clothing hiding the clothing, along with the three victims, using that kind of concerted effort, we re not looking at teenagers committing crimes like this. we re looking at somebody who is relatively criminally sophisticated. we re looking at somebody who has been violent in the past, who is violent now. and at the time this crime was purposed, it would also be violent in the future. the person responsible for this crime can look you right in the eye, can look at a camera and say i didn t do i, because of a psychopathic personality there is no remorse. anyone who perpetrates a crime like this is only concerned about himself. you can put him on a polygraph. he ll pass the polygraph, particularly if it s 14 years later. when john douglas told me that terry hobbs and background made me look like a boy scout, i almost fell out. and he was dead serious. here is a world renowned 30-year probably the finest profiler in fbi history. i was nervous just being around
nothing about what they re saying is true. it the only thing really that has ever bothered me is knowing they have taken my name and said what they said about me. i learned a lot by depositions, you know. stay out of that. the next question, i m asking with all due respect to you and the police department, and i m not being facetious at all, but it appears the west memphis police department and the prosecutors have never looked at terry hobbs, one of the stepfathers of one of the victims seriously as being a person of interest or even a possible suspect in this case. and i know you ve been gone for a long time. do you have any understanding of why that is or any explanation of why that would be?
it is your testimony that you are not a violent man? correct. and you do not fly into rages? correct. pom hobbs says last weekend her husband terry beat her up at their home in memphis. when pam s father and brother heard she had been beaten, they went to check on her. started telling me it wasn t none of my business. and naturally i just got more upset and started hitting. and i took him to the ground. and the next thing i know, he shot me. terry hobbs faces assault charges. he is now in a memphis jail. you did backhand pam hobbs the night that you ended up shooting her brother, correct? okay. circumstances that correct? all right. circumstances that funny? well, you get tired of talking about it after a while. she had been provoking me for three days over one simple woman. she was asking for it?
stepfather was found on shoelaces at the crime scene. over the last three weeks or four weeks, a group of people from here in arkansas have formed a campaign called arkansas take action. we re on our way to the state capitol for a rally. there has been such an outpouring of support for a decade, supporting the west memphis 3. but arkansas has been relatively quiet. we hope that with our grassroots movement, arkansas take action, that arkansans from across the state will speak out, asking our elected officials to take a look at this new evidence and to get these guys out of prison. none of the dna from any of the crime scene evidence could be associated with mr. echols or mr. baldwin or mr. misskelley. terry hobbs could be the source of that hair on the ligature.
and i urge you all to go to wm3.org and donate to the defense fund, the donations is what has paid for the forensic tests and the dna testing that is going to set these men free. i just want to say i m honored to be here. lorri is a wonderful, wonderful person, and she is what has kept us going for 14 years and made people not forget about the west memphis three. so thank you very much. [ applause ] kelly s court is back in session. on the docket today, meet terry hobbs. this man sued the dixie chicks for defamation. why? natalie maines has been very vocal about this case, saying that new dna testing would prove hobbs was involved in his own step-son s death. raise your right hand. do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but
