Escapees in Texas back in Custody

02-07-2002, 10:05 AM

Some idiots escaped from prison on January 28th. They're back in custody now. From MSNBC:

<i>Gambill, 23, of Terral, and Bagwell, 24, of Waurika, were convicted in the 1996 slaying of Heather Rose Rich, a 16-year-old cheerleader from Waurika. Each had been sentenced to life in prison and had recently been returned to Montague for further proceedings.

Gambill, Bagwell and the victim’s former boyfriend said they feared Rich would accuse them of rape after a night of drinking and sex.

They took Rich, who had passed out, to a remote creek bridge in Montague County and shot her repeatedly in the head and back. Her body was found a week later.</i>

People amaze me. Assuming that they *didn't* rape her, and their story is true - wow. I wonder if they had any basis for it, or if they just got paranoid? Like "Oh shit, she might accuse us of rape. We'd better kill her." Like they weren't going to get caught. Fear of being caught for one crime causes two people to commit a greater (in the eyes of the law) crime for which (why don't people understand this yet?) they <b>will get caught</b> (and did). Now they're spending the rest of their life in prison.

People amaze me.
