Suck shit fatboy

An inmate in the US is claiming he’s too fat to be executed, because the executioners would have trouble finding his veins and that the drugs used would be reduced in effectiveness due to his weight.

Richard Cooey, 41, is sentenced to die in the US state of Ohio for raping and murdering two young women in 1986. His execution is scheduled for October 14. Cooey is 170 cm tall and weighs 121 kg.

Tough shit, fatboy. My advice to the prison authorities is put him on a starvation diet, say no food for a month or so. Then when he reaches goal weight, strap him down and needle him.

Judge tells lawyer to stick it up his arse

A barrister has tried to exclude Greeks from being jurors in a Victorian rape trial because of a “common misunderstanding” they like anal sex. He told the judge that his submission was in fairness to the victim, a Greek woman. He said there was a perception in the community that “Greeks like anal sex” and that the woman might be seen as compliant and “in fact wanting it”.

When the judge refused the application, the lawyer argued again to exclude Greeks in fairness to his client. ” I don’t want a Greek juror empathising with a Greek complainant (the woman), your honour.” he said.

The judge refused the requests to exclude jurors on the basis of race or nationality.

Disgusting, evil (eeeeewwwww!!! part 2)

Yesterday’s post was about something unbelievably disgusting, but here’s another thats on a par with it.

A 26 year old Perth man has been accused of raping a 4 year old girl he was babysitting.

The officer in charge of Western Australia’s Child Protection Squad, Senior Sergeant Gordon Fairman, said the girl had suffered serious injuries “of a sexual nature”.

“Princess Margaret Hospital staff called the police when the girl’s mother took her to casualty yesterday,” he said today.

“She was sedated and examined and then underwent emergency surgery.”

This morning, 26-year-old Stephen John Cracknell appeared in Perth Magistrates Court where he was not required to enter a plea to a charge of aggravated sexual penetration of a child under the age of 13 years.

Capital punishment anyone? Or at least a good daily arse reaming with a large uncomfortable object (something with the texture of a pineapple?) for the next 20 or 30 years.

eeeeeewwwwww!!!!!!!

I’ve read about some pretty awful things but this must take the cake for grossness.

Police say three men (name and shame:Nicholas and Alexander Grunke and Dustin Radke) , carrying shovels, a crowbar and a box of condoms, went to a cemetery in southwestern Wisconsin in 2006 to dig up the body of Laura Tennessen, 20, who had been killed the week before in a motorcycle crash.

Nicholas Grunke had seen an obituary photo of her and asked the others for help digging up her corpse so he could have sexual intercourse with it. Authorities say the men used shovels to reach her grave but were unable to pry open the vault. They fled when a car drove into the cemetery and were eventually arrested.

This has caused some legal wrangling in the state of Wisconsin, after the accused’s lawyers argued that the state’s laws did not outlaw necrophilia. In a 5-2 decision, the high court said Wisconsin law makes sex acts with dead people illegal because they are unable to give consent.

Probably the reason for the lack of specificity in the State’s laws was because no-one contemplated that there would be people sick enough to trawl the obits for suitable dead bodies to screw. This of course ignores one of the fundamental rules of humanity - you name it, someone gets off on it!

Just to be clear about my feelings on this ….. eeeewwwwwww, yuk!

Meanwhile, out in Deliverance country ….

Well actually, this happened in Brisbane, but its the sort of thing you’d expect to see only in those far flung redneck hillbilly valleys in the Appalachians, or the Deep South of America.

A couple has been jailed for the sexual abuse of their daughter. The 35-year-old stepfather received an eight-year prison term. The girl’s 39-year-old mother was sentenced to six months’ jail and three months’ probation.

These charmers, surely candidates for parents of the year, made a pregnancy pact to inseminate their 15-year-old daughter after bearing two biological children with congenital diseases. They wrote up a “contract” with the girl, and then tried to impregnate her using the man’s sperm, which he had masturbated into a syringe. When that didn’t work, the man began having sexual intercourse with his stepdaughter up to three times a day. And Mum wasn’t exactly passively ignoring what was going on - she offered her daughter advice on the best positions to achieve their objective of getting her pregnant.

And not only that, but prosecutors told the court that he had been sexually abusing the girl since she was 12.

The couple were eventually arrested in August 2006 after the girl confided in the family of a friend who encouraged her to go to the police. As he was being arrested, the man indignantly declared: “Did you not see the f—ing contract?”

Yet another argument for compulsory sterilisation …. there are just some people who should not be allowed to breed. Actually, these people are a strong argument for retrospective abortions, even 30 odd years after their own birth.

I don’t suppose I should be surprised at the leniency of the sentences the parents got, after all Courts have been dishing out pissweak sentences forever, but I am. Hard to imagine worse cases of abuse, by both parents, so why wouldn’t this pair of delightful human beings have gotten the maximum possible sentence?

Did she or didn’t she?

I got around to watching the Schapelle Corby documentary that was on TV the other day - “Schapelle Corby: The Hidden Truth.” (I believe Ganja Queen was an alternative name of the program in some places it has been or will be shown. Can’t say it told me anything startling, although it did have its interesting bits.

It seems now that public opinion in Australia has turned significantly against Corby. A poll found that 53 per cent of people believe she is guilty while just 15 per cent say she is innocent. Almost a third of people remain unsure. This compares with something like 85% support for her innocence at the time of her trial.

I’ve always thought she was guilty. Her story is just so unconvincing in so many ways:

• magically, the marijuana bag just happens coincidentally to fit her bag perfectly
• magically, the baggage handlers in Australia happen to pick on her to smuggle marijuana, something thats never been reported before or since (and then why go to the trouble of smuggling it through airport security when you could stack a car boot full of it and have far less risk of detection moving the stuff interstate?)
• magically, the Indonesian customs officers decide they’ll fabricate their evidence about her evasive behaviour at Customs in Denpasar - oddly no reports of similar fabrications before or since
• it was always suss that the defence team relied on a PR campaign to win her sympathy, with no legally substantive defence offered at all.

And I could go on and on about the dodginess of her family. We were laughing at home that it was like watching a David Attenborough wildlife special on bogans. They are way beyond bogan!

Ironic?

Juan Manuel Alvarez attempted to commit suicide in January 2005.

His chosen method was to park his car on the railway tracks and wait for the train. However, he chickened out, and changed his mind at the last minute. However, he could not move the car, so he fled the scene to a friend’s house. His car was hit by a Los Angeles-bound train, which derailed and then ploughed into a train travelling in the opposite direction. 11 people were killed andf more than 180 injured.

Alvarez was found guilty of murder this week, and now faces the death penalty.

The patented Todd McKenney pants down defence

After being arrested for possession of the drug, GBH/GHB/fantasy, Todd McKenney (musical theatre actor, and “Dancing With the Stars” judge), told police that he had been at a party, and had danced so much and got too hot, so he took his pants off to cool down so he could continue dancing. While his pants were down, he claims someone else at the party must have put the drug in his pocket.

McKenney was arrested after being found unconscious in a park, and had to be revived by ambulance officers. He has pleaded not guilty to the charge of drug possession. Since his arrest was revealed in April the entertainer and FM radio host, has publicly defended himself, saying that he had been the victim of drink spiking and “tall poppy syndrome” envy by someone who wanted to bring him down.

Everyone repeat after me, Todd, sure we believe you!!!!

Now I’m thinking such a creative defence lends itself to many situations. Lets see:

• homework not done - Sir, I got so hot riding to school I took my pants off to cool down, and my homework was in the pocket and must have got stolen
• missing deadlines at work - Boss, the preso was on my USB key, in my pocket, but it was so hot on the train I took my pants off to cool down, and when I got to the station I must have grabbed someone else’s pants and put them on by mistake
• speeding fines - Officer, I don’t know why I’ve got this ticket. I wasn’t there that day. I can explain what happened, my license was in my pants ……..

Interesting defence

Convicted gang rapist Bilal Skaf was in court again appealing to get one of his convictions quashed or the sentence to be reduced. Skaf of course was notorious after getting sentenced to 55 years jail for his lead role in a series of gang rapes in Sydney a few years ago. This sentence was later reduced on appeal to 38 years.

In fact he has become so notorious for his crimes that according to his lawyer:

”(Skaf’s name) has become synonymous with rapes committed by people of the Muslim faith in western Sydney and … with gang attacks on young women.”

“If an advertiser were trying to achieve a brand name for a gang rapist, Bilal Skaf has achieved this aim. The product for gang rapist in western Sydney is Bilal Skaf,”

The lawyer went on to say no potential juror could have escaped his notoriety, and it was impossible for him to have ever received a fair trial. Well I say, too bad Bilal, whose fault was that? The fact that you committed so many vicious crimes got you too well known, for being a rapist thug, and now you want to cry because of it. Should have thought of that before you went out and raped all those young women, dickhead.

The second part of his argument, to have his sentence reduced, was even more bizarre, and disturbing. His lawyer said:

“The Gosling Park incident appears to take place over less than one hour,”

“There was no significant harm caused to the complainant, no significant physical injury.”

This is bordering on saying she was up for it, it was just a bit of fun with the boys that got out of hand, and by the way, it didn’t last long and didn’t hurt her. I wonder if the lawyer had enough conscience to go out and vomit after court at the thought of having to use that as an argument in Skaf’s defence?

Skaf’s younger brother Mohammed, 25, is also appealing his conviction and sentence. He has lymphatic cancer and was not present at the hearing. Hopefully he suffers a lingering and painful death from the disease.

Anger Management

Anger management has been quite topical in the news this week, due to an incident on the weekend involving Federal Labor politician Belinda Neal and her husband, NSW Education Minister, John Della Bosca (more of that later, but I’ll mention a couple of other angry people first).

A man in England was punched and knocked unconscious, and is now fighting for life in hospital, after being accused of queue-jumping in a supermarket. He was accused of jumping the queue by a woman, who then rang her boyfriend. When he arrived minutes later, the woman then allegedly pointed to the man, who the boyfriend then punched. According to a supermarket employee:

“He fell backwards and his head hit the ground. He just never got up. I didn’t see the punch but I saw the blood everywhere.”

Another man said:

“The victim was simply standing at the entrance to the shopfloor. He was hit once with a powerful punch and slumped to the floor.”

The injured man is not expected to survive. All because some stupid woman could not just chill out in the line, read a magazine and just wait a few minutes, and happened to have a violent thug for a boyfriend. Arseholes.

Then we had Sarah May Ward, who allegedly ran down Eli Westlake in Sydney last weekend, after an argument in a convenience store. It is alleged that the argument started over some cheese balls being thrown by Mr Westlake or his friends at Ms Ward’s car. The argument continued for about five minutes as Ward drove along Lithgow Street until she allegedly told her passenger: “I’ve had enough of these guys.” Ward allegedly drove the car once into Mr Westlake and her car collided with Mr Westlake’s leg and he was pushed to the side of the car. Security camera footage from a nearby bar allegedly shows Mr Westlake trying to walk away and Ward reversing the car out of the driveway on Lithgow Street. Shortly after, further footage shows Ward “deliberately driving the motor vehicle at the deceased and other witnesses, mounting the curb, crossing a grass nature strip and travelling over a small tree [before] striking Mr Westlake.

According to police:

“CCTV shows this to be a deliberate act by the accused with the vehicle accelerating towards the deceased and with no attempt to stop the vehicle prior to or after the collision.”

Ward was arrested and taken to Chatswood police station, where she was charged with murder, dangerous driving, driving without a licence and mid-range drink driving. Police alleged that Ward drank two bottles of wine, smoked two cones of marijuana, and took four five-milligram valium tablets and an ecstasy tablet during Friday, at a party at a friend’s house and at a bar in Chatswood (obviously just a quiet night out for her?). She has an extensive history of traffic offences, “including previous low and mid-range [drink driving] and unlicensed offences”, police said. She had also been prescribed dexamphetamine and valium tablets for depression. No doubt all this drug use will be trotted out when it comes time to defend the murder and other charges ….as I’ve said many times before drug or alcohol impairment should never be allowed to be accepted as a defence or mitigation to crimes - I believe if you render yourself senseless, you’re entitled to be fully responsible for your actions in that state …. don’t like that, don’t write yourself off with drugs or piss. Simple!

So because a 37 year old woman, who should have been mature enough to deal with it, but obviously wasn’t, due to being off her face on drugs on alcohol, was unable to control her temper, a young man is senselessly killed. Hope she ends up getting the maximum for murder, she deserves it.

Finally we have the angry Belinda Neal, who with her husband John Della Bosca last weekend, allegedly got into an argument with staff at Iguana’s restaurant in Gosford, Ms Neal apparently objected when their group was asked by staff to move to a different table, and during the argument things got heated and she threatened to have the place closed down, to get staff sacked etc. Eventually they left, which is another story as Della Bosca drove home, something which he had told NSW Parliament he wouldn’t be doing, as he had recently lost his license for speeding offences (technically he still has a license as the revocation process hasn’t been completed yet).

Then we got into a battle of duelling statutory declarations, with a number of Iguanas staff and managers setting out their version of events. Then suddenly the next day the management rescinded theirs and apologised to the 2 politicians, after a series of phone calls. What has also emerged is that Mr Della Bosca and Ms Neal had connections with Ray Awadullah, a part owner of the restaurant. (I can imagine what happened in the various phone calls leading up to the withdrawal of the statutory declarations and the apologies ….owner decides he doesn’t need grief from politicians, leans on managers and staff to pull their heads in, along with threats of legal action, ie “do you really want to press this, I’m going to sue the arse off you if you do?”). However, some of the staff members have stuck by their version of the events as has another witness. Meanwhile, Neal and Della Bosca’s group has provided their own statutory declarations, which are of course very different to the staff’s. Now police are reported to be investigating the possibility that false statutory declarations have been made, which is a reasonably serious crime. I’d be fairly safe betting this will end up going nowhere …. too much of a political hot potato for the police to handle, so they’ll find insufficient evidence to back a charge of making a false declaration (ie someone may have been wrong but they genuinely held the belief that what they said happened did in fact happen).

Anyway, given the choice between who to believe in this case, I know where I stand. So apparently does Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Deputy Julia Gillard, who have called Ms Neal to task over her behaviour. She has been told to undergo anger management counselling. (This last article linked to has plenty of dirt on Belinda Neal - its quite entertaining, and is consistent with stories I’ve heard from friends who live up that way). Many politicians are incredibly arrogant, and quite prepared to thrown their weight around to get their own way, but Ms Neal appears to be extremely aggressive even for a politician. (and its not only politicians, I’ve seen through work some of their hangers on get a very inflated sense of their own importance).
