Terminally Ill, Alleged Wife Killer
Weldon Gilbert Gets to Watch His Homemade Child Porn in Jail

That's where they found Gilbert's massive collection of child porn. Police say there were hundreds of homemade tapes and DVDs Gilbert shot that featured kids being raped and molested.
He's already been convicted on federal charges, but he still faces states charges from Washington. And either because he's broke and can't afford a lawyer -- or more likely because the evidence says he's a lock to be lit up again -- he's decided to defend himself this time around.
So because he's acting as his own lawyer, he gets full access to the evidence against him. Which means that as he prepares for trail, a private room as been set up in the jail where Gilbert can watch the full 30-hour archives of his own child porn collection.
On the surface, it would seem a wretched practice. It's just an open door for any convicted pedophile to file endless appeals, then be guaranteed the right to porn through his prison stay. It's not like he's unfamiliar with the evidence against him.
As prosecutors note, inmates aren't allowed to have their own cocaine if they're busted for dope, nor do they get to watch the TV they stole after being pinched for burglary.
Then again, it's never a good idea to impinge someone's legal defense, no matter how big of a degenerate they truly are. But we'd like to know what you think, dearest reader.

It looks like everyone is gone... I know I haven't been on here for 3 months... I thought I would be able to conversate with somebody who would remember me... Oh well, how is everyone doing today?
Child molesters are people, too. Just because they make you sick doesn't mean they should get their balls cut off. If you kill someone while driving recklessly you should have a steeper penalty than a child molester. If you even drive drunk, you should have a steeper penalty for putting other people at risk. Children can overcome the adversity of molestation. You don't get over getting decapitated by flying car parts.
I'm in support of not only cutting off their balls, but also their wangs (for obvious reasons), their hands (because penetration and other forms of molestation does not necessarily require a penis) and gouging out their eyes (I don't want them to even SEE a child, makes it harder for them to molest.) Tattoo PEDO on their forehead so parents and kids can see them them coming and know to avoid them. After that, torture is preferable, but not mandatory.
Also, I would like to add that molestation DOES effect a person for life. Research shows that an adult who was molested as a child is more likely to molest or choose a molester as their partner. And maybe a person won't come back from decapitation, but neither will they run around decapitating perfectly innocent people because they're too sick and twisted to do otherwise or gravitate toward executioners.
you have lost your fucking mind.... let us know if you have any children and if they get molested if you have the same opinion... there are way too many children that have been molested that have never gotten over it...
Either you're a pedophile yourself or one of those far-too-left, tree hugging, jandle wearing, 'well-meaning' dogooders with no real idea, responsible for recidivistic opportunity crimes. Whichever you have no effing idea what you're saying. In 30-years of contact with attempts to 'rehabilitate' these POS's I have seen or heard of NO 'cures'. Children DO NOT get over molestation...this I can assure you of again with all those years of experience. He is unworthy of the general rights of humans and should experience all the hell coming his way.
Nice. Great comment. O btw, hold onto your hat, I think I hear a shit storm headed your way. Dumbass.
No tolerate a lot of things in life, but bible thumpers, beast lovers and pedophiles are out. Sicko's got there own damn sites and need to stay there.
you undoubtedly have never known anyone that was molested as a child... might want to stay in your little bubble
TRUTH! My ass! "Dumbass" does not even begin to describe the vitriol I'm reserving for you if you persist with this overt bullshit. Back off now and admit you spoke a little too soon or the TCR gang will descend upon thee ::thunderclap::
It is better to endure these exceptional cases than change the system so that other citizens have less of a sound chance of legal defense. Do not erode justice for all to turn vigilante on one person.
Leprechaun
Here's how to deal with it. The Justice System needs to have special chips inserted in abuser's genitals and brain. These chips, when activated, produce a healthy electrical charge; convulsions and loss of muscle control. Access to these systems are provided to victims, victims' family members via an 800-telephone number. Allow the victims to view, via internet the perpetrator; thrashing, convulsing, screaming in pain and begging for mercy. Whenever the victim feels bad, has a bad dream, or wants revenge, they will be allowed to autodial, view, and actuate. This treatment should be available (or mandatory) for all in the prison to witness... It should make a difference. At least when the perpetrator says, "I'm sorry. I feel your pain"...he'll really mean it. The victims will be in control of the perpetrator...How often we hear, "I wish I could have done something about it". Now they may have a chance. So get busy and implement this treatment. It will be a potential "cure", and possibly a better prevention than an inexperienced conscience or an inept court.
that will only work on those parasites that are male. it will unfortunately not work on those who are female..as well as how would you stop them from somehow getting them removed? either by a medical staff or by a DIY form. or even those who claimed to be medically trained?.best spot for the male one is right at the base of the tip of his penis. since that is for many, the main site of nerves for him.
Ahem.
Just to remind everyone, he must be considered innocent until proven guilty. Yes, I know he was convicted in Federal court. That doesn't mean he is automatically guilty of whatever the crime the State tries him for (criminal acts are very specific).
Does that mean he should get to be alone with the evidence? Of course not. In fact, that would be highly inadvisable, since he would have a strong incentive to destroy it. He should watch it in a controlled place, under strict supervision.
But one of the foundations of this country is that we are innocent until proven guilty. It's not just words on paper, it's one of the core principles that separates Americans from everyone else on Earth, and part of makes this country great.
Yes, this guy is a scumbag. It doesn't mean we should throw out the Constitution in our search of some vengeance for his evil act(s).
I say let the pervo watch his kiddie porn.Because he's gonna be on the receiving end of the rape real soon in prison, so he'll have those kids he raped on the mind as he gets raped, and maybe now he'll see just how they felt when he did it to them.
And after a while, here's hoping they shank him.
Yes, someone who is accused of a crime has the right to defend himself and look at the evidence submitted against him. Why is this such a difficult concept for people to grasp? You're all fucking morons who don't deserve the rights and freedoms you enjoy.
Great... so he can watch the videos over and over and over again... poor kids....
Pedos deserve the death penalty!!!!!!
I can't believe they are allowing this.Is it right to allow a pedophile access to his own porn collection WHILE the idiot is in prison? You know exactly why he is doing this; so he can watch his little collection right before he gets all those years without it.Considering a Judge's morals, shouldn't he deny him access to child porn while in prison because he is a pedophile? Yes, it goes against the law if he denies him that if you act as your own lawyer (Idiot) but it's just not right, think of the children that was IN those videos, knowing he got to watch it while justice was being served and in jail.Personally, since they are allowing him to act as his own lawyer (again, idiot) then they should pull a Catherine Kieu Becker, that way, no harm done =D
no, it is not right. but we can not force him to have him get a lawyer to defend him..and since lawyers have the right to see what the evidence is. he hit upon that loophole to be able to view that sickening filth.
What the hell America? So many bullets paid for by your taxation but you can't find one for this guy?
Absolutely disgusting. Why have a trial at all? They found the porn in his house! Any fucking pervert that gets off by watching little kids is unfit to live. This guy knows he's guilty but now he's got unlimited access to feed his sick perversions. Ridiculous.
just realized something. this dude looks like my husband's late ex-father in law. at least a younger version of him.
That's some bullshit ...it's not right for anyone to watch it... U know what he did, he knows what he did...victimizing those poor kids again...I hope he is being monitored..the perv wants to get off and that's not right
What a sick fuck..I agree with torture and death being the best way to deal with these fuckers.
I think there're too many God damned fucking rights for prisoners and criminals. Close the loopholes and up fines and punishments to a more realistic level. Sick fuck should be chemically-castrated and get at least 20 years no parole.
What's to keep this guy from fucking with evidence? Or jerking off to it? Or whatever he's going to be doing with it...he knows what's on the tapes, probably has the shit memorized...this way he just gets to relive all the memories and icky shit he was doing while taping and watching it...Shoot 'em in the head...Pedos do not deserve to live....
I can't even believe this is true. I don't understand it, AT ALL. There better be somebody, somewhere, who is, at this very moment, changing laws or closing loopholes, or whatever it takes, to prevent this from happening again. This makes me sick, it is completely ludicrous! Like they said, you don't get access to the drugs you were arrested with! Although I guess anything is possible, after reading this. Next we'll be reading about loads of suspects, awaiting trial, who will try and use this as a precedent, to do the same thing. Disgusting!!!!!!!!!!
I'd hate to be the one to mop the other "evidence" out of that room after he's finished.
just make it illegal for inmates to have access to any porn. Isn't he breaking the law by watching child porn now? So what he filmed it, isn't this redistributing the porn? Disgusting...
It's evidence on his trial that he's defending himself in. As fucked up as it sounds he has a right to defend himself and on defending himself has a right to review the evidence against him. He found the loophole.
You know...I would hope there are a few lifers with nothing to lose that can somehow get to this piece of shit and beat him to a slow death..I honestly believe that it would be a good thing.
Its perfectly legal, but very wrong. Its up the the jury to use their brains...but that seems to be a thing of the past.
enjoy it while it last sicko...cause you are going DOWN, no matter what your pathetic excuse is and then no more of your tapes, no more of your freedom-and if the good folks of our great penal system are as unkind towards pedophiles as they are so often shown to be-there will soon be a lot less of you. good thing as the gumdrop shaped pervert could stand to shed a few pounds. how about all of them?
btw, have fun getting your teeth knocked out.
He found a loop hole. Now he gets 3 hots and a cot and all his kiddie porn. It's sick and disturbing.
Exactly. For someone accused of a crime to be able to see the evidence against them is a "loophole", not a fundamental principle of justice. People accused of crimes know what they did and how they did it, they don't need to see any evidence. Only people who don't know what they did need to see the evidence.
