Harkening back to a time when hurricanes are given only numbers and not names, we will review the storm that became known as The Gale of 1878. I often look at the events that I cover as events that have helped shape Delmarva as we know it, but that normally deals with how it impacted individual families and the community emotions see, thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs. While this storm most likely did all of these things, it did literally help shape Delmarva. join me in the first part of and at least two part series as we recount the stories, lives, and destruction that the storm brought.

This episode will focus on some stories that have happy endings. I know that many times when we turn on the news, go to a newsfeed or listen to a podcast, we expect the worst. Today, we will look at events that turned from potential tragedies to eternal gratitude.

This episode will review the death penalty sentence of John Thanos, convicted of 3 murders, armed robberies and kidnappings. While Thanos himself did not want to file appeals, others filed ones on his behalf. He was diagnosed with a mental health disorder, and doctors testified for both the defense and prosecution regarding his competency. Did he truly know right from wrong? If he wanted to die, is that a sign that he was in fact suicidal?
And what about his victims? Their loved ones? And the amount of pain and grief that he caused to them? How should that play a role in sentencing?
The death penalty is a polarizing and sensitive topic. There are way too many points of discussion to ever be able to thoroughly discuss regarding the death penalty in general, but I will try to cover as many as possible in how they pertain to this particular case.

Today we will review the case of John Thanos, in this first of two parts. He took 3 lives, kidnapped another 2, and shot another. This is a very interesting case. Admittedly, the crimes cross over from Delmarva, to Western Maryland, then back to Delmarva again, then back…. It shows how important cooperation between law enforcement agencies is. It shows how childhood trauma stays with a person forever. It shows that there are people who have no remorse for their vile actions. It also brings up a debate about punishment vs. rehabilitation and reignite the debate that stokes fierce emptions and feeling regarding capital punishment.
