In all probability, the events that GM felt bad about from during his Army days took place in Vietnam, not in North Carolina.
My thoughts exactly.

Byn: Prime example of that kind of nonsense was when Lane stated in her original affidavit that the message on the barn was written in paint, and then during the False Witness documentary, Lane states that the message was written in blood.

Absolutely true JTF! What really annoys me is that the affidavit's (even Bryant Lane's) have become MORE detailed with time. Memory does not work that way. There is no way that Lane or anyone ever heard GM specifically confess to these murders. Yet, as recently as the last filing on behalf of Inmate, Lane's affidavit makes that claim which contradicts his earlier affidavits.
In all probability, the events that GM felt bad about from during his Army days took place in Vietnam, not in North Carolina.

In regards to Mitchell, the defense team now argues that despite the DNA test results, the most important element that links Mitchell to the crime scene are the claims from several individuals who stated that Mitchell confessed to them. The utter absurdity of the defense team's argument is heightened when you add the following:
1) Mitchell denied any involvement in these murders to the CID in 1971 and the FBI in 1981.
2) Mitchell's fingerprints were not found at the crime scene.
3) Helena Stoeckley was the only individual who claimed to witness Mitchell attacking the MacDonald family, yet her DNA was also excluded from the crime scene by the AFIP.
As James Blackburn so eloquently put it, "evidence doesn't lie, but people do."
Justthefacts.

No confession from Mitchell. No DNA from Mitchell was found at the crime scene. No fingerprints from Mitchell were found at the crime scene. Mitchell passed a polygraph exam in 1971. Mitchell denied involvement in the murders to the FBI in 1981. Nuff said.
Justthefacts.

Hello all, and thanks for taking the time to post.
It's very sad that Greg Mitchell wasn't properly investigated and instead was given an easy ride by members of the so-called "CID". His "questioning" basically consisted of being asked "did you do it? No, okay, bye."
If he had been effectively investigated, who knows what might have happened. Maybe this terrible crime would have been solved finally.

Thought this little snippet would be good to add to this thread. Newcomers to the case--people who don't know the facts which showed Mitchell was never in 544 Castle Drive--might be interested in knowing that while Mitchell certainly was a drug abuser, he apparently wasn't all bad. May he rest in peace.
Gregory Mitchell's Army records
http://tinyurl.com/y6chkc
p. 21: Evaluated as "Passive Dependent Personality."
p. 24: "...received the Bronze Star and the Army Commendation Medal during prior service with the 82d Airborne Division in Vietnam from 11 October 1968 to 13 December 1969...was chosen as a 'Soldier of the Month' while serving with Company C, 82d Support Battalion, 3d Brigade, 82d Airborne Division during December of 1968 when last he served in Vietnam..."
p. 29 of this document lists more decorations, badges, etc.
Mitchell received an honorable discharge.

Hello there, "Bunny2" and thank you for taking the time to post.
For your information, Doctor MacDonald has freely admitted that he feels guilty about not being able to help his wife and the Jeffkids on that night. He did his best, but it wasn't good enough and this knowledge haunts him.
But anyway, this thread is about Mr Mitchell. I was basically just saying that if the so-called "CID" had investigated this case properly, all lingering doubts about Mr Mitchell may have been erased.
As it is, he remains a compelling suspect, and his utterances are alone enough to create reasonable doubt about the guilty of Doctor MacDonald.
Take care of yourself.

The points I made in my prior post on Mitchell were simply icing on a large evidentiary cake, yet INTGALBT can't grasp even the most basic concepts.
Of course Mitchell wasn't present, and neither was any other "intruder." Hats off to the CID and Ivory and Freddy Kassab and Brian Murtagh and all the rest of the good people who did such a good job in helping to see that justice was done! Everyone knows no crime scene investigation is perfect, but the first impressions of the investigators who worked this case were right on target. Mac's story started out being hinky, and over the years he continues to demonstrate his consciousness of guilt, helping to prove them right.
Too bad Helena and Mitchell aren't still here and can't know they've been vindicated. May they rest in peace!

Hi there, "Bunny2", and thank you for taking the time to post.
Do you have any views on why Greg Mitchell and other individuals were not investigated properly, and why the crime scene was handled so badly? Sheer incompetence, or something more sinister?
You take care of yourself.

Hi there "Bunny2", and thank you for taking the time to post.
And woah, calm down there! You're getting over-excited, and I already fear for your blood pressure!
I think you misunderstood. All I was saying was that if the so-called "CID" had behaved in an appropriate and professional and competent manner, the lingering questions which will now ever remain about Mr Mitchell's involvement may have been laid to rest.
As it is, with a contaminated crime scene, nothing there can be given credence. Garbage in, Garbage out. This was an appallingly-handled crime scene.
You take care of yourself.

Heck, JTF, what did we expect, anyway? I mean, all anyone has to do is look at the troll's posts to see that they're worthless contributions to the discussions going on. Must be the products of a deranged mind, eh? You know what they say: garbage in, garbage out, and we sure have seen plenty of garbage from this troll! LOL!
