I don't want to sound cold but he saved the tax payers a bundle, not to mention himself a long prision term. I can only hope the family and friends of Ms. Amanda Realie can find some closure or peace of mind from this, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

The whole thing is sad. The murder, his suicide but at least the taxpayers are not stuck paying for a trial and incareceration. I hope the children recover emotionally.

Help solve a cold case.

you are a very blessed woman. the inmate was mentally challenged and had no control over his own mind. the dept of correction didn't fail the inmate. the state of connecticut and UCONN did.
garner ci is not a mental health hospital but a prison. i hope the inmate's family members hire themselves a good lawyer and sue the state,UCONN and the dept of correction. even though i believe UCONN is to receive most,if not all the blame.
i hope you take a very good look at your quote. because, you might find a family member who might need mental health treatment and it is a sure bet that if your family member comitted a crime beyond his mental control, you might find him locked up at garner ci.,and might find him swinging from a state issued linen bed sheet.
you are a blessed woman,think about it.

you are also a blessed person. another mentally challenged inmate dies because garner ci is not a mental health hosp. but a cold and cruel prison,staffed by corrections officers who aren't trained to deal with the mentally ill inmates,and the so-called UCONN professionals are quacks. so much for masters degrees for UCONN PROS.
pray you never have a mentally challenged family member find his way to garner ci.

you are a class one idiot,i hope you know that. "one less person i have to support." i have got some good news for you. one less inmate means one more bed to fill. you are supporting inmates sleeping on the floors and the inmates keep on coming like s..t happens. release 20 inmates from custody and you will have at least the same amount of new inmates coming in. " one less person i have to support" is a fantasy
and guess what if you haven't bother to notice your surrounding, with the price of gasoline the way it is, you will always have one more person to support.who knows, maybe your family might have to support you in jail.KEEP THAT IN MIND.

Wow stargate those are some harsh words. I think that if he were mentally unstable they would have found that out before they locked him up. If he were so unstable why did you not fight for him then so he could get help? No lets wait until he murders someone and them come up with the mental issues. Everyone has everyright to make the comments they do. You have the right to not log onto this website. Don't try to impose your upstanding morals on the rest of the world.

Give him the death penalty...never mind he gave it to himself because he couldn't deal with the fact he knew what he did was wrong and he would suffer severely. but the bleeding liberal said sue the state, sue uconn, sue corrections....lets pay the family of an animal that blasted his girlfriend of the presence of their children.. right on brother. it is sickening
