Our Thoughts and Opinions

The plight of Betty Wilson:  

April 2000
Tell your children this is why reputation is important.

Think about it:

Two sisters tried for the same crime.
The only witness, the confessed killer, was unfit to testify and lied 58 times at Betty Wilson's trial.
No physical evidence connecting either sister to the murder
No forensic evidence to prove White had been in Betty Wilson's car as he stated in court.
One sister acquitted -- the first-grade school teacher active in her church.
One sister sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole -- the rich bitch who had an affair with a black man.

Now, something is very wrong with this picture! 

Things you need to know about this case.  

Betty Wilson was convicted of capital murder in March 1993 and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Betty Wilson is innocent!

In May of 1992 Betty Wilson and her twin sister, Peggy Lowe, were tried for allegedly hiring James White to kill Betty's wealthy husband, Dr. Jack Wilson at their home in Huntsville, Alabama. She did not hire anyone to kill her husband. The media made a circus of this disaster and portrayed Betty as a rich doctor's wife who should be punished for being a rich doctor's wife. The state presented no physical evidence connecting Betty to her husband's death. In fact, the state's own evidence proved she could not have participated in her husband's death.

The case revolved around a handyman, James White, the convicted killer. He was certifiably mentally ill, diagnosed with delusional schizophrenic; had spent his life in and out of jail and mental institutions; was an alcoholic; a drug abuser; a child molester; and was dishonorably discharged from the U.S. Army for stabbing an officer and shooting at his own men. After making a 'deal' for life in prison for himself, he admitted he had lied about Betty Wilson. There is documented proof that the State made the statement that without White's testimony there was no case against Betty Wilson. White was not tried until after he testified at both sisters' trials and was sentenced to life in prison. He has stated that he was coerced by the prosecution to testify against the sisters or go to the electric chair for capital murder.

Think about it again:

Two sisters tried for the same crime.
The only witness, the confessed killer, was unfit to testify and lied 58 times at Betty Wilson's trial.
No physical evidence connecting either sister to the murder
No forensic evidence to prove White had been in Betty Wilson's car as he stated in court.
One sister acquitted -- the first-grade school teacher active in her church.
One sister sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole -- the rich bitch who had an affair with a black man.

Now, something is very wrong with this picture! 

The web is safer than using the public library. 

Recently a woman in Huntsville, Alabama, was arrested and fined $100 plus court costs for overdue library books.  A month before the books were checked out the woman's purse was stolen.  Her police record was checked when she was involved in a minor traffic accident and  showed a warrant for her arrest for overdue library books. 

The woman has recently appeared on national TV to publicize the case. 

I understand that if a credit card is stolen and used you are liable for up to $50.  I have never heard of any one being arrested for losing a credit card.  But this lady was arrested for losing her library card.  I, for one, will remove my library card from my wallet and find a safe place for it.  I am considering cutting it into small pieces and using the libraries on the internet.

Pearl of wisdom contribution from Doug:
"As the zen master said to the hot dog vendor.
'make me one with everything.'"

Notice: We have not succeeded in solving all our problems although we continue to work on them. The answers
we have found only serve to raise a whole set of new questions.
In some ways we feel we are as confused as ever, but we believe we are confused on a higher level and about more important things.

Always give people more than they expect to get.

The pleasure you get from life is equal to the attitude you put into it.
cheers, from Diana January 1997

Tell me that the "paranormal" doesn't exist, after you explain how and why the universe is the way it is.  And prove it. -- Doug
