DUI murderer from Marin is killed in prison

SAN QUENTIN STATE PRISON -- A man newly arrived at San Quentin State Prison after being convicted of murder and drunken driving in the death of a 9-year-old Novato girl was fatally stabbed by another inmate, authorities said Tuesday.

Edward John Schaefer, 44, of Novato was stabbed in the chest and neck at about 10:35 a.m. Monday in the prison's reception center yard and died that night, said Lt. Sam Robinson, prison spokesman.

The suspect is Frank Anthony Souza, 31, a convicted murderer from San Jose, Robinson said. Souza had fashioned a homemade weapon, authorities said.

Schaefer was killed just 10 days after he arrived at San Quentin. The prison's reception center is where many convicted offenders are processed before they are transferred to other prisons.

The father and daughter were in a crosswalk on San Marin Drive at San Carlos Way in Novato when Schaefer sped his motorcycle in between a car that had stopped for the two and a parked vehicle.

Authorities said his blood-alcohol level was between 0.11 and 0.16 percent, more than the 0.08 percent that constitutes drunken driving. Schaefer struck Melody and her father at more than 60 mph, said prosecutor Geoff Iida.

Aaron Osheroff lost his right leg as a result of the crash. He now walks with a temporary prosthetic leg, his wife and Melody's mother, Kimberly Osheroff, said Tuesday. She said of Schaefer's slaying, "I'm not one of those people who rejoice in such things. I don't think people being slain by another person is justified.

Yep, it took 10 DUI’s for him to finally kill someone. Glad he’s dead.

Hard to believe a feller with a cherubic face like that would kill anyone. Look at that smile. Is that the face of a homicidal maniac?


Oh, it is? Never mind.

Yeah.

New Prisoner Orientation is designed to provide Cons with the resources needed to be successful at San Quentin. Participants will be presented with information about prison services and the boundless opportunities available for convicts.

Furthermore, all participants will be apprised of the many rights and responsibilities associated with confinement at San Quentin.

Raoul Martinez~ It was great, considering I'm from El Salvador, they made me feel right at home.

Shaquan Jackson- Everyone is so helpful. I can't wait for visitor's day.

Sean McCoy- There are clubs to join. I found people that share the same interests. My 15-20 will fly by now.

Cool picture. Could have been used the other day when there was a thread going on how we have too many laws and too many people in prison.

This thread: Too many laws, too many prisoners

It just happened that the murdered inmate was a drunken, child-killing POS but did Souza know this? Or could Schaefer have just as easily been the imprisoned 65-year old orchid smuggler mentioned in the thread above?

Look at that smile.

Rather disturbing, isn't it ?

He might be a trouble maker. They better keep an eye on him.

I’m speculating that Souza killed the guy to make a name for himself.

The giant "White Power" tattoo on his forehead just wasn't getting it done.

Threads like this on FR are disturbing.

I thought Freepers are conservatives that want the rule of law upheld?

Espousing the murder/rape/abuse of a US citizen while he/she is in prison serving a sentence isn’t a conservative value. Especially since our Constitution’s Bill of Rights (8th Amendment) ensures that there will be no cruel or unusual punishment for prisoners.

Anybody tough enough to walk around San Quentin with "White Power" tattooed on his forehead is too tough for me to mess with.

The other thing that's chilling is that in that mug shot he looks happier than if he was having a day at Disney World. That's a scary guy.

Well, on that thread I commented on slanted journalism.

But to your point here, Both Shaefer and Souza belonged in prison. For all I know the orchid smuggler does to.

Reddy : Threads like this on FR are disturbing. I thought Freepers are conservatives that want the rule of law upheld? ...isn’t a conservative value.

The most basic conservative value is owning your own opinion. You have an opinion, say it and own it yourself, instead of focusing it in the third person metaphorically towards an implied collective.

Screw your collective obedience.

csvset: Hey can you have the whole thread pulled? I asked that it be pulled.

I don't like what you want, therefore I ask that you be silenced. I do not want to have to disagree with you, or have to expose my own opinion. Rather I would like the administrative, governmental, collective, police, military powers that I am obedient to, to erase you, liquidate you, vanish you, make you disappear, like the hundred million buried skulls of the dead who were made to disappear in the last century, in the name of peace, love, and social justice.

Dude.

That’s rude! I didn’t know Freepers were rude.

The most basic conservative value is not owning your own opinion. It is respect for life. Go ahead and promote rape/abuse/torture of American prisoners. I will call you on it every time.

This is a public board and just because you have an opinion about how someone else should be illegally mistreated doesn’t mean you should post it.

Actually I posted the thread. Some thread cop came along and cried about the comments, none of which called for the rape of anyone, so that is pure BS. I’d rather the thread be pulled than left there chopped up.
