I was going to post a lengthy response citing the sex offenders in West Memphis at the time (including one who "guessed" the boys had been tied with their own shoelaces), or Terry Hobbs' history working in a slaughterhouse from a young age and sexually assaulting his neighbor, or the number of...

Correct that Linda's techniques are still considered reliable. My 1972 Datsun still runs, too ........ but --- I prefer my 2009 Grand Am. The relevant point is that Jason filed a motion asking the State to consent to having the fibers tested with the modern technology. In sum ... why take...

And, ummm, for the sake of argument -- if we show that the defense wants these tested (along with everything else) and that the State is fighting that request, you become a supporter, right? Cuz... it ain't for the sake of argument. The fact is that the defense is asking for everything to be...

Are you serious? Ok.... assuming you are. You are directly misinformed. The defense is asking for everything to be tested. The State is fighting that request. Let me say that again: The defense is asking for everything to be tested. The State is fighting that request. Don't take my word...

Grynch ... ONE SIDE (the WM3 / defense) is fighting to have the remaining 100+ pieces of evidence DNA tested. ONE SIDE (the State / prosecution) is fighting AGAINST that. Nothing could speak louder. If they were guilty, the last thing the WM3's attorneys would want is to have the evidence...

The State is now openly advocating a position of "DO NOT TEST ANY MORE EVIDENCE." - http://www.dpdlaw.com/statebrief.pdf . Come on, folks, anyone on the fence.... Have you ever SEEN this? A State more concerned with being "right" than with the truth and the testing of evidence? This is...

They have an imprint from a tennis shoe; not TH's footprint per se. It matches TH's size. And, well, there's more coming at the upcoming hearings. And the thing is .... Damien wore Army boots. They have very obvious, easy to identify marks. And there ain't none... I mean, if we want to...

You can makes a case against five potential people - 1- The WM3. You know the arguments; I won't review them here. There is no "gotcha" item and no piece of "evidence" that stands up to scrutiny. 2 - Mark - based primarily on his behavior, and the Kershaw knife. It's a weak case and one I...

Are you seriously not aware that Judge Burnett was reversed on every single point on 11/4/2010 and that the Arkansas Supreme Court has remanded for a hearing where "all" evidence will be considered? http://www.dpdlaw.com/DamienHearing.PDF http://www.dpdlaw.com/JasonHearing.PDF...

You seem to have avoided all the other points in the post, except that you mention the fact that Jessie's statements don't even come to aligning with the forensics.... You mention it, put a ? and then ignore it. These are the facts openly cited by the family members, all of whom (with the...

Peanut - it's TERRY Hobbs, not MARK Hobbs. Mark is Chris' father - and a vocal supporter both of the innocence of the WM3 and the guilt of TERRY Hobbs. I otherwise agree with your post; the few remaining "non-supporters" out there are clinging to the "hoodoo voodoo Damien was craazzzyyy"...

Some people say that one's position on this case is an IQ test. If so, in my opinion you pass :woohoo: I'm no fan of many who claim innocence and are guilty as hell (Mumia Mumbo Jumbo, Melanie McGuire, etc), but the WM3 is disturbing. Come over to BlackBoard if you want to discuss the...

Agreed 100%, Filly. I'm an attorney and an advocate for the wrongly convicted (like the West Memphis Three in Arkansas, Tommy Zeigler in Florida, Tommy Arnold in Alabama - maybe Paul Cortez in NY and Darrell Edwards in NJ) ... Anyway, Mumia ain't one of them. It pisses me off no end to see...

Amen .... Amen to that 100%. I don't think anyone becomes a cop because they want to hurt innocent people, and I think 95% of these situations are a cop deciding someone is guilty and "adding a little evidence" to make sure, in his/her mind, that a guilty person doesn't get away with it. Of...

Okay. Why the trials were a farce. State v. Miskelley: Judge Burnett approached the jury while they were deliberating as to guilt or innocence. The last vote had been 8-4 (I'll skip saying which way since I've heard that disputed). Burnett opened the door to the jury room and asked what the...
