I would condemn anyone who commits such crimes. It isdreadfully upsetting and I am very, very, sorry.Pearce had difficulties with his mother, said Mrs Radford, and when his ex-wife became seriously ill, he had not been able to cope. 'He does have a great deal of difficulty in coming to terms with people who are ill,' said Mrs Radford. He had also misunderstood his own diagnosis and had understood that he had only two years to live. Charities working with the victims of strokes were sceptical of the claims that a stroke could produce such a radical change. 'We are very dubious of people claiming personality derangement,' said Donal O'Kelly of Different Strokes. When I was a young officer in the 1990s, we were chasing a suspect on foot and by car in the northern part of Oakland. It was early in the morning. maybe eight-thirty or so on a week day. Because of the time, our helicopter was not flying. After a couple of hours of yard searches, he was finally arrested. My dad is an attorney and had two clients: one who had an old huge Chevy Nova with a very well hidden switch under the dash. He would flip the switch to make the brake lights go off, then go in front of someone and hit the brakes. They won several claims from insurance companies.

Postoffense, he would talk to people about the incidents, even people directly involved in the poisonings, such as police officers and supermarket clerks. He would probably revisit the stores where he planted the tainted bottles, and would also inject himself into the investigation, volunteering for helping police and participating to the victims' funerals and vigils. This type of offender would feel remorseful if faced with the consequences his actions had on the people he depersonalized. However, she possessed immense charm and made people feel they wanted to help her. One day, as she was telling the Gray’s Inn librarian that she had not been successful in finding a pupillage, she was overheard by the great criminal advocate of his day, CGL Du Cann, father of Richard and Edward, who took her on. Later she joined the set of Edward Cussen, then senior Treasury counsel at the Old Bailey.

With the threat of bio-transmission in shops, petrol stations and convenience stores, retail staff may feel added protection from plexiglass screens that have been put in place in the last few weeks, acting like an oversized sneeze guard.

Judge Warby said Wright's actions were "repulsive" and involved sending "bloodcurdling" letters and added that rather than plead guilty he had put forward an "absurd and untenable" defence which fell apart under scrutiny. What he wanted was the completion of the grand plan,' she said. 'The object of the exercise was some form of mental stimulation.' It happened, I was convicted, I have served my time and paidmy dues. I want to carry on with an ordinary life."

Antisocial weaponry

Cooper was profiled by FBI experts as a white male in his late twenties to mid thirties, who would be a depressed loner driven by rage, being convinced that society wronged him. His life would be marked by behavioral problems, psychiatric treatment, and repeated failures concerning either education, profession, or relationship with women. Also, he would feel inadequate, which could stem from a physical disability. He would gravitate towards positions of authority, but would have trouble keeping his job. He would drive a large car to compensate for his feelings of inferiority. He committed this crime as the result of a stressor he recently suffered. Whitchelo added: "I am trying to lead an honest life. I havemy own computer firm and I'm trying to avoid any publicity." The threats were taken so seriously by Tesco that the company manufactured 100,000 special reward cards to be used in cash machines. This time was when she got the closest to being caught, a customer was trying to make a return for something she bought, but it wasn’t on her receipt. There were several items at the top of her receipt that she didn’t buy. The best thing was when they caught him since he acted like a madman, they had to send him to an asylum. But there, he acted ‘normal,’ so he just left. Once they had papers to get him out of there and take him to jail, the guy ate the papers and they just let him go.”
