Good to see you Packy and Molly :69 Rumpole :rose as always


I'm with you on Rudy Yates Molly and still he found some goof to marry him after Andrea was put away, a reporter asked Rudy what they say when his dead children come up in a conversation and Rudy said something along the line, "They really don't it is not something I like to think about." I thought the reporter showed great restraint in not throttling him within inches of his life, cameras rolling or not.

And you are welcome Packy I thought it was fascinating :98

Do you think the movie affected the outcome of Routh's trial? Juror Hutchinson said that he had seen it and was able to put it aside. I think some people can remain objective against all odds but it has to be very hard to do. I think of the Scott Peterson case in the US (he was convicted of killing his wife and unborn child) with all the publicity and the movie it seemed that it was almost impossible to be anything but a factor in his conviction.

I think it is human nature that everything affects everything so the short answer is yes. The other short answer is I think Routh's goose would have been cooked even without the movie. So I don't think the movie changed the verdict. Routh was guilty, Routh was not insane by Texas standards and I think the jury got it right.

Well I said it before but he did seem to know what he was doing when he talked to his relatives after the murders. So I do believe he was sane at the time. But I like to think about the degree of publicity about a case and how it may affects us.

The publics opinion which is formed by the media is always interesting in my opinion. And I do think it carries over into the jurors box, I don't know what the solution is, I like a three panel judge jury but then you have the problem of corruption and ideologues polluting the system also.

Maybe we could just ask everyone to behave nicely :66

Eddie Ray Routh Transferred to Correctional Psychiatric Facility

NBCDFW.COM
By Frank Heinz | March 10, 2015


Eddie Ray Routh, the former Marine convicted of killing former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield, has been transferred to a correctional psychiatric facility near Houston.

Routh, who gunned down the "American Sniper" author and his friend in 2013 at a gun range, was transferred to the Jester IV unit in Richmond, according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Earlier this month Routh, 27, had been sent to the Middleton Unit near Abilene to undergo an evaluation and psychological screening that would determine where he would begin serving out his sentence.

Correctional Psychiatric Facility. Sounds like a little bit of hell on earth, Routh may find himself sane pretty quickly and begging to join the regular prisoner population. I had a friend who worked with the violently insane, to say it was horrific is an understatement, that is not the type of facility which Routh is in but I am positive it is an extremely unpleasant place.
