Thanks for putting up the video. The trial, if it ever gets going, will be a very rough one. It looks like the defense is going to claim McCraney’s DNA got on J.B. Beasley by “consensual sex.”
The victims and the suspect lived in different towns, Dothan and Ozark respectively. When arrested, during his police interrogation, McCraney said he didn’t know and had never met the victims. Now, his defense will claim he had sex with J.B. that night, just before “somebody else” killed them.
Remember Lemaricus Davidson, ringleader of the Knoxville Horror? He said in his police interview he didn’t know the victims. At trial, the defense claimed he and Channon Christian had an ongoing relationship.
I’m afraid this may be a repeat.
N.S.: These utterly ridiculous defense scenarios of black rapist-murderers have a royal pedigree: arch-“liberal” scriptwriter Reginald Rose. In 12 Angry Men, Rose required that one believe that the victim beat his son to a pulp, and the son ran out and immediately bought a switchblade, and yet, the enraged son went to a double-feature, of which he could remember nothing, instead of home to kill his father, the switchblade magically fell out of the son’s pocket, and just after the son bought his switchblade, a third party went to his apartment and stabbed the father to death with a different switchblade.

This is a repeat--word for word--of that case in Texas(Rodney Reed).
The black playbook never changes.

Too bad an evidence kit wasn't saved in the Leo Frank case. Then maybe the issue of his guilt could be settled.

If you're interested, here are some of the unreleased episodes of THE DEFENDERS: https://www.youtube.com/@rubypearl2298/videos Even with the show's liberal slant, it's a brilliantly-done series, with some outstanding performances (Duvall in "Metamorphosis," Don Gordon in "Madman"). -RM
Monday was the first day of the Tracie-Hawlett-J.B. Beasley double murder trial. It (https://www.wtvy.com/2023/04/17/third-jurors-summoned-mccraney-trial-show-up-court/) consisted of jury selection. About 100 of 300 jurors summoned showed up.
The judge and attorneys hope a jury will be selected Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. Jury selection stopped for the day when the air conditioning went out.
Alabama does not allow cameras in the courtroom.
A jury was seated today (Tuesday) in the Beasley-Hawlett double murder trial just after 5 p.m. CT. A news report said it was seven men and seven women. No racial breakdown was given. Opening arguments begin Wednesday morning.
Coley really looks to be up in the years now. If convicted going to die in prison.
The source for the following is RickeyStokesNews.com.
On Wednesday, the first day of the trial for the double murder of Tracie Hawlett and J.B. Beasley, one of the jurors didn't show up. The judge sent court officials to find him. He was apparently working at his job, cutting grass.
The jury is five men, seven women with two alternates. Only two of the jurors are black. The one who didn't bother to show is said to be one of the black jurors. He was found and brought to court.
The above is unconfirmed.
The opening statement by the prosecutor came after 11 a.m., two hours late. He explains how cell phones, GPS, etc. were not common in 1999.
The girls stopped at the Big and Little convenience store around 11:45 p.m. The proprietor saw they were happy, clean, no problems.
When the girl were found in the trunk of the car two days later, they had mud on their clothes and were "dirty and muddy."
The killer apparently made contact with them at the Big and Little and "forced them to another location, raped J.B. Beasley, then forced them into the trunk of the car, once in the car, the killer shot each of them one time."
"The killer then got into the car. You will see mud in the driver side of the car, drove those girls to another location and abandoned the car."
"The killer makes two mistakes. In the autopsy took a vaginal swab, panties and shirt and Forensic's determined semen in the girl, hence the rape"
"Mistake 2, leaving car on Herring Avenue. Abandoned the car and took off running."
It turned out McCraney lived about half a mile from where the car was found. His home was also close to the big Little.
The prosecutor "submits you will hear a lot, let the DNA and mud do the talking."
The defense opening was a "Mazda was seen in the area," which was "an unmarked police car."
The gist of the defense opening statement was: "He saw those girls, who said they were lost. he was a player. McCraney got into the car and showed them. Started talking to JB, socialize, and they had sex."
In 2018 when McCraney was interviewed, when asked if he knew the girls, he said, NO, never met them.
This was the end of the first half day. Again the source was www.RickeyStokesNews.com.
Below is from WSFA TV Station, Montgomery, AL.
The missing juror, one Adrian Brooke, during a hearing with presiding Judge William Fillmore, was revealed by authorities to have an existing warrant for a traffic violation.
Brooke was then arrested, disqualified from the jury, and later transported to Dothan. He will be charged with contempt of court. Brooke caused a two hour delay.
One of the alternates replaced the disqualified juror. One alternate is left.
