One less cruel, heartless, manipulative woman on the planet:
By MITCH STACY, Associated Press Writer 17 minutes ago TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. - A woman convicted just weeks ago of being the "D.C. madam" hanged herself Thursday, apparently making good on her vow never to go to prison for running a high-end Washington prostitution ring.
 The body of Deborah Jeane Palfrey was found in a shed near her mother's manufactured home about 20 miles northwest of Tampa. Police said the 52-year-old left a suicide note, but they did not disclose its contents. The mother found Palfrey, who had apparently hanged herself with nylon rope from the shed's ceiling. A federal jury convicted Palfrey on April 15 of running a prostitution service that catered to members of Washington's political elite, including Sen. David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican. She was convicted of money laundering, using the mail for illegal purposes and racketeering. Channing Phillips, the spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in the District of Columbia, said that under sentencing guidelines, Palfrey faced 57 to 71 months in prison. She was free pending her sentencing July 24. Prosecutors said Palfrey operated the prostitution service for 13 years. One of the escort service employees was former University of Maryland, Baltimore County, professor Brandy Britton, who was arrested on prostitution charges in 2006. She committed suicide in January before she was scheduled to go to trial. Palfrey said last year that she, too, was humiliated by her prostitution charges, but said: "I guess I'm made of something that Brandy Britton wasn't made of."

Just because something looks like a suicide, doesn't mean it IS a suicide. | |

Funny how he didn't even get censured for his involvement with prostitution, yet it's okay that she is dead becaue she was a pronographer and a prostitute? You Christians certainly are unforgiving. | |

Because a few cops say so? Good God, they were saying it was suicide when the body was still warm. What looks like a suicide may not be a suicide, so I'm waiting for the autospy - and there should be one. Keep me updated. | |

Lust is really just fornication. He who engages in sex sans the holy bond of matrimony, between one man and one woman, shall be cast it the Lake of Fire. | |

Why is it always men who are so vocal about the "sin" of fornification the first ones that get busted in a sleazy hotel room engaging in it? HA | |
