Are you certain of that? I would think he would be put in a
juvenile facility until he is 18, and then transferred to an adult
facility.

Where he'd learn how to be a *real* killer. Where he'd be abused
worse than he was already. Nothing like getting slipped the salami
when you bend over for the soap to rehabilitate ya, right?


Don't even get me started - people have long grown tired of my rants
about how evil it is that people are raped in prison. I once called
in to a radio talk show about rape - they were talking about women
being assaulted - and asked if the expert which there were more of,
rapes of women or, considering prison violence, rapes of men. Got
dismissed as a troll, basically. It really pisses me off when
people (and I'm not referring to you) think it's something to joke
about.

I wasn't joking about it in any way, shape or form. I think he's a
kid and there's enough "evidence" to suggest that the dad, at least,
had it coming - certainly enough to suggest that kid was *severely*
troubled.

I think he should be locked away for several years - in a juvie prison
(after all, his sister didn't do anything to him - she suffered too,
so he needs to pay a price for what he's done, but not in an adult
prison).

I wonder why he killed her? Was he jealous? Was he trying to protect her
in some weird sort of way? Was he trying to protect himself by wiping out
his family? Was it a combination of all reasons? Anyone who suffered the
kind of abuse he did -- and why didn't anyone DO anything?? -- probably
wouldn't know how to understand his own feelings and desires, probably
wouldn't be able to think straight. Heck, most teenagers with decent
childhoods have a hard enough time doing that. I feel bad for him and
actually think his murder of his father shows extraordinary good sense on
his part -- not that it was a good move or a move that would help him, but
it sure made sense.


I don't know if I can explain it or not, but I can sort of understand, maybe
better than some. Marilee was on the side of the parents, against him. She
reported back to the parents on him. Ratted him out, some say for payment.
Some have said 'she made up stuff about him sometimes, to get him in
trouble, or to get payment.' When we, my sister and I, were kids, I always
protected her. She was younger, the baby, needed me to protect her. And I
did. I always put her in closets, stuck her under a bed, stepped in front
of her to take the brunt of things. But when we got to be around the ages
of Cody and Marilee, my sister became much like Marilee. She tattled, made
stuff up, to the old man, and I'd get the beating for it, whether I did it
or not. She used to say "if you don't do such and such, give me such and
such, whatever, I'll tell *daddy* you hit me." And she did it too, a lot.
Until finally one day, it occurred to me I might as well go ahead and hit
her, cause she's gonna *say* I did anyway. I remember one day, her
starting in on that again. "I'm gonna tell daddy you hit me" so I hauled
off and punched her a good one. She didn't pull that particular one too
much after that. But she still got me in trouble all the time. I was
supposed to watch the kid after school. I'd tell her she couldn't go
somewhere. She'd ignore me and go anyway. Then when the old man got home,
and she wasn't there, I'd get the beating for not watching her. If I
forcibly *made her* stay home, then I'd get beaten for physically keeping
her there. We sort of went our separate ways for many years because of all
the 'game playing' that went on. All the manipulations. She became
*daddy's little sweetheart* and I was the black sheep. So maybe the
dynamics between Cody and his sister was somewhat similar?



If he's sentenced to time in an adult prison, I think you
can pretty much write the kid off - I readonce where statistics said
that recividism was higher in kids sentenced to adult vs juvie. He'd
esp have to learn harsher survival skills and that would warp him the
rest of the way.

One thing I'm curious about - if it was that evident that abuse was
going on (people thinking the daughter was being sexually abused), why
did it end this way? Why didn't someone report the guy??

I would love to know. Maybe Sam Donaldson can do a show about it.


Old man Posey was the bossman on the ranch. The ranch hands didn't go
against him. Slim, the ranch hand that has talked a bit, said 'he wishes he
had tried to do more, reported it, etc.' He seems truly remorseful. As
for others, these people were pretty much isolated out there on thousands of
acres. No neighbors to see what's going on. Marilee's biological father
said 'had he suspected/known Posey was sexually abusing his daughter, he'd
have killed him himself.' But he claims he didn't suspect it until going
through her clothes after she was dead.

Oh, and the thought of someone like S Petersen getting a little action
up the hershey highway doesn't bother me at all.

Just MHO
