I was just thinking that if Travis McGee got called in to investigate Mallory Beach's death, John D. MacDonald would have walked away and said "Nope, too unbelievable".
I've got a question for the legal types of the Wonketariet. I've noticed several media outlets, including this recipe sharing blog, say that Alex is getting life without parole. I actually watched the sentencing today before going to work. I noticed that the trial judge, while delivering the actual sentence, said he would get 2 consecutive life sentences, without mentioning the words, life without parole. The question is this: By the judge omitting the saying, "life without parole," does this give the State of South Carolina, if Alex happens to survive prison for the next 20 to 30 years, a legal loophole to parole him for "medical reasons" so the state doesn't have to continue to pay for his medical care and to give a final professional courtesy/ultimate White privilege act to Alex??? -I'll going to repeat this in tonight's open thread. I had a long day today, and I'm just getting around to non commenting.
J. Edgar Hoover said that if he were to inculcate any value in youth it would be to tell the truth as a habit. He had found that every criminal that he encountered had one thing in common: they were all liars.
It is impossible to commit crimes from theft to rape to drug involvement without lying. Add to this crooks typically lie about their crimes when they face investigators, and that the FBI technique is to find the liar in a criminal case.
He was prominent, and the story is sordid. The more typical murder involves family arguments, bar-room brawls, armed robberies , or drug dealing, none of which ordinarily has a worthy back-story.
I'm obviously wasting my time reading newspapers, watching Marvel TV shows, or playing Xbox when I should be watching trials like this one. I need to set my priorities straight.
I think South Carolina does not allow parole for a life sentence, so that "without parole" goes without saying there (I reserve the right to be wrong). "Consecutive" does not mean that after he dies, South Carolina must hire some Tibetan monks to find his reincarnation so he can be imprisoned again, but that if for some reason his sentence is commuted by the governor or reversed on appeal as to one of the counts but not the other, he is still stuck.

Yacht? As compared to a life vest, I think that boat could be compared to a yacht.
I watched this trial. I was prepared for a hung jury. I was shocked at a verdict in under 3 hours.
FYI, I’m an ex prosecutor with a metric fuck ton of trials under my belt.
This is the boat. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
Ole Travis would've first found some local young lovelies to sleep with & then bailed out of town. And not gotten half of the returned money.
Searching for the real killer, on golf courses all over America.

I also thought it would be a hung jury. I was shocked.
That's more like the boat you keep on the stern of your yacht to go to and from shore in.

Yes -- income from embezzlement and other illegal sources is fully taxable.

.Good god these people are awful.

That's not a yacht. It's a speedboat. This is a yacht.https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
Fuck you.
Their child is dead and you are mocking his name.
GTFO. He was beautiful.
