Man Burns Woman Alive in Elevator, Caught on Film
 
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/18/ny...-elevator.html

Quote:

But in the beginning, it seemed routine: a man dressed as an exterminator, wearing gloves, with a protective mask perched atop his head and carrying a container on his back, takes the elevator to the fifth floor.

Sometime later, an older woman carrying groceries took the same ride to the fifth floor.

Two cameras recording from different positions, one inside the small tiled elevator and another in a hallway, show the doors open and the man with the container approach. The man, who appeared to be in his 40s, first sprays the woman in the face, then douses her methodically from head to toe with what a city official said was an accelerant as she turned and cowered, raising her hands, the grocery bags hanging from her wrists.

Having cornered the woman in the elevator, the man struggles to light a barbecue lighter. He then ignites a Molotov cocktail — a wine or Champagne bottle filled with accelerant with a rag stuffed in its neck. He retreats and comes back again, spraying more liquid on his victim. And suddenly the silent video goes white with a conflagration in the small space: the woman, on fire.

Investigators are poring over the footage, a disturbing silent film capturing what is perhaps a singular act of violence: a woman being burned alive.

The crime took place Saturday afternoon at 203 Underhill Avenue in Prospect Heights. Detectives and fire marshals were reviewing the footage and interviewing neighbors.

As of Saturday evening, there had been no arrests, but investigators were already following a major lead: the man appeared to have been burned on his face and hands. Investigators immediately began looking for him at local hospitals.

The Police Department released photographs of the suspect, taken from the video, late Saturday night.

Firefighters and the police arrived about 4 p.m. after callers to 911 reported fire and smoke in the building, unaware of what had happened in the elevator.

A resident of the fifth floor, John, 29, who would not give his last name, said he had heard screaming and saw smoke coming from the elevator. “I thought it was kids because the screaming was high-pitched,” he said. “I looked out the door and saw smoke coming out of the elevator.”

While officials did not release the woman’s name on Saturday night, neighbors said they believed she was Delores Gillespie, though they were unclear as to the exact spelling of her first name. Ms. Gillespie was a postal worker, one neighbor said.

Residents were evacuated from the building after the fire. Hours later, some, like Maria Daley, wept while sitting on a city bus that had been provided for the displaced tenants. “She was my friend,” Ms. Daley said. “I just spoke to her yesterday.”

Another neighbor, Heidi Matthews, 46, said Ms. Gillespie had given her a plant on Mother’s Day. “It’s hard to believe somebody would do that to her,” she said.

“We all loved her,” Ms. Matthews said. “She was a part of this neighborhood for years.”

Tim Stelloh contributed reporting.

So your psyche coorelates neanderthal with one who sadistically and mercilessly lights helpless little old ladies on fire for their personal pleasure. Interesting. :hmmm:

Don't worry, what will be even worse is if they catch the guy he will deemed insane and not fit to stand trial.

Well, if I had my way I would give him his trial, then his appeal, then take him into the bathroom at the courthouse and put a bullet in his head and be done with it. There is no point in keeping someone like this alive.

No chance. The guy sprayed her in the face, had a lighter, and a bottle of alcohol with a rag stuffed in it. Premeditated murder. Even a reerun wouldn't get out of that.

You haven't paid much attention to our legal system as of late I take it? I hope you're right but the sad part is that we have this sick habit of making a victim out of the criminal.

You should learn how the justice system works. It's one thing to believe someone did something. It's another thing to prove they did it beyond a reasonable doubt.

I'm not saying these people didn't do it. But neither OJ or Anthony had their murder caught on ****ing tape.

In OJ's and Anthony's case both were unable to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. This guy has his murder on tape.

Can you even plead insane in a premeditated murder case?

Even if you can its going to be near impossible to prove he was insane since he escaped by using the stairs. He clearly knew what he was doing.

Imon Yourside 12-18-2011 02:06 AM

The legal definition of insanity is "the inability to distinguish right from wrong."

This guy escaped by using a secondary route. It's going to be near impossible to prove that he didn't know what he was doing was wrong.

FAX 12-18-2011 02:23 AM

Can an animal be insane? Because, this thing is not a human being. Not even close.

It makes you wonder if there should be a special kind of court for things of this nature. To give an animal like this a "trial" seems like a mockery of a legal system. You don't give a rabid dog a trial. Instead of being judged by peers, you could just have 12 people take turns cutting off one of his appendages until its time for lunch.

Oh ... and the insanity defense is successful in about 25% of the cases in which it's used. That's not a bad success rate when you consider the kinds of crimes involved.

That's actually only one of several possible tests, the "right or wrong" thing, I mean.

Besides, one can be lucid and still have a severe mental defect. There are several Planeteers, in fact, who demonstrate that ability.

i think what he meant was

you can be convicted of something, even if you arent caught on camera doing it. because other evidence that may exist can prove that you were the only one capable of doing it.

indeed the OJ and Anthony cases were far from the norm and are highlighted because in many other instances, these people would have been sent to prison.

would you agree?
