I finished the book a week or two ago but it wasn’t easy. Here are a few of my thoughts. (Apologies for my wordiness.) Firstly, and most importantly, Dennis Rader has got to be the luckiest serial killer of all time. He left a knife at one scene and a gun at another. Both times he returned to...

It’s not a shortage/supply issue. It’s that the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the drugs don’t want the negative PR that comes along with selling those drugs to the government for the purposes of execution. I only know this because South Carolina passed a law in 2023 that now allows...

I recently had to report for jury duty. And y’all, the screening process for seating the jury was the most mind-numbingly boring thing I’ve had to sit through in a very long time. (I was ecstatic when my name wasn’t on the list of 30 people — chosen by a computer at random — to stay for more in...

Color me confused.

Agreed. He seemed genuinely bewildered about the whole thing.

The killer could have fled from anywhere really. The park isn’t walled off. There’s a short fence (maybe a tad bit taller than a standard bus bench) and some shrubbery in some areas, but those can be jumped easily. Other areas don’t even have that. And there are dozens of walking paths that...

23 pages?! Man, that seems a bit excessive. OTOH, please let KR do whatever she feels necessary because I don’t want to see her trying to appeal a conviction later because she didn’t get to ask as many questions as she wanted.

I’m open to both random or targeted, but I definitely lean more towards an extremely mentally disturbed transient or a transient who became enraged while high on meth or PCP. I think it would take a lot of speed and/or strength to quickly overcome both Katie and her dog without a loud struggle...

🙄 I would hardly call that threatening. They are telling him/her what will happen if they stop cooperating. They aren’t wrong.

I’m almost finished. I think I’m at like 80% on my Kindle. From what I can tell, he didn’t choose his victims based on any specific physical characteristic. He usually chose locations that were easy to watch without being seen and was often associated with the number 3 somehow. He seems to have...

I think it’s been reported that a grand jury was convened in November. (If I had to guess, a witness relayed this information to a news outlet or confirmed that he/she was subpoenaed.) But we don’t know how many people have been summoned to testify or how long the proceedings will ultimately...

It made me really mad to see the level of damage he inflicted. Especially to poor Xana. He literally cut through bone in her hand as she tried to defend herself. Horrific.

It’s only that he was arrested for failure to appear that this became public. Grand jury proceedings are held in private with only the prosecuting attorneys, jurors, and witnesses present. Defense attorneys and judges are completely absent. Essentially, the prosecutor presents all of the...

https://www.wptv.com/news/region-n-palm-beach-county/palm-beach-gardens/jury-to-continue-deliberations-on-day-6-of-semmie-williams-jr-trial WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — On day six of the Semmie Williams Jr. trial, the jury found him guilty of second-degree murder in the death of 14-year-old Ryan...

Wow! Says she was a volunteer firefighter and sold log homes in 1999.
