i checked the NE department of corrections and he is out on parole

I don't think he should have ever gotten out. Do you know how many years he served?

from 1994-2002

Well he was either found guilty of or took a plea bargain to manslaughter, he was sentenced to I believe the near maximum for that, I want to say it was 18 or 19 years he was sentenced to but you have to remember his parole was based on laws from 1986 or 1987 which were more easy, so he was paroled after 8 years, I think he first actually became eligible for parole after only doing 2 or 3 years but I am trying to remember what it said about Webb because it has been a long time since I checked the Nebraska DOC site.

I imagine they let him plead down to manslaughter because of a couple of factors, the amount of time that had passed since the crime had been committed and also because while people can speculate it would be hard to prove that it was pre meditated which is what you need to get a first degree murder conviction.

Now for 2nd degree murder which is where you have intent but not pre meditation that seems like Webb could have been convicted on that, but like I said, I do not know if Webb took a plea bargain to voluntary manslaughter or if he took it to trial but the jury wasnt comfortable enough to convict him of either 1st or 2nd degree murder but they felt he was guilty and wanted to give him something so they convicted him of manslaughter.

I say 2nd degree murder would have been the appropriate conviction, the pre meditation required for first degree murder would be hard to prove and if I were on a jury I would not have been comfortable convicting Webb of that, 2nd degree is what I would have gone for, the big reason is, if it was just manslaughter, why cover it up? Why get rid of the body and try to act like nothing happened?While Greg Webb I do not think planned on killing her I do think he intended on doing something and maybe he got carried away, so 2nd degree murder in my opinion would have been the most appropriate conviction but what is done is done.

Look at Mary Winkler in Tennessee where she shot her husband in the back while he was sleeping and got acquitted of first and 2nd degree murder and got convicted of voluntary manslaughter.

Greg Webb a free man? Boo! Hiss!

At least he won't be able to get a job in law enforcement again.

Was he the cop that murdered the woman who rented from him? The one he left naked in a field? What was her story by the way? Wasn't she posing to be "crippled" and rightous but actually a bar fly? I always thought her double lifestyle had something to do with her murder.

What's Boo! hiss! from Wiseguy? Cracks me up :lol:

From my understanding, Anna Anton (the victim's name... I think) really WAS disabled. She had to walk with a cane. However, she did present two sides to herself. She was very religious and, according to a friend, even sprinkled holy water on the steps leading up from her apartment to Greg Webb's apartment. However, she was also a "bar fly," so to speak. I believe she met Greg Webb while hanging out in the bar.

I don't think her double lifestyle necessarily had anything to do with her murder. I always thought it was her relationship with Greg Webb that did it. It seemed to me that Webb was kind of a "ladies man" and it seemed like Anna was NOT cool with that situation. All around, it was just a bad scene.

Jazz and liquor... looks like Billy Flynn from Chicago was right. :D

What's Boo! hiss! from Wiseguy? Cracks me up :lol:

It means that I strongly object to his release.

I realize that, but what's it from? It sounds familiar to me!

Oh, I believe it was coined by one of my heroes: Alfred Hitchcock

What I don't get is why Anna would make up all that stuff about her being extremely religious and her ex-husband being a drug dealer? And what was it in that letter she gave to her friend, Shirley I believe? :confused:

However I did find that 'sprinkling holy water bit' extremely hilarious :D

I think the idea was that she was moving to the small town to hide out. People already wondered why anyone would move to such a small place unless they already had ties there. With so much attention drawn to her just for moving there, she wanted to "publically" look like she was this religious, caring, normal, sweet person. That way people would leave her alone.

She obviously had her own issues in addition to the Gregg Webb situation. That is one story that got weirder the more it was investigated.

I agree about the holy water by the way. There is trying to look like a good person, and then there is going too far. She went too far. ;)

Did you guys ever notice that this is one of those fairly rare UM segments where they never show an actual photo of the victim?

Hey, wow! Good point!

Now I'm gonna wonder what she REALLY looked like...

Huh... I never noticed that. Interesting point, CD!

Well, this wasnt the only case where they didnt show an actual photo of the victim, the Dr. Richard Boggs segment, where Ellis Henry Green was murdered, those photos were not actually him but an actor, they did show the actual photos of Green in a recent forensic files segment though, very interesting.

Whoa wait! The dude on the floor was an actor? Maybe that's why the picture didn't scare me. ?

Greg Webb is a murderer.

Gregory J Webb, the murderer, lives in Clarksville, TN on the same street as a sex offender. Fitting.

Interesting, a UM fan must have created this page for him. Does anyone have a picture of Anna Anton?

Actually, I think Greg Webb had another girlfriend while he was romantically involved with Anna and he was having sex with his girlfriend upstairs and making noise and Anna believed that Greg was committing a sin by having sex outside of marriage, so she sprinkled holy water up the stairs.

That seems a strange place for him to have gone. What's in Clarksville besides Ft Campbell?

He probably went there to relocate to some rural community to start over where no one would know who he is or would not care who he is.

that's the south for ya lol

A northern rural community would be the same way.

Pretty much. I've never understood why the South is responsible for a stereotype found in every single area of the U.S.

Yes I did notice that- I tried to find a picture of her because I wanted to know what she looked like- but I never found anything other than pictures from the UM segment :(

Ridiculous that Webb was released! Doesn't matter how many people a person kills, how brutal the crime was or what the motive was...it is still MURDER and he should never be let out!

Probably because the American South takes every stereotype and pushes it past its logical extreme. And yes...I lived in the South for six years, so I did see this many times,firsthand.

Almost every prison in the US is full to overflowing w/ prisoners. Some are having to release prisoners as mandated by court orders. Since running a prison is an expensive and dangerous enterprise, how do you propose that we mitigate the costs, avoid the inevitable lawsuits and still run a functioning prison system by keeping people "locked up forever?"

Manditory death sentences for murder in the first degree.

Ok. While that eventually might clear up the "backlog" of 1st degree murderers, that represents a tiny fraction of inmates in any penal system. What about the rest of the incarcerated?

I wasn't aware of that- in Australia it's very different. But there's still no excuse for murder!

How about releasing people held for drug offenses first?

Did Greg Webb serve his full sentence? Or was he released on parole? Either way - let him get out and get a job and support the community with taxes rather than the taxpayers supporting HIM.

No easy answers but if he served his sentence.......

Where abouts? Nevermind, you don't really have to tell me because it really doesn't matter. The south is the south....and that's where I am now, only a few hours away from TN via automobile.

Maybe I should go knock on his door for the helluvit.

I have lived in NC, Georgia and I have visited family in Mississippi many times.

There are plenty of intelligent, compassionate and honest people in the South.Unfortunately I didn't meet many of them.
