Are you suggesting that there was some kind of weird suicide/murder of a DA in Pennsylvania some years ago?
You may be thinking of Budd Dwyer, who was the Pennsylvania State Treasurer about 30 years ago. He was convicted on a number of charges including conspiracy, mail fraud, perjury, and racketeering. He was facing a lengthy jail term. The day before his sentencing. he called a news conference that was carried live by a number of Pennsylvania TV stations. He made a rambling speech, then pulled out a gun and shot himself on live TV before the cameras could cut away.
And they never found his body.
But they found his laptop in the Susquehanna River a few blocks from my house.
He was the DA in Center County/ State College, during the Paterno/ Penn State fiasco.
You beat me to it
Referring to R. Budd Dwyer, the Pennsylvania State Treasurer who shot himself at a press conference.
THERE IS AN ENDING THAT IS VERY HARD TO TOP!!!!!
Witty!
Which psychotropic drug was he on?
So, he was hung?
Yep... Six of them...😎
No, but I remember hearing about that on the school bus. The What I’m talking about was more of a mystery. There was no mystery with Dwyers’s case
What did he have on Hildebeast ?
Oddly, Chris Plante had on his radio show today that Wisconsin rejected the death penalty while still a territory before statehood.
Said common people watching were shocked that the criminal took so long to quit kicking and gurgling. Seemed harsh. so they banned it.
Macabre subject cartoonist Gahan Wilson had one where two phone company guys entered an office and one said: “There’s the problem right there. Phone’s off the hook.”
A man had wrapped the phone wire around his neck and hanged himself.
Hey man...
