When she glanced at the front of the house, he was standing in a large window. Where was she that she had to move to the sidewalk? If on his property, she had no business being there at all.

At 8:40, people outside are visible, and a person inside has to go to a door or window to be seen. This may or may not change things. If the original sighting was accidental, no harm, IMO, but he may have then intentionally exposed himself. My guess is we will never know for sure. Sounds like a combination of someone being too damned nosy combined with someone that went a step further just to antagonize or shock. |

The guy was clearly showing himself, and this was no case of someone just getting a look through a window. Part of the testimony: A few hours later, Yvette Dean was walking her 7-year-old son to school along a trail that runs by Williamson's home. She heard a loud rattle, looked to her left and saw Williamson standing naked, full frontal, in a side doorway. "He gave me eye contact," Dean said, but otherwise made no gestures toward her or her son. |

They have also stated multiple times, that there is no privacy interest involved in what can be seen from a public area. Thus, anything from the sidewalk is not private (although in case maybe it should be. My favorite follow-up in this one is the photographer who tried to convince the judge that it was not a privacy issue because the ladder he used to look over the wall was on the sidewalk.

When we're walking through our neighborhoods, we should stare straight down at the sidewalk. Not look side to side. Not even to cross the street. Maybe we should start making those things they made for horses that cut off their peripheral vision. Maybe glasses with those tiny slits like they wear in the Arctic. Yeah, that ought to do it.

They have also stated multiple times, that there is no privacy interest involved in what can be seen from a public area. Thus, anything from the sidewalk is not private (although in case maybe it should be. My favorite follow-up in this one is the photographer who tried to convince the judge that it was not a privacy issue because the ladder he used to look over the wall was on the sidewalk. The judge was less than amused. There was the little old lady who complained to the police about a naked couple frolicking about their yard. When the police showed up and said they couldn't see the couple, the little old lady handed them her binoculars. TDD |

The guy was clearly showing himself, and this was no case of someone just getting a look through a window. Part of the testimony: A few hours later, Yvette Dean was walking her 7-year-old son to school along a trail that runs by Williamson's home. She heard a loud rattle, looked to her left and saw Williamson standing naked, full frontal, in a side doorway. "He gave me eye contact," Dean said, but otherwise made no gestures toward her or her son. Ii only tread the first part, where it said this was 05:30 AM.

How often does one stand naked in the window, singing loudly enough for
passing drivers to take notice? I believe that all of us can remember the times we have been naked in a "public" place, even if it was to take a shower by a creek deep in the woods while camping. Well, not all of us, but most of us. I certainly know that when I am naked, I fully arrange the situation ahead of time so that I don't accidentally flash anyone. And in those situations where I am suddenly aware that I am in view by accident, I end the situation quickly. This man did just the opposite, arranging things, and doing things to attract attention. I predict that he will follow this obsession, but the next time, the judge will hit him with the full Monty. He's like a child molester. He won't change. Steve |

As with so many things. More information comes available,
later, and the situation is seen in a different light. My original opinion was that the woman and child had crossed his yard, and were trespassing at early AM. This further writing suggests the fellow was exhibitionist. I wonder how many times a day this (lack of information; learn more later) happens to me? More than I know, I'd dare to guess. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "willshak" wrote in message m...

As for hanging him, reports are that he was hung. At least enough to be willing to show off. If he was exposing himself and attracing attention, that is wrong, but if it was accidental, different story. We'll probably never know for sure. |

I wouldn't dare walk around naked, people would call the zoo and report an escaped ape. Those tranquilizer darts hurt like hell. TDD |
