DiLorenzo Please Stop

In case you don't remember, or simply don't know, Raymond DiLorenzo is the Glens Falls man convicted of killing his estranged wife on February 20 2005. All he apparently remembers about that day is drinking a glass of orange juice at his apartment, but apparently doesn't remember driving to Cumberland Farms, pulling out a shot gun and shooting his estranged wife three times in the face as she sat in her car, while their 13-year-old daughter watched. What was in that orange juice anyway?

But later he must have realized that he did something wrong, because he was seen hitchhiking south on the northway, then west on the thruway and he was later arrested at a rescue mission in Syracuse New York. It took only four hours for a Warren County grand jury to hand up a five-count indictment against DiLorenzo. DiLorenzo's defense team had considered an insanity plea, but after a psychiatric evaluation, DiLorenzo was found competent, and he eventually pleaded guilty and received 25 years to life in prison for second degree murder.

But now old Raymond wants to take back his guilty plea and is appealing his sentence and conviction. DiLorenzo claims he wasn't given all his options before he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. His lawyers say DiLorenzo would have pleaded differently if he had known all of his options, which could've meant a lesser sentence.

I guess after the symptoms of remorse wore off, old Ray has decided that he doesn't want to spend time in prison anymore. I guess he believes he is reformed and has served his time. But all I have to say is this, "Raymond DiLorenzo, Please Stop Already. Stop Trying to take back your guilty plea. You knew what you were doing, you weren't in a state of temporary amnesia, you did what you did and thought maybe you could get away with it, but you didn't. This wasn't an accident, it was deliberate, and since there is no death penalty in this state, I'd say you got off pretty easy with 25 years to life. Just accept your sentence and make the best of the rest of your life. And stop trying to appeal!"
