    They ought to start charging a nominal fee for an account on this board so we won't be subjected to people signing up just to bait others.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    One thing that I always think about is that those types of crimes are usually committed over and over until the person(s) are caught. There weren't anymore committed similarly in that area after they were arrested.

    I think your assesment is a little off. I dotn see it as a serial crime, i see it more as a vengeful killing.

    well duh, i can't say that i'm absolutely 100% correct, i wasn't there...but the judicial system came to the same conclusion i did and from the last info i got, every appeal has been turned down since then. are you going to tell me that every single person that has been involved in prosecuting these kids and every judge that's had a part in these cases just want to put these kids away because they wore black coats and listened to metallica?

    seriously, i'm tired of arguing this topic with the empty skulls around here (not pointing at anyone in particular). bottom line: they murdered 3 children. they're in jail for it, where they belong. echols will be put to death sometime in the future. i say not soon enough.

    From the limited research that I have done on this case, I agree with you. Maybe the were railroaded, but with all of the money that has been raised for their defense, I find it hard to believe that they haven't come up with anything in any appeal that wasn't substantial enough to get any of them a new trial.

    sorry, I don't think is the best political cause out there. seems like ending the war is more important (shit, Damien Echols even wrote a song about it). and you also got universal healthcare, corporate crime, etc.

    i would like to know more about it. i read about it once, but i haven't seen Paradise Lost yet.

    Oh wow I'll be banned. I can't imagine How much that would hurt. I don't know how you great guys even like Pearl Jam. I mean they stand for everything you hate like justice and equality. If anyone should be banned it should be you dipshits that spread all this hate around the board.

    No that is not the only source but it is one of the best. I bet you now are going to tell me that it was not a well made documentary. I mean it is not as reliable as your source which I bet is fox news.

    So Are you saying that no innocent people have ever been executed? I bet you believe OJ was innocent because by your logic the court found him innocent so he must be innocent. Have you ever seen Paradise lost? Bet you haven't probably a little to complicated for you. Sleep well at night knowing that an innocent man was killed.

    Maybe you haven't paid attention to what happened in Illinois. They released 13 people over 11 years who were INNOCENT!

    In the aftermath of that Illinois conducted a study of the death penalty that showed SYSTEMATIC problems in the criminal justice system. Yes, police, prosecutors, crime labs latch onto suspects very quickly and then push the evidence, ignore witnesses, hide evidence, etc. Maybe Illinois was worse than Texas or Florida or Virginia or Arkansas, but somehow I doubt it. You can read the reports about Illinois here:

    http://www.idoc.state.il.us/ccp/ccp/reports/index.html

    Or if you can't be bothered with all that public policy, read about Gary Gauger:

    http://www.law.northwestern.edu/depts/clinic/wrongful/exonerations/IllinoisList.htm

    Or read about Rolando Cruz:

    http://www.law.northwestern.edu/depts/clinic/wrongful/exonerations/cruz.htm

    Or pick a name at random of all these guys in Illinois who got "trials" but were later exonerated:

    http://www.law.northwestern.edu/depts/clinic/wrongful/exonerations/IllinoisList.htm

    And in the Echols case, they're just getting around to doing DNA testing. How long has it been and no DNA testing?

    Just because they got a trial doesn't mean it was a fair trial. I have a friend who worked on a death penalty case for 15 years. After 15 years -- and the guy within a month of his execution -- the defense team found out that the prosecutors were hiding an important piece of evidence that would have convinced a jury that the guy didn't commit the crime at all. You can't have a fair trial if prosecutors are hiding evidence.

    And you're right, no one would care if Eddie didn't care. But that's a shame, because we routinely put people in prison -- and even execute them -- when they didn't commit the crime they were charged with. And if we don't care about that, what the hell have we come to?

    Oh, and I signed the petition.
    "Things will just get better and better even though it
    doesn't feel that way right now. That's the hopeful
    idea . . . Hope didn't get much applause . . .
    Hope! Hope is the underdog!"

Oh that only applies to people that are just like you. Wow it is scary how many people believe in this drivel.
