NY appeals court denies bail in cannibal cop case:
Associated Press
NEW YORK — A federal appeals court denied bail Tuesday for a New York City police officer charged with conspiring to rape, kill and eat women after a judge cited evidence that the case wasn't built on a fantasy.
...
Valle was charged last year with using a law-enforcement database between last January to Oct. 24 as he made plans to kidnap, rape, kill and eat women while communicating with others on a website devoted to the exploration of deviant sexual fantasies.

Wonder if this has given some of the anti's in NY pause with regards to gun ownership... Feeling Safer?
How about that registration database? Victim or not victim to be?
How did that background check and psych eval work out for 'em here?

I guess Mayor Bloomberg will have to ban stew pots now.

Thank you.

BTW, conspiracy defendants often try to use a free-speech or "just kidding" defense. Lately "role playing" is a defense.

On that basis, a group of people could perform every planning step of a crime like bank robbery or kidnapping, including buying legal weapons, photographing sites and victims, and establishing getaway routes and a safe house.

Grand juries indict people for that kind of behavior all the time.

Sounds like a movie plot, except for the indictment part. You are probably old enough to remember it. How to Murder Your Wife
Was pretty funny in its day. Probably wouldn't go over so well today.

As for the cannibal cop...as mentioned earlier, wouldn't surprise me to find out he had done some weird things before that haven't been uncovered yet. As for his co-conspirators, they might not be in the US. Remember those German guys who made a deal that one would kill and eat the other? They got together for through a cannibal website. Supposedly the cannibal became a vegetarian after he was caught and put in prison.

This fine gentleman is on trial in federal court. His estranged wife, who is the mother of his child, testified on the witness stand about her observations of his alleged obsession about killing, cooking, and eating women.

One of the worst courtroom sketches ever. This is the Wall Street Journal, not some tabloid fish-wrapper.

P.S.: They nailed another guy, New Jersey:
