Christopher Tindall

At the end of last year, I brough to you a story about a horrific murder. A 16 year old previously convicted rapist had broke into the home of a 72 year old woman, raped and murdered her, and then fled. For all the posts on this case, please follow the links below:

Christopher E. Tindall


I'm again writing about this heinous crime because the monster in question appeared in court yesterday.
He plead guilty in exchange for some of the charges against him being dropped:
Tindall, who is now 17 and had been charged as an adult, pleaded guilty in Logan County Common Pleas Court yesterday to aggravated murder. He admitted that he’d killed the woman who lived two doors from the Logan County Juvenile Court group home that he had sneaked out of that night.

In exchange for the guilty plea, prosecutors dropped the rape charge, as well as charges of aggravated burglary, breaking and entering, and abuse of a corpse. Judge Mark S. O’Connor set sentencing for Oct. 16. Tindall faces life in prison, although the judge could order him eligible for parole after 20, 25 or 30 years.

I do not believe that he was deserving of a plea deal. They had him, they had the evidence against him, and they had the knowledge that he was a repeat offender. He was in a boys home at the time of the murder, after serving time for raping a class mate. This monster doesn't deserve to ever see the light of day again.
When she heard someone sneaking through her house on Christmas Eve, 72-year-old Joan Green rushed right out of her bedroom and began yelling at whoever had dared to invade her home.

She surprised would-be burglar Christopher Tindall, so the 16-yearold hit her with his fist. But that wasn’t enough. He picked up a flagpole and began beating her. He didn’t stop until she quit moving. Then, police say, he raped her.

I will say it now, and I will vow to it- if this monster ever gets the chance to be released into society again, I will actively fight it. I'll write letters, hand out petitions, ANYTHING.. to prevent him from being free to commit another crime.
Some people are not deserving of freedom... and despite his age- Tindall has proven himself to be one of them.

Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...
