Guest 07/01/06Maniac murders have to start with their first killing. It’s the day the anger and frustration, growing larger and larger inside the psychopath, bursts forth (per Kindlon) “like a Frankenstein monster.” Does Kindlon think that Andrea Yates showed signs of being a maniac murderer before she “snapped” and drowned her five children? Does Kindlon think that Ted Bundy (who was very, very close to his mother; had a friendly personality; was liked by many people he met; was extremely intelligent, but couldn’t cope with college) showed maniac signs of being a mass murderer before he killed his first victim and then went on to kill 35 more victims? Kindlon has to do a lot better than this line of thinking… Everything has a beginning. Is that the best you can get for a high priced – ‘top-notch’ defense counsel? The other reason Christopher is not guilty, according to the defense,is due to the local police department. This man and wife team of Kindlon/Shanks shouldn’t rely on degrading the Bethlehem police department to ‘prove’ his client’s innocence. John Polster, the attorney for Joan Porco, who is also aiding the team of Kindlon/Shanks in Christopher’s defense, is quoted as having said on November 17, 2004: "Family spokesperson John Polster spoke with the media Wednesday evening. Polster says the Bethlehem Police Department could not be doing a better job and commends them for their professionalism and says the family will continue to work with the department." The website for the entire report can be found at: http://www.wten.com/Global/story.asp?S=2570046&nav=MaptTAAA This statement by Polster was said after the police had interrogated Chris for 6-7 hours and refused to allow Polster to represent Christopher because Christopher said he didn’t need an attorney and Polster was his father’s friend, not his (Chris’) lawyer. The video of Chris’ interrogation by the Bethlehem Police has now been thrown out by Judge Berry because Polster has changed his story; claiming that he was Chris’ lawyer and that the Bethlehem Police were unprofessional in their questioning of Christopher. Shouldn’t there be something illegal about the victim’s (Joan Porco) attorney (J. Polster) being part of the defense team representing Christopher who is accused of trying to kill Joan? Seems to me there is a definite conflict of interest here. Should Joan’s lawyer allow her to be programmed for media expressions of support and affection of her son so that a ‘not guilty’ verdict will be rendered on the basis of a mother’s love and support for her son? Shouldn’t someone question the NY Bar Association about the propriety of John Polster representing the interests of both the accused and the victim? Can any lawyer serve two client’s who’s interest are so juxtaposed? Joan’s interest would be better served if Polster helped her cooperate with the prosecution to find her husband’s murderer, instead of making her serve the needs of Kindlon/Shanks with photo ops, letters to the editor in support of her son, and public displays of affection.

I have read all I have access to and watched the interviews and read the interrogation. I do not see any actual evidence that he Christopher was involved in this crime. He would have had to shower and change his clothes and dispose of them where they could never be found bc not ONE trace of blood was in his jeep and that would have been impossible for Christopher to pull-off.
