Nurse Who Killed 29 Patients Gagged In Court
The Indy Channel ^ | 03/10/06 | AP

ALLENTOWN, Pa. -- Charles Cullen is not going quietly to prison.

The man who killed 29 patients in New Jersey and Pennsylvania disrupted his sentencing in the Keystone State Friday afternoon. The judge ordered court officers to gag Cullen.

Cullen kept repeating, "Your honor, you need to step down."

Court workers tried gagging him with cloth. When that didn't work, they tried duct tape.

That didn't work either, so the judge went ahead with the proceeding as Cullen repeated the statement hundreds of times over the course of half an hour.

Cullen was apparently angry about a newspaper article in which the judge said he would force Cullen to be present for his sentencing -- at which he got six life terms.

Earlier in the day, a judge added another life sentence for the death of a retired Bethlehem, Pa., steel worker in 1998. At the sentencing, the judge criticized hospitals for not warning each other of suspicions when Cullen switched jobs.

Cullen was sentenced to one life term on top of the 11 terms he got last week in New Jersey.

I am relatively new to this site. What level of appropriateness is there to the gagging he will receive in prison?

I will bet you dollars to donuts the bailiffs were female.

They should have duct-taped his mouth AND his nose shut. Problem solved, permanently.

They should have consulted with the Duct Tape Council.

You haven't seen my momma when she is in a huff, she would have taken him apart at the seams first and used the duct tape to hold him back together.

Those might pull out too easily, you need one that bends the ends over. Maybe a surgical model....

Hi All-

Either a zippered helmet like that or a ball gag...that dirtbag shouldn't be the one doing all the talking.

Why waste the duct tape? Hes admitted hes killed so many people. Hes a monster. Jam a needle in his arm with some draino and hope it hurts like the dickens and put a end to this monster once and for all. Just like he killed all those people kill him and shut him up forever!
