She is married to a man who before the murder, applied for and got s.s. due to disabling psychosis.
Echols lifetime psychosis was exhaustively documented by his own appelate team. (google george woods affidavit, read it -- you may form a better opinion on the worthiness of some of these tabloid shows).
Does she understand what the warm and cuddly puppy she saved from the pound will become? Maybe she thinks of the millions in book and media deals.
At any rate it is only right that her, Depp and all care for and support Echols for the rest of his life.
Even the jury misconduct allegations were recycled versions of claims previously made unsuccessfully to the Arkansas State Supreme Court. Echols was also unsuccessful at having his conviction reversed based on his alleged incompetence to stand trial.

It's also interesting that even though the hearings that would have decided whether the alleged "new evidence" was sufficient to undermine confidence in the original verdicts will not go forward and, therefore, there has been no official exoneration of the three, the media is presenting them to the public as though they've been legally exonerated. The guilty pleas on August 19, 2011, mean that they remain legally guilty of the murders.
These three are innocent, anyone with a brain can see that after going over ALL the FACTS of the case. Not stupid ******** about Damien supposedly killing a dog when he was a teenager and Jessie (who is retarded) supposedly confessing a bunch of times, those are false and untrue rumors. And its proven. But you guys don't choose to see accept that.

I mean actual physical evidence that links any of them to the horrific crime.
Again, I am going to say, WHAT??? I just wish I didn't have to "read your sentences 100 times" just to figure out what you are trying to say. It's so funny you mention that supporters think alike. I have heard the exact same thing out of nons, word for word, too many times to count. All I hear is confession this and Echols that. I have yet to hear or see any solid evidence. Yeah Echols had issues and suffered depression, does that make him a killer? No. Jason was shy and easily swayed, does that make him a killer? No. And we all know Jessie had a very low I.Q. and was violent at times, but does that make him a killer? No.
I will leave you with this. Aaron Hutcheson walks into the police station on an unrelated matter. Before he leaves, he ends up telling them that he witnessed the murders by a "playhouse", in the woods. Ends up taking it back, of course. Along with many other statements that lay heavy on this case, and his mother Vicki. The cops interrogate Jessie, and Jessie mentions this "playhouse" in the woods, where the boys were found, (not to mention all the other wrong details in his statements). That to me proves that it was coercion. You know why, because no such "playhouse" was ever found near the scene. As far as the other confessions, no one can answer why, except Jessie himself. Maybe he thought he could still get the reward money, even if he implicated himself in the crime. Look at the Michael Crowe case. This kid implicated himself and two of his friends. By the time his interrogation was done, his chilling words were, "I just know that I killed her." Through DNA it was proven that it was, Richard Tuite. Either they had this kid thinking he, in fact, murdered his sister. Or he just admitted to it, so he could go home. Either way, it does happen...
