Has anyone watched this? http://www.blackbookmag.com/movies/watch-an-exclusive-clip-from-paradise-lost-1.43896
It's an out take of Baldwin's attorneys discussing the necklace tested for blood evidence in the original Paradise Lost 1. I finally understood why that necklace didn't make it into the trial..........
I've decided I'll watch PL3....I think.
It a shame the cases weren't severed. We'd surely know more.
I can't watch it. Let me know if it proves their innocence.
As I am pretty sure you will see in Purgatory, one of the parents is now an outspoken advocate for the freed men, believing them to be innocent and Terry Hobbs to be the guilty party. One of the parents of another victim believes the freed men to be innocent but is still unsure of who the guilty party is. Only the parents of one of the children still believe the freed men to be guilty, and they steadfastly refuse to look at the information uncovered since the original trials.
So cool. I went to the HBO website and watched some clips. I don't have HBO so won't be able to watch tonight, but I'll figure out a way to see it!
I am sure that the parents (Mrs. Byers has passed away) are still in pain, much more than any of us who write here could ever, ever comprehend.
This is why I am very uncomfortable with supporters opinions that Mr. Hobbs murdered his stepchild and Stevie's two little friends. Mr. Byers or supporters can't know that. And Stevie was his stepchild.
I was able to watch the Diane Schuler documentary online after it had been on HBO for awhile, so maybe this one will be available online somewhere like YouTube in the near future.
Actually Step parents (and parents alike) murder their kids all the time. Usually when a child is murdered it's by a family member or someone they know.
Examples: Casey Anthony, Kyron Horman, Zahra Baker etc.
Casey Anthony was found not guilty.
I have read that there are statistics for step-parents who have killed their step child but I have never read of a step parent who murdered his step child and the child's two little friends.
I think that's what threw the WMPD off too. They overlooked that if you loose your temper and do something that can get you into serious trouble in front of two witnesses, you automatically have a motive to get rid of the two witnesses.
