Poll: Neil Entwistle Trial
Neil Entwistle is currently on trial for the murder of his wife and daughter.
I first wrote about Neil Entwistle back in February of 2006 here.
Penny Boudreau Arrested
/in murder/by Eyes for LiesThanks for all of my readers who have alerted me to the news that Penny Boudreau has been arrested in connection with her daughter’s murder. You can read the news here.
I wrote that I didn’t trust Penny Boudreau back in February of this year shortly after her daughter disappeared. You can read my original thoughts here.
I think Penny will likely confess to her involvement.
“I stabbed and intentionally killed my wife.”
/in murder/by Eyes for LiesThis morning Matthew Gretz admitted to killing his wife, Kira Simonian. You can read the latest news here.
I originally wrote about Gretz on Friday, July 27, 2007 after I saw him speak at Simonian’s vigil. His behavior didn’t sit right even though he didn’t tell a lie in the one video I had of him.
It was just last week when I looked at the case to see when it was going to trial that I realized why. Besides Gretz’ odd word choices, he was acting extremely paranoid. That paranoia was a big red flag that I don’t believe I was able to verbalize before, but was a big clue to why I didn’t trust him. It took a long time for that to percolate in my brain. I originally called it fear in my first post, but it wasn’t fear. It was paranoia.
My heart goes out to Kira’s family. I hope that they find some resolve in knowing the truth as painful as it is. At least they won’t have to go through a trial, and listen to his ridiculous denials anymore.
Hans Reiser Found Guilty
/in murder/by Eyes for LiesI am not surprised by the news that is out today that Hans Reiser was found guilty of murder last night. I was a little surprised they came back with first degree murder.
I was really surprised by the people who voted at Wired.com, who thought that the prosecution didn’t prove the case. I have some astute readers: You guys saw it pretty clear. Eight-eight percent of you thought he was guilty, too, after seeing what came out in the trial.
Knowing people, I think Reiser’s contempt in court really hurt him with the jury. He clearly showed them he was unable to contain himself, and follow rules–which doesn’t bode well for a murder trial. I think he may have made it easier for the jury to come back with first degree murder.
In the end, while Nina will never be able to live out her life, I think justice was served in this case.
Here is my original opinion of Hans Reiser back on November 7, 2007 when all I had to go by on Hans Reiser were a few small video clips.
