nurse ... I didn't bring up spousal abuse. That is a totally different subject. My comment was about two things. 1. My opinion that the thought of doing in the other party of a divorce battle is a common thought (rarely acted upon thank goodness) and 2. Why men might have that thought more often than women. Nothing more. I am sorry that the ugliness of spousal abuse has touched your life. Your comment smacks of ridicule and outrage towards my opinion. Thank you for being so open minded it's refreshing. NOT!

unkbd-LMAO You think men get a rough time from the judicial system? I have seen women almost murdered and horribly harmed by the men in their lives. The majority of the time, these "men" get a ticket without any jail time. The women then have to look over their shoulder.

When someone is murdered, it is usually the spouse.

Just out of curiosity, How many men(or women for that matter), going through or completed with a divorce, have ever had the following thought go through their head? "It would have been cheaper/easier to "eliminate" him/her." I agree that thinking it and acting on the thought are two horrendously different things, but the fact remains that even in some of the civilest separations these thoughts occur. Especially, from the male perspective. Allot of guys really get screwed by the judge and or attorneys.

Maybe during Crislaw's lengthy prison sentence he can spend a lot of time in the prison library studying contract law.

Nice catch, nurse4u. Less than one-percent of all Americans harm others in the way Crislaw intended. This means that society is a non-factor and that Crislaw is totally responsible for what he did. I wonder how much matthew would blame society if someone did something bad to him or his family. His post comes off as hostility toward Crislaw's intended victims. Zealousness does that to a mentality.

matthew516-"He was hardened by his enviornment."

No, let's not forget that this was a well thought out plan- put in place by Mr. Crislaw- that terriorized a wonderful young lady.

Hardened by his enviornment??!!
No, I do not think so. He allegedly wanted a wife whom he could control. When that did not work out, he wanted to "rid" himself of his "problem." This has nothing to do with Mr. Crislaw losing the love of his life. Far from it.


If there are spelling or grammatical errors, I apologize. Long day.

Matthew516, There is an article from today in the local section on the website. The article says he will remain in jail on a $30,000 cash bond. There is also a picture of him wearing a orange suit with handcuffs. So he came from the jail to court.

Great. Chrislaw has been found guilty and will be sentenced on Apr. 15th. What does that mean? Is he in jail now or does he have the next 3 mos. to go out and live it up?? I'll pray long and hard for this man and the people involved in this case. What Chrislaw did was wrong, however, there are others "players" in this game who haven't exactly played by the rules either. We just don't have laws here on this earth to hold them accountable as well. (And rightly so, there's only one judge for that) As far as Joseph Chrislaw goes, I as well as many others share the same sentiment regarding this man. Years ago, this guy man was a very valuable asset to society. A hardworker, raised with good family values and he became the next victim our society gobbled up. Every man needs to be held accountable, however, I have empathy for him knowing his heart was hardened by this environment we live in. There's plenty more people that are being primed for the same fate. Sad when the power to turn the tide on those things is in OUR hands if we just quit sitting on them and doing nothing.

I agree with LesBoogie -- the article is about Chrislaw and once again the thread is about Yuri Rashkin. Not bad for a guy who can't seem to get enough attention. The bottom line he isn't good for Janesville.

Rockstars hit it right on the head.

Who says Yuri interfered in the marriage? It isn't really our business whom someone chooses to share a relationship with, married/estranged/divorced or otherwise. Quit speculating, people. You don't know the half of it.

A person that interferes in another persons marriage, and can't wait for the divorce, not only shows a lack of discipline, but also good judgement. The city of Janesville can have low standards, but don't expect good leadership.

I know that not all will agree with me, but the article does say "estranged" wife, not "ex". I think that's a sad testimony for anyone, let alone a leader.

Now maybe Inna can find some peace

Why should he resign? He hasn't done anything wrong. If you know otherwise, D.A. O'Leary's number is easy to find.

So when is Yuri going to resign?
