Talk:Bonnie Garland murder case

message: Is it right to say that Bonnie Garland was 'murdered' even though Herrin was only convicted of manslaughter and found not guilty of murder? 
:Yes, I think so. The prima facie evidence would strongly suggest a murder was committed and that is what the Police investigators appear to have found and what the perpetrator was initially charged with. What was finally determined in Court depends on the facts of the case and mitigating circumstances, such as "temporary" insanity or diminished responsibility, as well as plea bargaining, etc. But that is also why the article title is a .... murder case rather than a murder of .... article. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 10:46, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Murder?

message: The article needs to be rewritten to remove the POV bias in such sentences as The relegation of the victim to the background and the protective shield thrown up by a supposedly moral community around an unrepentant killer has become a more familiar theme in contemporary jurisprudence, but the Garland case foreshadowed others in which the victim was transparently put on trial.

replies: text: Well, of course it should remain as it is: the complaint about neutrality came from someone clearly unfamiliar with the case. (That was months ago, of course, so perhaps someone should remove the notice...not me, since I wrote the thing.)  I suppose I was handicapped by actually having read the books on the case. - Nunh-huh 00:41, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

The article should be kept so that everyone can see how biased the jurors were in this case. They say money talks.... and this case just backs up that statement in every possible way. How can the jury not realize that this man is a murderer. He killed Bonnie and he was NOT insane. This was not a case of 2nd degree murder but rather a case or pre-meditated FIRST DEGREE MURDER. Richard Herrin searched the house for something to hurt Bonnie with and he had every intention of killing her. He's a psychopath. He got the hammer, wrapped it in a towel, left it outside her bedroom door while he went inside to make sure she was still asleep. When he verified that she was still asleep he went back in and smashed her head in with the hammer. How is that not pre-meditated murder???

message: The following, added by anon 68.111.9.7, seems to address a straw man, and seems based on personal analysis. If references could be found that someone of significance has alleged that Herrin was released "early", it could be condensed and added back to address that (attributed) concern. - Nunh-huh 02:49, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
