Greenville Oddities

[Galley]

When an eyewitness said that the car was six feet off the ground, I assumed he was exaggerating. The car cleared a standard-height privacy fence before entering the house.

Slow developing charges don't necessarily mean a cover-up. Sometimes it means they will be harsh and really want to be sure the charges stick.

I think the key point is kudos to WYFF for keeping this story going and doing excellent investigative journalism on it.

[Greenville]

WYFF has another story today. Apparently protesters have shown up at the courthouse with signs as regards Ludwig. More than 1,000 people have now signed up for the Facebook page. This is growing quick.

Nancy Grace definitely has a large personality.

While I want to see justice done in the Ludwig case, I'd hate to see the national media create a circus around it.

You don't want Nancy Grace involved then. She is the national version of Heidi Aiken.

[Greenville]

I find it quite funny that Heidi Aiken's name shows up under a thread titled "Greenville Oddities".

WYFF is reporting that Ludwig has been charged with murder

I'm no attorney, but this seems wrong. This is as good as letting him walk free. A charge or murder will never stick, he'll be cleared of that charge as he has the money for a good attorney, and at the end of the trial, he'll walk away free. Shouldn't the charge have been manslaughter????

I must say, though, the article makes my blood boil. What a pompous *ss his dad must be. This quote by his dad:

"The charge is ridiculous

[gs3]

Based on some other conversations I've seen on other sites around this, it likely has to do with the reckless endangerment part of the statute allowing for the charge of murder. As they say on the Internet IANAL (I am not a lawyer), so that's solely based on other people making comments on other sites.

[silverseale]

I just always thought murder had to be premeditated.

The media attention this have received makes me wonder how they can find an unbiased jury, locally. Would this go to trial in another city possibly?

[gs3]

I think it depends on the degree. I think a 2nd degree murder charge, for example, generally covers "crimes of passion."

Thanks.

FYI....Ludwig is out on bond as of today. Article from GV News:

I enjoyed this portion of the write up:

Ludwig was called back into court this afternoon. Circuit Judge Eugene Griffith said Ludwig was trying to alter his bond and that the action was "almost a thumb in my eye" and a disrespect to the court system."

This fiasco has all the makings of one of those two-hour "Dateline NBC" events.

This one is cracking me up! A man tried to order at a Jack in the Box drive-through window on a riding lawn mower. He was later arrested for a DUI while "driving" the lawn mower!
