msc 18,421 Posted September 15, 2020 I like Peter Jackson's bit quoted on Wiki tbh. "The friendship was for the most part a rich and rewarding one, and we tried to honour that in the film." It was a sweet and nice friendship apart from the whole murdering someone bit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to that new film where Winslet and Saoirse Ronan thesp out as well. I like thesping as much as the next perv, but I just can't be doing with Winalot. I much prefer Billie's thesping.

Sideik 236 Posted November 13, 2020 I haven't found any mention about him so, even if they are old news to break I want to introduce John Arthur Getreu. He is suspected to be the Palo Alto killer who murdered two 21yo girls in the '70s, like the Golden State killer DeAngelo he was linked to the case thanks to DNA found on the crime scene through some genetic genealogy site, and just like DeAngelo he has shown signs of failing health after he was charged. He was hospitalized for a brain embolism a month ago and had his trial postponed to January. Here they say the trial could last a month so next year he is definitelty going to be sentenced. I think any prison term is going to be a life sentence for him, so one to watch. With this post I also take the opportunity to propose (if it doesn't exist) a thread about trials in general, not only for alleged murderers, I find interesting to keep track of people who stand trials because they have a lot of good reasons to see their life expectancy reduced. At the moment I can mention Lee Myung-bak who was confirmed to get 17 years prison term but also Iliescu, Hashim Thaci or Felicien Kabuga, all standing trials for crimes against humanity. I'm not a law expert so I would like to hear someone else's opinion about the chances these people have to receive harsh sentences... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seventy-nine-year-old James Frazier died Nov. 19 at the prison system’s Franklin Medical Center in Columbus.

Ulitzer95 12,567 Posted January 14, 2021 Notorious pedophile Steven Freeman dead at 66 from COVID. Former leader of PIE (the Pedophile Information Exchange), a group affiliated to the National Council for Civil Liberties, which at the time was led by the likes of Harriet Harman and Jack Dromey (now Labour MPs) and Patricia Hewitt (former MP). COVID seems to be ravaging its way through UK prisons. Current MP/Corbynista fan girl and all round nutter Zarah Sultana has requested that prisoners be given priority COVID vaccines now. Unsurprisingly, those demands have not gone down well in her backyard, meeting opposition from both the Government and moderate Labour MPs. Not a bad idea to vaccinate prison staff now mind. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
