Disgraced former official Tim Donaghy is finding out why they call it prison:
Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy was attacked in prison by a fellow inmate who claimed he had ties to the New York mob, a spokesman for Donaghy said Thursday.
The attacker hit Donaghy in the right knee with a stick or club in November at a minimum security federal prison camp in Pensacola, said Pat Zaranek of Executive Prison Consultants.
Donaghy, who pleaded guilty in New York to conspiracy to engage in wire fraud and transmitting betting information through interstate commence, is serving a 15-month sentence.
“Verbally, there was a comment made that they were going to shoot him in the head and break his knee caps,” Zaranek said.
Question: what is the point of breaking someone’s knee caps after you’ve shot them in the head? I’m no Paulie Walnuts, but it seems to me you would want to break the guy’s knee caps first, then shoot him in the head, so he would actually feel the pain of the knee cap breaking before experiencing the sudden onset of oblivion. In no way do I mean this as a criticism of the individuals doing the knee cap breaking and head shooting, by the way. I submit the question as an uninitiated individual seeking to learn more about the workings of the criminal mind. If, in fact, the criminal minds we’re dealing with can be said to work at all.
