    Correction to Last Part of Transcript of Jean Duley's Testimony - I fixed error

    Q: At this time, Ms. Duley, are you fearful for your personal safety?

    A: I am and so is the FBI.

    Q: OK. And can you tell the court why it is based on what you have testified to during the course of, since July the ninth, that you are fearful of your safety?

    A: Um, as far back as the year 2000, the respondent has actually, um, um, attempted to murder several other people, um, either through poisoning, um, he is a revenge killer, um, when he feels, um, that he's been slighted, or, um, um, has had, um, especially towards women, um, he, uh, plots and actually tries to carry out revenge killing, um. He has been forensically diagnosed by several top psychiatrists as a sociopathic, homicidal killer, um. And I have that in evidence. I do have, um, um, and through my, um, working with him, um, I also believe that to be very true.

    Q: And you are, as you’ve already testified, cooperating with the FBI with regard to the United States Assistant Attorney’s case with regard to the grand jury, is that correct?

    A: Yes.

    Q: And it’s my understanding that you’ve requested that Federal Bureau of Investigation offer you some sort of protection and you’ve indicated they’re not able to do that?

    A: They’re going to be following him. He is being released today. Um, and, um my assigned FBI agent actually very much suggested I get a protection order, um.

    Q: Is there anything further you think Judge Roberts needs to know regarding the situation before he makes a decision?

    A: I'm scared to death.

    [Comment from PTA Mom - Gee, the FBI was so concerned for Jean Duley's personal safety that "my assigned FBI agent actually very much suggested I get a protection order." If that were the best way to protect women from crazy homicidal men, we wouldn't have any more domestic violence killings in the U.S. And where's the evidence that Duley claimed she had that showed that Ivins was "forensically diagnosed by several top psychiatrists as a sociopathic, homicidal killer"?]
