BULLETIN BOARD WEEK 8
      
      
The Decatur Daily has another Tipton headline today.  They've added a new phrase to 
the lexicon--Tipton Probe.  Their headline is only news to them, and to those they have 
misled in their coverage.  No, of course the police didn't withhold the fact the FBI 
were "involved."  It was in this very newspaper over four years ago...
Furthermore, as I've stated repeatedly on this website, the FBI didn't even send the 
"report" to the police--they sent it to a filing cabinet in Birmingham.
Maybe they can do another headline correcting the Daily's and the defense lawyers' lies 
about what Valeska said, too.  He also never denied the FBI was involved, as they are 
saying (it was common knowledge)--he just said they did not do an investigation (which 
is verified by the FBI "report" itself, but nobody's quoted that part yet--one of the first 
things said on the first page).  He denied there was a "profile of the killer," too, and 
rightfully so.  You'll note they never have quotation marks around anything Valeska 
said, although his exact words are readily available and are a matter of public record.  
Instead, they have Halbrooks' and Marsh's twisted summary of what he said--presented 
as fact. And yet it is presented in headline form, clumsily implying the FBI has somehow 
verified evidence was withheld.  Of all parties involved in this little sideshow, it's the FBI 
that has some explaining to do.  Something, incidentally, they were unwilling to do in 
trial.
And the Daily could spend years correcting the lies and misconceptions spread just by 
their last headline story.  They don't check anything.  They don't question anything 
Halbrooks tells them.  They even "correct" an editorial that correctly describes the DNA 
match, in order to add her lie.  They quote her as the authority on what was said in 
court by Bonnie Kidd; the Daily trusts Halbrooks more than they do the witness, the 
trial transcript, and what their alleged reporter heard in open court.  Catherine Halbrooks 
is the one and only source for the Daily's "probes." And she lies so much, no 
reasonable person would believe anything she said about anything.
The last thing the Decatur Daily wants to do is actually inform anyone.  Rather, they are 
purposely misleading the public as part of a campaign of self-promotion and favors to 
the good-old-boys.  Its goal is to make more money, circumvent justice, and free a 
killer.  And it is scum like this that claim moral authority over Karen and her survivors.
Daniel Wade Moore was the recipient of a trial profoundly biased in his favor--including 
multiple violations of the Rules of Criminal Proceedings and the Code of Ethics of the 
Alabama Bar Association--committed or allowed by Judge Glenn Thompson on his 
behalf.  In spite of this, he was found guilty of four counts of capital murder.  Then the 
judge overruled the inevitable consequence of his own two years of rulings, giving the  
killer another hundred chances to walk free, and giving his friends, the defense lawyers, 
another hundred chances to attack the victims further.
When the CCA asked for an explanation from Thompson (WHAT and HOW, with facts 
and the law), his answer was, in so many words:  "I can't say how it kept him from 
getting a fair trial, but it was so bad I should have just let him go."
And when the defense lawyers are asked the same thing, (WHAT and HOW, with facts 
and the law), their response is to repeatedly misrepresent material fact, make more 
outrageous (indefensible) accusations, and conclude the judge should just let him go.
My take on it is that the defense lawyers really needed a slam dunk from Thompson, 
and the best he could do was dribble a little.  Let him go? He should be on death row 
now.
