Will that joke ever get old? Pampers.

That stinks.

No shiat?

My guess is that their evidence is full of shiat.

 
remus 2008-12-07 08:15:28 AM  
But, will the prosecution theory hold water?

 
Trik 2008-12-07 08:21:26 AM  
say what you want, the fact that she's still showing up at work everyday, shows that she's tough as shiat

and taking a crap in adult diapers while driving has gotta be a tough shiat ;p

That whole astronaut gone crazy story wouldn't even had of made the news if it wasn't for the adult diapers she was wearing. They have the power to elevate a mundane story into epic myth.

Keep on truckin.

She's willing to push through the hard times.

Is there some legal precedent I am unaware of that requires a suspect to be well rested previous to questioning by the police?

If the police are questioning someone and they claim to be tired, are the police now obligated to offer you a nap before resuming questioning or have your statements tossed?

 
Ouze 2008-12-07 08:46:27 AM  
another question - she claims that the diapers were for her children. Which one? She has a boy born in 1992 and twin daughters born in 2001. This happened in 2007. 6 is pretty freaking far along to be in diapers.

I fully expected it and still laughed. Would buy again A ++!

Depends on what?

Tumunga: Depends on what?

The astronaut.

 
skinink 2008-12-07 09:08:38 AM  

"A lower court judge also threw out Nowak's comments from the interview, saying investigators took advantage of the former astronaut, who had not slept for more than 24 hours, coercing her into giving information.

"The trial court applied the correct legal standards in determining that Nowak neither waived her Miranda rights, nor voluntarily spoke with police," the appeals panel ruled. "Consequently, the state cannot use the statements that Nowak made during her custodial interview with police as part of its direct case.""



So it's not offering her a nap before questioning, as much as coercing her. Any lawyers wanna comment on it? I just read a book about Baltimore Homicide Dept., and they mentioned something like getting a confession after eight hours of questioning didn't really hold water in court because it was looked at as obtained under duress, if I remember right.


The book was "Homicide" (the tv show was based on this book) and it's a good read if you like true life novels.

if the diaper does not fit, you must acquit.

 
Grouchy Old Bear 2008-12-07 09:55:08 AM  
Wow, she gets to look back on this and remember that everyone knows her as the "crazy diaper lady"

i disagree. the news picked up on the astronaut angle. the diaper is why the story keeps showing up on fark.

The difference being that the police caused the duress in that case - they questioned that person for 8 hours. In this case, that was the condition they found her in. Were they legally required to let her rest? Could they hold her in custody while doing so?

Do you think a jury would accept the confession of a crime from a person that was high as a kite, or may be injured in the commission of a crime and really in no condition to be making any type of statement?

It would have made national news based on her profession alone.

Ya, I know. Just kidding around in typical hyperbolic fashion.

Her attorney has said that the diapers were her children's and that she did not wear them during her trip from Texas.

Mother of the Year?

And they questioned the astronaut for 6 hours. Close enough, apparently.

Lots of famous people wear diapers when they drive. Boston Red Sox' Pedroia does. They allow him to see over the steering wheel.

I dressed up as her for Halloween last year...NASA jumpsuit and diaper. It went over well.

Could get the confession out in 20 minutes:
