I really don't remember, but he had been in pretty serious trouble.
And do you know why he was acquitted?
The jury just didn't believe they made a case. Neither did I.
Is the inconclusive DNA testing the reason he was acquitted?
NO. DNA was not in vogue at the time tests were done 10 or 15
years later. My guess is if that he would have been released
today with that finding. There has been many books written
on this case lot of varied opinions.
There is a witness that swears he dropped 3 people off near the camp that night, but he has been totally ignored. People tried
to get a grand jury started, but they had lots of road blocks from
authorities.
As for Gene Hart, this viral young Indian that had evaded hundreds
of people searching the woods for him, conviently died of a
massive heart attack, while in prison.
The FBI, Special forces, OCB, Special dogs, helicopters with
super secret infrared detectors, and this clever Indain survived
in the woods living off the land. Or so the story went.
He himself said in the only interview with him after the trial
that he slept in a bed every night. This was a really big media
event, they had to have someone so.....
The theory that he went into the tent and killed three girls and dragged them out into the woods all by himself just never washed with me nor the jury apparently. Bur hey, they closed the case
and that is what it is all about, I guess.
That entire story is terrible. I know there are cases like that out there..no doubt.

I'm pinging ucansee2 to help fill in the blanks if he can. We live in the same area..which is why I'm pinging him. There was a case in our metro area, which 6 teens (3 boys, 3 girls) were accosted by "2" males w/guns. the girls got "raped" and all but 1 girl were killed execution style...if I recall correctly. Anything can happen. :( Ucansee2, can you remember the details? It's been awhile....
