Extremely well written, I couldn't put it down until the end. His case was one of the travesties of the "justice" system in Texas. Horrifying one realizes that any of us could be slammed in prison for years while being completely innocent. I hope and pray that he can be exonerated and receive financial damages for time served etc. Read the book!LLRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-29600960004761929462012-03-02T15:55:39.469-06:002012-03-02T15:55:39.469-06:00Kerry, his wife Sandy, and his son, K.J. have been...Kerry, his wife Sandy, and his son, K.J. have been part of the Robert Muller School community for two years. The prosecuting attorneys’ sustained and repeated determination to use treacherous lies, and induce others to do the same, in order to convict an innocent fellow human, even to cause his death through our penal system, is beyond the grasp of the human heart. My concern, as the founding/director of the Robert Muller School, is how children grow up to be such perverted versions of humanity. These conspirators’ behavior exemplifies everything we don’t want our children to become.<br />On the other hand, the account of Kerry’s steadfast courage, determination, resourcefulness, forgiving spirit and ability to stand the ‘eighth time after seven falls’, in the midst of the horrors brought to light in Chasing Justice, is the stuff of heroes. As one who knows the hunger of current generations for Heroes of the Heart, it affords me the greatest joy to see Kerry in the front field of RMS playing with, counseling, encouraging loving, and guiding our children who adore him. I thank God for him, our own living, breathing example of an exemplary human, who is emerging victorious in the battle with the minions of darkness. <br /><br />We love you, Kerry."Vicki Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09604120519387134419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-86431507457406436772012-03-02T13:07:08.568-06:002012-03-02T13:07:08.568-06:00Jack Skeen wasted no time getting his propaganda m...Jack Skeen wasted no time getting his propaganda machine in motion. As a judge he can't talk about the case but he made sure the Tyler paper interviewed David Dobbs. There are several things in the article from Dobbs that are outright lies, but of course the Tyler paper isn't going to question anything he says. The article doesn't even mention that there has already been a DNA test done in the case that pointed towards Mayfield. <br /><br />It's going to be interesting to watch this play out. Skeen will be working the local press to spin everything and try to keep his voters in the dark. Just like the Mineola case the story will seem like a completely different story in the Tyler paper than in other sources outside of Smith County, such as Texas Monthly. It's going to be fun to watch. <br /><br />I'm hoping this is the beginning of the end for Skeen and his Smith County political machine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-59390343529469132662012-03-02T10:47:19.583-06:002012-03-02T10:47:19.583-06:00i'm with you all i'd think a statement lik...i'm with you all i'd think a statement like this <br /><br />"After his third trial and death penalty sentence, the Court of Criminal Appeals overturned his conviction declaring that, "“Prosecutorial and police misconduct has tainted this entire matter from the outset.”<br /><br />Would have been an AUTOMATIC ruling of innocense! with an automatic check with a LOT OF ZERO'Srodsmithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-28254599295923149532012-03-02T10:19:50.131-06:002012-03-02T10:19:50.131-06:00This is, perhaps, the most egregious miscarriage o...This is, perhaps, the most egregious miscarriage of justice I have seen in Texas.

3 cups water
3/4 cup...Off topic but a damn good...<br /><br />3 cups water<br />3/4 cup grits<br />1 1/2 tsp salt<br />1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese<br />1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, coarsely chopped<br />garlic powder (optional)<br />1/4 stick butter<br /> <br />(Note: I only use old-fashioned, slow-cookin' grits. None of that instant glop. I won't let that mess inside my kitchen.)<br /><br />Directions<br /><br />1) Bring the water to a boil, add the salt and stir in the grits.<br /> <br />2) Turn the heat down very low and cook the grits for 20 minutes. Give it a good stir every five minutes or so.<br /> <br />3) After 20 minutes, add the parsley. This will give it additional flavor and a nice hit of color. If you like, you can also stir in a teeny pinch of garlic powder.<br /> <br />4) Cook 5 more minutes and remove from the heat. Immediately stir in the blue cheese and the butter and stir till both the cheese and the butter are all melted. The grits will have a nice creamy consistency.<br /> <br />5) Dig in and pig out. You got yourself some slammin' grits!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
