A paroled killer’s “Obama” bumper sticker was the break that helped cops nab the man accused of the cold-blooded murder of a Tedeschi’s convenience store clerk, jurors in Edward Corliss’ murder trial learned yesterday.
“It struck me as odd,” state parole officer Kevin Devlin testified yesterday in Suffolk Superior Court about the campaign sticker plastered on the back of parolee Corliss’ white Plymouth Acclaim.
“He’s a guy from Somerville, so I was surprised he was supporting Obama,” Devlin said.
“I made a joke about it. He said it was on the car when they bought it.”
Corliss is on trial for the murder of Surendra Dangol, a 39-year-old immigrant from Nepal and Jamaica Plain convenience store clerk who was gunned down on the day after Christmas in 2009.
At that time, Corliss, now 65, was on parole after serving part of a life sentence for killing a Salisbury store clerk in 1971.
After the shocking 2009 execution, Devlin learned police were looking for a car exactly like his parolee’s and dropped the dime that led cops to Corliss. Police said security video images of the robber’s getaway car show the same Obama-touting vehicle.
Police said Corliss donned a hat and a woman’s wig, entered the store on Centre Street in Jamaica Plain, took $746 in cash and shot Dangol.
Jurors almost didn’t hear Devlin’s testimony yesterday.
Corliss’ lawyer John C. Hayes argued that if jurors learned Corliss was on parole they might be prejudiced in the first-degree murder, armed robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm case.
But Judge Diane Kottmyer overruled him, advising jurors that Corliss is innocent until proven guilty.
“The fact that he was on parole has nothing to do with the facts of this case,” she said
I think the cop meant that Somerville is more communist than Democrat. LOL.
Somerville is moonbat central, right up there with Cambridge.
Looks more like him instead....
Well, duh....
Because he had learned his lesson, was fully rehabilitated and was ready to go back into society, silly.
Why else would the parole board release him? Apparently, you don't have much confidence in government bureaucrats, do you?
Unfortunately, the joke's on all of us, now, too.
It's a joke with no punchline, either...
Perhaps these endorsements are being used as talismans to ward off arrest.
“Obama sticker led cops to shooting suspect “
I suspect most murders would be at the end of an 0bama sticker.
Remember congress critter Michael Capuano telling union thugs it is time to get bloody and then some of them hassled Tea Party members at a rally on Boston Common? He is a former mayor of Somerville.
I have a Nixon Now button. I wonder if anyone collects them.
I had one of the Vote NO Obamanation 2008 stickers and someone scratched off the NO in the parking lot. So now it says Vote Obamanation 2008... Guess that made it all better.
