It'll be interesting to see how the story of a real life "Bonnie and Clyde" plays out. Here we have a black man, who was imprisoned, and a white woman, who was free to set up the means necessary for the planned escape of the man, both accused of murder in having executed that plan. It seems that as corrections officers were leading the man, George Hyatte, out of a court house, George suddenly yelled, "Shoot him!" Bullets rang out, killing one of the corrections officers, a Mr. Wayne "Cotton" Morgan. The other corrections officer managed to return fire, injuring the woman who was firing the shots, the prisoner's wife, Jennifer Hyatte. The authorities released these photos of the perpetrators:
The sheriff of Roane County, Tennessee said, "I would recommend death" as the penalty that they should face. I most certainly agree. When I was a child in school, I remember a teacher explaining to the class that the death penalty in my state applied whenever a murder is premeditated and/or whenever a murder takes place during the commission of another crime (in the latter case, suppose an armed robbery is taking place and someone is killed; arguably, they never intended to kill anyone, so there was no plan for a murder, thus this situation requires being addressed separately). In the case of the Hyattes, it certainly appears that both conditions took place, as the shooting was an essential element in George's planned escape.
I hope that Tennessee has a similar application for the death penalty as my state.
But there's something even more sinister about this crime. Not only did they plan a murder, and not only did the murder take place during the execution of another crime, but additionally the crime was not only against the fellow who was killed, but it was also against the state. Even if no one had been killed, we had our system of justice violently attacked and subverted. An attack against our government from the inside is no better than an attack from the outside - by malicious governments or terrorists. I would consider it to be a slap in the face to all Americans if these people receive anything less than the death penalty.
After they were caught, the authorities released these photos of the pair:
So I just click on a news story entitled, Mother says con's wife gullible about men. Oh lord...let the scapegoating begin. I find this lovely statement, made by Jennifer's mother, within its text:
"We realize that what she has allegedly done is terrible, but we feel the horrible man she got involved with is truly to blame for this whole situation. We also feel that he had her brainwashed from the first time they met."
Granted, the mother is probably suffering significant grief over these happenings. And the first response of nearly any mother is going to be to want to protect her child, to solve the problems, and make all of the bad go away. And given what is likely the mother's state of mind, I can't say that I blame her for saying such a thing.
But putting the grief aside for a few moments, consider that statement as (hypothetically) coming from a person who is of sound mind. If such a woman believes such a thing, I can't say that I'd be overwhelmingly surprised to find her raising children who murder. The statement is nothing else but a denial of personal responsibility. And raising a kid to avoid personal responsibility is just about the worst thing that a parent could do. Such avoidance is the primary reason for the evils that happen in this world.
The danger here is that such an argument will be used in court. Here you have a black man with a long rap sheet and a white woman who has no record at all. "He brainwashed her". What a load of crap. And, judging by the types of daytime television shows which become so very successful in America, I can see a jury of 12 nincompacs letting this bimbo off of the hook. Let's hope not.

Posted by: Betty at December 14, 2006 08:44 PMYes but a woman who feels low about herself and the right man comes around to tell her what she has always wanted to hear will brainwash her, he is a conartist. And also think about her children.
Posted by: the one lady at January 9, 2007 09:07 PMAin't no such thing as brainwashing. If she feels low about herself, that'd explain her choice to behave as a fool. She's responsible.

Posted by: hera at October 30, 2007 10:35 AMi really disagree with the death penalty because people who comit crimes would suffer more their lifes in prison then dead the only people who would really suffer is their families and this isn't their fault.

"I was already frustrated with my ill-shaped and overweight body, upon which no diet product agreed to work, but Acai berry diet Oprah actually separated this diet supplement from all the hype. By the end of the show, I was somehow determined to give it a try. For the sake of opposing failure with so many attempts, this one acted as a challenge. At least giving it a try won’t harm me in any way, as the product already claims to contain no side effects. The following day, I ordered the free trial Acai berry colon cleanse capsule. "

Hey everyone I would just like to let the family of Officer Cotton know that we the Correctional family do still think about them and pray for them! And knowing the outcome of the court hearings well we all know they got life, but there is one person on here that says they will suffer more in prison I strongly disagree!!!!
Posted by: Julie at September 24, 2009 07:41 PMWow...even from behind concrete bars, a man can have such a hold on a low self-esteem woman...How did he know he found the right nut...Prayers go out to the correctional officer and his family...
Posted by: Tracie at December 13, 2009 03:51 PMOxygen is airing this story on an episode of Snapped right now, and I have to say - I really do not feel at all sorry for this woman, Jennifer. Once George escaped, I can see how she could claim being afraid, things being without her control, etc. But SHE made the choice to bring guns to the court house, SHE made the choice to shoot. Because of HER choices, Officer Morgan died. Through the whole program, she sat there and whined about how George did this to her, George did that...and maybe he did. But the bottom line remains - SHE made the choice.
Maybe I'm being totally naïve here, but what could George have done to her had she not shown up at the courthouse that day? Not brought firearms? What could he have done had she decided NOT to go through with plans to break him loose?
Take responsibility, Girlie. YOU made the choice to go through with it. YOU shot that officer. YOU.
Posted by: Suzanne at January 28, 2010 02:55 PMWeb hosting is a server for serving and maintaining files for one or more web sites.
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that will help an individual, business, school, government organization and more place their website on the World Wide Web.
Web hosting companies provide space on a server for use by their clients as well as the internet accessibility required to get on the web.
Even more important than the computer space is a safe environment for the files and a fast connection to the Internet.
There are many different types of web hosts, control panels, operating systems, and options.
In addition there are included services such as website builders, search engine marketing, database deployment, and online stores.
So how do you know what to use and who to get it from?
Since they are so many options this can be confusing.
The first thing you need to decide is if you want a Windows web host or a linux web host.
Much of the time it does not matter however if you have specific software to use such as a shopping cart or database application this will be important.
It is best to find out from your software provider the requirements of the program.
Then you will need to decide on if you need a domain name and the amount of space and bandwidth needed.
Many web hosting companies actually give away domain names to new customers so this may help sway your business.
In addition many web hosts also give a huge amount of space and bandwidth in their hosting plans hoping you will not actually need it.
So now that you have decided on the operating system and how much you need now let us look at the options.
A very popular option is the use of a free website builder. This can be important if you have no or little experience with html programming. If you have some experience and use a database you will then need to decide how many databases you require. Some hosts will give you unlimited databases and some charge per database. There are also many other freebies available such as automatic script (software) installation, shopping carts, templates, search engine optimization assistance, unlimited domain hosting and much more. Spam prevention is also an important feature you should expect from your host.
Now that you have found the options you are looking for it is time to look for a host.
Wow! There are so many. A simple search for the term web host will produce thousands of results. So who do you choose?
A web host should always be available in case you need assistance. At the least they should have a help desk and faq area in case you have questions. If possible a phone number is also helpful. They should also provide a fast server so your website is instantly visible and not slow to view. In addition they should provide no or very little downtime. This is when your website is not visible at all. Finally your files should be in a secure environment. After all you do not want someone accessing your files or infecting your website with malware.
To conclude they are many web hosting options and hosts. It is important to do your homework to find the best one for your website.
