New Timeline

Image
Given the conflict between a key part of Vivian Cercy’s testimony and the testimonies given by others, I’ve removed it from my timeline.  Specifically, I’ve removed her claim that she saw Mary and Greg with a blond man around 0130 the morning of the 16th.  I take it as a fact that Mary was not in or near Rainbow Village at the time, because she and Thomas had gone with Jim Prew on a beer and burrito run from which they didn’t return until approximately 0200. **** Sometime before sunset, David Bergman ("Mousey") took Ralph International Thomas to the liquor store.   ( Berkeley Marina Murders , p. 134).  Thomas told Inspector Dan Wolke that Melody Medlin accompanied them. 1900-2000: Bergman claimed he heard a rifle shot at 1900  ( Berkeley Marina Murders , p. 134.)   Thomas Medlin claimed he heard a rifle shot sometime around sunset  ( People v. Thomas , p. 3) .    Sunset on August 15 was 2002. Thomas told Wolke that after returning f...

Greg's Voice?

Image
I n the previous post  I  claimed that Mary and Greg probably almost certainly walked past Cercy's vehicle as they left Rainbow Village. Thomas testified that he did. Let's consider the possibility that Greg's voice was the " voice that sounded  white" that Vivian Cercy said she heard that night.  I've discussed how Cercy heard a voice that "sounded white" in another post. ( The 'White' Voice )  Here's the relevant section again: "[...]  Cercy heard two male voices, one of which sounded white, talking behind her car. The person with the white voice said, ‘Leave her alone; she's got two kids.’ A few seconds later there was a knock on the window of the driver's door and Cercy saw a man wearing a pea coat. He asked her name and where she was staying. [Cercy told the man she was staying with Harry Shorman.] When he asked what color bus Harry owned, Cercy asked the man why he was questioning her. The man said he was going to kill ...

How Long Can A Rage Last?

How long can a rage last? In  People v. Thomas  Justice Mosk argued that, to him, the evidence suggested that the murders had resulted from "an explosion of violence" and "a brutal attack." In another post , I argued that Greg and Mary had been viciously attacked because a weapon was at hand before and during the attack and this indicated that the attack had been deliberate. I now think that Thomas more than likely committed the murders and that he had to return to Rainbow Village to get his rifle before he attacked Mary and Greg. I think that Vivian Cercy heard Greg say to Thomas, "Leave her alone; she's got two kids" before Thomas approached her vehicle, and that this sparked Thomas's anger and gradually sent him into a rage. Did Thomas attempt to scare Cercy before or after Vincent Johnson saw him with Greg and Mary near the dump gate? Johnson testified that Thomas looked angry when he saw them around 0230. What bugged me about this detail early...
