Just because some one can sing does NOT mean they have the intelligence to open a can.

The Dixie Chicks need to open up a can of STFU.

That guy was released early by the Parole board - probably with Gov. Huckabee’s intervention. He then moved to another state where a he murdered a woman just a few years later. Its one of the major problems that Huckabee is facing in this campaign

There were two things disturbing to me and that is I’ve read in more than one source that the gun that was used to kill those agents had fingerprints on it but none were Leonard's and the Feds grabbed him out of Canada without the proper papers or permission to do so. I’m not sure if these are true but these “facts” are out in print.

I thought Paradise Lost was actually pretty compelling... (I think they used Metallica as a somber soundtrack if I remember correctly.) To me, it was pretty obvious these "children" committed an unspeakable evil. Effective.

Then, when I saw Paradise Lost 2, it was as if the filmmakers were getting crap from friends of the "3" and decided to go after the grieving family members instead. It didn't work for me. Much less compelling, like when you see lawyers try to introduce their own brand of "evidence" to generate "reasonable doubt".

After seeing the 2 documentaries, I have no doubt that this group of "kids" was a lethal mixture of evil and stupid... and definitely GUILTY.

See the first Paradise Lost, skip the 2nd...

And Natalie? SHUT YOUR FRICKIN' PIEHOLE. You are as irrelevant as your causes.

* Drank blood of peers (voluntary or involuntary).
* Claims to be a vampire.
* Planned to have baby and sacrifice it.
* Wrote disturbing, dark, or occult (or satanic) poetry.
* Made occult (or satanic) drawings.

Threats to his family.

The allegation that Damien threatened to kill his mother, Pamela Hutchison, appears a number of times in his mental health records. This overlaps with the incident in which Echols is said to have threatened to kill his father.

” told grandmother today he would cut his mother’s throat.”

While in Oregon, several times had threatened to kill his father. On one occasion, Damien made a plan to “slash my parents’ throats and eat them alive.”

Transferred to Crittenden, one of the kids at the detention hall cut his wrists, Damien grabbed his arm and began to the suck the blood smeared it over his body and said he’s a devil worshipping vampire. Says he’s not a vampire but a witch.

Made pact girlfriend & Devil to sacrifice 1st born (p. 175)

And virtually the same allegation in Driver’s communication to a parole officer in Oregon:

Damion and his girlfriend were planning to have a child, so that they could offer it as a sacrifice to Satan.

“Exhibiting satanism behavior”

“Damien relates that a spirit is now living with him. The spirit was put inside him last year. He indicates that a month ago the spirit decided to become part of him and he to become part of the spirit. This is reportedly a spirit of a woman who was killed by her husband. . . In addition, he also reports conversations with demons and other spirits. This is achieved through rituals. He denies that he is satanic, seeing himself more as being involved in demonology.”

“I know I’m going to influence the world - people will remember m” and “feels he is smarter than everyone else”

He fantasizes being all powerful so as to block others from possessing the means to be belittling and harmful. . . . Closeness to others, displaying weakness, and a willingness to compromise are seen as fatal concessions. This teenager believes that past degradations may be undone by provoking fear and intimidation in others. Often loses temper, gets into fights, and acts in a daring fashion.

******

The three victims disappeared while riding bicycles in their neighborhood May 5, 1993. Their bodies were found the next day in a watery ditch near their homes.

The state Supreme Court unanimously affirmed Baldwin’s and Echols’ convictions in 1996, citing what it called substantial evidence of guilt.

******

James Michael Moore was the first victim recovered from the water. His arms and legs were bound together behind his back. A shoelace linked left wrist to left ankle. A second shoelace bound his right arm and leg. Investigators would refer this to as a “hog tied” fashion.

Steve Branch was the second victim recovered from the water he was bound in a similar manner. The left side of this victim’s face had been cut open from cheek to jaw.

Christopher Byers was the third and last victim to be recovered from the water. His injuries were the most sever. His penis and scrotal sac had been removed.

of the victims were severely beaten and Christopher Byers was emasculated

Defensive wounds were present on the victim’s hands (James Michael Moore) along with unexplained directional pattern abrasions just below the victims shoulder area. Steve Branch died of multiple traumatic injuries to the head, torso and extremities with drowning. Christopher Byers died of multiple traumatic injuries to the head, violent removal of his penis, scrotal sac, and testes.

Many of the injuries, the overkill, the bite marks and t he castration of Christopher Byers would indicate a signature. A killer’s signature is also called personation, also known as ritual.

I’d like to see a documentary on the Arkansas prison blood plasma racket that infected so many Canadians and Americans with AIDS and hepatitis. This scandal involved the Clintons and their cronies.

They want to let this guy out? I just hope if there is a retrial he & he is found innocent they put him into a mental hospital. I really think he sounds like a risk to the public.

I don’t know about this case but I’m sure that I won’t be relying upon Fat Nat or any of her Hollyweird pals for information, and I’m also confident that no HBO schlockumentary is any kind of reliable source....

On the above-mentioned Web site, the wife of one the convicted men wrote on Oct. 29: "DNA testing has been conducted on dozens of pieces of evidence. The DNA results show no link whatsoever to Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley or Jason Baldwin — and all of the experts agree that, under the prosecution theory of how the crime was committed, their DNA would be present at the crime scene if they were guilty.

"Instead, the DNA results match Terry Hobbs, the step-father of one of the victims. Our new filing also includes strong evidence from Pam Hobbs (the ex-wife of Terry Hobbs and the mother of one of the victims) implicating her former husband in the murders."

Could this be true? Could the step father be the killer?

THE EVIDENCE AGAINST JESSIE MISSKELLEY, JR.

A) EVIDENCE JESSIE MISSKELLEY HAD CRIME KNOWLEDGE UNAVAILABLE TO PUBLIC
B) DAMIEN ECHOLS SPOTTED NEAR CRIME SCENE
C) EVIDENCE MISSKELLEY ATTENDED ESBATS WITH ACCOMPLICES
D) EVIDENCE ONE VICTIM HAD BEEN STALKED
E) JESSIE MISSKELLEY CORRECTLY IDENTIFIES BALDWIN’S CLOTHING
F) FIBER EVIDENCE LINKING ACCOMPLICES TO CRIME

JESSIE MISSKELLEY’S CONFESSION

In the early morning hours of May 5, 1993, the appellant received a phone call from Jason Baldwin. Baldwin asked the appellant to accompany him and Damien Echols to the Robin Hood area. The appellant agreed to go. They went to the area, which has a creek, and were in the creek when the victims rode up on their bicycles. Baldwin and Echols called to the boys, who came to the creek. The boys were severely beaten by Baldwin and Echols. At least two of the boys were raped and forced to perform oral sex on Baldwin and Echols. According to appellant, he was merely an observer.

While these events were taking place, Michael Moore tried to escape and began running. The appellant chased him down and returned him to Baldwin and Echols. The appellant also stated that Baldwin had used a knife to cut the boys in the facial area and that the Byers boy was cut on his penis. Echols used a large stick to hit one of the boys. All three
three boys had their clothes taken off and were tied up. According to the appellant, he ran away from the scene at some point after the boys were tied up. He did observe that the Byers boy was dead when he left. Sometime after the appellant arrived home, Baldwin called saying, “we done it” and “what are we going to do if somebody saw us.” Echols could be heard in the background. The appellant was asked about his involvement in a cult. He said he had been involved for about three months. The participants would typically meet in the woods. They engaged in orgies and, as an initiation rite, killing and eating dogs. He noted that at one cult meeting, he saw a picture that Echols had taken of the three boys. He stated that Echols had been watching the boys. The appellant was also asked to describe what Baldwin and Echols were wearing the day of the murders. Baldwin was wearing blue jeans, black lace-up boots and a T-shirt with a rendering of a skull and the name of the group Metallica on it. Echols was wearing black pants, boots and a black T-shirt. The appellant initially stated that the events took place about 9:00 a.m. on May 5. Later in the statement, he changed that time to 12:00 noon. He admitted that his time periods might not be exactly right. He explained the presence of the young boys by saying they had skipped school that day.

Pam Hobbs, the mother of one of children, and the ex-wife of Terry Hobbs has been in and out of trouble with the law over the years.

If she had evidence why has she waited all of these years.
