West Memphis 3 WM3 clips pre-hearing 8-19-11

[Dorisequador]

Terry Hobbs and has lied. I wonder why is it because he's just stupid?

[CARLPHILLIPS408]

Mr byres been cool all the way.

[publicenemynumerouno]

Yeah. Mark is such a credible character witness. First it was Damien, Jason and Jessie. Now, it's Terry Hobbs.

Mark? Are you POSITIVE you got it right THIS TIME?

[demon312003]

i'm so glad that the WM3 are free, plus i'm very glad that john mark byers made a complete turn around, n go get terry hobbs that no good son of a bitch

[avidalocan]

I reckon Byers had a good deal more to do with this case being so well-known than people realise. This man is a great speaker and great character. He added flourish and colour to all the documentaries and many of the interviews about this case. Without his input, I think the overall interest in the case would have waned - after all, the average Arkansas yokel can only entertain you for so long. Byers brought life to this.

[publicenemynumerouno]

@avidalocan Paradise Lost 2 would never have made it without Mark's performance. Bruce and Joe would have flopped. Sheila Nevins would probably have never given them another contract.

And yes, Mark was paid for his performance. That's about the only honest thing Bruce and Joe ever did, admitting in writing (I have a copy) that it was a performance.

[avidalocan]

@publicenemynumerouno If all of the parents were average types like Bruce or even subaverage like Jo Misskelly, I think part of the public's psyche would have (subconsciously) thought that it was a terrible event, but maybe didn't affect the quality of the gene pool that much. When you realise that Byers lost his son though, and size that up against his great public speaking and acting skills, it feels much more like a very talented child's life was lost, which gives the event more import.

[Ebeneezerable]

the wm3's alibis kept changing too. u can get mad or look it up. your choice.

[Ebeneezerable]

man! he just gave out Hobbs exact location, address and all.

[dejandude]

Byers is a really good speecher. He could be a good spokesman. Even in the first Paradise Lost documentary he could speak very well, even though he was first against them.

[shabtash]

To be fair to byers he's very publicly done a u-turn, after seeing the new evidence and the facts and now backs the WM3 whereas at first he thought they were guilty.

People can say what they want about him and sometimes he can be outspoken, but for me that deserves alot of respect.

[WillExposeYou]

I feel terrible for this mans loss ( Steve Branch ) but where was he when he son was being abused by Hobbs and why was such a concerned father not paying any child support ? He wasn't interested to know what was going on in the boys life and now he don't seem to be interested in the truth about his death.

[iloveXH558]

What a turn around in byars. Well why don't we now see Hobbs in court?!!!!

[WillExposeYou]

@iloveXH558 Maybe we will at a later date !

[Encephalotrigeminal]

John Mark Byers...speaking the truth?!?!?!

[lostinvast]

what an incredible transformation.

[kalloused]

I fucking hated this guy the most out of everyone in the first documentary....now he's my hero.

[adam1mc]

Wow. Having JUST watched Paradise Lost II, what a change of heart this guy has had....

[eltrut96]

Terry Hobbs is a guilty son of a bitch

[geitozt]

@eltrut96

When PL 1+2 came out, people thought that Byers was the killer.

Now people (and the crazy Byers, good he has come around, but dont forget that he have said a lot of strange shit over the years) want to start accusing people before a trial or anything. just like WMPD and court did with the WM3.

I actually agree with you to a point, that Hobbs should be brought to court,I acctually agree with you to a point, that Terry Hobbs should be brought to court, but dont pre judge any more people

[Encephalotrigeminal]

@geitozt I completely agree.

[toyouiwill]

Mr byres is actually pretty cool now a days.

[ixceix]

@toyouiwill

i agree. i hated this guy after watching he first two documentaries. it's refreshing to see he's come around.

[joseffz]

@toyouiwill you sound as if ur easily influenced by stuff u watch on tv.

[toyouiwill]

@joseffz Well obviously, I have never met Mr Byres in person so the only info i have to go on is news clips and TV interviews.

[joseffz]

@toyouiwill Why comment on it then?
