14 years has gone by since the trial of the 3 lives that were taken away. 3 little boys  who were found and future ended in a ditch. What would have become of the lives of those boys could only be answered by God. 

 

The 3 convicted killers have since stated that they did not do it. There is new evidence that is found by their attorneys  and the theory of what did happen.  Now I have read the many, many articles on this case because it leads to wonder,  Could they get a new trial.  Previously they stated that Mr. Byers had committed the murder and now another step dad. Now we must keep in mind that our judiciary system is not perfect.   This statement was in a documentary  aired on HBO. Yet, the defense is saying that a single hair from another suspect  found in the lace of one of the boys is the lone killer.  There has been many cases that did not have evidence but circumstances  surrounding it.  This case has bitter old sore wounds.

 

99 percent of convicted killers maintained that they have not committed the crime they are in jail for. One thing for sure the 3 in jail are still alive to fight for their lives, something that the 3 boys did not have. In this case, this is what I think.  I think that Arkansas has the killers and they should be put to death or life in prison. Their attorneys are trying to find a " loop  hole" in setting them free. Will they be productive people  if  they get out of jail?  We have to remember, they were teens tried as adult.  Who is going to trust them?  Tookie Williams was tried on being the founder of the Crips.  He did murder people but there was not " evidence " his conviction still was upheld.  It would be without question if these 3 boys were productive in our society and just got caught up.  But this was not the case, you had a Satan worshiper, another that was his friend, and a weak boy that want  to belong. 2 Did whatever the 1 one told them to do.  This was a pot that was going to kill anyway, it was just a matter of time.

 

Again, what great evidence would convince you to allow these 3 to go free.?

You know, something never quite smelled right with this entire case. Even watching the documentary, there always seemed to be a rush to judgment. My hope is that finally the truth, or as much of the truth will come out about this, so the children can rest in peace finally.

The evidence would have to be undeniable for me to believe that these three should be set free. And by undeniable I mean: a witness, or a confirmed confession by another person or DNA that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that those three were innocent. I believe, at this point and I have for years, that they are guilty and are exactly where they should be. However - IF they are not guilty then I pray that justice should be done. But the evidence would have to be very, very strong. A hair on a child's shoelace that belongs to the stepfather of the child does not point to his guilty conclusively. After all, the child lived in his home and hairs fly around all over the place. It would be unreasonable to think that it didn't come from the home and was already on the lace at the time of death.

I am not so sure as what to say about this new evidence coming into play, Ok, they found a strand of hair in the shoe laces that was used to tie up one of the boys, I would have to hear the whole story again to refresh my memory,Witnesses,evidence, etc..... , this hair could had been easily picked up off the floor while the kid tied up his shoe strings, BUT then again maybe that hair is the key part to this whole trial, and they can prove this. I know they said the step father also had that one kids knife that he carried around all the time, so I will have to watch all of this be played out if a new trail is to come.........

I am not sure about how I feel about this. As we all know, there are many innocent people sitting in jail today. And as Sian and Sonny has said, a hair strand can be picked up anywhere. They would have to build a solid case to convince me otherwise. I don't think the three convicted received a fair trial. They had been tried in the media. I also think there was a rush to judgement in the case.

That may be the case. Okay but prior to claiming the second stepfather, they stated that it was Bryers stepfather who killed the boys over a knife that was found. There was blood on it but it later turned out that the blood was his own. If this was a rust to judgement, where it the evidence to support a different finding than the hair on the shoelace?

All of this is a whole lot about nothing. this is nothing more than another sad attempt by high priced lawyers who want to confuse the public with their smoke and mirrors, this is nothing new with yet another new defense team trying to point the blame at anyone other than the convicted, this only proves what can be done when you have millions of dollars at your expense to change the publics view and gain a few supporters along the way, this is nothing more than a last ditch attempt to free thier client. the media event planned for this thursday will prove nothing new but only what money can buy in hopes to changing the publics mind and draw attention to their efforts. Do not most of the viewing public wonder why only two family members attended the meeting and not all of them? the answer is simple, none of the rest of us bought into this latest attempt. Todd Moore, father of a slain son Michael.

Todd "aka Mikes Father" my prayers are still with you even after all these years. I told my husband last night that it was odd that Pam Hobbs was the only one they ever talked to. Hubby's reply was "The rest probably refuse to be drawn into something like this." I agree, this is a last ditch attempt on behalf of the condemned.

Thanks for stepping forward and addressing what has to be such a painful subject for you. God Bless.

Mr. Todd Moore. First of all, it is an honor for you to reply to my blog and my heart and prayers are with all 3 of the families.

As I stated in my blog, I feel they do have the killers. You stay strong to the justice of your son. When my sister was murdered in 1982 for 10 years we let the Irvin Police know that my sister was a human and a person. With a family and friends it was a repeat reminder. I am praying that they do not get a new trial and that all this may finally come to an end.

Mr. Moore, I will also be praying for you and your family as well as the other families. As a parent who lost a son to tragedy, I understand the pain that comes with re-living such a horrible event. I commend you for the strength that you demonstrate in handling this issue.

May God's will be done and the truth be uncovered or maintained, whichever is right.

2009 is a new start for me and my family. I want you guys to meet Miss Peabody Pebbles. We call her Pebbles for short. Long name for a new family Member ( I remember one of the bloggers saying not to call our new family member a pet.) Our family member came to us from the Memphis Animal Shelter and was on her way to being put to sleep. After calling the Mayor legal Staff, the City Service and the Director of the Shelter, Mr. Alexander allowed us to bond and take her home. Now Pebbles has come with plenty of drama and she gives us no rest.She loves to play and refuse to walk with a leash. That is going to change. My husband claims he hate her but I see him talking to her and playing with her when I am not in the room. All the love I had for Toots is still there and I miss her. As pebbles makes her mark in our home I can say this..... she knows her name.
