I had stated that they were wrong. They ignored evidence. I think those that went after him, should have to answer for the actions they took. ~T
Schmuck knows he’ll never make it for re election in November! But now he’ll have every criminal up for trial and in prison at his doorstep to defend him for a retrial. Much more money in defending criminals then being a States attorney and defending the public you serve and the community you live in.
Didn’t Clay lose to Schmack in the election after he won this trial? Plus he lost in the primary last month. I don’t know if Jack is guilty or not but if he is found innocent, he is going to sue the city of Sycamore.
His own family says they have the right man
His family said that his parents lied about the collect phone call too. Who’s to say the mother didn’t lie to his half sister. Like I said I don’t know if he’s guilty or not and if found not guilty then us tax payers of Sycamore will have to pay up.
I am going to ask a question. Why did he change his name?
Kudos to Schmack! This wouldn’t be the first time sycamore ruined an innocent man’s life.
Referring to?
Inquiring minds want to know…

I read about this today. The actual perpetrator just may be dead.
And probably on his way back to Washington.
