Grave Spitting

[DanaeChantel]

Thanks. I thought it was probably something like that. I heard it was a little girl and when she became an old lady, she told the tale to others, or something to that effect.

Quick and probably correct answer,

I am sure this has probably been covered on other threads, however I could not find them if they were.

I heard or read somewhere that Joseph Barnett spit on MJK's grave. Supposedly a little girl and her friend were in the cemetary and the little girl saw this and told someone. Any truth to this?

Is no. The reason I say that is that there is absolutely no evidence that this did happen. Apparently this started when an old lady was talking about her mother who had gone to the funeral and her friend told her that she knew someone who said that........................anyway you get the idea.

I have heard this before, and with an anecdote like this no one will ever know if it's true, but even if it is we shouldn't jump to conclusions over it. It could have meant different things. For instance, Joe would have been in a highly emotional state at that time and anger is one of the early stages of the grieving process, as in "How could you leave me?!" or in Joe's case perhaps, "I told you I didn't want you walking the streets and now look what happened!" If he spit on her grave it doesn't have to mean that he didn't love her or that it was he that killed her.
