The robbery that never was....

Holly's report on Misskelley's rule37 - Wedesday, November 19th, 2008

Stidham said that Jessie gave him so little info that it was like not having a client at all and that he would change his story to please Dan. He said that Jessie confessed to an armed robbery at the Flash Market that never occurred and that he and Wilkins had gotten Jessie to confess to it within 15 minutes.

Yep, that's what the man has been saying for 14 years.

The court was told that a lengthy video, the State's exhibit, would be next, and court broke for lunch.

Excellent!

I can hardly wait!

After lunch, Davis put in the DVD of the Wilkins/Misskelley interview.

The excitement is almost too much to bear, isn't it?

Wilkins asked questions regarding Jessie being told that he failed his lie detector test. Jessie then told them that he saw photographs of the murdered children. He said that he had been told that they were cut up, and that the police began asking him the same questions again and again. He said that Ridge drew Xs around a circle with three dots in the middle.

Yeah yeah, we know all that - get on with the robbery!

Wilkins then told Jessie that they knew that he had robbed the Flash Market. Jessie said he never robbed anybody-why would anyone say that?-he never had a gun-he had a 25mm and a 22mm-he never pulled a gun on nobody-he did have a knife-he never had a knife-he never pulled a gun on anyone…

OK?

So let's hear him say he did it already!

Wilkins said that their informant had called Jessie a "little faggot" and asked if that made him mad. Jessie looked despondent. They took a break, and then told Jessie that the police were on the way. There was a long break, and Jessie reappears smoking a cigarette. He said that he got to the "shop," and got out of his dad's truck. The tape cut out and picked up again with a discussion of what happened in the police station on June 3rd.

You mean the part where Misskelley confessed to this robbery is "missing"?

What kind of chicanery is that?

Dr. Derning would later say that he didn't believe the missing segment was due to any chicanery. He pointed out that Wilkins would had to have committed perjury if it hadn't occurred.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!
