Jon the frog Posted January 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2018 IF it's true, it's just so cool ! Let him be free if he have taken a good life out of Alcatraz. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundew Posted January 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 24, 2018 It would be easy for anyone to claim this as the story is so well known, but it would also be easy to match the DNA to any living relatives of the escapee should this man turn himself in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noxasa Posted January 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I don't think it would be worth it just to satisfy a curiosity. Only one more year for bank robbery and prison escape just so he can get medical treatment to save his life? How many millions has the tax payer already spent on trying to get justice with this guy? Why spend more money on him? Probably should just let him die at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdesert50 Posted January 24, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 24, 2018 We believe what we want to believe and if we can convince others of our belief we then have support. Citing the Rule of Simplicity, of Occam's Razor, would perhaps have us consider the situation ... 'if we hear hoofbeats, think of horses not zebras.' Interesting test of belief is it not?

paperdyer Posted January 24, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 24, 2018 If we have DNA from the three men, and it's doubtful if we do, call his bluff. If he's a fake you charge him with whatever you can, then drop the charges. Sounds like the guy is just looking for free medical treatment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can always get DNA from family members and match it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, if any are still around and not too far "branched" on the tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpius Posted January 26, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 26, 2018 One reason would be that they choose not to waste government money for his healthcare. Unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibeliever Posted January 26, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Interesting to see how the priorities of society have changed since I was young, around what we should or should not spend money on. It's not a judgement, it's just interesting. We seem to have altered our definition of 'civilized'. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berwen Posted January 30, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It sounds like he is after free medical care, after all, prisoners today live better than most people what with free medical, free food, free board. Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
