Thanks for good quality uploads, sufficient resolution and not cropped or framed with something to trick what ever content detection youtube uses. This is nice to watch.
At 13:10 "she was tired of living always on cash" WHAT??? EXCUSE ME??? I have heard stupid reasons to complain about your spouse, but that one goes right to the top of the list! Give me that problem any day!
+Alejandro G Like Tony Soprano's wife Carmela she was worried about their future. She wanted the money turned into something for their future security.
I think her comment was taken out of context. My understanding is that she was saying that she was tired of his illegal activity that required them to live on a cash system. That is why she went to the tax attorney. She longed for legitimacy. It wasnt really about being tired of always living on a cash basis. She was fed up with being married to a crook and wanted out of the marriage with as much cash as possible, since he had introduced her to a certain lifestyle.
DarkStarAZ That would be a good guess, but no, not really. It's just because I've seen tons of these same kinds of documentaries and the killer is usually the spouse, significant other, or their own child... Not ALL of the time, of course.. but most of the time. It gets predictable after a while! lol
+MICOLE WHYTE That's gonna be a lonely existence, Friend. A broken heart can cloud our judgement just as much as "blind" love does...BOTH can make us say and do things for which we usually regret later on in life. (I'm not saying that's YOUR story...but ALL of us have a "story") We shouldn't deprive ourselves of a happy, and peaceful lifelong companionship simply because of distrust and the misdeeds of others who may have hurt us in the past. That's like drinking poison, and then waiting for our ENEMY to drop dead.
Good for that author refusing to testify. I don't see how they got to try him twice. That's wrong. They persecuted him because they lost the first case. That's legal persecution. He may have murdered her, but the jury determined that he didn't. It's prosecutorial misconduct to double dip, in my opinion.
And an utterly ignorant opinion at that. Imagine if Dorothy was your sister, your mom... And imagine your neighbor who killed your mom walks around free. Next time you offer an opinion, use your head... That reporter, by the way, is as stupid as you are...
The SOB, Robert Angleton, was released from prison on January 27, 2012. Could not find any further information on whether he will be retried in federal court.
+Mene Tekel I watched one the other day and the guy got away with not only murder, but murder for hire. And here I always thought Texas jurors were tough and smart, but apparently they are as easily bamboozled as So Cal juror and Florida jurors.
When a country like Holland refused to extradite a murderer I think the U.S. government out to make it known they will not extradite any murderer who goes there. Let Holland be populated by murders from the U.S.
Doris was horrible. Ditch first husband to 'trade-up' to a wealthier man. Then bored with him starts an affair. I guess promises meant nothing to this woman....just words to get what you want. She was also scheming to divorce with a tax attorney to maximise her own position. Robert Angleton was a vile and selfish man - much worse than his wife. A well matched couple.
+Al Gilmore It's never as simple or as black and white as that. The days where women, or men, were forced to stay in unhappy marriages have gone. If you are not happy you are not use to your partner, yourself or your kids.
Al Gilmore Two marriages and a number of relationships. But that has nothing to do with what I see here. No man has ever financially supported me and I walked away with nothing but the clothes I stood up and - and supported my kids alone with no help from any of their sperm donors.
Was the judge who gave him bail, allowed him to flee to Amsterdam, thereby skirting the murder charges, placing bets with him? It s like he got legal advice FROM the judge.
That's a damn good point I hadn't even thought of and so far no other comments have mentioned it, either. When I first saw FBI girl early in the video I was like, 'Oh, good they must have investigated the police, too...' ~ nah, nothing was mentioned of that. This guy literally got away with murder....unless they finally went after him after 2014. I also wonder why they didn't use fact that Roger would have had to know the family's schedule to commit this crime ~ where could he possibly get that information if not from Bob? And was that a part of the prosecution's strategy to make a point of that.
"Homicides are not supposed to happen in River Oak." I could be ill for every time I heard a comment such as this. So small, affluent USA is somehow immune to violent crime? Sorry folks, it happens anywhere and everywhere. Stop being smug.
How the hell can the damned Dutch government dictate how American fugitives can be charged? That's out-fucking-rageous. At the end of the show Doris's brother said that Angleton has to live with what he's done. He shouldn't kid himself. I guarantee you he hasn't given it a second thought. If he were capable of feeling remorse, he couldn't have planned and helped to commit murder. He played the system just as he's played the system all his adult life. When you consider that he's made his living by breaking the law, it's not such a stretch for him to get involved with murder for whatever reason. She got in the way by threatening to jeopardize his illegal activities so she had to go. He got away with murder. He couldn't care less.
I hope these 'twins' finally wake up or they are going to follow right into their father's damn foot steps and think it is ok to lie & cheat. How could they turn on their own mother? I realize they are young though and I just hope they wake up. Their Uncle will be a better friend to them than their father could ever be. I wonder why the prosecution didn't use fact that Roger would have had to know the family's schedule to commit this crime ~ where could he possibly get that information if not from Bob? And was that a part of the prosecution's strategy to make a point of it? I really hate juries that don't see through the thick of things. They don't realize that circumstantial evidence is indeed still evidence~just of a different nature. But the Casey Anthony case has us all knowing that juries can be way too lenient with their own mental guidance of what is most probable and too small brained to realize real life is not all CSI ~ the show that has done more damage to our understanding of the judicial system than any other show of fiction.
It's maddening to see a man get away with murdering his wife, and I think it just came down to the prosecution not proving it's case, not that they didn't think he'd done it. What I am just as disgusted with is the fact that they can turn around and try someone for a crime he's already been acquitted of, just because they say that this time it's federal - last time it was state. What the fuck good is double jeopardy if they can just try you federally for the same crime? All these supposed rights and freedoms people think they have don't mean shit. If they want you bad enough they'll find a way to get you. Constitutions - and/or Bills of Rights - are just chicken scratch on paper, and they don't have any real power at all. It's about time people understood this.
Well you might feel differently if you were scammed by someone, let's say, and your state couldn't prosecute your offender, but the Feds could if the scam occurred across state lines. There is a reason why there are Federal Laws and why they are more stringent than states. And it is usually for any victim's protection.
Govinda GovindaJi What happens when someone innocent turns out being the victim of this loop-hole? I would rather see a thousand guilty walk free than see a single innocent person falsely convicted because the federal gov't had a bug up its ass about that innocent person they were certain was guilty turned out getting acquitted in the state court. America has a bad enough record when it comes to false convictions as it is. Double jeopardy was designed and passed into law for a good reason. NO - I wouldn't feel any differently if even I was the victim of the crime in question. You can't pick and choose when civil rights work for you and when they work against you - or you perceive that they have worked against you.
Ok, however I was referring to how "crossing state lines in commencement of crime" becomes easier to detect & therefore prosecute. Evidence rules are more stringent. as well - it takes more evidence to even prosecute. I think we all hate it when any prosecutor has ' a bug up its arse' and falsely identifies anyone, though. There are crooks in every system known to humankind.
Govinda GovindaJi "There are crooks in every system known to humankind." And that's part of the reason that Double Jeopardy was made law. If they thought they would have a better case against him federally then they should have prosecuted him federally the first time. I don't care how you dress it up. Double Jeopardy was simply circumvented here on a handy (for the state) little loop-hole.
The first eight amendments of the constitution only apply to the Federal government. The Double Jeopardy clause is part of the fifth amendment therefore only means that the Federal government cannot try anyone twice for the same offence. Its the principle of Dual Sovereignty between States and National government in the US.
So I guess 'Double Jeopardy' doesn't apply when they change the wording of the charges from 'Murder' to 'Conspiracy to Commit Murder'and they go from a State Court to a Federal Court? But the Racketeering charge (RICO) was a good move, after all that's how they nailed Al Capone. I would have liked to see this dirt bag spend a minimum of 50 years behind bars (bury his ass in the prison yard) though.
Here's a guy who cares more about the life of his dog than the life of his wife! I'm not sure what the Dutch logic was if he can be retried on murder charges AFTER his sentence.
What man sends his wife back to their house to get a " lucky " bat ? that is more like an excuse for a set up. It turned out to be a hit....surprise ? not really. Lots of drama there and all so obvious, to many. Amazing the girls always stuck by their dad.....ah.....
What a joke. Once again, another country attempts to strong arm the big bad USA by denying extradition unless THEIR terms and view of the law are met. In the end, he can still be prosecuted after his release.
