Judge David Burnett turned in his ruling Wednesday morning at the Craighead County Courthouse.
Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelly are both serving life sentences for the 1993 killing of three West Memphis boys. The two men claimed they received inadequate counsel during their trial previous trial and requested a new trial.

The men and their attorneys claimed new DNA evidence not available in 1993 helped prove their innocence.

The Court concludes that counsel was hardly deficient for not pursuing a sideshow about post-mortem animal predation, any more than the counsel of his co-defendant Echols was as to human bite marks.

Two comments:

1.  Sideshow.  LMAO!
2.  Do supporters honestly believe that there's a judge in this country who would take the turtles seriously?  It just boggles the mind.

Mary - go research the issue.  At least Google it a bit - animal predation and turtles post mortum ... check it out a bit..... yeah, you might say "a judge" (LOL) has taken it seriously; just a judge with what Burnett lacks - integrity, lack of pride and a positive IQ.  What's ridiculous is if any supporters thought this backwards country stupid redneck 1/2 politician / 1/2 "play judge" ... He was actually going to do his job??  ROFLMAO!!  That's where the humor is.

But, on animal predation, including but not limited to turtles, raccoons, dogs, and other carnivores in the area ... and what they do to bodies... - Google it a bit -- look around.  See for yourself.   .....  or don't -- if seeing wounds that will look VERY VERY familiar to anyone whose seen th4e autopsy photos of the boys ....  might be better not to look; keep your head in your..., oh I mean keep your head in the sand.

I've seen your CV, and I've seen Burnetts.

YOU are where the humor is.

oh I mean keep your head in the sand.

Apparently this won't prevent turtles and scuba diving dogs from biting your face?

[Kimbo]

"Google it"?

Dave you are seriously riding the short bus.

Tell me what animals went where... you got a whole list there cowboy.

Maybe that's why Burnett saw it as ridiculous as anyone would with a working brain....

Oh OK - you're excused.

Off topic here again:

I have a very strong feeling that someday you are going to slap the shit out of yourself and say "Damn Dave, I wish I hadn't ran my ignorant mouth like I did" 

Just sayin'.....................

It's post-mortem, Dave, but I'm sure you know that.  You're a lawyer, so it must have been a Jack Daniels typo.

yeah, you might say "a judge" (LOL) has taken it seriously

Actually, I said that NO judge in this country would take the turtle predation seriously.  They haven't, and they won't.  It's absurd, and not just legally.  It's common-sense absurd.

But, on animal predation, including but not limited to turtles, raccoons, dogs, and other carnivores in the area

Yeah, we know.  Spitz has those wild dogs flinging the boys against hard places after they're dead.  Just playin' around with dead bodies for sport.  A little canine competition.

Go to bed, Dave.  It will all be ok in the morning, except for one thing:  you'll still be in New Jersey

Farm, you pointed out that Spitz based his "all injuries were post-mortem" conclusion on photos cherry-picked by the defense.

There's a case (Rebecca Riley) right now on CourtTV where the defense pulled the same stunt.  The medical examiner they hired was given very limited information - basically just tissue slides - and he based the cause of death, pneumonia, on that and nothing more.  He apparently wasn't interested in the fact that the parents were giving the little girl massive doses of Clonodine, so they could get Social Security disability. 

On cross, the prosecutor ripped him a new one.  He was evasive, wouldn't make eye contact, was all over the place.  It was something to see.

[Farm]

On the beacon a while back, Dully or someone posted "7 pathologists have looked at this case, and only one of them denies it was animal predation... what does that tell you about that one?"

I replied "That he actually examined the bodies?"

Of course I was banned, and deleted again.

More from Dr. Wornout Spitz.  In August 2009, at Jason & Jessie's Rule 37 hearing, Spitz testified that the injuries to the ears couldn't be from forced oral sex, because the injuries would have been on both ears, not just one.

This is another example of the defense cherry-picking which photos to show him, because all three boys had injuries to both ears.   

Regarding Michael Moore:  Commonly when we see the ears contused on both sides or bruised with underlying fine linear scratches...

Ears.  Not ear.

Regarding Stevie Branch:  The right ear showed multiple confluent contusions and abrasions.  The entire left ear was contused with overlying linear scratches.

Q.  Were the injuries to the ears of Stevie Branch of the same nature and type as the kind you described in regard to Michael Moore?

A.  Yes, they were.

Regarding Chris Byers:  Here we see the side of the face with scratching and bruising of the ears.

Ears.  Not ear.

Couple the above with Spitz's conclusion that this was not a homicide, and that the boys head wounds resulted from a large dog bashing them against hard things, and what do you have left?

Damned if I know.

You have the same senile old fart who made a complete ass of himself in the Spector trial.
