Utopia Talk / Politics / You Decide: Should He or Shouldn't He

Hot Rod Member	Tue Jan 04 07:05:48 New York Murderer to Inherit Victim's Fortune Published January 03, 2011 FoxNews.com Read more: http://www...-fortune-victim/#ixzz1A4Vz5ulZ A convicted killer in New York is set to inherit a quarter-million dollars upon his release -- from his victim. Brandon Palladino, 24, admitted to killing his 59-year-old mother-in-law Dianne Edwards in 2008, after she caught him trying to steal jewelry from her Long Island home, the New York Post reported. He was sentenced to 25 years in jail, minus time served, in a plea deal. Edwards' only daughter, Deanna Palladino, 23, inherited all of her mother's worldly possessions -- worth roughly $431,000 -- but after using roughly $190,000 of her mother's money on her husband's defense, Deanna died in February, leaving everything to Brandon, the Post reported. "It's an outrage. He can't have that money -- it's just not right. It's ludicrous," Donna Larsen, Edward's sister, told the New York Post. Larsen, who says Deanna was involved in the deadly robbery and attempted to cover it up, told the Post she believes her niece purposely overdosed on drugs out of guilt. Larsen said she plans to ask Suffolk Supreme Court Justice Robert Doyle to force Palladino to give up Edwards' remaining legacy -- roughly $241,000, or lose his plea-bargain deal.

earthpig GTFO HOer	Tue Jan 04 13:26:22 Fuck no he shouldn't get it.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Jan 04 13:35:32 the password is... no at least the blood-sucking lawyers drained half of it without even having to go to trial
Aeros Member	Tue Jan 04 13:59:36 Doesn't murder carry a maximum 250,000 dollar fine anyway?
ehcks Member	Tue Jan 04 14:01:30 It's not his victim's fortune. It's his ex-wife's fortune, and she left it to him when she died. So... yes.
Dakyron Member	Tue Jan 04 14:02:20 Yes. He should get it. Legally there is no reason he should not. It sucks, but blame the justice system for not sending him to prison for life.
Rugian Member	Tue Jan 04 14:04:16 "Deanna Palladino, 23...died in February," That's slightly unusual.
Rugian Member	Tue Jan 04 14:05:41 Oh, lol...should have read further down.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Jan 04 14:07:19 i considered 'should' as a moral question rather than legal so no, he shouldn't get it yes, he probably will get it
Hot Hypocrite Member	Tue Jan 04 14:07:31 You People *Probably* think he should get, a medal for Honorable Conduct. Tell me something, why do You Liberals always side with Evil? What part of *Probably* did you Not Get? -30- Now go away Sonny, you Bother me Why don't you get in the barrel With Andy -!-
Dakyron Member	Tue Jan 04 15:13:21 Besides, he wont get the money, about $200,000, for another 20 years. Do the math. Even TC could $10,000 a year. He is losing money on the deal.
Rugian Member	Tue Jan 04 15:23:50 Yeah, if he's in prison for 20 years and assuming a 3% rate of inflation, he's effectively lost over a hundred grand by the time he gets the money.
Rugian Member	Tue Jan 04 15:24:36 And $137k/20 years = a TC four digit salary.
milton bradley Member	Tue Jan 04 15:25:26 This could be that opportunity to strike it rich that TC has been looking for.
Camaban The Overseer	Tue Jan 04 16:43:15 I was under the impression that there were laws specifically against profiting from a crime you committed. And if so, I'd have been amazed if that didn't cover inheritances. (IE: You murder the person, you lose the inheritance) That might just be here though.
Dakyron Member	Tue Jan 04 16:57:31 Cam - read the article. Its because the dead person's inheritance went to someone else, who then died leaving all the money to this guy. There was no direct inheritance, as that wouldnt be legal.
ehcks Member	Tue Jan 04 18:08:47 His victim's inheritor was her daughter, who was the killer's wife. She spent much of it in court costs to defend him, but then she died and left it to him. Nothing illegal.. just weird.
ehcks Member	Tue Jan 04 18:09:12 I mean, illegal about the inheritances. :-\
Renzo Marquez Member	Tue Jan 04 18:15:09 Yes, he should get it. The rule of law is the rule of law.
river of blood Member	Tue Jan 04 19:10:42 "Besides, he wont get the money, about $200,000, for another 20 years." Which by then it will be worth about $1.53 cents. The bottom line is this: The old cow chose to leave her money to a daughter that was errant enough to marry someone who would rob and kill her. To fucking bad; she should have had more sense.
garyd Member	Wed Jan 05 00:03:54 Blame the Justice system for not executing the murdering bastard.
garyd Member	Wed Jan 05 00:04:33 There is also a law on the books that says you cannot benefit from your crimes...
chen Member	Wed Jan 05 00:25:40 He's not benefitting though. He's serving his time and then inheriting from his wife. If it was a direct inheritence from the dead mother you might have a case. The way that the money has changed hands you would be setting a weird legal precedent to allow the government to audit all sorts of inheritences.
Arab Member	Wed Jan 05 01:51:44 The money should be packed tightly into a box, and then the box should be dropped on him - continually, until he dies an agonising death.
jergul Member	Wed Jan 05 02:59:11 Civil Suit is of course the solution. But the money does not belong to the murder victim. It was transferred to her daughter according to inheritance laws and the victim's wishes. The money now belonging to the husband of the now deceased daughter. Pretty straighforward.
KreeL Member	Wed Jan 05 03:56:36 Hell yeah! Give him the friggin money already!
Paramount Member	Wed Jan 05 08:30:16 "The money should be packed tightly into a box, and then the box should be dropped on him - continually, until he dies an agonising death." Or, they could just send all the money to me. I'm just a poor Swede who had grand parents who suffered during the World War 2.
