Some may argue that solitary confinement is preferable to seven men packed into a 34-ft. RV, two twin beds in the back, 35 guns and ammo strewn about; the coarse companionship of murderers, rapists and the beater of a small child. But the Connally Seven had chosen a spectacular hideaway after one of them allegedly shot a policeman 11 times in Irving, Texas.
