DETROIT (AP) — A federal prosecutor from Florida who authorities say flew to Michigan for a sexual encounter with a 5-year-old girl tried to hang himself in his jail cell Thursday but was stopped in time, the county sheriff said.

John D.R. Atchison, 53, used a sheet in an attempted hanging around 4 a.m., said Sanilac County Sheriff Virgil Strickler.

Another inmate yelled out to jailers, who kept Atchison from hurting himself, Strickler said.

Why'd they stop him?

[liberalnurse]

1. No surprise there.

I can't wait until he gets housed in the "Jail Sandbox" . He will find like peers there.

For now, he will wear a Bam-Bam Suit. A Velcro strapped, quilted garb that just hangs on ya, while being butt-ass naked and barefooted. He will be visualized on a Post Jail cell where all can observe him 24/7....just a matt to sleep on, a sac lunch and soggy cookies to eat! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :woohoo: :applause:

2. I recall it being mentioned here that he appeared to be wearing a straight-jacket in his mug

It would appear that he's going to take the cowards way out if he can.

Meanwhile those little children he abused are damaged for life.

14. That garment was the Bam-Bam Jacket

Wonder how long he will last in the Big House being a child molester and a prosecutor?

3. I'm sure he was gentle. n/t

4. Let him do what he wants. n/t

[Sequoia]

5. The inmates want to have a go at him.

They do not like guys like him, gang up time and well deserved too. Sick mo fo.

6. That inmate knows as well as the pedophile what's waiting for him when he gets to prison.

From all I've read, the nastiest, creepiest, most murderous, thuggish inmates do NOT like the short-eyes guys, and they make their feelings known.

10. and the guards are known to turn a blind eye

... can't say I wouldn't either.

11. Don't forget, it's a pedophile *prosecutor* going to prison.

Protective custody 24/7 for the duration of the sentence...or else.

7. Are ALL Republicans and christofascists such cowards that they can't

face the consequences of their actions, or is it just the ones in positions of power???

Who was it that was doing all the yapping about "the politics of personal responsibility"?

[Forrest Greene]

8. Now, Was He Suicidal

...with guilt & remorse over all the children he so gently raped? Or because he got caught & can no longer dip his shriveled, perverted little prosecutor's wick?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[BadgerLaw2010]

12. Best case scenario for him is several years of solitary confinement, with public ruin. BEST.

Worst, well...they don't like prosecutors or child molestors in prison, so how do you think his odds look?

13. Will the Prison Rape Fetishists Stream on to this Thread?

All signs point to yes...
