Right the Wrongs

While The Chaparral Murders casts a huge cloud of doubt on the guilt of Rusty Phillips for Timmy Roberts' murder, it also presents strong evidence that Wayne Scott Alexander and Margaret Shahan were innocent of complicity in the case. These young people were casualties of the prosecution's flawed case against Phillips. Phillips couldn't have carried out this atrocity alone so kids he was associated with at the time were interrogated and theories of their complicity formulated to fill in the gaps.

More young lives ruined. Collateral damage. Along with their lives, the lives of their family, children etc. have been forever affected.

It's not too late to fix this error in judgement. Is saving face in this life so important that one is willing to risk one's soul?

The world has changed. People have learned to admire those who admit error. After all, to err is human. Admitting that an error might have been committed is a sign of compassion. The world welcomes compassion.
To deny it, at the cost of another, is far worse than the original error.

Comments and Opinions Wanted

Some who have information and opinions about this case have contacted me and/or written to this blog. I appreciate that.

I am anxious to hear from everyone who has something to say about the events of this case or the book itself. Do you disagree with any of the content? Do you have an experience to share? Do you have something to add? This case is far from closed. There is still at least one unsolved murder. Why are some people still afraid to speak out after 26 years? I want to know.

You can email me directly at margaret@nativefusion.com or enter your comments into this blog.

Thank you.
