I know a lot of people on this board come from different backgrounds. My question is; Has anyone had a close friend or realative convicted of Murder 1?

Can't say that I have.

Everything okay, Hyper?

No close friends or relatives but I am from New Jersey.
Odd question.......everything ok?

Nothing has happened to me. Dont worry.

Cool.

This is almost as interesting as Blake's Subway thread, and not quite as relevant!

Time Flew.......!!!!!!!!!

Yes, close friend and former business partner. He got hung up on a stupid deal, couldn't get over it and killed someone over it. Just plain dumb. Now in jail for life with no parol. DA went for death but penalty phase of trial was hung jury. Later found out he was paranoid schitso (sp?) and wasn't taking meds. Had a bad PD too so that didn't help. He was a bad ass dude too, was Michigan state toughman contest winner. Now lives in a 8X10 concrete room 23 hours a day. Not good.

I have convicted a few of murder, criminal sexual assault, etc. No death penalty sentences though. I have a relative who tried to kill his wife and a friend doing a life sentence at Leavenworth and a childhood friend doing a life sentence in Florida.
