My first reaction, I’m ashamed to say, was blind panic. That night, and every night for weeks after, I had every light in the apartment on at all times. I didn’t sleep, didn’t eat, and rarely had a rational thought. I had no one I could confide in and I felt extremely alone and terrified. For two weeks, I took vacation and sick time from work as I tried to pull myself back together. I remember sitting up in bed for several nights, all night long, clutching a kitchen knife for protection. It finally occurred to me that if I were to fall asleep, I could seriously injure myself. I think that’s when I started to calm down a bit and begin the long journey of handling this part of my life.
Those two weeks after reading Communion are easily some of the worst times I have endured. To this day, I’m not sure how I got back on my feet and went on with the business of living, but I did. I went back to work, back to a social life, and back to family. I never mentioned it to anyone, although it dominated my thoughts and feelings. I bought other books on the subject, but I was unable to read them. I would get one or two pages in and feel myself beginning to fall apart again. I stacked them up to collect dust and moved on. I had a computer at the time, so I began searching there for information. For some reason, it was easier to digest from that source and I began learning. Each confirmation I found was difficult to accept; I so wanted to be wrong about this.
I came up with wild theories to explain what happened to me. At different times, I decided it was all in my imagination, that it was some kind of ghostly phenomenon, and that I had Spirit Guides. I searched through new age belief systems and more traditional religions. I spoke with people on the internet and tried to make myself believe it wasn’t happening at all. At one point, I decided I had a psychiatric disorder, but then had trouble explaining how it wasn’t affecting other areas of my life. If I was hallucinating, it stood to reason that I would be hallucinating at work and with others around as well. It finally occurred to me that the physical symptoms I was having could not be explained away. What kind of hallucination leaves bruises and puts your clothes on inside out? It may sound odd, but I was very upset when I finally came to this realization. If it had been merely something in my own mind, there was still hope of putting an end to it. Medication, therapy; there was hope of a cure. Not so with abductions. It goes on without your consent for your entire life and there is no control over it. However, the abduction phenomenon remains the only theory that ever encompassed all the symptoms I have experienced throughout my life. The day I accepted this, I felt very alone and afraid.

head hair 33.hea.992 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
Dan Hagood, Toby Shook, and Mike Bosillo made up the prosecution's team, and among their star witnesses were the two patrol officers who had followed their instincts and linked together the prostitutes who'd complained about Albright. The prosecution had a theory that Albright had become enraged after two prostitutes (one of them Pratt) had ripped him off one night. A prostitute who had been with Albright and Susan Peterson, the second victim, testified about how he had picked them up together one night and beaten them severely. In fact, he had handcuffed the witness and beaten her with an electric cord for half an hour. Albright also had enormous gasoline bills, ostensibly from cruising.
On December 7, Special Agent Judd Ray testified about the linkage analysis and the fact that the killer would have been comfortable in, and familiar with, the Oak Cliff area. In many different sources, he is quoted as saying, "What was interesting to us was the method in which these victims, these body parts, were taken. In my professional opinion, it's doubtful that you would have more than one person that deranged living in this city."
Dr. Peacock, who had done the first autopsy, stated how difficult it was to cut the muscles and the optic nerve that connected the eyes to the skull. She described how precise the killer's method had been, adding that he would have to have some skill.
But the prosecution suffered several blows. The yellow raincoat worn by Williams when she'd disappeared had been inadvertently thrown away (though the jury had seen it), Upshaw had changed his story, Albright's neighbors supported the fact that he did not have a car during the time of the murder, and Veronica had decided to testify for the defense. Against her original story, she now said that Albright had never done anything to her, and she could not be shaken from that position. She said that the police had bullied her into saying that her attacker was Albright.
But the heart of the proceedings, and the piece that became highly controversial, rested on testimony by forensic experts. Charlie Linch discussed his analysis of the hair specimens, as detailed in Matthews and Wicker. Among his finds were:
Eight hairs that matched Shirley Williams' hair came from Albright's vacuum cleaner.
Six of Williams' hairs came from the blue blanket found in the Oak Cliff field with the yellow raincoat.
Three pubic hairs from that blanket matched Albright's, and a head hair on the raincoat matched his; his public hair also matched one strand of pubic hair lifted from Williams' neck.
Albright's head hair was found near a wound on Williams' face, another on her back and two on her left hand.
Three head hairs from Susan Peterson were on a blanket in Albright's truck, as were four hairs likely from Pratt.
A squirrel hair was found in the vacuum and on the blanket picked up in the field.
In addition, SpeeDee's hair did not match any of the samples.
But Linch had matched Albright to the fourth murdered prostitute, and for that case, Albright had an alibi. That put a dent in the testimony about how scientific hair analysis was. And the defense was ready for that.

backyard 2.bac.002 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
At this point, detectives had arrived to examine the sparsely furnished crime scene — one of the more interesting ones they had witnessed in some time. Of particular scrutiny was the bedroom, which appeared to have been rigged up for a special purpose.
Plastic sheeting covered the carpet to protect it from dripping blood. The bedding on the one single bed was all tangled and disarrayed. Most sinister was the large thick plywood board with several sets of handcuffs, ropes and cords attached to it. On the floor was a bayonet-like knife, a huge dildo, binding tape, glass tubes and petroleum jelly.
In a shed in the backyard was a plywood box with air holes cut into it and some strands of human hair inside.
Neighbors said that the house had belonged to Dean Corll's father Arnold, also an electrician, who had let his son take over the house when he had moved away. Son Dean had taken care of the house and had done nothing to arouse the suspicions of his neighbors in the quiet middle-class neighborhood.
At police headquarters, detectives got quite an earful from the two teenage boys. Earlier Tim Kerley said that Henley told him, "If you weren't a friend of mine, I could have gotten fifteen hundred dollars for you."
Henley told police that Corll was a homosexual and pedophile that paid him to procure victims, which Corll later murdered and buried in a boat shed.

diagnosis 7.dia.14 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
"The smell of decaying fish permeated the house and was extremely difficult to eradicate," the charging document read. Yet, the combination of a gun possession charge and vandalism set off no alarm bells about the man the local cops had once—albeit briefly—suspected of killing a six-year old girl.
There were times that Hadden Clark attempted to get help. He would often show up at a local veterans' hospital but after staying a few days and getting a few doses of Haldol, the anti-psychotic drug, he would bolt from the ward and return to his woods.
A doctor's diagnosis was a warning: "his mental state is psychosis with questionable etiology. He states that birds and squirrels talk to him and keep him company . . . he is tearful at times with intermittent outbursts of anger and agitation . . . he is a potential danger to himself through poor judgment and self-defeating behavior."
Hadden's own words as recorded by the hospital's doctors were chilling. "I think I have a split personality," he said. "I don't like to hurt people but I do things I am not aware of . . ."
Increasingly Unstable
In February of 1989, local police again arrested Hadden Clark. This time there was a 17-count criminal indictment. Fifteen of the counts were for theft. The acts were unusual. Hadden Clark had dressed in women's clothing and visited a number of area churches. While women inside the churches attended choir practice, he visited the cloakroom and stole both their purses and their coats.

application 33.app.001002 Louis J. Sheehan, esquire
First, that the trial be halted. Ms. Davies claimed that Dr. Shipman could not receive a fair trial because of the prior "inaccurate, misleading" coverage of the case. For the better part of two days, she drew attention to the range of newspaper articles reportage of nearly 150 patients' cases and financial searches, plus the extensive coverage of the exhumations.
The prosecutor Mr. Henriques countered with a statement that the reports had actually been beneficial — they had helped alert other families to possible irregularities in the deaths of their loved ones.
In the Second Application, Ms. Davies wanted the court to hold three separate trials.
She claimed the case of Kathleen Grundy should be separate — it alone had any alleged motive, greed.
The second trial, she said, should involve only patients who had been buried, because this was the only group where physical evidence of cause of death — morphine poisoning — applied.
The third trial, she believed, should cover those cremated, as no physical evidence of death existed.
Again, the prosecutor countered with an argument that, because the cases were inter-related, trying them all together was required to present a more comprehensive picture.
Ms. Davies then presented the prosecution's third application — one that stunned the court. She wanted evidence referred to in 'volume eight' disallowed.
Essentially, volume eight detailed how Shipman had accumulated morphine from 28 patients — many now deceased. It showed the doctor continued prescribing for some after they had died, and kept the drugs for his own purposes. Similarly, he had prescribed opiates for many still living — patients who had never required strong painkillers, much less morphine.
After considering the defense's three applications, Mr. Justice Forbes carefully explained why he was denying each one.
The trial would proceed; it would include the sixteen charges in the indictment, and evidence in volume eight would be allowed.

fanatic 44.fan.551 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
Another source is Lee's 1856 letter to his wife,[22] which can be interpreted in multiple ways:
“ ... In this enlightened age, there are few I believe, but what will acknowledge, that slavery as an institution, is a moral & political evil in any Country. It is useless to expatiate on its disadvantages. I think it however a greater evil to the white man than to the black race, & while my feelings are strongly enlisted in behalf of the latter, my sympathies are more strong for the former. The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, socially & physically. The painful discipline they are undergoing, is necessary for their instruction as a race, & I hope will prepare & lead them to better things. How long their subjugation may be necessary is known & ordered by a wise Merciful Providence. ”
Freeman's analysis[22] puts Lee's attitude toward slavery and abolition in historical context:
“ This [letter] was the prevailing view among most religious people of Lee's class in the border states. They believed that slavery existed because God willed it and they thought it would end when God so ruled. The time and the means were not theirs to decide, conscious though they were of the ill-effects of Negro slavery on both races. Lee shared these convictions of his neighbors without having come in contact with the worst evils of African bondage. He spent no considerable time in any state south of Virginia from the day he left Fort Pulaski in 1831 until he went to Texas in 1856. All his reflective years had been passed in the North or in the border states. He had never been among the blacks on a cotton or rice plantation. At Arlington the servants had been notoriously indolent, their master's master. Lee, in short, was only acquainted with slavery at its best and he judged it accordingly. At the same time, he was under no illusion regarding the aims of the Abolitionist or the effect of their agitation. ”
Harpers Ferry and Texas, 1859-61
Both Harpers Ferry and the secession of Texas were monumental events leading up to the Civil War. Robert E. Lee was at both events. Lee initially remained loyal to the Union after Texas succeeded.
Harpers Ferry
When John Brown led a band of 21 men (including five African Americans) and seized the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia in October 1859, Lee was given command of detachments of Maryland and Virginia militia, soldiers, and United States Marines, to suppress the uprising and arrest its leaders.[23] By the time Lee arrived later that night, the militia on the site had surrounded Brown and his hostages. When on October 18 Brown refused the demand for surrender, Lee attacked and after three minutes of fighting, Brown and his followers were captured.
Robert E. Lee made a summary report of the events that took place at Harpers Ferry to Colonel Samuel Cooper, the U. S. Army Adjutant General. According to Lee's notes Lee believed John Brown was insane,"...the plan [raiding the Harpers Ferry Arsenal] was the attempt of a fanatic or madman". Lee also believed that the African Americans used in the raid were forced to by John Brown himself. "The blacks, whom he [John Brown] forced from their homes in this neighborhood, as far as I could learn, gave him no voluntary assistance." Lee attributed John Brown's "temporary success" by creating panic and confusion and by "magnifying" the number of participants involved in the raid.
Texas
When Texas seceded from the Union in February 1861, General David E. Twiggs surrendered all the American forces (about 4,000 men, including Lee, and commander of the Department of Texas) to the Texans. Twiggs immediately resigned from the U. S. Army and was made a Confederate general. Lee went back to Washington, and was appointed Colonel of the First Regiment of Cavalry in March 1861. Lee's Colonelcy was signed by the new President, Abraham Lincoln. Three weeks after his promotion, Colonel Lee was offered a senior command (with the rank of Major General) in the expanding Army to fight the Southern States that had left the Union.

"His voice was soft, his manner mild
He seldom laughed but he often smiled
He'd seen how civilized men behave
He never forgot and he never forgave
Not Sweeney
Not Sweeney Todd
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street...
Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire"
"The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" By Stephen Sondheim.
Sweeney Todd was the only child of a pair of silk industry workers who labored in their home in the slum of Stepney. His parents were both alcoholics who placed a desire for gin above everything else in life, and Sweeney quickly learned where he ranked in order of importance to his parents.
He wasn't alone in this regard. Gin, which had recently been introduced to England from the Netherlands, was increasingly becoming the true opiate of the masses. William Hogarth, whose etchings frequently took on a moralistic tone, reveals the upper-class attitude toward the liquor in his artwork, Gin Lane, which features a half-naked drunken woman oblivious to her child, who is falling head first to the ground out of her arms. In the background of Gin Lane, buildings crumble from disrepair, and the devil operates the local pawnshop, which, along with the undertaker's, represents the only thriving businesses in the district. An emaciated, half-dead skeleton of a man sits in a drunken stupor across from his inebriated wife.
Made from cheap corn and fermented juniper berries, gin was partly responsible for the rising crime and lower life-expectancy in London, where gin mills frequently advertised "drunk for a penny, dead drunk for two pence, clean straw provided." Beer, wine and sherry were much too expensive for the laboring classes, but Hogarth, in the antithesis to his Gin Lane etching, created another artwork, which shows happy, healthy beer drinkers in a clean, safe neighborhood where the only ramshackle shops are, of course, the undertaker and pawn broker.
"Gin was said to be the drink of the more sedentary trades," wrote David Hughson in his 1806 History of London. "It was essentially a disease of poverty, so cheap, so warming and brought such forgetfulness of cold and misery."
Colin Wilson reports that in the year following Sweeney Todd's birth, eight million gallons of gin were consumed in England, with Londoners responsible for 14 gallons each. As gin consumption increased, so did crime and cruelty. "Pity was a strange and valuable emotion," wrote Christopher Hibbert in The Roots of Evil. "Unwanted babies were left out in the streets to die or were thrown into dung heaps or open drains; the torture of animals was a popular sport. Cat-dropping, bear-baiting and bull-baiting were as universally enjoyed as throwing at cocks."
