    NY - Christopher Porco - Another Menandez situation? - sentenced

    Yes, Joan Porco was in the courtroom and the camera was kind to her and shot her from the right side of her face. It was the left side that Christopher attacked and in the view that I saw, there were subtle signs of the disfigurement. I think she must have an excellent plastic surgeon who put...

    NY - Christopher Porco - Another Menandez situation? - sentenced

    To all who asked why Chris Porco was not charged/convicted of 1st degree murder.....In NY state, 1st degree murder is reserved for copkillers so the 2nd degree murder charge is the highest you can get in NY unless you off a cop. Secondly, I just heard an interview with Jim Campbell, the...

    NY - Christopher Porco - Another Menandez situation? - sentenced

    I have a lot of respect for many criminal defense attorneys as it is a tough job.(having been one myself for a relatively short time some years ago......I switched to civil proceedings after that!!) Unfortunately, there are some defense attorneys who are misguided and think it is their mission...

    NY - Christopher Porco - Another Menandez situation? - sentenced

    Well the closing arguments are completed and the jury will be charged tomorrow. Personally I am relieved that this is almost over so I can get back to my normal life instead of being so utterly obsessed with this most heinous, yet incredibly interesting crime. I think Mike McDermott hit the...

    Well, the national news has finally picked this case up. Here's the link to ABC News that carried the story a few days ago. http://abcnews.go.com/US/LegalCenter/story?id=2179489&page=1 Unfortunately, their fact checker must have been asleep at the switch as they have Detective Bowdish as one...

    NY - Christopher Porco - Another Menandez situation? - sentenced

    If I were Kindlon, I would not let him take the stand....the problem is that Porco may insist on taking the stand and then Kindlon MUST put him on. Sometimes sociopaths really believe they can convince a jury that they are innocent and really get in to telling their stories. Nearly EVERY time...

    SheerLuck: The vet building you are referring to is Delmar Animal Hospital, but Chris did not work there. He works at the Bethlehem Animal Hospital on 9W in Glenmont. This, of course, is a tad farther away, but perhaps do-able in the time frame he had. I am not sure that the Bethlehem Animal...

    Bummer about the print.....I simply can't get excited about Chris's print being found in the house unless it is a bloody one. By the way, I liked your comment about petting the dog without the gloves on! I can absolutely see that happening! I am anxious to see what developed in...

    NY - Christopher Porco - Another Menandez situation? - sentenced

    You know, I was wondering the same thing. Kindlon claims that it shows that Peter Porco was thinking about his son even as he was dying, in an effort to show that the two of them were close. About the fingerprint: Does anyone know if it was a bloody print that was found in the basement...

    NY - Christopher Porco - Another Menandez situation? - sentenced

    I tend to agree with Garnan. If I were going to do this crime, that's how I would do it actually because then there would be no clothing to be found later. There was also testimony that he swung the axe rather shallowly (as oppossed to big swinging strokes) and as such there was not as much...

    NY - Christopher Porco - Another Menandez situation? - sentenced

    Where oh where did he stash the bloody clothing????? Wouldn't it be great if it was found? Probably way too late now though. I agree that trying to read the mind of a killer is next to impossible, but you have to admit that even the coolest of characters had to be dumbfounded when...

    NY - Christopher Porco - Another Menandez situation? - sentenced

    Sheerluck: Yes, I agree that based on the screw ups by the Bethlehem Police by not reading Porco his Miranda rights and not letting him talk to a lawyer, the judge had no choice but to throw out the interrogation. From what I have heard about the interrogation, it contained some inconsistencies...

    NY - Christopher Porco - Another Menandez situation? - sentenced

    I've been following this case closely since it occurred. I reside not too far from where it happened so it has held my interest. I was disappointed that the trial was moved to Orange County as I had planned to attend as often as I could; now it is too far away so have to depend on the media...
