I’m glad to see someone else has been keeping up with this case and realizes this is one time when celebrities got it right.
Not only was the step-fathers DNA found his best friends DNA was also found - his hairs were found inside the ligatures that were used to tie two of the boys up.
Now, the parents of all three of the boys now believe the WM3 are innocent and are on their side, they are now asking the state to release them and reopen the investigation.
Plus, there is now even more damning evidence against the Step-father. His step-son always carried with him a pocket knife that had belonged to his grandfather. The knife was not recovered at the scene, was not in his room or in the home. The step-father maintained for years that he had no idea where the knife was. It was assume to have been lost during the murders or was taken by the murderer as a souvenir. Years later, the knife was found with the step-fathers possessions. His story now is that he was concerned his step-son would get hurt and took the knife from him.
He also claims that he did not see his step-son on the day of the murders. That is contradicted by two neighbors who saw him not only with his step-son but also with two of the boys who were killed. He was also seen by another person with his step-son. No wonder his ex-wife believes he is the one who actually killed her son.
There is so much more with this case, like the expert who testified about Satanic Ritual Abuse literally had a mail order degree from a non-credentialed university to the juror foreman admitting he told other jurors information that had been provided to him (and not testified to in court) by the prosecutor. He also admits he already believed in the boys guilt even before being called for the jury and admits he did everything to sway other jurors to convict.
This case stinks from one end to the other but there sure is no evidence that the three sitting in prison, one on death row, had anything to do with the murders of those three boys. Sadly, as bad as the state screwed up the guilty will never pay for three horrific murders, at least in this life.
Never had any real evidence against these “satanists”. WHAT A JOKE THIS WAS!! I can’t believe any sane person ever voted to convict these idiot kids.
They’ve been released! Thank God!
Great info. I grew up not far from there so I’ve kept up with it over the years.
There’s also a jury foreman who should go to jail over his conduct. He told the jurors about the Misskelly “confession” when it was not supposed to be introduced. He also admitted that he lied to get on the jury so he could vote to convict. On top of all this, a cop knew about his shannigans and has now come clean.
We see the story all the time here--the most likely person to kill a kid is the adult male who isn't the father but who is now living with the mother. And the amount of evidence that the police "lost," the witness statements that weren't recorded and which the witnesses later said police utterly mischaracterized is just amazing.
