Secret agent man or sex fiend?
By Robert Moran
INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
In the bizarre world of Jeffrey Marsalis, who is on trial for allegedly drugging and date-raping seven women, he was a deadly secret agent with close ties to President Bush, according to his former fiancee.
Jessika Rovell, 30, told a Common Pleas Court jury today that the 34-year-old Marsalis:

- Owned a 9mm Beretta pistol, which he named "Priscilla," and would "talk to it as if he were Elvis."

- Claimed to kill people for the CIA, including a friend who went through secret-agent training, flunked out, and had to be killed on Marsalis' order because "he knew too much."

More at the link above...this guy used to walk around town in scrubs day and night. You tend to notice that b/c I wear them to the bank very occasionally or to grab lunch...but you don't walk the streets like this guy did routinely. Creep.

1. You know what I find astounding? Check out this part...

You believed all of that?" asked Kevin Hexstall, one of Marsalis' lawyers.

"Yes, I did," said Rovell, now a Center City lawyer and an intelligence officer with the Naval Reserve.

4. I can sympathize, actually.

As I've mentioned in this thread, I once knew
someone almost EXACTLY like this (maybe actually him).

And looking back to when I knew him, as I've done
more than a few times, I really have no explanation
for why I ever believed the crap he said. And I DID
believe it, for awhile there.

Sure, his ridiculous lies sound very silly NOW, but
back then they all seemed to be perfectly reasonable...
and to this day, I cannot explain WHY.

Imagine dreaming of talking to a ten-legged dog.
You don't say, "hey, dogs don't have ten legs" until
you wake up. In the dream, it seems normal and ordinary
and it just doesn't occur to you to wonder about it...

That's kinda what this guy was like. Until I woke up.

2. Is there a PICTURE anywhere? I think I might know this guy.

Just the quick blurb gave me a flashback.

And everything else in the article sounds just
like him, and all his bizarre bullshit.

I'm gonna go do some Googling.

3. Found one. I can't tell if it's the guy I knew.

Might be- it's been a few years now, and he
always had a beard when I knew him, but it
might be the same guy.

Same hairline, different cut.

Similar face, if he's lost weight.

I don't even know why I care- I guess it
would just be nice to think that the POS
I knew is now safely behind bars somewhere.

I had some photos of him, but I destroyed them
a few years back when I came across them- I didn't
even feel comfortable with a PICTURE of him in my house.
