Forty-three year old John Fitzgerald Kennedy is the third person to be
convicted for the killing of Thomas and Jackie Hawks, who were murdered
at sea off the Southern California coast on November 15, 2004. This,
after taking men posting as prospective buyers out for a test run on
their 55-foot trawler the Well Deserved.


Five years to convict. Probably ten more before they sniff the gas. It
took almost exact three years, from capture, to kill Saddam.

In 1967 when I was in the USAF my mom sent me a clipping. This guy,
who live a block away in Des Moines, was killed for his boat off
Southern California. Convicted a couple of guys of murder.

Did those idiots think they could sell the boat and get away with it?
Or that the owners wouldn't be missed?
