Judges and the DA are pretty well insulated from liability in matters of this nature. The Judge would have need to personally known that the story was false. The DA went to a judge and got a warrant. Unless she knew that the affidavit was false she is covered. And how would you ever find...

I have no way of knowing but I would imagine that Jamie Harmon must have contacted Karr. How would he have gotten her number to call her. Unless he was carring her phone number around which is not very likely the only numbers he would have had access to are from the phone book. This sure...

Sex is a very marketable commodity! The stranger the sex the further it would get one. In his case he should have made it around the world several times.

Jamie Harmon could never afford the kind of publicity she is getting out of this. She saw a chance to get her name out there and she jumped at it. Given what appears to be her legal skills the liklyhood that JMK will be convicted just increased a thousand fold if he did it and two thousand...

The major problem with "sex offender" laws and in particular sex offender registration is that a wide variety of behavior is painted with the same brush. I am unaware of any state that has a very comprehensive apporach to this problem. It is hard to get support for a law that may treat...

These pictures look more like a noose with a stick tied to one end. What I have always thought to be a garrote was a devise with a handle at both ends of a ligature. People that make those and use them learned that method some place where their training would suggest that they may at some time...

I seem to recall seeing pictures of the garrote with each of the halves of the broken paint brush tied to the ends of what appeared to be a shoe string. If it was a true garrote there would not be noose or double looping because that would take away from the effectiveness of a garrote. When...

Superdave, you are correct that most police department have banned these type of restraints. You are also correct that "It's easier to kill someone by strangulation than we think". And still LE folks have a fair number of deaths as a result of restraints that cause asphyxiation. And every...

Prior to this case what percentage of the population even knew what a garrote was or how to make one. If it was staging to lead suspicion away from the family, why use something directly connected to Patsy. A great deal of the other evidence does suggest at least someone very close to the...

He will be subject to lots of civil action but he is broke and he just blew up his only asset. He may be subject to several minor crimes but nothing really serious unless one of those other people die. Therefore I hope they all live and he goes down as a really stupid pitiful man.

A garrote is normally used from the rear for a number of reasons. Surprise being one and secondly it is more effective from that position. In about one minute the person will begin to lose consciousness but the thrashing around will go on for sometime. Two minutes is a ball park frequently...

When her father found her in the basement he picked up the body and brought it up to whaat appeared to be a living room. As I recall the body was not face down and that would be an unnatural way to carry someone or the place them on the floor. There seems to be a number of people that would...

Some of the talking heads on the cable news seem to think that the "good doctor" can't or at least should not be charged with a crime. Something like it was still his building so he could demolish it if he wanted to. Try telling that to the people walking by that were injuried. It appears...

I believe that you are referring to the following: Dr. Henry Lee's Forensic Files: Five Famous Cases Scott Peterson, Elizabeth Smart, and more you can find it at amazon.com and other online sources :crazy:
