law that basically states a defendant has to be tried within 5 months or 9 months from the date of indictment (depending in circumstances) or they cannot be charged with the same crime(s) again...

IMO he would have to be. Even dives like the hotel he was staying in arent cheap. Add to that, that most meals would have to be purchased already made because the room doesnt have a kitchen. And hopefully money given to JH every payday for his own child, then gas, insurance, cigarettes...

How is it different? The parents and loved ones of victims aren't usually present during interrogations for one. Neither are reporters and other witnesses who are there for the express purpose of reporting news to the public. As to questions about the Grahams support for the death penalty, I...

According to these records, WH was under supervised release for a period of 3 years. Look on page 3 of 5. https://www.docketalarm.com/cases/Ohio_Southern_District_Court/2--05-cr-00258/USA_v._Hadsell/11/

To clarify my previous statement; WH could have been placed on federal probabation after release. Couple of things people need to be aware of in regards to federal probation however: First, the length of federal probation varies greatly and is dependent upon sentencing guidelines...

Virginia is State. Robbing a bank is a Federal crime and is subject to Federal laws. The Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 abolished federal parole and states that federal civilian defendants sentenced for offenses committed after November 1, 1987, would no longer be eligible for parole.

Its my understanding that Federal charges do not have probation or parole. Judges often do suspend time based on good behavior for a period of 5- 10 years. This very well may be why LE is being so quiet and doesnt appear to be in a hurry. If WH still has time over his head plus these...

In your original post you said: "Maybe the prosecution is hoping JM will take a plea deal to not get the DP? Saying that they found new evidence in Feb could just be a way of making him think their case is open and shut". To me, that implies that prosecution is being less than honest in order...

I couldnt find the actual study without a ton of digging. As I said, it was done a number of years ago and Im not a young man. The following links all discuss this subject in one form or another. http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/exchange/node/1778...

This passage in particular stood out to me in regards to Jane Lillian Vances impression of the proceedings. Court proceedings take time and I correct myself when I become impatient. The fact is that Help Save the Next Girl, law enforcement, and media have finally collaboratively drummed and...

Given that the Harringtons and the Grahams were present in the court room today, I doubt LE would employ that tactic. Not without their full knowledge and cooperation.

What would I do? Let me preface this by saying that I believe that not all bullying is bad. Some "bullying" serves a legitimate function. Gross I know, but say a kid is picking and eating his own boogers at the lunch table.The kid gets taunted and teased about it often enough that he...

Im actually surprised to see so many votes for medical castration here. A famous study was done in New York some time ago where convicted pedophiles were chemically castrated and then released from prison. The result? It made them more violent and FAR more likely to kill. Scientists...

It can be a pretty substantial amount of money even without student loans. I can also definitely sympathize about eating like a king after getting my check. Add student loans into the mix and we could be talking about anywhere from 800 to 5500 dollars a semester depending on how the school...

Its possible. I am a full time college student in Virginia and we are given three options for receiving our money. One is an old fashioned check.This is usually broken up into two payments or a total of two separate checks. Would need AJ's signature to be cashed and would also require access...

I agree. JLM has always appeared befuddled in court however; I think its an unconscious defense used by him to elicit sympathy from others. Or in other words no one suspects the slow, gentle giant as he's been characterized by friends, until its too late

That would seem to rule out accidental death from a handgun.You would assume gun safety would be covered before even venturing out to a shooting range. On the flip side of that, my brother shot himself in the calf when cleaning a .22 even though we grew up around hunting. Im not saying that...
