Exactly my felings. Not that some people don't deserve the death penalty, but our system is too incompetent to make such decisions. It's all about lawyers winning cases and police arresting people. None of them care who is actually arrected and punished as long as it looks like the police and lawyers are doing ther job.
There should be a punishment for incompentent legal work.

If there is a punishment for incompetent legal work, then the lawyers that worked on this case to get these kids off should be heroes and heroines.
Let's face it, unless you're OJ, your public defender is handling a trillion cases and cannot possibly give the time and effort to a murder case that is necessary. Prosecuting attorneys get many times over the money the public defenders do. What do you think is going to happen.
Maybe what ought to happen is that the public money granted to prosecuting attorneys should be the same a public defenders?
Until that happens, you can't blame "public defenders".

With the DNA evidence pointing to the step father and his friend, what are the police doing to really catch those respopnsible for the crime. In many cases look closely at the family and the friends of the family. Apparently the police didn't follow up on the step father's alibi and his friend who supplied it. Sounds like another tyravesty of justice.

Well, the police can't go out and get the real murderers because it causes a conflict, as the ones I've already posted. First, it shows their incompetence, second, they will get sued for wrongful arrest and imprisonment and third it shows how a system that gives prosecutors all the money and public defenders almost none is not a true justice system at all.
You need to understand that it's almost impossible to prosecute these individuals while the first 3 boys are in jail. all their attorneys will talk about is how someone else has already been convicted and this second trial is nothing more than a vendetta. some jury members might believe it. and it turns the whole judicial process into a circus anyway. the original 3 have to be let go and then they can process the true criminals.
We need to push for a law that says PD's get the same resources and money prosecuting attorneys get. Period.

So let me get this right. Three innocent, though outcast, kids were unjustifiabley rendered guilty in order to feed some ones crusade to spred fear agaisnt a certian type of person, life style, and music.
Now come on now. If there was some real consperacy of a satanic cult following attempting to take over society for the perversion of some dark demonic lord of the nether realms, they would more likely fit in, live seemly respectable lives that would put them in positions of influence and power such as preachermen, clergy men, mayors, congressperson, school principles, vice president and so forth. Who can tell who these people are, but I wouldnt want to go hunting with them.

Perhaps the "Satanic" element here was not the act in itself, but the abuse of justice that followed.
When you focus so much on darkness, you draw the darkness into you. And soon you cannot tell dark from light.

Just the point of why there should be NO capital punishment. Bush was right when he said nobody executed in Texas was ever proven innocent.
Problem of course with that statement is once you execute someone the efforts that might prove them innocent are stopped because you cannot reverse the punishment.
With any other punishment at least you can let them out to live the rest of their life. As long as there is the slightest possibility that someone may be wrongfully convicted of a captial crime there should be NO capital crimes.
Unfortunate for many who so strongly belive in the death penalty so many lately have been freed due to DNA evidence, which cannot be changed or tampered with except to be destroyed or replaced by that of another individual.
With so many let free does anyone still believe there was never an innocent individual executed to fill Police or Prosecutors need to obtain convictions and long strong on crime?

The screwed up thing about the case is that killing an innocent goes directly against satanic doctrine, and hurting or killing ANYTHING as part of a ritual is also outright against the satanic doctrine.
All this panic over supposedly "gothic" people, why not worry about someone who is actually a threat to society, in my area the schools are cracking down on gothic kids but the students still drug deals in the bathrooms.
