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.


Bo Raxo

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

You're kidding. There was a ranch hand named Slim? How Of Mice and Men --
and Slim symbolized God in that book.

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.
