I seriously can't believe we're talking about "occult motives" as evidence that DE committed these crimes.
Ditto
That's all they had when they convicted him along with a ridiculous confession anyways.
Exactly. I would like it if someone could point out
not by citing a website all of the "evidence" against Damien that is constantly referenced. There's Jessie's statements, all of which have glaring errors. There's the fibers, which, as I have explained, have now been debunked. There's "Exhibit 500," which proves
nothing and, since it was
not used to convict, IMO has
no place in the discussion. There's the "evidence" of the softball girls, which, IMO, is spurious at best and outright lies at worst. There are statements from various Hollingsworths, supposedly placing him in the area where the bodies were discovered, which I give no weight to, especially in light of the new affidavits, since LG Hollingsworth was initially a suspect (albeit briefly, as
his alibi from family and friends was accepted). What there is
not is
any credible physical evidence linking Damien (or Jason or Jessie) to the scene. IMO, given the violent nature of the crime, there would be some physical evidence, and, in fact, there
is, but it is
not connected to Damien, Jason or Jessie.
Connect him to the victims and the crime, show me some sort of actual evidence .
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
If those who still believe Damien, Jason and Jessie to be guilty were totally honest, what has them convinced is Jessie's statements. If Jessie was telling the truth, I, too, would believe in their guilt. However, Jessie is
not telling the truth,
no matter how many times he tells his tale.
He was a mentally challenged kid looking for the reward money so he could buy his daddy a truck when he entered the police station. He became confused, due to his mental handicap, by the intense police interrogation tactics
no matter how long those tactics continued and, again due to his mental handicap, told them what he thought they wanted to hear, maybe even what they told him, but (of course) didn't record. In the end, in his confusion, he even implicated himself!
Jessie's statements simply do not match the forensics at the scene. Although as time passed, particularly after Jessie sat in the courtroom and heard the prosecution present their theory at his trial, Jessie's statements became more accurate, but
none of his statements, including those done post conviction are accurate enough, IMO, to convict the three teens
beyond a reasonable doubt. That is the bottom line, IMO. Again, IMO, this discussion of Damien's supposed "occult" motives is time wasting at best and ridiculous at worst. MOO
