It was just after lunch, our time, that it happened. We had a tv in a waiting area in our building and someone popped out from there to say that a plane had hit a skyscraper in New York. That was very tragic and dramatic news of itself but like everyone else we thought it was an accident until...

Aug 2015 From emmalpage81's link. Aug 2017 It's clearly been no picnic for the man.

That seems to have run out of steam at 5% of the target.

This is a good podcast. I didn't know that Molly's parents had a dinner to go to that evening, which they canceled at short notice in order to make the trip. That sort of detail is very damning when the Martens were trying to portray the visit as a spontaneous decision to hang out with the...

Leaving out murder itself (sounds ridiculous, I know), my reasons for disliking Tom Martens are: 1: There is no doubt that he's an arrogant man who both felt superior to, and disliked Jason (and yet was williing to take his money towards the wedding). 2: He took rent from Keith Maginn even while...

Anyone feel any sympathy for tom martens and if so why? I have a little but I am afraid it might be misplaced not least because I don't know as much about the case as many of the rest of you do.

I'd not heard of the Duke Lacrosse case before. What strikes me as really unfair is how the 88 academics who immediately jumped onto the bandwagon seem to have suffered no professional consequences whatsoever.

Great post (#576) stmarysmead. We are being manipulated all the time, everything we read is second-hand. I've watched making a murderer (MaM and and have come away convinced that Steven Avery is innocent. I still feel that way but then I watched 'The Staircase' and came away thinking Michael...

Also why wipe the bat clean of prints since Tom admitted to using it in the 911 call?

Thanks to stephandoody for the Irish mail page images. This is part I transcribed from the day Tom Martens testified and from its tone it's clear that the journalist Catherine Fegan, at least, wasn't impressed with him:

Thanks for this! That makes perfect sense and was a really clever move. Those cops and or lawyers were really smart. I read somewhere also that Tom Martens high opinion of himself as a former FBI agent possibly led to him underestimating and patronising the local cops. Looks like they actually...

Thanks Stephanddoody, i would love to read the articles you have there but the resolution is too low and when you magnify them it's all blurry, even with my nose to the screen!

I was wondering about some things. I read somewhere that the Sheriff's department interviewing Tom Martens just one time only, was deliberate. It also seems from his interview with ABC that both Tom Martens and Molly expected and wanted to be interviewed again. I wonder what were the...

Just want to add my thanks to the people of Davidson County and North Carolina as a whole who did so much to see that justice was done in this case. The words dedication, professionalism, humanity and decency are what come to mind and that applies to the sheriffs dept, the forensic people, the...
