You are joking right! As a white-collar inmate this is to be expected. Richard was admitted on his own merits whereas Nancy was declined admission and then her father had to intervene. Polygraphs are absolutely pointless. Or even a cop! Id like to know where Peter Munsch got his info. Again, the truth will come out. He should never get out. But, because of that law/so-called right, juries dont want to risk acquitting someone unless they are sure, because theres no way to fix it. Politics, power, and money will do what is necessary to influence the outcome of any situation. Its no consolation to the wrongly convicted that more of the guilty go free than vice-versa. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but please dont let that stop you! Rot in that cell you scumbag Richard Lyon. He began his prison sentence at the Wynne Unit in Huntsville. . Although Nancy enjoyed the East Coast, Richard made the well-reasoned suggestion that the couple should reside in Dallas, the Dillard family's power base. I will never believe, as some suggested, that his tears were just a ploy to win the jurys sentiments. It is all hearsay. But what makes you suspicious that you were poisoned at the hospital and not before? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7rEfV67630.

Many doctors discount what their patients say, and hospital staff are often overworked with little sleep. And so Richard was arrested, tried, and convictedand sentenced to life in prison. And the hospital filled capsules with poison and told Nancy they were vitamins??? Looks like the friend also ran for public office in 2020 and lost. Preyed upon her. And you know this how?

Things then got worse when she found out that her husband Richard was having an affair in the fall of 1989. Adam never killed Eve! I remember the Danziger case, too so incredibly sad. Do you know how to spot a liar with a business proposal? But hes innocent?!? Nancys family made its fortune in commercial real estate.). The problem is the cost of the trial and the fact that Texans have made Richard into a monster and Nancy into a saint makes it difficult for anyone to take the case. There might be a bit of Better Call Saul-ness in the case. On the website, I state very clearly who I am. There WERE owl feathers and her own hair found in her hands; what POSSIBLE explanation is there for that, other than an owl attack? Plus, the fact that the case is largely circumstantial, doesnt matter. who killed her if you believe that. There was no proof that Richard had any arsenic, Nancy had no arsenic in her stomach, there was no arsenic found in any of the food or in the house, the pill bottles did not contain poison nor Richards fingerprints, and they were found over six months after Richard left the condo (which the police had access to) and the condo was owned by a friend of Tramwell Crowe. Richard never denied the affair and has done his penance for it. After one of the most sensational trials in recent. We will all stand before God and have to answer for the things we have done in this life whether they be big or small. A jury convicted him of first-degree murder, and Lyon began a life sentence at the W.F. He was paid off to lie to protect his own skin and to secure the prosecutions case, something even A.W. Sensationalizing this with false narratives and TV crime drama does not help anyone involved. Smells of a set up. That bid was rejected, although the Texas Department of Justice website gives no explanation. The fake invoice for arsenic, the movie incident where he was upset because she wouldnt drink the soda (who gets upset about something like that?) Aware that the No. Your email address will not be published.

But, as every Forensic Files watcher knows, idyllic-looking existences tend to give way. Youre crazy (or stupid) if you believe that. Who had a stronger motive than him? I can only think of one plausible reason, and I think this poor guy may have gone to jail, right after losing his wife, for something he didnt do. The owl did it. Nancy had called him a Dr. Have you ever read the data and studies around the behavior of a sexually abused female? Thats all for this post. Precisely because of that, those further removed from the case claim they lack objectivity. I wonder if theyve given up the fight or if its just an oversight? I imagine the prisons low-medium security. You imply it was deliberate. All the evidence against him and he still wont fess up to his crime. Nancy's father, William "Big Daddy" Dillard, died in 2006 after a 59-year marriage to Sue Stubbs Dillard that produced four children. And in case that didnt work, Richard could rely on a receipt for arsenic trioxide, barium carbonate, and two other deadly substances signed by Nancy as evidence that she deliberately poisoned herself. That law/right has ended up causing a lot of innocent people to end up in jail in that country, along with the beyond foolish war on drugs, which have put a lot of innocent mothers, wives, and girlfriends to end up in jail for longer than the actual drug dealers (Im talking about 20 year mandatory sentences, mandatory sentences for anything is foolish there are always exceptions)!!! Our King and redeemer Jesus Christ the son of God. Yeah, really. Update on Nancy Dillard Lyons Killer You got to be kidding. Thank you. Lyon later admitted to buying some poisons, for killing fire ants in his yard, he said. When you look at the FACTS, I cant think of any reason for this, other than an owl attack, which DOES happen; maybe the owl had just laid eggs. I bet someone puts money in his commissary account and writes letters to anyone and everyone to plead his case. The doctors who took care of Lyon made 2 phone calls to the Dallas County Police and to medical examiner Jeffrey Barnard listing that her death looked like a homicide. Someone needs to do some real investigative reporting. Well I do hope their uncle did not destroy the childrens innocence.

No longer her brothers or her colleagues as he tried to imply when he testified in his own defense? Friends of Richard Lyon should spend their time being Friends of Anna and Allison instead. No one ever made mistakes on dosages?! Of course there could but theres no reason/evidence to suppose it over and above the explanation that Lyon was the perp so the court didnt. Life in Prison looks good on you! If no one else touched it, they wouldnt have been exposed and it explains the high dosage on her fingertips. The two purposely tweaked their handwriting so it looked similar enough that he could get away with handing in papers shed written for him. Its a pretty common pattern. When she and her older brother, Bill, were young teenagers, they engaged in incestuous sexual games, which may have crossed the. The truth is, there is just far too much that cant be explained away. Then, theres the empty capsules found at Richards, and especially the bogus so-called-receipt, that Nancy supposedly signed, for a number of poisons, that Richard found. This murderous scumbag should NEVER be granted parole. Again, its impalusible). Not all people are as closed-minded as you are. Also, when she was dying in the hospital, she told the doctor there that she thought Richard was poisoning her (the doctor waited until Richard finally left her side)! There can be SOME doubt , which is by definition unreasonable in compromising the reasonableness of the finding. While the rest of us have the opinion he is guilty. William Dillard, Jr. and his wife Mary Helen raised Anna and Allison. I wonder if they believe his innocent claim? Firstly, it is difficult to take responsibility for an action that you did not do.

So it is sadly predictable. Must make time go by quicker than it normally would behind bars. Jeannie or Tim? The amount of evidence is HUGE! Not only was Richard the one with actual motive, the fact that they were getting a divorce, then briefly got together before she died, is a VERY common spouse-murders-spouse pattern: a divorce in the works, one spouse sees what it will cost him/her, decides he/she can get more, then asks his/her spouse to try one more time (to stop divorce proceedings), so he/she can clean up as a widow instead.
