THE WEEK, Page 23SOCIETYEt Cetera
CRIME OF GREED
"What you have done is thoroughly evil," pronounced U.S.
District Judge Garrett Brown as he sentenced Arthur D. Seale to
the maximum: 95 years in prison, without parole. Seale, 45, an
ex-Exxon employee, kidnapped senior Exxon official Sidney Reso
in his own driveway and stuffed him, bound and bleeding, into a
storage locker while negotiating his ransom. The entombed Reso
slowly died an agonizing death. Seale and his wife Irene were
tracked down by investigators. It was she who divulged the
damning details of the kidnapping, and is now in prison, soon to
face her own sentencing.
CRIME OF PASSION
"You have become a media celebrity," noted New York Supreme
Court Justice Marvin Goodman as he passed sentence on Long
Island teenager Amy Fisher. His honor understated the facts:
since Fisher shot Mary Jo Buttafuoco in the head last May, the
crime has drawn international attention. Prior to sentencing,
Fisher again insisted that Mary Jo's husband Joey Buttafuoco
was her lover and implied that he knew she intended to kill his
wife. (The Buttafuocos deny all.) Result: five to 15 years
imprisonment for the troubled teen for shooting Mary Jo,
sentencing her to a life of pain.
