Rebecca Schaeffer's Killer Stabbed

Killer Robert John Bardo, who was convicted of stalking and killing actress Rebecca Schaeffer in 1989, was stabbed by another inmate yesterday. Bardo was stabbed 11 times while he and fellow inmates were walking to breakfast in the prison yard, according to Mule Creek State Prison officials. He survived the attack.

Schaeffer was the star of the 1980s sitcom "My Sister Sam." Bardo was obsessed with Schaeffer and stalked her for several months. He eventually tracked her down with the help of a private detective, and shot her to death when she answered the door of her L.A. home. She was 21.

The suspect identified as responsible for stabbing Bardo is serving an 82-years-to-life sentence for second-degree murder. Bardo was 19 when he stalked and killed Schaeffer. He is serving life without parole. The case led to the classification of stalking as a felony in California.

I wish someone would get John Daugherty in the Nebraska State Penal Complex. He murdered his son, my best friend for NO REASON other than he (John) was a crazy drunk who repeatedly got away with pulling guns on people in his times of drunken, unprovoked rage. The crooked law here let him continue walking the streets until he finally took a life (that he was actually caught for). Scott Daugherty was the best friend I will ever have. It's been 6 years and I'm crying now just thinking about it. I don't feel there was justice. A little boy lost his father that day. Some of us are left with broken hearts that can't be mended.

I dedicate this to you, Scott. I love you so much.

Seanflynn, #52, you have NO IDEA what it's like. My best friend's murderer is playing cards and shooting hoops in prison. He's still alive. He has no remorse. HIS SON whom he MURDERED, is in the ground. So just shut the hell up already. You do not know how it feels.

If you wish to comment on what I say then good fro you if you to comment on how I type it then you must not have anyrhing better to do. Aain you have the ability to skip my comments and not read them if they are to long and difficult for you to handle.
As far as seanflynns most recent comment it is easy to "TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD IF IT EVER HAPPENED" however until it does happen you do not truelly no how you would react. Again please do not interpert my comments to mean I support the death penalty because I do not I support harsher prisons.

it is too bad that spears. lohan etc..... can't learn something from how to live from this young woman. lindsay is the same age as rebecca was when she was killed, and look how she is acting. of course i realize different family situations and different growing up experiences, but lindsay and britney could take a lesson from rebecca on how to live.

BruceLd and emme I did not realize that you two were perfect. If you only read my comment to correct my typing errors please forgive me for being in a hurry to add my comments so as to get on with my life outside of the computer which you obviously do not have. Please feel free to copy and paste my comment and correct for me teacher. I was unaware that I was in school. Silly me for thinking I was only posting a comment as the rest of you do.

"But the blood-thirsty, callous way most supporters defend it shows them to be filled with the same streak of violence and desire to kill that actual murderers have.
Disgusting and totally uncivilized."
********************************************************************************
That reasoning is just ridiculous. You are a bleeding heart liberal, aren't you? Or an "actual murder", as you seem to know the desires of one.

I remember him well. He was so excited after the shooting. I will never forget the interview with him where he explains what she said when she answered the door, the sound she made when he shot her and how he felt about it all. SICK SICK, SICK! I hope he got a big taste of pain with his stabbings. Now he might really know what she felt like.

I don't think all murders have a desire to kill; killing is just one of the things they do in their life of evil.

UNBELIEVABLE: 1661 days ago

my family actually has discussed how we would react if any of us were murdered. We agreed together that we would ask for life imprisonment, not death.

Posted at 2:35PM on Jul 28th 2007 by seanflynn

I respect your view. If someone in your family is murdered and you want to send them roses that's up to you. But if someone in my family were murdered I would want the death penatly. No one wants to die. Ask anyone on death row - that's why they keep appealing. But they didn't have the heart to think about that when they are raping , torturing and brutally killing poor women or children. Heck even poor men.

Accidental murder is totally different. But stalking or raping and torturing sorry they deserve what ever the family of victim wants.

That man is pure evil, and deserves to die. Why do liberals want to keep evil alive?
