Seems like ol Jessie is getting the short end of the stick here. Damien and Jason are jetting around the globe and talking it up with the rich and famous while he gets evicted in Arkansas. Doesn't seem like the WM3 money is getting its fair distribution.

Hey, I have an idea, how about having the occupy people get involved with this! The big rich two 2% are not helping the 1%. Maybe they're still mad about the testimony thing? But still, where is the justice. And Peter Jackson could help buy him a home if he wanted. One years rent? It takes him about 2 seconds of a film to make that. Good grief.

What judge? Who? On what legal basis?

I guess the legal basis of someone who had to admit a crime they didn't commit in order to gain freedom. A judge cant have children living with murderers. Just a mess all the way around. But my point of the distribution of WM3 money holds true. Jessie is getting the shaft.

Umm...he plead guilty to the murder of 3 children...I know everyone is going to say "They only plead guilty so they could be set free." BUT put yourself in the shoes of the judge who ordered that Misskelley couldn't be in the home of the person who has custody of this child...IF something were to happen to this child while Misskelley was living there and the judge had allowed him to remain in the home knowing the "history" there would be a "Lynch Mob" to get the judge AND Misskelley...the judge is damned if he does and damed if he doesn't.

Can't argue with you on this Sb

I can argue with her, jrb. Southernbelle exemplifies southern "justice" at its most casually don't-rock-the-boat corrupt.

Under the Alford plea by which the WM3 were released, they maintain their innocence while the courts maintain there is enough evidence to convict them.

If that were true, why not retry and convict them with certainty, once and for all?

Here's why not.

In light of all the evidence AGAINST the Wm3's guilt that's piled up over the years of their incarceration, thoroughly covered by Mara Leveritt and depicted in the documentaries, the Arkansas law enforcement and judicial systems desperately wished to avoid a retrial which they would lose, thus opening their corrupt selves to leaving the state liable for break-the-bank millions in multiple lawsuits -- which the already poor, already backward Natural State would ALSO lose.

They also desperately wanted to save their ugly corrupt faces.

This judge (unnamed so far) simply continues the original corruption in forcing Misskelley to move. Giving a pass to previous corruption, as does Southernbelle and so many others.

Southernbelle raises a hypothetical "IF" and, perhaps correctly, assumes that a "Lynch Mob" would "get" both the judge and Misskelley if he'd ruled otherwise.

That too bespeaks nothing so much as continuing the tradition of southern ignorance, superstition (Satan worship was at fault here? Not.), irrational violence and eagerness to assault or kill those who tell the truth and refuse to excuse Good Ol' Boy southern corruption.

This judge is only "damned if he does and damned if he doesn't" in that he's chosen to fall in line with the Good Ol' Boys at the expense of his own (and Arkansas's) honor and justice.

Until enough Arkansans stand up to this pervasive inbred corruption, still so offhandedly excused, it will happen repeatedly -- and publicly -- driving business, education, jobs, money, people, talent and progress to other states.

Arkansas's law enforcement and judicial systems have damned themselves here, before the entire world.

No one else has.

One is unaware of any "violent episodes" after Misskelley's time in prison.

Please. Exactly what were they and when did they occur?

Thank you, ATF550.

Norma is right. Put your facts where your mouth is ATF550. If this is your ID as a federal Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agent, I doubt that you should be posting this information. if you have any, on a public blog. If not, you'd better provide the facts before you get any credibility here.

Guilty or innocent, your ex living with a convicted murderer, with your child, is plenty of grounds for you to go to court to contest--and win--custody. Alleged history of violence is irrelevant. It ain't happenin'. If you want to deny your ex custody, this is the perfect excuse.

who is this wm3=guilty person? GAWD almighty? not only is she/he/it condemning the three people who were set free because the state's case had long ago been exposed as a tissue of scapegoating, shoddy detective work, prejudicial and self-serving prosecutorial (mis-)behavior and ass-covering judicial actions, but she/he/it is now condemning those of us who actually looked at the evidence, such as there was, through the perspective of time and outside of the cultural hothouse of the Crittenden County law enforcement and courts system of the 1990s and saw the prosecutor driving that hysterical train and that judge waving from the caboose as they railroaded those three into prison for nearly 20 years.

Murderer worship? Come on. whoever you are, you are showing yourself no different from the lynch-mob mongers in the Crittenden County "justice" system who are still trying to cover up their own incompetence even after everyone else has realized that there is a killer or killers who walked away from those heinous crimes, laughing smugly at how the bumbling bunglers put three people away for crimes they didn't commit.

The witch hunt is over, dude. The real killers walked. Three people's lives were ruined for the crime of being different. And you are still hunting witches. Merry Christmas to you, friend, and may Gawd have mercy on your soul.

I knew Jessie would have the hardest time of out of the three of them. He's mildy retarded, and he lives with the guilt that he thinks it's his fault the three of them were convicted of this awful crime. Now they have to live as convicts. What a messed up world. The justice system won't even investigate who really killed those kids because the official record says that Damien, Jessie and Jason did it, end of story. Someone out there has gotten away with a triple homicide for almost 20 years, a second crime commited by the state of Arkansas. I guess they don't care about that part, only that the prosectution got to keep a checkmark in the "win" column.

Check your facts straight before you comment. He did not get the "shaft". He chose not to be in the spotlight. He has learning problems and has some serious emotional problems. He just can not handle certain situations.

Hey, Bush and Cheney arranged for this to happen several times a week and you stood around and cheered while totally innocent people were snatched off the streets and tortured to get more names for torture so the previously snatched person could go free, after "confessing."

Let's call a spade a goddamned shovel, you love coercion.

Wow this is crazy...im from West Memphis all those guys are a few years younger than me..I knew the lil weirdos. Regardless of guilt or innocence they are free. WMPD the state ofand Arkansas fucked up. Itz crazy to sit here and listen to people think a couple of dumb ass teenagers with a retard could pull off three murders without leaving enough hard evidence to have and open shut case without fuck up. They weren't that smart. If these guys would have gotten a fair trial and the investigators would have gotten pure concrete evidence to support their claim this wouldn't be an issue..This is more of a case of a flawed system either way Itz only one group to blame the dumb ass who handled the case and the State...Y didn't they just say fuck it give them a new trial burn they ass if Itz so open and shut...just like u have new evidence to prove innocence ...im pretty sure the same can be used to shut the door for good....but Itz funny cuz these dumb muhfukas all call it a truce...I never in my life heard a system say well u guilty but imma let u go. Itz only one loser in this is 3 dead lil boys whose case was conducted by idiots
