McCormick's reputation as a liar was important.<br /><br />Not guilty verdict on a man who was perfectly willing to kill again and but never mind his confession because he has such a reputation as a LIAR. Although, the only possible motive for his lying in his confession was so that he could MURDER AGAIN for money…”good man”, eh?

It was not all...The first trial had his confession. It was not allowed in the second BECAUSE he was shown by his defense to be a habitual liar. So the jury never heard the confession. There was not enough evidence left to convict him again after all the years and the confession was not allowed to be played for the jury. I HEARD the confession. And so did the first jury-which put him on death row. The dumb hair did not. The confession was chilling and evil. I do not "want" him to be guilty. I wish noone was guilty of putting a bullet in the brain of a 22 year old young woman just because she found the stuff her brother and McCormick had stolen from the college. But noone who heard the confession will EVER have any doubt. He can move on to whatever-he was not convicted in his second trial. He was not, however, exonerated, by any means. I imagine he will move on to his next victim sooner or later. But that is his choice now I guess. Have fun being his friend, UGH. As for being sorry this happened to a young woman, his taped confession said all that needed to ever be said about that-he called her every vile name in the book. I don't have any need to judge him and his being in prison or dead will never bring her back. If I am wrong and he is innocent, then he can tell God that on judgement day. Her entire pharmacy school class can't wait to see it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520181377098252167.post-19110223707300445882010-04-26T08:11:24.568-07:002010-04-26T08:11:24.568-07:00Michael is a good man who did not commmit this cri...Michael is a good man who did not commmit this crime. He spent too much of his life in prison for a crime that he didn't commit as it is. why don't you people just leave him alone and let him move on with his life in peace. You are the ones who should be apologizing and confessing to the sin of judging someone on something that you have nothing to base it on. He lost enough. I'm sorry that this happened to her but just because you want him to be guilty doesn't make it so. <br />-friend of michael'sAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520181377098252167.post-2706111150779939652008-11-10T02:01:00.000-08:002008-11-10T02:01:00.000-08:00I know what's next for him. I was at the original ...I know what's next for him. I was at the original trial when all the evidence was allowed to be presented. His guilt is not a question for those of us at the first trial when it had not been decades since Jenannie was slaughtered. How good witnesses are after 20 something years obviously is. Short of confessing his sins, taking resonsibility for them, and asking for forgiveness- what's next for him is burning in hell.
