Allow any current foreigners to be grandfathered in.

Do I like that compromise? HELL NO.

But, I'd like to see them weasle out of voting "Yes" with that offer.

Wood fix her.

It's semi-go time!

He could've been played by an 80s Tom Berenger.

We're movin' on up!

The podcast lays out the geography of the crime scene in relation to the Bojangles restaurant and dissects the unliklyhood that an offender would have gone there of all places. It's a bit further on foot and out of the way than most assume.

They also play the court testimony of the restaurant manager and all his statements to police showing there were inconsistencies.

For example, he said the man was dirty, covered in blood, and had soiled himself. But, he never said he was "wet and muddy" as the real offender would assuredly be after climbing out of the ditch where the boys were drowned.

The "wet and muddy" angle probably came from the police or possibly even media.

As is, the cop who showed up that night came thru the restaurant DRIVE-THRU and never entered the building. Other police showed up a few days later, after the bathroom had been cleaned, to pursue the lead.

The manager didn't know about the boys that night, so he was just trying to do his job by cleaning. He did keep the man's sunglasses, but the police promptly misplaced them along with any other swabs they took.

Sometimes you just gotta make a grilled cheese sandwich and beat your meat in front of the ole lady.

Just so she's knows that she's expendable.

Godspeed, OP.

I will say that I thought they were guilty for a long time. One things that supports their lack of guilt is their lack of recidivism. Human nature is such that you commit that type of crime for one of two reasons: 1) hate that turns into gage ; 2) true predatory behavior. Regardless, both will repeat the behavior bc they cat control the rage or urge to predate or a weaker victim. Here , NONE of the three have committed any know subsequent acts of a violent nature. They are either an extreme anomaly or innocent.

Very good point. I believe Echols has written a book or two. Studies crystals, healing thru magick, mysticism, or the like. No run-ins with the law.

Baldwin has founded/helped out with innocence projects for other alleged wrongfully convicted people. No run-ins with the law.

Misskelley does construction and generally keeps the lowest of profiles by staying close to family. He did get pulled over for driving without a license, I believe, but nothing came of it.

They don't seem like people who have had problems with discipline or failure to control urges since being released.

Listen carefully to the actual tape-recorded confession from Misskelley.

People who feel he is guilty point to him describing what happened to the victims. However, the West Memphis police testified that they showed Jessie a morgue photo of one of the boys. He then preceded to confess based on exactly what he saw in that photo. Continue listening to the recorded confession and you will NOT find a single detail recounted by Misskelley that wasn't already fed to him, on tape, by the police. He gave ZERO ACCURATE details in that entire confession that he provided on his own. He only spoke on what he saw in the grisly picture and by what the police told him just moments prior on tape. Most of his dialogue is him agreeing by saying, "Yea", "Yes", "Mmmhmm", etc. He was a mentally slow person that simply wanted to please the authorities by agreeing, so he would be released.

Now, people will point to the fact that the police spoke to him at length prior to turning on the recorder. However, the police notes do not offer a single time that he provided evidence in that unrecorded conversation.

His "Bible" confession to attorney Dan Stidham after the conviction was based on everything that he had just heard in court. Furthermore, buried in that confession is actually his alibi, and he didn't even realize it. He was actually involved in an incident around the critical time the kids went missing. Police records document the incident. However, the authorities claim Misskelley wasn't on scene, yet there are a half-dozen witnesses who corroborate that he was indeed present.

It's sad for the 3 victims. It's sad for the 3 convicted. It's sad for all of those involved.

Has anyone else listened to the "Truth & Justice with Bob Ruff" podcast? It's from 2017-2018 and covers the case in extreme detail over the course about 65-70 episodes. It's NOT a cursory 1-2 hour "deep dive" as most podcasts are on cases.

You hear quite a bit of actual recorded court testimony, the Misskelley "confession", etc etc etc. The host went to West Memphis approximately 15-20 times to investigate the crime scene and interview those around the case.

I'm not quite done with the podcast yet, but getting there. Highly, highly recommended. Lots of info not covered in the 3 documentaries or any other place.

Better that, than tearing his sack up on a knee. That will NEVER look good.
