So, to (hopefully) bring this full circle, if Damien is a suspect because he has been caught in multiple lies (although some of these supposed lies are totally not case related), Terry should equally be a suspect because he has been caught in multiple lies, one of them being that he had not seen Steven on May 5, 1993 (which, IMO, is a little more relevant than Damien fudging on his place of residence to a television talk-show host). I think that any confusion over Jacoby's declaration can be cleared up by reading paragraphs 3 and 4:
3. I am a friend of Terry Hobbs and Pam Hobbs. On May 5, 1993, I lived in the same neighborhood as Terry and Pam Hobbs and their children Stevie Branch and Amanda Hobbs. Stevie Branch was one of the three little boys murdered in the Robin Hood Hills area of West Memphis, Arkansas on or about May 5, 1993.
4. The murders, the investigation into the murders, the victims, the families of the victims, the trials of the three teenagers ultimately convicted of the murders ("the West Memphis Three"), their appeals, and the question of whether the West Memphis Three actually committed the murders have received a lot of national and local press attention since 1993. I personally have received a great deal of requests for interviews from the press, as well as from investigators and writers, regarding the questions of who committed the murders and whether Terry Hobbs was involved in the murders of the three little boys. I have generally refused to talk to the press about the murders, the events relating to the murders and Terry Hobbs.
5. Terry Hobbs and I worked together at the Memphis Ice Cream Company in Memphis, Tennessee in May of 1993.
It seems obvious to me that, beginning with paragraph 5 and continuing on through paragraph 19, Jacoby is sequentially recounting the events, as he recalls them, surrounding the murders of Christopher, Michael and Steven.
May we please move on?
