The thing I always remember about Resnick is that mass of hair of hers
billowing out in zero G - I kept wondering: "Aren't they concerned that's
going to get sucked into one of the ventilation fans?".


according to Mullane, her hair *did* snarl the drive mechanism of the IMAX
camera, IIRC. She was majorly bummed about that since it fed right into the
stereotype. The "cheerleader" pose in the famous crew pic certainly didn't
help any.

actually, astros who knew Ride and Resnik seem to think the former fit the
stereotype perfectly, while Judi was a wonderful lady.

...Which stereotype? Bitch or bimbo?


the card-carrying feminazi stereotype. Mullane's opinion is that's why Sally
Ride was the first American woman in space instead of the much-more-feminine
(and much less histrionic) Resnik or Seddon. Geez, Rhea even married one of
the Bubbas and bore his love child, talk about the anti-Steinem g

Depends.


You know, the diaper part baffles me.
She'd have had to stop for gas, couldn't she go then?
By the time this is all over, I'll bet it's going to be one strange
story.

hey, that's a great timesaving idea: pee-at-the-pump!

Well, my dad and I put a 70 gallon tank in the back of his truck, which
already had two tanks. When one tank got dry, we ran a line from the big
tank to it and used a very small pump. By the time the second tank ran dry,
the first was almost fill. Took about 30 seconds to stop, move the hose, and
get back up to speed. We travelled nearly 900 miles before having to stop to
refuel. Being Manly Men (tm), we could have just peed in a jug, but being a
diabetic, I would have needed several jugs. Start with an empty 2 liter
bottle and carry water in the others, you have an empty one by the time
you've filled the first one.

We are not talking murder, we are talking, at the most, stalking, and
assault with intent to kidnap. This is a minor felony charge.

"minor" felony?!? You mean in the "not a capital crime" sense, I guess.


The fly
in the ointment comes with the interstate travel to commit the crime.
She never followed through on the kidnap.

only because the victim managed to escape at the start of the attack. That's
kind of like saying Squeaky Fromme wasn't guilty of assassination since they
got Ford out of there before she shot him.


Her lawyers will argue that
she only asked for a ride and just wanted to talk it out.

spraying Mace through the car window kind of invalidates that argument, eh?
So does all the paraphenalia she brought with her.


Look at the
OJ case for guidance on this one. This one will be an interesting one
to follow.

Beautiful hair and a smile and eyes that would light up the sky. I
really miss Judy. Smart, beautiful, great sense of humor, and being
Jewish I'd bet she could out cook anyone anywhere. I didn't see the
cheerleader pose. Pls. post it if you have it.

The DA has her down for attempted first degree murder, although that
seems awfully over-the-top to me.

When you're going for a plea, you start with a high negotiating
position. And in fact, you can make a reasonable case for it, though
perhaps not one that you'll get all twelve on a jury to buy.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the defense team goes with a
psychiatric defense; this whole thing makes me think she had some sort
of breakdown.

I think you hit it on the head Pat. Temp insanity is a real

How long before this turns up as a LIFETIME movie of the week, where
this whole mess will be Offelein's fault... :-)

No kidding. How many different ways can you make a movie about how a man
screws up a woman's life?


Only a few. Lifetime remakes the same storyline over and over...

Coming Soon...
"Love Beyond The Atmosphe A Lifetime Original Movie..."

Wow, that title might play well on (ahem) Oxygen Network...

Depends.

That's not a psoychotic episode, that's deliberate, premeditated, sustained,
felonious criminal intent.

The second affidavit states the (web-sourced) Houston to Orlando maps
she used were printed on January 23rd, almost two weeks before the incident.
