LINCOLN, Neb. (March 18) - A Chicago woman has been granted a marriage license to marry one of the killers portrayed in the movie "Boys Don't Cry."
Justine Mirth, 32, says she can't wait to marry Tom Nissen, who is serving life in prison for the 1993 slayings of three people in a farmhouse in southeast Nebraska.
"I'm dying to go see him. I want to hold him," she said. "He's the man I love. I want to spend the rest of my life with him."
The crime inspired the award-winning 1999 movie starring Hilary Swank, who played one of the victims, 21-year-old Teena Brandon, who was born a woman but lived as a man in southeast Nebraska under the name Brandon Teena.
The couple have never met in person. Mirth and Nissen have learned about each other through long letters and scores of 15-minute phone calls - the maximum allowed by the prison. Continue at link.....
