3 can keep a secret if two are dead

very interesting case, I wanted to kill a rapist once back in 1978 - but i chickened out, he ended up murdered anyhow a few yrs later ( hardly surprising) who ever did him in I never heard - and I doubt it was investigated much.

Sounds like she was bothered by it but she agreed to testify against the other people for a reduced sentence.  That kind of sucks.

Co-defendants Van, 45, and Shannon Ray Gries, 43, are charged with felony murder in the commission of a kidnapping. They are expected to go on trial next year.

A third suspect, Diane Tran, 45, of Costa Mesa, pleaded guilty this year to voluntary manslaughter and is expected to be sentenced to four years in prison, prosecutors said.

Tran's husband, Kody Tran, who was also a suspect in the case, shot himself during a standoff with police.
Looks like 3 other people involved and one additional man dead.

How many folks does it take to kill one guy?

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

I always feel days lighter and pounds younger after a #2.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Ba-loney she didn't know what was going to happen to the guy she pointed out.

I can respect revenge, but she has crapped all over those who enabled her to get her revenge.  So no cookie for her.

How many folks does it take to kill one guy?

For sure.  Did she also put an ad in the personals:
"Wanted: One Tool of My Vengeance.  Must be willing to murder in cold blood and then shut up about it.  No smokers."

That or 420 friendly.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

That was kind of my thought.  I have a feeling the evidence against her or them is very scanty and they had no case without her testimony.

They already had a confession and guilty plea in the bag from one member of the brain trust.

Note to self: if I ever decide to commit a felony, it's better to avoid involving accomplices.

Fixed it for you.

Problem is, even without accomplices most folks cannot stop themselves from talking about what they did.  In order to protect yourself, whether you have done anything or not, please follow the advice of your teeshirt and STFU.

Also, remember that according to SCOTUS you now must say out loud you are exercising your right to STFU.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.
