Texas Man Convicted of Child Sexual Abuse Drinks ‘Cloudy’ Water in Courtroom, Dies Shortly After
GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | cassandra fairbanks

A Texas man who was convicted of child sexual abuse chugged “cloudy” water as the verdict finding him guilty was read and died shortly after.

Edward Peter Leclair, 57, was found guilty on Thursday of five counts of child sexual abuse, all involving the same victim, who was between the age of 14 and 17.

Leclair had a large bottle that appeared to be water next to him, but did not drink it throughout the hearing.

As the guilty verdict was read, Leclair began to chug from the bottle.

“I looked over and noticed him drinking,” Leclair’s lawyer Mike Howard told NBC News. “His hand was shaking. At the time, I thought it was shaking because of the verdict. Then he kept drinking and drinking.”

“He chugged it,” prosecutor Jamie Beck told WFAA. “It wasn’t like he was just taking sips of water. He was literally throwing it back, so to speak.”

I would think someone who did what he was convicted of would be too much of a coward to off himself.

Now he is before a higher court than any on this Earth. I believe every prison cell should have a hangman’s noose and stool for those with remorse to end their lives—if they so choose.

I wish the women who have abused boys in the same way and same age would drink cloudy water as well.

When millstones and seasides are unavailable, this will do in a pinch.

From just now rereading a couple of wonderful Celine novels (Castle to Castle, Guignol’s Band), I know that cyanide is ineffective/degraded if contaminated with moisture/water.

In my view that’s an excellent suggestion, and one I’ve never seen before. At the very least they should be given a stool and a noose upon request.

Makes sense, since I’ve always heard about it in capsule form.

Clouds are from climate change.

I have drunk the tap water in the Dallas metro in the past. It tastes like dirt. It doesn’t seem possible that tap water could actually make you thirstier, but it seems lie it.
