How Not to Avoid a Murder Charge
In March 1859, the coroner’s jury indicted Jacob Harden for the murder of his wife, but he was still at large. A month later there was still no sign of Hardin until the editor of the Warren Journal received a subscription request that caught his attention. A man named James Austin in Fairmount, a small village near Wheeling in what was then western Virginia, requested a subscription to the paper as he was “… very anxious to learn whether Jacob S. Harden had been indicted for the murder of his wife at the approaching term of court.” The editor was immediately suspicious and sent a copy of Harden’s photograph, along with a copy of the governor’s proclamation offering $500 for his arrest to the police in Wheeling. Before long Jacob Harden was in custody and on his way back to New Jersey.One wonders if Harden was subconsciously asking to be found. You can read the case of the pastor who murdered his wife at Murder by Gaslight.
Iowa mom jailed after leaving kids for European jaunt
Erin Lee Macke, 30, traveled from Johnston, Iowa, a suburb of Des Moines, to Germany on Sept. 20 without arranging child care for her children, two aged 12 and the others 6 and 7, Johnson police said. The children also had access to a gun in the house.
“The police have seen times when people have left their children to go somewhere, but to go to another country is completely different,” said Janet Wilwerding, a spokeswoman for the city of 22,000.
The news attracted headlines in England, where the Daily Mail newspaper called Macke “America’s worst mom,” as well as comments on Macke’s Facebook page.
Police on Sept. 21 discovered the children at the house, notified child protective services and then called Macke in Germany, ordering her to return. She had planned to return on Sunday.
Wisconsin teen in Slenderman stabbing case agrees to plead guilty
Morgan Geyser’s official plea hearing is scheduled for Oct. 5 after an agreement was reached on the charge of attempted first-degree homicide, the documents showed.
Geyser, 15, will not be held criminally liable and instead remain at the state mental hospital where she has been getting treatment for about two years, according to Donna Kuchler, an attorney for Geyser.
The court plans to order further mental health evaluations.
“The results of those evaluations will help determine her placement,” Kuchler said in an email. “She has made incredible strides and is being properly medicated.”
The Waukesha County Circuit Courts jury on Sept. 15 found the other suspect, Anissa Weier, 15, was mentally ill during the May 2014 stabbing and was not responsible for her actions. Weier was sent to a state mental hospital, where she can seek a conditional release in July 2020, local media reported.
Geyser and Weier were charged with attempted first-degree homicide for the attack after a sleepover with their classmate in Waukesha, a Milwaukee suburb. All three girls were 12 at the time.
Weier and Geyser lured the victim into the woods and stabbed her 19 times with a kitchen knife to impress Slenderman, a tall, thin, creepy fictional bogeyman they insisted was real, according to a criminal complaint.
The character originated in 2009 as a meme, or a virally transmitted cultural symbol, in an online forum.
The victim survived the attack.
