    Jessie Misskelley’s many confessions

    None of these are confessions by Damien Echols. They're all second-hand statements made by individuals who claimed to have 'overheard' Damien Echols talking.

    Also, William Jones later recanted his statement.
    Eight year old Aaron Hutcheson was considered unbelievable even by the West Memphis police.
    And Alvis Bly was considered a '"drug looped" mental case'.

    Secondary fiber evidence

    You mean fibers found on a knife that wasn't found at the scene of the crime?

    Two black polyester and one blue polyester fiber found on a knife (E-134). There is no reason to think the knife was involved in the crime in any way. Nor is there any reason to believe it was found at the crime scene. It was found at 'Marion High School'.
    While the crime lab found fibers similar to items from the Echols and Baldwin residences on this knife, there's no reason at all to think the fibers can be tied to the murders, crime scene, or victims.

    Jason Baldwin’s jailhouse confession

    By the time of the trials, Michael Carson [who Baldwin allegedly 'confessed' to] had been in and out of juvenile facilities for burglary and falsifying his identity. He had completed at least two stays in mental health facilities. He was diagnosed as having alcohol, hallucinogen and marijuana dependency and polysubstance abuse.

    His counsellor contacted Baldwin's defense attorneys to warn them of his concerns that Carson would lie about his testimony.

    The terrible thing in all of this is that 3 young boys lost their lives and there will not be any justice for their deaths.

    I hope that whoever killed those kids has a terrible life filled with personal tragedy. This is a very sad case for all involved. I've not read enough to make my own conclusion about the WM3, not sure I really want to at this point.

    I think I've read several of Misskelleys confessions (a few years back). I thought they were all different in details (time, locations, what went down). I believe they were also inadmissible in Echols and Baldwins trials (I assume this is because he was trading his confession for less severe punishment)

    Some of the people who overheard Echols talking about the crime recanted, some were considered unreliable..

    I think the fiber evidence and knife were not concrete evidence.

    I have not seen or heard of Baldwins jailhouse confession. I am curious, where did you see this. I'd like to hear, although most jailhouse confessions to cellmates and such are highly unreliable.

    I had never heard of the necklace with blood evidence. I wonder why that wasnt allowed to be used as evidence. If it was inadmissible, then it didnt have a bearing on the trial. Of the evidence I saw related to the trial and actual conviction, I thought it was shoddy all the way around. You have to remember to stick to the things that were used to convict them.

    Blockhead,
    You need to read the totality of the evidence out there, not just pick and choose items that support your position. Many of us here are WM3 supporters, but not because Ed told us to. We watched the the news reports, read the transcripts (including those of Terry Hobbs' deposition), and then we made our decision. I think the juror misconduct alone in Damien and Jason's trial are enough for you to question the outcome of their trial. Then the factual errors in Jessie's confession are enough to question the outcome of his.
    It's nice to be nice to the nice.

    “Mom told me to apply for disability – what do you think?”
    Reveals a history of abuse as he talked of how he was treated as a child.

    He’s had three psychiatric hospitalizations. Each has been associated with anger, thoughts of killing others and thoughts of killing himself. He’s not currently suicidal or homicidal.
    052: Individual Progress Note (1/25/93)
    The theme of this poem centered around death and power.
    Damien explained that he obtains his power by drinking blood of others. He typically drinks the blood of a sexual partner or of a ruling partner. This is achieved by biting or cutting. He states “it makes me feel like a god.” Damien describes drinking blood as giving him more power and strength. He remembers doing this as far back as 10….
    He wants very much to be all powerful.
    Damien relates that a spirit is now living with him. The spirit was put inside him last year. He indicates that a month ago the spirit decided to become part of him and he to become part of the spirit. This is reportedly a spirit of a woman who was killed by her husband. When questioned about how he feels with this spirit or what the difference is, Damien is able to relate that he feels stronger and more powerful with this spirit. He has not seen the spirit but does hear the spirit. In addition, he also reports conversations with demons and other spirits. This is achieved through rituals. He denies that he is satanic, seeing himself more as being involved in demonology.

    Includes reading, maths, language, written sample, science.
    148: Physicians Progress Record: (continued physician progress note- late entry) (9/2/92)
    He appears to be an individual who passively provokes anxiety in others including actual petty criminal behaviour, now mixed up with suicidal threats entitling him to psychiatric treatment.
    He is not sucidal, but rather is in disagreement about living in Oregon and on this basis pines for Arkansas and his friends.
    Handwritten: “I’m the only person who stands up to my Dad. My Mom just cries but I don’t stand for him pushing me around. I don’t want anything to do [with] either one of them. I just want to be on my own from here on out. I’m not suicidal, that’s their way of trying t keep me in a hospital & away from my friends & girlfriend.”….
    His plan is to cash his last pay check & return to Arkansas by bus where he states friends family have agreed to let him live [with] them. He plans to contact local probation.
    149: Physicians Progress Record: (continued physician progress note) (9/4/92)
    His return to Arkansas will be facilitated and his discharge will be conditional upon proper arrangements made by the probation officer in Washington County connecting with the probation officer in his home in Arkansas.
    Nursing Progress note:
    Problem #2: Discharge Planning.
    Patient is scheduald to be discharged today between 3 and 4.00pm., at which time his mther will be in to pick him up….. The mother was notified by phne that Damien could be discharged today, and she will make arrangements with the bus ticket and make arrangements with Arkansas authorities.
    150: Physician’s Progress Record: Social Service Assessment- Initial (9/4/92)
    Assessment with Pam and Joe- not Damien.
    Briefly, Pam stated that she has had difficulty with Damien since he was 10 years old. He always tended to be an angry child and somewhat difficult to manage, particularly through his adolescent years. She is convinced that he is into activities, such as witchcraft and is very concerned about the quality of friends that he developed while living in Arkansas. For this reason, she felt coming to Oregn would be a new beginning for him….
    Because of the circumstances that precipitated the hospitalization and Damien’s threats, particulary towards his father and of course his mother, both parents do not feel that they wish to have him return to their home. They are frightened of him and what he can do, not only to them but to other children that reside in the home (2 others)
    Damien does not want to remain in Oregon. He wishes to return to Arkansas

    The WM3 Alibis: Summary of Damien. Please read to see how many time the story changes...
    Damien:

    In notes-May 9th it says that Damien, Domini and Jason stated that they were picked up at 6.00pm from the Laundromat by Damien’s father. That they then dropped Jason and Domini home.

    However,
    In a later interview (May 10th) Damien states that his mother picked him up from the Laundromat. He then says that after dropping Domini at her home, (not Jason as well) he, his mother and father and his sister all went to the Sanders house to visit. They stayed there from 3-5pm.

    On May 12th Damien’s mother gave this statement to police.
    In it she says that at around 12.30, she took Damien from the East Arkansas Mental Health place to the pharmacy and left his prescription there. She dropped Damien at Jason’s house at about 1pm. She says she collected the medicine on THURSDAY morning.
    At 3.45ish he phones and asks her to pick him up from the Laundromat. She dropped Domini off (again no Jason) and they were home by 4.10pm.
    She says that at 6-6.30 they went to the sanders house.
    (this is the time that Damien originally said he was picked up from the laundromat and is also the same time that his father said he was home.)
    Stayed for about an hour/got back after about an hour.
    She says that the day before (May 4th) , her and Joe had separated and Joe had moved out.

    She later says that no, that whole "separation" incident happened on May 9th, not May 4th.
    (remember she has said that Joe was with them all day on May 5th…would he have been with them if he’d left the house on May 4th? I doubt it. So the date is now changed to May 9th.)
    When she gave her interview on May 12th, she apparently couldn’t remember that her hubby and her separated THREE days before.

    On Sept 10th Pam gives another statement This time she says that she took Damien to DOMINI’S house NOT Jason’s at about 1pm.
    She then says that her, damien’s dad and michelle pick up Damien and Domini from the landromat at about 3.45pm. They drop Domini off and go and collect Damien’s prescription at about 4.30. (before she had said that she picked up the medicine on THURSDAY AM.)
    At 6.30 they go to the Sanders house and got there at about 6.45-50pm. They stayed for 30 mins and went back home. Damien was on the phone from 7.30 – 10.30ish.

    In 2000 Stacy Coker says in her declaration

    "I was at our trailer the evening of May 5, 1993 and I saw him and Domini going into the house across the street."


    This is not what she testified to at the trial:

    "Um - I was watching tv and my cousin, Meridith, looked out the window and said Pam and Joe are at your house. And I looked out there and seen Pam and Joe and Damien at my house."

    And it's not what she said in her statement either.

    This is what Susan Sanders stated on May17th:

    "2 Days later Damien's Mother told her (Susan Sanders) that the police would come by her house and ask her questions and told her to Remember that her and Damien Came to Visit her on 5-5-93 that Evening Also told her that Damien Didn't Kill those Boys he was with her all night."


    So...we have more than a few discrepancies...

    1# Change in time from around 3 to around 6.30.
    2# Change from taking Jason home to just taking Domini home.
    3# Change in when Damien's medicine was collected.
    4# Change in the date when Joe and Pam seperated.
    5# Change in who was seen going into the Sanders residence.
    6# Change in Damien getting home at 6 and staying at home through the night.
    7# Change in Damien being picked up from the laundromat at 6 to 3.45

    WM# Alibis for Jessie.
    Jessie:

    Jessie's main alibis were centered around two things:
    1# that Stephanie Dollar says he was standing near 3 police cars in the trailer park at 6.30pm.
    2# that he then went wrestling.

    So, Stephanie Dollar testifies that Jessie was standing about 5 yards from the police car, at least within earshot.

    One of the Police officers, James Dollahite testifies:

    FOGLEMAN: Okay. Now let me back up, on the first time you were there, did you see the defendant?

    DOLLAHITE: No sir.

    FOGLEMAN: Alright, are you acquainted with the defendant?

    DOLLAHITE: Yes sir.

    FOGLEMAN: Okay. On the second call, when you got there at 6:31, did you see the defendant?

    DOLLAHITE: No sir.


    Infact, none of the officers that were present saw him there.
    Joe McCafferty
    Jason Oliver


    So, apparently he then went wrestling.

    People testify that he was going wrestling, people testify that he had gone wrestling.

    The fact that:
    “Dyess Mayor Edward Wooten said there hasn't been a wrestling match in Dyess for more than a year. "There were no wrestling matches that day in the town of Dyess," Wooten said.” doesn’t seem to bother Jessie’s pals.




    Apart from that, the reason the alibis for this "wrestling" thing may have failed for the defence, can be shown very clearly in the testimony of Fred Revelle

    Here's a bit of it:

    DAVIS: Now, the receipt, and I’m going to show you a copy of a receipt. You told officers, you said “We paid $300 dollars and that’s why I remember it was the fifth [May] cause we went down there”—In fact you and Bill Cox went down there and paid him the money, right? That’s what you told officers?

    REVELLE: Yes sir.

    DAVIS: Ok. I wanna show you a receipt. (HANDING) And does that receipt have your name at the top?

    REVELLE: (EXAMINING) Yes sir.

    DAVIS: Ok. You’re Fred Revelle, right?

    REVELLE: Yes sir.

    DAVIS: Ok, and does that receipt reflect that you paid Charles Stone $300 dollars?

    REVELLE: Yes sir.

    DAVIS: Ok, and what date does that receipt show?

    REVELLE: April 27th.

    <snip>

    DAVIS: Ok, and then you tell the police that it’s all connected to this $300 dollar payment. And you found out after that that the $300 dollar payment was made on April 27th, didn’t you?

    REVELLE: It was made at a earlier date, yes.

    DAVIS: Ok, and so then when you come back and formulate this new theory as to why you’re there on May fifth, when was it that you went and told the police about this new theory you’d formulated?

    REVELLE: I never talked to the police. After that.

    DAVIS: You never told this to the police?

    REVELLE: No sir.


    Others also put Jessie wrestling in Dyess on the night of the murders. It is my opinion that they are lying...or mistaken.

    It’s my opinion that Jessie’s dad organised people to make statements on behalf of his son that were untrue. (also alluded to by the prosecution)

    Conveniently, all of Jessie’s alibi witnesses claimed to remember that day specifically because of various things…(A police report and a receipt)
    Well….the police said they never saw Jessie and the receipt was for the WEEK BEFORE the murders.

    You see, Jessie’s own father said that he may have been there, but that he didn’t think he was involved in it.
    In court he attempted to say that even though he made that comment, he remembered exactly where Jessie was because that was the night that he (Jessie Sr) had to go to a DWI class.
    So….if he was NOW sure where Jessie was….why was he originally telling people that Jessie may have been there?
    Because he DID NOT KNOW WHERE JESSIE WAS.

    So, Jessie Sr reckons he can remember that night (may 5th) because of a DWI class:

    A: It was seven o'clock when I got out of DWI school.


    Unfortunately, the teacher of the class testified:

    Q: Okay. And when would those classes end?

    A: Well, anywhere from 7:30 to 8:00. But on these particular ones, they ran closer to 8:00 because it was my first ...? and I was being evaluated.

    The prosecution attempted to show that these alibis were manufactured.
    It’s my opinion that they succeeded in doing that.

    Jason:

    Jason’s lawyer, Paul “like my ponytail?” Ford, didn’t establish an alibi for Jason in court, IIRC, he said in one of the PL films to Jason: (PARAPHRASING BTW) “look how they tore into Damien’s witnesses? Well they can’t do that to you because we didn’t call any!!!!”

    This is Matt's statement


    As you can see, Matt was not with Jason all the time.
    And no, Jason does not have a “solid alibi”.

    Jason’s great uncle says that Jason went to mow his yard at 4.30 - 6.30pm.
    He says Jason was alone.


    Domini says that she and Damien went with him to watch him mow his Uncle’s lawn.
    She says that they got to his uncles at 4-4.15pm.

    Well, Matt says that Jason left his trailer at 4.30pm.
    Matt doesn’t see either Damien or Domini:


    MATTHEW: YEA, JASON AND KEN DID, THEY WALKED UP TO

    FOGLEMAN: DID YOU SEE THEM LEAVE?

    MATTHEW: YEA

    FOGLEMAN: ALRIGHT, WERE THEY ALONG WHEN THEY LEFT?

    MATTHEW: YEA

    FOGLEMAN: ARE YOU SURE?

    MATTHEW: YEA, I'M SURE

    FOGLEMAN: ALRIGHT, DO YOU KNOW WHY KEN WOULD SAY THAT... THAT UH DAMIEN AND DOMINI WERE THERE?

    MATTHEW: THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN THERE AFTER THEY LEFT THE TRAILER, THEY MIGHT OF COME UP ON THEM


    Yeah they might’ve? Cept Domini says she was AT his trailer and left WITH Jason and Damien and Ken:



    DOMINI- YEAH, WE ALL WENT BACK TO HIS HOUSE.

    FOGLEMAN- ALRIGHT. AND WHO WAS AT JASON'S HOUSE WHEN YOU GOT THERE?

    DOMINI- UM...HIS LITTLE BROTHERS.

    FOGLEMAN- WHT ARE THERE NAMES?

    DOMINI- MATTHEW AND TERRY. AND HE CALLED HIS MOM, AND HIS MOM TOLD HIM HE NEEDED TO GO OVER TO HIS UNCLE'S AND MOW THE LAWN.

    FOGLEMAN- OKAY.

    DOMINI- SO, WE ALL GOT UP AND WE ALL WALKED OVER TO HIS UNCLE'S.

    FOGLEMAN- OKAY. ABOUT WHAT TIME DID YA'LL GET TO HIS UNCLE'S?

    DOMINI- UM...4 O'CLOCK(INAUDIBLE) SOMETHING LIKE THAT.


    Shame that Jason’s Great Uncle doesn’t recall seeing Damien or Domini either huh?
    Oh wait that’s right….he DID see them, just not on May 5th.


    And you might want to check out Ken Watkin’s statements.
    Statement 1
    Ken also says it was another day that Jason mowed the lawn, NOT May 5th. He also says that they left Jason’s trailer and went to Wal-mart, they didn’t go to mow a lawn. Statement 2

    haha, what am I posting that is selective, its not like I am leaving things out.
    THey are all court documents showing:
    THey lied about all there alibis and damiens story changes up to 7 times (same with Jesse)
    Miskelleys had multiple confessions (also after conviction) he named pieces of evidence (Evan Williams bottle) and where they could be found.
    Damiens mental history.
    Damiens necklace with 2 types of blood on it. Later found that it matched blood of one of the victims. (The court document has been posted a page or two back, explaning why the piece could lead to mistrial)
    You see that and you see Innocent?
    At least my info is factual unlike everybody else that has commented. No one else has posted anything from the courts, people are only refering to Eddie and Paradise Lost (1 &2) why do you give those movies any credit when they are extremely biased and portray one of the murders as a RETARD and I just showed court documents where he had a normal IQ and tried to LIE to make it look like he was mentally challenged...
    And I am the one being selective... If you actually have a rebutle please contribute, if not shut the fuck up.

    THEY Are statements FROM PEOPLE who HEARD damien confess... How do you not understand that.
    Keep getting your info from Eddie, and those Paradise Lost movies. Have you posted a single item from the case?
    All my links are court documents showing:
    They all lied about their alibis and changed their story up to 7 times. WHy would they do that if they are innocent?
    Damiens mental history
    Damiens necklace with two different types of blood matching one of the boys.
    Its hard to take you seriously when you can't post anything that supports your case of their innocence.
    Please post some court docuemnts, Ill be waiting.
    Or are you going to refer to your Paradise lost movie when they portray one of the boys as mentally challenged when he confessed.
    Why do you ignore all the confessions from MIskelly naming the evans williams bottle and where it would be?

    Q. Mr. Price has asked you about your feelings about being arrested. You said you had good days and bad days. Was it a bad day the day after you were arrested when you blew a kiss to the victims' families? Was that a bad day when you did that?

    A. That was one of the times I lost my temper.

    Q. You lost your temper is why you blew a kiss to the victims' families?

    A. Yes.

    For supports, why would an innocent person blow kisses at the victims families?

    http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/noto ... nce_7.html
    On the night of Damien’s arrest, a necklace he was wearing was taken in as evidence and sent away for testing as there appeared to be blood spots on it. The results of these tests were not available when other evidence had been presented at the trial so the prosecution asked for a continuance in order to obtain these results. The continuance was granted and the court reconvened two days later. The minute quantities of genetic material present for testing meant that only the blood types present could be determined. It was found that one spot was consistent with the blood type of Damien and the second spot was consistent with the blood type shared by both Jason Baldwin and Steven Branch, and 11% of the world’s population.

    Because there was evidence to show that both Jason and Damien were known to wear this necklace on occasions, Judge Burnett offered the State the opportunity to re-open the case presenting the new evidence, if they would agree to a severance for Jason Baldwin from the State’s case against Damien Echols as it was no longer legally acceptable for the defendants to be tried together. The reason for this was that the evidence could now be used by either party to implicate the other in what is called an "antagonistic defense." The State chose not to present the evidence and proceeded to its closing arguments. This was probably because this new evidence was very weak and a case against Jason standing on its own merits would be very risky for the State...'
