OK, just to prove that ALL of California is not simply a gene pool incapable of convicting even the most blatant of malefactors, I present for your education beautiful Fresno in the Central Valley. A Republican stronghold. Kids can't read but teaching assistants share pot with the class. Every nationality and religion under the sun. Unregulated and uncontrolled growth with untimed traffic lights. But nevertheless we managed to convict and sentence to death both Carey Stayner and Scott Peterson. Well OK, I admit we had to shop out the actual trials due to the proverbial "unfair local bias" against the accused, but the job got done. And this week we managed to convict (and I hope sentence to the ultimate punishment) one of the most bizarre pedophiles ever seen, somebody who one-ups MJ on every count: Marcus Wesson. MJ is a wimpy amateur compared to this guy. They really know how to do their sin in the Central Valley. Half the registered voters in the county had to be called up for jury duty in order to winnow out those fine people who finally sat for the trial, and they actually succeeded in doing it

So if you think the MJ situation was over the top, read this:

http://www.fresnobee.com/special/200...11549130c.html and http://www.fresnobee.com/special/200...11530722c.html

"Convicted mass murderer Marcus Wesson is a master manipulator who ordered the execution of nine of his children and deserves the death penalty, prosecutor Lisa Gamoian told a Fresno County Superior Court jury this morning.....

Wesson, 58, was convicted last week of nine counts of murder in the slayings of his nine children inside the family's central Fresno home on March 12, 2004. He also was convicted of 14 counts of rape, oral copulation and sexual abuse of a minor involving three of his daughters and four of his nieces.... Calling himself Jesus, Wesson isolated his family from the outside world - home schooling them and forcing them to life in a tent in the Santa Cruz mountains and on a boat moored in Tomales Bay in northern California, Gamoian said.

Wesson exploited his daughters and nieces, forcing them to have sex with him and have his babies, as well ordering them to have sex with each other, Gamoian said.

Wesson also preached a murder-suicide pact until each family member agreed, Gamoian said, and kept his children in terror with doomsday prediction about the second coming of Christ, or the end of the world....

Testimony revealed that Marcus Wesson was the father of the slain children. The mothers included his wife, Elizabeth, daughters Kiani and Sebhrenah, and nieces Rosa and Sofina Solorio and Ruby Ortiz.

The slayings were sparked when Sofina Solorio and Ortiz tried to reclaim their children from Marcus Wesson, testimony in the trial revealed...."

So the moral is that we may not be able to get roads, public facilities, or a meaningful lifestyle going but we definitely have our priorities straight when it comes to convicting and sentencing here in Fresno. Believe it, no lawyer in LA is every going to ask for a change of venue to our part of the land of fruits and nuts

...Or maybe instead it's just that we don't have enough money and fame around here to properly shock and awe a jury into surrender...
