The Trial Begins

So, today Jet Duncan appeared with his 'team' of public defenders in an Idaho courtroom and his public defenders told the judge that Duncan will 'stand silent' in response to the charges that he murdered and tortured children and their parents because his sexual desires are more important than the lives he has ended.

Stand silent.

According to the news here in Spokane, Washington (20 miles from Idaho), standing silent is the same as a guilty plea. Duncan just doesn't have to say 'guilty'.

I have great faith in the Idaho folks, so will trust them to deal with this perversion of a human being and the six counts of capital murder with which they have charged him, any one of which will result in the death penalty when he is convicted. Perhaps Idaho will consider reinstating old-fashioned hanging for Jet Duncan.

Reading the thorough work from Capt. Fantastic in The Cellar and following the links to the pictures of Duncan posing in drag, well, I've got to think that he plans on having fun in prison since the pictures appear to be directed at men who are without women. Let's hope the Powers-That-Be don't allow Duncan these outlets for his maniacal sexuality.

There is dread regarding this trial, knowing that Shasta Groene and her family, and we, as her community of 'family' will have to relive the gory realities of Duncan's acts. My God, the imagination is surely enough...and we are all victims of Joseph Duncan.

Jesus weeps.

You might have meant to say, Duncan did not have to say the words "not guilty." In Idaho, standing silent is the equivalent of entering no plea at all, and causes the judge to enter a "not guilty" plea on the defendant's behalf.

Tuesday night from Jennifer S
Hi! I'm reading your FancyRage blog and I agree with your criticism of
the "stand silent" pose put up by that Duncan fellow. Being silent
seems to suggest he hold the whole trial process as contemptible, or
implying distain. I'm sure the more he says, the more his "motives" will
be revealed and any self-justification will damn him more surely.
