Well, being as she is at the DUmp she is probably more into "femail sex". 

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

23.He claimed that he didn't do it.
   
And I'm not going to get into an arguement with you about his innocence or guilt here.

Melanie, I won't argue guilt or innocence with you.  How about you give the whole story sometime though?

"Reginald Perkins has been connected by DNA evidence to at least 2 other murders since his conviction and sentence to death ..."

"In 1982 Reginald Perkins was convicted of rape of a minor, attempted rape and gross sexual imposition - the victims of these convictions were 2 12 year old girls"

"In 1999, an Ohio court found that Perkins was a sexual predator"

I don't really care at this point if he was guilty of THAT particular murder or not.  He was scum and I'm glad he no longer breathes the same air I do.

Reginald Perkins embarked on a series of heinous crimes years before he brutally killed his stepmother and robbed her of her wedding ring in 2000, the crime for which he's sentenced to die today.

The 53-year-old Fort Worth man was in prison for five years, sitting on Texas' death row, when science linked him to the 1991 slayings of Hattie Wilson, 79, and her niece Shirley Douglas, 44. The women were found strangled inside their East Fort Worth apartment.
"He is very smart and very scary," said Fort Worth police Detective Manny Reyes, who visited Perkins on death row in October to obtain the DNA connecting the convicted murderer to the deaths of Wilson and Douglas.

Gertie Perkins, 64, was also strangled. Prosecutors say she was much more than a stepmother to the man convicted in her murder.

"He called her Mom," said Kevin Rousseau, an assistant district attorney in Tarrant County, who prosecuted Perkins. "He was her stepson, but she raised him. He spent a good part of his life growing up with her."



(last bold) See? He was a really, really nice guy.

Making a habit of befriending death row inmates just doesn't seem to me like a very wise hobby for a woman to be engaged in. Occasionally these people do get out, and she may find out just how innocent that person was NOT, when he shows up at her doorstep.

I'm sure there are some fine men in our VA hospitals who have no one to write to them, probably even victims of Chimpy McBushHitler you can comiserate with. Why don't you pick one of those honorable friendless persons, instead of a scum sucking POS child raper/murderer who doesn't deserve either friends, or the air that he breathes?

That was my point, too, a little earlier in this thread.

There seems something Freudianly unsettling in a woman going out of her way to target a certain group for "friends."

We all do that, to some degree--I hang with college graduates (any degrees), blue collars, and avoid the deaf--but I don't put a whole lot of time and energy into it.

If it happens, okay; if it doesn't happen, okay.

Essentially, we're all commanded by God to accept all who come our way.

We aren't supposed to pick-and-choose.

Melanie goes out of her way to pick such people; it's not that she by chance runs into them.

That alone shows an unhealthy obsession.

And it's obvious her subconscious intention is simply to announce to the world, "Hey, look what a nice and virtuous and caring person I am," rather than to do anything for the guy.

That's very selfish and not mentally healthy.

     That's EXACTLY it. I don't see her talking about penpal relationships with the women on death row. She's got some sort of fetish for condemned men...she probably has a misplaced messiah complex that she knows is doomed to fail, and she probably doesn't climax until the plungers are pushed in the execution chamber.

Or a middle aged woman or elderly woman apparently. It seems the only women safe from his wrath were in their 20's and 30's. Maybe he just hadn't gotten around to them before he was unceremoniously arrested and sentenced to death with such flimsy evidence as DNA to prove I'd actually killed people.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Supreme Court Monday ruled 7-2 that it is unconstitutional for judges rather than juries to make findings of fact that result in a person being sentenced to death.

http://archives.cnn.com/2002/LAW/06/24/scotus.executions/index.html

and here

W A S H I N G T O N -- The Supreme Court overturned the death sentences of dozens of convicted killers Monday, ruling that juries and not judges must make this life-or-death decision.

The 7-2 ruling affects the way death sentences are imposed in at least five states. The court made its ruling retroactive, meaning that more than 150 death sentences must be reconsidered.

230. Do you ever write to the families of victims?
   
You know, the kids who don't have their moms or dads anymore because of people like your friend? Do you send them money to make sure they can buy a baseball mitt, or maybe basketball shoes?

Or you just care for murderers more?

32. A guy I went to high school with got the death penalty
   
He's dead.

Not saying he was my friend because he was older and popular, etc., but I did know him.

He was executed there in Texas.

Rumor has it that he was rail-roaded through the judicial system because of a local DA that wanted to cut his teeth on a murder case (I believe the victim was an old woman). In Texas (and especially in my home town), the story sounds somewhat plausible, but I really don't know much about the facts of the case. I just know he is dead and I knew him....really freaks me out sometimes remembering him in his football uniform with his arm around his high-school sweetheart.

You are a really, really good person for doing what you do. Blows me away.

I am against the death penalty across the board....even for *. Besides, I think that the idea of * being forced to work the fry machine at McDonalds is the best punishment I can think of for him. It would be his first manufacturing job!

WTF? ::)

I understand why some are anti-death penalty.  I have my own wavering opinion on the death penalty.

But what I won't understand, is how someone becomes a regular pen pal with various death row inmates.  That's just strange.  Of all the people in the world that you could pen pal with, why the hell would you voluntarily choose them?
