Death
He told the kids in the car to get out or he would shoot them. I went on up there and he had put them in the trunk of their car. He drove his car back to their car, and he told me to get in his car and follow him. I did, and we drove for a while across the highway we had come in on, and he pulled into a field. I followed, and he said that the field wouldn't do, so we backed up and went to another field. He got out and told the girl to get out. He told me to put her in the trunk of his car. I opened the trunk and she climbed in. It was then that he said that we couldn't leave any witnesses, or something like that. He said 'I'm gonna have to knock 'em off', or something like that. I got really scared. I still thought he was joking, but I wasn't sure. They were on their knees, begging him not to shoot them. They said, "We're not going to tell anybody". I turned towards him and he stuck the gun into the trunk of where the boys were and started shooting. I saw the fire come out of the gun on the first shot, and I covered my ears and looked away. He shot six times. He shot one twice in the head, and he shot the other boy four times in the head. A bullet went through a boy's arm as he tried to stop the fire. He tried to close the trunk, but it wouldn't close. He then told me to back up his car. By that time I was almost dying of fright, and I did what he said. He got in the boy's car and backed it into a fence, and he got out and told me to help him wipe off the fingerprints. I wasn't going to argue with him. I was expecting to be next so I helped him'.
'We wiped out the tire tracks and got into his car and drove off another mile and turned off on another road and he stopped, and he got the girl out of the trunk and put her in the back seat. He told me to get out of the car, and I waited until he told her to get undressed. He took off his clothes and then he screwed her. He asked me if I wanted to do it, and I told him no. He asked me why not, and I told him I just didn't want to. He leaned over, and I didn't see the gun but thought he would shoot me if I didn't, so I pulled my pants and shirt off and got in the back seat and screwed the girl. She didn't struggle or anything, and if she ever said anything I didn't hear her. All the time I was on top of the girl I kept my eye on him. After that he screwed her again'
After Edna Sullivan had been raped several times, the two men drove her a short distance then stopped. McDuff ordered Green out of the car and asked him if he had anything to strangle the girl with. Green offered McDuff his belt, and now Green describes murder most foul: 'He told the girl to get out of the car. He made her sit down on the gravel road, and he took about a three-foot piece of broomstick from his car and forced her head back with it until it was on the ground. He started choking her with the piece of broomstick. He mashed down hard, and she started waving her arms and kicking her legs. He told me to grab her legs and I didn't want to, and he said 'It's gotta be done', and I grabbed her legs, and held them for a second or so, then let them go. He said 'Do it again', and I did, and this time was when she stopped struggling. He had me grab her hands and he grabbed her feet and we heaved her over a fence. We crossed the fence ourselves, then he drug her a short ways and then he choked her some more. We put her in some kind of bushes there.'
Mr. McDuff was sentenced to death for this, but in their infinite wisdom, the Supreme Court ruled the death penalty unconstitutional. He was eventually paroled, and did the following:
Within days of being released in October 1989, McDuff murdered 31-year-old Sarafia Parker,
Here's a partial description of Colleen Reed's murder:
After further questioning, Worley admitted that McDuff had asked to borrow his penknife and a shovel. He also said that McDuff had burned the woman with a cigarette on the vagina, however, Worley insisted that he did not know what happened to Colleen Reed after that, and that he had not seen McDuff since.
The following day, Tim Steglich interviewed Worley for the second time. Under pressure from the intensive interrogation, Worley finally agreed that they had driven along a deserted track, just a mile from McDuff's parent's home at Temple. "I did rape her", Worley finally conceded, "But, Mac broke her neck after he tortured some more with the lighted cigarettes. He snapped her neck, and it sounded like a tree limb breaking, then he threw her, like a sack of potatoes, into the trunk of his car."
After he abducted and murdered a 4' 11" tall convenience store clerk, he was finally arrested and executed.
The pity of anti-death penalty advocates allowed McDuff to kill eight more people.
Oh, btw, his most famous quote is that women squawk just like chickens when you strangle them.
Oh, goody, goody, that's an unexpected bit of extra good news!
All without resorting to calling those she disagreed with "cretins" or making disparaging remarks about "entourages", etc.
Yes, the inmates, as bad as their crimes may be, do not like child killers at all! They do have some compassion for the children!
I have not questioned the integrity of any juror. I merely suggested that at some point some jurors might learn of facts that could cause them to question whether the correct verdict was rendered. It would not be the first time that jurors changed their mind about a guilty verdict after learning of facts and information that wasn't available at the time the jury originally annouced their verdict.
I am confident that if DW is innocent, the evidence proving it will eventually be discovered.
