That is what DuMond claims, and I was willing to believe it at first, but when the full extent of DuMond's violent criminal history was reported, his credibility was totally destroyed.
I am convinced that DuMond raped Ashlee Stevens, then castrated himself in order to make himself appear to be the victim. Many other people who earlier were willing to give DuMond the benefit of the doubt have also concluded that he is, in fact, guilty of the crimes he was charged with. He has been duly convicted by juries in Arkansas and Missouri.
When it was reported that DuMond was eligible for parole, I stated my opposition to his release on this forum. If he had been kept in prison, two women in Missouri would be alive today.
I understand that a lot of people are still under the impression that DuMond was framed, so we will just have to disagree on that point. But we can agree that it was wrong for Sheriff Coolidge Conlee to keep DuMond's testicles displayed in a jar on his desk.
