Witness to Another Execution
In Texas, death walks an assembly line

"...Over the course of the next few weeks, while waiting my turn to witness an execution, I discovered that most of the people in town preferred to know as little as possible about Huntsville’s main industry. “This is a marvelous place to raise a family,” said Jane Monday, a former mayor and historian. “It’s a university town, a town that cares a great deal about its young; it’s warm, it’s cozy, it’s a very caring community. I wouldn’t take a million dollars to live anywhere else.” When I asked about the effect all of Huntsville’s prisons and executions had on its young, Monday shook her head firmly. “It might sound funny to you, but I don’t think it affects the children or the community at all.”.."

Murder she wrought

"Female thrill-killers are rare in crime fiction. Why is it hard to imagine a woman who murders for pleasure not revenge?...

In a particularly grotesque case in Canada in the 1990s, Karla Homolka, a veterinary assistant who was an accomplice in the sexual torture and deaths of three women, including her own sister, successfully presented herself as a victim of her husband and partner in crime, Paul Bernado. Homolka became a poster girl for those confounded by the notion that a woman could ever actively participate in the rape and killing of other women. Commentators wrote impassioned defences, calling for her to be exonerated. Then evidence emerged that it was Homolka, not Bernado, who had acquired and administered the fatal overdose of drugs to her younger sister Tammy who had become a rival for Bernado’s attentions...

But what if a woman kills purely for pleasure? A real‑life female thrill-killer?..

Joanna Dennehy, the British serial killer who in 2013 stabbed three men to death and seriously injured two more, claimed that she ‘killed to see how it felt, to see if I was as cold as I thought I was, and then it got moreish’. ***** or femme fatale simply doesn’t cover it. Dennehy was not motivated by abuse or self-defence or any overtly-sexualised impulse. At the time of the murders, she was not psychotic or mentally ill. Unlike the vast majority of female killers, Dennehy has been diagnosed psychopathic. Her crimes run so counter to the stereotype of the violent female that the only label we can find for her is one more usually applied to men...."

Former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson dies at 73

Fred Thompson, a former U.S. senator for Tennessee, GOP presidential candidate, Watergate attorney and longtime "Law and Order" star, died on Sunday. He was 73.
Mr. Thompson died after a recurrence of lymphoma, according to a prepared statement issued by the Thompson family.

"It is with a heavy heart and a deep sense of grief that we share the passing of our brother, husband, father, and grandfather who died peacefully in Nashville surrounded by his family," the statement reads..."

I watched the movie I Want to Live yesterday about Barbara Graham:

Proof of Guilt: The Tragic Life and Public Death of Barbara Graham

"She was a brunette bombshell, a diabolical dame, a femme fatale with a sordid past and unsavory ties to Los Angeles' criminal underworld. They called her "Bloody Babs."..

Charged along with two male friends in the murder of an elderly widow during a botched robbery attempt, Graham became the third woman to be executed by the state of California on June 3, 1955. Years later, her case - chronicled in a popular Hollywood movie - became a rallying cry for anti-death penalty activists...

Since nothing directly linked Graham to Monahan's murder, "police and prosecutors decided to trick her into admitting involvement," Cairns writes. Posing as a fixer who could provide her with a fake alibi, an undercover officer met with Graham and secretly recorded their conversations, including a forced confession.

"Frankly, by today's standards, with a decent attorney, Barbara Graham would have not been convicted," said Bakken, editor of the 2010 book "Invitation to an Execution: A History of the Death Penalty in the United States." But back in September 1953, jurors found enough evidence to convict Graham and her friends of first-degree murder, an automatic death sentence..."

MY DISC IS FULL

AFTER READING THIS, I FEEL BETTER!!!!! YOU WILL TOO, I'M SURE!

Brains of older people are slow because they know so much.

People do not decline mentally with age, it just takes them longer to recall facts because
they have more information in their brains, scientists believe . Much like
a computer struggles as the hard drive gets full, so, too, do humans take
longer to access information when their brains are full.

Researchers say this slowing down process is not the same as cognitive decline . The human
brain works slower in old age, but only because we have stored more
information over time. The brains of older people do not get weak. On the
contrary, they simply know more. Also, older people often go to another
room to get something and when they get there, they stand there wondering
what they came for. It is NOT a memory problem, it is nature's way of
making older people do more exercise. SO THERE .

Now when I reach for a word or a name , I won't excuse myself by saying "I'm
having a senior moment".

Now, I'll say, "My disk is full!"

I have more friends I should send this to, but right now I can't remember
their names. So, please forward this to your friends; they may be my
friends, too

Now look how long it took to execute her - only 2 years... WHY does it take so LONG now??!!! :tantrum: I know, they get a 5 to 10 years of appeals... I did hear on the news a couple of days ago that a group is getting together to "speed" up the executions here in California! :clap: finally...

Hi Chelly :wave:
The trials I'm waiting for all start next year... so, no, I don't have any ideas what to watch - if you find one - please let me know!

Okay... I tried to "Go Advanced" but unfortunately that didn't work, so I'll "trick" the website and post quick, and than edit - and hopefully can add a picture from my "sharing" folder!

Oh - it's RAINING!!!! :happydance:

Good Afternoon my SB friends! Hope you all are having a lovely day. My wonderful construction crew is here putting up the fascia and soffits and the gutter that has been laying for months in the back yard. Yay! What a difference from that fiasco some months back. They put up scaffolding and secured their ladders unlike that young man who ripped me off, who had his banker buddy as his helper, with loafers on.

Thank you YoNo for the funnies! I have really missed them and they were really good. The pic of the mare and foal artwork was phenomenal. I love that you all appreciate these gorgeous animals too and have taken the time to post so many wonderful horse related things.

I watched the Breeders Cup on Saturday and it was so cool to see American Pharoah race for the last time. When Victor Espinosa sank low in the saddle at the end, and AP let it rip, I just clapped and cheered. That horse still had more in the tank, got low and just got faster. Thrilling to watch to say the least. AP truly is a champion, one of the greats and deserving of all the accolades being sent his way.

I went out this morning for the first time during daylight hours in several weeks and noticed the leaves had peaked. A lot of the trees are laying their leaves. Have you all reached peak leaf color where you live? I just wondered how far ahead or behind we are here in Delaware than our more southern friends.

 

[Zuri]

Niner, how is your DH feeling? Is he well enough to get out and about or still not feeling well? I think of you both every single day and send you Jingles.

Hi Zuri! :wave:

Well, he is a "bit" better - getting around with his walker. He is still sleeping on the couch :happydance: (I get the blankets to myself! ) as his back and hip from falling last week still hurt, but not so much today. At least he didn't break any bones, but did put a dent in the wall... :scared:

I don't believe that picture I posted is a painting, I believe it's a photograph.

Thank you for the JINGLES! - sending you some too - JINGLES!!!!

 

[Spellbound]

Niner, thanks for the input on Patricia Cornwell's latest book. I will be watching for it to go on sale. I just discovered I missed one of her other books (Dust), so I am on the hunt for that one, too.

:hilarious: The sun visor doesn't work for me, either!



Zuri, it is so wonderful to "hear" you sounding so much better finally!
