Convicted Spammer, escapes from prison, kills his family, then kills himself.

This story is pretty darn horrible, and pretty unbelievable.

Edward Davidson is known as the “Spam King” he was sentenced to 21 months in jail and ordered to pay $714,139 to the IRS for spamming and tax evasion.

Apparently his wife helped him escape from prison. Once escaped he took a gun and shot her, their 3 year old daughter, a teenage girl, and finally himself.

I personally can’t see what was so bad, 21 months is hardly a jail sentence, I mean if Martha Stewart can do hard time…Maybe the fine was too much? Could’nt he just wait till he got out of prison, moved to a country that allows spamming, and made enough to pay off his debts and live peaceably?

Funny enough, he and his family just drove off from a minimum security prison – it don’t get any more ‘minimum security’ than that.

He went for some cash and a change of clothes and that’s when he turned the gun on the teenage girl, his wife, three year old, and finally himself.

A baby was found in the car seat unharmed. At least that much of it was a blessing.
