I wrote yesterday about the death of 57-year old Barney Goodman. Goodman was a Vietnam Veteran (Marine) who had lost both legs to diabetes. He was robbed of his disability check, beaten, and thrown into a creek.
The two men who left him for dead (and Mr. Goodman did die…10 hours after he was finally able to crawl 40′ up the creek enbankment) were arrested today at a mobile home park in Baytown.
Kenneth Dollery, 22, and Hollis B. Buckley, 21, both gave statements to police admitting their involvement in Goodman’s death, said Liberty County Sheriff Greg Arthur.
Dollery and Buckley have both been charged with with capital murder in the death of Barney Goodman. In Texas, capital murder carries a maximum penalty of death. Seeing how both men have already admitted their guilt in the pre-meditated robbery and murder of Mr. Goodman, I’d like to see their trial held tomorrow morning, and their death sentence carried out before the end of the week.
Sadly, that won’t happen. And both of these pieces of shit will still be sitting on death row 10 years from now, when the memory of Barney Goodman is all but lost except to those who knew him best.




Thanks for the update. 125 years ago your sentence would have already been carried out by now. The good ‘ole days.
A completely senseless crime. And these POS’s commit such a heinous act against the very man who fought for their freedom.
I’ll make sure I’m having a cocktail when they get theirs.
Don’t you know that these confessions were beaten from them? That they weren’t properly Mirandized? That their parents will provide them with alibis? Sheesh – were you born yesterday?
You know, that might well be the best thing about the lengthy appeals process. It isures that the victim is remembered for a long time, whereas if the sentence and execution is quick, they would probably be forgotten overnight.
I understand the bad aspects of it too, of course, especially for the families of the victims. Still, waiting a few years has it’s advantages. Not only does it insure the right person is being executed, it aLso gives the guilty party a lot of time to consider what they have done, to actually feel their coming execution getting closer and closer, with nothing in mnost cases they can do to stop the eventuality.
I think we should adopt Japanese Code of Criminal Procedure… the condemned have no knowledge of their date, and are are notified the morning of their execution.
They’ll keep them in total confinement, allow them three books, and notify nobody of the execution until it’s time to claim the body.
Scum, such as Buckley and Dollery, will be given too many rights and luxuries throughout their prison life. They’ll cry and moan about their childhood, say they didn’t do it, waste our hard-earned money on meals and appeals, earn a few degrees, and find God.
I say strap ‘em, stick ‘em, and ship ‘em.
How do you know what happened that night?
I bet that you didnt know that Shane was the biggest crackheads in Baytown.
He owed money to people and my brother was a good person, just one time something went wrong and you want to curse him?
You dont know my brother or my cousin, so I suggest you shut the fuck up.
You have no idea what happened, and you have no idea who these people are, you my friend are a sick bastard and I hope you burn in hell.
You have no fucking idea what went on that night or what happened you didnt know who my brother na dcousin were ubtill you heard about this and you have no idea hwat kind of people they are, they are good people.And I bet you didnt know that Shane Goodman was the biggest crackhead in Baytown.Did you know that?No, you didnt.you dont know how good of a person Hollis is, do you?No, you dont.He would give a homelesss person the shirt off of his back.I suggest you shut your dumb ass mouth if you dont know what you are saying you mother fucking son of a bich.Burn in hell for saying that.
FUCK YOU!
Oh, Heather! You french kiss your brother and cousin with that mouth?
Barney Goodman was an elderly double amputee. You appear to believe that your brother and cousin had the right to murder and rob him because he allegedly owed them money. Get real.
Heather, you best watch what you are saying and be able to back it because believe me you are going to get the chance.
I sure hope your brother and cousin take it up the azz every night in jail for what they did to Shane.
i feel bad for barney, but this has gone way to far.
my brother hollis is a good person, i really have no idea how this came out of him. its just the wrong time and wrong place. do you have any idea how its been for us? his family has sit back and watched his life slowly destroyed. im sorry this all happened but it did. why are you condemning some one for a crime you could have easily done? do you have a soul? if this barney is so good than you see him in heaven. please stop all this hate, it leads to nothing. i know you people see my brother as a murder, but he is the same as you. you cant tell me you havent done something you regret? i talk to him as much as i can and he is incomplete diarray that it still happened. and THAT WORST NIGHTMARE , what the hell is that? i like how you get kicks talking crap to little girls. why are you gonna fill her mind with that? heather honey im sorry this happened. itll be better soon. have you imagined what is going on for her? no you havent so shut up. have some respect.
why are you condemning some one for a crime you could have easily done?
Are you nuts? No, I could never kick someone to death. Get real.
if this barney is so good than you see him in heaven.
So, that makes his death okay? Again, are you nuts?
i know you people see my brother as a murder, but he is the same as you. you cant tell me you havent done something you regret?
No, your brother is not the same as me, in that I have never murdered anyone and would never murder anyone. I can tell you I have never committed a violent crime nor will I in the future, so I have no regrets on par with your brothers.
Heather is the one who came here and talked crap. You and her should show some respect by shutting up. You both come across as extremely callous.
Hollis is not a good person, good people don’t murder handicap vets.
I don’t really care how it’s been for you and your family. How dare you play the victims here! You are just as demented as Hollis.
No I could not have commited this crime but it seems as though you could have. Your statements futher prove that you and your whole trashy family need to be locked away.
As far as getting “kicks talking crap to little girls” uh did you read what little Heather wrote? Her mouth is worse than a sailor which is no surprise coming from your trashy family. By the way, I have no idea who she is or how old she is and I could really care less. All I know is that she came on here and trashed a dead person and hailed his murderer. Are you proud of what you are teaching her?? Idiot!
I hope you enjoy your prison visits with Hollis, as I’m fairly certain you will all be in there someday.
I am the x-wife of Shane, and the mother of his children. It saddens me that so much hate came out of his life. No, he was not an angel in this life, but he is now. He would never have ever done this kind of horrible act to any of his brothers and sisters on earth. He was a kind, loving man who fought hard for his country. I was married to him when he came home from Vietnam a changed and injured man in spirit and in body. He sacrificed for everyone’s freedom, just like all the other Veterans in this world have done. There is nothing I can think of that justifies another human beating taking the legs off of a disabled veteran, having them sit on the bank of a river, him knowing what is about to happen, and beat them in the back of the head with a bat and leave them for dead. I do feel such sorrow for the families of Buckley & Dollery, their nightmare has just begun. They have lost their loved ones just like my daughters, and grandchildren have lost their Daddy & Grandpa. It’s all been a sensless act over money! God Bless all of the Veterans and our friends and loved ones swho stood beside us in the midst of this horror. We miss Shane and think about him everyday.
I cannot believe that Heather thinks that Her brother is the same as everyone else. I taught my children to be strong, caring individuals, and to never hurt anyone. How can anyone with morals beat someone so badly that he dies from his injuries. And, leaving him in the water to die without his legs. These are NOT good people we are talking about. It doesn’t matter what kind of person the victim is, what does matter is that Kenneth and Hollis pre-meditated his murder, and robbed him of his measly veterans check. I certainly hope that Hollis and Kenneth go through their lives in prison having to think about what they did everyday. The death penalty is too kind, make them suffer and think about their death, just like they made Shane have to think about what was about to happen to him. Shane was not a worthless indiviual, he meant a lot to a lot of people who are heartbroken over losing him.
I am the daughter of Shane Goodman. I loved him very much. All that is left now is heartache and memories. The simple fact is… he is dead and the men who decided his fate…they must pay the price.
Now the time is coming for Dollery and Hollis to pay the price for the crime they committed. I wonder if the family members of these two feel the same way after hearing their confessions! Wow, what losers, and lost souls. I do have pity on people that are so ignorant and don’t know what can happen to them after following their mommies. What kind of mother is it that instructs her son to commit murder? Wow, I always thought you are supposed to teach your children to be good persons in life. All of this started with the mother, if you can call her that, of one of those losers telling her son to go get her money & she didn’t care what they had to do to get it. I hope she burns in hell along with the 2 that murdered Barney.
To the family of the Hollis and Kenneth, what in the world would their grandmother think if she was still alive?? This happen not even a year or so after she passed away, Carolyn is probably flipping over in her grave. And as far as the piece of crap of Hollis’ mother Shirley, when her mother was on her death bed she stole everything she could to get her next high, from pain medication to what ever was in her mother’s house that was of value so she could support her drug habit. She is a worthless piece of crap. I faithfully beleive Shirley put these boy’s up to doing this and she is just as guilty as they are and she should pay for her actions also.. and they all will have to face their maker one day..
And to the family of Mr. Goodman, I pray for you everyday. Ever since I heard about this. You deserve Justice and you will get it. God Bless you and your family..
Today is begining of rightful justice that will soon be for everyone involved in my uncles murder. I will never know my uncle shane, the way that my family and his friends have known him. It hurts to think about all of the events and memories he will never be able to share with our family or with me. To the families of the murderers i am sorry that it got to that point, that you had to take away another persons life to get some money. It is tragic that i am only a year younger than the men who killed my uncle, and i cannot fathom how they even thought of that as a option. They may have gone into that september day thinking one person would die, but it reality everyone who knew shane goodman died a little inside. God bless everyone who did, and hopefully we can all be just as stong as my uncle. I love you uncle bear.
Today, Kenneth Dollery was convicted of Capital Murder in the death of Shane Goodman. He has been sentenced to Life in Prison with No possibility of parole. The world is safer with this dangerous criminal safely locked away in the Texas prison system.
When you start your criminal career by kidnapping, robbing and killing a disabled veteran, what’s next?
The family is grateful for the continuing efforts of the Liberty County District Attorneys’ office and Sherriff’s department. Two of the people responsible for this crime are now convicted; soon all other persons responsible will join these two as permanent guests of the State. The jury examined the evidence and returned a just verdict. They were tremendous!
Shane fought his way out of the river, back to the road with no legs and a broken arm. He stayed conscious hours to get the attention of a good Samaritan. He relayed the critical information needed to ensure those responsible would face justice. How can we give less effort!
God bless you all for your support.
To all of the people who have followed the case of Barney Ross Goodman lovingly called ”Shane” case.
We sincerely appreciate your sympathies and prayers.
To the Jurors, who TODAY found Kenneth Dollery guilty of Capital Murder and sentenced him to life in prison with no possibility of parole, we say thank you. Thank you for sticking through the trial and finding the truth in the whole mess of lies. Thank you for giving our father the justice that he deserves.
This was not just a great day for our family, but a great day for our father.
We hold great memories of our father and would love to give you insight on the kind of man our father was:
He called us “Pumpkin” and “Baby girl”, there was comfort in those words. These simple words are sorely missed in our lives.
We are still so proud of his voice, the talent he possessed.
The songs he wrote for Robert E. Lee High School, The Marine Corp, Hell Raiser and so many more.
Teaching us the lyrics to “Delta Dawn” when we were little girls
We are proud of his ability to make a friend out of any stranger. His love and kindness to give the shirt off his back to anyone who needed it and take those who needed a place to stay.
We are proud of the hero he was as a marine fighting for our countries freedom.
We are proud of the survivor he was with the loss of his legs. A strong man that learned to walk before the doctors ever imagined anyone could.
We are proud of the strength he possessed in the hours before his death. The fact that he drug his legless, broken arm, wounded head, and body that was riddled with disease up a forty foot embankment in hot humid August night weather. We are proud of him fighting back against the men who beat him and left him for dead. The words he was able to get out that resulted in the capture of the cowards who left him there.
These last few years have been the toughest our family has ever been through, but we have the strength our father instilled in us to get through these hard times.
Today was only the first in a long line of victories in the Liberty County Courthouse for our family.
We will continue to pursue all parties in the involvement in our father’s death. And we will not rest until we get every last one of them behind bars.
God Bless to everyone.
God Bless you, his daughters.
I can’t begin to imagine what an ordeal this has been for you and your family.
May your father rest in peace.
Justice is being served on those who committed this horrible and senseless act.
To the daughters of Shane Goodman:
Your account of your father — and your fight for justice for him — brought tears to my eyes. God bless you both, along with your entire family.
May your father rest in peace. I am so happy that he had such a loving family. It is your faithfulness to his memory that provides the most elegant testimony to the type of man he was.
Your father obviously had many fine qualities. God bless him for his service to his country — as well as for all the sacrifices he made and love he so obviously gave.
Are we sure we have all the facts in this tragedy? I.ve followed this story from Florida when I can and there seems to still be some mysteries. What roll did Shirley French play in the crime? I,ve heard some not so flattering rumors about the victim. But I’m not here to bash him.
If his family was so worried about him, why weren’t they more involved in his life? If they had some worries about the man where were they when he needed to cash his check? Check on him to see if he was eating properly, getting medical care or if he just wanted to see his family.
Guilty is pretty much guilty unless its not. Anyone can be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It could be possible that one of the suspects just drove to the crime scene and events occured that they couldn’t control, so in a temporary lapse of judgement they set into motion a chain of events that they could not control.
I’m just saying that it’s possible. Texas has sentenced a man to life without parole based on accomplise testimony without any coarbitration, and on hearsay evidence from another witness.
Ladies and Gentleman this was and is a terrible occourance but I just suggest we look at all the evidence. I can’t imagine that there were no possible alternate theories of the crime.
To the family of Mr. Goodman, I wish you peace in your life.
So, who are you related to? Dollery or Hollis?
You’re so full of shit!
Dear Vet: This was taken out of the Liberty Texas newspaper. After reading and learning all the facts, I am sure that this was a pre-meditated capital murder and that justice has prevailed:
Kenneth Wayne Dollery, 24, of Baytown, Texas, was convicted by a Liberty County jury of Capital Murder and sentenced to Life without parole on Aug. 14.
A jury was selected to hear the capital murder case against Kenneth Wayne Dollery in the 253rd District Court on Aug. 10.
First Assistant District Attorney Anne Streit began the presentation of the State’s evidence on Aug. 11. The presentation of the evidence was completed on Aug. 13.
The evidence at the trial revealed that Barney Ross Goodman, 57, a double amputee Viet Nam veteran, was staying in the residence of a friend in Baytown in August of 2006 when Kenneth Dollery and his family moved into the house.
On Sept. 1, 2006, Kenneth Dollery and his stepmother, Tammy Delaney, took Mr. Goodman to a bank so he could withdraw some money. Later on in the day,
Goodman was robbed of his money by Dollery and his cousin, Hollis Buckley. Dollery and Buckley then made Goodman go with the two men in Dollery’s vehicle. Dollery and Buckley drove Barney Ross Goodman to the San Jacinto River Bridge on FM 2090 in Liberty County.
There, Kenneth Dollery removed Barney Ross Goodman’s prosthetic legs. Hollis Buckley then hit Barney Ross Goodman in the head with a baseball bat. Both men then dragged Barney Ross Goodman into the San Jacinto River.
The two men partied with Goodman’s money later on that evening. Barney Ross Goodman was left for dead but he managed to crawl some 260 feet up an embankment where he was discovered by a passing motorist.
Barney Ross Goodman was able to give a description of his attackers to law enforcement and EMS personnel. Barney Ross Goodman died on Sept. 2, 2006, from the stress associated with the head injury and being exposed to the environment for more than five hours. Kenneth Dollery and Hollis Buckley were subsequently arrested in Baytown.
This assures me that the right people are in jail!
So, if you’re not here to bash the victim, WHY ARE YOU????
Are you really going to suggest that just because a person is not an absolute angel in their life, it justifies being beaten and left to die a horrible death???
Just because he was a proud man and did not want to burden his family, means that they didn’t care or weren’t there for him??? How do you know what his relationship was with his family??? From what I heard his body was consumed with disease, but he did not want to worry his family or burden them with his care. He seemed to be the kind of man who loved his independence, even after losing his legs.
I would not wish this on my worst enemy. However, I would love to hear what you would say if this happened to you or one of your loved ones. What you would say to the people that conspired to rob and kill your loved one. How you would feel after hearing the murderers talk about the loss of your loved one with no emotion or remorse for their actions.
I’m sure that there are still mysteries to the case that we have not been told. The District Attorney’s Office seems to be keeping everything about this case close to their vest, so that it does not jeopardize the future cases of all parties that have yet to stand trial.
So, I ask that you reserve your comments until AFTER YOU have sat in the Liberty County Court House, and listened to the Defendant’s CONFESSION to Capital Murder!!!!! You can plainly go up the ladder of charges, just as the Jury did, and see that his involvement was not JUST DRIVING the car.
You will then see for yourself how BOTH MEN are EQUALLY GUILTY to Capital Murder.
Also, I remember reading in the newspaper about one of his daughters said that “If we would have known that he lived in a pit of vipers, we would have rescued them.”
Unfortunately, we can’t tell the people who can murder someone by the way they look or act. We never really seem to know about a person and the killer within until they are caught.
Sorry, I’m not related to anyone, it’s just a coincidence. But don’t get me wrong, I know the Goodman family has been hurting for a long time. I just read up on some of the proceedures Texas follows and hey if a trial is slanted it can be by many different ways, the most common is by supplying sub-standard counsel to the accused because that particular district does not have an assigned pool of attourneys dedicated to Public Defense.
Take a look at the Appeals that happen. If you don’t follow the rules you must pay the price. That goes for suspects as well as the legal system. The better the legal system the less the appeals. If a man is guilty then so be it, if you need to stack the deck to insure it, you yourself have circumvented the very system on which this country was built on.
I am sorry for your loss anonymouse but hating every living thing is not the answer.
Liar.
You’re only sorry for the murderers. And you comment about hating every living thing is pure projection.
FYI, I don’t hate every living thing. I have a lot of love and forgiveness in my heart.
I just can’t stand murderers and the idiots who feel sorry for murderers. The ones that use a poor defense council as an excuse for a murderer receiving life in prison for the life that he took.
Did ya ever think that there were no other alternate theories to the crime, because:
#1 BOTH SUSPECTS confessed to CAPITAL MURDER!!!!
and
#2 Because ALL EVIDENCE PROVES THAT THOSE WHO CONFESSED, COMITTED THE CRIME!!!! NO ONE ELSE BUT THEM!!!!
P.S. And there are the ones are still yet to stand trial for their involvement in Mr. Goodman’s death. Since your so involved and passionate about the legal system in this case, will you be paying for their Defense Council????
And one more thing, I know Shirley Buckley-French is just as guilty as the rest of the bunch.
What do you know that police and investigators don’t know? Have you given your proof or evidence to the proper authorities?
CBTENGR50,
Not only are you bashing the victim, but you are also bashing the family.
What kind of person are you??? Hope you feel good about yourself.
Wow! it takes a really big person to rag a family about their murdered brother…. Unless you personally know all the facts of the relationships and this case it would be best suggested you keep your opinions to yourself! God Bless Shane and his family, we will miss your bear hugs Bubba! love always baby-girl!
This in resonse to baby-girl and MT, Idid not bash the victims family, I simply asked a few questions, You will always live with the memory of your loved one being killed. I can not change that , I am 1500 miles away. You must allow people to speak their minds just to get your bearings.
I have a first ammendment right to speak my mind about any topic I choose. I do not choose to bash your family for two major reasons. One I don’t know your family, and two I do not have all the answers that I need, so as far as keeping my opinions to myself, I’m sorry but not you or the Supreme Court can do that.
I do believe we have gotten off on the wrong foot, I am an Army Vet and also disabled. I have been around the world in search of Americas’ freedom and this is truely a tragedy. I ask a few questions and everyone jumps me like a free ride at the fair.
I ask you to look for grievance help, mabey it will help. I will not bother your family anymore. Peace
Are you nuts?
You came here to deliberately insult the family. No, no one must allow some asshole (you) to speak their minds just to get their bearings. That’s crazy talk.
And you absolutely do not have a first amendment right to post what you want on this blog, jackass. And again you bashed the family.
The USSC cannot shut you up? Well, the blog owner can sure shut you up.
And I don’t believe that you are an Army veteran. If you were, you wouldn’t be defending the cold blooded murderers of a veteran and shitting all over his family.
Piss off!
Amen!
I hope that you do leave this family in peace.
All they wanted was to announce victory in a long awaited battle in which they did not ask for. Then you came in, bashed their loved one and them at the same time. All the while making them feel like their victory was based on a slanted case with sub-standard defense council only. Not the fact that the authorities caught the murderers and the Jury went over all evidence that proved without a reasonable doubt that that defendant committed the murder alongside the others involved.
I still cannot believe that you actually had the nerve to do that to this family.
To me, it’s not a matter of your first amendment right to speak freely; it’s about being a good and caring person. What you did was so not right.
Peace to the family of Mr. Goodman, I hope that you can find comfort in the memories of your loved one.
For the life of me I can’t understand why you are attacking me. I was simply following a story that someone had brought to my attention, the story dissappeared for a couple of years and then re-surfaced with a vengence. I was sucking hind tit, you know when you really don’t have the whole story, and I posted a comment on a web page only to find myself under attack. I will say this one more time, to the family of Mr. Goodman I offer my complete condolences.
Now whomever is anonymous, you don’t know me. I can assure you that I’m an Army Vet, disabled as a rating and I have been wounded. Whether you belive me or not is irrelevant because I no longer care.
In my original post all I was trying to do was establish the wellfare of Mr. Goodman, but you chose to jump me like a cornered king. Down here we blog to get things out in the air, let them breath, and see if anybody has any thing to add. Please do not judge me for I am not Judging you.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting free exercise thereof, or abridging freedom of speech, or of the press;or the right of the people peacceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Oh, STFU already. You were judging and insulting the family. Tacking on some bullshit condolences doesn’t fool anyone.
And you have no first amendment right to post on this blog. The owner can ban you ass anytime he wants.
Okay, I’ll go to your level, since we don’t have any rules. Fuck you and anyone who looks like you, your momma, daddy and your prcecious. Grab a hold of your pants, that’s your wigger pants, and go kiss your daddy. Come on you know what your daddy is, it’s about that long and that big around. You can handle it, you’ve been trained by the best.
Fuck you anonymous, your sister your friends and everyone you went to High School with. Grab your only head and push it between your legs and kiss your own ass.
I could care less if you suck the shit out of your own asshole you crawling sump pump. Fuck your Mother, your Father and whoever donated the semen that made you possible. The Gene pool is SHALLOW!
If that’s the response you were waiting for, you got it. Take your web site and stick it up your ass you NFG>
If you want to belittle someone, make sure you can back yopur own ass up. It must be great growing up in texas knowing that all we have to do is carry out justice without worry about that little pesky document called the Constitution. Now I am the most reasonable person you would ever meet but today you sir can FUCK YOURSELF.
Maby that’s what you need, a little angewr to combat yours. Well come on you fag bastard, give me your best shot. You my friend are a fucking Idiot, I thought I could grab a conversation with you but you are Texified, you want the perps lynched. Well Mr. big balls why didn’t you do it? Why didn’t you kill the fucking assholes who killed your kin ?:??? Can you spell PUSSY, no jury in texas would convict you. What’s the matter, can’t get a gun permit. My housekeepeer has a gun permit. You must be some kind of loser not to have one of those.
Do you fucking idiots think I’m faking myself now. Of course you do, because you can’t even wipe yourselves without feeling guilty.
In case I forgot, FUCK YOU!!!!!
Please stop all of the hateful comments. This is a website that is for letting people know about the trials and informatoon regaurding barney goodman. It shouldnt be used to stoop down to any “level” we need to all be civil and respectful. it goes back to the golden rule. So if you cant say anything nice, please dont bother commenting. Our family is hurting enough as it is, without anyone coming on here and insulting people. Thanks.
Can you honestly sit there and tell me that you do not see how inconsiderate you were to this family as they were celebrating a victory for their lost loved one?
Can’t you see how you were bashing the victim?
Can’t you see how you were bashing the family?
Here you are taking away pieces of their victory by saying there is a chance that this was just a momentarliy lapse in judgement.
Now your implying that their case was slanted and that the only reason they received justice was due to fact the defendent received sub-standard defense council. Not the fact that they had the actual murders who confessed, and the evidence proves their guilt without a reasonable doubt.
Why is it so hard for you to say that this person did commit the crime along with Hollis and Shirley Buckley-French?
All I am saying is that if you truly wish peace to the family of Mr. Goodman, don’t bash them or their lost loved one. You could be a little more considerate in the words and things you choose to say.
I’m merely an outsider looking in as well, but I’m in tears because I also know the kind of pain they are going through. I too have lossed a loved one due to a violent and senseless crime. To hear them defending their love one and the actions of their family to a complete stranger, after what I’m sure has been the hardest few years of their lives, saddens me to no end.
I hope this family truly finds peace and forgiveness in their hearts.
Okay Family, I want to go on record as trying to have a disscussion from the get go. Was not allowed, got cussed and belittled from the get go. All I wanted was a discussion about what the hell happened.
Hey, youget what you sow. I’ve had nothing but grief from the Family that I just happened upon. You can not tell me what to think. I give up. please do not contact me anymore UI GIVE UP< YOU WIN< I LOSE<GO AWAY and have many inbred babies, make sure you apply for gun permits when they are born. There should be a box to check right next to sex..
FYI< that doesn't mean to have sex with the new-born. But I'm not here to mess with texas
Okay, I’m sorry but you went WAY TO FAR!!!! This has gotten completely out of hand.
You say that YOU WERE BEING ATTACKED when you came on here just to start conversation. You have never NEVER ANSWERED ANY OF MY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS about your comments.
Dad,
Today is your birthday. All I want is to wish you a Happy Birthday and tell you how much I love you.
I wish you were here so that I had the opportunity to tell you how much I love and miss you, but I do feel your presence around me.
I miss the times we had together and times that we missed. I play your song “Marine Corp.” all the time just to hear your voice. It comforts me in way I never knew before.
I am happy that we have been able to get justice for you. It seems so unreal at times to think that your gone and the way you had to go just makes it unbearable. But, we are making sure all of those who did this to you pay the price.
Love you much,
Your Little Babygirl
Happy Birthday Uncle Bear!!!
I love you and miss you very much!
Love Always,
Your Neice
If anyone has any doubts about the guilt of Kenneth Dollery, and were not able to attend the trial and really get the whole piture. Read this article that was printed in the Liberty Newspaper. Then you will be assured that Kenneth and Hollis are exactly where they deserve to be. And that our jury of peers made the right decision to give him Life in Prison without the possibility of parole. This was without a doubt a pre-meditated murder, and for what? We don’t need people like this on the streets of America.
Kenneth Wayne Dollery, 24, of Baytown, Texas, was convicted by a Liberty County jury of Capital Murder and sentenced to Life without parole on Aug. 14.
A jury was selected to hear the capital murder case against Kenneth Wayne Dollery in the 253rd District Court on Aug. 10.

Goodman was robbed of his money by Dollery and his cousin, Hollis Buckley. Dollery and Buckley then made Goodman go with the two men in Dollery’s vehicle. Dollery and Buckley drove Barney Ross Goodman to the San Jacinto River Bridge on FM 2090 in Liberty County.
There, Kenneth Dollery removed Barney Ross Goodman’s prosthetic legs. Hollis Buckley then hit Barney Ross Goodman in the head with a baseball bat. Both men then dragged Barney Ross Goodman into the San Jacinto River.
The two men partied with Goodman’s money later on that evening. Barney Ross Goodman was left for dead but he managed to crawl some 260 feet up an embankment where he was discovered by a passing motorist.
Barney Ross Goodman was able to give a description of his attackers to law enforcement and EMS personnel. Barney Ross Goodman died on Sept. 2, 2006, from the stress associated with the head injury and being exposed to the environment for more than five hours. Kenneth Dollery and Hollis Buckley were subsequently arrested in Baytown.
Has hollis buckley been sentence yet? if so what did he receive? i can find no infomation on him. to the family of barney goodman he can rest in peace knowing the scums are getting what they deserve hopefully you can have some peace in your lives also.
god bless you
Hollis pled guilty and was sentenced to life in prison with a possibility of parole in 20 years. He testified against Kenneth dollery.
Hollis pled out with a reduced sentence of life with the possibility of parole in 20 years. It is really sad that these boys ruined their entire life! But sadder, Mr. Goodman lost his. And for what?????
so you get 20 years for killing someone, come on isnt a life worth more than that? this is the problem with the system they are so eager to make deals and lessen the the sentence for these murderers and they know it they know how to work the system to basically walk free.
I agree! But what can you do. As long as they still convict Hollis’ trashy mother. She was the instigator and told her son to go kill someone for drug money. Her son would not be in prison right now if it wasn’t for her.
The problem with the system is that too many people complain about it without knowing what they are talking about.
The sentence was life with the possibility of parole after serving 20 years. That is not a guarantee that a prisoner will be released.
Prosecutors cut deals when they need the cooperation of a co-defendant in order to get a conviction. Without it, it will be difficult or impossible to get any conviction on any of the defendants at all. It is based on evidentiary issues.
They try to deal with the least culpable party however that doesn’t always work out. If the more guilty one agrees to testify for a lesser sentence and the less guilty one refuses to cooperate at all, do you refuse to deal and let all parties walk on the crime?
Buckley has not been sentenced yet, he wont until everyone who was a part of the murders has been tried. So anyone who has been saying otherwise is incorrect. Dollary was just moved to prison a day or so ago. Because Buckley has given information, the judge will consider that during his sentencing, but it does not gaurentee he will get a lesser sentence.
1) Fuck Hollis’s cousin, that crazy basterd is nuts. But as for Hollis himself. I grew up with him since I was 9 years old. We are the same age, and can HONESTLY say im the ONLY one here who knows him. The man had a messed up life from his dad dieing, to his step dad dieing, then to top it off, Got with a girl named Jessica Stith, who cared more for her coke and crack then anything else. After being with her for some time, Hollis got to into the drugs, and snapped. But as for all of you saying you wished he was killed now. Think of it this way, What if Hollis was just there for the ride? Thats someones son, and you should think of their friends and families, unlike Hollis’s cousin did. I do not believe Hollis did this, but do believe his cousin was the one to bend Hollis’s arm enough to do it. If anything, I believe his cousin should get death, and Hollis Life, WITH THE POSSIBILITY of parole.
No one could bend my arm that far. Hollis is just as guilty as Kenneth and Hollis’s mother Shirley.
Thank you Brenda! We agree COMPLETELY!
I know a lot of people who are far more fucked up than Hollis!!! And they did not kill anyone!!! Nothing excuses someone brutally killing someone!!!!

I am the youngest daughter of Shane Goodman. I am doing a project in honor of my father. I would love to speak with any of his friends, ex Marines buddies, etc and what you knew of him. I would greatly appreciate your time. I do not want this terrible senseless crime to be the last memory of my father. He was a great person, sure he had some issues, but doesn’t everyone? Like I said I would greatly appreciate your time and help with this. Please contact me at atudyk@msn.com. If anyone else would like to contribute to this project, please contact me as well. I look forward to hearing from you all.
Sincerely,
Babygirl
