Richard Jewell Dies - Olympic Bomb Suspect

[Curiosity]

Remember the poor security guard who was accused of being the Olympic Bomber in Atlantic City when he was innocent - but tried and convicted by the hysterical media?

He died of natural causes but the article I linked to doesn't specify - I always felt terrible about him - he didn't have much of a life during those dark days - because the police were determined to accuse someone before the Olympics were over....

Here's a link to the story:

I'll tune in to Nancy Grace to hear the true story. She's not one of those hysterical types. Always unbiased.

Poor guy. Everybody got on his case for being a ''mama's boy'' who did not leave home because he couldn't get a date. A few women later date him but only because they were seeking to get publicity for themselves after the notoriety he got.

Poor guy never had much of a chance in life but managed despite all.

It's too bad.

He should have been a hero.

I was 2 blocks away from the bomb. My husband and I were at the hotel with Coke & Reuters. When I woke up that morning, the entire city of Atlanta was locked down. Police were shoulder-to-shoulder surrounding every building. Tanks rolled down Peachtree Street. It was something to see. But, it
was a mess to get out off. Every newspaper reporter in both the Atlanta and Dallas airports wanted to interview us. Quite exciting, but not for poor Mr. Jewel.
