(10-21) 04:00 PDT Brussels - A jealous schoolteacher was found guilty of murder Wednesday for sabotaging the parachute of a rival in a love triangle, causing her to crash to her death.
The verdict against Els Clottemans, 26, ended a monthlong trial that revealed no hard proof that she had sabotaged Els Van Doren's parachute so that neither it nor a safety chute opened during a Nov. 18, 2006, jump over eastern Belgium.
**SNIP**
Her trial opened Sept. 24 with the accused sitting nervously near the mud-caked parachute bag and helmet that Els Van Doren wore on the day she died.
The jury saw video footage Van Doren had shot during her last jump.
The video from her helmet camera showed the victim looking up, yanking in vain at her gear.
She crashed in a garden in Opglabbeek and was killed instantly.

Oh, yeah. Guilty.

Not likely.
Sad that she ate high-speed garden dirt.
Somewhere, a safety check was missed, or taken for granted.
:) “Reporters” are the new retards.
So she froze to death before she could open her chute?
Were they carrying oxygen masks and heated suits?.............
is this a remake of NCIS or CSI?
Deserves the death penalty.

Apparently, guilt shows.

Hefty, hefty, hefty.
Guilty, guilty, guilty.
xjcsa,
In Florida in July it is hot as can be so I sometimes fly up to about 10,000 feet and get very chilled down.
