Within about seven months of Larry being placed in a maximum-security prison, the LAPD paid him a visit. Highly charged case. Some people are just monsters. Keep in mind that 34 hairs are in custody of the state police, so where are the other 4 hairs? I accept there are a couple of remarks which can be seen that way but they are in direct response to those whove been offensive in the first place. And James Pfeiffer and Jim Burke have remained on her side. Pat is locked in a cage because shes an animal. So lets get going on the recap of the Forensic Files episode A Woman Scorned, along with extra information drawn from internet research: Joann Marie OConnor was born on Oct. 11, 1968, the youngest of Sarah and David OConnors four children. Murder in Lehigh Valley: Keith Morrison Reports is also available on YouTube, but it costs $1.99 to view (Keith comes off as an advocate for Patricias innocence on the episode). No other suspect has existed that would have a motive to kill Joann. I happen to be one of those deluded people youre so freely attempting to insult. She was wrongfully convicted..

In April 2019, 69-year-old Patricia was found guilty of second-degree murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. She hadn't lived long enough.". Prosecution leader McIntyre, when interviewed, laughingly dismissed him as a nut in an effort to trivialise Traupmans input. From my point of view this is an extremely similar case, with less class and style, and without the luxurious details that Interpols case had, such as the involvement of an extremely expensive Alfa Romeo car, and a revolver bought at a lush auction in Paris, which had belonged to a duke before the incident. According to the autopsy report, Patricias husband, Jerome Scott, had only a few months to live because of a health problem involving a bloodless liver and pancreatic fibrosis. If that really is the case, the husbands alibi for a date months before becomes irrelevant. According to court documents, Yassein and Islam Said had been communicating with Yaser Said since Jan. 1, 2008, to help him evade capture. If I rolled my eyes any harder they might fall out. The state police dropped him as a suspect. She wanted all men to give her attention but she couldnt have everyones attention, especially ANDREWS!!! Why would it be an irony for a person to express his opinion? In April 1995, the family buried Joann and Alex in a single bronze casket after a funeral mass at a Bethlehem church. A lot of these documentaries feature most of the theories suggested by the cops and prosecution which were most damaging to her case, but not a single person to substantiate Rorrers side, or to challenge their versions. Then 31 years old, she had lived a rocky existence. Emailus. That documentary points out that, despite the bodies of the two victims supposedly being exposed for several months, their condition remained relatively undisturbed by weather or animal activity. WebPatricia Lynne Rorrer made for a good suspect. However, that first theory very neatly allows the cops to further theorise that the gun she once owned (which had a history of jamming after the first shot) was the one used at the murder.

It was her father, Yaser Said who committed the crime of killing his two innocent teen daughters. Yassein Saids sentencing has been set for June 4. Roughly nine months ago, Interpol contacted the police department that kept her file open. The first rule of a murder is motive. Women murder for all kinds of reasons, but the simple facts come down to this.there was physical evidence, the bullet wound matched that of the gun Pat owned, the hairs were Pats and at both scenes, and she had no alibi and she had lied to try and come up with one.and lets not forget the damning words she spoke to her 18 month old daughter that the officer had the common sense to document. And NOBODY saw her at all? Maybe then you will see the wrongful conviction! They noted houses near the murder scene would have heard a gunshot in December, when no farm equipment is making noise, and question why the murderer didnt just kill Joann inside her house instead of risking being seen in public in her car. Its patently clear you are another of those who knows too little about this case. Not sure why anyone is defending her. Ms. I very much doubt you are. There are a number of issues in the case, Kelley said in a letter to his associate, Christopher Darden, including the competency of counsel, prosecutorial misconduct and, of course, compelling legal error by the court..

Browns action to grant clemency was rescinded after discovering that Patricia Wright had two prior felonies from when her son stole two 99-cent toys and a hand towel from an open house 15 years earlier. He says he "feared for his life" and left the girls in the cab alive as he ran away. Interesting points thanks for writing in (and, yikes, those poor deer that starve to death). If you subscribe to Hulu and upgrade to Starz (theres a free one-week trial offer), you can stream the Wrong Man episodes about Patricia Rorrer. simply to create an atmosphere of hatred towards a person who, in all probability, has been wrongfully imprisoned. And about the only thing from your comment with which I can agree, is you saying thats not proof theyre right in reference to their verdict. Im dying. You are not expressing an opinion but making an assertion or claim of fact: [I] have absolutely no doubt she was railroaded and wrongfully convicted. You are claiming innocence as fact there is no doubt shes innocent. These two offenses were classified as felonies when they should have been only misdemeanors, since the property stolen was valued under $400. I mean the husband did do some shady things maybe he was involved? We didnt expect it. Another witness, Walter Traupman, who never testified, had told state troopers that on the day of Joanns disappearance, he saw a couple who looked like Joann and Andrew arguing about the paternity of a baby. As for an epilogue on ex-flame Andrew Katrinak, he has moved to Colorado and kept a low profile since the trial ended. Unbloody vehicle. I agree. Tommy Lynn Sells admitted to killing a 9-10 old boy in Indiana I think and the mom Julie (cant remember her last name) was jailed mainly due to the ex-husband (father of her son) testified and said things that werent true. Still, no good leads materialized. In fact it clearly shows how short you are on all the details surrounding this case.

This article seems to have a great many errors and omissions, more by design, I fancy, than a need to tell the story objectively. Its barely visible in the picture. I finally had to stop reading this stupid article. What did the ME report as to the age of the baby? And she will have to answer eventually. Read the crime and public safety news your neighbors are talking about. I would like to tell you that there is many errors in this article, that I would love to send to you the proof of each one. Probably by the jeans and the boots. Andy did end up moving to Colorado with her and the last time I checked, they were still together. They had a son, Alex Martin, in August of 1994. But investigators conceded they had no solid evidence against Andrew. It seems so, according to you. Patricia was relieved when police took him for custody after 12 years of her daughter's murder. Am I supposed to believe that she was still so enraged a week later, that she drove almost 10 hours, in a conspicuous van with a bad U-joint, to kill this woman and her baby? Meticulous primping.
