I really don't see how he held on for so long,knowing in his heart he was innocent,day in and day out the monotany of prison only broke up with periods of abuse.He is still a very articulate,intelligent man.If I had been through half of what he has,especially unjustly,I would be a babbling, slobbering idiot. I don't know where he found strength but I'm glad he did he deserves to enjoy the rest of his life without interruption.
Driver WENT TO PRISON FOR CORRUPTION. He is the one who started that about Damien and the occult. FBI said there was nothing to do with a satanic cult ..
That woman's screams for her child make my heart race in fear for her. People, please! If you have to live in your cars, forget jobs! Be unemployed so you can watch your children! :(
So let me get this straight - First these kids were convicted by ignorance, gossip and general public opinion, and THEN the police worked back to build up a case, which mainly hinged on a 'confession' which was obtained after a intense 12-hour interrogation of a youth with a 70-IQ....? What a frightening country, where the justice system can fail so horribly! Two words - reasonable doubt.
just for the record, the interrogation did not last even close to 12 hours, and jessie's IQ was tested a few times over the years with varying results. maximum result 88 i think? (close to that at least).
he's clearly no einstein.
it's important to note as well though, that false confessions have been obtained by people a whole lot smarter than jessie, regardless of his exact IQ score.
just wanted to clear up some common misconceptions there.
So your a prime suspect because you dress gothic? Im in deep sh*t. Maybe we should all dress in yellow and pink. Wait then men would all be gay and charged as pedophiles...damn we are screwed :/
Shit pisses me off. PERIOD! Or... Exclamation mark xD But no... This is some serious bullshit. This country is fucked up. And yes I'm an American. If you can watch this shit & see that Arkansas is corrupted by people with a little bit of power... Think about the rest of the world. Even worse in other states. UGH!!!!!! MAKE ME PRESIDENT!!!!!
I live in Tenn. Very close to where this happened. Seems like right before this happened there was another Murder where the people killed a family visiting from England Named Lillilids (SP?) up around the KY border and the murderers of them claimed to be satanist. A guy and a girl.Then in Knoxville TN you had the Job Core Murders where a girl was found with a pentagram carved on her an put killer Krista Pike in prison.Seems the timing was perfect for a witch hunt! These man did nothing!
@ebtcnt yes they are corrupt as hell,they all should be lock up for what they did ,my god what rotten justice,gary gitchell, mike allen,should be lock up ,so should fogleman what skum bags,they are not above the law ,but in this case they were why ?the men that inprisoned them should be in inprisoned them selves
I believe these guys are guilty. No evidence my ass. Okay then. You really feel the need to believe in guys that murdered 3 innocent kids. You're just as bad.
When there was a need to find someone guilty, and it could conceivably be pinned on them, their potential innocence was granted as much consideration by the police as the Salem witchhunters gave witches.
The main reason we got rid of the death penalty in the UK was when a serial killer murdered the wife of the guy living downstairs. The guy was convicted and hanged on the evidence of the serial killer. No European country now has the death penalty and no civilised nation should have it.
@WillShakespeare2007 Unfortunately that just means the UK has alot of evil people who committed crimes worthy of the death penalty ,living lives they should have lost,walking around free, breathing the same air as people who appreciate life. I believe some crimes are unforgivable,no matter which God you may pray to or religion you practice. Especially crimes against innocent children.
@WillShakespeare2007 A truly civilized nation would absolutely have the death penalty, some crimes are unforgivable and should be punished by death. especially crimes against or involving children.
hasn't felt rain drops or touch grass in 16 yrs - SHUT THE FUCK UP , im amazed how people eat this demons bullshit up--- get real , the fucking maggot is GUILTY as charged
@butterball1234abcd If your so convinced of his guilt what real proof do you or anybody else have of it? Does it compare to all the proof on record that they did not kill the three boys? or are you just one of those loud mouthed idiots who appoint themselves as judge and jury in every aspect of life ? so sad
@aliciaanne The police believe they were all killed at the scene. Experts dispute that Byers was, because the massive blood loss he suffered was not consistent with the amount of blood at the scene. Police simply decided it was "washed away." The other two were probably left to drown in the woods when the culprit - obviously John Mark Byers, let's face it - was dumping Byers' body.
@lilvin69 Living in a small slow minded community the fact that Damien was more intelligent than most worked against him, because how dare anyone read anything outside the Normal Christian Values, how dare they seek knowledge from any where but the Bible.With no evidence but a coerced confession of a mentally handicap kid, Miskelly, Damien Elcols could die any day.If that happens West Memphis Arkansas will hopefully burn to the ground.

I have a question. Were the boys murdered in the woods or were they murdered somewhere else and the killer placed their bodies there?
