Robert (Michelle) Kosilek
It appears that the internet reporting has dropped to new lows as the media this week pounded the net with the tantalizing tidbits on Robert Kosilek a crossdressing killer getting a mammogram at the expense the the Massachusetts’ taxpayers.
Since Mr. Kosilek’s stint in prison began taxpayers have been paying for him to receive hormone injections, electrolysis, bras and now finally mammograms paid for by the taxpayer (he’s still hoping that the State will pay for his sex change operation)
Mr. Kosilek has been claiming that he is at a risk for suicide if the court doesn’t order the sex-change surgery he is looking for.
In this frenzy of media coverage that Mr. Kosilek receives as he continually takes the State to court to grant him his rights, the media seems to have forgotten Cheryl Kosilek, the murder victim in this case.
“My best friend has been killed, and they think I did it,” the sobbing spouse told reporters in May 1990, while police searched a Mansfield condo for evidence to link him to her slaying. He allegedly strangled her with the wire from a hanging planter, dumped her body in the back seat of her car, and abandoned the car at a mall in North Attleborough.
“I didn’t do it. Of course I didn’t. . . . I didn’t do anything to her. I couldn’t do that to anyone.” sobbed Kosilek
He shaved his beard and fled the state a few hours later. When police pulled him over on charges of speeding and driving drunk in New Rochelle, N.Y., the weepy fugitive told an officer: “I can’t call my wife. I murdered my wife.” Then he fought extradition.
Brought back to Massachusetts five months later, Kosilek challenged the state’s request for a psychiatric evaluation at Bridgewater State Hospital because, he said, he had been dismissed two years earlier for turning in guards who were abusing inmates.
It was true he’d been dismissed from the State Hospital, but not for the reason he had asserted. Kosilek was canned from the state Department of Correction facility for not mentioning on his job application the small matter of having served three years in prison in Illinois for theft and attempted burglary.
When he wasn’t lying, Kosilek was crying. He cried at opening statements of his 1993 murder trial when his lawyer acknowledged that he had killed his wife, but that he must have done so in self-defense after Cheryl Kosilek had thrown tea at him. He said a drug- and alcohol-induced blackout had robbed him of a more precise memory of the crime.
It took the jury about 3 1/2 hours to convict him of first-degree murder.
By the time of his trial, Robert had changed his name to Michelle, had grown his hair past his shoulders, and had begun to dress as a woman. He sued the Bristol County sheriff, Donald Nelson, saying Nelson had denied him access to female hormones and, when that failed, he launched a write-in campaign for sheriff from his cell, representing what he called the “New Woman Party.”
In 2002, US District Court Judge Mark Wolf acknowledged that Kosilek “has a serious medical need which is not being properly treated,” and ordering the state to provide regular psychotherapy. Kosilek has been receiving daily female hormone injections while incarcerated.
In 2008 Michele once again dragged everyone back to court complaining that her body was becoming masculine again because she’s being denied estrogen treatment in prison. Michelle, formerly known as Robert, wrote a letter to her judge, saying her “breasts have shrunk, genitals have regained previous size and function, facial hair is thicker, and scalp hair is thinner, all related to an elevated testosterone level.”
Enough is enough already. Every taxpayer in Massachusetts is hoping that the f…..king mammogram squeezes the shit out of his tits!
