So I watched West of Memphis last night. Ugh I know Damien was involved in the making of this one so I had that firmly in my mind while watching it...i have to say though it still swayed me a bit, out of all the PLs and devils Knot, this one really made me think they didn't do it. Also Eddie Vedder was in this one so that was a bonus

Ammi & CeeCee if you haven't watched that one yet, do it.

They put forward the argument that alot of the injuries to the boys may have happened after they died and were in the water, including the emasculation of Chris Byers (I really hope that they're right too, poor child ) They showed examples of what Turtle bites and clawing looked like and they were almost identical to the marks on the boys and apparently that area was full of turtles

I was finally a bit swayed on the possibility of it being Terry as well although Pam still seems like a really unreliable source to me

I felt so sorry for her and Terrys daughter, I feel like she may have suffered the most because of the murders

A couple of things that weren't clear to me though, was it only Jesse's statement that made people think the boys had been raped or was there evidence of this? (I'm really hoping that didn't happen to them either)

And also, the whole blue candle wax on one of the boys clothes, that doesn't seem to ever be mentioned much but it's always one thing I keep coming back to

....hmmmm chores and ironing or West of Memphis today, I'll have to give it some thought....I'll report back my findings on West of Memphis later...x....


....with Chris Morgan and Brian Holland..?..I can't recall which site because like you two ladies, I've read quite a bit now.....but there is a huge court transcript conversation discussing Chris Morgan as a witness for the defence/which led me to wiki who he was...and he was an ice-cream van guy, who knew the boys and was often the area...the defence of him being allowed to testify is that he did actually (apparently) say that he may have killed them but wasn't sure because of his drug use and suffering blackouts and memory losses...so they polygraphed and the findings were that they felt he wasn't being truthful when asked direct questions about the killings...he and Brian Holland..(who I haven't had the chance to specifically google yet..)...both left 4 days after the murders to live in California...what a random thing to more or less, confess that he might have something to do with killing them though.../these townsfolk are so odd....


...one thing with this case for me though is that it's such a great example of the death penalty just never being a thing ever...it's so long to be carried out anyway to allow for possible new evidence to come to light... so then would seem pointless because rehabilitation in that time is so possible also...it's an easy kneejerk with heinous crimes such as this, I understand that...but it's just always wrong for me....
