Convicted murder wanted to go to peaceful Death Row

Isn’t it odd and perhaps ironic how convicted murderer Paul John Fitzpatrick said about Death row last March when he was before a judge in Largo, Florida.

He said Death row “is the calmest place I’ve ever been in”.

He was hoping to avoid a mere life sentence, which would place him in the general prison population. “I probably found the most peace I’ve ever had in my whole life (in his previous experience) on death row,” he said. “It’s just a lot easier doing time with murderers than it is with fools.”

The ironic part? The judge gave him life.

Man with Mannequin fetish

A Detroit Michigan man, who admitted to a sexual fetish for female shaped mannequins was sentenced to more than a year in prison after repeatedly breaking into storefront windows.

Ronald Dotson, 39, was sentenced to 18 months to 30 years on charges of breaking and entering, and being a habitual criminal.

He was arrested in October after police spotted him near a smashed storefront window in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak. The storefront window contained a mannequin dressed in a french maid outfit.

His arrest came less than a week after he had been paroled for his sixth break and entering conviction in 13 years.

In some of the previous cases mannequins were involved. Apparently police once found him in an alley behind a womans clothing store with three mannequins dressed in lingerie.

“I’ve never been able to take care of myself,” Dotson told Judge Denise Langford Morris at sentencing.

Morris acknowledged that Dotson had never assaulted a person but said his behavior “strikes fear in the community.”

Judge needs glasses

Here’s some interesting judgments for you:

1. In October, a judge of Scotland’s Greencock Sheriff Court dismissed the traffic charges against Hui Yu, a college student from Beijing, because he disregarded two police officers’ identification of Hui. As he made his decision the judge said = “ All Chinese people can look the same to a native Scot. It’s only when you have time to look that you begin to see the differences.”

Maybe they look the same to him, but he’s basically calling the police officers stupid and possibly stereotyping Chinese people by saying they all look a like. Time for this judge to open his own eyes.

2. Guy Fournier, The chairman of the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., resigned in September after giving an interview to a French magazine in which he expounded on, as The Associated Press put it, “the joys of bowel movements.”
