I have seen all of them. The third one is on now. Hit websites etc.. I still see a viable scenario in which Damien as ringleader got the other two followers to commit the crimes. The Alford plea is all about preventing punitive damage claims. People with deep pockets leaned on these Arkansas folks.

It's pretty likely that Stevie Branch's stepfather Terry Hobbs was behind the murders. The man had a history of violence, sexually abused his children regularly, DNA evidence tied him to the crime scene, and he also got dentures to make sure his teeth imprints couldn't be a match for the bite marks on Stevie's forehead.

The reason why I commented is because I watched all three pretty recently and there wasn't a second when any irrefutable evidence was put in front of a jury that a logical person looks at and thinks these kids were guilty.

I remember specifically when the slow kid says it happens at a certain period of the day (day or night) and the interrogator specifically rephrases the question to make him commit to the actual story.

Maybe it's me but I just never felt like they got a fair trial originally. They just kept bringing the concept of being a cult kid and liking heavy metal to the jury as proof of a triple murder. That type of speculative evidence shouldn't be justifiable.

but isnt accusing that guy with no real evidence the same thing that outraged the people when it was done to the kids. It could be downright libel. Some situations in life require a more sophisticated thought process than that which can be found in Metallica lyrics.

There was a confession. Thats better than any physical evidence.

Wow. Read up on the Norfolk Four. Not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 different men confessed to committing a crime they didn't commit. No physical evidence whatsoever. Years later, someone confessed, and DNA matched him.

Norfolk Four

There's also a really good Frontline documentary on Netflix instant called The Confessions. Check it out.

I have followed this case for 15 years and did 3 research papers on it for high school or college. I have spoken to Jesse Miskelley myself since he was released. There are tons of facts not even shown in the movies. To say they are guilty at this point is ignorant and wrong. Nobody deserves what they got. While I don't think Damien is a great person and was probably on a bad path to begin with, he didn't deserve what he got. This case is far from over. They are currently in the process of proving innocence and prosecuting the actual killers.

So you watched all three documentaries, and your conclusion is they're still guilty? Geez. A skeptic, sir, you are not.
