The TrackBack specification was created by Six Apart, who first implemented it in their Movable Type blogging software in August…

She refused the few attempts her siblings and children made to see her when she was transferred to Alderson, WV.

Her brothers don’t want anyone to know they are related to her and her children won’t even speak her name.

Squeaky Fromme has no sense of self or identity. She will be what anyone wants her to be or whoever was the last person she spoke with. In other words, she “rents” a personality and identity.

I have known Sara Jane Moore (Sally, as she likes to be called) for 30 years. She wrote to me from San Diego being evaluated by psychiatrists. I was working for the LA Times and I wrote a story about Sybl Brand jail.

That meeting evolved into a 30 year correspondence punctuated by visits and phone calls. I had no intention of every writing about her, but in 2004 she decided to have me write her story. After less than a month of research and digging up some amazing stuff she didn’t want anyone to know, she stopped all contact.

I wrote the book anyway and it will be released next week. But, what I really wanted to do was set the record straight about lots of misinformation.

She had not been arrested before she shot at Ford. She was questioned, after she performed a covert operation with the ATF. She assisted them in finding a gun runner.

The SFPD confiscated her .44, the gun she had been using. On her way to the hotel, she bought a gun from a former policeman, and he sold it because the site was off. Sara Jane had been in the military and she was a southern girl. Meaning southern girls use guns. She was an expert marksman.

Sipple did grab her arm, after she got off her first shot. She missed Ford’s head by six inches. It was the second attempt he foiled, thankfully.

You can check all of this information in public court documents. The government did not want the public to know in what real danger Ford had been in. I know this because I interview Richard Vitamanti, the lead FBI investigator for this case.

Just before leaving office in January, Ryan granted clemency to every inmate on Illinois’ death row before he left office in January.

I understand what you are saying Melissa. The above two paragraphs were what struck me as the real reason he did that. The 13 that were wrongly conviced are another issue but he did use them as the reason for doing it.

Would be assassin, John Hinckley, who tried to kill president Reagan a quarter a century ago has been petitioning the court for his release from the hospital stating that he is no longer a danger/threat to society and that he no longer has mental problems. Hinckley gets unsupervised visits to his parents home every so often. He could be released at some point.

Today Texas just freed a man who was wrongly convicted 27 years ago. Fortunately he wasnt on death row. There have been 30 people in Texas who have been found innocent since 2001.

And I agree with Rae on the NJ issue as well. We dont kill them here anyway, so its really a waste of money to keep them on it with all the appeals and whatnot. As for the ones who are DEFINITELY guilty, and have been proven so (DNA, eyewitnesses, physical proof). Men like Jesse Timmendequas, well he is going to be in G-Pop now. Unprotected.
