IF Nancy told the doctor she thought her husband was poisoning her, then why didnt he call the police and test her for it? BUT if it werent for those supporters (who were correct), would some of those whose convictions were overturned have remained convicts and perhaps have been executed? Ive had some people drop me hints/clues. Funny how people can put all their energy and concern into the guilty and never show any real concern for the true victims. Richard Lyon pleaded not guilty at his 1991 murder trial. Ironically, the fact that she felt sick probably made her less likely to have the get-up-and-go to move out.

If a third-party, how were they accessing her victuals to administer low-dose poison over weeks? If the hospital did, I believe they are legally required to notify the police: they cannot avoid this if they may be the origin of the poisoning. Do you know how to spot a liar with a business proposal? Ah yes, the little known accidental death by ingesting capsules filled with rat poison, then moving onto arsenic in nightcaps and pop (based on Nancys own words regarding poison in her drinks) when the rat poison didnt work out, THEN followed up by a forged receipt found by Richard to cover up the accidental poisoning, making it look like Nancy ordered the poison, along with other forged documents (something that always happens in accidental poisonings oh, wait, no, it doesnt).

This scenario was found less likely than that she was poisoned which is reasonable and with which I agree. I imagine the prisons low-medium security. And RR you do an amazing job on this website/blog. And nothing like seeing an Ivy Leaguer brought down by his own stupidity. They even put a picture of an owl on an FBIs most wanted poster.

I feel he is smart enough to find bored and lonely sycophants to engage in defending him when even FIVE legal services that offer assistance to unjustly convicted prisoners have declined to take on his case. Richard is emblematic of weasels everywhere, producing fake documents and trying to put his crime off on other people. No fingerprints. Richard made that up in the diary remember???? The assignments things a non-event: plenty of college kids cheat. Plenty of husbands cheat via affairs. Or even a cop! Death bed declarations are not considered hearsay. And she told at least two people (doctors) that Richard was trying to kill her. The inheriting of considerable wealth (presumably) has been a perfectly sufficient motive for numerous others murderers and while its no proof in itself, what makes it unlikely in his case in the absence of stronger contenders AND with other suspicious circumstances AND with a wife he evidently cared little for given his affair? Youre crazy (or stupid) if you believe that. My belief is that she committed suicide and framed her husband so he wouldnt be able to get custody of their children. Thank you for your testimony!

The quantum of circumstantial evidence is persuasive, but youre implying that such evidence is of less value than physical evidence. She still lives in Texas but married someone else. Thats the problem Perhaps youre implying that too many Americans are stupid, so unfit to serve. A jury convicted him of first-degree murder, and Lyon began a life sentence at the W.F. Surely if the hospital was connected with institutional accidental or deliberate poisonings, this would have been reported in the media? youre insane, just like him. Must make time go by quicker than it normally would behind bars. Correction: FROM THE TRIAL TRANSCRIPTS: There is no PHYSICAL evidence that directly links Richard to sneaking poison into his wifes beverages. Curious as to how Richard explains (or explained) the baggie of empty capsules in his apartment? That alone says it all and yes read about many times. She was hard-working and practical. Ridiculous: its hardly racist to suggest that mere suggesting cultural ignorance is racist, nor that that may be because the ignorance is a function of another race or nationality, as was argued.

I wondered, instead, what twisted passion had carried him through the months of premeditation, through the hours of her retching at home, through the days of her decline and death. He has something to work towards, something to aspire to, something to live for, plus think of all the attention he gets (the FRL writer here must have nothing but time on her hands to dedicate herself to this project with such prolific efforts).

Never loved her. Why no outrage over what Bill Jr. did and what state would ever hand over two young girls to such a man?

Whether it was deliberate, and by whom, is a matter for the police and prosecuting authority, so why would the hospital be involved in litigation (unless you imply that the hospital was medically incompetent and you wished to sue it)? Of course, it is a shame that most criminals do not make a complete video of all of their activities and instead try to cover up their crimes. It isnt absurd about the arsenic poisoning. Toxic husband. My state is only slightly better. The owl + drugs & wine + Kathleens panic may very well be the cause of her death.

We know that juries get it wrong perhaps theres a figure for what proportion of convictions have subsequently been proved unfounded but because of the high threshold of certitude to convict, more are likely wrong in acquitting than convicting (which is as it should be). This action would have never occurred without the intervention of, at least, one United States Senator and a retired Texas representative, to move the complaint from the bumbling Texas State Securities Boards Enforcement Director, Joe Rotunda.
