Marty

Martin Russell Sullivan 
was a rare blend of humor and gentleman.  
May the wild eyed Nazi skin head who shot him dead 
forever rot in the hell hole he so richly deserved.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/20/2011 12:52:00 AM John, is that murderer dead now? thanks for telling me the story. Makes this poem even more meaningful. And it was too nice what you said about my Lily Jane poem. If I could be even HALF what she was as portrayed by truman capote!! Login to Reply John Smith Date: 9/20/2011 1:24:00 AM No, not dead. Recently came up for parole; that won't happen. I think he's in the Marion Fed Pen. Wherever; stay there. Your poetry has something above and beyond.

Matthew Anish Date: 9/18/2011 11:56:00 AM Powerful work~ Who was Martin Russell Sullivan? I did not know about this crime which you portray so movingly. Please give me a little background. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish Login to Reply John Smith Date: 9/18/2011 5:19:00 PM August 6, 1993, but yesterday to me. It's on the Net. Google Martin Sullivan & Jonathan Haynes. Thank you for taking note.

John Smith Date: 9/18/2011 1:45:00 AM Marty and I worked closely; like a father to me. Jonathan Haynes shot him; sentenced to death, but our governor 'commuted' all in our state. At least he'll die inside. Login to Reply
