A Young Man Dreams He Murdered A Man

[snackbar99]

I can''t begin to imagine why Mr Erickson would confess to a crime he did not commit but it happens all the time. Then I watch the tape of the police FORCE-FEEDING him key details of the investigation to get the testimony they want to hear and I am sickened. They should get up off their lazy ***** and go find the real killers ''cause it sure wasn''t these two. And then the ignorance of the jury to convict Mr Ferguson with no physical evidence made me want to smash my TV over their heads. I know one thing after watching this episode.....I WOULD NEVER TRUST A JURY OF MY PEERS TO DECIDE MY FATE. They all seemed to be lacking common sense.

I cannot believe what has transpired here! To think that evidence can be disregarded in such a manner as it was in this case makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. There was forensic evidence left at the scene of the crime that does not match either of the two boys. The most obvious being the unidentified hair that was found in the victim''s hand. This hair had to have belonged to someone at the scene of the crime. If that is so, then Chuck''s version of the story, that he and Ryan (alone, just the two of them) killed this man, is obviously false. IF the two of them were involved, then why does he not remember the THIRD person who must have been present - the owner of the hair? This is just one of many holes in his story. We need to remember here that this is not a circumstantial case; there was evidence left at the scene that should not be so carelessly discarded.

What a horrible miscarriage of justice! I understand sitting on a jury is difficult, but I am unsure how you are able to overlook the fact that information was "force-fed" to a very confused young man! The police investigation was irresponsible and convoluted. It makes you wonder about our justice system!

I am totally outraged and believe that Prosecutor Crane should be immediately removed from his position. I thought he was the one that I found hard to believe. I felt every word out of his mouth was absolute nonsense. I also feel that the investigators in this case should be suspended/relieved of their duties. They are a complete embarrassment to their badges. They are why most citizens have such little faith in them. It is quite obvious that the kid that claimed to have dreamt about this crime, did not and could not have committed it. HE COULDN''T EVEN REMEMBER ANY, I REPEAT, ANY DETAILS ABOUT THE CRIME. All details were absoluted planted by the interogator. And as for the CRIMINAL janitor, that told police on the phone that he couldn''t tell them any details/descriptions of the perpetrators. Only that they were two males leaving the scene. That he TOTALLY knows who they were in the court room were an outrage. I deeply feel for the Fergusons and PRAY TO GOD, that the true criminals that committed this crime will eventually be found. Until then I pray for their family. Thank you...Cheryl
