Alright, so, let’s talk about this Patricia Rorrer thing. You know, that woman they say did some bad stuff a long time ago. They keep talkin’ about her, so I figured I’d tell you what I heard, the way I understand it.
This Patricia Rorrer, they say she’s been locked up for a good long while now, almost 30 years, they say. That’s a lifetime, ain’t it? Imagine bein’ stuck somewhere for that long. They say it’s ’cause she hurt a woman and her baby. Lord have mercy. That’s just awful. A baby? Makes my blood run cold, it does.
Now, they’re talkin’ about lettin’ her go. See, she went back to court. Lawyers and all that fuss. They call it a “Habeas Corpus” hearing. Sounds fancy, don’t it? I don’t know what all that means, but it sounds like they’re lookin’ at her case again.
- They say she killed them out of jealousy. Some kind of love triangle thing, I guess. Like in them soap operas, always fightin’ over men. Silly, if you ask me. Ain’t no man worth goin’ to jail for.
- They had a big trial way back when, in 1998, they say. And they found her guilty. That’s why she’s been locked up all this time.
- But now, some folks are sayin’ maybe things weren’t done right. Maybe there was a mistake. I don’t know. The law, it’s a complicated thing.
There were all these people back in court, the same ones from the first trial, they say. Judges and lawyers and witnesses, I guess. All tryin’ to figure out if they did the right thing all them years ago. It’s like they’re watchin’ an old movie, tryin’ to see if they missed somethin’.
And get this, some judge, he thinks she might get out. He says, “Patty will be free by the end of 2024.” Patty, huh? Sounds like he knows her. I don’t know. Seems like a big deal to me. Lettin’ someone out after all this time. Makes you wonder, don’t it?
They talk about a “release date” for Patricia Rorrer. That means when she might get out of jail. And it seems like a lot of people are arguin’ about it. Some think she should stay locked up, and some think she’s been in there long enough. I ain’t got no dog in this fight, but it’s somethin’ to think about.
They had this hearing, see, over several days in November. Sounds like a lot of talkin’ and arguin’. And I heard they denied her appeal, or somethin’. Said she wasn’t gettin’ out. But then this judge, he still thinks she might. It’s all so confusing.
Now, this whole thing about overturnin’ her conviction, that means they’re tryin’ to say the first trial was wrong. Like they made a mistake. And this judge, he had to look at some papers, somethin’ called a “Writ of Habeas Corpus” and a “Post-Conviction Relief Act Petition.” Big words, I tell ya. Makes my head spin.
So, when’s this Patricia Rorrer release date? Well, that’s the big question, ain’t it? Nobody really knows for sure. Some folks say soon, some folks say never. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what the judge decides. It’s all up to them legal folks now.
It’s a sad story, all around. A woman and a baby dead, and another woman locked up for years. Makes you appreciate what you got, you know? Your family, your freedom. Those are the things that matter. Not all this drama and fightin’. Just hope they figure it all out and do what’s right, whatever that is. And I hope that little baby is restin’ in peace, the poor thing.
Anyways, that’s what I heard about this Patricia Rorrer business. Just a bunch of talkin’ and arguin’ and legal mumbo jumbo. But it sounds like somethin’ important is happenin’, and we’ll all find out soon enough, I reckon.
