There are probably a lot of people who have been convicted of crimes that are innocent. I guess with DNA evidence, which after 20 years is probably impossible, he may be cleared. It will be interesting to watch what happens on this one....

Thanks! I haven't been on in a few months. Clicked on today and the very first article I saw had your name in it which was a nice suprise. I have always enjoyed your sense of humor in your articles. I haven't had the urge to be on much but kicking my ex-boyfriend to the curb recently has given me spare time hehe.

I know what you mean, I'm in the same boat in a sense. See "Waking up alone and other depressing moments" for details....::

I think an interesting movie to watch after reading that story is "Who Murdered Atlanta's Children" starring James Belushi and Gregory Hines.

I've seen it. A GREAT teledoc about the case.

I have strong feelings about this case because it happened in a city that i have ties to (Dad lived in and is buried there) and i was the same age as most of his alledged victims at the time.

I remember that case, and it he was a lot more dubious than the article gives him credit for. I would have sworn that the police actually caught him at the scene where a new body was dumped.

I hope this "go back and rethink" fad doesn't start pumping real sickos out into the world. It seems to be becoming knee-jerk to revisit every pre-DNA case.

It could possibly open a pandoras box that is best left closed.

Actually, they are using DNA older than 20 years to solve old cases, so if there is any, it will either nail or exonerate him.
