From what I read (I know) was most likely sitting in on the trial. I know I was every day of it. It was not easy but I did it for Joan. I know Joan can rest in peace now that that scum is convicted. About spelling you need a dictionary yourself. Spell check works pretty good.
Well. I guess sarcasm is COMPLETELY lost on the fine citizens of Buffalo, NY. I think I'm losing IQ points just by reading this forum.

Hmmm. Just trying to see if it was fun to post ignorant comments about subjects and people I know nothing about, laden with misspellings and grammatical errors, passing judgment and condemning people to death. If you want to post... get a dictionary, read a newspaper, and keep your comments regarding his family to yourself. I have yet to read an intelligent comment on this site.
How about the fact that one of Dennis's family members wore earplugs & napped when the prosecution delivered there closing arguments...afraid to hear the truth...I didn't see Joan's family working on crossword puzzles, wearing earplugs during any of the defense, they had family everyday all day...until the verdict came in...waiting for that moment. All these comments defending Dennis are ridiculous...the man has been found guilty by a jury of his peers! End of discussion. He deserves a life in his 6x9 cell...and whatever comes with it. I look forward to his sentencing on June 30th.

Yes, but let's not forget, Joan Giambra's family has been dealing with this for almost 15 years! This is still a new development for the Donohue family, still a shock, so you can't compare the reactions of the two families. Which brings me to another point... it nice to know that if you commit a murder in Buffalo you have at least ten or fifteen years of freedom before the cops catch up to you.

"But the defense is trying to cast suspicion on the Kathleen's father, a diagnosed schizophrenic who had separated from Joan Giambra just weeks before her murder"
schizophrenia – A mental disorder characterized by separation between thought and emotions, by delusions, bizarre behavior, etc------Schizophrenic-
If the Buffalo Police were as thorough securing the Giambra murder scene, as the Prosecution attorney would have the jury believe, Why was Donald Cormier allowed on the scene? Then denying removing any evidence, but found in police evidence pictures removing a journal type book/ diary? Seems his memory failed him once he got out of the guidelines of the prosecution’s
coaching or witness leading. Apparently the prosecution didn’t see those pictures or they just missed that fact.
Why has it taken 7 months to bring this case together...after 15 years. Did the prosecution need that much time to establish trust between Donahue and the Jailhouse snitch(s) to orchestrate the Donahue confession? The snitches were all trying to cut a deal..to remove time from they’re sentence’s…Donahue was not one of them….
Should a man go to jail based on (yet to be seen) flimsy evidence, the word of a child molester trying to cut a deal for 25years off his sentence and the testimony of a detective that has jumped to conclusions and couldn’t remain focused presenting her testimony on the stand at the defense cross examination? Isn’t that her job?
If Donahue is guilty it shouldn’t be that hard to convict him.
To much politics involved in this case.
if joans daughter wasthere and most likly has her fathers mental disorder why at the trail she said she only got help right after her mothers trail.her father wasnt taken his meds and she isnt getting any help.so maybe everyone sould worry about her instead of dennis.

Are you seriously tryig to suggest that an 11 year old strangled her own mother, you must be desperate, anyone that can stretch this far must want Donohue to get off on the charges and can't face facts, he killed Joan, not Sam or Kathy. He also most likely killed Carol Reed and Crystal Lynn Gerard, in fact, tat is why he killed Joan, he told her then killed her to shut her up. We've known this for years but just recently got someone to listen to us, how do you think the cops found him without a last name to begin with.

Maybe you are the sister of Dennis that put ear plugs in and fell asleep when the DA made his closing argument, Dennis' DNA was under her fingernails and in her pubic region, only contaminated swab DNA was present on her other then Dennis'. Maybe he caused her mental disorder by stragling her till he thought she was dead, that would mess my head up a bit.

Its pretty sad hat after all evidence that they have on dennis his family still want to be so heartless justlik him.And if i was them i would see what kind of mentalness they have in there family. Only a sick person would do what he did and only a sick prson would stand by his side.And to make comments about kathy is sick.Everything comes 360 in life.So what goes around comes around.

Wow. The intelligence that I've gained from this post! Thank you, MY OWN GOD for such a powerful and insightful comment! Let's set aside the PERFECT example of grammar usage for one moment and examine just how much thought you must have put into a "your mom" insult. Such originality! Such maturity! Did the other fifth graders help you out with this one?

I doubt you know his sister, therefore don't presume that she knew anything about what her brother may have done. It is very ignorant to condemn his family for his actions. Your family is hurting, so is his. They didn't do anything wrong by loving their brother, maybe you should deal with your pain in a way that doesn't include trying to hurt others.

Let it rest about Crystal Lynn! There is absolutely no proof that he killed her, or Carol Reed. If there was, he would have been charged. As far as the cops finding him without a last name, if you really believed that for all these years he murdered Joan, and you knew who he was, I don't believe you didn't know his last name.
