I never updated this a while back

John J Haley was convicted in 2007, of involuntary manslaughter, and got sentenced to 10 years.

I wonder how many times the jurors uttered the phrase “John J. Haley is a piece of fucking shit.”

Apparently at the trial, it came to light that he shoved another elderly fisherman into the lake a month before he killed Du Doan.  The other victim of “Johnny’s” prank survived and testified at the trial, giving supporting evidence for John J Haley’s piece of fucking shittedness.

He was sentenced on November 4th 2007, but I don’t remember catching any of that info on the local news or in the local papers, and the linked post didn’t come up until December 11 2009, so that’s part of why I didn’t follow up on the original post.  Apparently other than 3 local bloggers, like this interesting chick at Bonnies Blog of Crime Nobody gave a damn.

Question.  10 years sentence, what does that come out to in real years?  Assuming he’s able to keep his head and temper and not screw up while in prison?

Update: Forgot that some people might not be familiar with my highly substantive coverage of the situation when it first happened, added link to my first “John J. Haley” post.

Controversial Dude sometimes, made a lot of fans of other teams angry for his willingness to “buy” championships, but there is no doubt he was a major player in the sports world, not just baseball.

I don’t track a lot of background in baseball, I’m just a Sox fan, not a fan of the whole sport, but That cat was so all over the goings on in the sport that it’s impossible to ignore his presence, and now his absence.
