The Reid Scale: Classic Unsolved Murder Cases

[sdreid]

Maybe the Sullivan sample is already compromised though.

[sdreid]

I guess we need a closely monitored independent tie breaker in the Strangler Case.

[sdreid]

And the results each side wanted by the at the time.

[sdreid]

It bothers me a bit that two DNA tests that supposedly came from the same source had opposite results.

[sdreid]

Probably from a 4 to a 3 at the moment.

[sdreid]

It looks like the status of the Boston Strangler might change in the near future, if it hasn't already.

[sdreid]

The only other case on that list I remember in real time is Zodiac.

More examples:

0-William Cook
1-William Heirens
2-Adelaide Bartlett
3-Robison Family Massacre
4-Zodiac
5-Cabin 28 Massacre

The William Cook murder spree from 1950/51 is the first case I can remember when it was ongoing and in the news.

I think Beaman is mainly seeking monetary compensation for his ~15 years in prison so they aren't exactly punitive damages.

Recent DNA tests from the crime scene yielded two profiles, neither of whom was Beaman.

Lockmiller's mother has said from the beginning that she thought Beaman was innocent.

In the last few weeks, Beaman was certified as innocent by a judge.

As I recall, the trial to have Dr. Sam Sheppard declared innocent was a civil proceeding. It failed.

I saw the verdict on TV, live I think.

[Cogidubnus]

You'll have to spell it out, because I still don't get it.

I still await an explanation.

Hi Rivkah...yes ma'am!

Apologies for not replying before - have only just come across the thread again.

Politicians are guilty as sin and constantly labour under a cloud...and yet even for the worst of them a time comes round when they find an opportunity to openly declare their innocence...that time is called...an election...

Clearly it wasn't THAT much of a funny even before I had to explain it...Think I'll stick with the day job!

All the best

You did, but clearly not across the board.

[Bridewell]

I was attempting a "funny" Rivkah...clearly I did not succeed...

All the best
