The Troubled Teen Industry / Michael Perry - Death Row
« on: March 20, 2007, 05:13:46 PM »
Well, at the risk of utterly wasting my breath, I want to address some of the things Buzzkill posted.
1. News Channel ABC 13 has video taken after the car accident that shows Michael substantially injury free. Yet, 53 minutes later, photos taken at the hospital depict him with serious bruising around his neck. Furthermore, the nurse at the jail refused to book Michael due to a severe head injury that she noted in her report as resulting from "police interaction." Yes, Michael was in the car when JASON drove it through a window. It was 5:00am in the morning and he was asleep. But the evidence shows that hs injuries occurred AFTER the accident. [Note--it took the ambulance 53 minutes to go 13 miles . . . I wonder why]
2. Yes, Michael was arrested driving the stolen car. But the last time I checked, driving a stolen car does not make a person a murderer. JASON gave him the car. And there was an ID belonging to the victim's son IN THE CAR, but it was not on Michael's person.
3. As far as the "confession" goes, perhaps the reason the confession is so detailed is because the police ADMITTED on the stand that Michael didn't write it--the INVESTIGATOR wrote it, Michael just signed his name. The same investigator who knew all the details himself because he had been at the crime scene just days earlier. So, maybe that explains why the "confession" has details in it that only someone who had been at the scene could know--because someone who had been at the scene wrote it--the COP.
Michael is not a psychopath or a sociopath (and the current correct DSM-IV term is "anti-social"). He is neither clinically anti-social, nor is he a psychopath in the lay sense of the term. He does not deserve to be murdered by the state and he would be an asset to society should he win his appeal. And before anyone decides to advise me that I am naive, I just want it to be crystal clear that not only have I read EVERY SINGLE document pertaining to his case (and that of his co-defendant), but I also know Michael personally.
I would suggest anyone who wants to make blanket statements about the "facts" go get a copy of the trial transcript and read it. It is public record.
