My understanding from what I have read so far:
He was the last one seen with the girls
He led the authorities to the murder weapon
He confessed to the crime
His family told a different story
Technicality? Fine, throw it out. Innocent until proven guilty? Sure thing sign me up.
Screw just swallowing this glob of white guilt without asking questions about the evidence though. Had this same thing happened to a white kid almost none of you would have heard about it because it wouldn't be trumpeted far and wide.

here is what happened. The two girls went by his house when he was working in the yard with his family. They asked where they could find a certain type of flower, and then the girls left. He did not leave with them. He was not 'with the girls.' Later, when the girls went missing, he was part of the giant search party who went with them. You believe that a confession obtained from a 14 year old who had no access to his family or a lawyer while being grilled by a bunch of hillbilly detectives all day is valid? I have some land in Cameron parish to sell you.
The only evidence linking him to the girls' death was that he was seen talkign to them earlier that day in front of his house. That, and the evidence you have conjured up in your mind. Oh, and the murder weapon ? A 20 lb railroad spike he wasn't even capable of wielding.

The laughable irony of this stupidity is that in this thread we have been informed that a)the proceedings were proper according to the laws of the time and b)we're not just swallowing this recent court dismissal without asking questions (although very clearly the dismissal itself is proper according to the laws of THIS time.
