Studies show that we are more alert when there are something that can threaten us in our environment, even if it is just a news story. That is why some people took advantage of this and made money.criminal lawyer san diegohttp://sandiego.criminallaw.com/California/San-Diego/DUI-Attorney-Drunk-Drivingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-45155985142161777212012-01-16T00:54:20.434-05:002012-01-16T00:54:20.434-05:00But the guards, monitoring the microphones, read t...But the guards, monitoring the microphones, read the clues too, and ponder...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-67408961698511572572012-01-16T00:06:50.052-05:002012-01-16T00:06:50.052-05:00Marrying two inmates, one with a life sentence . ....Marrying two inmates, one with a life sentence . . . Hmmm. This makes me think. <br /><br />SO, THE PLOT IS: A gun moll, who’s partner was nabbed just after hiding the proceeds of a bank robbery, marries that partner while he’s serving his sentence for the bank they robbed. This gets the couple a chance to talk privately in one of the conjugal visit trailers at the prison. There, they can share information they couldn’t risk letting guards overhear if she and he spoke in the normal visiting center, which is closely monitored. <br /><br />Her partner, however, fearing she’ll take the money and run, waits until they’ve finished the “conjoined” portion of the visit, before he writes one clue on the underside of the bunk. Just then, the guard bangs on the door, making the couple hurriedly dress and depart. Her partner tells her, “You’ll get to see the clue next time you come. There are twenty clues all totaled, that add up to the name of the place where I hid the cash. And I figure 21 spins around the mattress earns you the reward, sweetheart—‘cause you’ll have to come back that 21st time to see the clue I wrote that 20th time. After that, I’ll just have to trust ya’ to leave me my half. Won’t I?”<br /><br />After their 20th spin, however, her beau is shanked and dies. How can she get a look at that final clue? If she marries another inmate, he’ll want some of the cut upon release—else he might turn her in.<br /><br /><i><b>That’s</b></i> why she next marries a lifer at the same prison, in the belief she’ll get to keep the cash, once she’s seen the final clue. But . . . does it work out???

How can I do that when you bring up such gruesome, and, to me, weird thoughts.<br /><br />Murderabilia is not much stranger than some of the other things humans do, but it has its own perversity. <br /><br />My concern is two-fold. First is, as you mentioned, the profit and ego-building aspects. Second, and most important to me, is the disrespect to the victims and the anguish of their loved ones who live everyday with the constant thoughts of, "How much did she suffer? How much fear did she know?" Those worries never go away and to know there are people so warped that they cherish relics of those who take lives sickens me.<br /><br />And yes, I murder people in my books (but not lately.)Fran Rizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655783035179620991noreply@blogger.com
