My god she's such a fucking Dodo.

The murders could have been avoided. All the cops had to do was do their damn job. They were called by the bank after the mom told the teller what was going on.

I've always thought that too. Didn't a massive amount of time pass between the time they left the bank & the time the fire was started? I'll have to go back & check but I do know they sat outside twiddling their thumbs for what seemed like forever. I'm sure they have a good excuse though.

It was an hour they had...yet they waited.

[Lady Cop]

slarglock, see post directly above yours and PM i sent you.


as for the time police were outside house...this has been addressed earlier in detail in this thread during the hayes trial.

the police thought they had a hostage situation and followed correct protocol in hopes of negotiating for release of hostages.

Dr. Petit understood that perfectly.

I admit it, I am here so that I can look at pictures from the Petit murder trial. A very, very bad book was written about it, called "In The Middle of the Night." The author plainly hoped that he could somehow be joined in people's minds with Truman Capote, author of the classic "In Cold Blood." Missed by 1,000 light years.

You can't blame anyone for the evil that those two have done, the police are not the evil ones.....

i don't believe this serial-killer wannabe psycho.


NEW HAVEN, Conn. – A Connecticut man convicted in a deadly home invasion bragged in a letter from death row that he has killed 17 people and collected victims' sneakers as trophies, and he also disparaged his accomplice as "not even worthy" of being his partner in crime, according to a newspaper report.

The New Haven Register reported Sunday that it had acquired a letter that Steven Hayes allegedly wrote from prison, where he has been sentenced to death for the 2007 Cheshire home invasion that killed a mother and her two daughters.

Hayes' convicted accomplice, Joshua Komisarjevsky, had attempted to have Hayes' letters introduced into evidence as part of his defense case after they were confiscated by prison authorities. A judge rejected the request, calling the letters' claims uncorroborated, vague and unreliable.

The letters have not been publicly released, and the Register did not specify in its report how it obtained access to the letter it attributes to Hayes.

Hayes and Komisarjevsky have been convicted of murder, sexual assault and other offenses in the July 2007 deaths of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters, 17-year-old Hayley and 11-year-old Michaela. They also were convicted of assault and other crimes against Dr. William Petit, the lone survivor.

The sentencing phase of Komisarjevsky's trial starts Tuesday. Prosecutors are asking a jury to impose capital punishment in his case, too.

Connecticut officials confiscated four handwritten letters allegedly written by Hayes to a North Carolina recipient identified only as "Lynn." In the letters, he claimed he had killed 17 people, committed numerous sexual assaults of drugged victims in motels, taped 16 hours of one kidnapping and assault, and kept a collection of some victims' sneakers as trophies.

Hayes' sneaker fetish came out during his trial. Komisarjevsky's attorneys say an unspecified number of women's sneakers were seized from his house and that 17-year-old Hayley Petit's sneakers were found in the vehicle Hayes used during the home invasion.

State's Attorney Michael Dearington and an FBI spokesman have declined to say whether Hayes' purported crimes are being investigated or whether authorities are aware of 17 unsolved homicides matching details in his letters.

Hayes and Komisarjevsky blamed each other during their trials for escalating the violence that left the Petit women dead.

The letter attributed to Hayes and quoted by the Register says he thought Komisarjevsky "was someone who could embrace and had the capacity for evil as I possess," but that Hayes was disappointed in him and would have killed him after the Cheshire crimes if they had gotten away.

Komisarjevsky had "the proper evil intent (but) lacked in the most serious aspects, commitment and control," Hayes' purported letter says.

It also asks the recipient to hold on to the details of the letters until after Hayes' execution because, the letter says, the information "could be worth millions to the right people."

NEW HAVEN —The penalty phase in the trial of Joshua Komisarjevsky, convicted in the murders of a Cheshire mother and her two daughters, got underway in Superior Court this morning.

Komisarjevsky, 31, of Cheshire, was convicted earlier this month on all 17 counts — including six capital felonies — in the home-invasion slayings of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters, Hayley and Michaela.

The same jury that convicted him will decide whether he should be put to death or sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole.

I've been hot LC with my predictions. As vile as this scumbag is, they'll give him Life Without Parole. Take it to the bank (do they post odds on these things?).

[Lady Cop]

holy shit! prosecution side was brief and some reporter just said that the defense may take 4 weeks to present their arguments against death! if they do that they will lose and infuriate that jury! i can't believe it!!

I do appreciate it when reality hits these 'scum of the earth' pieces of shit, that they are going to DIE for their crimes.

Suddenly, they're nothing more than cowering little bitches, begging for their lives.

That complete piece of shit in California who murdered the two teenage girls, and the little Mexican fucker who murdered Dru Sjodein in northern Minnesota 8 years ago.

What happened to their macho personas as they're having their way with helpless girls/women?

Too bad the 'menagerie' in Ohio is gone. Just throw 'em all in there, and let the Bengal Tigers have their way.

I loved it when Jack Hanna said last week that having Bengal Tigers on the loose in rural Ohio 'wouldn't have been pretty'.

[flcraxr]

This crime is so disturbing and now to have the perp's sister speaking up for him even after being abused by him is sick. I could hardly bear to hear Dr. Petit when he was on TV recently reliving his nightmare, now to hear that this scumbag pervert say he doesn't think Dr. P did enough to save his family is too much

Sister: Killer in Connecticut Home Invasion Abused Me
October 31, 2011 | AP

The sister of a man convicted of killing a woman and her two daughters in a gruesome home invasion told a jury Monday he sexually abused her as a child for years, but she said he wasn't a violent person and wouldn't intentionally kill.

Joshua Komisarjevsky's sister testified in the sentencing phase in New Haven Superior Court.
{SNIP}
His sister's name is being withheld by The Associated Press, which generally doesn't identify victims of sexual crimes.

She said the abuse began when she was about 7 and happened "quite often" before it ended when she was 9 or 10. She said her brother admitted to the abuse, which didn't involve sexual intercourse.

She disclosed the abuse when her brother was about 12, saying she broke down crying and blurted it out while at summer camp. She said her brother grew more distant and rebellious and was angry at the world.

The defense says Komisarjevsky's religious family didn't get him the proper psychological treatment. His attorneys say he was sexually abused by a foster teen the family took into their home and later as a teen by someone else. Prosecutors say those claims come from Komisarjevsky and emerged years later when he faced prison time for 19 nighttime residential burglaries.

"I know Josh is not a violent person in nature," she said. "I know Josh would not intentionally decide he is going to kill. I know he would not intentionally harm or decide to kill the Petit family."

A prosecutor asked her if sexual abuse was violence. She called it an act of control.

She began to cry as she said her brother feels a lot of sorrow, self-hatred and anger at himself for the killings. But she said her brother doesn't like Dr. William Petit, the sole survivor whom Komisarjevsky beat with a baseball bat. "He doesn't believe Dr. Petit did much to help his family out," she said.

Under cross-examination, prosecutors brought up Komisarjevsky's claim that he had not tied up Petit in the basement. But his sister acknowledged that she saw rope in the photos and that he was tied to a pole.
{SNIP}
...she suspected he was visiting hundreds of pornographic adult websites days before the crime. About five days before the crime, she said she saw him on the computer at around 2 a.m. with an angry look on his face.

Jude Komisarjevsky said her son's electronic monitoring bracelet was removed days before the crime. She said he immediately started staying out late at night and complained about a lack of money even though he had no bills to pay because he was living with her and her husband.

She said her son left the house late the night of the crime and she feared he was up to no good because he was wearing a hooded sweatshirt he used in the past to commit burglaries. When she heard a family had died in a fire nearby, she feared her son could have been involved

I thought the post got lost so I ended up with a double post, so sorry

[Lady Cop]

It could be any happy American family, but behind that young boy's smiling face is the heart and mind of a cold blooded killer.

The pictures show the Komisarjevsky family, including son Joshua as a child. RIGHT. COMPARE WITH THE PETIT FAMILY PHOTOS.

Though the revelations of his sister in court Tuesday show that Komisarjevsky had a troubling youth as well, sexually assaulting his sister for years while they were children.

His sister appeared in court on her brother's behalf- in spite of his aggressive actions towards her- in an effort to dissuade the jury from sentencing him to death.

She testified that her parents did not get counseling outside of church after he sexually abused her because they feared the state could break up the family.

The sister said her parents worried she or her brother could be removed from the home. Her testimony came in the sentencing phase of the trial of Joshua Komisarjevsky, who was convicted of killing Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters in their Cheshire home in 2007. He faces life in prison or the death penalty.

Church "counseling".....that worked out really well.
