Many people were focused on Amber Kirwan’s boyfriend when she went missing last fall, and while I found his behaviors odd, I was not conclusive at that time. You can read my thought here.
Convicted killer Christopher Alexander Falconer, who was on parole when Amber disappeared is the man now charged with her murder. You can read more here.
If you saw 48 Hours this past weekend, it was a fascinating story about a couple, Chris and Sheri Coleman, who were married twelve years, and supposedly became a target of hate mail. They started receiving threatening letters targeting Chris because he worked for Joyce Meyer, a well known religious televangelist. The letters hit Chris up to stop “preaching the bull”.
Move forward six months later, and the family is still receiving hate mail. Chris goes to the gym one morning and tries to call his wife. He couldn’t reach her, so he calls a neighbor who happens to be an investigator at the local police department, Detective Justin Barlow.
Detective Barlow sadly finds the entire Coleman family murdered in a house.
This case was littered with clues about who did this, and the police correctly picked up on it and prosecuted Chris Coleman who is now behind bars and rightfully so.
At the end of the 48 Hours show, I found it fascinating what Chris said. Chris is asked if he knows who murdered his family.
Chris responds, “I have absolutely no clue, believe me. I’ve racked my brain to try…for two and a half years to try and figure that part out (laughter). I just had to stop and give it to God–just release that and do my best to forgive that person and move on.”
Oh. My. God.
That is the most absolutely ridiculous thing I have ever heard: bar none.
If there is one statement that puts the nail in the coffin for Chris, this has to be it!!!
No innocent man who is sitting in jail for killing his wife and kids is going to give it to God and move on. Hell no!!! They are going to want to get justice for what was done to themselves and their loved ones!! They aren’t going to forgive a person who wrongly put them in jail!!!
It’s amazing to me how the mind thinks it can fool people. If this guy had any clue how a real victim would feel, he would have NEVER said this.
Unbelievable.
If anyone had their doubts about Chris, this should close the book for sure.
Here is the last update to the Ryan Ferguson case. If you aren’t familiar with it, you can read my original post here.
Ryan Ferguson was locked up seven years ago for allegedly murdering Kent Heitholt, a newspaper editor in Missouri. Two people testified against Ryan during his trial and now both have recanted their stories.
First, Chuck Erickson, Ryan’s friend, recanted his story that he was with Ryan at the murder, and now Jerry Trump, an employee at the newspaper where Heitholt worked has recanted his story as well as that he saw Ferguson.
I have said from the first time I saw this case that Ryan (& Chuck) are innocent, and hopefully a judge will agree after this evidentary hearing is ruled upon sometime in July.
I absolutely LOVE Kathleen Zellner. She is brilliant!
The person who I believe should be a person-of-interest in this case is Michael Boyd. I agree whole-heartedly with Kathleen!
The original prosecutor in this case needs to be held accountable, if you asked me for abusing the system, and Ryan needs to be set free.
George Zimmerman says in this video as he appears to be looking at his attorney that he is sorry that Martins lost their son. You quickly realize Zimmerman is not sorry that he killed Trayvon, only that the Martin’s lost his son.
There is a huge difference between the two, and it makes Zimmerman’s apology fall short, if you ask me.
Zimmerman appears to have planned to say this statement, and rehearsed it with his attorney. Hence that is why he looks at his attorney from what I can see when he begins the statement and when he ends it.
This was not the appropriate time for this apology nor was it done with any sincerity. It was clearly for image control than anything, if you ask me, and it came across exactly in that manner, as it was intended.
We can certainly conclude that Zimmerman is not remorseful about killing Martin — neither his words nor his emotions support this.
George shows notable inconsistencies when he is asked by the prosecuting attorney if he ever made an apologetic statement after the incident to police. He firmly says, “No, sir.”
Yet within a second or two, he realizes what he said and he changes his answer. He says, “I don’t remember what I said…I believe I said that.” Then Zimmerman tries to convince us he did say it, but he doesn’t remember much. He continues, “In one of the statements, I believe I said I was sorry.” Yet when questioned who was present when he spoke, he can’t confirm who it was.
Do I believe George? I do not.

I hope we can share thoughts and ideas like upstanding citizens.
While a lot jumped out at me in this video, the thing that stood out most is Robert’s accusations that he…”never foresaw so much hate coming from the president…”
Am I missing something?
What hate has Obama shown?
