- Let's get real here, there is and never has been any evidence, dna, physical or other to implicate these young men in this horrific crime. The only thing they had was a poor confession by someone with the mentality of a child and heresay. When was it okay to convict without a fair trial and real evidence? The saddest thing about this is those three boys who had their lives taken far too soon and in the most brutal and violent way. I pray for the three now grown men in prison and for the souls of those young boys but most of I pray they find the real monster behind this evil act.

- I'm not so sure about them being innoscent and not just because of the way they dressed. I dressed like that too. But it was their attitude especially Damien. He didnt seem phased by it at all. If I had been accussed of killing someone I would have been petrified. I would have been shaking and crying. He was cocky and arrogant and even joked about it. Who would make a joke about three little baby boys being tortured and murdered. The only thing that would make me think that maybe it was someone else was that the mother of one of the boys thinks that its possible that the stepfather did it and she would know more about his character than anyone else. I would never have been able to live with anyone that I thought would be capable of hurting my kids. I dont understand that at all. But I still wouldnt be ready to call them innoscent and free them until there was solid evidence proving otherwise. I blame the police for not collecting enough evidence.
