I can not believe the story in globe, no I trust them but thought I would share parts of it
1-They think Scott is about to kill himself that he has told psychiatrist that he wants to kill himself
2-That he cries himself to sleep each night " Like a big baby" is their exact words
3-That his parents only put up the reward to try to cheer up their son and to keep him from killing himself.
4- that Lacis family said " if Scott wants to die, then he should do us all a favor and put an end to his miserable existence as soon as possible" exact words in the story
5- His eyes are bloodshot, his skin is pale and pasty and his body is weak and frail. As if anyone new to prison wouldn't have pale skin he doesn't get much sun
When will these people ever stop? seems they are trying to make is sound that hes like this because hes guilty and got caught and that hes givin up hope, because it says he use to hold onto hope that he would win an appeal and be walking free sometime again but hes come to realize that isn't going to happen that hes going to die in prison..
Had I known this story was in this issue I would have never gave them my business of buying this.

I looked through a Globe magazine tonight and didn't see any articles about Scott. Which week was the article in? Was it this week?

Oh well the rag mags always spin a story to the dark side everyone knows it is just to sell trash. Amazing some like trash. Now just who would believe that Scott would let a rag mag come in and interview him so they could she him pale and ect. what a bunch of bull.

hey,
Scott is not going to kill himself over Laci whether he is guilty or innocent He has hope and from experience most prisoners don't give up hope---its one of the only things no one else can take from you or restrict when you can use it. It is one of the only freedoms a prisoner has. Now some prisoners' life behind bars can become so miserable they off themselves--I know several. But they were in population and not so isolated as Scott is on dr.

Welcome don, sounds like you been there done that. Where we can only imagine how bad it is I can guess it is much much worse when one has been sentenced unjustly.

From another board..... "I saw Scott twice in the last few weeks while I was visiting my sweetie. I never spoke with him as I don't know him but he looked well."Puts that rumor to rest  |

I would imagine he is all right. OK, maybe a guard saw him cry, but so what. It is not possible to cry every night--it is human nature to adjust to your circumstances. The anxiety level goes down after a little while. Look, other than the obvious thing, there is not much that can happen to you on dr-and its a lot more peaceful than population. You are fed ok, you sleep, read, write, get some recreation (walk, look around) and maybe later censored tv privileges, don't have to work, never mix with anyone, always alone, and you THINK, hour after hour after hour --that last one is the hard part. Scott has nothing to worry about for awhile.

Welcome Don.... hey we all make mistakes, but the main thing is that we continue to grow and learn from them.
Thanks for giving us some insight. I too think Scott is doing okay. I think he is well under the circumstances...... He has hope. His innocence affords him that edge.

I can not believe the story in globe, no I trust them but thought I would share parts of it... << LINK ... Occasionally, I discovered a few facts that could be transformed into big headlines with the help of phrases like, "cops probe," "sources say," and "investigators' shocking new scenario." I soon realized that the tabloids could write virtually any story they wanted to as long as someone with authority would say it was possible. In fact, when real information was scarce, my editors would often ask me to engage Hunter or Thomas in a conversation just to lure them into saying, "Yeah, you never know, anything's possible, man?' With that, add a pinch and a dash of what Lewis called "Tabloid Magic," and the investigators were considering a shocking new scenario.
Sometimes it wasn't so easy. Occasionally, even Hunter and Thomas didn't want to admit that certain possibilities were within the realm of reality. That's when Lewis turned to his "sources," which consisted of a former prosecutor who loved getting his name in the papers and a former police detective who was sour with his department. For a couple of C-notes a week, both of these characters would allow the Globe to use them as "sources." In other words, the Globe fabricated quotes and scenarios and then got the OK from their "sources," who would concede they were "possible," and boom! The next Globe cover story emerged.
I soon became aware of some of the Globe's other methods of obtaining stories. My own techniques with law enforcement had been to bring them information, unconditionally, with hopes for an occasional reward. Others, however, had no such patience. "Call every one of these numbers and just ask them if they're interested in talking to me," one editor told me as he handed me a list of sheriff's deputies who worked in the Boulder county jail. He was hoping one of them would be willing to give the Globe a heads up as to when the Ramseys would be arrested. "Why would anyone want to risk their job by talking to a tabloid?" I asked. Because I could buy them a brand new Mercedes, responded the editor. On another occasion two Globe reporters went to the home of a handwriting expert in Evergreen, Colo. with $30,000 in cash, in an effort to get a copy of the ransom note the Ramseys had discovered on the morning of the crime. The expert refused and later called the Jefferson county D.A. with a complaint of "commercial bribery."
In fact, the Globe has even been accused of creating stories when it can't find them. In January the National Enquirer published a story alleging that the Globe paid a former flight attendant $250,000 to lure sportscaster Frank Gifford into having sex in a hotel room outfitted with a video camera. The Globe tried to block publication of the story, both denying the charges and arguing that it revealed a "trade secret": how much it pays sources...
...Since the police would need a warrant to obtain such material, I realized that the effect of this maneuver was to violate John Ramsey's Fourth Amendment right protecting him from illegal search and seizure...
Then I called Detective Steve Thomas and asked him why he had never sent anyone to Okemos. "Because that's not where we're looking," he said. Then he added, "Jeff, you shouldn't believe what you read in the tabloids."How many liars could YOU find for $250,000 each? |

There is another Globe Scott story this week. It's about how other prisoners in there want to kill him, just to make a name for themselves. Hopefully he STAYS SAFE in there!
