Maybe not to you. But I believe if you strangle your Father to death That’s a very sociopathic act and using a misreading of a receipt for $450k in gold to prevent the conviction of a child strangulating his father to death is BS. Maybe if something like this happens to someone you care about you’ll be less “intellectual” and more compassionate in your posting.
Way OT: Has anyone ever known a murder victim?

I hope no one takes this the wrong way......but this is the most fascinating thread I have ever read on this board.
Yeah. Or maybe if this happens to someone close to me I will recognize that I may not be the best person to judge the criminal case. Or maybe cops lying is harmful to our legal system, too.
I understand your feelings but it is also unbelievable that so many of the board have known someone who lost their life by violent acts of another person.
It certainly speaks to the varied backgrounds we grew up / or have lived in.
None of the people in my life have ever been murder victims. I guess I have been lucky. However, on a sad note, I know of 3 people who have committed suicide. Can there be anything more confounding then suicide?
When my wife and I moved back to Wyoming Valley from Harrisburg in the 70's, we settled on my father in law's property in Lehman Twp. My oldest, Tommy, was enrolled in the Back Mountain "T Ball" level of Little League. After a few practices, Mike Kerkowski, the coach asked me to help with the kids. I agreed and we became good friends for yrs to come. I had his older son, Michael, on our youth FB team and younger Scott on several All Star teener teams. Michael became a pharmacist and brother Scott a HS teacher & coach.
In the summer of 2002, Mike, jr was missing and became the target of a nation wide man hunt. My wife got a call from Mike, jrs mother, Gerry, on Saturday morning about four or five weeks after Jr. was missing. She was crying and told my wife that Michael would have tried to contract her and Mike, sr at least to let them know he was ok. Gerry told my wife that something terrible must have happened to Jr.......It did, Jr. was distributing oxy from his pharmacy, illegally.
About a year later, Hugo Selenski and Paul Weakley became suspects in the missing persons case.
We were at one of our grandsons baseball games in Dallas Just beyond the left- enter fence was the back yard of the Selenski famly where law enforcement had a backhoe digging up the yard. The police had information that Selenski also had bodies buried along thr Rails for Trails which parallel the Harvey's Lake highway. When traveling the Lake highway, one would cat h glimpses of hoes digging along various locations of the trail.
Selenski's partner in crime testified that he believes Hugo murdered 19 persons that he knows of. Selenski was targeting out of town drug dealers and making arrangements to buy. When the dealers came to Wilkes Barre, Hugo would have them seized, robbed and murdered and the bodies buried.
From an optimistic perspective, He was cleaning up the area.
To understand the entire picture of Hugo and his deeds, you have to google....... Hugo Selenski, Paul Weakley, Cindy Song, Penn State,

A friend of mine from work died in Pan Am 103. My contracts required flights at that time only over certain air lines......
Emmert and/or Freeh would certainly be high on the list of the “right circumstances”.
I was right below you in 409, but that would have been the spring of 1968. Small world.
A cousin of mine was murdered many years ago working at a video store. The guys held up the store and inexplicably murdered the two young people who were working that night. Her parents cannot talk about it to this day, understandably so.
About 10 years ago a guy in my hometown murdered his wife and then killed himself. I didn’t know the guy but it happened right down the street from my parents house. My mom didn’t know them personally but would say hi and the like when she saw them around. Life is crazy, hug your family everyday.

Can't say I have. Dr. Richard Illes murdered his wife in a childhood friend's old house (actually from the woods behind the house). It became one of those cases you saw on all the real crime shows.

Not a murder victim, but my best friend dated a girl who later drugged and burned her husband and became the subject of a Lifetime/Oxygen TV movie.
