They were joking on a Chicago radio station today that Geragos is on his way to Qatar to defend Saddam. ROFL!

[Velveeta]

Unfortunately, Rickamorti never put up that article and I had to surf to even find the version that has that synopsis at the end.

Here's a copy of the motion for change of venue from Geragos.

Oh, I read that over at another site:

{{breaking News}} Geragos travels to Quatar to "meet new client"
Gee. I wonder what this means. He hasn't said who this new client is yet, but I have heard about motions to return "the $750,000, the taxicab, and the styrofoam lid."



i heard mg is going to produce the "real dictator" in hours if not days.


That's not all. He wants to move SP's trial to Dohar, Quatar, as well. Too bad though, because, according to the the latest polls, more than 75% of Quatar citizens believe "SP is as guilty as sin," "sturgeon fishing was the dumbest alibi ever," and "Vera is a loon." Smart people

lol!!

Great to have you back, Maggie!!!

[Devil_Anse]

You might find the article on Purgatory.

Oh--wait! Hergus has those articles!

[Devil_Anse]

How about Hergus?

[Devil_Anse]

produce the real dictator

Priceless!

I think a change of venue to Quatar would be acceptable... as long as Scott agrees to accept the range of punishments found on the books under Qatar law...

[Canadian Outrage]

Like "off with your head"???

[Devil_Anse]

Right. And the victim's family gets to do it.

Yup, Qatar would be good. No chance of media saturation; I doubt Al Jazeera has covered much about this story... you think?

[Canadian Outrage]

We could watch that "smirk" disappear pretty fast couldn't we?? I don't think this guy can comprehend that he can actually be found guilty. In some ways he's a total space cadet.!! btw at Safeway today I just happened to pass by the book rack. There was Ann Rule's new book "Without Pity". It is a complicaiton of Psychopathic Killers, eg: the admired trusted neighbour; the charismatic lover; the high acheieving professional. Perhaps the most frightening of all is that they are heroes in their own minds. But when someone gets in the way of their deluded dreams, they are capable of deadly acts of violence with no remorse. That is just a "little of the explanation of what this book contains". She goes through the stories of multiple murders committed by this type.

I think that he would get a unbiased nonsaturated trial here in Lander. We still operate by "pony express".

[Velveeta]

LOL! What a hoot. Thanks.

[Velveeta]

I checked Hergus' site and couldn't find it.

[Velveeta]

Sounds good to me.

Still laughing about "produce the real dictator"!

[Devil_Anse]

Ditto here. I could swear I came across a site which had a lot of tabloid articles indexed. It had it in blue, and you could just click on whichever one--they had the dates listed. Now I can't find that site.

I watched a Cold Case Files episode about that type, last night. "Hero in his own mind" is a perfect description of this guy. His name was Bob Spangler. He had killed his two teenaged children w/o provocation, after killing his wife. He tricked his wife into sitting with her eyes closed by telling her he had a present for her for Christmas. When she had her eyes closed, he just walked up and shot her in the head. He arranged so that it looked like she had shot her own children, then committed suicide.

IMO, it was sheer incompetence that kept the truth from being found out about that one for something like 16 years. As a result of the failure to investigate those murders properly, about 16 years later, Spangler took his 3rd wife hiking near the Grand Canyon, and she "fell" to her death.

The police interviewed him for long hours. He let them, b/c he liked to talk about himself. Finally he confessed to the three earlier murders. But he wouldn't come clean on the more recent one--until the interviewer explained that he couldn't REALLY be considered a serial killer unless he had had more than one episode of killing. That got to his pathetic ego, and he confessed to the Grand Canyon murder.

He sat there and told them things like, "I'm an interesting person... I'm different from the average person." TYPICAL. What a laughable piece of sh## he was.

Most psychopaths, though, don't reach those "heights". Instead, as Hervey Cleckley said in his excellent book "The Mask of Sanity", they spend their lives scamming people in more minor ways. They have absolutely no reverence for anything, no matter how serious or important it is. In fact, they take pleasure in sneering behind their hands about things which others find serious. Empty suits.

[Devil_Anse]

Yes, that was priceless!

Yes, and I don't even know any of the laws of Qatar, but I just have a feeling that they wouldn't let us down... lol.
