MALONEY, JOHN [viz Miscarriages of Justice: Maloney, John]: True Crime with Aphrodite Jones TV - John Maloney online -
A veteran cop. A beautiful IRS agent. And a woman living on the edge bound together with the mystery of a fiery death. Was it an accident or cold blooded murder? True Crime with Aphrodite Jones s3e9: Burning Passions, CI 2013
Eight months later Sandy is dead ... He [John] sees police coming to his door. ibid.
Evidence the jury never got to see ... A botched attempt at suicide. ibid.
The case against John Maloney began in error, was compounded by fraud, and brought to fruition by collusion and deceit.
Milwaukee Assistant ME John Teggatz, who was given a deceased, badly burned body with no context, no medical or social history, mistook tardieu spots for petechiae. Tardieu spots are small blood spots formed after death by lividity, that is, the body’s position upon death. Petechiae are caused when small blood vessels are ruptured due to force such as strangulation. There were no other indications of strangulation, so Dr Teggatz’s opinion was tentative: ‘Probable manual strangulation.’ But that was enough for Wis Dept of Justice criminal investigators, Kim Skorlinski and Greg Eggum.
If it was murder, the fire had to be arson. After digging through the debris for 12 days, there was still no evidence of a set fire – so agent Eggum invented it. He portrayed ‘run marks’ from burning, melting sofa cushion fill as ‘pour patterns’ from using a liquid accelerant to set the fire. (An accelerant is a substance, usually liquid, that makes a fire burn faster.) To back up his claim, agent Eggum reported conducting an undocumented burn test in which he set fire to a piece of the polyurethane foam cushion. He said the foam held a flame but did not ‘run’. That’s like saying that the sun rose, but it came up in the west, a blatant misstatement of scientific fact. Agent Eggum bet that jurors wouldn’t get it, and they didn’t.
Agent Eggum was not deterred when the crime lab could find no trace of the petroleum-based products normally used to start fire – gasoline, kerosene, lighter fluid, charcoal lighter and the like. There were so many empty vodka bottles littering Sandy’s home that it was an easy substitute. Agent Eggum could be fairly sure most people wouldn’t realize that 80-proof vodka is 60% water, and works better to put out a fire than to start one. But just in case, at trial he testified to another undocumented burn test. He said he lit 80-proof vodka, and that it burned ‘very hot and very fast’. He was right. The jurors didn’t catch it.
Independent experts have reviewed this case, pro bono, and agree that there was no murder, no arson. But none of the real evidence has been heard by any court.
A 2005 CBS 48 Hours segment by reporter Susan Spencer took a closer look at the scientific foundation for the state’s claim that the Maloney fire was arson – a claim the state has vigorously refused to re-examine. John Maloney online article

I believe what I’m told to believe. Don’t you? Charles Manson
Yes the judge made a fool of himself. Again. And then he questions my sanity. I question his. Charles Manson
You can convince anyone of anything if you just push it at them 100% of the time. They may not believe it completely, but they will still use it to form opinions, especially if they have nothing else to draw on. Charles Manson
Sane? That’s relative. Charles Manson
I’m the other end of your society. Charles Manson, interviewed in court
I fear no bad. I know no bad. Charles Manson
Anything you see in me is in you. If you want to see a vicious killer, that’s who you’ll see. Do you understand that? If you see me as your brother, that’s what I’ll be. It all depends on how much love you have. I am you. And when you can admit that, you will be free. I am just a mirror. Charles Manson, interview Rolling Stone magazine June 1970
I’m probably one of the most dangerous men in the world if I want to be. But I never wanted to be anything but me. ibid.
You guys blame me for the sixties. Charles Manson
I never thought I was normal, never tried to be normal. Normal runs in that little rut down there. I don’t know nothing about being normal. I’ve been in jail all my life, man. I lived on the handball court. This guy raised me up. All the men in the joint raised me up, told me what to do, what was right and wrong, told me where to sit down, where to stand up. I just did whatever I was told. You know, and I got to the end of it and I just turned around and said, ‘Wow, far out!’ Charles Manson, interview Tom Snyder, 1981
Well, we’re our own prisons. We’re each our own wardens and we do our own times. We get stuck in our own little trips and we kind a judge ourselves the way we do. You know, I can’t judge uh, nobody else; best thing I can do is try to judge myself and live with that. See, what other people do is not really my affair, unless they approach me with it, and want me to do something about it. Uh, then I’ll uh take into consideration what has to be done. But other than that I just uh, try to do my number, and do my time. ibid.

Remorse for what? You people have done everything in the world to me. Doesn’t that give me equal right? I can do anything I want to you people at any time I want to, because that’s what you’ve done to me ... Maybe I haven’t done enough. I might be ashamed of that, for not doing enough. For not giving enough. For not being more perceptive. For not being aware enough. For not understanding. For being stupid. Maybe I should have killed four, five hundred people – then I would have felt better. The I would have felt like I’d really offered society something. Charles Manson
You’ve got it stuck in your brain I murdered someone. Charles Manson
