    Angry Life in Prison...

    Maybe people in the MD/VA/DC area remeber this case, actually I also made a post here about it a while ago... It was a pretty publicized case since the main newsworty point was that she was an "Exotic Dancer..." So stupid... Like thats all her life amounted to...

    But this is a girl that I used to work who was actually a nice girl whose boyfriend killed her back in March. Anyway, the guy was just sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 25 years...

    It really pisses me off that the judge in this case rejected both the jury and the prosecutions recommendation for life in prison no parole. He didn't just kill her, he brutally killed her, cut off her fingers and threw her body in the woods. He stole 30,000 from her and went out on a shopping spree for the next few days before he was arrested.

    What is the matter with the justice system???? Oh yeah, I almost forgot... The guys attorney is on TV claiming how they are confident that the case will be overturned on an appeal!!! Even if that never happens, I truly feel sorry for her family having to listen to that!!! Sorry I just needed to vent!!!!

    Eh, she was just a stripper. They're all asking for that kind of thing the minute they start dancing around strange men with no clothes on. When your morals are that loose, who really cares if you get what's coming to you?

    Now, if she had been an actual woman, they'd have strung him up already.

    I hate this society.

    I had a friend I used to work with whose boyfriend brutally murdered her too. Unfortunately in her case, there was no "justice" since he killed himself as well. What's wrong with these fuckers?

    Anyhow, I hope your friend's "b/f" doesn't win any appeal or anything sick like that.

    My sense of political correctness goes out the fucking window in cases like these.

    This is when medieval justice starts to have some appeal, or the Code of Hammurabi.

    Cut the guy's fingers off, slowly, and then kill him the same way he killed her.

    But of course, she was just a stripper...

    This won't make you feel any better, but this is common. I read a lot of criminology lit and because of the way our justice system is structured, a sentence can be mitigated due to things as trivial as case technicalities and random information pertaining to the victim's past. I'm assuming the jury considered the victim's involvement with drug sales as a mitigating factor in their sentencing.

    Actually both the prosecution and the jury recommended Life in Prison without the possibility of parole... It was the judge who rejected their recommendation and added possibility of parole after 25 years... Bastard!!!

    A girl here was murdered by her husband after she found out he was lying about going to med school. He shot her, threw her in the landfill, and it took almost 3 months to find her. He got 5-25 years in prison. He will be out on parole and or just out, while he's still young. The justice system is ridiculous sometimes.

    i remember hearing of this case when i lived in d.c. how could they possibly give a man like that parole?? so he can murder someone else when he gets out??
    This reminds me of a case I just saw on A&E TV where a man raped and AMPUTATED the arms of a 15 years old and only got 14 years in prison! He was released in 7 years! and then he killed again.

    Singleton's sordid trail
    -- Sept. 29, 1978 -- Lawrence Singleton kidnaps hitchhiker Mary Vincent, 15,

    from Berkeley, drives her to rural Stanislaus County, then rapes her and chops off her forearms with a hatchet.

    -- Oct. 9, 1978 -- Singleton is arrested in Sparks, Nev.

    -- March 29, 1979 -- Singleton is convicted by a San Diego jury of multiple counts and is sentenced to more than 14 years in prison.

    -- April 25, 1987 -- Singleton is paroled from California state prison in San Luis Obispo after serving just over half of his sentence. A furor erupts in Contra Costa County after many towns refuse to allow Singleton to settle there. State officials eventually settle him in a trailer on the grounds of San Quentin State Prison.

    -- April 1988 -- Singleton, released from parole, leaves San Quentin, and begins to roam around the East Bay, living part of the time in Richmond.

    -- Sept. 14, 1990 -- Singleton, now living in Tampa, Fla., is released from jail after serving 48 days for petty theft.

    -- Feb. 19, 1997 -- Roxanne Hayes, a 31-year-old prostitute and mother of three, is stabbed to death in Singleton's Tampa, Fla., home, nine days after Singleton is released from a psychiatric hospital after attempting suicide. A sheriff's deputy, knocking on Singleton's door, finds him in blood-spattered shirt, Hayes' bloody corpse lying on the floor nearby.

    -- April 14, 1998 -- Singleton is sentenced to die after a Tampa jury convicts him of first-degree murder in Hayes' death.

    -- Dec. 28, 2001 -- Singleton, 74, dies of cancer in a Florida prison hospital.

    the justice system can be pretty fucked up sometimes. this may sound horrible but I hope he never gets parole...or that something "happens" to him before he's eligible for parole.

    ^ Yeah, I was thinking about Mary Vincent when I wrote my above post. I caught part of the A&E show about Singleton & had to change the channel.
    My apologies on missing that the judge went against jury & prosecution reccommendation- usually it's the opposite, the judge metes out the maximum allowable.

    All you have to say is "California" and everyone knows the justice system is fucked up there.

    To many hippies.

    kinda OTC but .......about criminals....today i was reading that in my country the rapists are not guilty of rape if the victim was wearing jeans
    or also they get a lighter sentence if the adolescent victim was a non vergin.

    i was speechless and ashamed of being born there.

    What country is that? I seem to remember hearing the jeans thing before, but can't remember where. It seems so backwards; removing jeans from the unwilling is much more difficult than lifting a skirt. That other thing, about the victims' lack of virginity being a mitigating factor, is also true in much of the U.S.
