Updated – John Allen Ditullio Gets to Waste Even More Tax Dollars

John Ditullio has been in jail for the last three (almost four now) years on charges of a murder he allegedly comitted in March of 2006. Originally he told the court he was going to defend himself, believing that nobody would fight for his life with the same fervor that he would but in March of 2007 he changed his mind and decided that he did need counsel. The ninth grade dropout, while seemingly more than willing to do it, most likely made the right choice, at least to drag the damned trial out.

The latest bullshit motion filed on Ditullio’s behalf by his attorneys is to be able to have a make-up artist in court every day to cover some of the more offensive tattoos the American Nazi member has gotten over the last three years since he’s been in jail which include the barbed wire looking thing you see on his face as well as a swastika high up on the side of his neck. His attorneys said that “This on the side says Fuck You and is very offensive regardless of whether he had it at the time of the crime or didn’t have it”. They claim that the average person on a jury might be either offended or intimidated and maybe frightened by the tattoos and might lead jurors to suspect Ditullio as guilty regardless of the evidence. Ya think? Perhaps mister I’ll defend myself should have thought of that when he was preparing his own defense. His attorney does have a point but what a waste of Florida taxpayer’s money.

Anyway, Ditullio is in jail accused of murder and attempted murder. He donned a gas mask and broke into the home of a woman, stabbing her and killing her 17-Year-Old house guest. Originally it was bandied about that perhaps he was targeting her 18-Year-Old son, who is gay, but it seems that prosecutors are saying that she was terrorized because she was frequently visited by a black friend.

Detectives found the woman’s blood on Ditullio’s shoe and his buddies in the American Nazi told investigators that he came to their clubhouse the night of the murder wearing a gas mask and telling them that he had just stabbed the neighbors.

The state of Florida is seeking the death penalty in the trial, which begins Monday with jury selection.

Updated 12/8/09 – Ditullio apparently like to write down his thought. Shortly after the killing he wrote a note about it while he was holed up inside the trailer and SWAT team members had it surrounded. “I’m ready to die for what I believe in. I now know what it means to die for my race. I’m ready to shoot these cops until my jand stops working…I’d rather be killed than to live with those niggers forever”.

Racist asshole.

Not only does he like to mull over his crime but the Christmas following the murder he sent King’s father a Christmas card that read, “I hope your Christmas is full of memories of your dead gay son. Merry fucking Christmas”.

You know, after reading some of this stuff that’s coming out in the trial I don’t guess covering the tattoos matters much after all. Hopefully this asshat will be getting the death penalty for this bunch of crap.
