I once dreamt I was sound asleep.

/then I woke up and realised it was only a dream.

Officer, last night I had a dream I was eating a GIANT MARSH MELLOW.

I woke up in a pool of blood.

I couldn't sleep last night at all. What's up with that? I mean, there i was just walking around my house at 1:00 in the morning. I guess I could have done the dishes, but no, I just wandered around.

That's it; I'm calling the police right now!

That is messed up.

That is pretty sad if Ryan is innocent.

Eat More Possum: No way I'm going to read a ten page article. Anyone want to post a synopsis in 500 words or less?


Absolutely no evidence collaborates this guys story, they have video police coaching him on what to say, and the jury believes him anyway, despite there being provable gaps in the story (such as the bar actually being closed when he remembers being there).

sounds like he wanted to go to a PMITA prison anyway.

Wasn't that the premise of MLK Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech?

these days?

Once when I was stuck in New Hampshire, I had a dream that I was in Malibu, having good time with Kim Smith.

When I woke up back in New Hampshire, I felt like murdering somebody.

Did he wear black and listen to Metallica?

/free the West Mephis 3

I dreamt my friends were being terrorized by Jason (y'know, the one with the hockey mask) and now I'm being sued for copyright infringement.

10 pages. da-yum.

Honestly, I can't believe this even got prosecuted. Prosecutors have an obligation to dismiss indictments they feel are unfounded... and after seeing this BLATANT police misconduct, how could they not see the 'confession' was tainted? Poor lawyering all around, methinks.

/or just a stupid jury.

I wanted to read an article, not a criminology thesis.

/If you dream something like this, it's best to keep your mouth shut about it.

/Knife and Wife ftw

If you ever even think you killed somebody, here's a hint, don't tell anyone.

God what an idiot.

If I was 6 ft. 3 and got worked over by two drunk 17 year olds, I'd be embarrassed.
There was no forensic evidence to link them. But then again, real life and CSI Las Vegas, CSI Witchita, CSI Cleveland, and CSI St. Louis are not always the same.

? Or maybe for the cops and prosecutors who are apparently more interested in making themselves look good than justice?

He did it. The paperwork says so.

Conservative judge is an idiot.

Oh, wait.. ALL OF THEM ARE. MY BAD.

Or, I sort of hate to say it, but goes out to the jury on this one too I fear...

I wake up in New Hampshire every day. I know exactly how you feel.

Prediction: 5 years from now, Andrea Yates will be walking free, while this kid will be on death row.

/Mourns the future of America...
//Sorry, wrong side of the bed seemed awful dandy to wake up on this morning.

The worst is dreaming that you did laundry or something, and you wake up and all your clothes are still dirty.

I reading here: (Page 1 of 10)

Eh, just execute them both and get it over with.
Better to be safe than sorry!
Now I feel dirty...

That is one strange story.

It goes to show that if you are innocent, trusting law enforcement 100% is stupid. Get yourself a lawyer, then talk to the police. Sometimes those guys just want close the case.

I hate having the dream where it's the last week of school, and you go to your exams, only to realize that you were signed up for a French class all along. But you didn't know, and so you didn't go to any classes. But now you have to take a French exam! Oh yeah, and you also bludgeoned a newspaper editor to death while drunk. That dream sucks.

Most of my dreams involved hookers and blow, until the police arrested my subconscious. I tried to visit it in jail, but my subconscious refuses to speak to me directly.

I love New Hampshire.

/live in Jersey
//that explains it

The quotes from the jury are scary. Definetely a few simpletons in the bunch.

"Neither suspects have anything to worry about." - Andrea Yates

I dreamt that I was farking this really hot stripper, and when I woke up my wallet and toaster oven was gone .

This is a really difficult situation.

The article was obviously biased.

Nevertheless, I think I would have a very difficult time with this, though as a juror I would not be able to justify a guilty verdict.

Wow, that was the same way I lost my viriginity.

Crap... why can I read something like this and for some reason still not be surprised that it played out the way it did.

I can't be the only one annoyed by this.

You know what I mean.

So many news articles these days are written like this.

One sentence followed by a double line-feed.

Drives me nuts.

Can't read that shiat.

I hated those dreams.

Talk about lazy cops not wanting to do the footwork and just pinning the murder on any kook that happens to waltz into the precinct confessing to something that was just a dream. I mean come on, if I was a cop interviewing this guy, I would have referred the kid to a shrink once he started getting all the details wrong and saying he had a dream about it. This is another sad case of the police force & DA rushing to get a conviction even when they know they have the wrong guy.

The kid must have had the worst lawyer ever. I'm sure even Lionel Hutz from The Simpsons could have gotten the kid off scott free with the lack of evidence in this case.

/Lady Justice weeps under her blindfold

I doubt they're innocent. Why would someone make that up and pay the price of jail. Because Chuck was a good kid and wanted to come clean, whereas Ryan is more like you farkers.

This story was profiled on CBS 48 Hour Mysteries last night. And from the beginning of the story I had this feeling he was going to be found guilty. How could this jury be 100% sure these kids did this? No resonable doubt of innocence at all? I couldn't believe it. I feel sorry for the victims family first, but even more sorry for the prosecutors who were blatantly trying to get a conviction at any means necessary because this was a high profile case. How do these lawyers sleep at night?

/48 Hours Mysteries is my fav show. Someone slap me.

Mr Guy:
"Absolutely no evidence collaborates this guys story, they have video police coaching him on what to say, and the jury believes him anyway, despite there being provable gaps in the story (such as the bar actually being closed when he remembers being there)."

Thanks for the summary -- I'm also not in the mood to slog through 10 pages of goo to get to one page of facts. How did they convict the alleged accomplice -- normally the testimony of a co-conspirator is insufficient to produce a conviction alone.

I live in Columbia. This whole case is messed up. I watched it on 48 Hours and I believe his friend might've had something to do with it, but not Ryan. Ryan's just getting creamed for something he didn't do.

Kent Heitholt was a very respected man in our community. The whole situation is very sad.
