Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place. If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that! You see, I'm in the Red Queen's Race...
Eddie Lynn Keck - CASE CLOSED
By Janet Evans
Monday, Sep 8 2008, 11:50 AM
I don't know why I checked the Wisconsin Court System's site...something just made me do it.
I knew Eddie Lynn Keck had been sentenced on September 3rd...I guess I knew sometimes additional text is added to the site after the trial. So I went back.
I was surprised to see "Case Closed" already. I remember when it would take months to get cases updated on the site. I was more surprised by what I found when I entered the case. I didn't expect to see the detail and it just gave me a heavy heart....

A plea...A sentence...CASE CLOSED...
Easy.
I hope things are going as easy for the family of the Kitchen's.

Eddie Lynn Keck Sentencing - Do You think He will find God in Prison? (09/06/08)
_______________________________________________________________
Eddie Lynn Keck was sentenced to 36 years in prison for killing of Gary Kitchen, 53, and his wife, Barbara, 52.
Now the special prosecutor will be sending his recommendations to our Licensing Committee of Alderman Solomon, Alderman Taylor and Alderman Wilhelm so they can make a determination as to what should happen to the Buckhorn Tavern and bartenders licenses.
So, does the Committee go solely off of that recommendation? Who knows...we will wait as the wheels of "due process" turn.
In the meantime, as Keck goes off to prison, I wonder if he will find God, as so many criminals do while they are locked up. I ask because of a comment I received on this yesterday from "Suzanna." I don't know if Keck is a religious man already. Perhaps he is. But the topic of the comment was forgiveness. It's an interesting read. Check it out below.

Update ~
When Eddie Lynn Keck plead Guilty on June 23rd, his sentencing date was scheduled for July 24, 2008.
That sentencing has since been postponed twice. Sentencing is now scheduled for September 3rd.

This was brought to our attention by a comment left on this post 8/15 by reader Scott Thinnes. He has some interesting observations (see below).
When will our Common Council bring the Buckhorn issue back into the Common Council Chambers?
