Heard about this a long ass time ago. They were talking about reopening the case even back then. Doesn't look good for Jimbo. Dude was a monster when younger. Islanders probably have the best genetics of all humans, beastly mesomorphic bastards. Plenty have never touched a barbell in their lives. It's like they were born with 19" arms with delts and traps like the (bleep) Himalayas.

| I just can't imagine what kind of monster you'd have to be to take a loved one, beat them until they're unconscious, and then kill them by jumping off the top rope and landing on them. |

That's a helluva long time even by the standard of other decades-long cold case breaks. That's even 2-3 yrs longer than Natalie Wood had been dead when they reopened her case a few years back and the natural reaction to that news was "snowball's chance", not that it wasn't accidental in the first place, but... In some respects 30+ years becomes an adversary to a manslaughter or homicide charge/conviction, but in other ways, cold cases have been invigorated by the tech advancement in science and/or forensic science.
EGs: Some stories I remember seeing to show how these things happen: in the 70s, there was a landmark FBI case in laser and infrared fingerprint technology where a Nazi collaborator got deported from the US after they were finally able to ID his print on a postcard he sent to Himmler in the 40s. The Germans lent it to the FBI to analyze, but without damaging it as a historical document. Another one was about a forensic pathologist who injected his wife with an anesthetic that he knew wouldn't show up on a routine postmortem tox screening. Because the pathologist who did the autopsy knew something was suspect, he saved some of her tissue for over 10 yrs in formaldehyde. Sure enough, the technology got more and more sensitive until the guy was caught in the big lie. I can't recall the program, one of those 48 Hours type shows, but I remember they showed the footage of the respected doctor getting his Murder 1 charge with his upgraded younger wife freaking at the verdict.

Was it the Forensic Files? I swear they have those re-runs on loop on the HLN network (like Castle on TNT or Law and Order before it). Sadly I've seen the vast majority of the episodes. |

Probably, JB. I've been suckered into more of those than I'd care to know. I began to sound like McConaughey in True Detective after awhile.
