A man convicted of stabbing a moviegoer with a digital thermometer and injuring two other men who tried to intervene after his companion was asked to turn off her cell phone at a Lancaster movie theater has lost his latest appeal.
The three-justice panel from California’s 2nd District Court of Appeal rejected Landry Boullard’s claim that he could not be convicted of attempted murder under the state’s current law. Boullard, now 52, is serving a state prison sentence of 40 years and four months to life.
He was convicted of one count each of attempted murder and possession of a firearm by a felon and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon involving the Feb. 27, 2010, attack on the moviegoer during a showing of the film “Shutter Island” at the Cinemark 22.
In its 19-page opinion, the appellate court panel noted that the moviegoer had asked Boullard’s companion to turn her cell phone off after she answered it and began talking during the movie. Boullard left the theater and returned later to stab the moviegoer in the neck, authorities said. He was identified through an anonymous tip and arrested less than three weeks later.
The thermometer — which had a five-to six-inch metal road — was found in the aisle of the theater, and was determined to be the same kind of thermometer used by students in an air-conditioning technician program that Boullard had attended, according to the appellate court panel’s ruling.
In 2012, a state appeals court panel rejected Boullard’s claim that there was insufficient evidence to convict him of assault with a deadly weapon involving a man who tackled Boullard following the attack on the moviegoer.
That appeal did not challenge Boullard’s conviction for the attempted murder of the moviegoer, who suffered permanent vision damage, or for assault with a deadly weapon on another man who struggled with Boullard after the attack.

It’s so sad that men can’t be men and teach our young boys how to grow up to be strong , positive men it’s all about take, take, take they don’t care if it’s a person’s life . When will it ever stop ❤️❤️
Dina says
The victim’s family wanted him to serve time but not that much time. They were appalled at how long the sentence was!
Dan says
His attorney used the wrong defense theory. The best defense in this type of crime is to say “I was only trying to take his temperature but he slipped” it is not illegal to take someone’s temperature in public
Michelle Wilson says
I believe this man has served his time. And has deeply regretted his actions. Who are you not to forgive says the Lord “haven’t I forgiven you of yours sins. So who are you not to forgive other’s of there sins”
Tim Scott says
No, he hasn’t ‘served his time.’ He has served about a third of his time. His appeal has brought him to the public eye, but that is not the same as having served his time.
Lame’o dim says
Ya!
Take it from time served Tim
Karl says
Please brush up on your spelling and syntax.
Gascon says
Poor thing
Daniel says
Jesus also sent some to the place of weeping and gnashing of teeth, which is where this temperature taking movie chef belongs. I hope someone uses a thermometer on him and see how he likes it. I’m sure someone already used a natural thermometer on him one made of flesh and did they get his temp.
Mrs. Miller 7981 says
It’s people like this who I’d like to get in their brain and see why the [removed] they do [removed]. There’s so much hatred and so many killers out there it makes me sad for my little ones. People seem to be getting sicker and sicker every day. I too am a felon. Did 3.5 years in prison. Got out 10 years ago, put myself thru school, married and had kids. Got an amazing job/career now. So it’s not being a felon that makes u who u are. It’s ignorant poeple like Mike who dont look past that one fact to see outside the box. I don’t know how I feel about this article, part of me wants to say it’s been 13 years so maybe he has changed, but the momma in me wants to say, [removed] no, I don’t wanna chance ever running into him or my kids running into anyone like him.
Tim Scott says
Guy gets in a petty confrontation, leaves, and comes back with a weapon…yeah, that’s someone that society needs to protect itself from. Maybe he’s changed, maybe he hasn’t, but it is reasonable to not put people at risk to find out.
Congrats on avoiding recidivism. I know full well how much the Mikes of the world wanted you to fail, so great accomplishment on your part.
ACE says
I BET HE’S LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING SOME MORE STABBING WHILE HE DOES HIS STRETCH…
OR MAYBE ONE OF HIS NEW PALS WILL SHIV HIM…
PROBABLY WON’T FIND ANOTHER MEAT THERMOMETER INSIDE THOUGH…

Mike says
I’m surprised Tim Scott is not out cheerleading for this guy and advocating for his release? Why so silent Time-Served-Tim?
Tim Scott says
Make wrong assumptions, get surprised. That seems to be your life Mike. Just like when you used to threaten me thinking you were anonymous.
Mike says
You think you know me Tim but we both know you really don’t. You’re only important in your own mind. And you are a felon. That is a verifiable fact.
Tim Scott says
Another verifiable fact is that before you realized the mistake you were making you posted a whole lot of boasts about your ‘great life.’ How superior Santa Clarita is to Palmdale in your opinion; how great you are for being on the county dole down at the fire station; how successful your side business was; the great ‘charity’ you started, though you didn’t mention that your family meeting the qualifications as beneficiaries was you main motivation. All those facts put together allowed people who know you to say “wow there’s really only one Mike that can be.” And you are so well liked that those people contacted me, apparently hoping I would bring you a bad end. I didn’t, but I noted that your “I’ll shut your pie hole” braggadocio melted away like urine running down your leg.
Moving right along.
Beeceee says
Ehhhh,
He don’t know Jack,
He’s always bluffing as well with us saying something about a thrift store or a bar that we own or something…
Guys a lame and trust me if he’d even at least get a little warmer with his wild assertions and predictions I’d congratulate him but his investigatory skills are garbage. Absolute garbage.
And trust me, I’ve giving enough info for this cuck to use.
So in the end, what does he do… he censors us with incessant crying to the mod.
Larry says
U still think the moderator is out to get u? Lol. We all make comments that regularly don’t get posted. I know u like to be on the conspiracy side of things ala MGT, but get over yourself. U aren’t special. Lol.
Tim Scott says
LOL…I have no interest in investigating. You claimed to have a business on 50th street and claimed that you had convinced your husbands to attack me, so I went to as many businesses on 50th Street as I could have reason to visit to identify myself and give them the chance…not that they should have needed it since they could just e-mail me to set up a meeting. Apparently they aren’t going to ‘prove their faithfulness’ by fighting fights that you pick.
As for Mike, I didn’t investigate him either. He claimed that he wanted to “shut my pie hole” and I posted an e-mail address so we could get together. He chickened out, but MULTIPLE people sent me e-mails telling me who he is and where to find him. That guy is certainly popular.
Meanwhile, you and Tweedledumber claimed that “your part” in your husbands’ attacking me was just finding me. So far, your mighty ‘investigation’ has turned up a name to dox that had been doxxed here before, and the stunning revelation that I have a criminal record…which I wrote a book about that I have done interviews to promote here and on local radio. Way to dig deep Sherlock.
Bee says
You just don’t get it,
It’s like having to fight off an attacking bum. You gotta do what you gotta do but you still don’t want to have that stench on you fist at the end of the day. Lol
Dan says
Only in the jungle must animals resort to anger and violence for they cannot articulate their thoughts, hence the question must always be which one are we?
Tim Scott says
LOL…”mma fighting”? You think the husbands ducked on the scissor twins call because they mistook me for an MMA fighter? That’s silly. Most likely they just figured it was time to move on to trophies.
Tim Scott says
Surprise often results when stupidity generates unrealistic expectations.
Tim Scott says
Mike’s too scared to even meet me in a public place…despite all those claims he used to make about how he would “shut my piehole.”
Hey, WTF...I'm the real Mike says
I used to be a fighter pilot
Garry Moore says
It’s To Tell The Truth.
Will the real fighter pilot please stand up.
Eugene Cernan says
I walked on the moon
Tim Scott says
I mooned on a walk.
R. Smith says
I invented the moon walk dance move.
N. Armstrong says
No, I invented the moonwalk.
R. Smith says
With all due respect, N. Armstrong, you may have walked on the moon, but I created a dance so smooth that it was stolen, yes stolen, by the King of Pop. I never received a dime for it either. The life of a true artist and man of the world is not for the faint of heart.
Moviegoer says
“…40 years and four months to life.”
That is Landry’s reparations.
Manny says
If there’s proof he murder the innocent victim… keep him in jail until he no longer can harm anyone……
Tim Scott says
The victim actually survived, but sure. Seems he was about 40 at the time, so the 40 year sentence should suffice.
Oyuki says
Keep him locked away for ever so he can learn he is no one more important than others and neither is his companion we don’t need thugs out in our streets never let him free.
