You do realize that Jerry Driver resigned from the WMPD, moved to Florida and ended up doing time for a felony, right? IIRC, it was extortion or fraud. Whatever it was, it kinda discredits him as a witness, wouldn't you say? As far as how many teens were committed to a mental health facility by or because of Driver, those types of medical records are confidential.
So, unfortunately, there's no way to verify how many teens he was responsible for having committed. Damien just said that later he talked to "many" teens who had had less than satisfactory encounters with Jerry Driver. Usually, if the boys refused to grant him sexual favors, Driver would have them thrown in jail, which could later land them in the nut house.
I don't deny that Damien would possibly have benefited from mental health treatment at the time of the murders. Most teenagers would! However, as I have said repeatedly, he could be crazy as a bedbug, but that doesn't make him a murderer. His past mental health issues made him a person of interest. However, no other evidence has been produced in the last 18 years that links him to this crime.
None of his long, black hair was found at the discovery ditch. Only red beard hair most probably belonging to Terry Hobbs and hair most probably from David Jacoby. Nothing tested so far has been shown to contain Damien's DNA or the DNA of any of the WM3 for that matter. Footprints made by tennis shoes were found at the discovery ditch, but the WM3 wore boots. The tennis shoes that Jessie gave Buddy Lucas didn't match, remember?
So, where is the evidence that Damien is a murderer? Exhibit 500, the nons Bible, proves nothing except Damien was a very troubled teen. The fiber evidence proves nothing. The lake knife was never linked to Damien or any of the WM3. Jessie Misskelley's statements don't hold up to the evidence in the case. In short, there is no proof and, come December, I feel confident that Judge Laser will finally see that the emperor has no clothes.
