Prosecutor Keith Chrestman has filed a motion in Crittenden County Circuit Court asking a judge to not allow advanced DNA testing to move forward in the infamous West Memphis Three case. Among the arguments made in the filing is that the advanced, M-Vac DNA testing method would permanently alter the evidence and even if other DNA was discovered it wouldn’t conclusively prove who did it.
he asks if she can get him away for lunch. yes. she says she can. she says she can. and he replies, okay. i will let you know time. in my review of some of the text messages is that marc really wasn t interested in going to eat lunch that day but she begged him to take her to lunch. after lunch, remember, she asked marc to linger for an ice cream treat. all the while texting her dad, said the prosecutor, tipping him off to marc s whereabouts. as carl placed a killer in their home. it just kind of sent chills up my back. what kind of person have you got to be to let your husband walk away from you knowing what he s going to walk into when he gets home? zblarmd with their new evidence, police arrested michelle. she was charged with capital murder, for planning and orchestrating the crime. she denied it, said she could explain everything, and agreed
her mother, kathy, defended her around town. did you ever let yourself think she was involved? the daughter i know, the daughter i helped raise, no. meanwhile, michelle s attorneys, ray nichol and bill stanley, took a closer look at those recovered text messages. they filed a motion arguing that investigators didn t obtain them properly. ? they didn t get a new search warrant every time they searched the phone. we re talking about i think 15 searches of michelle and carl s phones. mm-hmm. and they didn t have 15 search warrants. their arguments about improper search warrants may have had some traction. with the trial looming the prosecutor was worried. we re at the high stakes poker game where it s all or nothing when that judge rules the next day on whether to admit the evidence or not to admit it. the prosecutor agreed to start talking about a plea deal.
