I used to live in Marion Arkansas. That's where Dameon lived. Very small city. He and my daughter used to walk from the bus stop together. I had always told my daughter that if the kids at school were dirty, clothes weren't ironed, didn't wear nice clothes, no matter what others said about them to be nice to them. I told her if they were different there was a reason, because so far as children they are not at fault--the parents are.
After they found Dameon guilty along with Jessie and the other, she was in the bathtub and said 'mom, you know how you always told me to be nice to people in school even if they were different?' I said yes. She wass crying and said, 'mom, I've been nice to him all this time'. What if they killed those 3 little boys. I just said just because they were arrested and convicted doesn't mean they did it.
One of the boys sat in class behind her and was super nice and very quiet and could draw anything and made good grades. Damien was different, about genius level. He was just different.

I can't even imagine being acquainted with a person would could commit such crimes, but it shows that they come from somewhere and you just never know what the mastering minds can commit.
I also believe that repeat murderers have to be intelligent to be able to do so many crimes, it takes a creative mind to master something like this.

That must be pretty frightening to know someone who may have done such terrible things. I am not familiar with the murders. I do hope in my heart they are innocent. Just babies.
How old are they?

The 3 boys accused were all in high school. The 3 little boys murdered were all 6 years old. They had terrible sadistic things done to them. They played together always in this wooded area next to the houses and that's where they were murdered. They were all bound and one of 'ems privates were in his mouth.
It was quite a horrible thing. You may run across it on 20/20 or ID or some channel like that. There going to have another hearing. They were locked up 17 years ago as teenagers, and now they find there was dna evidence and other evidence withheld.
I've always felt that they were innocent and they picked on Dameon because he was so different. Wore all black and wore his long hair down and covered one side of his face.
He just looked odd cause he belonged in California or some place like that and he wouldn't have been odd looking but this was a small city he was from.
They feel they have strong, very strong evidence that the 3 are innocent. They're looking at one of the fathers now.
