CHARLES "BUCK" THURMANAS SEEN IN:
"A Cry For Help: The Tracey Thurman Story"
AS PLAYED BY:
Dale Midkiff
In 1983 Charles “Buck” Thurman was sentenced to 20 years in prison after his brutal attack on his wife Tracey Thurman led to a $1.9 million suit against the Torrington, Connecticut police. In the Torrington case, Thurman was found guilty of stabbing his wife 13 times, stomping on her head, and partially paralyzing her for life.
Thurman was released from prison in 1991 after serving only nine years of the twenty year sentence. In 1999 a woman Thurman was living with in Northampton, Massachusetts, and mother of their child, fled the state accusing him of repeatedly choking and sexually assaulting her.No criminal charges were filed as she only asked for a restraining order to keep him away from her. The order was issued, she returned to Massachusetts and Thurman, who has a long history of ignoring court orders, violated this latest order.
Thurman pleaded guilty only to violating a restraining order. A judge placed Thurman on probation for a year. He ordered Thurman to participate in any counseling ordered by the probation department and ordered him to comply with the restraining order against him.
This was the only action taken by the judge despite the fact that Charles “Buck” Thurman is a chronic violent abuser who has a history of beating women and ignoring court orders. Buck Thurman had a restraining order against him and he was on probation when he beat and stabbed Tracey Thurman and traumatized her for life.- Richard L. Davis

ReplyDeleteFirst of all, this took place in Connecticut, and not in Massasachusetts-
ReplyDeleteThe case against him for beating his wife took place in Connecticut. The Northhampton, Massachusetts reference is to a later case involving another woman.

I am from waterbury Conn, this happened in Torrington which is about a half hr from were i grew up. I remember this, it was bad and its true this case was a icon for law enforcement it was and i believe still is used to teach new officers and 911 dispatchers in Connecticut. The city of waterbury, Thomaston and Torrington used it for there polce explorer programs also.
ReplyDeleteWho in their right mind would even date/marry him after that? What, he changed? Men like him never change. Or care to.
