I watched the interview on CNN Piers Morgan. It was unbelievable and I can't say I am not worried about Damion's well being. He got the worst of it, although even Jessie could not have faired all that well. Who killed the children? The loyalty Jason had for Damion’s outcome exceeded any idea there was a primary person among the three responsible for the children’s deaths.
I can’t help but believe the actual killer already had Damion, Jason and Jessie lined up as suspects before the murderers occurred. I hope no one believed there had to be such heinous murders in order to stop ‘demons’ from living in the community. It is bizarre. What the heck goes on in West Memphis, Tennessee? The law there isn’t interested in finding the actual killer, regardless of the plea deal? They probably made the deal so the city and county could not be sued. But, what about justice? Finding the actual murderer would open up the city and county and state’s liability, but, justice isn’t important? Really? Tennessee? This is what turns opinion against a government. I hope the US Justice Department reviews all this and asks plenty of questions.
And the prison conditions are a chamber of horrors.
