| When I began this website in May, 2003, I said Thompson was thinking about just turning him loose. I said the same thing on the yahoo group: "Now, because of an ignorant and biased small-town judge, he stands every chance of walking free." Almost nobody believed it could happen. I KNEW it could happen, but practically everyone thought I was exaggerating. There is no one that attended last month's atrocity that doubts me now. I think it bears repeating: this is the most heinous crime imaginable. Daniel Moore is linked to the crime by the most overwhelming evidence imaginable, including multiple DNA matches. He's already been convicted on four counts of capital murder--verdicts even Judge Thompson says are consistent with the facts and the law. Even the Decatur Daily--his best friend--says they believe he's guilty! But in spite of all that, he can still walk free. So how will the press handle it if he's turned loose? They'll likely give it one big story. Some of them will even take the angle of "killer free on a technicality." But then they'll drop it like a hot potato. Why? Because they don't like to scare people. And this is a very scary story. People would rather maintain the fantasy that there is a criminal justice system that protects them. And the press will drop it because they, too, have blood on their hands. It wouldn't have been possible without the local press covering for Judge Thompson and the defense team. |
| I have recently posted the defense lawyer's ludicrous opening statements from trial. Today I have posted the prosecutor's opening statement, an overview of the evidence against Daniel Moore. There's a LOT of evidence against Moore--so much that it took over an hour to simply outline it. To see it, CLICK HERE. |
| It's been almost a year since Judge Thompson awarded Moore a second trial Today, I have posted that original ruling. CLICK HERE to read it for yourself. |
| The local press has printed scores of articles, letters, and editorials attacking the ethics of the prosecutors. In contrast, there has not been a word in the press critical of the defense lawyers' sleaze campaign. Today, I've decided to publish my ethics complaint against Halbrooks and Powell. To see what the Bar Association has been investigating for the past five months, CLICK HERE for the Halbrooks complaint. CLICK HERE for the Powell complaint. |
