Question

edit

Confused: why would he buy a freezer if he was putting the body through a woodchipper the night he killed her...If I am inferring correctly — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stburdgewiki (talkcontribs) 01:46, 11 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

The reason he bought a freezer is to make the body stiff, the consistency of wood, so it could be run through the chipper and have the desired effect and also less blood. --2600:6C65:747F:CD3F:3199:BB81:B4E8:D652 (talk) 11:51, 2 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

First Murder Conviction in which the body was never found

edit

Isn't the article under the "See Also" based on a murder older than this one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.17.24.142 (talk) 09:29, 16 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

"...first murder conviction in the state of Connecticut in which a body was never found." (emphasis added). The See Also case was in England. Hoof Hearted (talk) 17:59, 23 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Conviction

edit

The article does not say what exactly he was convicted of. Was it Manslaughter, First Degree, Second Degree or what? 2600:6C65:747F:CD3F:3199:BB81:B4E8:D652 (talk) 11:52, 2 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Good question. The state charged the defendant, Richard B. Crafts, with having committed the crime of murder in violation of General Statutes § 53a-54a, by killing his wife, Helle Crafts. ... a jury found him guilty of murder. The trial court then rendered a judgment sentencing the defendant to a term of fifty years imprisonment. Source: STATE OF CONNECTICUT v. RICHARD B. CRAFTS, Supreme Court of Connecticut, Decision released July 6, 1993. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 05:06, 3 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
The Connecticut statute, Conn. Gen. Stat. § 53a-54a, is entitled simply "Murder". Source: Conn. Gen. Stat. § 53a-54a. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 05:09, 3 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
