Well the sick sh*t was charged with rape, incest, etc., but he is going to a mental institution so really no justice is being served.

...and Srbo wins the Godwin Award!

Hmmmm...

I thanked you already, but now I don`t know if winning that is a good thing at all...

Since I don`t know what that award is...

I was going to post something about the wife being a possible victim of her husband, too. But I was the victim of sexual (as well as physical and emotional) abuse as a child and I find that I am unable to be objective or even articulate anything right now.

Yet another reason for capital punishment !!! although at 75 and with every inmate knowing who he is when he finally gets into a prison - his life might finally emulate that of his victim.

the sadder thing is that a few weeks ago she and the kids were put in a house in the community to start to build a new life ... and this poor girl had a bloke start stalking her... so for her safety she had to go back to the psych centre where she has been living. She cant go back until they have fitted the house with security cameras, alarm systems and security screens. Makes you wonder if she has left one prison to go to another one (although this time without the raping) The society we live in which seems to thrive off stories like this is making her chance of a normal life even harder.

Just heard this morning that the prison he will be attending has the best library in Austria, a great study program, a Gym that is better than most 5 star hotels and is set at the foot of the alps in a converted nunnery !!! yet again justice lets down society !

And, he has admitted to locking his mother in the attic and boarding up the windows so she would never see sunlight again - apparently he was abused as a child and decided to get revenge - she died locked away and no one knows how long she was up there.

It's not a bad thing.

Godwin's Law

And I did not mean it as an insult or snark.

Didn`t think you meant it as an insult at all.

Thanks for the link.

It would for most people, yes. But then it's easy to fool someone who is already looking the other way.

Eyes wide shut! Even if the wife really didn't know it seems that one of Elizabeth's siblings would have ventured down into that basement sometime during those 24 smucking years. Somebody knew or suspected something was going on.

But, I would have gotten out. I would have beaten the sh!t out of Joself. Honestly, I would have killed him. There’s no way in hell he would have kept there for all those years. No smucking way.

I believe I read that he is suicide watch. WHY?! People should be chanting, "Do it, do it, do it".
