America would be a helluva better place if all dirtbags like this loser had their nuts cut off.
If Bill Clinton is somehow indirectly responsible for this castration, then I can finally say, good on yah Bill..

Well now that Duncan has moved up to the 3% range, maybe the press will start looking into all that has occured in his background.

I (unfortunately) grew up in Forrest City, Arkansas and my father was a member of the jury that convicted DuMond. When it was later suggested that DuMond could have been wrongly convicted, I asked my dad about it. He said that all the evidence given to them proved beyond a doubt that DuMond was guilty. I personally believe that if DuMond had never been castrated, this case would have never received the amount of publicity that it has.

Ramos and Compeon’s jurors have said that they would’ve found a different result if the prosecutor hadn’t suppressed details about their criminal “star witness”.

"Bill Clinton is the only person in Arkansas without any balls." Apparently not the only one, according to this story. Sheesh, this is like Deliverance and Buford Pusser all wrapped up in a white sheet with fried okra.

Wayne DuMond got drunk and castrated himself. It was a desperate ploy to avoid going to prison.

The subtext of the article is pretty clearly that Dumon didn’t do it, or that at the very least he was unfairly convicted and that his parole was justified.
If Huckabee wins the nomination, the author, Ward Harkavy, will probably be writing articles about how Huckabee should have known that Dumond was guilty and would do it again.
BTW, I have never seen any discussion of whether DNA analysis could be done today to determine whether Dumond was guilty of the original rape.
Also no discussion of the physical challenges overcome by a castrated man to commit this most recent rape-murder. Perhaps due to the high “eeeewww” factor.
To: bshomoic
That was a well done article by the Village Voice- the tone of the article is exactly what Arkansas Conservatives said about Wayne DuMond (at the time in the 90’s) - It was a sordid case all around. Gov. Huckabee encouraged the release of DuMond because of the points made in this article. He made a big mistake, but the case is much more complex than the MSM or Arkansas Democrats like Max Brantley portray. Thanks for posting.

Just a personal thing. I still have some fond memories from my childhood ('67 - '78 or so), but after I started high school I began to see things change in the city. Conlee's corruption, drugs, etc., etc. It just began to bring me down.
Forrest City is not the same place to me anymore, that's all.
