      True Crime will always be. It's a Normee Phenomenon that's been around before I was born, been around while I was growing up and still happening now after 10 Years Later after I Graduated Highschool. And True Crime will still happen God be Willing when I become a old person. There'll never be a end to this Normee Phenomenon. It's just is what it is in this Normee 3D World. Five years from now, we'll be hearing more True Crime Cases and Gun Violence Mass Shootings.

      That is sad. 😢 You shouldn't feel that way. All of these crimes, except Nancy Kerrigan's were absolutely tragedies that changed the country. I hope you find it in your heart to still find positivity.
      I personally can understand. I'm old enough to be your Mom. I had two kids of my own in college at the time. I always was on edge. Even my 5 younger ones made me worry constantly. I was glad when they all finished school. We even home scooled our last one at home, he's 29, Autistic and will be scooled at home for any college he does. I had forgotten how tragic the 1990's were until I saw this video. It certainly hasn't gotten better! There's a school shooting about once a week if not more. I believe in the second amendment, but we must get school shootings under control. Our kids deserve our best effort, even if it means extremely tough gun laws. I want a ban on all assault weapons! If you don't willing to give back your weapon than you spend time in jail and we confiscate your weapon anyway
      The government should buy back these weapons of mass destruction. That way people won't be at a financial loss. Anything to take them off the street or in homes.

I'm from a small town with a population of a little more than 30, 000 and over the last few years it's become very violent. It's like a shooting every other day. Still I have hope in Jesus and pray and hope that in all this sadness, that there will still be joy.

      This case scared me to death. I had two college students going to college. It terrified me as a parent. I also had 5 younger kids. A few of them decided college wasn't worth it. They've now gotten their degrees as adults. 😊
      Mathew was a kind, quiet guy. These disgusting cowards killed him because he was gay, even though they now say it's not true. Their lying. manipulative, disgusting. foul minds should be on death row. Execution is all they are worth.
      RIP Mathew. You are greatly missed by all who loved you and by most of the country. We still morn your loss. There really know words to explain the deep grief that the country felt when your life was so viciously taken. Our ❤❤❤ for you is eternal!

This project inspired me to learn more about his life and this tragic case.

    I met Jason Baldwin a few years ago. You would think that after spending 18 years in prison for a crime they never committed that he would come out angry and violent. But he is the exact opposite. He is kind, gracious, and as friendly as can be. He's just an extremely sweet man. One of the best I have ever met.

      Why are you so sure he is innocent? I'm personally glad he's out as it is not 100% sure that he is guilty, but the type of laces that should have been on his boots were used to tie one of the kids. And his boots did not have the original laces when confiscated. He also failed the polygraph test. We also know that Jessie Misskelley on May6.(the day after the murders) Showed up at a friend's (buddy Lucas) home and insisted that he should be the new owner of his muddy Adidas tennis shoes, which is a really strange thing to insist on, and one hell of a timing. Then add that Deanna Holcomb(Damiens Ex) already in 1992(before the murders) started to alert people that Damien had voiced a plan to kill kids. Something she later confirmed in talks with the police. Most likely they were guilty of course, but I don't think they should get life in prison when it can not be proven.

      @@marklinder1798 Most likely they were guilty sir, and anyone bothering to go through the totality of evidence instead of just watching a very bad documentary series knows that. I'm glad they are out though, as its still not 100% sure that they did it. Let's go through a very small amount of stuff that was not mentioned in any documentaries/articles:
      -On May 6, 1993( the day after the murders) Jessie Misskelley out of the blue insisted that his friend(Buddy Lucas) should be the new owner of his muddy Adidas tennis shoes. That is a very strange thing to insist, and one hell of a timing.
      -One of the laces used to tie the boys belonged to an adult-size boot. It is the same type of laces that should have been on Jason Baldwin's boots. Jason's boots did not have the original laces on them when confiscated.
      -Deanna Holcomb(Damien's ex-GF) Already in 1992(before the murders) alerted people that Damien had a plan to kill kids. She confirmed this in an interview with the police on May 11, 1993. It can be found on the Callahan site.

    • @Jennifer-jt9cb

      ​@@ujmm They recanted those statements, and admitted they were coerced into making them. The laces part, was never reported, nor was the idea that Jessee Miskelley tried to hide his boots. Damien? You're pulling that one out of your ass. Also you're choosing to omit the fact that the night of the murders a black man covered in mud and blood went into the women's room at Bojangles and was in there for a long time. Over an hour. Once he left, when staff went in there, there were paper towels everywhere and the walls were covered with the blood and mud he had come in covered with. The "evidence" used at trial was circumstantial at best. Also witnesses that could prove beyond any kind of doubt that the 3 were innocent were suppressed and forbidden from testifying. Jason's lawyer told him to put his head down and keep it down the entire trial. The idiot claiming that Damien took one of the boys testicles and played with them in his mouth is a known liar, and has done time himself, which included charges for things like perjury, and false reports. The town was screaming for blood, so they picked the first three that stood out a bit. They wore black clothing and listened to Metallica. That was enough for a conviction. Also, Jason and Damien had *NEVER EVER MET JESSEE.* And I bet you didn't know that one of the boys absolutely loves Jason like her own now did you?

They confirmed this detail in the CNN 90's docuseries, so maybe you can correct this chronoligical error for future reference. Other than that, I always enjoy consuming this content. For me personally, I read and learned about most of these scandals immediately overtime as a 90's kid. Fun Fact: The Waco Siege, Oklahoma City Bombing, & Columbine Mass Shooting each occured between April 19th & 20th, as some of the perpetrators witnessed the previous disaster, and in turned pre-meditated the next one, which I always found equally fascinating and unsettling.

There was even this guy who is in Prison now a known pedo who says he did it and his friend called the Boulder Police 2 days after the murder to report that a friend of his had confessed to the murder of Jonbenet I do not know if he was the one but it got ignored they were so hell bent on framing the family even the 8 year old brother that girl was not beaten with no toy or hairbrush her little skull was split in 2 like a coconut and that is not even what killed her she was garotted as for it being being the mother's paint brush that happens more often than people think killers use weapons they find in the home his intent may not originally have been to kill her but he had to get rid of her as a witness it was likely a seasoned sex offender pervert who was stalking her and stalking the house and when they were out that night at the Christmas Party he creeped into the house hid in the basement he had plenty of time to write that long rambling note and he waited for them to come home and then to go to bed and he struck he sexuallly assaulted her and somehow fractured her little skull maybe in a struggle maybe she tried to fight or cry out and he hit her with the flashlight or whatever and then he realized that had not killed her so he fashioned the garotte and put it around her little neck and squeezed or somehow applied enough force to end her life . the parents did not do this and no the brother did not kill her with no damn toy you people are deluded this child was brutalized and it was done by a hardened criminal predator not a kid who adored his sister and not her mother with no prior history of abusing the girl in a rage over the girl wetting the bed that is freaking ridiculous but those are 2 theories the Boulder PD threw at the wall to see which would stick neither did spoiler alert I just thank god there are actual smart people working on the case still

      Phil Hartman deserve justice.
      His own wife chose to be a domestic abuser and a murderer, disgusting.

      Why would she do that to their kids? They were in the house at the time. I would’ve just divorced him.

    Wicca is a peaceful religion. We dont beleive in Satan or his demons. Black majik is what you discribe, differnt from Wicca.
