And on the heels of yesterday’s [poor excuse for a] criminal, I bring you….
“The wife of back-from-the-dead canoeist John Darwin told a jury she wished her husband really had drowned.”
Try to follow this without a migraine: The wife, Anne, who conspired with John, her husband, to fake his death in March of 2002, complained that she almost committed suicide because of the pressure to maintain the lie of John’s death.
So, she wished her husband had really died, not just pretended to die because she might not then have wanted to kill herself. With that logic, she’s wasted years not running for political office.
The abomination of it all was their two sons and John’s father actually grieved his death. All the while the man was hiding out in his own home and laughing with Anne in the afternoons. His father, 80 years old at the time of his disappearance, died without knowing his son was alive. For five y
ears, Mark and Anthony, in their 20s at the time, mourned their father’s death. And, on the first “anniversary” of their father’s death, their compassionate mother tossed flowers in the sea “to comfort” her sons.
According to the BBC News: “Darwin changed his appearance. He grew his hair and an astonishing beard – he looked like a member of the rock band ZZ Top – and applied for a passport in a false name using a picture of his new self. He had used the birth certificate of a child who died in 1950 and was buried in a cemetery in Sunderland.”
