"Justice Files" on Discovery channel

Particularly chilling episode showing yet again the failure of the Justice system.

A Texas multiple murderer (3 teens) is convicted and sentenced to death in 1961, ducks, dodges and weaves until the 1990s, when he is let loose (sentence earlier reduced to "Life") because of overcrowding.

Dead women start showing up again.

A really bad scene that points up the predatory "target of opportunity" mindset where he is cruising with his buddy at night
and spots a woman washing her car at a car wash. They pull in they next stall and he goes over to the Condition White woman, grabs her by the throat and abducts, rapes, and murders her. All I could think of was "If only she carried."

The one scene that prompted me to post this is one that I have to believe was staged. It was where this animal bogs down a victims car, walks to an isolated house and asks the woman for a meal. (Oh oh)

The camera is looking over his shoulder into the living room as they talk. There's the husband sitting in a chair, reading a paper, with a pump shotgun leaning against his left armrest.

I don't think any of us, even those in Condition "Orange" sit around at night like that.

To me, it sure came across that because he saw the shotgun, nobody there was hurt. I'd like to think somebody on that show did it intentionally - a not-so-subtle pro-gun message.

Anybody else see it and noticed that?
 
Oatka,
I watched "American Justice" yesterday. They had the story of the guy who murdered Polly Klas in California. My hands are shaking with rage as I type this reply. The guy's defense was that "it was just a robbery that went bad, and that he didn't really intend to sexually molest the little girl". "He HAD to kill her after it was over because she could identify him and he just didn't want to go back to the joint". When the foreman of the jury read the guilty verdict, this scum turned to the Klas family, gave a little sly look, blew her father a kiss, and gave him a two handed "bird".
I'll think about that for a long time.

My sentiments exactly. At the sentencing phase, that scumbag started claiming the little girl had told him "not to hurt her like her daddy did." I'm surprised the father didn't kill him right there. Lord knows I wouldn't have found him guilty for it.
 
As if the Polly Klaas murder wasn't bad enough, her father Marc Klaas used the notoriety gained from the incident to call a press conference to declare his support for the passage 1994 "assault weapon" ban.
