I was listening to the talking head of Katie Couric's this morning, and she was interviewing Gwinnett County District Attorney Daniel Porter. I wasn't paying too close attention, but I heard her ask something about getting Miss Wilbanks some psychiatric help... and I heard is response as "You cannot help someone until you get them under the control of the courts."
That's the general idea of a prison.
I guess so they can pull her feeding tube
This is in connection with deciding whether or not to press charges. Trying to do the "right thing" to "help" her as far as the courts are able.
No -- you're reading way too much into the comment. He was saying that the authorities can't make her get psychiatric help unless she is a ward of the courts. That's been the legal standard for a couple of hundred years or so.
Oh no that is not good at all. Matter of fact it is down right frightening! I can't believe they said that.
Spank her. Spank her hard. This bug-eyed bitch cost the taxpayers thousands, maybe tens-of-thousands of dollars. She is not a "victim". She is a psycho. Period. Thank you.
OK, I would understand that if she was charged with something. Right now she is not. I didn't take the comment as the courts wanting to press charges against her, but as them wanting to taking legal custodianship of a citizen to make her "better".
I dunno. The comment just struck me weird, I guess.
The courts have always done that with mentally ill who commit crimes. They court order them to see a psychiatrist or other mental health provider. Like crazy stalkers or paranoid schizophrenics who commit crimes.
That girl looks like she is on drugs! I'm sorry but her eyes are tooo wierd!
And then, do with her as you please. And then you must spank us all.
(Girls: Oh, yes spank me. Oh, spank me.)
The part of this story that bugged me was the community's
over-the-edge reacton to this couple's wedding! Eight
wedding showers? Gift costs had to be up the wazoo!
Sounds like the total cost of wedding arrangements was
a helluva lot more than the mere $100,000 the investigation cost!
And I ask, why? This couple had been living together
for FIVE YEARS! Why was everyone so excited at this point
in the relationship? Sheer relief? I can't figure out
why some of the citizenry would now feel they had been
deceived. Seems to me they were very willing deceptees!
The news is reporting that she may be billed for the costs to search for her.
I wonder if they are going to bill the two young boys who got lost in the Atlantic Ocean?
Another shyster prosecutor wanting to make a name for himself, just like Barry Krischer, the prosecutor going after Rush Limbaugh's medical records.
funny thing about her eyes. on friday everyone was saying how wierd HIS (finace's) eyes were, and that maybe her eyes were screwed up because she just got contacts.
people right here on FR were all for putting him in jail right next to Scott Peterson, and when I suggested that her dissapearance might have been voluntary (either a runaway or a suicide), I was being stupid. Yeah.
my point now is who did she run away WITH? Since she left her money and everything behind, she knew she was going. she didn't get halfway across the country without meals, etc.. heck where did she get the money for a phone call?
she ahd to have had assistance. my question is from whom?
the two young boys who got lost in the ocean was an accident. this was deliberate. big diff.
but I did hear about the USCG wanting to bill boaters who require coast guard assistance while asea. dunno whatever happened to that proposal.
The Judicial Branch is now the only branch that matters in America.
All power now emanates from the courts.
Maybe she's good at getting stuff. Looks like she got a teddy bear, tote bag, afghan, clothes and food just in the few hours she was with LE in NM. Not to mention escort through the airports and a ride home in a police car.
