A federal appeals court upheld the big fat no given to Patrick Timothy Richardson, the University Park resident convicted of killing his wife. The lesson here: If you kill your wife, you go to jail and it doesn’t matter if the judge’s wife was in the Junior League with the victim. Too bad.
It defies belief that Richardson would even try this kind of crap after what he did. The details of this murder were so incredibly disturbing that I was troubled by it for months afterward. I can’t imagine how profoundly his children were affected by witnessing their mother’s horrible death. I sincerely hope he rots in jail until his own death.
