With hindsight I expect he would agree with you Rindy. I might be one of those 'oldies' who looks at it differently but he was a fairly young man at the time and thirty years in prison must have seemed such a long road to go down.

I was only fifteen or so at the time and remember watching the news and comparing it to 'Bonanza' or some such programme we watched in those days. It was even more exciting when he escaped.

All in all, it isn't going to matter a damn in the end as he will never leave his hospital bed alive and he's suffered in his own way for years.

I so wish we had internet when Bonnie and Clyde ran amok..........what a good thread that would have been!
