How about that Marvin! He won't be sampling any of Velma's lemonade in the joint, that's for sure.

I thought this was a joke but just looked it up! He was 74 when he committed the crime so probably figured he'd be gone by the time they tried and convicted him. In jail at 80... that's gotta suck. Might have been some illness since it seems out of character for what's been written about him.

You think he's a bottom? At 80, probably not much choice.

Yep. Shot one dude in the face, the other in the back. This all happened during a bar fight.

Wow - murder! He dropped the big one on 'em. Two big ones. He was a real fighter.
