You’re welcome.
I mean, even disposing of the body....every different one tells a different story. I think this was a spur-of-the-moment crime and various and sundry assholes joined in if the opportunity arose. Which is why the original ones who confessed didn’t at first implicate the others....because there was no benefit in it to name other accomplices and hey, I’m betting none of those guys knew who was there and who wasn’t.
Now you take a chaotic scene like that and later, as was done with the NY Times and the original confessors, you, boom, take what is now known about the crime, such as no DNA found on the victim, an odd thing I admit. But point being NOW these confessors know what the police have and all the time in the world to sit and change their story to match the facts that they didn’t know then.
The big sticking point for me is that they all confessed. Why on earth would anyone confess to a crime like this? Because they’re not very intelligent thugs and because they did it.
There was DNA found on the victim, it just didn’t match any of the alleged perpetrators. Plus the tight grouping of the stab wounds indicates one killer. And the absolutely clean tidy apartment with no prints.
This was not the scene of a group rape and killing.
The friend who was out with her the night before knows more than she is telling. The victim came into contact with her killer the night of her murder (duh!) but Tamika Taylor was with her until 11:30 that night, so where did they go and whom did they meet up with?
These other guys were Nifonged.
IIRC, Virginia still has capitol(sp?) punishment. They confessed to avoid it. DNA comfirmed the real killer, and should have exonerated the rest. The were intimidated by that POS cop, who should be prosecuted. It could be a coincidence that they were all dimwits, but they all gave different stories.
