5$ says someone will be suing that temp agency for them sending Carolyn to WMF in the first place... we know pass the buck is par for the course. DUI x4 Check Fraud Petty Larceny x2 Assault with a deadly weapon Manslaughter Probation violations including leaving the country but seriously... she was in THE WASHINGTON POST for shooting her boyfriend... she wont even pass a google test, let alone a background check... so its clear one was never performed. hell i'm no angel (i've got a felony conviction)... but i'm also not handling the books for around $400,000 for my profession... this wont be blowing over anytime soon.

Banned users may not edit. Their only alternative is to use OTRS. They should first forward a fifth of expensive bourbon to the Office, along with $100 cash for cab fares home, or their request will not be considered. In fact, it most likely won't be considered even after they do this. San Francisco is going to be fun... I found both of these by searching for "carolyn bothwell" in Google. If you knew her age and that she lived in Virginia at the time, it would have been a no-brainer to discover this through due diligence. There are only 21 hits total in Google if the name is inside quotation marks. http://www.courts.state.va.us/opinions/opncavtx/0864964.txt QUOTE Carolyn Bothwell, a friend of Hall's, assisted the police investigation by wearing a concealed recording device on six different occasions in a futile attempt to obtain incriminating statements from appellant. Bothwell testified that she, already a convicted felon, was the target of a felony prosecution in Loudoun County at the time of appellant's trial but that her case had been continued. She further testified that she had reached no agreement with the Loudoun County prosecutor's office regarding the effect her cooperation in appellant's case might have on her own prosecution. http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-1111959.htmlQUOTE Va. Shooting Case Typifies Domestic Violence Cycle
The Washington Post, February 22, 1990
by DeNeen L. Brown
As he lay in bed in their Herndon town house, she walked up to him, stood no more than three feet away, pointed a .357 magnum at him and pulled the trigger, according to court testimony.
The bullet cut through his chest and his back, lodging in a pillow. "I damn near died," Philip L. Brown, 47, said in an interview yesterday about the Aug. 25 shooting. "They flew me code blue to the trauma center."
Carolyn Bothwell, 27, his girlfriend of eight years, was charged with malicious wounding and use of a firearm. A day after she was indicted, Brown wrote a letter to Assistant Commonwealth's ... The question is, "Why does The Register have to do this, and will it now be considered a BADSITE by Wikipedia?" Is it "wikistalking" or is it "due diligence"? Only your unfriendly cabalist knows for sure, and he won't tell you. |

QUOTE(thekohser @ Thu 13th December 2007, 8:51pm)  Wait a minute. Read this. Am I correctly reading that Carolyn Bothwell shot her boyfriend in the chest in 1990, then in 1999 her husband drowned in the Cayman Islands while on their honeymoon? Not trying to play forensic psychologist here -- I'm just confirming that these two points are facts? Greg Yes, it looks like the same Carolyn. The Washington Times snippet right below that one in your Google search says, "Doran is predeceased by his father, William T. Doran. He is survived by his wife, Carolyn, and a stepson, Philip Bothwell, both of Potomac Falls; ... " The Post piece linked in the Register article says, "She said she did not want to risk losing custody of her 3-year-old son." So if the Carolyn we're talking about has a son named Philip Bothwell, now about 21 years old, then it must be the same one. Potomac Falls MD is only about 15 miles from Herndon VA, and the time difference is nine years. Oops, sorry, I'm wikistalking again... I'm a BADBOY. |

Frankly, I doubt the Wikimedia Foundation would have cared if they had known that Doran was a convicted felon who had been involved in a shooting incident. It just stands to reason that if you open up a website, along with the structures built to support it, to the entire world with no background checks, no verifiable identities, and no accountability, you're going to get some people with criminal records - along with a wide variety of other people with, shall we say, interesting stories.And while I know full well that fetishism is no crime (in most states), let's not forget that the WMF's current spokesman, Cary "Bastique" Bass, is a former (or who knows, maybe current?) treasurer of the Southeast Conference of Clubs - or more specifically, Leather Clubs. Don't bother clicking on the link unless you're over 18! |
