While he was older than I, I remember him well. What, btw, is a SDA alum? Yeah, DLM..Willie & I both hailed from the same place, YC. While he was older than I, I remember him well.

What, btw, is a SDA alum?

WM was a very eccentric person (in a good way) whom made a indelible impression upon you every time you encountered him. My first meeting with him, I was seventeen and staying with one of my Mother's Delta friends who lived in Uptown New Orleans. Willie, wearing a mohawk, and another punkster pal showed up at this proper matron's home (she being a SDA alum from Greenwood.) We had the most entertaining conversations about Literature, Music and Art, the contents of which I no longer remember. We lost a national treasure when he passed.

I guess that's why NMC remembers Willie being at the trial. Beez…it’s been a long time since I read Willie’s Homecoming, I’ll have to revisit it.

We're appalled that he has been paroled. I can only ask this question to his "friends" in this string.....Seriously, imagine that this horrific, brutual crime happened to your sister, would you say "he served his time" or "he derserves a chance" I dare say not. I remember hearing from a judge I knew about details of the murder and it was SHOCKING! I knew his brother and my sister knew him during high school years. We’re appalled that he has been paroled.

After they let the State of Kentucky have your trash, will anyone in that state be told what they have unwillingly received? Will they be told that he will repeat his repulsive crime and they best not open their doors? For something like this to happen (his being released) just serves as another example of the lack of justice in this country. No matter what anyone says or does, nothing is in concrete. Getting a life sentence means - must do 10 years. Getting the death sentence just means living in prison for the duration of their life, MAYBE. What is the point of even having the justice system if 5 people can ultimately choose the fate of one person against the fate of an already enforced death he gave to a person that should be alive. But ISN'T, because of this pig! There is nothing they can say to justify their decision. Obviously they don't care at all about his victim that he brutalized beyond comprehension. Apparently they just don't want to see his face any more. It must be easier on them to just release him than to do the paperwork to say no. What is the point of having a jury, when no matter what they decide means nothing? What is the point of having a judge, when his ruling of life in prison is worthless? MAYBE there wouldn't be repeat offenders if they actually had to serve what they were sentenced to. MAYBE new criminals coming up the ranks wouldn't be so quick to commit a crime if they knew that this state actually enforced the sentences given. Your judicial system is a joke if this is what you do. But it is a very sick and sad and scary joke. I have concluded that the members of this parole board are missing a few neurons in their brains.

And I do not need to spend a MOMENT of my precious time considering how I would enjoy a stay in prison because I did not rape, sodomize, beat, torture, and murder that poor woman as well as kill her unborn child like your "friend" did. So I could care less than nothing about whether or not that animal is happy to be in prison. News flash!!! It is prison and he is supposed to hate every one of those 7300+ days that make up his less than adequate stay. "Assuming the man did the crime" says so much about your intellect and maturity. And I GET IT!! Life did not mean life in the backwoods legal system that was in place at the time of this crime. That does not mean that he should have been awarded parole, just that he was legally entitled to the chance of parole. I responded to that comment with the intellect that it deserved.
