West Memphis Three innocent - WM3 - KARK TV news coverage 2

[lonewolf1976b]

@iamlegion THE ARKANSAS STATE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES ORDERED AN EVIDENTIARY HEARING SO NEW EVIDENCE AND ALL EVIDENCE CAN BE CONDIDERED AND D.N.A CLEARS THE WM3 AND LINKS DAVID JACOBY AND TERRY HOBBS, SOMEBODY DONT KNOW THEIR ASS FROM A HLOE IN THE GROUND OR DO THEIR HOMEWORK EITHER

[volhead49]

miskelly sat right there with stidham,his lawyer. and with his hand on a bible, confessed the whole murded again. this was the fourth time he'd confessed on tape, and yet stidham is still trying to say they're innocent? goes to show how powerful money is and the discard of morality it brings. and to think he's actually a judge now.

[k3w1b3an5]

@volhead49 It's called a coerced confession. They happen far too often. Police are allowed to lie and threaten to get a confession, which they did. Jesse had an IQ of 75, that's borderline mental retardation. In his original confession he got NONE of the facts correct (because he didn't do it). The Judge refused the confession, the cops went back, told him what to say and got what they wanted, someone to charge with the crime to make them look good.

[volhead49]

@k3w1b3an5 where did you get that from? he confessed twice in one day and then again months later, then again after his trial with his hand on the bible with no bearings whatsoever on his case bc he was already convicted, yet he confessed again. dan stidham said himself that if he could go find the whiskey bottle that jessie claimed to throw under an overpass, then he would believe him guilty but he renegged for some reason.btw jessies iq was 72 not 75.check out callahan.8k.com to get the facts

[k3w1b3an5]

@volhead49 Without bothering to cite links I've seen it mentioned numerous times that Jesse Miskelly originally gave the time of the murder as occurring in the morning when the 3 boys were in school. If you believe confessions are always the end all and be all in every case then you are sadly mistaken. I suggest you watch the story called "The Confessions" from Frontline on pbs(dot)org. 4 grown men confessed to a rape and murder they did not commit after. Hard to believe but true.

[k3w1b3an5]

@k3w1b3an5 One of the big questions among so many is.. Do you really think they would let 3 people go that they thought murdered 3 eight year old boys ? Absolutely not. They let them go to save face and with a final forced confession to boot. Do you think 3 dumb teenage boys were capable of killing 3 kids with no evidence at all left behind ? no blood, no foot prints, no physical evidence and no witnesses.

[yellowrose011]

why didn,t they check the dental inpression , on terry hobbs when they had it .they over look so much on this case .never interview terry hobbs till 2007 unreal. what kind of justice do they have there. now the DNA clears all 3 boys now men. and points the finger to terry hobbs.there your killer , he kill those 3 boys in his house, them took them to the river. the bite mark on stevie face would match terry hobbs,why was this not done 18 years ago.corruption at its best. shame on you people.

[hobbshairmyass]

Misskelleys lawyer, Dan Stidham said he would ADMIT the WM3 were guilty of killing the 3 little boys if they found the broken Evan Williams whiskey bottle where Miskelley said he broke it. They found it. Well, Stidham? That on top of all the evidence and your clients NUMEROUS CONFESSIONS, one , atleast, in which you were present and you still say they are innocent? Guess that really does make you a LIAR. Or maybe just another everyday scum sucking defense attorney? A LIAR just the same.

[glentidwell2]

Want to help free the WM3? Want to show your support? Then wear a "WM3 - SET THEM FREE!" bracelet! Bracelets are black silicone and imprinted with "WM3 - SET THEM FREE!". All proceeds are split and put on Damien, Jessie and Jason's commissary accounts OR placed into their defense fund account. If you would like one of the bracelets, please email wm3_setthemfree@yahoo.com and be sure to include the number of bracelets you want. They are being sold for $5.00 plus S&H. A small price for innocence!

[freefoxyknoxy]

How many suspects confessed to the murders and told police the names of his accomplices, the injuries to Christopher Byers, the injuries to Steve Branch's face and without being prompted that he chased Michael Moore down? Miskelley.

How many suspects named by Miskelley were found to each possess a single garment in their homes similar to the red rayon fibers found on Christopher's clothing and the green polyester and green cotton fibers found on Michael's clothing? Echols and Baldwin.

[7pretty7]

@freefoxyknoxy THIS IS A TROLL with many names on here. But it is REALLY STONECOMMANDER..a nut

[exhibit500]

GUILTY : 1.ALL 3 HAVE CONFESSED 2.Echols & Misskelly failed their polys. 3.Fiber evidence linking Echols & Baldwin to the crime scene. 4.Lack of alibis 5. Witnessed coming from scene 6. Lake knife 7.Echols mental/violent history & statements BEFORE the murders 8.Misskelley giving information only a witness/perp could know. 9.Numerous people testified or gave statements concerning all 3s involvement. 10. Jessie's lawyer said he'd believe them GUILTY if whiskey bottle was "there". IT WAS THERE!

[FuckBigBrother1964]

Allen: "If the justice system doesn't work, why not just send an HBO film crew down here"..... yes, Mike, you're just looking for the light of day to shine on the WMPD... Especially the 1994 WMPD that pushed along the circus trial of the WM3. How many cops were indicted btwn 1994-2006? Pul-leez...... I'd have a MODICUM of respect for you if you'd man up today and admit there's no evidence to believe the WM3 are guilty, but you don't have anything close to the character required to do that....

[scumgod13]

HBO are GREAT for putting the initial Documentary up! I am from Knoxville,TN so I had heard about this but I had no idea of the actual rail road job these men (Kids at the time) Got! They were convicted beyond a shadow of a doubt with absolutely no physical evidence,no witnesses,and only the coerced confession of a near mentally Retarded teenager.I've heard that his brain functions at the level of a 5 yr. olds.They put him in a bad situation,he said what he did thinking it would stop.

[NTBushPilot]

How can people still think the US is the best country in the world.

[maktorri9]

My best friend's brother was the father of one of the little boys who got murdered. So sad indeed! :'(

[bloodtickhound]

real tough guys they were back then, three teenaged bullys beating up little 8 year old boys that weighed maybe 80 lbs. hard core tough guys they are, if someone lied to the police and got you sent to prison for the rest of your life, would you still be friends with them? teenaged tough guy bullys beating up 8 year olds, what a joke they are!

[DeltaSigChi4]

@bloodtickhound No one is friends with anyone since they are in separate units, or in entirely separate facilities to begin with, Sherlock. I just love that your judgment on their guilt or innocence is based on such an arbitrary matter though; let me guess: you're from Arkansas.

E

[scumgod13]

@bloodtickhound You sir, have no brain. Your attitude is what put 3 innocent people in prison in the first place.They grabbed the 1st 3 targets that didnt fit into the ignorant,small town,Bruce Springsteen lovin and Gawd Fearing Mindset that everyone else holds so dear.They must have done it they read book bout the Devil, listened to Devil music and wore all black.What a joke YOU are!

[edcjunkie]

@bloodtickhound Prove it.

[ThirdConfession]

@edcjunkie I appreciate why people have a problem with how this case was handled. There were some blunders on the part of the police, detectives & probably the prosecution, but if we objectively view ALL of the evidence as did the 24 jurors in 2 separate trials then we would come to the same conclusion as the evidence points to no one else. Misskelleys own attorney, Stidham, stated he'd believe they were GUILTY if the Evan Williams whiskey bottle was where Jessie claimed it was. IT WAS THERE!

[ToolFan68]

@ThirdConfession ...you obviously have not read the trial transcripts and Mara Leverit's book.

[iamIegion]

@ToolFan68 Maras book, Devil's Knot is a pathetic, one sided, doesn't look at the evidence defense spin pile of garbage. Same as Paradise Lost.

You really think you know more than all of the ARKANSAS STATE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES who stated that there was SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE of their guilt?

The Devil's Knot will be untied and Paradise will be found. And all WM3 supporters shall reap the wirlwind of injustice they have served Chris, Michael and Stevie. As I will, so mote it be. Azrael.

[TheLiquirbox]

@iamIegion Should I direct you to the list of verified innocent people who have been freed from jail?? I gather by your statement that the Arkansas justice system is infallible.

[Rimbaud1531]

@iamIegion Yeah. They're so guilty they were just let out of prison. "Okay, just say you're guilty, and we'll let you out of prison. Just don't sue us."

[bloodtickhound]

@edcjunkie disprove it

[yellowrose011]

john fogleman you should be fired and charge,mike allen you should be fired and charge,you people make me sick,you took 3 boys innocence boys and lock them up,how dear you,take there lives away,you sir are full of shit,from head to toe,gitchell,you should be fired to, but you retired after this case was over,still holding the head up high,good for you ,there should be a full investigation into these cops and judge,the DNA is in,and you believe that shit ok what ever ,you make good cops look bad

[katanake23]

If Damien gets the lethal injection, I'm gonna fly my way and go on strike.

[yellowrose011]

@katanake23 I WILL JOIN YOU ON THAT ONE

[SugarySweetCupcake]

Free the West Memphis Three!

[juliejazz]

Judge "Grapefruit" Fogelman is evil. Pure evil. He knows he prosecuted innocent boys and sent one to death row.

[musicloverhoney]

Wasn't ist amazing how he created that proof with a damn piece of fruit and someone's old abandoned knife. Sorry bastard.

FREE THE WM3!!

[yellowrose011]

@juliejazz TO JUDGE FOGELMAN,, THEM BOYS ARE INNOCENCE AND YOU KNOW THAT,NOW WITH ALL THE DNA IN,YOU STILL BELIEVE THEY ARE GUILTY,YOU SIR ARE SUPPOSE TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE GETS A FAIR TRAIL,IN THIS CASE YOU FAIL,BIG TIME,HOW CAN YOU LET THIS INJUSTICE TO GO ON,YOU SHOULD BE FIRED AND CHARGE LIKE THE REST OF THEM,HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE SLEEP AT NIGHT,WE HAVE TO STAND UP FOR PEOPLE LIKE THE WM3 ,BECAUSE OF YOUR INJUSTICE SYSTEM ,FOR GOD SAKE LET THEM GO HOME, TERRY HOBBS DID THIS HORRIBLE CRIME

[choppo41]

@juliejazz I'm happy to see how poorly age has treated him in this video, while stidham looks the same

[ECOOL76]

Metallica rocks! Yeah! Oh and Free The WM3!

[7pretty7]

Where the hell did you read that Bryers died?? peace..Pretty

[drquads]

Too bad that byers died. My opinion is that he either did the deed or had something to do with it. If they ever free the three , what kind of lives will they have?

[musicloverhoney]

John Mark Byers is alive and well and one of the key players now in the fight to free the WM3.

[tigerslilly29]

All this WM3 support must be so frustrating for the WMPD. Here they decided to pin this crime on three poor "white trash" kids cuz they were too lazy to do real investigative work, and they're still having to answer questions years later. They thought nobody would care--they were wrong. They thought they'd be able to forget after trial was over--they were wrong! We won't let you forget!

[Autore1986]

Yeah, like we can trust the police and prosecutors that were involved in the case. What would they stand to gain by admitting they were wrong? I'd love to hear the exact reasons (evidence) why they're so convinced that Echols, Baldwin, and Misskelley are the killers. But I've yet to hear any.

What was there aside from Misskelley's completely inaccurate and obviously coerced confession to link the three of them to the crimes? If there was sufficient evidence I wouldn't be supporting the WM3.

[goose01ca]

just makes you wonder how many other innocent people have been put to death or sent to prison because of redneck, uneducated, ignorant, moronic people from the south. Jessie Misskelley's IQ of 72 which is borderline retardation seems like it is the average southern IQ. Americans are stupid period. I hate you america you scum.

[shakezula29]

I believe people should not just watch the paradise lost documentaries, and believe they are innocent, because the documentaries are biased, the director even said they were edited to make the appearance that they are most likely innocent

[phimify]

ur joking?

[intelwisdomwins]

Everyone who has actually looked at the case and has half a brain believes they are innocent or at the very least have not been proven guilty. People posting here that they are guilty can safely be ignored as they are really just trying to cause annoyance. They haven't actually done any research, and if they have and still believe they are guilty must have a brain the size of a peanut.

[7pretty7]

There was a shoe and finger print at the crime scene that didn't match any of them that was never investigated. Then the bloody bleeding man at Bojangles. NEW TRIAL but not in that jurisdiction! This time a FAIR TRIAL

[jewto0b]

Dan Stidham is a great man. Still trying to help these boys after all these years, on his own time and money.

[tigerslilly29]

I agree--an actual lawyer with a heart. No lawyer would work for free after so many years if he didn't totally believe his client was innocent. He needs his own book.

[DeltaSigChi4]

That Detective Allen seems to be quite the cunt. How about you stop worrying just for a second about HBO®, about the documentaries, and about the supporters of JUSTICE, and actually worried about the case. You know ... physical evidence ... proper procedure for interrogations [tape the entire thing next time, you worthless asshole], Miranda rights, proper documentation of the faux polygraphs performed, etc.

FREE THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE!

E

[yellowrose011]

@DeltaSigChi4 couldn,t have said it better you go

[nativeHotgirl]

what about the black guy at bojangles who wuz covered in mud and blood? And the blood scrappings that were lost? Fucken currupted ass police department. An stupid mark byers and terry hobbs probly were in on it. Free the WM3!

[woshpank34]

you have to love all the metallica in this piece, thats the only heavy metal they know

[buckiemohawk]

mark byers didn't do it it's been linked to the branch family

[bjoh249]

Just a little FYI from a fellow Arkansan. West Memphis has one of the most corrupt police departments in the country.

[MaryWeinheimer73]

This shit is retarded, why do these bigshot never listen to the people!

[iwantboi24]

mark byers is guilty! it is so obvious, he killed his wife too.

[angeles37]

This is a very frustated case,those 3 guys still in jail and not a solution and justicie for those inocents criatures.

Somebody killed those kids,not a ghost,not aliens,i hope they can find a answer for this terrible murder..

Sorry for my english.

[CristianZaccardofan9]

Im from WM, Ark. ANd I know all about it. My dad was invovled in it and all that jazz. So I Know alot about it. Its a sad situation. And in my opinion I dont think they did it. I think they are innocent bc they didnt even look at the evidence on everything. I think the step dad did it. I live in WM so I hear alot about it from ppl and my father But I guess WMPD was in a hurry to convict ppl so they chose who were different.

[gnrhutch]

This is a complete joke. The WMPD are losers.

[bonger22]

mark byers shoulkd be in jail;

[tablaqueen]

thanks for posting that! Gods, they seem to have chosen the most psycho looking photo of Damien that they could possibly find,though!!!

[professorgreibowitz]

I find it interesting that the very people who don't want to dig too deeply into the facts are the first to yell "GUILTY!" Very interesting. I live in W. Memphis and I find it entirely plausible that the WM3 are innocent.

[Hawaiansnow]

would they suck my dick if they find out?

[EsqDave]

This is the kind of comment I'd expect from someone ignorant enough to say they "believe they're guilty." It's not a matter of "believe" any more - did you miss the news? July 27 2007 - DNA status report - there is no DNA or other forensic evidence from the WM3 at the scene - the DNA is from the victims, their families and "as yet unknown person or persons." Three innocent guys have been living in hell for 14+ years because of thickheaded morons like you. What a scary world...

[dollythebrat]

i have a feeling that no one would ever do that, no matter what.

[Hawaiansnow]

In my opinion there is enough evidence and Det is right.they are child killers.

[Shanethefilmmaker]

That's your opinion I can't change that but be careful WM3 supporters don't find out about it.

[ghostdtx]

there is NO evidence.. some judge you would be.

[EsqDave]

If you're rich and DNA nails you (OJ Simpson), you go free. If you're poor and DNA clears you, you go to death row (West Memphis Three). What an embarrassment to the USA legal system. End this nonsense and free them NOW.
