2005 |
Caroline, Catherine, and I have moved to North Carolina. I have the best job I've ever had, and the girls are very happy in their new schools. |
The Decatur Daily prints its sixty-first Tipton story. Click HERE. It gives us the killer's point of view, quotes his attorney, reassures us everything is normal... and (of course) leaves out the DNA. |
Channel 19 also covered the one-year anniversary of the last hearing. They showed video of the Chapel Hill house and of the children with Karen. |
It makes me very happy that the Decatur press (good and bad) can't hurt my children anymore. |
Thanks for reading the website. Every new reader is a victory for me, for Karen, and for the girls. A special thanks to all my new friends visiting here for the first time. This website has been a big part of my recovery from four years of catastrophic stress... And it gives me special pleasure that over a thousand people have looked at Karen's photo tribute. |
Today, February 4, 2005, Judge Glenn Thompson freed Daniel Wade Moore. The guiltiest man in America of the most heinous crime imaginable is walking free tonight in Decatur. Judge Thompson, after thirteen months, made his ruling late on Friday afternoon, and then disappeared. He had been notified in writing of the State's intent to "appeal" his order, which would automatically stay (stop) DWM's immediate release. But Judge Thompson waited for Friday afternoon, didn't notify the State (as promised in the hearing), and turned a killer loose. He doesn't care if the man that tortured and murdered my wife walks free. It is inconsequential. What matters is local good-old-boy politics and a legal system gone haywire. An emergency appeal has already been made to the Court of Criminal Appeals, but it's unlikely anyone will look at it until Monday morning. |
If you've paid any attention to my website, you will understand I'm hardly surprised. I've been saying it here since 2003--that Thompson planned to turn this scum loose, and all that we were waiting on was his best attempt to do the lawyering necessary to reach that end. Regardless of the law, and regardless of the facts. Few people believed me... Now it has come to pass. |
Thompson's attempt at the lawyering took him 13 months to write. It's 17 pages. Now it's up to the Court of Criminal Appeals to grade his paper. And if he makes a D minus, he passes. I note it's an open-book test, with no time limit, and you can get someone else to write it if you wish. It's not required that you believe in DNA. |
