UPDATE (June 10, 2008) — with only one week left before Charles Hood is executed, I’m closing all comments on all previous posts. I have started a new post HERE for all new comments about this story.
______
I first wrote about Texas Death Row inmate Charles Dean Hood back on June 8, 2005. I wrote about him again on June 27, 2005.
And now, Charles has written me back.
One of his most ardent supporters and pen-pals (Darby) has forwarded me a lengthy letter written by Dean about me and this blog.
I was reluctant to post the letter here out of respect and concern for the families of the victims. However, the sister of one of Charles’ victims has requested that the letter be posted. The entire letter from Charles can be read beneath the fold at the end of this post.
___________
For those of you who don’t follow my death row blogging, Charles Dean Hood was convicted of the November 1, 1989 murder of Tracie Wallace and Ronald Williamson in Plano, TX.
The evidence used to convict Mr. Hood was overwhelming, including:
- Hood’s voice heard on a 911 call from Williamson’s house.
- 4-minutes later, when police arrive Hood was no longer at the crime scene.
- Hood’s bloody fingerprints were found on the bags covering the victims and the one taped around Tracie’s head, on the closet door where the bodies were hastily shoved, and on the weight machine propped against the door.
- Hood was found driving the victim’s truck, cashing their checks, using their credit cards, and pawning their jewelry after the murders.
Since writing about Hood, the Comments Section has become a heated and emotional back-and-forth between members of Mr. Williamson’s family (his son), Hood’s family (his brother and sister-in-law), Hood’s supporters and pen-pals (Darby), and Tracie’s sister (Big Sis) — who has become a friend to me over the last two years.
I have closed the comments section on one of the other posts, as it has grown to over 400 comments. But if you are interested in how this entire drama has unfolded and evolved, I’d encourage you to go back and read them.
And now, here is Hood’s letter to me from Death Row:
I thank you my dear friend (Bethie) for all the encouraging words and support. You continue to do for me, although I feel I don’t have to or need to counter the lies, false accusations that are towards me on this site (blog) by these feeble minded individuals. However I tell the truth and wheather [sic] they believe it or not I’m still standing strong and continuing to express my innocence as I have from the day I was falsley [sic] accused and wronfully [sic] convicted.
Foremost I owe a big thanks and much love to the following family and friends and those who wish for me not to mention who have gave love and support all the way.
First to my family, I thank you for continuing to stand by me all these years. My sister-in-law Wendy, boy you are a fighter and I am so glad your on my side and married to my brother. Boy did he get lucky. Thank you so much for your words in defending me. Remember those who aren’t fully educated or have common sense just bumping their gums on this case.
Stephanie little blonde fighter, a woman with much strength and love. I love you deeper than the Sea and Thank God for you. Don’t let this site get you down, You are better than that. You stand firm on your faith and never lost heart.
You know the truth like everyone else who has done any type of investigation concerning this case. So don’t let these lies etc, place doubt in your mind. first thing the devil does is try to mislead you. You a Christian stand on your faith lady, Bethie, Darby, ch, and many other Christian friends who love me and know that this site makes no-sense. I thank yall so much and I continue to pray for you as I know you keep me in your praers [sic]. Thanks I mean that.
NOW!
Jannelle, or what ever your real name is since you repeatedly lied to me more than several times, Ask yourself “Why” would I continue to correspond with you? You FLAT out LIED (like the Prosecution has throughout this entire case/appeal.
I do understand your loss, Tracie your sister I knew very well, a side of her your family probably didn’t know. I’m “NOT” going to sling hurtful comments back – n – forth, but where were you when your sister was sniffing (snorting) cocaine all the time (even being arrested for it in Dallas), or giving her body to a bunch of old men in the V.I.P room for drugs and money? Where were you? Because all the time I knew her, you were nowhere to be found.
Where were you when her exboyfriend threatened to kill her because she dumped him for an old man? I tell you where I was, I went to her apartment with her to get her belongings and see nothing would happen to her. She was doing things you were not aware of. I was her friend, wheather [sic] I was being paid to protect her ot not, we were friends. I thought she was cool, just had put herself in some un wanted positions to make it. How do you think she became to be with Mr. Williamson and me? He took her in, she was a topless dancer, doing drugs, etc. He was trying to get her out of the topless bars and away from drugs.
To me she was someone cool, actually didnt fit in yet did the stuff she could to fit in. I remember her because she made you laugh alot [sic].
I am sorry your sister was murdered by someone, I really am. I will not express remorse because (remorse) is a deep sense of guilt. I DID NOT KILL HER, nor Mr. Williamson.
After all your lies, in your last letter you said that you were a Chrisrian [sic]. Apprently [sic] your personalities fluctuarte [sic]. Don’t be lukewarm, you know what the Bible says about being lukewarm GOD wants us to be cold or hot, not lukewarm.
So! Devote your life to Jesus for no-one can enter into Heaven but through Jesus.
Robbie, who wants me dead. I say GOD bless to you. My England friend expresses you are a pompous ass. I would say you remind me of a verse in (Proverbs 27:15) You sound like and probably look like a contentious woman. However you, I’m not going to pass judgement [sic] upon you because I am a Christian man and it says in (Proverbs 27:19) “As in water face reflects face so the heart of man reflects man.”
I’ll keep you and Jannelle in my prayers. I continue to keep a positive outlook on all things and with that said, I pray and stand firm on my faith. I didn’t do this crime and hope to get a second chance into the court room.
My Attorney asked that I not leak vital information so I’ll only comment on what is out there.
First off people have been a witness to the parade of perjuring in this case. Many lied on the stand, many were told or threatened and told (what to say) beore [sic] entering the court room. Eye witness to this account a Fact!
Seen the Prosecution come out into the hallway and tell them what to say like (Trava D. Henry) my ex girlfriend in 1989. Also (Amy Hartman) the one who repeatedly LIED on the stand, who made five different statements because she couldn’t get her story right, which ended up with help from the DA on what to say, and how to ACT!
But first I want to say that I did NOT RAPE NO-ONE I want to make that absolutely CLEAR!
Trava was my girlfriend, she was 16 and I was 19. We were sexually active together. Not once did I rape her, every time we had sex it was consentual [sic]. NOR did I ever hit/slap her either. (Trial records, 47 SR 1041-42 : 1056-57) However through this appeal the prosecution has repeatedly said I slapped her around. Prosecution continues to lie, mislead the courts, the public, yet they took an Oath to tell the TRUTH, but if you didn’t realize (state Prosecutors and Federal level) have what is called (Immunity) they don’t care if they lie, deceive, or manipulate the jury, or the public. Their asses are covered. Nothing can happen to them.
That’s why the higher courts see so-much misconduct issues by Attorneys therefore the higher courts have to reverse a case. They are so covered, so it doesn’t matter if an innocent man is convicted.
Back to Trava, Yes! I got mad once, I hit the wall, it was because of what happen. You want to know why? I’ve kept this a secret but the truth is [<em>deleted by Robbie, as this is a serious criminal accusation by this condemned murderer against somebody else</em>]. I didn’t force Trava to come to Texas, she wanted to get away from her Dad, and family issues. Her Mother was unstable, she always cut on herself etc. So! She volunteered to come to Texas. We were girlfriend & boyfriend, young and yes perhaps foolish, but how many times do we as teenagers do stupid adolescence things? Alot!
I ask you how can a Prosecutor who could function in normal society – can someone capable of manufacturing a lie of this magnitude blend in with regular people? They lied about what went on between me and Trava, and also mislead another girl. Prosecution knows they lied, do they care? NO. Not one bit. They are not responsible for their wrong doings. The innocent suffer! You don’t have to be guilty to be convicted. Read that again please!
That’s a fact in this Country. I know I am one. Prosecutors all they have to do is convince a jury you may have did it. Not by facts or evidence. You don’t have to watch a Hollywood Movie to see and actor/actress set in the court room, You’ll see some Academy Award winners up front (DA’s) When you have to go with a public defender you already have it stacked against you. And when your defence councel [sic] is full of corruption like my Attorney was going over to the DA’s office giving up the vital information the other attorney was DOING so the prosecution could stay one step ahead of George Parker. Where is the fairness?
I already had to deal with a corrupted Judge and her lead Prosecutor.
Understand You don’t have to be convicted of a crime, or even charged, for Prosecutors to exploit supposition or mere innuendo, to be permitted to put the appearance of wrong doing before a jury.
Ask Mr. Willis, or Kerry Max Cook who were convicted of Prosecutors misconduct but are free now!
Now! (Amy Hartman) a witness for the state, WHO LIED repeatedly, and it doesn’t take a biochemist to figure that out. She lied to me, she told me and my friend (Michael Todd) her date, a witness for the defence [sic], that she was 18. If she was 15 we wouldn’t ever have let her come to the party.
Remember she made five different statements when detectives questioned her about a relationship between us. I only met her once, and she was Todd’s date, NOT mine. They were in the bedroom ALONE, NOT me. When she was cross examined by defence counsel, she could not recall any of her statements.
Her lies were inflaming to the jury, who heard prosecution portray her as an innocent young girl. Full of crap!
Defence counsel laid (FIVE) of her so called statements in front of her, and asked which one was true. (Trial records 49 SR 1231) I did not rape Amy either. She stated that I slapped her and called her a bitch. False! NOT TRUE.
Does that sound familiar? I would think so, it came from the Prosecutions lips at trial and on appeal. She was a promiscuous teenager with a Motive for lying. (Trial records 55 : 1637)
An investigator spoke to the girls best friend and even she stated Mr. Hood didnt rape her, but Amy seeked [sic] attention, and that fueled by what prosecution told her what to say. They had the perfect witness, a LIAR!
I asked the defence to call her best friend for a witness, but my defence was so tainted with corruption, they said no!
I pray Trava & Amy who are adults now will come forward and tell the truth, SOMEDAY!
Prosecutors have engaged in fraud and fraudulent behavier [sic] in this case at any cost.
Why were all the enormous amounts of finger prints throughout the crime scene especially on the safe that was broken into NOT Mr. Hoods on the bedroom safe, but others EVER investgated [sic]? More coverup! Why was there found at the crime scene blood different from Tracie, Mr.Williamson or Mr. Hood?
Why would just these mentioned above be at a crime scene, and dectectives [sic] not investigate? We are talking about a double homocide [sic], yet from the start a cover up began. Why?
Good question you will find out or if people for reasons continue to cover it up so the REAL persons don’t come to justice.
I can’t leak information my Attornes [sic] have so I’ll say this: We have been shown that information was withheld, questionable testimony was used. (flat out lies)
perjury. Circumstantial evidence was questioned. And the prosecutor and Judge’s integrity compromised by their illicit affair (relationship) that was no-secret. My (case) trial was full of corruption, if you don’t agree than put some money $ where your mouth is and hire an investigator like my friends have. Don’t be feeble, mislead and relay just on media or the DA’s office.
Do your own investigation. Do it yourself.
If allowed LIES and insufficient evidence that wasn’t tested be defence or experts not brought in to assist to bring forth the truth, How can you have a fair trial?
I again am sorry for Mr. Williamson and Tracie who were murdered. I did not do it nor did I rape Amy, Trava, nor did I write two bad checks. A handwriting expert analysis would have proved that if I could have had one at trial. You don’t know the truth you keep fueling lies.
I was hired to be a bodyguard to protet [sic] Williamson and Tracie. NOT a lawn boy. He had a lawn service do it. If the defence or DA’s office would have done a proper investigation they would have seen that where I cashed my checks at (Cash Express) in Lewisville Texas that I had been cashing my checks from Mr. Williamson way prior to this crime happening. Checks that were for $400.00 up to $800.00 but no, they didn’t want to bring that up. How about the threating [sic] phone calls that Mr. Williamson recorded and turned over to the Police.
Why wouldn’t the prosecution nor Judge allow the jury to hear them? Who’s voice is on them?
Why wasn’t the hair found under Tracie’s nails examined? Why wasn’t a rape kit performed on her since they found her naked?
Why did her ex boyfriend’s gun .380 come up missing? That is same caliber they were killed with. So! It could be examined. Ask why? Ask why my attornies [sic] told me in private that if I was going to testify, they would walk out of the Court room on me?
Janelle, Robbie and who ever else is on this blog bandwagon, I pray that you open your eyes because you’re being mislead. You don’t know the facts, or the truth yet you carry on like what the Bible says in (2 – Thessalnians 3:11) Don’t be a busy body, or gossipers. You’re going on hearsay – and bad information.
You’ve built your (blog) site on hersay [sic], nothing FACTUAL just alot [sic] of propaganda. You’re PUTTING on a show just like the Prosecution, and it shows forth your true characters.
I have NO animosity towards you. I care less what words you throw at me. I’m a Christian, I can not hurt by it, I just continue to pray for you.
My family and friends I pray that after reading this, you’ll divert your time to way better things than to sit down and log on this site, for once and understand why I care less what people say or think towards me.
People must vent, don’t fret over it. I love you all and please find something better to do than spend time reading what other people say, when it is lies. God Bless You
An Innocent Person!
Charles




BigSis — I’ll post Tracie’s picture with this post as soon as I get it scanned in.
Why do you only mention “Darby” as one of his most ardent supporters and pen pals? He had pen pals a long time before I came into the picture that posted things years before I ever did.
Charles didn’t take Rob’s truck, he took his Cadilac. The letter that he wrote was not addressed to you personally, it was addressed to everyone on this blog. He addressed you in one paragraph. He addressed Bigsis in more of it.
I can see by what you wrote that things have not changed between us and for that, I’m sorry. I wanted us to be able to talk in an adult manner.
Why didn’t you mention KMA above? She has thrown more crap at me and argued more than anyone on here? She loves to call me names and constantly argue with anyone who does not agree with her. Could it be that because she thinks that Charles should die and I don’t is why you didn’t mention her?
I do not believe in the Death Penalty because of Religious reasons. I am a Catholic lady who lives by the Creed. I do not believe in abortion nor assisted suicide either. I used to have a double standard on the death penalty, it was OK for some but not for others.
Since I have studied and had classes in the Catholic Religion and then converted and was baptised Catholic, I know now that it is not right to take a life for a life in ANY circumstances, and my then mixed feelings are not mixed anymore.
If I am thought of as a person who does not understand how the families of Ron and Tracie feel, I am sorry for that. I do understand how they feel and have expressed that to Bigsis.
If people think that I’m a bad person for writing to him and think that because I do, I proclaim his innocence, then that is just plain sad. . . . Darby
Darby,
I was raised in the catholic faith, talk about double standards! Organized religion is a bunch of whoha in my book. They depend on the parishioners to pick up the tab… while they live tax free, how about all the molestation that goes on? I don’t mean to be disrespectful but I think you’ve been brainwashed. I carry a higher power within my heart and soul, I belive when things get to be too much my higher power carries me thru it. I do not need a “place” to worship.
You say you don’t believe in abortion or assisted suicide…. I have worked in the medical field for over 20 years and have had patients beg to end their suffering, to go to a better place where there is no more suffering,,,,,, how about the young woman/girl who is pregnant with a child produced from a rape,or molestation, or the child within is found to be brain damaged or worse born with defects that would suffer the insults of those who are ignorant. There are options for those who are born whole…. I am a firm believer in adoption when the child is born to unfortunate circumstances, I have a very good friend who will never be able to have children and who is wanting a child to love and care for.
Mr. Williamsons name is RON, not Rob, and yes it was his cadillac elante that was taken.
KMA isn’t the only one who wants to see Dean die, remember I too want that. This thread was started only 2 years ago, he indeed may have had pen pals before that, but you are the one who has commented more than anyone else in his defense.
Oh and a rape test was done on my sister and it was negative, my sister always slept in the nude, just as I do, no big deal.
The previous postings made by “his supporters” where just off the wall and had no clue. Any questions I had asked Dean, were never really answered, only that he was convicted of murdering his boss and girlfriend.
In the previous thread James Hood makes mention of 2 people who would get their justice in front of “God” . Then why would someone not say so if in fact it was the truth.
Did you ask Dean about the “concerned citizen” letter?
You never answered my question as to what your PHD is in.
Your expressed sympathy at our loss is appreciated and acknowledged.
Tell Dean he doesn’t need to pray for me… I do not need or want his prayers, but he should pray to “God” for forgivness and for his own soul.
You know what it’s funny we euthanize(kill) animals when they are suffering, or harm us, what makes Dean any different, just because he is human…… Doesn’t “Thou shall not kill” refer to all life, or just humans? Did God not create all life, not just human?
Where did you get those statistics on the cost of an execution?
I am not argueing or hollering at you just voicing my opinons/thoughts.
Hey there Bigsis,
Well….I will try to respond to your comments. First of all, when my sister had her first stroke and couldn’t work and didn’t have the money to pay her car payment, our Church paid not only her car payment but her house payment as well. When I went to the Church to pay them back, our Priest would not take the money from me. I in turn donated a large sum of money to the Church. They have never asked us for a dime although during Mass they have a collection plate. They have to keep the schools opened and the teachers paid.
The Catholic’s are not just living tax free. They have Catholic Social Services not only to serve Catholic’s, but help anyone of any faith.
Someone has to pay for the upkeep of these services and the countless other services that they do like feeding the poor and homeless, donating toys and food for low income people at Christmas and other times, their soup kitchens etc. Do you know that you could walk into a Catholic Church where you live and get money from them or food? If they can’t help you, they will find someone who can.
As far as the molestations, that happens in every Religion but when a Catholic does it, it makes the news. I think that they should lock away those priests and throw away the key but that does not stop me from believing in the Religion. Not all Priests are bad. A few bad apples can and should not spoil the whole bunch.
As far as not believing in abortion or assisted suicides, I don’t. Every person has a right to live even if they are disabled or conceived by someone who didn’t want them. There is no reason to get pregnant these days when there is a drug store on every corner. The exception would be rape.
Assisted Suicide? You say you believe in a higher power, so that you know already that God would never give a single soul any more pain than they can take. When a person has had enough, God will ease their suffering and take them to Paradise where there is no more pain. Even if you are on a vent, God will take you when he is ready. A vent can not keep you here if he wants you home. Many people die on life support.
That was a typo about Ron’s name. Oops, I know his name and I’m sorry about the error. (the B and the N are right next to each other on the keboard)
Yes, I did write Charles about the “Concerned Citizen letter” in my last letter to him. I have not received a letter yet and nothing came today so perhaps I will get one tomorrow. I will let you know what he says about that, if anything.
I’m not sure that when God said “Thou shalt not kill” he meant animals too. I think it’s a sin to kill any human being. It does say in Matthew 5:38-39 “Ye have heard that it hath been said and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but I say unto you That ye resist not evil, but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also”
and (just one more) Matthew 5:43-45 “Ye have heard that it hath been said Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy, But I say unto you, Love your enemies. Bless them that curse you. Do good to them that hate you and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you that ye may be the children of your Father which is in Heaven for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust, that if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye?”
I guess that’s why I don’t believe in an eye for an eye. NO, I don’t know those verses by heart, I had to look them up. :0)
Matthew happens to be my favorite so I knew where to look.
Thank you for acknowledging my Sympathies.
I got the stats from Dogpile.com Go there and type in “Cost of Execution” and then go to “The high cost of the Death Penalty”
There are other sites and I actually didn’t find it there, but can’t find the other one that tells me between 3 and 5 million. The site that I just gave you says 2.3 million per execution in Texas. It’s long so you have to either read it all or go down to Texas. Acctually if you have time, you should read it all as it is very interesting.
Lastly, I KNOW you are not arguing with me. I think it’s great that you can share with me your true feelings and I can do the same without arguing. At times I know it may seem that we both say things in a way that looks like arguing, but I AM smart enough to know the difference. AND…If you want to yell at me go right ahead and yell.
I can take it and not hold a grudge. After all, listening is one of the things that I do best.
I must go back to the remark about KMA. I only said that to Robbie because he wrote “Hoods supporters and pen pals” (Darby) Did I say that I supported him? You can sit down and write a letter to the Devil and that does not mean that you support him. I guess you could classify me as a pen pal. We do write to each other. The only reason I commented in his defence was because of what she was saying. The story that she told about the pre meditated murders didn’t make any sense and could not have happened the way she said it did.
Can I ask you 2 questions? Did you attend the trial? Did you bring Tracie back home to bury her? Just wondering.
I found Trava and Amy in Texas and got their phone numbers. One of them still lives in Plano. I would never call either of them, I just wanted to know if they were still around. Take care….Darby
The story that she told about the pre meditated murders didn’t make any sense and could not have happened the way she said it did.
You and the multiple murderer are the ones telling stories. I related adjudicated facts from the numerous court opinions to counter your lies. It makes absolute sense to anyone with a brain.
Darby, that was nice of you to post that letter for Dean. However, I cannot quite figure you out. One minute you act like a friend to him then the next you are refering to him as the devil. Everyone is sad about the death of Tracie and Ron you would not be human if you weren’t. It is a horrible thing to have happen. Bigsis you said in a previous note on the blog that you had your doubts. I beleive you keep using this blog because you really do not know what happened to your sister as I suspect noone will. A few things to you to ponder over that is a few reasons why I fill in my heart that Dean is innocent and this is the honest truth you can curse me all you want but this is what I know.
1. If Dean did kill Tracie and Ron first off Tracie was shot behind the ear correct? I am not a crime investegator by any means but with him being within close proximity to your sister and head wounds being very bloody he had to have a huge portion of her blood on him. If Ron came home like the story goes than wouldn’t he have seen Dean with that blood on him?
2. If there was a letter on the table saying whatever it said and Tracie’s name spelled wrong on there than here is a question for you (If you know that your girlfriends normally sleeping at this time and you beleive something happened to her would you not go atleast back to her bedroom to see what was going on?) If he would of he would of more than likely seen blood. And questioned Dean if he was there.
3. If Dean in fact killed your sister and Ron showed up than why in the world would he let Ron call the police if he was going to kill Ron he would of done it before he called the police don’t you think?
I will tell you why this does not make sense to anyone because that is not what happened.
I will tell you exactly what happened and we have had countless conversations with Dean along with others about this. This is how I beleive and will always beleive this happened and no this does not come from Dean but I know people who know people that do research for me. The sad part is noone will fess up that know the truth.
You remember Dwayne Matthews and two other guys that we do not know but Dwayne knows? They came up with an idea to rob Ron’s house. When they were robbing the house Dean walked in on it. Tracy and Ron were being murdered. I will be the first to admit that when Dean was younger he did not have good judgement because of horrific experiences he had been through. The guys were threatening Dean with a gun as well to kill him. They made him touch and do certain things in that house to make sure that the finger wouldn’t point at them.
The only thing I have not figured out is whether the guys put the jewelry and the gun of Dean’s that they were stealing from the house in the car before or after this happened. I do know that Dean was scared to death and ran out of there when he could and the only vehicle he could get in was Ron’s to leave. After they made him do all those things he knew that he was going to be in trouble so he fled to the only person he trusted back in Indiana to help him sort it out. If anyone on this blog was put in this position they would do the exact same thing (be scared out of there mind) Dean had a disadvantage he didn’t know what to do so he went and cashed his check and went to Indiana. He did not kill them and hopefully the truth will come out.
The letter that went to the “DA’s” office that came from the girlfriend of one of the two unknown people with Dwayne. She has talked to the family before but cannot come forward because she is scared for her life. Her boyfriend told her that there is an innocent man setting on death row for what he did.
Here is something else to ponder did you ever know that Dwayne shaved his head bald after the murders because it was his hair underneath Tracie’s nails and thought if he did that they could not prove it. Also did you know that he went up to the jail right after Dean was put in and threatened him that if he said anything that he would kill his family one by one.
My husband along with his sister went to Texas a long while back when this first happened to talk to Dwayne to turn himself in and when he opened the door wouldn’t you know that two men got up off the couch and ran out the back door. To this day my husband beleives that was the other two men. My husband just last week wanted to go to Texas and talk to Dwayne again because Dwayne has told Dean’s family in the past that one of the guys was going to come forward it was just not the right time to do it. My husband was hoping to persuade them.
Everyone on this site makes my husband look like a bad person how is he a bad person for loving his brother. There is not a day that goes by that my husband doesn’t think of this and miss his brother. We know that Charles did not do this, you can think what you will but hopefully the real truth will come out ones of these days and we can all lay Tracie and Ron to rest peacefully and with dignity like everyone deserves.
Bigsis, it took me awhile to decide whether to tell you this or not and I still know more but cannot say it as I am scared because I have a beautiful family I need to protect to and it scares me and my husband that if we dig to far that we could be putting our family at risk. However, I thought you deserved to know this. I know it cannot be easy losing your sister however, I thought if you knew atleast some of the truth it would set your mind at ease.
I really do hope the whole truth will come out.
Yet another ‘+’ point for your wonderful system of killing people – you allow them to have penpals before they die!
And I guess the paper, pens and postage is all paid for by the taxpayer as well?
This really is something else!
I’m beginning to think YOUR support of the death penalty is more left wing than my idea of making them pay the debt off to society!
Are you guys really democrats in disguise?
Jonny
Wendy, I did not call Charles the Devil! Please go back and read it again. I never gave my opinion on here one way or the other, but have stuck up for him, and simply said that someone could write to the Devil and not support him, meaning the Devil and NOT Charles. I absolutely do not think of him as a Devil. I have written to him 3 times in a week and when he asked me to write in his words, I didn’t mind at all. He addressed you in the letter and he thinks the world of you. He sent me a picture of him with your husband which I have.
I hope you know that you are going to get blasted from someone in here. If you read above, you will see who. She quoted me and threw me a cheap shot again, but I ignored it as I will each and every time she decides to sling crap at me.
Were you at the trial? So far, I have not talked to one person who actually attended the trial itself. I have asked Bigsis just today and am waiting for an answer from her as to wheather she was there or not.
Charles sent me a letter from the paralegal in his murder trial and I’m sure you know about it, but I will not mention what it said in this blog. I feel it is private and he just wanted me to read it and send it back to him which I will do. He asked me NOT to write it down in here nor the article that he sent me to read.
Some of your questions are the very questions that I asked at one time in here. I wondered how Charles could have killed Tracie, wrap her up in plastic and toss her in a closet, then be in the room when Ron came in with blood on his hands or all over him and then NOT kill him before he called 911? It does not make sense. If he planned on killing Ron, why didnt he have the gun in his hand as Ron was calling 911?
Now, Like I said in previous comments…If Charles was hiding somewhere waiting to kill Ron, then how could it be that his voice was heard on the 911 tape in the background? He must have had the gun in his hand but the records show that when Ron made that call to 911, he didn’t sound frantic or under duress, so I have to believe that at that time, he didn’t suspect Charles and didn’t even know that Tracie was dead in the closet. He called 911 to report that he felt that Tracie was abducted because he found the note with her name spelled wrong.
That story does not make any sense at all. I’m trying to figure it out and have been doing “research” on court records to try to piece it together. I want to know what happened on November 1,1989 and it’s hell trying to get the actual court documents on the trial. I got the appeal, but what I want is the transcript on the trial itself. This case is facinating to me because even though he was convicted and sentenced to death, I want to know how the pieces fit together. I think he deserves to have his appeal heard and made no secret of that.
If there is a question at all, it needs to be addressed and questions answered. I have read the entire blog and have seen your comments and your husbands and everyone’s for that matter. I then put in my comments and they were not accepted very kindly. Tracie’s sister and I are now talking nice and I have expressed to her how I feel and she understands as do I how she feels.
I wrote to Charles and told him that he has to understand how she feels. She lost her sister to a Homocide and he was the one arrested and convicted for it, so of course she wants him to pay for it.
If there was a way to get your email address, I would discuss with you other things that I can not say in here. I’m sorry that you took what I said the wrong way as I hate no one and Charles and I do respect one another. I have stated that in here too.
One thing that you mentioned, You said that Charles came in the house as Tracie and Ron were being murdered, and they made him touch things to put his prints on them, but it couldn’t have happened that way because Tracie was killed in the bedroom and Ron came in and saw the note and then called Police to report that she had been abducted. If there were men in the house killing him, he could not have called 911. But after he did call Police and then was killed, that would have only given them 4 minutes to make charles touch the places where they found the prints and there just wasn’t enough time for all that.
Of course we don’t know if Ron was driving his truck or his Car that day and I have to wonder why the robbers would put the stolen goods in the car unless they were planning on stealing it and Charles took it before they could. AND if Charles saw them as they were making him touch things, he would have been able to identify them unless they had coverings over their faces. Of course if he was that scared and knew that he was in trouble I guess he wouldn’t have time to think at all.
This is quite the puzzle, but as I said I will piece it together because I want to. I don’t want to see anyone die if there are questions as to his guilt. There seem to be questions about the penalty phase and the jury instructions that are on appeal, and I hope that he wins his appeal and that every question will be answered so that this can be settled once and for all.
I never said he did it, or he didn’t do it in any of my comments on here but I did question the whole trial because from what I have read about the Judge and lead Attorney, and the evidence and his Attorney, and have recently talked to someone in Texas that I can not name in here, yes I had plenty of questions.
I just wish that we could talk privately because you may know things that I know that are not in this blog and I do not feel comfortable writing them on here. Every time I comment on here, a certain individual has nothing better to do with her time than to write simple comments back and ridicule me. Who knows, If I ignore it, maybe it will go away…. I hope to hear from you again….Darby
Jon, I pay for my own postage to have a pen pal, and I suppose that he has family and friends that send him money for stamps, paper, and pens.
I am a taxpayer but not in Texas. I pay taxes in Michigan for murderers to live in Prison and I don’t mind. Better to have them in there rather than out in the streets selling drugs, murdering, molesting children and being a threat to society.
You know what Jon? They are people, human beings and have very little rights in Prison and writing a letter to someone is one of the rights that they do have. So, What’s your beef??? PS. I do NOT support the death penalty….
Okay, if someone else did it like you said, if Dwayne and who ever else was holding a gun to Dean’s head, why did he not say so? I know I would be jumping up and down, I would not pay for someone elses doing if I knew who in the Hell did it.
So what if they have very little rights, they took innocent lives! They have no rights at all, no voice, and they boo hoo about having little or no rights…… they are lucky they have what they have because the VICTIMS have none.
I have a brother in prison, he too killed a man in a fight, he is where he belongs, he can not live in society, and Dean should not live in society either, he is a sociopath!
As for his appeal….. go ahead, I feel it will not change anything. If by chance it did change to a life sentence they had better make it without parole, any parole meeting that takes place I will be there to argue on behalf of my sister, and my family.
I am truly sorry what Wendy and her family have had to endure, it certainly can’t be easy for them. I totally understand.
Darby, Dean said something about not being lukewarm, I am not, I am passionate in what ever I do.
I still want to know what your PHd is in. Will you please answer my question.
You know they say not to talk religion or politics, and I think we all have are own beliefs and should keep them to ourselves, this is not a religious matter and shouldn’t play any part in this conversation, this is a LEGAL matter that we are all debating.
Wendy if it caused Dean to be innocent…. why would you not dig deeper…….. there is protection, by the very system you question, they are there to PROTECT us all.
If there is any comments you wish to make privately you can send those comments to:

Have a good day everyone………
Cost per execution for drugs used : $86.08
Bigsis, I know how much it costs for the drugs. It is all the appeals that a death row inmate gets that cost the state and taxpayers so much money so that by the time all their appeals are exhausted the state has had to pay for Attorneys, Judges, Court costs, etc. for many years.
If they get a sentence of life without parole it’s much cheaper to keep them in Prison. The cost of the Death Penalty procedure is enormous compared to the cost of confining them for life. I have to run, will get back to you today….Darby
The cost of appeal of a life sentence is the same as a death sentence.
OH, I did bring my sisters body home, I made the furneral arrangements, I buried my baby sister, as my mother was devistated by her murder. I am the “Rock” in my family, always have always will. I am a strong and very independant woman. I make no excuses when I am wrong, just because of past history. One cannot blame others for their mistakes, unless you are a totally mentally handicapped, one knows right from wrong. I WILL NEVER ACCEPT EXCUSES FOR ONES BEHAVIOR, NOT EVEN MY OWN. WHEN YOU MAKE AN ERROR IN LIFE ONE MUST MAKE AMENDS FOR WHAT ONE DID.
Not to be one sided, but KMA is correct whether you are appealing a death sentence or a life sentence it still costs the same.
Depending on when they were sentenced a “life” sentence could be 15 yrs, 20, 30, 40 years with time for good behavior. I really wouldn’t want a sociopath running around to kill, maim another innocent person, would you? I will fight to the very end to keep him right where he is at if that is what would be decided……. but then I highly doubt that it would happen.
Texas cost an average of 3.2 millin PER execution which is three times more than life without parole.
“The Death Penalty is much more expensive than life without parole because the constitution requires a long and complex Judicial process for capital cases.
Ths process is needed in order to ensure that innocent men and women are not executed for crimes they did not commit, and even with these protections the risk of executing an innocent person can not be completel eliminated.
IF
The appellate process for a capital case is the same for a non capital case. The only difference is that there is a penalty phase, which is also subject to appellate review. Regardless, we don’t put a price on justice for murder victims.
Oops, didn’t get to finish so will start over.
Texas cost an average of 3.2 million PER execution which is three times more than life without parole.
“The death penalty is much more expensive than life without parole because the constitution requires a long and complex judicial process for capital cases.
This process is needed in order to ensure that innocent men and women are not executed for crimes they did not commit, and even with these protections the risk of executing an innocent person can not be completely eliminated.
If the death penalty was replaced with a sentence of life without parole, which costs millions less, and also ensures that the public is protected while eliminating the risk of an irreversible mistake, the money saved could be spent on programs that actually improve the communities in which we live.
The millions of dollars in savings could be spent on education, roads, police officers and public safety programs, after-school programs, drug and alcohol treatment, child abuse prevention programs, mental health sevices for crime victims and their families.
The study concludes that the enhanced cost of trying a death penalty case is at least $1.2 mllion more than trying a comparable murder case resulting in a sentence of life in prison without parole.”
David Erickson
Masters thesis – Berkley Graduate Library
Bigsis, I hope that this article answers any questions about the cost of an execution in Texas. . I have another appointment so I’m off again. I will talk to you soon….Darby
The appellate process for a capital case is the same for a non capital case. The only difference is that there is a penalty phase, which is also subject to appellate review. Regardless, we don’t put a price on justice for murder victims.
You can not put a price on Murdered victims….. so does it really matter, that we all including myself, discuss the cost of execution, Justice is priceless.
I stopped reading when I got to the part about the Judge, Prosecutor, etc., etc., etc. being corrupt.
Yeah, buddy.
Burn in hell.
How about a copy of your “Masters thesis” so I can wipe my ass with it.
Liberal coward/scum.
Ericson, Apprently you don’t know how to or chose not to read above the “Masters Thesis” It clearly states WHO wrote it and where it came from. Why ask me to send it to you? Do your own reasearch like I did and copy it if you want a copy. Ho hum, another name caller.
Bigsis, I notice in here that when someone calls me names or throws a cheap shot at me, you never come to my defence. Yet you came to KMA’s when I said that the cost was cheaper even in the appeals cases. She was WRONG, it it NOT the same. I posted you a letter that I just got clobbered for, telling you the facts. Those figures are all over the internet. The thing that bothers me is that you don’t even know her.
Though we do not agree on the death sentence, I didn’t deserve all the name calling and childish things she has said. I am totally outnumbered in here because I have yet to see one person that does not support the death penalty, besides Charles’s family.
You say that your brother killed someone and is in jail. Do you want him to die? Isn’t it enough for you that he will never get out of Prison to be able to do it again? If he is in Michigan or where ever he is , I don’t give a hoot if he writes to anybody and do not want him executed. What do you think about the Family of the person he killed?
You can absolutely understand Wendy and her feelings because you not only have had someone close to you murdered, you also have a murderer in your family. I feel so very bad for you for having had to endure two devastating distasters in one life time.
All I ever want is for anyone who is arrested for ANY crime get a fair and just trial, and then a fair and just punishment.
Charles Manson is a murderer and a fruit loop and was given the death sentence. Later when they abolished the death penaty, his sentence was communted to a life sentence in California WITH the possibility of parole. Every two years they deny him parole and I am confident that he will never get out.
My point is, so what if Charles Manson didn’t get executed, he is NOT going anywhere and the families need not worry about him. We do NOT need to execute someone to get justice. It matters not wheather they are executed or live out their lives in Prison, neither of these punishments will EVER bring back the person they murdered or change the lives of those left behind.
Hang in there Bigsis and stay strong. The best for you is yet to come.
Blessings, Darby
Whew I thought this was a forum to talk about the death penalty and for the families of the victims in this case. It now looks to me like a “Darby bashing party” I read the letter from this Charles Hood guy and it looks to me like it wouldn’t be here if not for her. Since when is it a crime to write to someone on death row?
It’s her business who she writes to and none of yours.
Darby, I too am against the death penalty, so you are not alone in here. You seem very smart and right on target. I stumbled in here by accident, well actually the other site and then clicked in this one, and so I read all. I am intrigued by you and would love to know what your PHD is in, and if you think your pen pal is guilty or innocent.
What I know about this case is what I read in here and nothing more. You know what? I would not even give your information in this place. It’s none of these idiots or my business what you do for a living, but whatever it is, I’m sure that you excell in it.
As for KMA, Haha I saw that Darby said that she will not respond to your immature remarks but guess what? I can and I think you are a blumbering ass hole with a low IQ . How the hell would you know how the victims families of Sharon Tate feel? Do you know everyone in the entire United States and their feelings? Me thinks not. But, stupid is as stupid does. As for Ericson, you are an ass hole too. and a pitiful one at that. As for Blech, you can join the bandwagon with them and Jonny boy too.
I don’t like killers and think they should rot in jail but I don’t think that anyne has the right to murder a murderer.
I may not agree with every little thing you said in here Darby, but you said it well, and I respect you for at least trying to soul search and come to a decision and not be satisfied with the mumblings from this prejudice group. You owe no one in here a damn thing and do not need to make excuses for writing to this guy.
I am sorry for you Big Sis and for the Hoods as well. I’m done but now that I have seen this blog place, who knows I may even come back.
Hey Darby,
I don’t have any beef – i’m just putting my opinion forward.
I’m not in favour of the death penalty, but I am certainly against the amount of love and admiration some people give to these criminals.
You say they are human? Well, I think they gave up a vast amount of their entitlement to human rights when they took the lives of those who had no choice in the matter.
Being able to kill someone and then sit in a cell writing letters for 10 years before you get killed yourself doesn’t really sound like a suitable punishment to me.
They should be set to work, paying off their debt to society. I begrudge paying any taxes that go toward the upkeep of a murderer.
They shouldn’t be allowed to communicate with the outside world in my opinion – and I don’t think you are doing yourself any favours in using them as pen-pals!
Jonny
All right, already! Cheese and rice, I am asking everyone to act like adults when we “speak” to one another. We are all entitled to our opinions, they are just that “our opinions” Not everyone will agree with what is being said. I have my opinions on this everyone knows how I feel about it. I too am/was guilty of name calling, but it does nothing but heat up the arguement and cause resentment.
Darby,
If you wish to speak to me personally… I left my email addy here. In fact if ANY of you want to tell me something personally feel free to write.
Just know this: I cannot forget… and have a very hard time forgiving any wrong doing. Sometimes I cannot forgive at all, this is one of those times.
Okay, we are entitled to our opinions but not to make things up. When I said we are entitled to our opinions, I was refering to how we feel about the DP is all.
I stand firm in my feelings about the DP. I am pro. I can not be persuded otherwise on the DP or the Guilt of Dean.
Is that a joke? Or are you really that stupid?
Jonny
I have read on this blog that Charles is mentally retarded from brain damage, when run over by a truck when he was a boy, also someone mentioned that he can not even recite the alphabet from A – Z.
When I read his letter, posted on this site, it clearly shows that he seems quite normal, unless someone else wrote it !
So much for that arguement.
Big Sis, you stand behind your feelings, hopefully justice will be served, it’s just a question of how long it will take. In the meantime there are a lot of people who support you.
Take good care of yourself.
Ron
Tom Workman, Thank you so much for your words. I appreciate the fact that you took time to write in my defence. You as well, are intriging.
I think you are right on something you said. If I say what my PHD is in, I will be called a liar. If I don’t say what my PHD is in, I will be called a liar. It’s a no win situation. Therefore I will take your advice and choose not to bring my career into this blog. What I do for a living has little to do with this particular case and the only reason I even mentioned it was because I was called stupid along with other things and got mad because I spent too long and worked too hard to get where I am and am nobody’s chump. Sorry I even brought it up.
Do I have an opinion as to wheather he is guilty or innocent? YES I DO but again, I am not going to post it in here. Charles knows how I feel about his trial and the murders, but here’s the thing, I do NOT support the death penalty and never will no matter what I think about his guilt or innocence.
According to someone in here, the debate is if you support the death penalty and not about who did or didn’t do it. An opinion is just that, an opinion. It’s NOT a lie. How can the way you feel about something be a lie??
Jonny, You say that people on death row or even in jail for that matter should not be able to have contact with the outside world. Why not? Does it bother you that much that someone in Prison is allowed to write a letter in their cells? Remember that people on death row are not allowed out of their cells 23 hours out of 24. They are not allowed to work off their sentence so what the hay if all they do is sit there and write. I really don’t care what they do in their cell for 23 hours a day.
I already know the argument about the victims. Their rights were taken away from them and they can not have contact with anyone anymore so what’s good for the goose should be good for the gander.
I’m sorry but I really truly don’t care if someone in Prison writes a letter! The expense to the taxpayers is not the cost of an envelope, stamp and paper.
What about the families? You say that too many people show love for someone on death row. Because someone commited a crime, does not mean that their Mother, Father, or anyone should stop loving them. Have you heard the saying “No matter what the crime, this child is mine”
I will take your advice about the dangers of writing to people on death row under advisement. Just for the record, I have never ever written to anyone on death row before and never will again.
Ron, The letter was indeed written by Charles Dean Hood and sent to me, Darby to post on this blog. He asked me to type it in here and not edit even one word of it so I did just that after asking permission first.
Bigsis, You are absolutely right about the name calling. It’s a very immature thing to do and does nothing to inhance this blog. It simply needs to stop.
Well, I think that I addressed the people that addressed me. You still have and will always have my sympathy for your loss.
I saw today that Charles Manson was denied Parole again yesterday and is not elegible again for 5 more years. He’s like 72 years old or something and maybe he will die before the five years are up from some devastating disease. THAT, I wouldn’t mind.
Take care….Darby
Good Day Everyone,
I have one thing to say to everyone: Remember our military forces this weekend for the sacrifices they have made for us, so that we may enjoy and appreciate the freedom and priviledges. This is a weekend to be thankful.
Take care, Peace
Is that a joke? Or are you really that stupid?
None of your taxes goes to support anyone in US prisons. So, stop misrepresenting that they do in a cheap attempt to bolster your lame argument.
Ron: He’s no rocket scientist, but he is not retarded. It’s another big lie spread by the anti-dp crowd. While he was hit by a truck, the injuries were to his back and leg. He suffered no head injury.
Bigsis, Happy Memorial Day to you and to all. You reminded me that I have to post the poem that I wrote for the Military. Thank you!
This is a time to remember our Military and pray that they stay safe and come home as soon as possible. They are all hero’s. I write for the Military all the time and they are sent to Iraq and other places so that they know we still love and respect their brave efforts to keep us safe.
I have a nephew in Iraq now in the Army and lost a friend to a sniper bullit in Iraq last year. He was so proud to serve and joined for that purpose. He knew the risks but chose to defend his Country. I am proud that I knew him and that he gave his life for his Country.
I hope that each and every one of you has a safe and great Memorial day! It’s supposed to rain in Michigan the whole weekend Bigsis, so we may have to have our first barbecue inside instead of out. That sucks, since I haven’t had time to put up my patio cover yet and probably won’t.
Oh well, Memorial day is about remembering our Military anyway so what difference does it make how we eat dinner! Put your flags out and show your support everyone! Talk to you soon….Darby
Darby,
My brother who is in prison, has and always will be a habitual offender, He killed a guy in a bar fight over a flipping pool game! He has had opportunity to “straighten” his life around, many of them, As far as I am concerned he is dead. To my mother, Dean is dead, she knows he will NEVER GET OUT. I on the other hand feel differently about the whole situation, as we all know.
If my brother had been executed alot of other people would not have fallen victim to him and been hurt, including myself, I found when you try and help or stick up for people like my brother and Dean you end up getting screwed, without any lube! THAT MAKES ME REALLY PISSED OFF, as it would make any one.
I can only imagin that the family of the man my brother killed must have felt. I feel an eye for an eye is appropiate, though someone said i think an eye for an eye leaves us blind, no I can still see out of the other one! HA HA HA. sorry just being a smartie pants.
I am sorry I didn’t respond to your earlier statement.
You know you can always send me a personal e-mail if there is something you wish to talk about without getting whammied.
take care,
I would like to address inmates being able to write to pen pals….. I don’t have a problem with them writing, it is WHAT they write….. I feel they may and sometimes do take advantage of the people they write to. That is the only thing that gets me…. but then most who write are lonely. I am not by any means saying that DARBY is a lonely person! I wrote to Dean under an alias, I was curious as to what he would say, and felt he wouldn’t write to me as Tracie’s big sister, I hope he will not hold it against me, and shouldn’t if he is truely a christian.
Darby,,,,, have you received any mail from Dean? I hope you told him what I had written before and again restated about me “lieing” about who I was.
Bibsis, Geez…I just wrote you a letter and then got kicked off so I lost it. I hate when that happens!!
OK….I was not ignoring you, I got home very late and started a letter and fell asleep in my chair so of course I lost that one too. I’m off today! (so far) and have the whole day to myself. I was going to do some gardening but it’s raining and 63 degrees here where just two days ago it was 90 and I had to put my air on. You, being from Michigan know the saying “Michigan Weather”
I am staying put in the house and won’t even get dressed if I don’t want to. I’m going to watch TV and stay online.
I appreciate you giving me your personal email addy as I do tend to get whammied in here. By the way great word!!
If I do write to you personally, I need your word that you will not give out or post my email address in this blog. I hate – hate mail but the good thing is that I can report it and put it on my ignore list so I don’t get any more.
I know that Charles will not hold anthing against you as he appears to be and states to me that he is indeed a Christian. If he prays for those who want him dead, he will certainly forgive a nasty letter.
The first letter that I wrote to him was mean and cruel. I asked him what it felt like to kill, how did it feel to know the day he was going to die because most of us just have to wait and see. He wrote me back and told me that he wished nobody in his shoes BUT ME.
I had to laugh at that remark until I reolized that this guy was going to be executed and that he was indeed a human being. I wrote him back not even knowing that he would get it before he was executed but praying that he would. He wrote me and told me that he had already forgiven me before he got my letter. He then wrote to me to tell me that he got a stay.
I’m sure that he has that first letter that I wrote to him. I have his but I have another home in Brighton if you know where that is and that’s where it is.
I did write down what you said and quoted it to him in a letter that I sent to him last week. I wrote him another one and it was mailed this morning. My mail has not come yet so I am hoping that I get one today, if not then no more mail until Tuesday.
I would like to address Ron: According to an article written by Alan Berlow on June 24, 2005, Charles did indeed sustain a tramutic head injury as a younster. The article is called Ardor in the Court and it is a very interesting article that you should read, as should everyone if you haven’t already.
Keep in touch Bigsis….Darby
Lies, lies, and more lies:
Hood’s hospital records which document the injuries he received from the septic truck, make clear, however, that he suffered no head injury. (Hood v. Dretke (5th Cir. 2004) No. 00-41272, 93 Fed. Appx. 665, slip opn. pp. 8-9.)
Ron: If you would like to read the article written by Alan Berlow on June 25, 2005 about Charles Hood’s case …. go to DOGPILE: then go to Charles Dean Hood, then find “Ardor in the Court.”
You can find in the court records: Charles Dean Hood vs. Janie Cockrel, director, Texas department of Criminal Justice, Instititutional Division. Appeal from the United States District court for the Eastern District of Texas ( 4:99 – ev – 109) which CLEARLY states that Charles did indeed suffer brain damage from being hit by a car when he was 3 years old. If anyone can show me the hospital records that say different from what the court records say, please forward an address that I can search. Later….Darby
Yawn. The source of that evidence came from his mother.
However, when your loverboy appealed the USDC ruling to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, they noted that it was not supported by his medical records.
Let me repeat their findings: Hood’s hospital records which document the injuries he received from the septic truck, make clear, however, that he suffered no head injury. (Hood v. Dretke (5th Cir. 2004) No. 00-41272, 93 Fed. Appx. 665, slip opn. pp. 8-9.)
Keep reading it, dorky. Eventually, it will sink in.
Bigsis, I know that you requested everyone in here to please STOP the name calling and act like adults, but apprently KMA has very little respect for you to keep it up anyway.
The court documents that I read say nothing about his Mother’s opinion and are written as facts. There is no such site as Hood v. Dretke in the 5th curcuit court that I can find. Since she has no Hospital records as to his injuries, I choose to believe what the court records say about that.
I did not get a letter today from Charles so I guess we will have to wait until Tuesday to see if I get one. I’m sure one is on the way.
Take care….Darby
One, Robbie calls the shots here, dorky.
Two, let me repeat it for the third time: “Hood’s hospital records which document the injuries he received from the septic truck, make clear, however, that he suffered no head injury.” (Hood v. Dretke (5th Cir. 2004) No. 00-41272, 93 Fed. Appx. 665, slip opn. pp. 8-9.)
That’s a quote, dorky. And from a higher court than the usdc.
Darby, I promise I will not devulge your address if you write to me personally.
There are things that one has control over and things one doesn’t and one has to know the difference between the two. You are doing okay by just ignoring it. I feel that KMA is entitled to her/his feelings and has a right to voice it, I NEVER LIKED NAME CALLING PERIOD. I lived with a man who used to call me names everyday, I tried to ignore it, talk to him about it, he didn’t listen so I moved away, we are just friends now and has more respect for me, but I would never go back as his significant other.
I liked the use of the word “whammied”! I think we all get “whammied” sometime in our lives.
Take care, hope to hear back soon
You know what I don’t like? PEOPLE WHO REPEATEDLY LIE AND MISREPRESENT FACTS AND THE LAW IN ORDER TO FREE A MULTIPLE MURDERER FROM DEATH ROW. It’s your business if you want to kanoodle with the woman who kanoodles with the murderer of your sister and Ron Williamson. Me — I wouldn’t touch her with a ten foot pole.
Anonymous, Thank you for writing and I appreciate your words. I agree that she has the right to state her opinions as does everyone else in here, but it is the WAY she states it that is so childish.
She has selective reading ability and only quotes what is convienent for her to “whammie” someone with, ie: Me. She fails to read the rest of what one says so attacks selectively
Robbie allowed the letter from Charles in here as a favor to his friend, Bigsis. I’m sure he would agree that when she asked everyone to stop the childish remarks and name calling, people should respect her on that. I noticed that Robbie took some of KMA’s remarks out of here so he is showing respect for Bigsis unless he did it for other reasons.
KMA however is not. In her opinion, if Robbie doesn’t care, it shouldn’t matter what Bigsis thinks. Bigsis is the one that this blog was set up for and the other family members that were murdered as a place to vent. Unless KMA is a relative of one of the victims, she should cease and desist her name calling an immaturity.
I invite you to go to Hood v. Dretke in the 5th curcuit court and you will find what I found, a site for cars.
If you type in Hood v. Dretke 5th cir. court 2004 No 00-41272, 93 Fed, Appx, 665, slip opn. pp, 8-9, you get “Directory: Rss: UrbanGrounds by Robbie Cooper ” with comments on Kathy Henderson who is also on death row, and other comments on other subjects as well as comments written in here. NOWHERE in there is anything about any court finding that Charles did not suffer anything! If anyone can find the “report” that talks about Charles’s NOT having a head injury, Please let me know.
I am only inerested in the facts and not KMA’s opinion. According to every thing that I have read online, he did suffer a head injury and was brain damanged from being hit by a truck at age 3 and like I said, if anyone can come up with the ACTUAL Hospital records and NOT an opinion by a court or anyone else, I will be happy to read it.
This is NOT an attempt to free Charles, only to seek and find the TRUTH. She couldn’t touch me with a ten foot hose if she WANTED to. That is laughable.
I don’t have your email address…LOL so that makes it pretty much impossible to contact you privately. Take care….Darby
Robbie, For the record, even though you don’t like me too much and I really don’t know how to feel about you, what I read on the site that KMA says is court documents indicates that you served in the Military and want to tell you for what it’s worth that I too support the war on Terrorism and am not a Liberal. Thank you, Darby
Sorry to disappoint you, dorky. Some off my posts disappeared due to a software problem. Robbie is aware of it. Since, it is extra work for him both to correct the error and to restore the posts, I told him not to bother.
And, no, the blog was not set up for any of the family members. It’s set up for Robbie to write whatever the hell he wants to write about. One of his pet subjects is his support of the death penalty – especially the death penalty in Texas.
It’s obvious that you know nothing about legal citations since you routinely bastardize them. You are also completely ignorant on how cases are appealed and how opinions are recorded. You’ve been b.s.’ing your way and making crap up from the moment you first appeared.
And, it’s not my opinion — it’s the factual findings of Circuit Judges Smith, Wiener, and Stewart who state: “Hood’s hospital records which document the injuries he received from the septic truck, make clear, however, that he suffered no head injury.†(Hood v. Dretke (5th Cir. 2004) No. 00-41272, 93 Fed. Appx. 665, slip opn. pp. 8-9.)
Keep reading it. Eventually, it will have to sink in.
I don’t know about anyone else in here, but it looks an awful lot like KMA would like Robbie to be HER boytoy or HIS boytoy, what ever she/he/it is. Isn’t it sweet that “it” found a new word in the Dictionary and now wants to repeat it over and over again. Awwww
Even though I didn’t address this to KMA and won’t, she will still answer for everyone else who may have an opinion. She thinks that hers is the only one that counts, unless of course you agree with her that name calling is a good thing to do as an adult. If he/she has kids, I feel sorry for them and that they were/are taught that if someone does not share your opinion, it’s perfectly acceptable to start calling then names and try to bring them down to your level.
Ho hum, (yawn) I’ll just sit here and wait to be “whammied” again by a person who has no idea who they are talking to, but yaps anyway. I think she just likes to see her own writing and probably looks in the mirror a lot or just talks outloud to hear her own voice.
Wow. I can’t believe you’re attacking robbie’s sexual orientation.
My dear Darby, I hope that you aren’t going to address that stupid, idiotic comment made by KMA. Ray Charles can read what you said and it had nothing to do with Robbie’s sexual orientation. Why don’t you tell me what the hell you are KMA, male of female. You talk like a brainless, stupid dirtbag. It is YOU that is the dork here.
Darby out classes you without even trying. At least when she sends someone to a page to read, there is something on it. You are still blubering and I imagine anyone that you talk to can barely stand to listen. I’m sure they don’t get a word in edgewise either.
Maybe if KMA is a girl, she is Robbie’s wife or girlfriend. Believe you me, she is something to him besides just a writer in this space he owns. If KMA is a man, then maybe I should question KMA’s sexual orientation eh??
At any rate, I came back to see how you are holding up and can say unequivocally that you can hold your own. KMA is just an ass hole with a computer and likes to use what I refer to as $10.00 words.
She doesn’t give a shit about the families of the murdered victims, she just wants to run her big mouth in Robbie’s defence. If you look back, you will notice that everything is about this guy Robbie.
It is apprent that Robbie believes in the death penalty and that’s OK, just like it should be OK for me to stand opposed. But according to KissMyAss, people that do not agree with him get put on her shit list. Now Darby, ask me if I care? NOOOOOOOOOOO
I think that KMA is a woman. I won’t say lady because there is nothing lady like about her at all. Now YOU are a lady Darby and I am still intrigued by you.
My true feelings are that Big Sis likes you and wants to talk with you more but is mixed about it because this guy supposedly killed her baby sister and feels that he needs to die for it. I understand that and by all accounts, you do too. I’m sure that she is trying to understand why you are writing to this Charles guy and is feeling because you do write to him, that you believe him and want to help him. Although you may not believe him, you may feel for him because he is sitting on death row for something that he says he didn’t do.
Now hold on I’m not finished yet. He will say that and may even believe it. I had a chance to go and take a look at his casel and if what I read is true, then he didn’t get a fair shake at trial. He had a lot of problems in that court room that he shouldn’t have had. This is where I actually know what I’m talking about. Can you tell what I do for a living? I think that I know what you do just by watching you write in here and dropping a few hints that no else has seen because they are so hell bent on finding flaws with you, they can’t see the forest through the trees. Am I right?
If big mouth would leave you alone and shut the hell up, maybe the two of you could come to some sort of agreement on this whokle issue, but when someone keeps interferring in between you and her talking, it makes it hard to communicate and understand each other more. I know this blog thing is for anyone who wants to express their opinions, but you do not address her personally and yet she gets right
up in the mix and spits out her low life comments anyway. She is probably trailer trash.
Use her email address and write to her if you haven’t already. If you are who and what I think you are, then is it quite understandable why you wouldn’t want your email address posted, but if you are as smart as I think you are, you have put in an email address that you really don’t use that often. Maybe you even borrowed one from a friend to use in here. Very smart thinking. At any rate, you have these people fighting amongest themselves, quite an accomplishment I must say.
KMA, if Darby is what and who I think she is, you are WAY out of her league so my advice to you is knock off your crap, you have no clue nor idea who you are up against.
Darby, You have got to tell me if I’m right or not. It’s killing me!!!!
Tom, May I call you Tom?
Thank you once again for coming to my defence. You are correct in the fact that I was in no way attacking Robbie’s sexual orientation. I’m sure that when he reads the post, he will know that was just another cheap shot at trying to make me angry.
I don’t like to play tit for tat but I guess I chose to get angry when I saw that she isn’t smart enough read between the lines. I think you are right again about me writing to Bigsis on a private email. I’m sure that she also does question why I write to Charles. You know, you are a pretty smart guy to see things for what they are and not try to assume anything.
I know how Bigsis feels about the murder of her little sister and why she says the things that she says. I don’t know about the part where you say that she likes me but I hope you are right because she is a nice lady who is also a victim of her sister’s murder. I have told her how I feel and I think she does understand and is trying very hard to forgive, but can’t. I understand that also.
How in God’s name did you come to the conclusion that you think that you know who I am or what I do?? I have indeed drop a hint or two but stopped once you wrote to me and said that I owe nothing to anyone in here. I agreed with you that what I do or who I am has little to do with the arguments in this blog.
I also am still intrigued with you as well, especially after that last letter you wrote. Yes, I think I know what you do for a living as well, but am unclear as to who you are. Your name is not familier to me.
I also agree with you that KMA is a woman. I know that Robbie is married but I’m not so sure that she is his wife and I highly doubt that he is the type to have a girlfriend on the side. She jumps to his defence every time she gets the chance to and I’m sure that they write to each other and not just in here. She has also dropped a few hints that I see through.
I know that they will both read our letters to each other so I will just say that this is another puzzle that will be easy to figure out if one goes back to read this entire blog or thread as they put it.
Right now I’m not feeling good. I have a swollen leg and foot and I can’t seem to find my ankle anywhere, so I’m not up to solving anything tonight. I did want to answer your letter though and thank you once again.
I made a promise to Bigsis that I would not address KMA and when she wrote above, I was so tempted to tell her where to go and what to kiss so I thank you once again for saving me . I assure you that I wouldn’t have but the thought did cross my mind.
I have never broken a promise to anyone and don’t intend to start now. Your word is your bond.
You are in Michigan aren’t you?? That much I figured out.
Ho Hum, another puzzle.
Now in closing I have to say LOL at your question as to who I am and what I do, so I will give you my standard answer….”No comment”
LOL Take care….Darby
JUST STOP THE FLIPPING BICKERING, PLEEEEEEASE.
Bigsis, I’m sorry and will write you personally. I have had some health issues for the last couple of days that I’m not used to so I took the day off and it may turn into a week off which is not something that I normally do.
All people have a different outlook, some of us have a colorful way of showing it and some of us don’t. I am going to lay down and watch the Spector trial and call it a day at 10am. Ha
I hope that you had a great Memorial day and had family around you. I had an OK day and ended up having a barbecue in my backyard. I just sat there with my legs up on a chair and watched people mowing my lawn and cooking.
Having God in your life is the most important thing, and having family and friends is the second.
Take care….Darby
hello everyone….. I just want to say that some life changing events have been happening. I know that when I first started to write in here I was really angry. Thru this thread I have been able to see things more clearly and realizing that Dean does have family, and that not all of them are like Dean. I ask my higher power to take the hate out of my heart, as it takes to much energy and time to continue with those feelings….. i have a friend who is helping me to try and find forgiveness, I really don’t know if I can…. but I still feel he is guilty. I will still be there when it is time…. but for different reasons, I just feel it is something I have to do.
I don’t wish to bicker, what happens happens.
Everyone take care
Big Sis,
You had every right in the world to be extremely angry over what happened to your baby sister, I am sure that we would all feel that way if in the same circumstance. Your new attitude is wonderful, keep it up and you really do not have to find forgiveness for Dean, that is your right, especially with you feeling that he is guilty.
I know one thing, if I was innocent of a crime that found me on death row for so many years, I would be kicking and screaming for the whole world to hear, I would be giving as many press interviews as I possibly could. I would be sending letters to every major newspaper in the country, why is Dean so passive ?
I hope you have found some kind of inner peace within yourself, and are far more happy in doing so. You seem like a very passionate, warm, person who has been through a lot of turmoil over what happened.
I wish you much happiness in your new skin, may your life see much joy.
Take good care of yourself.
Ron
Hi Bigsis, I agree with Ron in the fact that it is hard to forgive, but it will make you feel so much better to get that load off of your shoulders.
It’s so easy to hate and but you know the old saying “To err is human, to forgive devine”
I can see the change in here and am in your corner, no matter what.
Please read your email as I have written to you in there.
Take care….Darby
Sticking a gun to two people’s heads and pulling the trigger is not an error.
lmao kma like i said you are rude to everyone that doesnt agree with you. why dont you try listening to other people and what their opinions are and then tell them yours -you bad person you~
Nats, I agree with you. Now she is trying to bring back the hate in here which is finally trying to settle itself. It doesn’t matter what I say, she is always throwing her ignorance around.
Bigsis, Don’t let people in here come between you and your higher power. The Devil is hard at work in here and will try anything to put hate in your heart and talk you into not forgiving anyone for anything. Stay strong and focused and may God help you and send true friends to you.
Take care….Darby
Who is Nats??
OK….I have something to say here
There are people in here using more than one name. I went back and took a hard look at this blog from the very beginning. There was no “Nats” in here before so how could this person say to KMA that he/she has told her before that she is only rude to those who do not agree with her?
Then “Hey Ericson” pops in here once and calls me a cute little name or two never to return.
KMA never wrote in this blog until I did, and then she appeared out of nowhere to talk to me like she has been in here the whole time. Where did this Blech come from? All of a sudden this person appeared to make a quick comment but has never before….
I think that KMA is coming in here under different names and I am now wondering how many people in here just change their names to have something to say?
With the exception of Bigsis and a few others, I am not sure I believe anyone in here anymore and who they are.
I think that KMA is “2″ also. They talk alike. If KMA is going to impersonate someone, she should try to change the way she talks so as not to bring attention to herself.
I smell a big fat RAT in here. I would like to know just how many people ever wrote in this blog under their name only and used one name, but that puzzle is something that I’m not interested in solving. So……..there is it. I just wanted a few people in here to know that I am on to them. Thanks so much….:0)
Have you really got nothing better to do????
“Friend”
The last time you even bothered to write in here was on February 22, 2007. You said that you were from QLT in OZ remarking on the laws in the United States. Now all of a sudden here you are asking ME if I have nothing better to do?? Do you know the Wizard??
Do me a favor and look in the mirror today and say “This is not working for Darby”
I wonder if KMA’s real name is “Sybil”
So….More to the point, Have YOU got nothing better to do????
Just because I don’t really care about the bitching that is going on, I do care about what is going on with the Case.
And I don’t give a shit what is working for Darby…
Darby, i am nats and know kma from other blogs on this site look at cathy henderson and charles smith he/she was nothing but rude to me and others on there just gor sick of her/him whoever it is and was just saying that he never had anything nicwe to say to anyone but what is interesting is that however rude he is robbie never tells hi off lollololol
Darby, i am nats and know kma from other blogs on this site look at cathy henderson and charles smith he/she was nothing but rude to me and others on there just gor sick of her/him whoever it is and was just saying that he never had anything nicwe to say to anyone but what is interesting is that however rude he is robbie never tells hi off lollololol look at all the death row blogs
Friend, LOL OK if you don’t like the bitching, then why did you bitch???
Nats, I am very up on the Cathy Henderson case too, but I do not write to her. lol I didn’t know that there was a blog for her as well. I thought it was very odd that KMA didn’t say a word in this blog until I did, then she came out of the closet, so to speak. Yes, I noticed also that Robbie does not ever say a nasty thing to her. The first time I wrote in here, he blasted me and called me names. That is because I do not support the death penalty and he is so for it and can’t see past his nose about it. I did write something nasty back to him and got blasted by KMA again. LOL
There is only one side, His. KMA is pro Robbie no matter what he says. I questioned that already and so did someone else in here. It did appear to me that she is using more than one name, so if I’m wrong, I’m wrong. I wouldn’t put it past her though. I will have to find the site for Cathy Henderson. I suppose already that they think that she killed that baby on purpose and should die and rot in hell with Charles, even though the Medical Examiner in that case changed his mind.
Thanks for writing back and being nice and not like “Friend” who doesn’t give a shit what is not working for Darby. LOL
I guess certain people just pop in here and it just so happens when I say something they don’t like. How strange….
Nats, I just reviewed the blog about Cathy Henderson. I see that KMA was indeed there and in her usual form. So it isn’t just me……
LOL She doesn’t like anyone that even has an opinion that is not like hers. She even had something to say about the guy ( Steve) that offered the Family a mediation and said that it can’t happen because she didn’t admit to a murder. I think that he knows better than she does about the process which he checked on and found out that they no longer do it for death row inmates, but did at one time. He wasn’t EVEN talking to her but she jumped in anyway.
Thank God that I am in Michigan where the death penalty is not even up for discussion. We simply don’t have it and probably never will. I’m sure that the voters here would not allow the DP ever in Michigan. If it ever came to a vote, I would be the first one at the polls to vote against it. A lady named Diane wrote in the other blog and talked about the death penalty and getting closure from a life sentence, and KMA came right in and knocked her down too.
She was a nice lady who was just sympathizing with the family and shouldn’t have been answered in that way. That’s the difference between class and trash….Darby
1. No, Steve didn’t know better because the program clearly stated that: “The offender must admit guilt and accept responsibility for his or her actions prior to the meeting.” Those on death row that did participate admitted their guilt. Henderson has not.
2. The Baugh family is adamant that they want Henderson executed for murdering their son and grandson. Nothing classy about someone telling them they know better when they have never been in their shoes.
Do me a favor and look in the mirror today and say “This is not working for Darbyâ€
Do yourself a favor and look in the mirror today and say, “This is not working for Darby.” Then go see your doctor and tell him you need your meds adjusted. You are sounding more and more bizarre everyday.
Did someone say something to me????
Did someone say something to me????
More proof you should see a doctor immediately.
Hello….Is anybody there????
Darby,
If you don’t know who I am I am the sister in law that get’s “blasted” on here all the time. If I were you I would not even justify KMA with a response. If you look on the other site he has came after me many times and other people for that matter and it seems this isn’t the only blog.
People like that you cannot argue with because they are troubled individuals. He is not looking to offer sympathy or anything else for that matter they are so unhappy in there own skin that they come on sites like these to bicker and argue with others and say mean nasty things. I imagine KMA has his own anger problems to deal with and more than likely in the next few years I imagine there will be a site set up just like this one in his defense because someone that mean and ugly will probably be capable of just about anything.
I think that Bigsis is trying to heal and move past this and she is a great person from what I can tell and people like KMA are just trying to keep the hate moving on. It will not end with this website or another KMA will continue the anger till they seek medical help.
I hope you have a great day and may god bless KMA’s soul and others as well.
Hi Wendy, You are so right that KMA has issues. A very angry person that needs some type of help.
If I read correctly, Cathy Henderson had the same type of issues, getting angry and blaming it on everyone else, so you may be right about her getting just mad enough to be stupid. I guess if someone that is not stable gets angry enough, they can do anthing. She will come back with a quote from something that one of us said and comment on it. Probably about the “stable” comment.
Do you write to Charles? Also were you or your husband at his trial?
Yes, Bigsis is a very nice lady. We now write to each other in private emails and I’m glad that I decided to do that. The bickering in here is too much for her.
She appreciates Robbie a lot and thinks the world of him, and I respect that. It’s really not Robbie that I have a beef with, we just disagree on the death penalty. He never reaponds to anything that I say and I guess that’s a good thing.
Hope to hear from you again. Take care….Darby
“BigSis” “KMA”
Is there any news on what’s going on with the Case??
Nope nothing yet. You are correct that I am tired of the bickering, it makes it difficult as I am trying to heal. Anger and holding a “grudge” takes way to much energy for me to keep it up….. I still feel the same just not as angry……. Someone told me that Dean shouldn’t be angry at me……. afterall it was my sister who was murdered and he was found guilty….. he should understand how I feel, and to pray for me.
I am not the only person who suffers……. Dean does have family and it must be difficult for them also, I understand their feelings….. I am sorry that at times I have been so ANGRY with them…… talk to me not at me, and when anyone attacks someone verbally one takes a defensive stance.
take care everyone…….
Thanks Bigsis, & take good care of yourself.
Well, just an update from the DA’s office….. they have filed a certitorie stateing why this doesn’t need to be looked at by the USSC.
They are sure his attorney’s will file something also…. just wanted to let everyone know what’s up.
yeap indeed his attorneys filed a brief…..
The court’s on vacation. On 9/24 the case is set for conference. Shortly thereafter, they will issue a decision.
Thanks KMA…. the day you posted that last entry was Tracies Birthday….. she would have been 44 yrs old.
Maybe I will get to come down to Texas for Christmas!
Well today is September 24th….. hopefully in the next week or so we will have a decision and a date set.
I did indeed hear from the courts yesterday…… the courts will review
Deans request and make a decision in the next week or two if they will grant his request………
Big Sis,
What is Dean’s request that the courts have to make a decision on ?
What is going on that this whole affair is taking so long, it just drags on and on, the man was found guilty, why is he still breathing ?
Ron
The courts are reviewing his request on his certitorie stateing why this needs to be looked at by the USSC. The DA’s office also filed a certorie saying this doesn’t need to be looked at…. just another tactic to stall the inevidible……
we all know he is guilty of the crimes he commited, he is just stalling, cuz he is a chicken shit he could dish it out but can’t take it’
Well this is the latest update re: Hoods request
The Supreme Court of the United States had denied review of Hood’s
claims today.
At this point he has no challenges to his conviction and an execution
date could be scheduled.
However, the Supreme Court, as of last week, has decided to take review
of a Kentucky case challenging the lethal injection method.
The Kentucky protocol is similar to the Texas protocol, and an execution
here has been stayed due to that case.
It is not clear right now whether all Texas executions will have to be
held until a decision issues in that case.
Dead man walking!
if isn’t one thing it’s another. they say that lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment…. how about the punishment they handed out to their victims……. what about, hanging, or the electric chair, or firing squad? They piss and moan….. they handed down justice now they should take what ever they got comming to them. hell the sodium pen that that use to sedate is a drug used for surgery to put people under and it’s not painful you just go to sleep, and the pancurmonium is a paralytic, and the potassium stops the heart… it should be delivered by a physican so the correct dosages are used and should be administered by such….. though physicians take an oath to heal…. maybe jack Kavorkian could step in……
They give 5x the lethal dose of each drug. So, there is no issue of correct or insufficient dosage. It’s just another red herring by those who wish to stop all executions.
“Texas Ruling Signals Indefinite Halt of Executions”

SONS A BITCHES ALWAYS SEEM TO CATCH A BREAK. THIS JUST PISSES ME RIGHT THE HELL OFF. BETCHA HOOD IS JUMPING UP AND DOWN IN HIS CELL…… BASTARD, PIECE OF SHIT, PATHETIC PIECE OF HUMANITY…. TO BAD MY SISTER AND RON DIDN’T CATCH THE SAME BREAK.
UUUUUUUUUGH.
He is still in prison Big Sis. He will never enjoy freedom other than in his head and even that is really difficult being a criminal and (have to) face himself each and every day in the mirror.
I’m against the death penalty for a couple of reasons and I personally do think ‘jail time’ (LWOP) is much harder than ‘dead time’.
I doubt if he’s jumping, but if he does remember he can jump, but if he jumps too high he will hit his head hard.
I know he is still in prison and will never get out it’s the fact that he even breathes, his heart still beats….. neither my sister Tracie and Ron have that opportunity and neither should he. I know that his living conditions leave alot to be desired but he still has them. LWOP depends upon what the ruling was at the time of sentencing….. at his time there was no LWOP so if they change it to “life” he may still be able to apply for parole… not that I WOULD EVER LET THAT HAPPEN…. I WOULD BE THERE FOR EVERY PAROLE HEARING THAT PIECE OF SHIT WOULD HAVE.
Your views and opinions are just that yours and you are entitled to those feelings for what ever reasons.
I would like to know if you have ever had anyone murdered in your family….. before my sister Tracie was murdered I too thought that jail time would be worse…. but he snuffed out 2 innocent lives that will never again feel the sun in their face or the wind in their hair, or smell the fresh air, have someone to grow old with……. etc.
I have said before unless you have walked in my shoes and feel what i have felt for the last 18 yrs…. you have no clue…. I am not being mean when I say that either…. just the honest to Gods truth.
You know that thing called Karma….. what goes around comes around back to you 10 fold.
Am i bitter…. somewhat… but feel i have a right to be bitter…… he took from our family, someone special… Tracie was very child like and was a very big hearted person….. she nor ron or other murdered victim deserve what they got….. do unto others as you would others do unto you….. guess Hood thought he could murder 2 people and not have it done to him….. BULLSHIT HE DESERVES WHAT HE HAS COMING. I have all the time in the world to wait for that day.
To see it…. will bring closure to my life…..
Big Sis,
You have every right in the world to be pissed off, angry, frustrated, bitter, etc. That P.O.S. took a loved one from you, and his deserved execution just keeps dragging on. Even though he is in a hell hole, living under very horrible conditions, so they say, I can fully understand where you are coming from, you want closure and you deserve it. I am sure that this whole thing will be resolved quite quickly, even if it is back to the chair !
Try to be patient, you have waited this long, so hang in there, think of him as being caged like the animal that he is, I am sure that he is not very happy being where he is.
Justice will prevail.
Ron
You know what is odd….. we euthanize animals but wont do it to humans. What is the difference if the animal has 4 legs or 2? If the animal needs to be put down then do it. Just a matter of fact.
Hey the chair sounds good to me….. then let them scream about lethal injection…. bastards are getting off way to easy… considering the amout of violence they displayed in their murderous ways the chair, hanging, firing squad would be appropriate…. punishment should fit the crime in my book
I am a patient person and one day this will be a closed subject… another chapter in my life.
I HOPE THE BASTARD IS MISERABLE IN HIS CAGE….
TAKE CARE….. I AM
Big Sis,
Consider this fact, they piss and moan about lethal injection, does the first drug not render them unconscious, so basically they should more or less be asleep and feel nothing.
But the CHAIR, imagine being strapped to that sucker, waiting for the jolt of electricity to hit you, wow, now that’s scary.
They may be wishing for much worse than what they get now.
In any event, good old Texas will find a way to throw out the garbage.
Take good care of yourself.
Ron
No Big Sis, no one in my family was murdered so I know it’s impossible for me to feel what you are feeling and that for such a long time.
I understand and respect your view that his death will bring closure to you. I really hope it does.
But don’t you think he will suffer more and longer with a life sentence? If there was no death penalty, maybe you could get closure with that (life sentence) and you didn’t have to wait this long figuring out what’s going to happen with/to him.
But as you said, this is my opinion and you don’t have to share it. You’re entitled to yours as I am to mine.
Ron … the answer to your question is yes it does put them to “sleep”, the ssecond drug causes paralysis to the diaphram… halting breathing, and the 3rd drug causes the heart to stop. As a medical person… i could think of much worse things to do to them… like no sodium penathol…… then they would be awake and actually know what it really feels like…. can you imagine being awake and getting a paralytic drug…. your mind would work but you would be unable to speak or anything else…. the potassium burns really bad at the site of injection and all the way up the vein…. feel like your arm is on fire and you cant put it out…… now how would one like that.
I have no empathy for anyone who takes another life or lives. They are definately where they belong, no respect for life, most is caused by greed…. wanting something that they are unwilling to work for…. takers, losers, pathetic pieces of humanity.
Thank you for your support.
Jacques….. Thank God that you have never had a loved one taken in such a violent manner. I hope you never have to experience it.
His death will be closure for me….. I think that the thought of knowing when you are going to die weight more on ones mind than knowing you will be there for life….. but you have to remember that when this crime occured there was no LWOP, so life could mean 20 yrs and since he has been there for 18 of it he could be eligable for parole…. not that he would ever get it…. i would see to that. But knowing that it is a possibilty inspires hope that someday he may get out… stranger things have happened…. when he is executed it is absolutly guaranteed that he will NEVER hurt another human being.
Thank you for respecting my point of view….. as i respect yours.
take care
Big Sis
I only check this site from time to time just out of curiousity. So, my comments about Wendy’s accusations are untimely, and I am sorry for that.
Dwayne, my husband, but separted, would first of all be glad, as I would talk to anyone in your family or any defense attorneys if you think it would help. Your family knows how to reach me, otherwise, I am listed.
When your parents came to visit us, two neighbors were at the house visiting. We saw your parents arrive and asked our guests, before your parents got to the door, to please leave so that we could have some time alone with you folks. We knew that they were arriving and thought the polite thing would be to get rid of the guests to talk with your parents. It may have appeared weird, but at this time it was a sort of family thing and we asked our guests to leave to allow Dean’s parents and us to talk privately. The back door you referred to was nearly a second door on to the deck that we used regularily, rather than the front door. Of course, your parents, as virtual newcomers to the place, came to the front door, which we rarely used. They just freaked out and jumped to conclusions because the guests left out another door, weird as it looks, it wasn’t an intentional “skip out the back door” kind of thing.
Funny thing about that, I might ad, is that when one of the defense attorney investigators came to see us, he came to that very “back” door. That has no point in this, but anyway.
The thing is Wendy is that Dwayne was fingerprinted and he may have even been polygraphed and interviewed and interviewed, and apparently had an alibi for the time of the ordeal.
Also, is their any records of Dwaynes visit to Dean? I would be interested in that because I don’t recall him visiting him.
I know you want to blame Dwayne because you all wanted Dean to make a new life in Texas and things didn’t go that way. After all, why was he leaving Indiana? Because of trouble, well we all know that you can’t out move your problems.
I do wish the best and I have never felt that Dean was capable of murder, but facts are facts, and the facts show Dwayne was not part of it.

Has anyone got any NEWS on the Case ???
everything is on hold due to the Supreme Courts reviewing the ” cruel and unusual punishment” with lethal injection, and all executions have been put on “hold” til a decision is reached.
Are there any updates on the case? It is January 14th, 2008.
The update is that as soon as the USSC rejects Baze v. Rees, the State of Texas will set an execution date and this time the execution will be carried out. Say, goodnight, Chucky.
I do not believe that Charles committed this horendous crime. There are too many questions that have yet to be answered about this case and until they are answered this case will continue to be delayed. As I said there are too many unanswered questions.
What questions do you think that need to be answered? When the USSC rules in favor….. Charlie boy’s sentence WILL be carried out. No question about it…….
What makes you think that he didn’t commit the horendous crime? Must be a pen pal…. you all seem to believe his BULL SHIT. Go back and read the 2 previous threads!
The ruling is just around the corner. This is the ONLY reason the piece of shit is still around……. SAY GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD BYE
I do not believe that Charles has exhausted all the legal avenues at his disposal. What makes you think Anonymous that the ruling is just around the corner? What exactly do you think validates his accountability of guilt? What 2 previous threads? Where do I find them? Why do you believe the USSC will rule in favour? I just believe there are to many questions that have not been answered.
What you believe or don’t believe is irrelevant. Hood has lost all his appeals. Executions are on hold until the Court issues the opinion that LI is constitutional. The Court’s calender ends late June/early July and they will have a decision before then. Since the court is fast tracking it, I would expect a decision this month. With any luck, Hood will be in Hell by summer.
Hi Big Sis!! Just thought I would stop by and say Hi and see how you are doing. Dr. Darby has been real sick and I put myself on a medical leave of absence. I had to have surgery so I’m trying to recoup at home. I have been reading John Grisham books that I never had time to read and I’m not a very good patient.
Hi to Wendy if you are reading this.
Charles and I have not written to each other lately. Apprently someone who was reading these blogs sent him a letter telling him that I am not on his side. LOL I have been screamed at and bitched at for taking his side and some jerk tells him that it would be in his best interest to not write to me anymore. He was real upset with me. I haven’t written him back yet because I have been so sick.
I am going to write to him and hope that he writes back. I don’t want hard feelings between us when I never said a bad word about him.
Oh well, that’s neither here or there.
I hope you keep in touch….Take care, Darby
Well Annie…. if you type in Charles D Hood in the search box you will find them. Dean has indeed lost all appeals….. heard it right from the DA’s office. It really doesn’t matter what you believe or think about his guilt or innocence….. it has already been proven he is guilty….. he just cant face the fact that he will have to accept the same punishment he dished out to my sister and Ron.
Hi Darby…..
He was real upset with me.
Tread carefully, Darby — we’ve all seen what Charles Hood is capable of when he’s real upset with people….
It’ll be nice when SCOTUS finally rules on the legality of the lethal injection drug cocktail currently used for the death penalty.
I would guess Uncle Charlie has a date with a gurney not too long after that…
Correction: Both the death penalty and LI are constitutional. The issue now before the court is whether the method of administering LI is constitutional. And as Scalia so wisely said: It ain’t surgery!
Why should I tread carefully Robbie? There are plenty of people who are free that are more dangerous to me than Charles. There are murderers that walk amoung us that have not been caught yet or are thinking of killing as we speak. I am not afraid of Charles. But indeed if all of his appeals are exhausted, I would like to hear it from him, so I sent him a letter this morning in hopes that I will hear from him soon.
I check every other day or so to see if there are any scheduled executions in Texas, and so far there are none. I’m sure he has a little more time and then you can put on your happy feet. How anyone can be so happy to see a human die is beyond me, no matter what they did.
I feel very bad for you, Big Sis and for The Williamson family and also for the Hood Family. They are all victims, but killing Charles will never change anything for you victins, but it will most certainly have an effect on the Hoods, because they will know the feeling of what it is like to lose a son, brother, brother-in-law, and grandson. They are innocent people. I am not sure if you had their grief in mind although they have been through hell for the last 18 years also.
Charles knows the Lord and all we can do is kill him, we can not put him in hell. I know some of you would like to think that he will be in in hell, but believe me when I tell you that God forgives us of our sins from a little lie to a murder. So Charles will be fine, and really all you are doing is punishing his Family and putting them through the grief that you already went through for the last 18 years.
The Judge’s and the executioners are the ones that need to ask for forgivness too, for they are the ones that order a death, pull the plug, or start the IV that intentially ends someone’s life.
And yes, Texas now has life without the possibility of parole.
I just don’t understand……Darby
Hi Darby, why do you mention Texas has life without the possibility of parole when you speak of Charles’s case? When his appeal goes thru he will be found not guilty and well be off death row and out of jail.
[Editor --- Annie your knowledge of the case is woefully inaccurate. Otherwise you'd know that Charles has exhausted all of his appeals. The only thing he is hanging onto is the current SCOTUS decision on how we can kill Charles --- not if.]
OMG…. Here we go again…… Annie are you that nieve? or just plain gullable to think he would EVER get out alive. The only way Charles will get out is in a pine box!
We all have our own beliefs in this world..Charles thinks he is going to be with his God…. but did God not have 10 “Rules” to live by? Was he not found guilty of breaking one of those life rules? .. does it really matter anyways? This is about punishment for a horrendous crime…. The murder of 2 innocent people, My Sister Tracie and Ron. Charles’s family have already lost him when he commited the crime and was found guilty…. it will just be a permanent loss…… and they will continue to grieve as I have for so long….. we all lose in someway thats the way life goes. Life … it is what it is….. the past is the past.
We all have different views on the DP and we are all entitled to those views….. And don’t forget the soldiers who died so you could hold those views without the threat of reprisal…… but we have a justice system in our great country ….. regardless of what you think of it. IT IS NOT A PERFECT WORLD WE LIVE IN BY ANY MEANS.
Should the judges and executioners ask for forgiveness? Maybe they do…… They have very difficult jobs to do…
Darby…. I hope he does write you back. I also have to agree that there are people out there that are more dangerous than someone behind bars and if they to commit a crime they should be punished for it.
As for life without parole….. “life” could be 10 yrs or 50 yrs and once you serve that time your done…. so would you really want them out walking the streets again? Prison does not change bad behavior for most…. maybe one or two… it only bottles it up while they are there and when they are “out” it explodes maybe taking more lives. I really don’t care how they do it…. it aint rocket science! Just when…. i have always said time was on my side. Sound bitter? just a little…. Angry no…. Anger creates negativity and takes to much energy to keep it going…….. I really don’t care how, just when.
Annie, I heard also that Charles has exhausted his last appeal. I did send him a letter yesterday so that I can see it from his own writing but sadly, it’s probably true.
Unless they find someone who admits to killing Ron and Tracie, or get a new lead in the case, Charles has no hope unless they decide to give him live without the possibility of parole, which I doubt they will ever do that.
From day one, Charles has professed his innocence to this crime, and after 18 years on death row, he still says he didn’t do it. I just hope beyond all hope that Texas got the right guy because once they execute Charles, that is irreversible error and that is one of the reasons why I do not believe in the death penalty. What if???
If he were to receive life, he would have more time to prove his innocence. These people who want him dead haven’t ever laid eyes on him unless they were at the trial, so I don’t understand why they want him dead so bad. It’s not going to affect their lives one way or the other if he’s dead or in jail for life.
As far as closure, some think his death will bring them closure, but I don’t think that is going to happen. His death will only bring back the memories they have tried to get over for 18 years. Maybe they will breath a sigh of relief that’s it’s “finally” over, but so will the victims families of the killer who murdered their loved one that dies in Prison. What is closure???? When someone is murdered, does the family ever really get closure?
I just read a book based on a true story of a man that was arrested, charged, and found guilty of murder. He spent 12 years on death row and 4 days before his execution, someone came forward with information that exonerated him. Pretty scary I think.
I HATE THE DEATH PENALTY!!!!!!!!!!
Big Sis, I am so totally happy that you are not angry anymore.
I promise you that we will work on forgiving and the little bit of bitterness that is going on in the coming months. Life is so much better when we don’t harbor ill feelings for our fellow man.
No matter what they did, we must forgive or the Devil will use us and play with us until he wins. You just keep adding names to that “list” we talked about and you will be fine.
I’m proud of you!! Take care….Darby
What a creepy world the aiders and abettors of thugs have created for themselves where they believe that they and the murderers are normal and the family of the murder victim are the ones with the mental problems.
You aren’t reading the Bible or you would know that hating anyone does not get you into Heaven when your time comes. You are what makes this world creepy by even suggesting that Family of murder victims have mental problems.
You are the one with the problems because you can not stop hating long enough to see that others are trying to get better because they have a life to live and hate shouldn’t get in their way of happiness.
Hate is a terrible thing to live with and I suggest you work on it and learn that if you keep hating, it will consume your life and you will never be happy.
[Editor --- I'm an agnostic. Don't put a lot of stock in the Bible (though I do think it's a good book with a fine recipe for living your life.
As for "hate", I don't hate Charles. I just want him to die for his crime, just like the good folks from the Great State of Texas have demanded.]
Editor, You don’t put a lot of stock in the Bible, but think it’s a good book with a fine recipe for living your life??
Which is it?? To find a good recipe for living your life, you must have read it or parts of it to know that. So do you have a double standard on the Bible? Agnostic means that one doubts the existance of God. If you read the Bible at all, then I’m sure you know that you must believe in that which you can not see or touch. Faith is what is required of us.
“Thomas said unto him Lord, we know not whither thou goest: and how can we know the way?” Jesus said unto him, “I am the way, the truth and the life: No man cometh unto the Father, but by me”
To wish a man dead to me means there is hate in your heart. I feel sorry for you and the fact that you don’t believe or question the existence of God.
one more thing: “I had wanted proof, something for my eyes or ears or hands. He wanted me to believe without it. Faith is what he required of me and he never rested until I found it.”
You are in my prayers….Darby
[Editor --- Darby --- I went to the largest Southern Baptist university in the country. I've studied the bible pretty extensively (these were mandatory "electives"). Again --- I've always stated that I'm a big fan of Christianity as a way to live your life. However, where we differ is that I don't believe my soul's going to go burn in hell if I don't live according the scriptures.
To want a man dead does not mean I have hate in my heart. But thanks for assuming you know the nature of my feelings and how I think. But you don't. I simply want justice done. Executing Charles Hood will weigh no more heavily on me or my heart than would shooting a rabid and vicious pit bull.]< ./font>
I understand what you are saying. But…if you have read the Bible and know what it says, then you know that there are many plagues written in the Bible that we are warned about.
Are you saying that you do not live according to the scriptures? I guess that doesn’t matter if you even question the existence of God.
To get into Heaven you must do 3 things.. 1) Believe that Jesus died on the cross for you. 2) Be babtised in the trinity. 3) Obey the Commandments which God has made abundantly clear.
Could you put a bullit in Charles’s head if given the chance? That would be murder. Could you murder that easy?
Christ is the only one that had to be crucified to save us from sin.
You are still in my prayers……Darby
I DO NOT believe in the death penalty.
Are you all sure he has exhausted all his appeals?
Anne, I am waiting for a letter from Charles to answer that very question and when I get it I will let you know….
Big Sis is the sister of Tracie, one of the victims and she hears it straight from the Court and she has told me and posted it in here that Charles has exhausted all of his appeals. You have to remember that he has been on Death Row for 18 years now and that is a lot longer than most get.
The usual amount of time is roughly 12 to 15 years, sometimes sooner than that, however there are a few that have been there longer than Charles has. I don’t think that he got a fair trial and would have loved to see him get another chance with better councel, but he’s not going to get that.
I think that because they never brought in the girl that he cashed his checks with every week, who should have checked the signature if there was even a question that Ron didn’t sign it, they didn’t get anyone to verify that it was forged, or his voice on the 911 tape, and according to the letter that I posted from Charles, there were prints in the house that were not his, Ron’s or Tracie’s that didn’t get in at trial, and they never had a handwriting expert to say that the letter written to Ron by Tracie with her name spelled wrong was Charles’s writing. If they would have done that, and a handwriting expert was absolutely sure that it matched Charles’s, that would have done it for me, but they did not do that.
They also didn’t say whose blood it was on his bloody prints, Tracie’s or Ron’s? They left doubt. Remember it is not up to Charles to prove his innocence, but the state to prove his guilt.
On the flip side of that, his bloody prints were found on the safe, the closet door that Tracie was put in, and the letter written. He took Ron’s car and was found back home in Indiana where he came from, with some of Ron’s things in the car that were in his safe, and wearing Ron’s watch and apprently that was enough for the state, because he was convicted.
To me this is still a puzzle that boggles my mind because of the doubts that I do have. I want to know HOW it happened minute by minute and how Ron did not suspect Charles when he came in and read The letter. What happened after that troubles me, although who ever killed Tracie killed Ron and Tracie was killed first.
All these questions will probably never be answered, but that will only bother me and It won’t hurt anyone but me so I pray every day for Charles, and the victims families, and the Hoods that somehow they can can endure.
One question for you…What makes you think that he has another appeal?? Did you hear it from him and do you write to him?
Also, if you didn’t read the letter written by Charles sent to me to post on here, it is at the top of this page. You should read it….Darby
Ok, thanks Darby. No I haven’t heard any news. I just wanted to know whether he had exhausted all is appeals or not. There are so many questions that have not been answered and it confuses me that the Texas courts can convict someone when there are questions that haven’t been answered.
Annie
Well for some you may still have questions but as for me there are none. I don’t think that God has anything to do with this matter. For me it is a matter of Justice, punishment for the taking of 2 lives… Tracie and Ron……. I don’t care if he has a crappy life and for some of you …… think it would be more punishment for him to stay locked up for ever….. you are entitled to those thoughts and feelings…. And those of us who feel he should be executed are entitled to ours. I really don’t care what you think about it…….. cuz it just doesn’t matter to me…… Hopefully a decision will be handed down soon and we can get on with the “show”…….
why would it matter whose blood HIS fingerprints were made in? My sister was shot in the head from behind her right ear and the bullet exited through her left temple…. he says he is innocent…. if he were there and some other person made him leave his prints in the blood why weren’t they named?
Take care……………………….
How can Texas courts convict someone when there are questions?
Look up the case of Michael D. Johnson. The great state of Texas executed him and knew that another person admitted guilt but because of some technically, they refused a stay and hours before he was to be executed, he slit his wrists and his throat in his cell.
He wanted to take a stand, knew he couldn’t stop it so he decided to take his own life. True Story. They have done it before, and they will do it again.
I have a friend who is a Prosecutor in Texas and in her words…”We shake um and bake um here”
I have asked her to look into this case, and have not heard from her yet and she is only doing it as a favor to me. It won’t change anything but maybe it will shed some light for me….Nobody said Life is fair….Darby
Hey Big Sis, You are absolutely right, God does not interfere with free will. If we don’t abide with his laws, then so be it.
The questions that I have are mine only, and will never be answered although I do agree that it doesn’t matter whose blood was on his hands. Sometimes we write things and think about it later, and reolize how silly it looked.
I never believed the senario that they made him touch things to bloody them up, as he walked in and found somebody killing them or Ron wouldn’t have called 911 so and she was already in the clooset. What sense does that make?
Obviously, who ever wrote that note is the killer. Read your email will ya?? LOL….Darby
I haven’t gotten any from you….. if they ended up in bulk I don’t ever look in there…. maybe I should start….. try resending them please.
Did you ever get a response back from Dean? Or is that in the email?
Oh I just wanted to say that Tracie and Ron were shot execution style, so whats good for the goose is good for the gander!
Geez, I wrote this letter and it didn’t go through….I hate when that happens…
Big Sis, I did indeed get a letter from Charles today. In fact I got two letters in the same envelope. One was for me which I can not discuss because he confided in me, and the other one is for you. He asked me to post it.
He does mention a couple of people in it. Robbie is mentioned because he deleted parts of the last letter, and Ron’s son is mentioned in it. There are a couple of others.
Let me know if you want it posted and I would like to know if it’s OK with Robbie.
Take Care….Darby
[Editor --- I don't mind posting it here, but only if Big Sis has an opportunity to read it first and approve of its contents. If she doesn't mind, I'll let you post it.]
Yes I would like it posted. What was deleted? I am sure that Robbie would never intentionally delete parts of a letter that I requested to be posted. I would also like to know just what parts Dean said were deleted. It will be very interesting to see what he has to say to me. How long is the letter? Short and to the point? Obiviously someone copy and pasted his posted letter and sent it to him otherwise how would he know…… its okay…. I understand…. as I would like to ensure that if I had written something I would want it to be posted correctly……. I am sure it was not intentional.
I want to say that I did go back and re read the letter the only thing that was deleted by Robbie was
“Back to Trava, Yes! I got mad once, I hit the wall, it was because of what happen. You want to know why? I’ve kept this a secret but the truth is [deleted by Robbie, as this is a serious criminal accusation by this condemened murderer against somebody else].”
As Robbie has stated in notes … it is his blog and does have the right to edit and delete….. Obviously Robbie felt that the “reason for the secret” was an improper accusation. Though he has made many accusations this one was inappropriate.
All prisoners are ordered to have no contact with their victims and their victims family members. It appears that Hood is trying to use your blog for the purpose of communicating with them. It is obvious that the Wallace family does not object, but has the Williamson family waived that court order? The other people he is attempting to address?
Big Sis, First of all, I didn’t tell Charles that some of his letter was deleted. I went back last night after I got his letter and re read it too and saw the same thing. Charles asked me in my letter why I didn’t place what he said about Trava’s Dad where it says “deleted by Robbie” and then he went on to say it again.
Obviously I wrote it in as he wrote it and Robbie decided that he should delete parts of it. This new letter is 8 1/2 pages of written words so I don’t know how long it will take me to type it.
Actually it says to please print this out on the Bib Sis web site, which means this one.
I’m sorry that I can not accommodate Robbie and type it out for you and then re type it in here. That’s just way too much typing for me and he did request that it be put in here by me so I can not make that request happen. If you want me to put it in here and Robbie agrees with the terms, then I will do it. I really don’t think that he will delete anything in this letter but I will read it again to make sure.
One thing he did was paste a typed thing that is at the top of this page put in by Robbie I think. It has 4 points that has the reasons that he was convicted and he explains them to you, one by one.
Let me know what you want me to do and I will do it.
Take Care….Darby
[Editor --- Darby --- if it's easier for you to scan the letter, you can send me the images of the scans and I'll post them in their entirety. Otherwise, if you just want to type it up you can email it to me at robbie@urbangrounds.com and I'll post it in a new dedicated post.]
Robbie, Thank you for allowing me to do that. I do have one issue. After I wrote to you and Big Sis, I went up and read the little note from Anonymous who says that prisoners can not have contact with the victims (obviously, they are not with us anymore) or the victims families. Since Charles does speak to Ron’s son through this letter, I’m wondering if we need his permission to keep that part in.
I think that some people are just here to make trouble but I do not know the law on that, so maybe you do.
I have a couple of things that I have to do right now, so you will be getting it later on tonight if that’s alright. Please let me know about the part of the letter that addresses Ron’s son.
Thanks….Darby
I am able to contact Rons family and will ask…………. if that will make life easier…….. should be no bickering if we are all in agreement. As for my portion of the letter…. let it be public knowlege.
I will get back with you as soon as I hear from Ron’s family……
Actually, Charles isn’t contacting Ron’s son directly. He wrote a letter and did speak to him, but it’s not like he wrote him a letter and sent it to his house. In Fact he said “if you are reading this” so like I said some people just want to make trouble and we have all seen enough in here.
If it wasn’t for that comment, the letter would already be posted.
Thanks for calling them Big Sis and I will wait to hear from you….Darby
I have callled and also sent an e-mail to Roger asking him if he minds it being posted…. I have not heard from him….. I don’t even know if he knew about this blog….. but I sent him the link to this site and told him how to get to here. I don’t think he would care but it’s not good to assume !!!!!
I do not wish this to be emotionally painful for him… but I feel very strongly that he too should be able to voice his feelings as everyone here has.
If he does I hope that everyone will allow him to vent any feelings he has as he is entitled to them, without anybody jumping him.
take care
Big Sis, I thought I remembered that Roger Williamson wrote in this blog before so I went back to look. He does indeed know about this blog and has made comments in here. The first one was on June 24.2005.
If you don’t get a hold of him, I’m just going to send you your part in your enail. I do not want to be in the middle of posting something that one if the writers questioned. I reolize that Robbie can delete what he deems necessary, but I know that you do not want to wait so if you don’t hear from him by tomorrow, I’ll send it to you or post it here since you don’t mind.
Thanks….Darby
With this Medellin decision, the Roberts court has made it clear that they mean business when it comes to the implementation of the death penalty. Say good night, charlie.
Anonymous what is the Medelin decision and what does it entail? Has the decision been the implementation of the death penalty? Is it a conclusive decision?
Anne: The Medellin decision is about a man named Jose Medellin who was arrested in Texas for rape and murder in 1993. He was 18 at the time.
He told Police that he was from Mexico, the Police were supposed to contact the Mexican Consular officers so that they could send him legal help through the Mexican Consulate but they did not. He then told them at his Trial that he was not a United States Citizen. They still didn’t contact Mexico. The decision for this law came from the President of the United States.
He finally wrote to them himself from death row in 1997 and they knew nothing about his case. They said that had they known, they would have provided him with help so they started helping him at that time.
[Editor --- You got this almost right, Darby. The US justice system does not have to tell you that you can contact your consulate. They do not have to inform the Mexican Consular officers. What the law says they must do is honor the request of a foreign citizen to speak to their Consular if they ask to do so. Medellin did not. He never did until it was too late to do so (after he was convicted and talked to some jail-house lawyers. And that is why the SCOTUS ruled as they did.]
Mr.Roberts who is a Supreme Court Justice decided that they didn’t have to listen to the President and that Medellin can still be executed because it would not have changed the outcome of the Trial if Mexico had been alerted of his crime. He is not denying he did it.
What Anonymous is saying is that since it didn’t matter in that case, it won’t matter in Charle’s case, or any case regarding execution in Texas.
That case has nothing to do with Charles nor did that decision. Anonymous is saying that because of what Roberts said, Texas isn’t going to put up with these kinds of technicalities.
The reason nobody is being executed comes from a decision about the use of lethal injection and that it is cruel and unusual punishment so all executions have been stopped until the Supreme Court makes a final decision about lethal injection. Hope that cleared it up for you….Darby
It almost sounds as though you are a law person (prosecutor) Darby ??
Darby…… is a very curious person and likes to research things… please be kind!
My thoughts on this remains the same….. I don’t carry the anger I once did…. I only want to see justice done.
Hopefully soon the USSC will make their decision on HOW to administer lethal injection. I guess what gets me with this is they say it is “cruel and unusual” punishment…… what about the victims and the families? Is is not cruel and unusual punishement for the families of the victims……. what about those who suffer with the loss of their loved one?
Don’t cry to me or other families about it being cruel and unusual punishment….. maybe they would prefer hanging, electrocution, firing squad……… Oh I know…. put the punishments on a wheel and let them give it a spin……
I am still awaiting the letter wrote by Dean to me.
Big Sis,
Who cares about cruel and unusual punishment for these animals that go around shooting people in the head, even if they suffer for what, 5 minutes, they deserve it.
Look at the beautiful girl in North Carolina a few weeks ago, Eve Carson, she was shot in the head for her bank card, by two young punks.
By the way, you forgot public stoning to put on your wheel.
Ron
I did receive my letter from Dean……. I haven’t finished reading it yet… it is difficult to read….. due to penmanship… it is an 8 pg letter.
Not much more to say for now…….
I want to know how quickly they can set a date.
News.
Read today in the Orlando Sentinel newspaper:
Supreme court upholds Kentucky’s use of lethal injections.
Guess that’s the end of that !
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5707770.html
Oddly, the article mentions 6 up in line for execution but only mentions two names. Regardless, I have no doubt Hood is one of the six.
Anonymous,
There are a lot of convicts on Texas death row, maybe Hood is not one of the six, but in any event, I am sure Texas will lead the nation again for executions.
They should be posting names pretty soon.
I believe that those six referred to in the Houston Chronicle story are for Harris County-related cases only.
Hood was tried and convicted up in Plano, wasn’t he?
Either way, I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a date with a gurney within the next 8-10 months.
Thanks for the info. I think Hood will be up sooner than in 8-10 months. He was already on the execution watch list before the current ussc ruling.
It occurred in Collin County. I only read the first couple of lines of Deans letter…… He addressed the letter to ” Janell” , and since he is aware of what is said within this thread… at least he could have done is address me by my given name, which I know he knows. I was anxious to read what he had to say… but when I started to read it I found that I had no desire to continue reading it.
[Editor --- How did you and your family react to the Supreme Court decision yesterday?]
Robbie…. My reaction “about flipping time!” To the rest of my family he is already dead, has been. I am the one who won’t forgive or forget what happened and will see justice done. I was very close with my sister, more than the rest of my family. My family was/is dysfunctional, I refuse to just let it go… not in my nature to do that with anything, kinda like a pit bull! I SO LOVE PIT BULLS! AS I HAVE 2 AT HOME. Loyal, loving, courageous, playful and highly driven. They say that people are alot alike the dogs they own! I guess I have to agree with that.
I am just waiting for an e-mail from the D.A’s office with a “date”.
As I have said before…. I will be there come hell or high water!
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here, we will surely get together…….
Well I did hear from the DA’s office and this is what they said……
the judge acted on the motion to set a date, and that date is now June 17, which provides more than the 30 days required for a subsequent setting.
It’s too early to know the likelihood of it occurring on that date, which is horrible if you intend to travel.
I have some ideas of what to expect and there will probably be some surprises, but since there is no legal reason not to proceed, it is important not to delay
Are you saying that the execution date for Dean Hood is June 17th? Or is the judge meeting on that date to set a date for Dean’s execution? I am confused by what is termed “the motion to set a date” and would appreciate clarification. Thankyou very much.
as i have been told it is the 17th.
Article in today’s Houston Chronicle states that two execution dates have been set in Texas.
Charles Dean Hood , June 17 th.
Larry Donell Davis , July 31 st.
There probably will be more to come in the next few days.
He’s guilty!! I went to school with him and I saw how he treated his family. I also knew Dwayne and he was always quiet. He could never do anything like that! That’s why his sister has nothing to do with him either. He was trouble from day one and the biggest liar born!! He says he’s a Crhistian, he’s no more a Christian than Madlyn O’Hare!! He’s getting what he rightfully deserves!! I don’t see how his family could believe that he isn’t guilty!!
From,
Death Metal Heart
P.S. 86 the Bastard!!!
what is your real name. and why did he call you janell?
He called me Janell, because I had written to him as an alias….. I highly doubt he would have written back if he had known I was Tracie’s sister. My friends call me Jewels, cuz I am such a gem!
Darby, I was the one who told Hood you are insane. I read all your comments and I can´t believe that you are not living in the psychiatry! And I could just vomit when I have to read all your high insane betraying senseless shit to Big Sis!
I bet old Charlie is starting to sweat.
I sure hope so……. 48 days and counting.
Big Sis / Robbie,
On the website, scheduled executions, it lists Charley as June 17th, pending.
Why is it pending, is there still a possibility that he will get another stay, I thought he was through all his appeals ?
Do you have any info on this ?
[Editor --- Nothing I'm aware of. Perhaps they're all just "pending" until it actually happens.]
what website are you looking at? cuz the “scheduled executions” link is still blank…….
http://www.prodeathpenalty.com/Pending/scheduled_executions.htm
Big Sis,
This is the site, it is not only for Texas, it is the entire USA.
That’s not an official website. The death warrant was signed and delivered. The reason it doesn’t appear on the tdcj website is because they just haven’t gotten around to updating it.
It’s been awhile since I was last here so I decided to come in and say Hi to Darby and I see the shit is still going on.
To Anonymous. What are you some kind of ass hole? How do you live in the psychiatry? If you wrote to this Hood guy then you must be his pen pal too eh? You are the one that is insane. I know a little bit about this case cause I have been here before and read all of it and at no time did Darby EVER say anything to the Sis that was betrayal or senseless shit!
You could just vomit when you HAVE to read it? Who the hell said that you have to read anything? Frankly I’m surprised that you can read at all. She just thinks outloud and was trying to figure this murder out so leave her alone!
I think that you are that KMA pers0n or some creep like her/him talking your crap again under another name. Why don’t you use your real name when you talk your puke at someone instead of hiding behind the name “Anonymous” you sick twisted coward piece of shit.
Darby, Are you out there somewhere? I dropped by to talk to you and saw what dumb ass said so sorry but I hate people who talk down to you. You were gone from here for a long while then you surfaced in early March and said that you had surgery. I hope that you are alright and that it was nothing serious. Wish I had an email address so that we could talk a litte bit. I have some interesting information regarding Mr. Hood that you may want to know. Have you heard from him lately? Please respond when you see this. Oh yes I saw that he sent you a letter and you were going to post it and did not. The Sis said that she got her letter so you must have sent it to her. Glad you didn’t post it and I’ll tell you why if we can talk. Thanks, Tom
No Darby did not send it to me, just for everyones information. I asked Darby not to post it personally, as everyone knows that I do talk with Darby out side of here. I want to say that even though we disagree on the death penalty, we are able to discuss things. So I would appreciate it if when addressing your opinons to her you do it in an adult manner.
Tom….. I would like to know what is so secret that you could not share it here. There are NO secrets here….. say what you have to say.
46 days and counting……
The Not So Big Secret: He’s afraid that Hood’s letter might contain information that would hurt the possibility of Hood receiving another stay before his execution.
Hmmmm…. now that is interesting….. might hurt his chance for another stay? What will be will be…. But I think 3rd time is a charm… say good night and good bye Charles.
Did everyone join the Secret Service and not tell us????
There you go again Anonymous grasping at straws to find something out that is none of your damn business. If I wanted you to know something, would I have not written it in here? Stop trying to guess my lingo with Darby because you are too stupid to know what I was saying. Darby will understand because she knows how to read between the lines. Don’t bother writing to Mr. Hood either because it’s already been done. I doubt he would believe you anyway. If you will look up, you will see that Darby said that she got 2 letters from Mr. Hood, one for her which she said she can not talk about because he confided in her and one was for The Sis for her to post, which she did not. What do you expect her to do, type it in here to all you death lovers when she clearly said that she could not talk about HER letter because he confided in her so get a grip.
Friend, As I recall and just looked back for reference, you were talking down to Darby too and now you come up with some smart ass remark about the secret service. It’s none of your business either. Unless your name is Darby, I wasn’t talking to you.
Big Sis, I am not referring to you because you were just responding to “Shit for brains” If Darby didn’t send your part of the letter, you must have gotten it from Mr. Hood so what ever he wanted you to know, he told you. Also I would like to thank you for defending Darby with the ugly people in here throwing stones at her, though I doubt that they can act like adults, we will hope for the best. They should at least respect you of all people being a victim of your little sister’s murder.
Where is Darby? Are you still sick and if you are I sure hope you are alright. I’m starting to worry. The last few times I wrote in here on your behalf, you wrote me right back so I’m thinking that you are sick and can’t be bothered with this shit in here, but I sure hope you come in soon and get my messages. Thanks again, Tom
Tom Workman, or whatever the hell you call youself, I was making a general reference, if you are so close to Darby then call her….. & have a whine to her about it.
Workman’s a troll.
43 days and counting……….
Karma!
Friend, I call myself Tom Workman because that’s my name dummy. I don’t need to pick a stupid name for myself like you do. You are obviously scared to put your real name in here so you can sling your shit like a coward. If I knew Darby’s phone number, do you actually think that I would try to get a hold of her in here? Call her and have a whine to her about it? How do you have a whine to someone?
Anonymous, The word Troll is a verb used with an object. If you had a brain you would be dangerous.
You two should change your names to dumb and dumber.
Darby if you come in here, I would really like to talk to you. I do have something to tell you but right now I am more concerned with your health. I sure hope that you are alright. Please write when you can, I will be checking in here at night or early morning to see if you have responded yet. I may not comment to the ass holes in here because they are too stupid to know any better and how much can you say to the ignorant? No wonder you stopped talking in here, they are no match for you and it shows everytime one of them types in some stupid shit. The difference is I don’t care what I say to them because on a scale from 1 to 10, they owe us. My best to you, Tom
Look mate I don’t know you, never will, I have not to my knowledge ever really said anything nasty to anyone in here, I just have an interest in the Case….so get over it and move on
Whine is Australian slang for Bitching
The saying is: do you want some cheese to go with that whine
He can’t get over it an d move on — he’s a troll.
And judging by this comment: The difference is I don’t care what I say to them because on a scale from 1 to 10, they owe us. — He has serious psychological problems.
I have to say that I finally read Hood’s letter…… There was alot of “preaching” in that letter…… Though he still maintains that some other people were in the house, making accusations of it being a “dope house” why then was my sister’s toxicology report negative for any drugs. A rape kit was performed and it to was negative…… Why did my sister 2 weeks before her murder tell me that Dean made her nervous with him there… and that he was going to be asked to leave the household? I know I will never really know until I see my sister at the pearly gates, then and only then will I ever know the other side of the story….. I truely believe he is guilty.
He says in the letter that “God” has changed his life….. what the hell… what else does he have…. he may feel he has “changed” and yes he may very well feel he has changed, but it would not have happened had he still been free…… he himself said it in the letter. That does not excuse the fact he took 2 peoples lives. Weather he admits it or not, God knows what he did… and he will answer for it.
I am going to Texas, and I am sure it will be a very emotional situation but I am a very strong person and will get thru this too, just like all of the other things in my life…… Good Friends are always there, yes some of my friends feel it isn’t a good thing for me to do… as it will most likely bring alot of raw emotions to the top…. I have said since the day I was told my sister was murdered… that the son of a bitch that did it will be held accountable for their actions. I am not angry when I say that now…. at first very much so, so angry that for a while in my life it was almost consuming, thru good friends and professionals I have managed thru it.
It upsets me with the bickering….. there is NO need for name calling… I have asked that we act like adults …. I know that I too have been guilty of name calling but I think that if anyone has a reason for it I do, since my sister is unable to defend herself….. That is why I call myself “BIG SIS” I have always been very protective of my sisters I still am. Ranting and Ravings from people out in “left field” just bring out the worst in me….. that is just the way it is.. ….. You either like me or you don’t… if you like me cool… if you don’t leave me the fuck alone, don’t antagonize me…… just leave me alone.
I do respect everyones views on the dealth penalty, as we are all individuals and have our own opinions.
My other sister is planning on attending…. for her I have alot of concern…. she doesn’t talk about it much, holds alot in, unlike me who will voice what I feel….. One should always tell someone hou you feel about them; makes YOU feel better when they know.
well ……. 42 days and counting.
Big Sis,
Wishing you a safe and fullfilling trip to Texas , you have been waiting a very long time to see justice done.
I wonder if Charley will admit his guilt on the gurney , and if he will make eye contact with you and your sister.
Are any members of Ron’s family also going to be in Texas ?
Take care.
Yes I have waited a very long time to see justice done.. my sister has decided not to go. I also highly doubt he will make any eye contact, I don’t think he will be able to see us…. nor admit his guilt.
I am not sure but I think that Ron’s son Roger will be in attendence… thank you for your wishes on a safe and fullfilling trip.
YOU ARE GOING EXACTLY WHAT YOU DESERV E JUNE 17.IT IS ABOUT TIME YOU STYOPPED ALL YOUR LYING AND OWNED UP TO IT. QUIT BLAMING DWAYNE. YOU ARE A DOUBLE COLD BLOODED MURDERER AND THE STATE KNOWS IT. YOI ARE STALLING FOR TIME AND THEY KNOW IY TOO. RAAAAAY FOR TEXAS
37 days to go……. wonder what he is thinking about!
According to one of his penpals, he’s having a “really difficult” time right now. I’m sure those are her words and not his. He can’t spell worth a damn.
aahhhhh…… Charlie’s having a “difficult time” are we supposed to have a PITY party for him!
Charlie must be crapping his pants , imagine knowing the exact day and hour that you will be put to death , pretty scary stuff.
Charlie is having a real difficult time , living on death row in Texas for almost 20 years , now that is difficult !
He still maintains his innocence , he’s got 37 days left on this planet , if he is in fact innocent , why is he not kicking and screaming to the press and the politicians , I know I would be , to try and save my life.
He still
maintains his innocenceis lying his ass off …Fixed it for you.
Well in his letter to me he said he has written reporters, lawyers, politicians and only 3 in the last 18 yrs has anybody responded…. so what does that tell ya!
He will maintain his “innocence” til the end.
36 days and counting.
tdcj has updated their website and published the execution list. Of course, Hood is on it. Reading the synopsis of the crimes of the people on that list — they are all long over due to leave this world. Good riddance!
[Editor --- thanks for the tip.]
I did see that a couple of days ago…. was nice to see. I have been looking at airfairs, but I am still hesitant to purchase my ticket…. My luck the idiot would get another stay if i bought it now…. thats what happened last time.
My plans are to come down on the 15th and leave the 18th
35 days and counting…
[Editor --- Did you get my information?]
There are two executions scheduled before Hood’s that might assure you that his will go ahead. It’s still difficult since the airlines want reservations 30 days in advance for the best rates.
YES I DID GET YOUR INFORMATION…. THANK YOU.
Court as denied appeal.
[Editor --- I see that the court ruled on this yesterday. And denied his latest claim for appeal. That is tremendous news. Sounds like you should get ready to buy your ticket to Texas, Big Sis.]
Thank you for the information……. I knew he would try again… but alas it was denied AGAIN! I am looking into tickets.
Well I have my ticket….. waiting for the itinerary….. sure hope they reimburse me for it.
33 days and counting…… say good bye Charlie boy.
30 DAYS AND COUNTING!
I have my ticket….. 29 days and counting…..
28 days….. are you starting to sweat charlie as the inevidible draws closer and closer…………… I sure hope so.
Big Sis
Charlie must be sweating ” Big Time ” , imagine thinking about his date with the gurney , knowing how close it is, and not being able to do anything about it.
I must say that you are a very brave, determined person, good luck on your trip to Texas.
I would like to THANK those who have stood behind me, giving me the support, and the determination to see this thru.
The act of forgiveness takes a much stronger person
The act of forgiveness takes a much stronger person
Seeking justice for almost 19 years on behalf of one’s sister for takes a much stronger person. Implying that one must forgive the unrepentant and unremorseful murderer is the act of a selfish and unempathetic person.
You have no idea just how strong of a person I am, as I have said before The scum bag that murdered my sister will pay for what they have done, and when charlie boy’s life is taken from him as he did to Ron and Tracie…. justice will be served. You can think and /or say what you will, but UNLESS YOU HAVE WALKED IN MY SHOES you should keep them to yourself, as you have no flipping idea what it has been like to know that, that son of a bitch still breaths while my sisters young life was taken from her, in a cowardly fashion I must say….. Geez shooting someone in the head while they sleep is pretty cowardly, and shooting someone while their back turned shows just how much of a sniveling coward he is. Leathal injection is to kind, they scream about it being a cruel and unusual punishment… they certainly didn’t consider the cruelty of their crimes, the suffering it would cause…. unrepentant and unremorseful for their actions… no consideration, or respect for humanity. They deserve what they get.
You anti death penalty people are a bunch of idiots…. screaming about their right to life…… what about the VICTIMS what about their right to life, pull your head out of your ass, and get off the band wagon and find something productive to do for this world… instead of trying to get MURDERERS out to do further crimes against humanity. I wonder what you would do if you ran into one of these animals out of their cages and they caused the death of a loved one or caused your life to drastically change by almost causing your death….. wouldn’t you too want justice? Would you or could you “turn the other cheek”and forgive ? I don’t think so… but you’ll never know unless it happens to you. I pray it never does…….
[Editor --- Big Sis, I got your itinerary. My wife and I look forward to meeting you too, and helping you get through the difficult process of final closure. I'll be in touch over the next few days to start planning your arrival and stay in Texas.]
27 days…… The mental anguish of it all…… just a taste of what I have felt for the last 18 almost 19 years.
Robbie glad you got my itineray, man it wasn’t easy to find flights that didn’t cause me to be up 0300 hrs..
26 days……..til justice is served……
25 DAYS AND COUNTING DOWN……
24 days………
22 days…….. Its getting closer…….
Big Sis,
As the time draws near, for justice to be served, you must be feeling somewhat relieved from the eighteen years of frustration that you endured.
I hope this brings peace to you, and you find much happiness.
Have a safe trip.
I actually just read all of this today. I often check up on the death row inmates and their execution dates. First I want to say to you Big Sis that I am so tragically sorry for the loss you have suffered. I have never lost a family member to a murder but I have lost one to cancer. Not the same but the same void lives in you.
I have watched another family grieve after their family member was brutally murdered in 1993. The young man was my little sisters best friend and the whole process was just unreal. I followed each step of the case, trial and appeals like a madman. I just couldnt believe the bs that anyone can toss out there to save their skin. This tragedy took place in Denton Texas.
We watched his murderer go through appeal after appeal and two seperate stays for his mental retardation claim. Much like Charles Hood, his murderer seemed pretty competent until he thought he might actually die. They never even tried him for J.G.’s murder because they also murdered another young woman that was with him. He was tried for that murder instead. He was finally executed April of last year. The young ladies family did not attend the execution because they had let it go a long time before.
J.G.’s family however did attend. His sister called my little sister on the way home. She was almost in a state of shock. I think because there are so many emotions that you have to deal with besides watching another person draw their last breath. I know she said it became almost more painful at the point because she actually had to finally let it all go. I am glad the it gave them the closure they were seeking. But how does one ever get over the loss of another loved one to a tragedy.
I want you to know I am a very firm supporter of the death penalty. I believe God gave us free will but He also gave us the “Law of the Land” by which we are to abide. Some people do not know how to live inside that law.
I wish you nothing but Godspeed on your journey. I wish I had found this link long ago. If I have spoken out of turn, I am sorry but I felt the need to post you. I will keep you in my prayers on that day and pray for your safe travels.
Darby& Wendy
I am sorry that you will lose your friend and loved one on that day. I hope you understand that while you are against the death penalty there are many that are for it. No matter how you look at it..everyone loses for one persons mistake.
Joy… Thank you for the post….
I just wanted to say that some of my friends fear that attending the execution will be to much for me, in that it will bring back alot of repressed emotions…. It very well may, but I am a very strong person and I do have my support people in place. I have seen much death in my lifetime, I totally know what to expect and as he takes his last breath…. I will be smiling knowing that Justice will finally be served. It may sound cold and unempathic to some but that is just the way it will be. I will be the only one from my family going…. My sister and mother have long let it go, saying he is already dead in their minds….. but not mine
I do have empathy for Darby and Wendy for their loss. As you previously stated that everybody loses for one persons mistake.
Ron….
Yes I do feel some relief in knowing that the frustration will be gone, and justice will be served….. I don’t think that if I were to be absent from the execution that I would be able to find peace with it….. One of the main reasons I am going….. is to have closure.
wanna hear something ironic…… his execution date is 6-17 and Tracies birthday is 7-16
Big Sis;
Wow that is irony..or maybe just your Sisters way of letting you know she is there. I wish you all the strength you will need on that day. I will check in here to see how it goes. I am glad you will have Robbie and his Family for you while you are in Texas. I dont think you should probably be alone afterwards. You may be a strong person as am I, but even strong people need to get support sometimes.
I guess losing my little sister to Leukemia and getting 21 days to deal with it was much smoother than getting 21 seconds to process her being murdered.
My e-mail address is linked if you ever want to talk. Robbie I am sure can pull it up for you.
God Bless!
Sissy is with me everyday of my life….. I carry her on my Right shoulder…… and in my heart.
I agree that having support is important, no matter how strong a person one is. I had several people ask if they could be my support person, but I wanted and asked Robbie to be that person…. he has been a wonderful friend, I thank him for this blog as it has given me the outlet that was SO much needed to vent frustration and anger.
My condolences on the loss of your sister, it is always hard to lose someone you love, no matter how it occured. Just know she watches over you everyday and will always be in your heart.
[Editor --- Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully we can make this trip a little more comfortable and easy for you than it's going to be...]
This is my first time on this web site. I am Canadian and always been against the death penalty. I have read most of what has been written. I cannot believe that this has gone on for this long. What seems weird to me is that Sis is actually communicating with supporters of this killer.Yes, I mean killer, I do not have the case file on hand but the 911 call, the bloody fingerprint, the stolen car and no explanation?
I cannot imagine the police would fabricate so much evidence. To get to my point I was sickend by the letter that Charles wrote. If he really cared about the victim why would he demonize her by saying that she was a cocaine hore? What was his intent? It is clear that he has no remorse for his actions. I do agree that the D.A probably lied about alot of things that can’t be proved but that is the court system. Stick to the evidence. If you haven’t noticed all death row inmates say they are innocent. To get to the point again I can’t imagine what the purpose of this web site is for? If it was for support for the victim than I would understand. But you weirdos that keep on writting fluff in support of Charles “get a life” Sis is keeping her sister’s memory alive this way. And also Stop your crying about name calling BIG BABIES what do you expect when you support a killer. At the beginning I said that I didn’t believe in the death penalty I LIED just to make sure that you read everything that I wrote I HOPE HE SUFFERS IN HELL burn baby burn
PSYCH!!!! You can’t imagine what the purpose of the web site or this thread with in this site? Well Robbie has a lot of opions on things and I am sure there are many others have opions on those things..Its like a big debate… As for this thread….. to me it is support… thru these threads i have been able to vent frustration, anger, and speak for my sister and to some point for Ron also….. I have met good people here and some not so good… but the support and understanding that I have received are priceless.
There have been times when the “weirdos” have attacked my sisters character… I refuse to sit by and let it happen and wished I could have been the yellow pages and reached out and touched em!
I want any and everybody that reads this to know that Tracie was a loving, kind, sweet, nieve person….. and she is greatly missed. I really miss her coming up and putting her arm around my shoulder and saying this is my little big sis! She was at least 4 inches taller than myself and it used to make me smile when she would do that…. she had a light about her that would just warm your heart…… those are memories /feelings that no one can take from me.
Robbie posted a separate thread for sissy with her picture ….. so that people could put a face with her name… it isn’t as popular as this thread but it is there and it gives me some peace knowing it is there.. maybe more people look at than I know, and maybe they just don’t know what to say……
I have a space at http://www.findagrave.com for anyone who would like to post a note at that site it’s all part of the healing process for me. If you do decide that is something you would like to do she is in the unfamous and you just have to type in her name and state which is michigan.
Sometimes I feel like this is my personal journal… my appologies if I ramble but it is good to let others know how one feels….I know it makes me feel good to let others know…… weather you agree with what i am saying or not….
I am sure that once this is over i will most likely write about my experience, it will help because that means I can finish the healing by sharing those feelings and thoughts.
Take care everyone………….
Excellent post Big Sis. We all do what we need to do to heal and to let people know how wonderful our loved ones were and how important they are to our lives.
I wish you nothing but the best with your healing and your journey!
21 days,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
O-\—-<
I’m sorry for your loss “big sis”, this is a terrible thing to happen to anyone.. And it sure as hell isn’t fair..I don’t think anyone could know how it truly feels unless they have gone through the same thing as you..
I think if it would’ve happened to me~ I would have lost my mind and gone to a mental institution.. I know that there’s some individuals in the world that dont belive in the death penalty, those are the individuals that have never lost anyone to murder, or rape etc.. And I know that if this did happen to me, I would want the person to be executed as well.. for fear they may get out and it may happen to someone else..
by the way, I couldn’t find the pic of Tracie.. I looked everywhere.. are you sure he posted it..
p.s. travel safe and be careful.. lots of love
[Editor --- The post about Tracie can be found here.]
Sorry Sis Im confused who started this web site? It doesn’t say at the beginning. Robbie who is Robbie? I also would like to apoligize for questioning this web site my intent was not to bash you. Im sure it’s very therapeutic having some type of forum were you can share opinions and keep your sister’s memory alive. I should of told you that I am French Canadian, English is my second language I do not always choose my words correctly. I too had too live through my own personnel nightmare. The only difference is you will have closure and justice will be done. US is tough on crime, not Canada.The murderer that killed my friend got 12 years in prison for 2 degree murder. What kind of justice is that? Hope you get some relief on your second birthday.
Robbie is the editor of this blog….. Rants and observations of a conservative biker and military veteran living in liberal Austin….. i found this site totally by chance….. i did a name search and happened to stumble across this site, which I will be so ever greatful for. you have no idea how much it has helped me thru this.
No offense taken about the purpose of the blog thread.. I just had to tell you how i felt about it….. i usually do!
My condolences on the loss of your friend… it is a hard thing to deal with.
20 days……
19 days
Dev, Why did you think that you had to lie to get your post read? I have read them all, some good, some not so good. I have been in here several times looking for Darby and finally found her. I also wrote to Mr. Hood and he is not upset at all. I got a very calm letter from him saying that he has one more appeal they are going to file and that faith will be done the way God wants it to be carried out. Darby wrote to him long before she met the Big Sis but she also understood how the Sis felt, and how Mr. Hood felt.
I don’t believe in the death penalty because we kill people to tell them that it isn’t right to kill and that makes no sense to me at all.
Darby is ill right now and at home resting so if anyone has a message for her, I will gladly see that she gets it.
18 days !
I have a message for Darby.. contact me Tom please @
whisperingdragon32@yahoo.com
Does that mean that Darby will not be going to Texas ??
Another appeal…. how surprizing! What possible “appeal can he file now? More bullshit no doubt…. he needs to grow some balls and accept the punishement like a man.
Darby has been ill for quite a while now, as every one knows I talk with Darby…..
Oh and I almost forgot……. 17 days…..
Jackass may try to appeal the latest TCCA ruling. However, since it was denied on jurisdictional grounds, his chances of them hearing it are zero to none. He is also requesting a pardon based on claims of procedural errors. For some reason he thinks that the the board of pardons is going to reconsider purely legal grounds already denied by multiple courts. Also, a dead bang loser.
gRASPING AT STRAWS! OH HOW SAD…… NOT….. JUSTICE WILL FINALLY BE SERVED.
Thank you Big Sis ….for sticking up for Darby again. I will give a message to Darby from HERE and not write to anyoneto get some bogus message that she doesn’t need to hear. Friend, Why would Darby go to Texas to watch the State murder her friend??
Some of you people absolutely fracture me with your comments. She would only go if Charles asked her to come. He knows she is ill also and already told her not to come. His parents were just there and he doesn’t want them to watch him die either. Darby has been in touch with Charles’s Mother also and they talk on the phone. I’m sure that his brother will be there. Big Sis, I’m sorry for your loss and the other Families loss, and I’m sorry for the Hoods loss. This is a no win situation.
Thank you Big Sis ….for sticking up for Darby again.
Big Sis did not stick up for Darby again, because nobody attacked her. Stop making crap up, troll.
Hey Ass Hole, Are you the one that wants to send Darby a message via email?? I don’t think so. The Sis DID stick up for Darby by saying that they talk outside this Arena. I take that as leave her alone, we are friends. If you can’t read between the lines, you are stupider than even I thought you were. Friend made a comment Stop taking up space with your idiotic remarks and quotes. You can call me anything you want and it doesn’t offend me at all. I think it’s funny how you act in here, you are trailer trash and nothing more.
Again, no one attacked darby. One person asked that you send a message for her which you, who are only here to cause shit, claim was an attack. You only come here to insult people — several who are Hood’s supporters. Smart, you are not.
I just stated a fact that Darby has been ill and that we do talk, Darby is quite capable of sticking up for herself, in a manner that isn’t argumentative or name calling, just her thoughts, which all of are entitled to.
it is a no win situation for all families involved… including Deans. I only want to see that justice is served…. As for Dean not wanting his parents there to see him die…. i can relate to that.
I haven’t heard anything from Darby lately, I imagine that soon I might hear from her…. I don’t think that it is so much that she is a supporter, I know she doesn’t believe in the DP, I think its more of wanting to know what makes us tick so to speak. A quest for knowledge…..
I have my ticket and will be flying out the 14th of June, unless something happens…….
Uh, she is his supporter and has stated on another forum that he is innocent. Unfortunately, posts more than 2 months are deleted.

Charles Dean Hood
Fri Apr 25, 2008 9:34PM
68.42.228.244
Charles Dean Hood is my friend and they are going to kill him to let him know that it’s wrong to kill. My heart is aching. I talked to his Mother today and she told me that the voice heard on the 911 call was NOT Charles’s. I believe him to be innocent and I know that his trial was not a fair one. If you have not read the article “Ardor in the Court” then please do. This is going to be an irreversible error when they kill him. I have written to the Governor, and the President begging them to at least read that article and give him a new trial. So many things were not allowed in because the Judge and the lead Attorney were having an affair at the time of his trial. There is a blog for him called Urbangrounds and they are just having a party in there about the new date and wish he would rot in hell. All they can do is kill him, they can’t make him rot in hell because Charles is a Christian and if God takes him, that is where he will be. I’m devastated….Darby
Geez….I ask one question… Tom Workman….beleive it or not I thought she might of been going….every time someone says anything you take it as an attack on Darby.
Anonymous, hey you must be a member of People against the Death Penalty. Congrats on you being against it too. Darby did not write that in there but a friend of hers did. She joined under her name because Darby told her she could. She didn’t authorize her to say anything on there though and will be surprised that she did so Thanks for printing it on here. Friend, I’m sorry for lashing out at you, it just sounded like you were kind of being a smart alec about her going there. She is much too ill to go anywhere and if she were to go, she would have gone with the Bib Sis I’m sure as they are friends and would probably want to travel together. I’m by no means dumb or stupid so you can whistle that in the wind Anonymous. As far as me giving Darby a message, sure I’ll write to you at your email address and get your message but if it’s not nice, she will never get it.
Sis, You understand Darby better than anyone in here and what you said is absolutely true, all she ever wanted to do was understand.
She joined under her name because Darby told her she could. She didn’t authorize her to say anything on there though and will be surprised that she did so
This has to be one of the dumbest lies you have posted on this blog of the many dumb lies you have posted.
Darby did not write that. A friend of hers joined the group that doesn’t believe in the death penalty under her name, with her approval. Glad that you put it in here as you must be a member too. She doesn’t think that her friend wrote anything in there but I’ll read it to her. Friend, I’m sorry that I said anything to you but it just looked a little like you were being a smart alec the way you said it. She is much to ill to travel and if she were going, I’m sure she would fly with the Big Sis because they are friends and why not travel together. Bib Sis, You are exactly right about Darby and know her better than the rest in here. All she ever wanted was to understand.
Repeating the same lie does not make it, or you, more credible. You previously confirmed that you will say anything:
I don’t care what I say to them because on a scale from 1 to 10, they owe us
Okay everyone…. here is my opinon on the above posts…..
I don’t believe that Darby wrote that…. Only because I have communication with her and that is not how Darby talks. I have talked to Darby alot so I think I know what I am talking about. I’m not saying I am right, there is a small possiblity that I am wrong… but I doubt it. I just sent that quote to Darby…. I will hear it straight from her until then……. Tom is correct in saying that I understand that ALL Darby wants is to understand.
You all can bicker about it if you want….. Does it really flipping matter? It doesn’t to me….. Justice will be served.
In your opinion, that may not be how darby talks. However, it is definitely how darby writes. Darby believed that by not stating unequivocally that she believed Hood innocent, it gave her opinions more credibility. She came here thinking she could convince people that Hood was not guilty and /or didn’t deserve the death penalty (wrong on both counts). I have heard many family members of murder victims complain that they are targeted on the internet by those opposed to the death penalty. They insert themselves into the mvs life and hope they can change their minds about the dp and it will stop the execution. Failing that, the mvs can still be used as a new poster boy/girl against the death penalty.
Forgot to add: No one need to register on that forum using anyone else’s name. That’s just silly.
Well if she did say it, then I guess she said it and I am a dumb ass for talking to her about it….. But in my heart I know that Dean killed my sister….. 2 weeks before my sister died I spoke with her on the phone, she called me….. She told me about Dean and how nervous/uneasy she felt with him around… and that Ron was going to ask him to leave, because all he wanted was what he could get and didn’t want to better himself…… Also for 6 months prior to her death.. I had a reoccuring dream that someone got into the house and shot me in the head while I slept….. THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED TO SISSY! I told her to be careful and don’t be alone with him…. well we all know what happened… So really to me I have NO DOUBT that he killed my sister and Ron. Dean would have never “turned Christian” had he not been put where he is…… he himself said that in his letter to “Janell”. So to me it just doesn’t matter.
Big Sis, Please don’t say you are a dumb ass for talking to Darby, I assure you she didn’t say those things. If you sent her a direct email, she will tell you herself so please do not listen to Anonymous who is only trying to break up your friendship. She is just a stupid ass that should be ignored. Thank you for sticking up for her yet again above. You do know her better than anyone in here and you are not wrong about her. She is trying so hard to understand and one day she may but doubtful because of her thoughts on the death penalty. She is a really good person who wants to help you and told me that you probably should not go to Texas but understands you need to see for yourself. As you and I know what she does for a living, and that is between us only and not to be said in here, you know that this case is hard for her but she IS your friend and understands your feelings. I’m getting to know her and she has confided in me some things but probably not as much as she has in you. She has her opinions about every last person in here and thinks more of you than anyone and knows that the editor Robbie or what ever his name is, is being nicer to her since you said what you said earlier and I thank you for that and I thank Robbie for trying to understand Darby also even though he also wants Mr.Hood dead. I will go for now and write to her also as it’s too late to call her. Thanks again Big Sis.
How can anyone claim to have “turned Christian” and continue to lie about the fact that they murdered two people? And lie about it for 19 long years?
you probably should not go to Texas
Wrong. Sounds like Hood is afraid of confronting you. Good!
You would love to think that he is not a Chrisian wouldn’t you? Who says he is lying? You were not there so shut the hell up about him will you. The man is going to die for killing two people that he says he didn’t kill. When you are facing death, what else is there to be afraid of stupid, you think he is afraid of someone watching him die?? He knows who will be there and is not afraid to face anyone as you would like to think. He is very calm about this and not upset at all as you would also like to think. What do you want him to do, sit there and cry like a baby when he knows full well that when he leaves this world, he will be in a much better place than death row. Mr.Hood will hopefully die peacefully and take his place in Heaven and that is what upsets you. He paid the price here on Earth by spending 18 years on Death Row and then getting murdered by all you death lovers, but know this, he will never have to pay anymore and all you people can have a party to celebrate his murder. As for me, I will be on the phone with Darby trying my best to comfort her as she loses her pen pal. She told me that she can’t imagine not getting a letter from him or mailing one out to him as they have for over 4 years now. There will be an article out soon done by the Associated Press who went to do an interview with Mr. Hood and I suggest you all read it, maybe you will have second thoughts too as I do.
Who says he is lying?
A mountain of evidence says he is lying. Your “beatification” of Hood is ridiculous. What’s next? St. Charlie? And yes, I think he is afraid to face Tracie’s sister and doesn’t want her there .
I couldn’t care less about his emotional state. However, his other scumpals say he isn’t doing so well. Unlike you, they don’t have an axe to grind and haven’t gone on record stating: I don’t care what I say to them because on a scale from 1 to 10, they owe us
Even among scumpals he has a reputation of being difficult. He uses them and tosses them aside. He has a date with the executioner in a couple of weeks and he’s still on the prowl for new ones. He’s been interviewed by the press many times before. It’s always the same old lies.
Okay…. you all know that I wrote to Darby about that post, I will be talking to her later tonight. In no way did Darby write that. She has always been honest with me, I will say that I believe her. She said that she felt he didn’t get a fair trial, but in no way did she post that, and the person that did is going to hear about it…. Darby didn’t think it would be any big deal, but she admitted she was wrong. I know she follows along but doesn’t write in here. She and I have different opinions regarding the DP. She herself has doubts about his innocence and that is straight from Darby.
As for going to the execution….. its already a done deal….. the only way i would not be in attendence is if I were dead! There will be no “party”, and I am aware that there will be some emotional difficulties on my part….. but it is part of the healing process, something I have to work thru, which I am quite capable of doing. final closure on this matter will finally happen.
Anonymous, Did you happen to see the mountain of evidence against O.J.Simpson and still the jury let him walk? Not every jury see’s things the same way. Just becuse they let Simson walk doesn’t mean he didn’t do it, and they can call someone guilty and that doesn’t mean that they are. So much for your theory. Let’s face it, you want all who are told they are guilty to die. There was a man in Michigan that spent 26 years in Prison for a rape he didn’t do. Barry Schek came to Michigan and with DNA testing, the man got out last week, and his jury found him guilty too. Juries can be wrong and just because a jury says so, doesn’t make a man innocent or guilty. You were not there so you don’t really know if he did it or not. The only one that knows for sure is Charles and God. Why don’t you for once shut up about things that you know nothing about.
Not every jury see’s things the same way.
Not surprisingly, you make no sense. That the OJ jury found him not guilty is irrelevant to the fact that Hood was found guilty. My personal opinion on Hoods’ guilt, or on any defendant’s, is not dependent on the jury findings, but on the evidence, the law, and the appellate decisions.
So much for your theory.
No theory. Hood’s guilty.
Why don’t you for once shut up about things that you know nothing about.
Follow your own advice.
No body said the justice system is perfect, yes mistakes can happen, just not in this case. Like I said in my post dated 6/1/08, I have no doubt that he did it.
You two will agree to disagree.
You’re right Big Sis, I will never agree with what it says. I’ m glad that you got your answer from Darby and that you two are going to talk tonight. Talk to you later. Tom
I’ve been writing Charles D. Hood since 2004… ~W
Hi, Tom, I just noticed your post and I will try to answer some of your questions. Well Tom I lied because I wanted Charles supporters to pay close attention to what I was saying and also I wanted to rattle a few cages. I really feel special that you chose me to talk about your experience on this site. Knowing that you have read posts that were good and not so good really really matters to me and that calm letter that you received from Mr.Hoodlum really touched me. PS WHAT THE HELL DO I CARE. Why are you even bringing that up? Keep that nonsense for your Psychiatrist… Yes Tom we kill criminals who commit serious crimes. We kill for political reasons,religious reasons, or land etc…It’s been like that since the start of time and will be that way till the end of time. We are not living in a Barney World. And Tom I am glad that you brought up Darby like you usually do, I feel that you share the same brain. I have quite a few issues concerning Darbie. First of all, on March 11, 2008 she comments that Mr. Hoodlum might be innocent and Texas might be executing an innocent man. With all the overwhelming evidence against Mr. Hoodlum EX the flowers purchased with the victims credit card, the Cadillac that he was apprehended in 800 miles away,the DNA evidence etc… What does the evidence mean to Darby? Why does she refuse to acknoledge those findings Why is she still in doubt? Can she be that naive? Is she afraid to ask Charles the tough questions or is she afraid to find out the truth? It is clear that her P.H.D is not in Criminology. I was also wondering why Charles? I have never heard her comment on any other death row inmate. Does she interact with other death row inmates? Or does she have a thing for Charles. Was she also looking for fun? Was she charmed by a sociopath? Or is she just one of Charles GROOPIES. Should we expect a wedding in the near, near futur? Another thing I would like cleared up is on March 7, 2008 quoting Darby ” To get into Heaven you must do 3 things” 1)Believe that Jesus died on a cross for you 2) Be Baptized in the trinity 3) Obey the commandments witch God made abundantly clear. Well that is fine for people that are Catholic but what about us who fallow a different faith? Are we going to Hell? How about all the good people of the world EX the Canadians, American, Chinese, Iranians, Iraqis and the Pakistanis with different beliefs are they all going to Hell? And what about the police officers, doctors the citizens of the United States that believe in the Death Penalty are they going to Hell and the soldiers who fought in world wAR 1 and 2 to make a world a better place for us. Are they going to Hell? And Charles who read the Bible a couple of times”maybe” and interpret it in a way that brings him comfort isn”t going to Hell? It’s all starting to make sense to me now. Does Darby no something that the rest of the world doesn’t Well Darby, no one has those answers. Im actually surprised that she even wrote that comment in her blog. Im starting to believe she might have a P.H.D in “stupidity” If Charles believes in the Bible did he skip over John 8:32 (Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free) Maybe someone should run that one by Mr. Hoodlum just in case he missed it. I also wanted people who think the lethal injection is painless sometimes it isn’t. It can be quite groosome check out BOTCHED EXECUSIONS That is something we can all pray for. I also want Osama bin Laden to suffer does that make me a Psych… PS if Darby is offended by anything that I wrote she should have though about that before she got emotionally involved with a lying sociapath.
you ramble alot.. ~W
Ramble? No. Dev made a number of very good points.
There are many more pro-murder forums than pro justice forums like this one. The pro-murder forums will not allow any facts about the murderers’ crimes. Anyone who dares to interject reality into the forum is automatically banned. Yet, the murderer lovers feel compelled to come to blogs like these and share their warm and fuzzy deluded feelings about their stone cold murderers.
warm??? fuzzy??? about “THEIR” stone cold murderers?? that’s a good one…lol.. the state of Texas owns Charles Dean Hood.. what the heck are you on???
ya, he or she DID make a few good points.. enough to make a novel about it.. good God.. on top of that admiting he or she lied from the beginning.. ~W
No, Dev didn’t lie. She used a rhetorical device. What the heck were you on in grade school when they taught it? As to making good points, you have yet to make any.
The State of Texas may own Hood , but you scumpals will always own his heart — and the body fluids he likes to send you gals! And, yes, I say “THEIR.” Half of them claim to be engaged to the murderer. Here’s something within your field of “expertise” …. how hard up do you have to be to troll death row for a relationship?
Oh my God.. this is hilarious..lol… Dev ADMITTED he or she lied YOU BLIVERING IDIOT.. how do you KNOW it’s a she??? is it YOU??? rhetorics?? for God sakes ARE YOU TRYING TO SOUND SMART???.. what was I “on” in GRADE school?? ha ha ha ha!!! that’s toooo funny.. just because people write to Charles Dean Hood doesnt mean they are “in love” with him for God sakes. You have a perverted mind. Damn sicko. “troll death row???” lol.. oh my God.. great choice of words..lol.. listen to yourself.. lol”scumpals” ha ha ha.. “own his heart” this is so damn funny!!! omg.. keep going.. I havent laughed this hard since…. well, 5 minutes ago when I READ THE OTHER CRAP YOU POSTED… HE HE HE~W
“RETORICAL DEVICE????” AAAHHH HA!! THAT SOUNDS LIKE A TAZER!! HE HE HE .. OH MY GAWD!!!!
Hey MR. Anonymous it’s quite late does mommy now your still up.
You’re right. I don’t know whether Dev is male or female, nor do I care. I do know that you, like most of the scumpals that have posted here, are not the sharpest tool around.
what was I “on” in GRADE school?? ha ha ha ha!!! that’s toooo funny..
I shouldn’t have assumed that you attended or completed grade school, as your posts clearly demonstrate you’re reading comprehension and writing skills are well below that of an 8th grader.
I guess I rattled the cage to hard the jack ass is angry.”what a sight you stupid BAFFON.”
Well Dev my boy, I will try to answer a few of your questions. This first one is a freebie…You are without a doubt the biggest ass hole I have met in here, and a lying one too so why should I believe anything that you say? But anyway, about the Bible verse that Darby quoted. It is in John 14:5, read it. Yes the jews that do not believe in Jesus Christ and all atheists are not going to be with Jesus in Heaven. They will get 5 years to make up their minds on the day the Heaven’s open and they see for themselves that Jesus does indeed exist. Many Religions believe that Jesus died for us as he most certainly did so if you believe that, you are OK, if not, you are not OK. The muslims beieve in Allah, which may be God to them, but not according to the Bible which is the only book we are supposed to read, the King James Bible is the true Bible so I suggest you read it before you die so you can make a decision to die with grace and be in a good place with the Lord, or you can not believe in Jesus and go somewhere else that The Lord is not. It doesn’t matter what any of us believe, the Bible tells what is the truth and what is a lie so believe what you want, like I care beause I know where I’m going and I’m sure I won’t see you there. I don’t care if people are from Japan, Iraq, or anywhere, they ain’t getting to Heaven if they do not believe in Jesus Christ, are babtised and follow the Commandments. She was right. I’m not Catholic and she is. It makes no difference if you are or aren’t it’s who you believe in.
You are right about Darby’s PHd, it is not in law and believe me, you would just shit if you knew. The only two people in here that know are The Big Sis and myself. Darby is a very smart lady who does her job very well.
In John 8:32 it says that the truth will set you free, but you forgot to read the rest of the passage that tells the Jews about believing in him and what will happen if they don’t. Everybody wants to quote the Bible but forget to finish like An eye for an eye, then they stop, but if you continue, you will see that Jesus does NOT believe in an eye for an eye, he asks us to turn the other cheek. You can not tell me anything about the Bible ass hole, because I know it well and so does Darby. She is as faithful as they come. One more thing, if you start on her again and say what you said about her and her Phd, you are going to have a real problem from me Pal. We don’t share the same brain, but I am a professional also and we do kind of think alike. I can’t do her job and she can’t do mine. I agree with one of the Anonymous’s that this is funny and you are stupid.
Big Sis, ,If Darby didn’t call you tonight, I know that she was watching the Red Wing game and it went into 3 overtimes so be patient until tomorrow and that’s only IF she didn’t call you tonight.
One more thing that I didn’t address idiot, War is in the Bible so to kill the enemy is self defence but the ones that blow up themselves with a suicide jacket are going straight to hell with everyone else that does not believe in Jesus. You really need to get a life. Bye
Why is relion such a hot topic? As far as I am concerned it is not about religion… but about justice…… So knock it off, PLEASE.
When the facts aren’t on your side, argue the law.
When the law isn’t on your side, argue facts.
When neither the law nor facts are on your side, argue religion.
Cheese and Rice anyways…… This bickering about religion is getting very OLD. What does justice have to do with religion? NOT A DAMN THING……. But I see the point you are trying to make.
Tom Workman, do you have a kindergarden crush on Darby?? lol
What…What….What are you saying Tommy Boy. Have some respect for other religions. You sound like a racist. “If you’re not a Catholic you’re going to Hell.” Listen to your self. You speak like you wrote the Bible. When you walk down the street is that how you view people of different religions? The next time someone asks you who goes to Haven or Hell just tell them you fallow the Bible teachings don’t start interpret your own fanatic views. Im not debating your religion, “nim wit” I do have standards. Have some dignity man. Who goes to Haven or Hell is a very difficult subject to debate. Your fanatic views on who goes to Hell are very offensive and very simplistic. And Tommy let me ask you did mommy ever lie to you? Were you upset when you found out that Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny were not real? Why don’t you get angry when Charles lies? Get Over IT “you missed the point” And what exactly do you think I lied about in my last post? Be discriptive….Tommy boy I can tell that you are not a Mental Giant and you have some serious anger issues. I am wondering exactly what you ment by “If you start on her”Darby” I am going to have a real problem PAL? Can you be that stupid? If you ever threaten me in any way I will contact the Police so dam quick your head will spin. You may now about me but you don’t now me Pal. It is ok for Charlie to Demonize his victims But we have to tip-toe around Darby. “You ain’t seen nothing yet”. It appears that anytime someone opposes your view or Darby’s you start using profanity with no substance. Be discriptive you fall of track and you start sounding like a little school girl with no point. And for those with a short attention span I will try minimize my blogs from now on.
DEV,
We all know that you’ve been LYING on here from the begining, you openly admit to it almost after every time you post something .. your opinion makes no sence.. it’s like your just venting your own personal frustration on strangers..Nobody on here is listening to you anymore. I dont know if you want some attention or what.. but here is not the place for Religion, or politics or threats etc.. this is about Charles Dean Hood and his execution.. you may want to try “myspace” if you want to pick fights with people, I hear its a great place for that. by the way.. this is NOT TOM..
also, stop writing these ‘NOVELS’ ON HERE.. MAN ALIVE, YOUR CRAP IS LONG AND DRAWN OUT BULLSHIT!!
We all know that you’ve been LYING on here from the begining,
Lie.
you openly admit to it almost after every time you post something ..
Another lie.
your opinion makes no sence..
And another lie.
it’s like your just venting your own personal frustration on strangers..
Projection.
Nobody on here is listening to you anymore.
Huge whopper of a lie.
I dont know if you want some attention or what.. but here is not the place for Religion, or politics or threats etc..
More projection. Plus, as to religion/politics/threats — talk to the Tom & Darby show.
this is about Charles Dean Hood and his execution..
This post is about a lot of things. Now, you’ve made it all about yourself.
you may want to try “myspace” if you want to pick fights with people, I hear its a great place for that.
Follow your own advice.
by the way.. this is NOT TOM..
Are we supposed to care?
also, stop writing these ‘NOVELS’ ON HERE.. MAN ALIVE, YOUR CRAP IS LONG AND DRAWN OUT BULLSHIT!!
One, who are you to tell others what they may or may not post or that they must limit the number of words in what they do?
Two, Darby & Tom hold the records for as you put it “NOVELS” and “CRAP IS LONG AND DRAWN OUT BULLSHIT!!” Complain to them.
Mr. Anonymous, can you please tell me what I am lying about? I really hope someone from the Darby fan club can answer that. It is getting to be a very boring response. If you are offended about the issues that I want to discuss or debate don’t read my blog anymore. Im interacting with Tom “mind your own buisness” If you can’t handle a bit of drama go away.
HMMMM… these posts are way out in left field….. they don’t even relate to the issue…..
They do in the sense that they are made by those who oppose the execution of Hood. Unfortunately, the TCCA has granted a stay to the execution scheduled today. They creep argued that Texas has changed their protocal and it has not be reviewed by the courts and that they are challenging LI as cruel and unusual on state grounds. They will not prevail on either issue. However, I don’t know how this will effect the scheduling of Hood’s execution on 6/17. I’m terribly sorry that they are doing this to you and the Williamson family again.
The tdcj says they have not changed the protocol, so that issue should be dismissed quickly.
Well I have not heard from any of the officials that let me know what is going on so I am not going to worry about it unless I hear it officially.
I guess we’ll see what happens…
Why I guess we will now won’t we! I wish you two anonymous’s would distinguish yourselves… It guess confusing as to who is who….. So you can be Anonymous “A” for against, and the other anomymous can be “P” for pro. If I am incorrect just let me know rain cloud.
arent we a little bossy
i dont think so… running wolf
Getting a little catty aren’t you bitch or is it bastard which one dinglenut…. IF ANYBODY IN THIS BLOG HAS A RIGHT TO BE BOSSY IT’S ME……. NOW GO FIND THE ROCK YOU CRAWLED OUT FROM AND CRAWL BACK IN……
GO KISS OFF…………………. YOU HIDE BEHIND “ANONYMOUS” YOU CHICKEN SHIT MOTHER FUCKER, I GO BY BIG SIS… EVERYONE KNOWS WHO I AM…. I DON’T HIDE LIKE A PIECE OF SHIT ON THE BOTTOM OF A SHOE……
So you want to get snotty with me…… you go right ahead cuz you don’t mean anything to me…. the only thing that matters to me is that justice is done….. you put your 2 cents worth in and it’s not even worth a penny…. So you don’t like me being bossy…. TOUGH SHIT YOU AIN’T LIVED THRU WHAT I HAVE FOR THE LAST 18 YEARS.
TRACIES BIG SISTER JULES!
OH I ALMOST FORGOT……. EXACTLY 2 WEEKS FROM TODAY! IT WILL BE A DONE DEAL!
Geez where do I start?? I’ll start with Dev boy, You don’t know how to read, No where in my post did I say that all Catholic’s go to Heaven and all who are not go to hell. Re read my post ass hole. The question of who or who isn’t going to Heaven is as simple as it gets. You either believe or you don’t. You figure out where you are going. You said that you thought that Darby has a PHd in “Stupidity” and that is what I’m talking about Pal. Go ahead and try to sue me but I can damn guarantee it won’t work. If you slander her name again, you will be dangerously close to doing something illigal and I know about these things so just leave her name out of it from now on unless you can be nice. You sound like a total idiot saying that when I walk down the street, do I judge people of different Religions. How the hell do you know by looking at someone on the street what they believe in and what they don’t?
I don’t judge anyone, if I did I couldn’t do my job so shut the hell up already.
Now to both Anonymous’s, You need to leave the Sis alone because she is going through something and you have no right to tell her how or what to think. If Mr. Hood gets a stay for whatever reason, then so be it and if he doesn’t, then she will still have her day. Big Sis, Good for you!!! I couldn’t have said it better myself. Your wording is priceless to say the least.
The rest of you can take all your frustrations out on me and leave the Sis and Darby alone. They are friends and they help each other so I don’t want to see another angry word about those two in here. Talk to the hand.
Go ahead and call me names cause I don’t care about not a one of you but Sis and Darby because they have class which in here is hard to find.
There is nothing to say about Darby because she is sick and not talking in here to you idiots anymore, and Sis has the right to speak her peace to whomever crosses her path. You started it and she finished it. LOL LOL GOOD JOB SIS !!!!
My name is Tom Workman and I approved this message. lol
ROTFLMAO……. I have been fighting this fight for quite a while now and have no intention of backing down from anyone in here….. I can only be civil to people in here so long….. and then I gotta say what I gotta say.
I am a very strong person, always have been always will be, otherwise i think i would have gone crazy along time ago.
So say what you will, I don’t mind, cuz you don’t matter!
take care everyone…. 13 days and counting.
If you slander her name again, you will be dangerously close to doing something illigal and I know about these things so just leave her name out of it from now on unless you can be nice.
Bullshit. I hate when idiots like you try to intimidate people with the law. You don’t know a damn thing about what is illegal or not. Dev can post what he wants.
Now to both Anonymous’s, You need to leave the Sis alone because she is going through something and you have no right to tell her how or what to think. If Mr. Hood gets a stay for whatever reason, then so be it and if he doesn’t, then she will still have her day.
Bullshit #2. The only people telling Tracey’s sister how or what to think are you, darby, and the rest of the anti-death penalty freaks trying to save the murderer’s ass. And I will continue commenting on the status of the case as I see fit.
Go ahead and call me names . . .
No, that is what you do.
There is nothing to say about Darby because she is sick and not talking in here to you idiots anymore, and Sis has the right to speak her peace to whomever crosses her path. You started it and she finished it.
Then stop bringing her name up all the time. But, if people make false statements, expect them to be refuted. If you attack people, don’t complain when they defend themselves.
Commenters who want to tell others what they may or may not post on should start their own blog. And until notified otherwise by Urbangrounds, everyone has the right to speak their peace here.
I would like to say that Darby does not “tell me what to think”, nor anyone else for that matter. I will say that Darby has helped me even though we disagree on the DP, there are many other things that we talk about. Darby does not wish to comment in here, please understand that she only wanted to understand what made Dean tick so to speak. Everyone has an opinion on something and opinions are just that opinions and to each and everyone of us that has a opinion is not wrong, it is what/how we feel about something.
Later…….
This is only about, Ron, Tracie, Bigsis and Charles. No-one elses words or opinions matter, so Tom wankalot, Darby I’m so ill, and all the anono”mice” fuck off and let man do what he is good at! good luck from Big Eric, Australia.
My opinion is that darby posted here because she “only wanted to understand what made Dean tick” is nonsense. Why? Because she had direct access to him and his lies if she “only wanted to understand what made Dean tick.” She came here and posted, his and his other scumpals’, lies. Time and time again she rejected the facts of the case . And opinions based on lies instead of facts are wrong.
fuck off
You first.
Sorry, but that is the truth……. she never thought that it would have lasted so long….. she flat out asked him why he murdered 2 people and he got very angry. Truly she only wanted to know why, Darby and I talk extensivly on this subject….. She hasn’t rejected the facts, in fact she feels that because some evidence wasn’t permitted that he didn’t get a fair trial….. She has resolved the fact that he is going to die….. If he did it then so be it….
I think YOU NEED ANGER MANAGEMENT! OH I never told you to FUCK OFF…… now your putting words in my mouth that I never said so go back and re read what I did say, if your going to quote me do it correctly please…..
And why are you attacking me anyways……. I have no doubts that he is guilty…… Darby does and that is her opinion and it is not wrong, its what she thinks. Now if I asked you what color a picture was and you said it was green and in fact it was red then you would be wrong, but how can ones opinion be wrong. As for her posting lies…. she only repeated what she was told by Dean.
So get off me “Anonymous”, and why must you hide behind anonymous…. to chicken shit to post your name?
Jules
I think YOU NEED ANGER MANAGEMENT!
Uh, I think you do. Italics signify a quote. Since you did not say fuck off, I was obviously not quoting you, but Eric.
Truly she only wanted to know why,
Why he murdered them? From who? The posters here? It’s obvious why he did it. Arguing repeatedly that he did not commit the murders or did not receive a fair trial is hardly an attempt to know “why.” Relying on facts and logic, her argument that he did not receive a fair trial also fails and cannot be defended as opinion.
So get off me “Anonymous”, and why must you hide behind anonymous…. to chicken shit to post your name?
Too many crazy people on the internet and in forums that address the death penalty. My words speak for themselves, anonymous, or otherwise. Now, get off me…
And my opinion is that you are an ass hole too Anonymous. You say that I keep bringing her name up but there you go doing it now. I am not going to sit here and watch this bull shit that you say about her and not say anything. Just leave her alone and you will hear nothing from me.
You are the biggest fan of the Death Penalty that I have ever seen and my question is why do you love it so much? I think that it’s not about justice with you, but you love talking about death itself. Death to you is a great thing and you love to read the articles about how somebody squirmed when they died and that gets you off in some sick kind of way. It just doesn’t matter to you if they did it or not. You live for the next murder so you can boast about how the next guy should die and you are obsessed with death and dying.
One of you Anonymus’s says that this is a free forum to say what ever you want to say, and then the other one says it’s about Ron, Tracie,
Big Sis and Charles, so which is it? What about the Family members that do not come in here and talk about it, their opinions don’t matter? I recall reading in here and when Mr.Hoods sister in law came in here to talk, she got blasted and was called names for her opinion. That was uncalled for as this girl is losing her brother in law who she believes to be innocent. Eveybody has an opinion and mine is that I do not believe Mr.Hood got a fair trial either and I’ll go one step further and say that I believe that he didn’t do it and I don’t care what the hell you think of my opinion and I’ll speak it any time I want to until the Editor tells me not to. This blog will be a memory in a couple of weeks anyway so I don’t think he minds what anyone says at this point. You say that you don’t go by the jury but the facts of the case, well you are one sandwich shy of a picnic then. I also thought they should have spared the life of Karla Tucker who did indeed admit to murdering two people but in Prison turned her whole life around and became a Christian, taught the Word to the other inmates, got married, and was fully rehabililated and at least was helping other inmates. What was the point of killing her? She told the Families how sorry and stupid she was so why not let her live her life out in Prison helping to rehabilitate others but you were probably happy as hell that they killed her too just because you feel she should have died. You are a sick twisted (in your own words) troll.
Well Anonymous “@” if you would have stated that you were talking to Erik I wouldn’t have said what I said….. but since you put it in your post that seemed to be addressed to me what was I supposed to think? As for anger management it’s arguementative jerks like you that aren’t really listening that anger me….. I am one of the most layed back people, don’t let a whole lot bother me. But you seem to be attacking me because I do talk with Darby…. which is none of your damn business.
As for signing everything “Anonymous” you could make up an alias, couldn’t you? Like bushwacker or something, it would at least separate all the anonymouses, or would that be to much to ask.
You are not worth my time or trouble….. Justice will be done in less than 2 weeks and then you can move on to another. You blast me like I am a supporter of Dean… when in fact I am not. Take the cotton out of your ears and stick it in your mouth.
Oh my God there you go again. Jules TOLD you that Darby wrote to him to ask him why he killed them. Did you not see that? She wanted to know why he did it!!!! He wrote her back and told her he didn’t do it and answered her questions. She has reasonable doubt because of the letter written to Ron and that is her biggest problem with this case. Who wrote that letter?? I suppose you know the answer to that question since it was NOT brought out at trial. Obviously who ever wrote that note is the killer but no expert was brought in to testify that it was his handwriting so there is a doubt right there. Did you know that there were other sets of prints that were not Ron’s, Tracie’s, or Mr.Hood’s? That was not brought in either so there is another doubt. Nobody confirmed that it was Mr. Hoods voice on that 911 tape, nobody. Another doubt. What are you going by?
Mr.Hood asked for DNA to be brought in and was denied. Why??
Because it would not have made a difference as they say. How the hell do you know that, it was not allowed in by that corrupt Judge and lead Prosecutor so you can not assume to know that it would not have made a difference. He should have been re tried and I know what I’m talking about and have researched the record for myself. That Jury only gave him death because at that time, life was 20 years and they didn’t want him to get out so the only other option was death. Stop trying to get into Darby’s head because none of us can, she is a very complicated thinker and tries her best to seek and find the truth. Thanks Jules for sticking up for her again. Geez I wish these ass holes would get off of her she doesn’t even write in here but yet they are so jealous of her they keep bringing her name up. Knock if off already and pick on someone else but leave Sis alone too for she is a victim of all of this and has to live with it for the rest of her life so I won’t tolerate you or anyone else saying cruel and nasty things to her either. I’ll be back to hear what you have to quote to me and say to me. I don’t care but it’s kind of fun arguing and that is what I do best. I love to Argue!! Tootaloo for now. Not Anonymous. Tom Workman
LOL Sis, I would have told it to stick it somewhere else but you were being kind. I took it that it was speaking to you also and thought “Rut Ro” they are going to get it from you. I’m in the middle of my day so I can’t come back until way later, but had a free couple of hours to play and I chose to play in here. Since this is turning into a play ground, I wanted to get on the monkey bars too. lol I’m going to try to get a hold of Darby tonight and read all this to her unless she came in here for a laugh, God knows she needs one after what she is going through at home. You just keep talking to her and never mind what “shit for brains” says about it. They know nothing about your friendship with Darby and are just pissed because they don’t have a clue what you two talk about and it’s killing them that they are no longer included in your conversations with her. They are now fighting amoungt themselves and it’s too funny for words. Ps. I love your word “bushwacker” that’s what we will call Anonymous @ hahahaha
Well Anonymous “@” if you would have stated that you were talking to Erik I wouldn’t have said what I said….. but since you put it in your post that seemed to be addressed to me what was I supposed to think?
What most people think — it’s not always all about them. Once again, if you didn’t write it, I couldn’t be responding to you. Since, Eric did write it in a post directly following yours, it was clear I was responding to him.
Justice will be done in less than 2 weeks and then you can move on to another.
Unfortunately, it’s doubtful. Hood will file a last minute petition claiming that the Texas LI protocol is cruel and unusual and the TCCA will grant and hold the petition and stay the execution until the lead case of Heliberto Chi is decided. I don’t know how far along the Chi case is. If by chance the TCCA does issue an opinion in Chi in the next two weeks, the attorneys for Chi will undoubtedly appeal the decision and executions will be on hold again. As to moving on, feel free to do so. Whether I stay or go is my decision – not yours.
Oh honey I’m not going anywhere……..you need to go back and reread the post from June 3rd at 707pm….. It is your wishful thinking that he will get a stay….
Oh, you should know that ……. IT’S ALWAYS ALL ABOUT ME! ALWAY HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE….. so……KMA
It was not clear that you were addressing erik, when the first portion of your response was clearly written to me.
And as to whether you stay or go being your decision… I highly doubt your able to do so.
Well Bushwacker, that is the best news I have heard all day! I hope he gets his stay and then another one and another one until he dies of old age. Wouldn’t that be a gas?? LOL
Sis, I don’t mean to sound disrespectful to you at all because I know that you are looking forward to closure so those words were not meant for you. The Bushwacker sounds so upset about it and that does my heart good to see her upset as she has upset enough people in here with her dumb ass ramblings. She is rowing with one oar in the water. LOL You could knock on her head and it would say “Room to Rent” LOL
Darby if you come in here. WAY TO GO RED WINGS!!!!
HOCKEY TOWN FOREVER!!
We beat the shit out of The Dallas Stars and I hope that upset everyone in here from the not so great State of Texas, and now they had a Funeral in Pittsburgh tonight when The Wings won the cup. I just know that Darby watched it and probably cried when they won it if I know her she was screaming and banging pans outside. LOL
Well at least that took the edge out of this blog for a while. Sis, are you a Hockey fan and did you see that game? It was great. Zetterburg flew one in and it just hit the blue part and their goalie lost it, so he sits down right on it and pushes it in the net with his ass. It was so funny I was saying to a couple of friends that I watched it with how great that was, they pushed our winning goal right in their net. It was priceless.
You know Bushwacker that you are getting to be a real smart ass with the Sis and I for one don’t like it. She can certainly hold her own and doesn’t need me to say anything on her behalf but I’m going to anyway. You keep talking that puke to her and you are going to have a problem with me. I can get a whole lot nastier than you so Play nice and I will too. I think it’s KMA too she just is using another stupid name like we didn’t know it meant “Kiss my Ass” She needs to come in out of the rain. She says that there are too many crazy people on the internet and in forums like this and that is why she uses Anonymous. Hell she is one of the crazy people out there so that is a lot of bull shit. To think that The Bushwaker walks amung us is kind of scary don’t you think??
I’ll end this with a joke for you Sis.
What do you call a short Phycic that just robbed a bank??
A small medium at large. LOL Hahahahahaha Hope that put a smile on your face, I laughed my ass off when my little nephew told that to me today. Please let me know if you hear anything about Mr. Hood getting a stay. Thank you, Tom
Geez Tommy were do I start? “Space Cadet” your views on who goes to Haven or Hell are clear, SIMPLE and documented. Now that I understand your idiotology on the matter and see why you think Charles is going to Haven we could move on to other dabates. Geeze were do I start”Space Cadet”You finally stuck your head out “weasel” and admited what I suspected all the long that Mr. Hoodlum is innocent. Now that has been said, we could leave Darby alone and start focusing on you my little weasel. I am going to ask you some tough questions and if you are the professional like you claim you will answer them.
1)How did Mr. Hoodlum came about having the victims credit cards right after the murder?
– The court was able to prove that he purchased flowers for some girl 800 miles away right after the murder.
Tommy answer?…….
Charles answer?……
2)The authorities were able to track Mr. Hoodlum’s movement by credit card transaction. He was arrested 800 miles away with the victims automobile and personnel belongings stolen from the crime seen?
Tommy answer?
Charles answer?
3) Bloody fingerprint was found on the bags covering the victims and the one taped around Tracie’s head. “now that is grusome ”
Tommy answer?
Charles answer?
OK Tommy you claim that you no about these things. Do not fall off track stick to the quetions asked or I will keep asking them over and over. And before you bring up the judge and prosecutor bull shit. NO Defense lawyer would ever bring that up in court without having proof. If that is your reason you think Charlie is innocent you really need to get your head examined. I am not sure if Charlie made up or was it jail house chatter but is has no weight. And also the 911 call “He said She said” crap doesn’t change the other evidence that he was convicted on. I am sure if anyone else was involved in the murder Charlie would of gave him up in a New York minute the snake that he is. All the evidence points to Charlie and he would say anything to save his ass.
Like any good novel this one will have a happy ending and the good guys will win.
Well, Well, Well Devie boy has surfaced once again. Are you an deleted by Robbie — how about we all disagree with each other without calling each other names?
Tom’s answer:
Mr. Hood’s answer:
I can answer every one of your questions and I really would but I don’t like your attitude very much. You will indeed leave Darby alone anyway so that’s that.
Yes, I can explain how Mr. Hood had Ron’s credit card, the fingerprints on the plastic that was NOT taped to Tracie’s head, the car being in Indiana and anything else that you want to know. I can explain the flowers, the things of Ron’s that he had in his posession, etc.
Of course you were there and that is how you know everything right? You have spoken to his Family and Mr. Hood right and attended his trial right? WRONG. I stuck my head out?? I simply choose to believe that Mr. Hood is NOT GUILTY of this crime. When a doubt is raised by the Defence you must look at it that way.
I have several doubts now so hense my statement. Since I choose not to explain anything to you, and you wouldn’t believe me anyway even if I did, I’ll just say that you are a big turd who is 6 cans short of a 6 pack.
You don’t have the contacts that I have so it’s doubtful that you will ever know any more than you already do. Some of the evidence may point to Mr. Hood but evidence can be very deceiving at times and I know this for a fact.
You need to look at the whole picture and not just bits and pieces of it.
Many people go to jail and do time because it looked like they were guilty, when in fact they weren’t. I have a good friend who’s house got raided by the under cover police and it was the wrong house, so instead of saying hey man we are sorry we got the wrong house and we were supposed to be next door, they planted crack in a bag and said they found it in his bedroom.
He didn’t do time because he had no prior record and had a good Attorney but he was convicted of possession of a controlled substance and he never had it in his house and never has done drugs, but it LOOKED like he did.
I could go on and on like you do but that’s it for me tonite.
You are a dummy and I probably forgot more than you will ever learn. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Devie Boy. You are a trip. lol
Tom, you need some serious therapy. It’s disturbing to see how your mind works. Please take all your messages you have logged on this site to a trained professional and have them analysed. Maybe it’s not too late for you to be re-habilitated into society. I hope so, good luck for the future.
Dev & Tom,
Why not exchange e mail addresses so you can go back and forth with each other , this way we will not have to see your childish remarks and name calling.
Where did you two come from anyway , all of a sudden you are writing novels on this blog.
Tom , all the facts point to Charley Boy’s guilt , everyone on the row claims to be innocent , improper police work , framed , bad trial lawyers , planted evidence , it goes on and on.
If he is in fact not guilty , why does his family stand idle , why are they not screaming to the politicians and the press , after all their loved one is close to being executed. Why is he not screaming his innocence , it just does not add up.
Why did he flee to Indiana , why did he not go to the police himself and tell his story ?
Everything that transpired after the murders point to him , I can’t believe that texas would execute him if there was reasonable doubt.
Ron, I’m sorry to go on and on with Dev. I no longer wish to speak to him so that will stop. You do not know what his Family has done or screamed about so please don’t assume anything. You have your beliefs and I have mine and let’s just quit right here. I was angry when I said what I said and want the Sis to have her closure and she believes that he did it so what the rest of think doesn’t matter to her.
To the Sis, I wish you good luck in Texas and hope that watching Mr. Hood take his last breath truly helps your heart. I couldn’t be more sincere and now that it is getting closer every day you must be getting nervous, but please don’t worry about it as you will do fine. Most Sincerely, Tom
Robbie, Thank you for editing my comment. I got carried away in here and didn’t use the brain God gave me. I am a professional and I would like to apologize to you for my behavior in your blog. I could have contained myself but chose not to so I can promise you no more swearing as I can certainly make a point without doing that. I’m not a name caller either so that will also cease. I sure do like that bushwacker name that the Sis used though. lol
I just hated what they were saying to Darby and so . oh well. I vented.
Again please accept my apology and it won’t happen again. Tom
[Editor --- Thanks Tom. Yours wasn't actually all that egregious, and you definitely weren't the only person using ad hominem to supplement/replace your arguments.
The death penalty is one topic that I'll probably never change my support of, but it's the one where I completely understand how others can and do oppose it. And I respect those opinions. It's an emotional issue --- as it should be for pro and anti. I just wanted things to get a little less heated rather than more with Hood's date approaching.]
Yes Ron, I get your point about the name calling but did you have to follow that up with were did you two come from? Like I said I get your point and its time to move on …….
11 days…… To see Hood take his last breath is no big deal as I deal with death and dying on a daily basis and have for a long time…. 20 yrs…… the only thing that bothers me is when Children die, esp. due at the hands of those who supposedly “love” them…… That is the one thing that will make me cry……
As Tom said I have no doubt about his guilt, he just deserves the same as he dished out…. had my sister not died nor Ron…. I don’t think I would have a problem with him being there for his entire lifetime………
Thank you Robbie for stopping the name calling….. we are adults and should conduct or selves as such, I will admit that yes I have been known to guilty of name calling…….
Ron i just wanted to say Charles is screaming his innocence and people like Darby and Tom are his voice
Regardless of the fact that if he’s “screaming” his innocence or not.. facts are facts..~W
Anonymous, I do not need you to speak for me to anyone. I can speak for myself so I’ll thank you to leave mine and Darby’s name out of your conversations in the future unless you want to go around again. When I address someone in here that means that I am addressing one person and no others so keep out of my business with anyone that I speak to. If you speak to me or about me, I’m going to respond so keep me out of it and we can all be one happy Family.
I’ m not Mr. Hood’s mouthpiece but you certainly seem to be the State of Texas’s.
I’m not going to speak for Darby unless she allows me to, but I can sure speak for myself and I think that there was enough doubt for him to be re tried. Everyone in here should know how I feel by now and if you don’t like it, isn’t that just too bad. This forum is about Mr. Hood and the death penalty where we can voice our opinions about it so if you are for it, fine but I’m not and guess what? That’s fine too. If you have something to say to me, then say it TO me and not about me. I’m a grown man and can handle anything that you can throw at me. Gotta run now
Are you and your crack head buddie stone?
Robbie, I just went up and saw your comment to me. You’re a good man and I appreciate what you said. Here’s the thing about the Dp, I didn’t mind that they executed Tim McVeigh even though I’m not for the DP. He killed alot of men, women and children and he never denied it and he is a person that the world can do without, as our lots of other people that kill who are not famous. But when I have a doubt about the guilt of a person that is facing death, then I think it’s wrong to execute them. As much evidence that they may have against Mr. Hood, there is still many doubts that I have come to know about.
I’m glad that you understand the feelings of those of us who do not believe in it and I respect you for your thoughts as well. I would never put you down for your beliefs. The reason that I was so rude to the others is because of what they said and how they said it.
They, unlike you think that people who disagree with the DP are crazy for some cockied reason and that we should agree with them. I never asked anyone to agree with me on my views so anyway, I’m glad that you responded to me and you are a Gentlemanm indeed. Thanks again, Tom

“Are you and your crack head buddie stone?”
Ah, When you learn how to speak and can come with a coherent question I may be able to answer it. Until then, try reading, oh I don’t know, the Dictionary maybe or “See Spot Run”
Tom, Why didn’t you mind when the executed Tim Mc Veigh? Killing is Killing isn’t it ? Tim Mc Veigh wanted to die so he didn’t have to suffer in prison.
Anonymous, Tim McVeigh killed hundreds of people including children and never said he didn’t do it. He got mad at the Government and so blew up one of their buildings and was proud of what he did.
He admitted it so that is the difference. I didn’t want them to execute him because of my beliefs and the fact that he wanted to die. I thought they should have made him sit in his cell with every picture of every one he killed on the walls for the rest of his life, But Guess what? Doing that would have been cruel and unusual punishment, so as I said, I didn’t mind.
Mr. Hood on the other hand says he’s innocent of murder and since I have a doubt or five, I don’t think they should kill him. Yes, Murder is Murder of course but if you are going to execute someone for murder then I think that there should be no doubt. Maybe you have no doubt but then again you wouldn’t because your mind is closed and you would still say he had something to do with it even if someone else came forward and said that they did it, but I do have doubts.
Do you care? NO Do I care? YES
It makes no difference to you because you just want him dead. You read and heard what you wanted and you forgot about what evidence that wasn’t allowed in that may have changed the outcome of his Trial. I’ll give you only two to mull over. 1) Who wrote that note?
2) Who’s voice was it on the 911 tape? Neither one of those questions were answered at Trial and there is no proof whatsoever that Mr. Hood wrote the note and that it was indeed his voice on the recording. Now don’t come back here and tell me that he wrote that note or that it was his voice because as I said, there is NO PROOF OF THAT. No expert witness was called to give their opinion on either question. Sorry, but that alone with nothing else leaves a doubt in my mind and there is more but not tonight. I hope I answered your question to your satisfaction and now I have to run.
I just want to say that I have no doubts regardless of what evidence was or was not proven…… I think I am the only one in here without any doubt…. 9 days… Justice will be done, and I will have closure.
[Editor --- I have zero doubts, too. We're looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, BS. Bring some hot weather clothes. It'll be hovering around 100 degree the entire time your here.]
Tom,
How can the courts in Texas ignore such valuable evidence as the handwriting on the note , and the voice on the 911 tape ? What possible reason could they give to not look in to these factors during Hood’s trial , surely a half decent lawyer could have forced the court to test the evidence , or , did the lawyer know it was Hood and did not pursue this !
This puzzles me , after all , a man’s life is at stake here , also over the course of nineteen years on the row , all appeals dismissed , this still remains a mystery.
How can the courts in Texas ignore such valuable evidence as the handwriting on the note , and the voice on the 911 tape ?
They didn’t.
Can’t wait till this piece of sh1t gasps his last….
What the hell is wrong with you people ?
Stop feeling sorry for scum like him and think about the victims.
All these selfrighteous huggy feely types really p1ss me off, especially the “pen pal make friends with a mass muderer cause he’s actually really nice and wouldn’t hurt a kitten” types.
They should be banned from writing to them altogether.
Let them stew….
8 days to go……… Getting a little nervous. OMG…. HOT WEATHER CLOTHES? GONNA HAVE TO DIG FOR THOSE….LOL. I misspoke when I said that about being the only one without any doubt Robbie…. I know you have no doubt either.
I got your e-mail about the writer…..
Guilty…Guilty …Guilty it’s a “no brainer” Oh! sorry tommy…
It doesnt matter who writes who, the facts are the facts..
Guilty or not…
Lethal Injection, according to the Supreme Court.. could be a violation of the Eighth amendment. According to many “LI” is cruel and unusual.. if there was a way to die without the pain involved, this wouldn’t be happening.. too many “botched executions”.. this is at a standstill, until The Kentucky cases are decided.. and nobody finds out until the last minute.. whether we are “pro” or “anti”.. it’s at an obvious “halt”.. hellllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooo..
By the way “kiddies” Derrick Sonnier was givin a “stay” of execution a mere 90 min. before he was scheduled to die. The state of Texas still has cases questioning the legality of the current lethal injection protocols that it hasn’t decided yet. So, even though the U.S. Supreme Court just ruled in April that lethal injections are OK legally, Sonnier’s execution was delayed until Texas rules on its other lethal injection cases…. ya DIG….
p.s.s.s… boooyahhh…
TDCJ adopted a new lethal injection protocol on May 30th,…which says the Motion for Stay of Execution reads. “Among other revisions, it sets a floor for training and qualifications of the executioner- a floor for Mr. Sonnier has no idea if the TDCj has met.” Executing Sonnier with an untested and enexamined protocol, they argue, would be a “mockery of our system” .. and if that jazz doesnt “blow yer dress up”, then ponder this my pretties.. it may mean all TX executions wil be stayed until the Chi and Woods cases are resolved, and/or until the new protocol is examined by the court.. huuummmmm….??? .. c-ya..
[Editor --- The Texas Supreme Court has just lifted the stay for Sonnier.
And in doing so, the court found that the U.S. Supreme Court's 7-2 ruling which upheld Kentucky's lethal injection procedure is "materially indistinguishable from Texas' lethal injection protocol."
Which means that Karl Chamberlain will be dead before the sun sets tomorrow night.
And in a week from today, so will Charles Dean Hood.
Booyahhh back at you, biotch!]
I want to know just how in the hell they can say that it causes pain…. SO FREAKING WHAT!
What about the pain they caused the victims… nobody gave even an inkling of a thought about them when they committed their crimes of murder….. so now lets all whine about how THEY might be caused pain……. boo hoo poor murders might feel a little bit of pain…. hell just stick a gun in the cell and shoot the bastards while they sleep… they’ll never know what hit em.
Justice is a double edged sword……
I will know more towards the end of the week.
MOTION FOR STAY OF EXECUTION DENIED:
WR-46,058-02 CHAMBERLAIN, KARL EUGENE DALLAS COUNTY
This is the execution before hoods………
Court of Criminal Appeals handed down three cases involving the death penalty and lethal injection.
Relief was not granted in any of the cases, and that decreases Hood’s chances of success at a last-minute petition on that issue considerably.
So I say to all of those who oppose LI and the DP…….. suck a raw egg.
Big Sis,
You ROCK , way to tell them.
Looks like Charlie has run out of options , justice will prevail.
All the best to you on your trip to Texas , looking forward to hearing from you when you get back.
Take care.
Justice always prevails! He no doubt will try and file some bullshit appeal…… but I’m sure it will be denied due to abuse of writ! 7 days and counting, I will say that I am anxious/nervous… no doubt I will be until i am seated in the Galley and he is escorted onto the gurney.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Thank you again to all that have given me their support I will write when I get back.
Take care……..
Big Sis,
From what I have read on the net , apparently the prisoner is already strapped to the gurney when the witnesses are brought in to the gallery. The needles are already inserted and the body is covered with a sheet , it is at that point he is asked if he has final words , it is my guess that he won’t confess.
However he is brought in doesn’t matter as long as I see him there…. He will never confess, will be interesting to hear his final words.
