Honest Man: The Life of R. Budd Dwyer

Interessant hoe we bij bepaalde onderwerpen komen.
R.Budd Dwyer heb ik eerder als voorbeeld van 'echt-op-TV-dood-met-gunshot'
gepost.
Ik heb wat meer over Mr.Dwyer uitgezocht.
Wat 'n fascineerde (echte) inzicht over politiek
shenannigans/intrigue/corruptie/leugens/betrayal verhaal!

Openhartige interviews met ouwe collegas,familie,vrienden.
Ik zie echt emotie en niet de nepheid dat we zien in recente stomme,'schokkende'
gebeurtenissen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Budd_Dwyer

Note to the more sensitive souls amongst us - er zijn geen (echt) schokkende
beelden.

"The prosecution's primary witness, William T. Smith, whose testimony was largely used to obtain Dwyer's conviction, later admitted in an interview shown in Honest Man: The Life of R. Budd Dwyer that he had lied under oath about Dwyer taking the bribe in order to receive a reduced sentence."

Dit vond ik 'n mooie gemaakt docu.
Geen gedramatiseerde,'gebaseerd op 'n waar verhaal', sensationalistische bullshit dat we zo vaak en teveel zien. Het lijkt me 'n echte verhaal over 'n goede man.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - November 8, 2012 --
A central Pennsylvania attorney has been ordered to spend more than two
years in prison for setting fire to a guest house on his property to
cover up the fact that he was stealing money from clients.

Prosecutors said Wednesday 75-year-old William Trickett Smith Sr. will
begin serving his sentence later this month on charges of arson,
insurance fraud and evidence tampering.

Smith pleaded guilty last week. Dauphin County prosecutors tell The
Patriot-News they Smith acknowledged setting the 2007 fire at his
Swatara Township property because of the theft investigation.

Smith has already finished a jail term for the theft case. He previously
spent time in prison for a bid-rigging scandal tied to former state
treasurer Budd Dwyer.

Smith's son is behind bars for killing his wife in Peru.

R.Budd Dwyer z'n laatste woorden:

I thank the Good Lord for giving me 47 years of exciting challenges, stimulating experiences, many happy occasions, and, most of all, the finest wife and children any man could ever desire.

Now my life has changed for no apparent reason. People who call and write are exasperated and feel helpless. They know I'm innocent and want to help. But in this nation, the world's greatest democracy, there is nothing they can do to prevent me from being punished for a crime they know I did not commit. Some who have called have said that I am a modern-day Job.

Judge Muir is also noted for his medieval sentences. I face a maximum sentence of 55 years in prison and a $300,000 fine for being innocent. Judge Muir has already told the press that he, quote, 'felt invigorated' when we were found guilty, and that he plans to imprison me as a deterrent to other public officials. But it wouldn't be a deterrent because every public official who knows me knows that I am innocent; it wouldn't be a legitimate punishment because I've done nothing wrong. Since I'm a victim of political persecution, my prison would simply be an American gulag.

I ask those that believe in me to continue to extend friendship and prayer to my family, to work untiringly for the creation of a true justice system here in the United States, and to press on with the efforts to vindicate me, so that my family and their future families are not tainted by this injustice that has been perpetrated on me.

We were confident that right and truth would prevail, and I would be acquitted and we would devote the rest of our lives working to create a justice system here in the United States. The guilty verdict has strengthened that resolve. But as we've discussed our plans to expose the warts of our legal system, people have said, 'Why bother, no one cares.' 'You'll look foolish.' '60 Minutes, 20/20, the ACLU, Jack Anderson, and others have been publicizing cases like yours for years and it doesn't bother anyone.'

Bedankt voor dit topic, ik ken die man niet, ga zo even de docu bekijken. Offtopic trolololo verwijderd.

Graag gedaan. De docu is echt indrukwekkend en very moving....de interviews tonen echte grief en niet sanitised,cheesy acteerwerk.
De vid van z'n dood is horrific maar is 'n voorbeeld van 'n echte schokkende gebeurtenis.

Jammer dat je de trolposts heeft weggehaald - twas 'n goeie voorbeeld van de ignorance van sommige users hier.

Zeker een interessant verhaal, maar veel nieuws zie ik er niet in. Ook is bekent dat dit soort dingen gebeuren in amerika, tijden veranderen maar niet de streken.
Grappig is wel dat in deze wikiverwijzing duidelijk wordt waarom je bepaalde beelden niet te zien krijgt omdat ze zo schokkend ervaren kunnen worden. Net als bij het tunesie topic waar zijn de lijken verhaal.

Ik snap niet precies wat je bedoel.
_{Als je over de beach attack verhaal wil hebben, misschien kan je 'n voorbeeld van maar een overtuigende held/overlevenden posten in de beach attack topic. Volgens MSM waren er 1200 mensen aanwezig.}
