      Of course they sent a killer cop to one of the nicest prisons. But looking at the prison, it’s just called the country club/garden prison because it has a variety of rehabilitation and treatment programs. We need more prisons like it.

    I knew this case sounded familiar. He was on TV a few days later (face scratches and all) giving tips on how female drivers should defend themselves.

      I think it was an episode of Forensic Files where I first saw this case, and I recall that interview/PSA being pretty creepy and brazen.
