Greg Lawson disappeared in 1991 during his trial for murder of Seth Garlington in Bienville parish, Louisiana
For more than 30 years, Greg Lawson had been eluding authorities after shooting another man and being convicted of attempted murder. So he couldn’t help but laugh bitterly as an official handcuffed him to bring him to jail after his capture in southern Mexico this week, according to authorities.
The FBI on Thursday published video on X, the social media platform, showing the final moments of Lawson’s unusually long run from the law. Lawson chuckled as a law enforcement officer waiting for him to step off at an airport gate put handcuffs on his wrist.
So many questions. How was he able to just walk out of the courthouse? Was he going by a different name in Mexico? Did he have a family their? Seems like a huge waste of taxpayer money to bring him back, especially since the other person didn’t die and the incident happened 30 years ago. They should work on real problems instead.
There’s something worryingly wrong with you if you think it’s a good excuse that he was too incompetent to succeed at his murder.
These are all valid questions. The summery failed to mention that both of these guys were shooting at each other. Maybe one was in self defense? Who knows, this is a shitty article.
