"I don't think so. He was suing for $36 million for those 18 years in prison."

That would buy him a lot of candy bars during his upcoming 99 year stay in prison

I hope the Halbach family sues him for every last damn dime if convicted.

GREAT thinking!

He probably felt he 'did the time, so I might as well do the crime."

Sept. 2, 1982: Pours gas and oil on a cat and throws it into a bonfire, watching the animal burn and die. Charged with cruelty to animals.

Whoa, what a degenerate! I was willing to entertain the idea that perhaps he was being set up, but this tidbit added to everything else makes it look as though he is most likely a psycho sadist. I feel terrible for the poor woman who was killed and her family.

Can you ping me to this story also?

Thanks.

[MEG33]

A waitress said yesterday. It about time that Wisconsin should consider having the Death Penalty.

I can't post this on FR because of copyright infringement, but I saw this article in the newspaper as soon as I got up this morning.

There is absolutely no question of Avery's guilt now. I am fully convinced.

Wisconsin Circuit Court Access is a good way to find out past offenses of people.

There isn't much, but this is all official stuff.

[NormsRevenge]

No problem, I will keep you and a couple other locals in mind as this goes thru the legal process. Please let me know as well of other nuggets as it plays out.

[NormsRevenge]

No promises but I'll try and make a mental note.

May need to start an Innocents Project "Successes" Ping List at this rate. ;-)

[sporkgoddess]

You mean that Avery isn't the first?

[codercpc]

Thanks, I live in Mid Wisconsin, and am very interested in this case.

On a side note, her brother Michael works for the Packers org. as a videographer.

I wonder if we should now suspect that there's a flaw in the DNA testing system?

Please, don't go there. Can you imagine how many new court cases would be ressurected?
