I think Granny is keeping quiet on the forum as Cathy's new trial approaches in case someone quotes her or her family in court.  She will not want anything to jeapordise the outcome of Cathy's guilty verdict.  Only rabid antis believe the b1tch is innocent.

I hope the Dorothy Booth, her family and loved ones finally receive the justice they deserve.

If you Google "Hank Skinner" you end up with his website, my website (http://www.hankskinner.com) and a Wikipedia page as the top hits.  About twice a year, Sandrine (wifeaux) comes along, removes the facts from Wikipedia, and replaces it with her propaganda/gossip.  Shortly thereafter it gets reverted (fixed) by the anti's who watch the page!

You know you're fighting a losing battle when your own side edits your propaganda out!  Personally, I think there are a bunch of honest anti folks who used to have questions about Hank's guilt but have read the facts in context and think they better find a different wagon to which to hitch their horses.  Even John/J.Bennett/John.B/J.B./etc. Skeptical Juror has gone silent on Skinner.

Not good news for Hank.

Just a little update on my precious, beautiful, strong, courageous, fighting daughter. There's not much to report as far as the paralysis, it's the same, from the head down. Her hands (from the elbows down) have regained a lot of movement but absolutely no strength. She has excruciating pain in her calves, feet, hands, elbows and on her head in the temple area, they have upped her pain meds a few times and added additional meds, all in all she has 12 medications prescribed to her but of course hospital staff allow her to refuse the ones she doesn't want to take. She is amazing in Physical and Occupational therapy and gives it 100% effort on her part, she has a great attitude!!!! It is going to be a long journey and this past week the doctors told us that she will be going home in pretty much the same condition she is now with the exception of a little more upper body strength.  But she is strong and determined to beat this beast, Guillain-Barre Syndrome!!!!!! ♥ She may not walk out of the hospital when the time comes but SHE WILL WALK AGAIN!!!

Oh and the respiratory doctors have released her! She is done with that therapy. Still having an issue with low blood pressure, low potassium, high liver enzymes and she has only ate 3 meals in the past 6 days but today and yesterday were those meals so hopefully her appetite is returning again.  It seems like everyday we either take 2 steps forward and 1 back, or some days it is 1 step forward and 1 back.  It's going to be a long haul....   please continue to keep her in your prayers.

"I'm not going to ask you to forgive me. I can't even do it myself."

At least he owned it! So many do not!

Another TV interview with Skinner...

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqJ6s07pqqM

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k9JqGeQkJk

Hopefully these will be coming to an end soon.

I didn't watch all of the first one.  The lies that come out of his disgusting mouth almost made me throw up. That pos needs to go down! Now! Lies,lies, and more lies.

I'll bet skank is eating this all up.  I'll be glad when ole Hank gets his justice juice.  It will be interesting to see which disgusting piece of human excrement she marries next. Skank, the merry black widow!

Just got the following comment on a Youtube video where Skinner accuses his ex-wife of the murders:

Yeah, that ex-wife is my mother and there is no possible way she could have committed the murder. She had an air tight alibi for one and she and Twila were good friends for two. In addition, Skinner was the one who abused my mother during their volatile relationship and he wants to find a new fall guy. The poor uncle is now dead and can't defend himself, so he has to have someone else to try to put the blame off on.

I'm always amazed at the real people whose lives are impacted/destroyed by these beasts even years after they should have been worm food.  Here's to Skinner's lucky number being 2013!

And shame on the DA for not appealing who is supposed to be for the victim and society in general.  I hope the DA has a good reason.

Dee

I will actually go against the grain and back the DA up on this. Granted, the execution shouldn't have been postponed and these race card defenses are tedious but it's better for the DA to let it proceed this way. It's better to let the appeal by the defense be denied so there is no reason for any improprieties to be claimed in this instance. She got lucky tonight but her luck will run out on April 3rd.

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome and I must admit the tears as well. They truely touched my heart and brought me comfort.
Thank you soo much!!

Hi Lisa,

I empathize with your frustration.  However, if you step back and look: this guy will wait out justice in a small metal box.  His roommate is a toilet.  He's told what he can and can't do 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  He is deprived of virtually all meaningful human contact.  He will spend his remaining years there knowing that the ultimate end of it all will be a needle in his arm.  When he gets a date (and he'll probably get several) he will agonize over whether this will be the real day, or whether his lawyer can get him off one more time.

Yes, I wish justice were quicker; especially when everyone knows it's deserved.  However, if the wheels must turn slow, that's not a bad way for a scumbag to spend the rest of his life!

Anyway, sorry for your loss.  I hope we can be supportive.

 Hi, I'm a newbie. Being from Ohio and transplanted into Tennessee. I've always believed in the DP but not the merciful kind. I think they should be killed as they choose to mercilessly kill. I know that makes me sound like a cruel and bitter person but I am actually just the opposite.  I do have unfinished business in seeing the murderer of my son's father that has sat on DR for many many years now still to meet the hands of JUSTICE!
The state of Ohio has yet to put david sneed on the list. His accomplice is out on parole. That's not justice for my Butch! 
 I raised our son whom I'm proud to say is a fine man of 2 sons and a great father himself. He was much to young to remember his dad but only has to look in the mirror to see what he looked like.  He even has his laugh,his mannerisms,his walk. I didn't know for many years that Butch had been murdered. I had this unbeieveable pulling feeling that I listened to and went back to Ohio to look for him but to no avail.
 I was very concerned about Butch's drinking when I was young, I had never seen anyone litterally have the shakes til he got a drink. To tell the truth it scared the hell out of me and as much as I loved him. I loved this innocent baby boy more and I had to protect him. So in my young cunning mind if I don't go after him for child support,he won't get legal visitation.  The last time he saw his son,he was 17 months old.
 I didn't know he'd joined the Navy,got off the drinking and straighten out his life a bit. Butch had a heart a big as the sun and would help anyone if they asked.  He definitely didn't deserve what happened to him but I think they would have killed him anyway even if he would've given them his money.
  I went on doing the best I could and answered all the questions I could about his dad. When he got old enough we hired a private investgator to find him. And find him he did. It breaks my heart that I was soo young.
  I feel like I'll let Butch down if I don't see this through.  He's never been far from my thoughts all these years. When I look at my son I see him. His big head,his brown eyes,I don't think that boy got anything from me. My brains,he did graduate and went to college. No,I didn't! But do as I say not as I do.....
I would welcome any ideas you have that I can do to get an execution date set. Buttons to push a paticular butt to point my foot toward. I need help in this process,PLEASE......
Many,many thanks, Lisa

It seems we all missed a court decision in the autumn of 2012 that with just one stroke of a pen removed one of Texas longest serving DR inmates from DR.

Pierce - now 53 years old - was just 18 when he murdered a restaurang manager during a robbery. He had been on DR since 1978. While on DR he also murdered another inmate over 30 years ago - allegedly in self defence.

Pierce made a plea agreement that got him a life sentence and also made him eligible for parole in the future.

http://www.myfoxhouston.com/story/19423969/2012/08/30/some-happy-others-horrified-convicted-killer-could-walk

After the removal of mr Pierce there are now 5 inmates left on Texas DR with sentences that dates back to the 1970ies:

- #541 Raymond Riles (born 1950 on DR since 1976)
- #577 Harvey Earvin (born 1958 on DR since 1977)
- #609 Clarence Jordan (born 1956 on DR since 1978)
- #615 Jack Smith (born 1937 on DR since 1978)
- #636 Arturo Aranda (bornd 1948 on DR since 1979)

additionally there are 3 more offenders that have been on DR for 30 years or more and another 11 that have been there for 25 years or more.

Kimberly McCarthy Scheduled to be Executed

The dead are never victims...
by Robert A. Waters
 
Kimberly McCarthy would do anything for crack. Anything. On July 22, 1997, the Lancaster, Texas addict called her neighbor, seventy-one-year-old Dr. Dorothy Booth, and asked to borrow a cup of sugar.
 
On arriving at Booth’s home, McCarthy attacked her with a candelabrum and two butcher knives. As Booth lay dead (or maybe while she was still alive), McCarthy cut off her finger. Removing Booth’s diamond wedding ring, McCarthy then pawned it for $200. Police arrested the killer at a liquor store while she was in the act of using Booth’s credit cards.

Court records describe the evidence against Kimberly Lagayle McCarthy: “We first note that the State offered ample evidence of appellant's guilt...The victim's caller ID records showed that she received two calls from an anonymous number on July 22, 1997, at 6:19 a.m. and 6:29 a.m. [on the day of the murder]. Harry Wilkins, Jr., aka, ‘Smiley,’ testified that appellant was driving the victim's white Mercedes Benz station wagon when she met him on the morning of July 22, 1997, to inquire about buying crack cocaine. The State further showed that appellant pawned the victim's diamond ring on July 22, 1997, and that she used the victim's credit cards at several locations on July 23, 1997. When appellant was arrested on July 24, 1997, she attempted to take with her a tote bag containing the victim's driver's license and several of the victim's credit cards. The State's strongest independent evidence of appellant's guilt was produced when the police executed a search warrant at appellant's home on July 24, 1997. Officers found a large knife stained with Dr. Booth's blood in appellant's kitchen cabinet above the refrigerator. The bloody knife matched other knives found in the kitchen drawers of appellant's house. [DNA tests confirmed that the blood on the knife was consistent with Booth’s blood.]”
 
In Texas, as in all other states, it’s exceedingly rare for a female to be sentenced to death. The pre-meditated and gruesome nature of this case convinced the judge to sentence McCarthy to the ultimate penalty.
 
McCarthy’s execution is scheduled for January 29, 2013. Texas is serious about justice, and so, unless there is a surprise ruling by an appellate court, she will receive her reward. As she trudges toward the gurney, will McCarthy remember the frail neighbor who tried to help her by giving her sugar? Will she feel remorse for her savage and lethal attack on Dorothy Booth? Will she think of her victim’s still-grieving family?
 
I think not. More likely, she’ll see herself as the victim. And the sad thing is that there are those who will agree with her.

Absolutely open and shut...and I do think Texas is going to nail her come the 29th!

Ironic that a tattoo artist turned out to be afraid of needles! How odd.
