Do you know someone serving life in prison?
Why did they get that sentence?
I only know two.
One a co-employee back in the 70's ... sentenced for rape of a 2 year old.
The other owned a local business some 15 years ago .. sentenced for underage sexual content & selling kiddie phorn.
:twisted:

The government has no rights. Only the people have rights which empowers the government.
We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:

Found guilty of Murder about 6 mo. ago.
He must have been quite an entrepreneur as the FBI was at the time of his arrest comparing him to Mexican drug cartels.
His family was extremely wealthy- having sold a private business built by his grandfather for the tune of 50 million dollars.
He was sentenced to 20 years and served about 12 or so in Federal prison. I remember he went to the super-max in Colorado where the Unibomber is kept.
He has been out a handful of years and I think he is now a bartender or something like that.
My best friends son did 8 years for bank robbery at supermax out side of Florence, Co. He was not housed in Supermax proper but in the same complex. Funny how a kid can be brought up in a loving caring home and still turn bad.
Didn't really know the guy that killed one of my workers 30 years ago. In the trial where I was called on to identify my workers car and stuff that the * had in his possession when arrested he threatened to get even and kill me too. Not to worried as he got something like 99 years with no parole.
Last week a 17 year old neighbor kid was picked up for armed robbery. This in in a village of about 800 people. There is a dollar store, general store and a small branch library. Yup, you guessed it - the * held up the LIBRARY! He made his escape by bicycle and was picked up quickly. Sure hope the theft of over due book fines was worth it. Because of the gun I believe he will be charged as an adult.
Well wait, I think the son of the parole violator is doing life for killing his girlfriend with a 12 gauge in their front yard. I don't really know him, but met both him and his brother when they were tweens or early teens. Both were hellions......
The woman married my well to do widowed brother in law. Shot him in the back of the head while he was making coffee in their kitchen. Turns out she was a black widow whose first husband was also shot in the head. She claimed he committed suicide..the hand gun was found in the right hand of this left handed man.
During her trial , it turned out she had tried to kill him previously by sticking and lighting a rag into the gas spout of his Caddy while he was sitting in it. Her case and trial was a feature on NBC's Dateline.
She is now doing Life with no parole in Colorado.
Every year I send her a calendar....
Don?t remember how much the guy was supposed to do, but died about a year in. He was in his 30?s. Full of cancer.

He was a gun enthusiast and had quite a collection of just about every kind and type of hi-powered rifle you could think of. He would always carry a handgun with him and that was the reason for the incident that put him away.
Back around 1997 or so, he was outside his house mowing lawn with his usual sidearm holstered at his side. According to court records he was legal in doing so but a neighbor called the local police and pitched a complaint. An officer who knew "John" went to his house and got into a bit of an altercation with him trying to take his gun away. John, pushed the officer down and made a bee line into his house.
By then, half the local police force came with lights flashing and sirens howling. The downed officer got up and went to the homes front door. The armed force around the home were poised with weapons aimed on the place. A single shot was heard coming from inside and all hell broke loose! The policeman that was on the porch went down in a barrage of gunfire that turned the massive front door into swiss cheese. When the smoke cleared, John, inside lay wounded and the officer was hurt mortally and later died in hospital.
His trial was a big local deal and the dead officer became a hero who later had city offices named in his honor. John got life with no parole. There has been a lot of talk in private circles that the policeman was actually killed by friendly fire. It would take a true miracle to change the outcome of this incident.
I have written enough for now. I may later share a bit about the 2nd convicted felon I know that is serving life in the pen.
Yup that's her. The Colorado police did a great job. When they picked her up, she was back in Florida cultivating a third affluent gent. At the time she was identifying herself as my dead brother in laws first wife...she had all the dead woman's ID and was driving around in my dead sister in laws car.
Hardcore...and evil.
about 25 years ago =/- my brother got a year for not paying child support ( a story for another day ) any way I would call him once a week
he told me during a call you remember Ron xxxxxx he ask If I was your brother , seems he killed his wife and took her to the police station
JMHO guessing the way the systems work on such cases , I would bet he was out a long time ago
side note every time I talked with my brother during his stay I just had to ask :twisted: :twisted: " you got a BF or 3 yet " just to piss him off .
I would probably send her an appointment book.
They are broken down into hours.
Noe that is just too funny!

not too long after, we were at another party and he was there. I said gimme back my bag of quarters. (like he's going to have it) he said what are you talking about. so I grabbed him by the shirt and hauled him outside so he could tell me that. one of his friends walked up and said you aren't going to hurt my friend. so now the confrontation was between me and him. we stared at each other for a while, by that time the thief had slinked away, so screwit. back to partying. later on I was listening as he was bragging to some others how he hit some dude on the head with a hammer and turned him into a vegetable but got off on a technicality. he thought it was hilarious. I thought it was disgusting, but I wasn't part of that conversation. I stayed in some other corner of the party because the troll nauseated me.
a year or three later, in the news, one of the troll's friends got his car stereo stolen and they thought they knew who did it. so they conned that thief into riding in a car with them, where they took him out in the country and he marched him into the woods with a shotgun. you can guess the rest. life in prison.
now if I would have beat up his friend, you can bet he would have come after me and I wouldn't even see it coming.

One came back from OEF killed his wife, chopped her up and scattered her remains along Plank Road on Ft Bragg. He was in jail and convicted when he hung himself.
Another guy I know is about to be in Jail for the rest of his life. He killed 2 guys in a fight. He says Self Defense but its very sketchy. I would have never thought he would do that but you never know.
I was in 2/75 when the assistant Armorer took a 1911 from the arms room and used it to "execute" two people at a store he robbed this was in the early 80's and he was from Ireland. He got life.
He claimed self defense - the other guys had been loosely mobbed up with the remnants of Nicki scarfos crew in North East Philly and had a great Jewish lawyer of some renown...
He seemed pretty normal to me.
Lot of time 30+ years - was a different world when he got out - he went right back to the same home in the same neighborhood - driving produce trucks and making bio-diesel in an outbuilding....
What happens when you retire after 65 with 30+ years spent in prison and say 18 spent in school...

When Spiro Agnew was the VP, he was coming down for a visit with our Gov. The Secret Service starting checking the background of staff around the mansion and threw a CLASSIC hissy fit.
