Lol, I don't know. I live in WVa; we see some strange things around here!

I sure hope they eventually find out the real killer/killers. It for sure isn't either Ryan Ferguson or Chuck Erickson. BTW, Chuck Erickson had drug and mental health issues. He couldn't remember what happened that night. His 'confession' isn't credible because Erickson is not a stable witness. Not only that, but there's no evidence linking him to the crime scene. Nada, nothing. Ditto Ryan. This was a bloody crime scene. There's a finger/palm print in blood! Further, the murder occurred 1 hour AFTER the bar closed and a witness saw Ryan and Chuck drive away from the bar when it closed. Ryan took Chuck home & he went straight home. End of story.
There's no evidence you can point to that proves any involvement by either. You can assume there's some hidden invisible forensic evidence, but that's as real as Chuck's delusions. I'm usually on the side of the DA but in this case these 2 are absolutely not guilty and I believe they are factually innocent.
Why??? And why should Ryan have served a decade for a crime he didn't commit??? There wasn't DNA linked to either of them, and the witness lied.Just because they didn't recover DNA that linked them, doesn't mean there wasn't DNA that linked them.
There was also a witness that claimed the 2 boys told him they "beat down" someone that night
I'm just glad Ryan did at least a decade behind bars. What makes me sad is the one with a conscience in still behind bars-if anyone should get out its Erickson. I would feel much safer with Erickson released
Me too, but the cops and the DA had a rush to judgement to convict someone in this case and they got the wrong guy(s). LE fed Erickson the details of how the victim was killed, he really didn't know. He imagined it all.There's no evidence you can point to that proves any involvement by either. You can assume there's some hidden invisible forensic evidence, but that's as real as Chuck's delusions.

There is all kinds of circumstantial evidence I can point to. The Scott Peterson case was a circumstantial case and those 2 are every bit as "factually" guilty as that guy.

Is Erikson up for parole next year? Hope his lawyers are taking notes from Kathleen Zellner.Its surprising how much you can learn about the credibility of an individual post by looking at the sig of the poster.
Ryan Ferguson's conviction has been vacated, he is free and enjoying his life. Charles Erikson will most likely be paroled next year. So please don't get too worked up by moles and trolls, is my advice.
Btw what do people mean by "hard evidence?" There's either enough evidence to convince a jury BARD or there isn't. Circumstantial evidence is as or more powerful than direct evidence; the law treats them equally.
Just an FYI...
The legal definition is the only valid one to use:
"Direct Evidence" is defined as: eye witness to a crime, a confession to a crime, or a video of the crime.
Everything else including DNA, fingerprints, footprints, blood, fibers, etc is, by definition, "circumstantial evidence." Forensic evidence is circumstantial evidence. Even the infamous "smoking gun" that people like to refer to is circumstantial evidence, unless there was a witness to the person pulling the trigger and the gun going off and the victim being hit.
They are given equal weight in the eyes of the law and juries are instructed they can treat both types of evidence the same.
Ironically it is often Direct Evidence that causes the problems with unfair or false convictions. Eye witnesses can be mistaken, confessions can be false or coerced. And when people are freed after decades in prison it's often due to circumstantial evidence (like DNA) proving they did not commit the crime and direct evidence (false eye witness testimony) failing.
Why??? And why should Ryan have served a decade for a crime he didn't commit??? There wasn't DNA linked to either of them, and the witness lied.
But I'm probably not a part of the majority here, but I didn't think there was enough hard evidence to convict Peterson. The same as in this case, only I would like to know the circumstantial evidence in the Ferguson case. What is there? A dream and eye witnesses who recanted? Hardly evidence, if you can even call it that.
