Deceased/Not Found TN - Joseph "Joe Clyde" Daniels, 5, Dickson, 3 Apr 2018 *autistic* *PLEA: No Contest* *appeal filed 2023* #3

Question for everyone... If you were a juror would there be enough reasonable doubt for you? Personally taking emotions out of it I'd be very conflicted.

Yes I have tons of reasonable doubt and would vote NG. No vehicle ever left the house that night, nearly everything in his 'confession' was shown to be untrue (or 'speculation', as he phrased it), and it became clear why they put Alex and his video interviews on - only so they could get in Joe's interrogation.

Someone let the boy out of the house that night, but I don't believe they proved it was Joe. And yeah, I do think his 'confession' was coerced. Did they ever say how long in total that lasted? I heard the video was about 4 hours before they cut it down to the 2 3/4 shown, but how long did they interrogate him altogether? It surely looks like a lot longer than 4 hours.

Interesting that your conviction is that someone let him out of the house.

Does that in turn lead me to believe that you agree with some of the story that leads up to "someone LET HIM out of the house"?

I still to this day don't understand the coercion that some are stating. Can folks point me to where there was force? threats?... or do some here think that "threats=coercision" in that if you lie, you will have problems etc... a la (DBM as would be O/T to compare to another case)

I say 'let him out of the house' because of the sighting of little Joe (or someone wearing the pajamas he had on) by a witness that night, and no evidence that anything happened in the house that night.

I think the coercion is fairly evident, they refused to believe anything he said (or stop the interrogation) until he said what they wanted to hear - that he did 'something' to little Joe. He had only two choices - he was either the guy who liked to cause kids pain or the one who caused an 'accident' to happen to little Joe, but it was very clear he was only leaving that room by telling them one or the other of those. And there is zero evidence he did anything to little Joe.
 
well, they would have removed me from the court room. Judge asked anyone that could not control their emotions to leave the room. I may be home alone, but I had a very audible response once the verdict was read. Actually clamped my hand over my mouth. :eek:
