Avedon Carol at Sideshow: A few things

Xymphora is pretty sure Raymond Lemme didn't commit suicide. He was the guy from the Florida Inspector General's office who was assigned to investigate Clint Curtis' allegations that Republican Tom Feeney had asked him to write a program to cook the Florida vote. Local police ruled that Lemme, a happily married man eagerly planning his daughter's wedding, had suddenly decided to slash his wrists. At first they said there were no photos of the death scene; but then the pictures turned up on the Internet and were confirmed as authentic by the embarrassed police. The photos clearly contradicted the original suicide report on several points - presenting evidence, for example, that Lemme had been beaten before his death. The investigation was reopened after Curtis' Congressional testimony - and then abruptly shut down after local police spoke to a never-identified 'someone' in the Florida state government." Lemme joins a long list of inconvenient people who very suddenly, and without reason, used unusual abilities (such as being able to check out of a motel while dead) in order to kill themselves - and did so just in time to make life less difficult for certain Republicans. If I were Clint Curtis, I'd be in hiding.
