Murder Defendant Works Out to Get Fit to Stand Trial
JACKSON, Mich. (DPI) - Charlie "Boo-Boo" Mellon, 37, accused in the
murders of as many as 16 young women in three Midwestern states, has
been exercising diligently in hopes of being declared fit to stand
trial, his lawyer said. "Charlie is in good spirits, eating well and off
suicide watch now," said public defender Albert Chen. "He's spending as
much as three hours a day working off excess pounds in preparation for
what he expects to be a fun trial."
Mellon, whose brutal attacks left such grisly crime scenes
that coroners nicknamed him "Charlie Face-Eater," said he got out of shape because of his appetite. "You'd be surprised how fattening warding off the devil-creatures can
be," he said. "My tris and delts are
in pretty good shape from all the sawing, but I really need to take care
of this paunch. I've been getting a real
brain-belly."
Chen said that should Mellon be declared fit to face a jury and a possible death penalty, his client has offered to "help keep the
bat-monsters from grabbing the jury's souls with his laser karate kick
and biting."
