We have strong gun control laws, but they don't work.
Criminals still get guns. The fellow who was murdered always was armed -
EXCEPT at home.
We have a bit of a scandal - KB1EVY was found shot dead in his house, last
night N1PRK was arrested on charges of murder. N1PRK's girl friend was
KB1SRO. N1PRK found a letter when he was cleaning up after the death of
KB1SRO, Judy and in the letter it was revealed that Judy was having an
affair with KB1EVY, so N1PRK went to his home and shot him 7 times. KB1EVY
always carried a pistol EXCEPT when he was inside his home. N1PRK was a
felon so he could not have a gun but he got one anyway.

John B. Wittey, 70, was arraigned Friday in the murder of John E. Williams,
also 70, in his home on Monday night.

WAREHAM — A Berkley man allegedly shot his 70-year-old friend 10 times
inside the victim’s home Monday night, killing him in a jealous rage after
learning the other man had carried on a romantic relationship with his
recently deceased girlfriend, authorities said.
The details of the love triangle and brutal slaying were disclosed Friday
in Wareham District Court in the case against John B. Wittey, 70. Wittey
pleaded not guilty to a murder charge in the death of John E. Williams,
also 70, of Wareham.
Wittey was ordered held without bail. His lawyer did not return a call
seeking comment.
Williams’s daughter, Mary Ellen Travassos, 36, of Dighton, said in a brief
phone interview after the hearing that her family was having difficulty
processing what happened.
“I will tell you that he was a great man, and a great father,” she said.

Man, 70, shot to death in Wareham
<http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2016/02/10/man-shot-death-wareham/6MIEDTIR0XNGvGHs7f1i1J/story.html?p1=Article_Related_Box_Article>
John Williams was discovered in his Glenn Charley Road home on Tuesday.
The medical examiner determined that Williams was shot 10 times and stabbed
on the right side of his abdomen, according to an affidavit filed by State
Trooper David B. Collett.
“That’s a pretty vicious, brutal homicide,” Plymouth District Attorney
Timothy J. Cruz told reporters after Wittey’s arraignment, praising
investigators for “making sure we can get somebody off the street [who]
would shoot a 70-year-old individual 10 times between his back and his
head. . . . That’s outrageous conduct.”
According to Collett’s affidavit, Williams’s girlfriend, Roberta Delorie,
66, discovered Williams lying in a pool of blood inside his home on Glen
Charlie Road in Wareham late Tuesday morning.
Travassos later told investigators that her father had previously been
romantically involved with a woman, identified as Judy Attaya-Harris, while
Attaya-Harris was living with Wittey, the affidavit said.
Attaya-Harris, 66, died last month of cancer, records show, and Travassos
told authorities that her father sometimes drove Attaya-Harris to doctor’s
appointments. Attaya-Harris and Williams belonged to the same ham radio
club, and Wittey got to know Williams through the group, the affidavit said.
Wittey told investigators on Tuesday that during the prior week, he became
upset after discovering an e-mail that Attaya-Harris sent to Williams in
September 2014 that contained details “of a sexual relationship between
Judy and the victim,” Collett wrote.
But Wittey insisted that he never brought the note to Williams’s attention,
the affidavit said. He also said he took a “joy ride” on Monday night
because he was upset and traveled all the way to New Jersey before
returning home on Tuesday afternoon.
Wittey claimed that he had never visited Williams’s home, according to
Collett.
GPS data, however, showed that Wittey drove to Williams’s street on Monday
at about 9 p.m. and stayed for an hour, and then returned shortly after
midnight before leaving less than 10 minutes later.
In addition, court-authorized searches of Wittey’s vehicle and residence
yielded several firearms, ammunition, and empty Beck’s beer bottles,
according to the affidavit. Investigators discovered a Beck’s bottle at the
murder scene, and Wittey told authorities that he drinks Beck’s, the legal
document said.
Investigators also seized several firearms from the home of Williams, who
was discovered lying face down with his right hand up by his head, records
show. Two live bullets and one spent casing were also located near his head.
Wittey, who was convicted in 2013 of assaulting a disabled person over 60,
is due back in court on March 14, according to legal filings. In addition,
Attaya-Harris took out a restraining order against Wittey in February 2003,
and the order was closed two months later, records show.
