I'm about to start re-reading the court transcripts, but before I do, I wanted to ask what do you believe happened to cause a couple of the parents to change their minds?
are we allowed to discuss/interject unsubstantiated rumors?
Well, I have - on many occations over the years.It's really all we have unless we talk to JMB or PH personally.
See?I think the abject poverty and lack of education that is common to most of the involved parties plays a big part.
Oh dear. That is so sad but understandable. In all honesty the families should have been taken care of....do they not have victims compensation in the states? Not that it's so great here, but it's something. How wrong is it that the WM3 is getting financial donations but the actual victims are left out in the cold.
It is wrong, especially considering the dire situations some of these families are in. It's also very frustrating that Damien's assertations that he would influence the world and be remembered would usually be written off as the delusions of a mad man, and in this case it's proved to be true, which only feeds his particular brand of insanity!
I LOVE the fact that Mark is cashing in, I just don't like how he chose to do it.
But he and Terry will sort that when the press leaves.
Considerably less once Burnett forced them to acknowledge on their web-site that none of the money they collected actually went to the Defense of the WM3.Question: what kind of funds does WM3.ORG have?
That's the Damien Echols defense fund, and that figure is over three years old.A million dollars? That's a lot more that I would have expected
Aussie...I do the exact same! I just wish one thing would stick out for me so I would just make up my mind. Sadly, JM's confession is just not pushing me over the edge. I just know Arkansas politics....I know how things work here....the WMPD needed someone arrested for this. I've talked to several LE and none of them think the WM3 are guilty and they do have access to inside info. But, in the same breath they'll mention how they can relate to the WMPD and the pressure they felt to have someone pay for the horrendous crime.
What inside information could they possibly have or gain access to? Except for the sealed documents everything else is available for the public. (and supposedly even one sealed document has been garnered by the media).
I'm sorry I can't give your post more weight just because you allege you spoke to some LE and they agree with you and they supposedly have access to some inside information. I spoke in chat just last night with a prosecuting attorney who stated they met the requirements of the statute to proceed with the case and that she would have brought it to trial if she had been the PA. I've also spoken with Michael's father in chat and if anyone had inside information it would be him. He believes they are guilty. Now do I expect anyone to give my post more weight because of this information... absolutely not. I don't think you can take this case and look at the evidence one by one... I think you have to put it together and look at the whole picture and that whole picture is guilt for me.
FYI: It's not one confession, it's now 4 proven confessions. (I count the first two as one, so technically it's 5)
I think you may have misread my post. It was how I feel and my experiences. I'm not trying to prove anything with my post....I was simply relating to the above poster--that is all. By inside information I mean - they're also investigators/they are very familiar with the case.....they can understand things from a point of view that I simply cannot.
You believe they're guilty-I am starting completely over. Give me a littttttle bit of slack You seem to be well-read on this case and I just thought I was....that is why I'm starting over.
