Yuck. The video of him smiling in the courtroom is chilling.

Stanford Prison Experiment, yes. Old Philip Zimbardo. Not some experiment, legendary experiment....it changed the rules of using human subjects in experiments and now people like me have to go through hours and hours of CITI training to experiment on human subjects, which I just had to do for a study I'm starting to work on. In fact a unique opportunity just arose for me and I have to abandon another more mundane study to jump on the opportunity that the stars has just seemed to throw me into.

Stanford Prison Experiment highlights the need to constantly train people to not be scumbags when they're in a position of uniformed power. During the experiment Zimbardo added different treatments to see what would happen and he found our that the "prison guards" were most sadistic and dehumanizing when they were wearing mirrored sunglasses. They were bigger dicks when wearing sunglasses, but add mirrors to the glasses and their dickery would soar into the stratosphere. Stuff really escalated, people were changed, and experiments haven't been like that since.

...convicted felons should not be allowed to profit from their notoriety while in prison .

Oh you mean Sid from Toy Story? I remember his name, he flipped off their family and told them he masturbates to the thought of killing them or something.

Didn't know he's in more trouble now though.

Look at Jodi Arias though, still selling a ton and making bank off her paintings. It's disgusting.

...he actually wrote killer on his T-shirt and exposed it in the courtroom .

Do we have any Son of Sam type laws in Ohio? Preventing a criminal from profiting from the crime this way.

...as far as I know we do not ; I just heard the story last night that his personal belongings including letters were being sold online . I'll have to double check any laws this might be breaking .

I agree ... But how do you propose to stop that ?

Are they not allowed to make money? Also Ohio has laws that prevent people from profiting from their crimes it just doesn't extend to third parties .


Actually ... On second thought I support the use of their notoriety to make money.... Take 95 percent of it and use it for victims of violent crime.

Maybe they're being sold by the family?

Actually Ohio has laws on the books to prevent criminals from profiting from their crimes ... But it doesn't extend to third parties like the website that's selling his stuff
