"After the assault, the woman said Burd asked her to give him 'a little time before you contact the cops so I can down a couple beers before I go to jail.'"

"He also told her to tell police to care for his mother's ashes. Burd was arrested a short time later and charged with first-degree sexual abuse, first-degree rape, second-degree burglary and third-degree kidnapping."

He assumed it would be oblivion of some sort afterwards.

Heh. Before reading these comments, I emailed this story to a friend who is against the death penalty with the subject, "Maybe We Should Have the Death Penalty for More Things."; 10/20/17, 10:03 AM

Gahrie said...: One of the reasons I get so upset about fake campus rape statistics is that they conflate boorish behavior, sex later regretted, and unwanted attention with actual rape.; 10/20/17, 10:50 AM

Ann Althouse said...: Interesrs me because of the weirdness of his numbness and resignation.

He had the energy to do the crime but not to try to run away. Did he lose heart midway through the enterprise? Did he feel remorse and want the relief of beer plus capture?; 10/20/17, 11:15 AM

rhhardin said...: A guy's outlook on sexualr women changes a lot after ejaculation, as to sexuality. What was that all about, he thinks.

It's not out of line that he becomes polite. Obsession gone momentarily.

That's how a guy knows his brain has some crazy wiring. Women don't get that advantage, probably.; 10/20/17, 12:17 PM
rhhardin said...: Women may have noticed a less than sensitive partner rolling over and going to sleep. That's that change.; 10/20/17, 12:23 PM

Rosalyn C. said...: Reminds me of the story of the defendant pleading for mercy after killing his parents, because as he explained to the judge, "I'm an orphan." It's called lacking remorse. Probably not his first rape.; 10/20/17, 1:16 PM
JackOfClubs said...: "Hey, I know I just raped you, but could you do me a favor..."

No evidence of remorse here. Just narcissism and sociopathy.; 10/20/17, 7:22 PM
