After reading the new allegations that Terry Hobbs may have had help from David Jacoby, L.G. Hollingsworth and Buddy Lucas, I re-read David Jacoby's statements from 2007 and 2009 (found on callahan).
Next I transcribed his statements made in the documentary "West of Memphis". This consisted of a discussion with John Douglas, profiler for the FBI, and a phone conversation with Terry Hobbs.
Mr. Jacoby's statements have changed with each re-telling. In his 2007 statement to the police, he says Terry came by to play guitars and that Terry had told Stevie to be home before dark. After playing an hour Terry left with Amanda (although he waffled on this quite a bit), then came back for David's help.
In David's 2009 declaration in the Hobbs v. Pasdar suit, he claims he saw the boys in Terry Hobbs presence as Terry arrived at his house to play guitars. This time he was "90%" sure Terry left Amanda behind.
Then in his West of Memphis interview with John Douglas he claims Terry came over with Amanda "looking for Stevie". But for some reason David delayed Terry by requesting he show him how to play some music. After a while, Terry left saying "I need to go look for Stevie". No mention of Amanda, although I am sure this is not the entire interview.
One thing I find interesting is how Jacoby describes the interview with John Douglas to Terry Hobbs.
Terry: Hello?
David: Hey. Had me a visitor today, John Douglas.
Terry: John's the FBI. What'd he say?
(Note: Terry didn't ask what John wanted, or what David told him, only what did John Douglas say.)
David: Just a bunch of discrepancies on where I said we were and where you say we were at and it just...
Terry: I don't give a (bleep) what them people got to say about where I was at and what time I was there. We don't have to answer to them people.
(Note: David uses the word said to describe himself, and as we noted he has changed his story several times. I have not compared it to Terry's statements to see if he has stuck to his timeline, but he uses the word say to decribe Terry.)
(Note: I find it interesting in light of the newest allegations that Terry uses the word "we" after talking about himself.)
Does the evidence support the theory that more than one man may be responsible for the murders? We certainly thought the placement of the bodies (Michael Moore being further away) supported the WM3. If you take out all evidence of WM3 (Jessie's confession), could the crime have been committed by two men, or even four men?
I am going to compare Terry Hobbs statements, and re-read Hollingsworth's and Lucas' and comment further.
