Astronaut to Face Attempted Murder Count


A NASA astronaut accused of trying to kidnap a romantic rival for a space shuttle pilot's affections will remain in jail because authorities planned to charge her with attempted first-degree murder, an official said Tuesday.

"Even though she satisfied the bail for the other charges, she won't be released from jail," Moore said.

Nowak, a Navy captain and married mother of three, stood in a jail uniform during the hearing, looking down. The 43-year-old robotics specialist already faced charges including attempted kidnapping, attempted vehicle burglary with battery, destruction of evidence and battery.

An officer reported following Nowak and watching her throw away a bag containing the wig and BB gun. Police also found a steel mallet, a 4-inch folding knife, rubber tubing, $600 and garbage bags inside a bag Nowak was carrying when she was arrested, authorities said.

and what does 'the man between the women' have to say

[oasis]

1. They probably "over charged" her so she'd have a better chance for aquittal. (nt)

2. As somoene who follows NASA, and had heard of this astronaut before today... I'm shocked...

Not much shocks me, but this story is the weirdest thing I've heard in quite some time. This woman had everything. Education, career, family... And she threw it all away for an affair... Some people don't know how to appreciate all the things they're privileged to have...

3. Only in Amercia.....

Between the Aqua Teen bombs of Boston and this and say we're thiiiiis close to finally turning into Mike Judge's interpretation of America in "Idiocracy".

4. Is there a news dump from the WH expected today??

The MSM is covering this story non-stop.

:shrug:

[Beelzebud]

5. It's the first time an astronaut has been charged with a felony. It is big news...

[WI_DEM]

8. yes.

[madinmaryland]

14. Actually of the three networks, Faux was spending the least time on it.

Go figure.

Well, there was something about a missing white girl....

:hide:

6. Does something about this seem 'contrived' and or set up?

Something doesn't seem right here.

[Beelzebud]

11. It doesn't seem contrived or set up, but you're right about something not adding up.

What makes a person stable enough to become a real astronaut crack?

It's totally mind boggling that she got through NASA's psych tests without problems.

7. this is a very sad story.

[blueknight]

9. she must have

really liked riding his rocket:shrug:

[Blue_Roses]

10. what a strange story

How bizarre...

loses her career over a man...:eyes: when she's married of all things...:spank:

[kestrel91316]

12. I am thinking there will be a guilty plea to lesser charges down

the road.

Sheesh. This is exceptionally sordid.

13. well, they are pilots - pilots have a reputation
