When is Montana stop prolonging the truth? It’s been 27
years too long! Ms. Kim Nees is just as deserving as Barry
for justice!!
A few of the FACTS that are documented and undeniable most
of which are found on this site.
From the beginning Montana had help railroading Barry.
While in Louisiana custody 3 1/2 years AFTER Ms. Nees
murder Barry was coerced into signing 3 different
confessions for 3 different murders!
Before the Board of Pardon’s and Parole hearing, Mike
McGrath the then Attorney General of Montana’s own
investigation before the farce of a hearing received
statements, which his own reports state how 4 different
people are known to have had the same necklace that
belonged to Ms. Nees. Autopsy reported a piece of broken
chain was found on her person.
#1 MAUDE GREY HAWK KIRN Also, known to be involved in
3 murders to include her own husbands, Dana Kirn
BOARD OF PARDON’S AND PAROLE SWORN TESTIMONY SISSY ADKINSON
PAGE 155 – 156
Maude called and told her that she had found Kim’s diamond
necklace down by the river.
#2 JOANNE JACKSON TODD #3 EDDIE VANDOVER
JOANNE JACKSON TODD’S STATEMENT TO MIKE McGRATH’S OFFICE:
PAGE 12 Joanne, Eddie VanDover and she didn’t know who they
were with saw a necklace “A gold necklace with a diamond”
by the river. Ed VanDover took it from her. PAGE 14 “It was
a gold with a little diamond in it. A little cross with a
diamond in it.”
#4 CALIB GOURNEAU, imprisoned for drugs and is now on the
meth task force for the Fort Peck reservation? He found the
same necklace as the others on 2 different occasions!
GOURNEAU admits to having a broken necklace and stated to
Mike McGrath’s office he turned the necklace into Stevie
Grey Hawk. Then in the SAME STATEMENT TO MIKE McGRATH’S
OFFICE he states he found the same necklace again in the
fall while walking his dog!
MIKE McGRATH SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS AS I
DIDN’T HEAR IT BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE BOPP OR TO
BARRY’S ATTORNEY’S DURING THE HEARING!
Document stating FBI’S COMMENT 1979, TWO CIVILIANS TURNED
IN PIECES OF JEWELRY THAT HAD BEEN FOUND WHERE POLICE HAD
ALREADY THOROUGHLY SEARCHED.
According to the following post on the MFJ blog that Sissy
Atkinson still has Ms. Nees CLASS KEY
Written by: Anonymous at 2008/04/16 - 07:13:08 in reply
to: 271
309 - Katie,
i didn;t even know about this case, one day sissy atkinson
walked me back to a room and showed me kims class key that
was in a jewerly box,(i didn’t know kim and i don’t know
barry)-(this is probable 10-15 years after the murder) this
was when i was a teenager. she threated me if i told anyone
that she showed me the necklace. plus who would do anything
about it in POPLAR mt.
Barry Beach isn’t guilty! It’s proven time and time again
both factually and forensically. The Montana authorities
involved with this cover-up should be held accountable for their actions! The FBI should also be held accountable as there are natives involved with this
murder! 10 UNIDENTIFIED PRINTS AND THE BLOODY PALM PRINT
still have not been identified to this day! I’d put money
on a bet IAFIS the FBI’s database holds the secret to
opening those prison gates!
This case should never have been closed until every one
of those prints had been identified.
Last but not least I didn’t find one single document
showing Caleb Gorneau, Maude Grey Hawk Kirn, Joanne Jackson
Todd, or Eddie VanDover’s prints, blood and hair were ever
taken and compared to the evidence found! It’s a known
fact Joanne Jackson Todd had clumps of hair missing from
her head after Ms. Nees murder!
Barry’s a political prisoner and it’s evident. Mike McGrath
is now the Chief Justice of Montana’s Supreme Court.
Barry’s been waiting for 15 months on a decision from the
court. How much longer is it going to take for Barry to
get justice in Montana?
The evidence is clear, the murderers have talked!
If Barry can be treated this way in Montana so can the
rest of us! This needs to end NOW!
I just watched Barry’s interview on KRTV.com and it was inspiring to say the least. Please go to their website and watch it! After viewing the interview please post your comments. We all know that this case needs as much attention as we can possibly give it. By posting your comments on their website it will bring more attention to Barry’s fight for freedom. The extended video is about 33 minutes long, so make sure you view the entire thing. Thank you so much to all of Barry’s supporters from all over the country and remember he needs us to fight for him. I truly believe that we are getting closer to seeing Barry as a free man!!!
Regarding Barry’s interview on KRTV. Please post your comments on KRTV.com. Thanks again.
Just a quick note to any of Barry’s supporters especially any of you out of state supporters, please be sure to post your comments regarding Barry’s upcoming interview on KRTV, Wednesday November 11th. You can see the interview at KRTV.com. Make your voices heard. We need to make it loud and clear to the officials in Montana that we’re not going away. Thank you and as always…Freedom for Barry Beach!!!
For those of you who still follow the Barry Beach story there will be a televised interview Wednesday, November 11, 2009 with Barry and his mother Roberta, on KRTV Channel 3 Great Falls. You can also see the interview on the KRTV website at KRTV.COM
Thanks for your support and prayers
southerntam, would you please contact me

I have some forensic questions. Thanks.
I recently watched the program on MSN about Barry’s case and I must say I was appalled by the failure of the justice system for this clearly innocent man. The failure occurred all the way from the judicial courts to the arresting officers. I just do not understand how the system, that we were raised to believe would protect us, could so completely convict a man without a shred of evidence, absolutely nothing!! What happened to “Innocent until PROVEN guilty??? If there was no physical evidence, no witnesses, nothing, how is his conviction justified? I am praying for justice for this man, who has lost so many years of his life and freedom. Stay strong, Barry, and remember that there are so many that believe in you and pray for your freedom. The courts need to prove that they are indeed fair and just in this “land of the free”.
I too am beyond outraged over this case. I just became aware of it when I recently watched it on msnbc. I have written to every newspaper in MT. Every government official in MT. Even the president of the United States. As someone mentioned before I can’t help but feel all my efforts have fallen on deaf ears. Is there anything else that we as a group can do to help free this innocent man and correct this horrific wrong? I have spoken to Barry and made him a promise that I will never stop fighting for his freedom. The corruption surrounding this case is unbelievable. Can’t anyone see this, why hasn’t Barry been granted a new trial? None of this makes any sense to meI plead to all of Barry’s supporters to keep up the pressure, continue to write, continue to call and remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Barry Beach was 17 years old when Kim Nees was murdered. That qualifies him as a juvenile with unlimited potential. Why then would a judge sentence him to 100 years with no parole? Aren’t we supposed to rehabilitate our prisoners and allow them to rejoin our communities as responsible citizens? Is it acceptable to lock human beings up and throw away the key? I thought our legal and prison systems were more evolved. Why did the judge even include NO parole when Montana Statute 46-18-222 clearly states restrictions on parole eligibility Do Not Apply if:
(1) the offender was less than 18 years of age at the time of the commission of the offense for which the offender is to be sentenced;
Why did the judge not declare a mistrial when Marc Racicot knowingly mislead the jury regarding evidence from the crime scene, evidence he knew he could not and did not produce (see montanansforjustice.com)
Please let everyone you know about this injustice and then come together as citizens of the United States in support of Barry Beach.
Please contact Attorney General Steve Bullock and insist Barry Beach be given a new trial.
For those interested in writing letters of
support, and please mention you saw the show
on MSNBC as he will be thrilled to know:

looks alot suspicious and vicious as a call…glad to see Keith Morrison help bring this
forward to the media….interesting how Barry looks much more at peace than
the (circumstantially innocent)
Why is Maude more plump and round than a Butterball turkey?
And why does Sissy have more lines on her face than a football field?
These are the kinds of questions that need to be answered.
I, too, took an interest in this case after seeing the original Dateline airing back in 2008 (I believe). I wrote to the Attorney General, Governor and Board of Pardons, but I can’t help but feel it landed upon deaf ears. I have a graduate degree in Forensic Science and in all of my studies, it absolutely amazes me that our judicial system has not granted a new trial for Barry. I don’t understand how the lack of evidence, the inaccuracies of Barry’s confession, the palm print that obviously pointed to someone, OTHER THAN BARRY, being present during the crime, and the gossiping of Maude, Sissy and the others hasn’t warranted someone in the criminal justice system to re-examine the case. There’s no way a jury would convict him in a new trial …there is far too much evidence out there to exonerate him. Anyway, just wanted to add my little 2 cents…I check back every now and then to see what new developments have occurred and each time I pray to see the headline “Barry Beach Exonerated and Freed from Prison”.
I too was wondering the same thing as comment #162 – with regards to the Nees family and what they think.
I have taken an interest in this case after watching the MSNBC program.
I feel for Barry Beach. I too have been wrongfully done by the justice system here in KS. My issue has been cleared up and it paled in comparison to what Barry has gone through.
Is there a way to write Barry in Jail?
What are the other blogs I keep reading about that supposedly have the real attackers confessing?
How does the Nees family feel about all this?
What’s next in the legal system for Barry?
I hope this gets cleared up and Barry is able to walk out of prison and gain some of the things he has lost.
G. Calles, Wichita, KS
I watched the program concerning Barry Beach last night. A sad, but typical course of behavior these days taken by our legal system.
I wonder, sice this appears to have been a possible kidnapping/homicide, why it hasn’t been the sole jurisdiction of the FBI all along? If the victim was lured or coerced to the area she was killed at, I mean.
Who butchered all of the messages?
Thanks so very much for taking your time to create this very useful and informative site.
You have a very sucessful blog,i never saw such a nice one before

Attorney General Mike McGrath is running for Chief Justice of the Montana Supreme Court and thinks he will coast to victory on the basis of name recognition alone. He says he is for justice and the fair application of the law but his record in the Barry Beach, Jimmy Ray Bromgard, and other cases shows these are empty words. One of the best ways we can help Barry is by showing that elected officials who fail to uphold their oaths of office and pursue the truth will pay a price at the ballot box. An upset victory for Ron Waterman at least in part because of the Barry Beach case would get the attention of Montana’s political leaders real fast that the people are serious when they expect our elected officials to do the right thing. I encourage all who seek justice for Barry to vote for Ron Waterman. Tell all your friends and family to vote for Ron Waterman. Write a letter to the editor of Montana newspapers. We have an opportunity to send a powerful message that we will not tolerate this injustice.
MFJ, I have read the brief…….now what happens?
It’s really too bad, people don’t have the balls to admit when they have made a mistake. I wish the people/women responsible would have the guts to come forward. What if it was your son, brother or friend in prison for something he didn’t do. I still praying for you, Barry. I hope to God that this all comes to head and the people responsible are caught. Also, that the DA and AG are made to look fools and the cop who took the evidence goes to prison.

CITY OF BILLINGS MAYOR RON TUSSING HAS HAD FOUR ETHICS VIOLATION COMPLAINTS FILED AGAINST HIM WITH THE BILLINGS BOARD OF ETHICS
by MONTANA NEWS ASSOCIATION
Billings Mt.,Aug 26, 2008–/MNA PRESS/–Billings Mayor Ron Tussing has had four ethics violations complaints filed against him, with the Billings Board of Ethics. A letter, signed by over 100 citizens, was sent to Judge Russell Fagg, in his capacity as Chair of the Billings Board of Ethics. The four complaints pertain to potential breaches of duty allegedly committed by Ron Tussing in his official capacity as mayor.
According to Montana Code Annotated 2-2-121, public officers are prohibited from using public time, facilities, equipment, supplies, personnel, or funds to solicit support for, or opposition to, local ballot issues. The letter to Judge Fagg outlines four potential issues, in which Ron Tussing may be in violation of Montana State law. Ron Tussing, in his official capacity of mayor, is a member of the Celebrate Billings steering committee and as such, actively campaigned for and supported the passage of the 2006 Billings Ballpark Bond Issue and the 2007 School District 2 Mill Levy. Mayor Tussing also campaigned against the 2006 Repeal of the 2004 Public Safety Mill Levy.
The complainants allege that Mayor Ron Tussing used Billings City time, facilities, equipment and supplies in support for, and opposition to, these ballot issues. The complainants attached over thirty (30) evidentiary exhibits, in support of their claims.
The Billings Board of Ethics will meet to review the complaints. The complainants have requested that all members of the board, who have been appointed by Ron Tussing, be recused from the review process. The complainants also have requested that Victoria Cech, whose husband serves on the Celebrate Billings Steering Committee with Ron Tussing, be recused, as well.
If the Board substantiates the complaints, the next step is to refer the complaints to the Yellowstone County Attorney’s office. The county attorney may then launch investigations into the alleged breaches of duty and fine Ron Tussing between $50 and $1,000, for each substantiated violation.
Ron Tussing is running against Brad Molnar for Public Service Commission District 2.
GREAT PRESENTATION! I hope this opens more eyes and important ones, too!
Your Canadian Supporter!
So the AGs office needs more time? Too busy? Heavy workload? Seems to me that August 8th snuck up on someone who was sleeping on the job…? Why did they wait until the day the brief was due to file for more time? The statements in the motion imply, at least to me, that they have not even worked on their response. Guess it isn’t important enough that an innocent man remains incarcerated. I’m sure the AG thinks that Barry has sufficient time to wait for him to get around to it. I’m sure Mike McGrath has had no problems getting around to working on his campaign for Supreme Court Chief Justice. Maybe if he spent part of his time seeking justice he might have been a somewhat decent candidate for the job, but remember, the rights of Montana citizens come second to McGrath’s political aspirations. Just the guy I want for Chief Justice. Yeah, right! (sarcasm intended)
McGrath, Wellenstien, Plubell: Oh wait, let’s stop at Dairy Queen first and get some ice cream! Maybe Starbucks too! Barry Beach, who? Oh, he doesn’t mind waiting! We are FAR too important to rush in the name of justice. Who do you think we work for, the taxpayers?
This taxpayer will be voting for Ron Waterman for Supreme Court Chief Justice. If you enjoy your civil rights, I encourage everyone else to do the same. (no sarcasm intended)
- A Beach Bum
I am so glad to hear what a success the Glasgow event was! We may also be thankful that an extension has been filed as this gives hope of actual investigation and not a hasty conclusion. We must all continue to rally support for Barry and let him know we are still fighting with him. Barry, take care of yourself and be safe! Things are going well on my end and I will be in touch soon. Hugs and blessings from Mt. Carmel Illinois!
Regarding comment #75……”Broke Weak”, I guess you have never been in a situation that you have been scare to death and would say anything to get out of it. I am not one to get involved with causes, but I feel in my mind and in their heart that Barry Beach is innocent.

Oh come on folks - Barry is NOT going to die in prison! He is the most amazing man I have ever met and I just refuse to believe that God would let Barry Beach die in prison. He is innocent! God knows this! EVERYONE knows this - including those no-good folks who are responsible for the horrible death of Kim Nees. So lets not let this get us down. Barry could have a heart attack and die tomorrow in prison - but he WILL die and innocent man. As long as he’s still very much alive - we have to continue to do our part to support and to fight for freedom. Dang it anyhow we can’t let the system beat us ALL! ****
to #140
Unfortunately you may be right.
Barry may die in prison.
In fact I have told him that more than once, since I got involved in this many years ago.
But, I do know this…
Barry will go to meet his maker, knowing that he did the best job he could,
where he was at,
to serve man, and mankind.
He knows that God will smile upon him on that day.
I know that God will smile upon me also on that day,
for doing everything in my power to right this wrong.
I have talked with many a soul who says to me, thanks,
and I have met many a soul who thanks Barry for doing what he does to help mankind.
He is truly an inspiration to all,
including many guards I have talked with.
I hope at the end of the day, or end of the road,
God will smile on you,
and say well done young man/woman, well done.
Peace to you all, and keep up the good fight as it is a noble one.

Hello. I enjoyed reading this blog. It’s nice to see all the speculation that is going on with this case. However, this blog will go down in history as just another part of this case. It is going to be sad when Barry dies in prison, because he will. The state made their decision and there is no way that Barry will every walk free. I am sorry to say that, but that is the facts. I am sorry that he confessed but now he will die of old age before he will every leave the bars of prison. I comment Montanans for Justice for putting in the effort to help Barry. I have resolved to believe that whether Barry is guilty or not, he will spend the rest of his life in prison and we that are still here will morn his lost. So continue with your work and good luck. The only place Maude will end up is in prison for drug dealing. She makes steady runs to the reservation every month. You would think the cops would have caught on to that by now, but we know how slow they are. Ed will probably die from Hib C and well that’s about it. So stay focused and keep on keeping on.
Nina, Barry is fine considering where he is, what he has gone thru and for how long. He shouldn’t be there in the first place. But he is in good spirits.
To my knowledge Sissy only has one child, a daughter who is just as into drugs as she is.
How is Barry doing?
Apparently Sissy told someone that Eddy is the father of one of her children. That is why he can’t use the bathroom without her permission. Does anyone know if this is in deed the truth. WOW the plot thickens!
I got the same note from Brian Swchweitzer
Hello Fellow Bloggers…Barry is asking for all of us to support him in some way. I will continue to write letters and/or emails to spread awareness. I hope all of you will do the same..even if it’s just one!
Barry deserves all the support he can get. Can you imagine having someone you love, such as a brother, son or even childhood friend, (who by the way is innocent,) spending their life in confinement? I can’t! Please help!!! Thank you~

Montana has always had some serious issues with justice - look at history - vigilantees! Those of us who are convinced that Montanans need to hold those they elect accountable are starting to step up to the plate to confront injustices like that commited against Barry Beach. Maybe we are the ‘new’ vigilantees? Montana truly needs vigilant people to reorder more than a few things in this state!
Who is “Sandy” that Greg was with and had to take home prior to finding Kim’s body?
I pray daily that this horrible injustice to Barry and to the reputation of our state be rectified. I apprecialte reading from those who are offended by the corruptness that surrounds Barry’s conviction. If we do not take a rigid stand in confronting those who supposedly represent us in government on this awful misdeed done for whatever self-serving reasons, how can WE not be guilty too? - Joy
128 Well if Barry’s First Lawyer this Moses was dirty then Racicot probably had some dirt on him. If that was the case then maybe the original judge and others had the same thing going on. They all probably all knew each other. And its continued thru the years no one wants to come clean because of dirt somewhere else. Even the current AG and his bunch. After reading all the blogs and info on Racicot and other websites on corruption in Montana. The High Line seems a dirty place. Who could you trust? Not local law enforcment,DA’s. And some of the info seems to even point to corruption in the FBI back in 70’s and 80’s. Maybe they have cleaned house and the Fed’s can do something.
I heard the other day that some evidence (old or new) was found in a shed a few miles away. Don’t know if it was FBI or investigators. Could be a rumor. But if it isn’t, I think thinks will be happenin’ soon.
Anyone else heard this?
, I wondered myself why Timer Moses didn’t get Barry off. When I first moved to Billings, my understanding from the grapevine was that Moses was a “dirty” lawyer who got the “dirty” criminals off. I am not calling Barry “dirty”, I don’t believe he is or was. but good question, who backed MOses up against a barrel and forced his hand to not get Barry off? to #30, I might be wrong, but I beleive Mr. Moses has passed away.
Yes. I also would like to know this, (126). We are all curious and hopeful something is going on!
Does anyone have any reliable information regarding the rumor that there are investigators in town right now?
exactly 124. Some people want to twist this around to make it sound like a confession. We ALL know Barry is innocent, even those who come here and try to say otherwise. FREE BARRY BEACH~
In response to comment #98. Barry says that he did “something” that will have him in prison meaning saying that he killed Kim when he did not. The forgiveness he asks for is for all the hurt that he put his family through both emotionally and financially.
121. You are so twisted. Yes, God does know all. First he knows you’re crazy, so he has pity on you. I have told you before that lots of innocent people are in prison, but not because people are praying for them to be there. Your idea of prayer is not prayer at all. You can’t have hate and God in the same sentence. The two do not mix.
121, if i were you + i thank God i’m not, i’d start praying for mercy on your soul. the only reason you would be praying all three things mentioned in your post, is because you know if he is freed, cm clears him + bobbi no longer has to travel to visit him - that would mean you would FINALLY be where you belong, behind bars! i assure you, you’d have NO visitors!!
I have three prayers that have continued to be answered. First, Barry Beach stayes in prison. Second, that CM don’t get their man cleared. Finally, that Bobby Clincher continues to visit Barry as she has for the last 25 years. Thank you God for answering my prayers every morning i wake up. GOD KNOWS ALL!

well, that’s better than nothing 118
Yup, just heard a plane fly overhead.
Has anyone heard ANYTHING????
Don’t take the above comment personally! It’s not meant to put anyone down, just my opinion!
I’m sorry, but that reverse thing is dumb. Ya, some things do sound like something else, but most do not. It doesn’t mean anything either way.
How do you know
Omigosh, did you ever listen to that reverse speech thing on youtube? It has Barry and Sissy Atkinsons speech reversed on what they are saying. It sounds sooo freaky. I wonder if they could ever get Maude to talk what hers would say. I think you have to type in Poplar MT, to find Barry’s picture, and then the little reverse speech thing.
Maude Grayhawk now goes by the name Maude J. Kirn she lives in either Denver or Littleton.
BARRY BEACH DOES NOT HAVE ANY CHILDREN!!
Pray for Barry’s Freedom!!!
Things are heating up everywhere. We are putting the pressure on our elected officials to act or not get our votes. We a putting the pressure on those involved in Kim Nee’s murder. They must know by now that the day is very near when justice in this case will be handed down and they will be facing the rest of their lives in a prison cell. One way or another, Barry Beach will be free soon. So, let’s pour on some more heat and get things to where they are unbearably hot.
Things were gettnig heated up on this blog there for a whlie and I think those folks who were writing all the negative things about Barry and trying to paint a pretty picture of Maude and Sissy need to listen up because you can talk all the garbage you want, but the truth of the matter is, there are statements being given and tips going in and they just didn’t pick them out of the air. People are talking to professionals who KNOW what they are doing. It’s just a matter of time. So keep those tips going in and keep talking to the Professionals. Clear your name if it was among the list. If you know something, anything, speak up. YOUR voice needs to be heard too.
correction “recent” not “resent”.
i could only imagine the amount of attention this has brought to barry in prison. for the inmates who are his friends + know of his innocence - they have to be happy for him. for the others, they may try to make trouble for him + set him up. i find it very difficult to believe, that barry initiated any fight in prison. i do believe he was most likely provoked by a either a jealous inmate (of all the resent attention) or by one who was asked to do it, do to all the corruption that appears to be in montana. i hope it doesn’t get any worse. it sucks that this fight had him taking a step back. i’m assuming it was set up to make him look “violent”. so, so sad + how corrupt!!! when will it end.
i urge everyone who wants to help free barry, tell all your friends + family the story, email them the link to watch it, the transcripts, and everything else - and then have them sigh the petition. if everyone can fill out one page of the petition with friends + family (25 lines per page) and make sure they get to the address indicated by the due date. he is INNOCENT!
#73 - msp does indeed read “all” inmates mail. whether they document who writes it, i’m not sure of.
About the above comment..Yes, he did something alright…he confessed to a crime he didn’t commit. THAT Is what he is referring to dummy. I think you are adding to the comment, so he sounds guilty. Did he actually TELL YOU that he killed Kim Nees? NO, I’m sure he didn’t.
Ya a coerced confession from LA detectives. wonder how many pepole in LA are in prison to because of them. And even across this country. They couldn’t even feed him the right info about the evidence at the crime scene. Read the info on this website.
98 - I was in prison with Barry in 2000/2001 in Shelby Montana and Barry made the comment “I did something I will be in prison for, for the rest of my life. All I can do is ask God to do is forgive me.”
HE DID DO SOMETHING
THAT HE WILL BE IN
PRISON FOR THE REST
OF HIS LIFE FOR.
IT IS CALLED
A CONFESSION.
SO WHAT IS SO
EARTH SHATTERING
ABOUT WHAT HE TOLD
YOU IN PRISON.
HE
HAS TOLD ME THE
SAME MANY TIMES.
YES,
HE DID DO SOMETHING
THAT HE WILL BE IN
PRISON FOR, FOR THE
REST OF HIS LIFE.
AGAIN IT IS CALLED
A CONFESSION.
THAT
IS WHAT THIS WEBSITE
IS ALL ABOUT.
NO DUH !!!!!!!!
MAYBE YOU HEARD
WHAT YOU WANTED TO.

A+ Rally!
I was in prison with Barry in 2000/2001 in Shelby Montana and Barry made the comment “I did something I will be in prison for, for the rest of my life. All I can do is ask God to do is forgive me.” Make of it what you will but I made up my mind off this comment. Guilty as charged.
Watch the Barry Beach rally at the State Capitol Building in Helena, MT on the ‘Latest News’ page of the MFJ website. Also, please print off the petition that can be found there as well and get them signed and mailed back to MFJ. Thanks to everyone.
Watch the rally video that will be up on the Latest News in about an hour to see people wearing the t-shirts.
Please tell us what the T-shirts are like or where we can see them. I will be happy to buy one. Thanks…
I’ve tried to put this on the blog, but for some reason it doesn’t seem to go thru. For those folks who were not able to attend the rally in Helena it was great! MFJ is the most amazing group of folks. For those of you who ask yourself…”what can I do to help?” - I STRONGLY urge you to go in and buy a t-shirt, give a donation for the Dateline DVD or just make a donation. No matter how small of a donation you make, it does add up. Events such as this rally takes not only a lot of work from different folks, but it takes the financial backing to continue in the efforts to free Barry Beach. Anything you can give to help I am sure will be most appreciated. Together we can make a difference for Barry. God Bless! Free Barry Beach!
Montanans For Justice will be placing the video of the Barry Beach Rally on the website by Monday afternoon for everyone to see along with photographs. The link will be under the Latest News tab. Many thanks to all who attended the rally and showed support for Barry.
The Montana State Prison may be picky, but Barry got my letter WITH stickers on it. I guess I was lucky it got through! I won’t take the chance again, though.
As far as Brian Scweitzer, I got the email too, and feel that it is BS..I’m sure he has much more power than he pretends to.

BRIAN SCHWEITZER is full of it ,The governor has the final authority to grant or deny clemency ……how can he think we are stupid……..it says they they “MAY not” it dosent say they “cant”.and he isnt bound…here is how that reads…….—–>
MCA 46-23-301. Cases of executive clemency — application for clemency — definitions. (1) (a) “Clemency” means kindness, mercy, or leniency that may be exercised by the governor toward a convicted person. The governor may grant clemency in the form of:
(i) the remission of fines or forfeitures;
(ii) the commutation of a sentence to one that is less severe;
(iii) respite; or
(iv) pardon.
(b) “Pardon” means a declaration of record that an individual is to be relieved of all legal consequences of a prior conviction.
(2) A person convicted of a crime need not exhaust judicial or administrative remedies before filing an application for clemency, except that an application may not be filed with respect to a sentence of death while an automatic review proceeding is pending before the Montana supreme court under 46-18-307 through 46-18-310. The board shall consider cases of executive clemency only upon application. All applications for executive clemency must be made to the board. An application for executive clemency in capital cases may be filed with the board no later than 10 days after the district court sets a date of execution. Applications may be filed only by the person convicted of the crime, by the person’s attorney acting on the person’s behalf and with the person’s consent, or by a court-appointed next friend, guardian, or conservator acting on the person’s behalf. The board shall cause an investigation to be made of and base any recommendation it makes on:
(a) all the circumstances surrounding the crime for which the applicant was convicted; and
(b) the individual circumstances relating to social conditions of the applicant prior to commission of the crime, at the time the offense was committed, and at the time of the application for clemency.
(3) The board shall advise the governor and recommend action to be taken. The board may recommend that clemency be granted or denied. In noncapital cases, if the board recommends that clemency be denied, the application may not be forwarded to the governor and the governor may not take action on the case. In capital cases, the board shall transmit the application and either a recommendation that clemency be granted or a recommendation that clemency be denied to the governor. The governor is not bound by any recommendation of the board, but the governor shall review the record of the hearing and the board’s recommendation before granting or denying clemency. The governor has the final authority to grant or deny clemency in those cases forwarded to the governor. An appeal may not be taken from the governor’s decision to grant or deny clemency.

Montanans for Justice, I just spoke to Barry’s mom today and she stated that Barry was put into the “hole” for 15 days and move to the MAX level. It probably was a set up, because the MT officials are really feeling the heat now more than ever. If you would like to contacted Barry do so at:
MONTANA STATE PRISON
BARRY BEACH AL#21520
700 CONLEY LAKE ROAD
DEER LODGE, MT 59722
Make sure you don’t write anything else, put any stickers or labels on the envelope. The MSP will just send it back to you, they are very picky, it took 3 tries for him to receive my first letter.
GOD BLESS U BARRY, WE ALL LOVE YA AND SUPPORT YA VERY MUCH. KAREN FROM COLORADO

I would be interested in reading the court transcripts if they could be posted on this site.
It comes as no surprise to me that another innocent person was convicted of a crime they didn’t commit. Montana courts are nutorious for convicting its citizens of crimes they dont commit, and even worse, taking the children away from perfectly good parents. This state is deplorable and its judges should all be jailed for their crimes.
It would be nice to see the case posted on the site. Good luck, if he is truly innocent, then it is on us as people to prove it, and get him out of jail.
, you should maybe take a break-don’t laud someone else’s misery-that’s {MFJ** Please state your comments without the use of profanity or at least use @#*!& symbols if you feel you need to emphasize your point **MFJ}
I tried writing a letter to brian schweitzer and this is the message he sent back
Thank you for writing me regarding Barry Beach, an inmate at the Montana State Prison.
As you may know, Mr. Beach presented an application for clemency to the Board of Pardons and Parole, which conducted a public hearing, took testimony and comments from the prosecutors, his defense team, and others, and considered extensive legal briefing. On August 26, 2007, in a 20-page opinion, the Board of Pardons and Parole denied Mr. Beach’s application.
Pursuant to Montana statutes, as Governor, I may not grant clemency unless the Board of Pardons and Parole recommends to me that clemency be granted. Mont. Code Ann. § 46-23-301. I understand you feel strongly about this matter and I appreciate that you have taken the time to let me know your thoughts. However, because the Board of Pardons and Parole recommended that clemency be denied, as Governor, I am prohibited from taking a different course of action.
Sincerely,
BRIAN SCHWEITZER
Governor
Made herself sick with guilt. I think her youngest daughter is 16 and she has a younger boy, I dont remember his age.
Curious #83; do you live in the area? How old are her kids?? Just wondering!
I heard Maude got her kids taken away and is also really sick. Maybe she will come forward before it’s too late. Anyone else here this rumor?
Amen!
KARMA?? We dont need no stinkin KARMA. Most of us who support The Truth, who support Barry Beach believe in God. KARMA-psh
Don’t forget to sign this petition!

#75 Barry isn’t a con. He is a victim in this case, just as much as Kim was a victim. Unfortunately we can not bring Kim back, but we most certainly can help Barry. Hasn’t anyone ever had you on the ground or had your arm pulled up behind you all the while saying “say Uncle…say Uncle…and I’ll let you go”??? finally you DO say “Uncle” and you are released. That is what happened to Barry. Nobody asked him to say “Uncle” - but they did interroagate him for hours on end, threatening, and promising that IF he JUST confessed they would get this all straightened out back in MT. So a person does “break weak” - it happens all the time. You just want out of the situation so bad that you tell them anything they want to hear and figure you’ll straighten it all out later. You have to remember, the confession does NOT fit the crime scene. But Barry Beach is not a “con” - he is a victim - he needs to be released!
Another thing #75, Barry was CLEARED too, and there was NO evidence that pointed to him and NO eyewitnesses, unlike the rest who were seen and lied about being home at 11:00, and those who told others they “only kicked her a few times.” Where was Barry when all of this happened?????
#75. I couldn’t understand at first myself. BUT if you are being mentally tortured, I can believe you will say what they want. I also believe he was drugged beforehand, making him paranoid as well. Pray for Sissy? I pray too; that she comes forward with the truth.
Well why doesn’t Maude come forward and clear her name then? I would certainly do that if I was being slandered all across the country. Heaven knows.
All you guys who want to say bad things about these people have to remember KARMA. I think he is just another con trying to con his way out. You guys are so sure about the people you think that have already been cleared from the scene. Why don’t the police or somebody try a new avenue? Sissy im praying for you always. People think that the truth will somday come out. I happen to think it did when barry voluntarly confessed to the murder of Kim Nees. I would never have “broke weak” and confessed to something as horrible as this. I can’t fathom it.

Thank you for coming.
I have a weird thought..Do you think the Montana State Prison reads Barry’s mail and makes note of who is sending letters?
The father of Sissys daughter is Alex Trottier Who is married to Eddy V’s sister. And Sissy raised her daughter to be just like her, a drug addict who also has children.
Ok…Who is the father of Sissy’s baby, (who is now an adult!) What ever became of this child and did Sissy raise him/her? Could this person that came forward a few weeks back claiming someone showed her a keychain necklace that belonged to Kim, be a babysitter? Any comments?
Maybe her brothers paid off some crooked politician???
Yea, but Barry’s print were cleared too!! People heard her talk, so what’s the difference between her and Barry? There was no evidence that he did it either!!!!
was sissy ever in prison??????????
was sissy ever in prison???????I found a atkinson but i am not real sure if it is her?????anyone??
To 65, Well, it’s been mentioned on the Dateline program. She says, Her prints have been taken and she’s been cleared. Then dateline commentator agrees that she doesn’t match prints, or something to that nature.
Okay…will someone explain why Sissy hasn’t been the one charged? Everything points to her being involved. Who is this person that she has so much power? There is tons of evidence against her, yet nobody seems to be zeroing in on her? This is confusing. Anyone care to explain to us? Thank you.
Unless Maude lives in seclussion, she leaves prints in public. Why not collect some prints? Although not admissible in court, the prints could be tested against the crimescene prints. If found to match; someone in law enforcement could be persuaded to try to get the case reopened. At that time legal prints could be obtained.
If Maude was innocent, don’t you think she’d be raising a ruckus over her being slandered? The silence from her is showing her guilt. Do you suppose she is making a deal to turn states evidence?
Don’t you know that the state of Montana does whatever it wants? If they want to keep things hidden, they will do just that. Montana authorities don’t follow the law, they make up the law as they go. Like refusing to allow Barry’s attorney into prison to see him. Everyone has a constitutional right to the representation of an attorney and the right to meet with an attorney face to face. The Supreme Court has ruled on that issue many times before. Yet, in Montana, it is a privilege to have an attorney. They will keep doing whatever they want.
#39. Thanks for clearing that up. I didn’t realize that it worked that way. I totally believe in Barry, but want to know something that the above writer mentioned. Did he actually say he didn’t remember killing Kim, or did they twist his words to make him sound like he could have? What do you make about the erased tape? Did Barry ever say what he thought was actually on it that they didn’t want anyone to hear??? (I don’t believe it was erased in error!) CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER???THANKS!
They twisted Barry’s words and continue to do so.
The government erased the tape?
Why would they do this?
I am from the government I am here to help you.
Oh, quit being nieve (spelling).
It wasn’t erased in error, these people did it on purpose and is that is stated in the testimony, go to the MFJ website under case details.
Just like Grayhawk admits to breaking into the evidence room.
Just like the government admits to losing evidence,
Just like, Just Like and just like
I have talked to Barry and he has told me that he doesn’t ever remember giving them this so called confession (that the detectives typed up later). He states he only remembers play acting.
COME ON, Play act along with me.
Now, we know you didn’t do it Barry, but help us. Can you just pretend you were there and tell us what you would have done if you were there. Come on just pretend.
A TEENAGER PRETENDING
AND WANTING TO GO BACK HOME TO MONTANA,
WHERE IT IS SAFE,
WHERE EVERYONE KNOWS HIM,
AND HE WILL BE ABLE TO GO ON HIS WAY.
THEN EVIL PEOPLE ENTER
The story continues, what have you done to help Barry today
DWIDDLE DWEEBE
I believe the key to this whole thing is getting someone in authority to at least admit that Barry could not have acted alone. I am not saying that Barry was involved, but the authorities seem to believe he is guilty. Anyhow, Barry could not have acted alone if the fingerprints and bloody palm-print do not belong to him nor Kim Nees. Therefore, there was someone else at the crime scene. Find that person(s) and you will get the real story, and then Barry will be shown to be innocent. The law requires the authority to investigate ALL the perpetrators, not just one of many.
MFJ: I don’t understand why they couldn’t MAKE authorities straighten out who the palm print belonged to??? How can this be a secret, and why can’t someone insist it’s tested? Is it still available??
HEY, IF YOU CAN INSIST THAT IT BE TESTED, PLEASE DO SO. TO my knowledge Centurion or MFJ does not have the power to get the prints tested. The only one that can do that and access the fingerprint system (AFIS, or something like that its called) is a police officer and not all of them can even do this. A court order is another way to get it done. So how do we get it done? That is the question of the day. So Sad. I know of many people who have INSISTED till they were blue in the face. Insist away, only the government can do this and they are not cooperating, I wonder why, don’t you? THE GARBAGE IS STARTING TO SMELL.
As I have previously commented, I am a former MSP inmate. I know Barry. He may not be an angel, but he is as close as a locked up convict can get. There have been no “war stories” nor has there ever been a mention of a son. Hope this clears the air since there seems to be people who want to tarnish Barry’s name for no reason.
-Reformed
#35, I know a former inmate from MSP who was a few cells down from Barry for a few years. He says Barry was a decent man that didn’t cause trouble and was active in various things throughout MSP while he was serving his sentence there. He absolutely believes Barry is innocent and most certainly wouldn’t say that if Barry proved him otherwise with ‘war stories.’
All I have to say is that time will tell how full of S@#t you are. Go away and quit starting rumors.
All I have to say is that time will tell how full of S@#t you are. Go away and quit starting rumors.
I think there are a lot of inmates jealous of Barry’s fame at the moment and will say just about anything. I have NEVER heard about a child of Barry’s. I think he would have said something to me by now if that had any truth.
I don’t think he has a son. I am in immediate family and this is the first I’ve heard of this. Of course, I don’t have to be in the know of everything either. I’ve never heard it mentioned, that’s all.
Why has Barry Beach’s son never been mentioned. I found out through another inmate. What’s up with that. I’m just curious. What’s his name? How old is he? All I have to say is time will tell.
#47 - wouldn’t that be something. She SHOULD seek legal advice and she SHOULD get herself cleared before those other two women team up and lay the entire blame on Maude.
Sissy and Joanne are still in Poplar so it would make sense then that they team up against Maude. I’ve always believed that the first one to come forward is going to have the power as far as bargaining. One can only hope and pray that this is true! For not only Barry’s sake but also for Kim!
Just checked out some of the case details. This is so sad. I have a 17 year old daughter and I can’t imagine what this family has gone through. As far as Barry goes, there is just NO way he did this. NO WAY.
Thank you MOST KINDLY #45… I’m on my way!
Very interesting #47. Am sure everyone on Barry’s behalf is hoping that this is true. Just one step closer to putting this case to rest for Barry and also the Nees family. (That is if it is true) Will keep checking these blogs to see if anything ever comes of this.
Gossip is that Maude has sought legal advice admits she kicked Kim. Says others were there.
Truth or not? Does anyone know?
First of all, what would a lie detector test do? Nothing. If you do not believe he is innocent by the overwhelming lack of evidence against him and the statements of many others, why would a lie detector test that can be faked or manipulated change your mind now?
Second, I believe you are one of the original investigators in this case that is trying to keep your reputation untarnished. Here is why I think that: The ‘profile’ that was given for the murderer in the Louisiana cases was that he had homosexual tendencies. The Louisiana detectives treated Barry like a homosexual during the interrogations because of that profiling. Barry has always liked girls, has never had any other homosexual accusations brought against him, was not the murderer in the Louisiana cases, and is not homosexual. So, if you bring up something about Barry being a homosexual, then you are probably one of the idiots that thinks he is still guilty of the Louisiana murders, even though he has been cleared by DNA evidence and they have found the real murderer.
Finally, get a life. The word is “Ciao”, which is Italian for “Goodbye”. But, I am sure you meant chow (like doggy-chow) because I know my dog is smarter than you are. Woof!
#44 - Case Details is a link on the left-hand side of the page where there is a red background, the letters are white and there is a handprint that marks which link you are on. Click on that link for Case Details. There you will find a page with lots of information, plus 7 more links for information relating to Case Details. Pay particular attention to the Case Documents, where you will find information such as the confession, the conversations between Jay Via (Louisianna Detective) and Dean Mahlum (Roosevelt County Sheriff’s Dept.), Barry’s transcribed statement contradicting the confession, all the FBI reports, the autopsy report, photographs and much, much more. Montanans For Justice has made everything available that is available so that people can make an informed decision about Barry’s innocence.
I apologize for the person’s comment #41. They had no reason to say what they did and most of us would be more than happy to help you. Just remember that we are not always on the computer at the same time you are. It sometimes may take awhile to get a response from people that know the answers. Thanks for being here and for your support.
- A Beach Bum
Okay…now can someone kindly direct me to Case Details????Thanks
Yes, #41! Nobody needs a smart alec. If you don’t reference the number, how does someone know who you are talking to? If you told me to go to case details previously, I assure you I didn’t know this pertained to me! Thank you #42; you are right..we are here to get information and to help Barry….Now, I will go to Case Details!
Something to consider… Some folks are just now coming on board, either they never heard of this and have heard thru others that are making them aware, some may have just watched the Dateline show for the first time. Some may have just came across this website. So those of us who have been on this blog for a while now need to help these new folks get up to speed. We don’t need to be making remarks like “quit being so demanding, read first” - Just simply redirecting to the other link would work and sounds much better. After all….we are ALL trying to help Barry, so let’s stick together, not put a wedge between any of us. There are a LOT Of folks out there fighting for Barry. (very few like #35) Remember that! It’s ok to contact those other television folks, let them decide if they want to contact Dateline to do a follow up or not. We just need to bring the awareness to them, they’ll do the rest. So keep writing to everyone you can think of. Don’t forget to write to Jon Tester and Max here in Montana!!!
You need to go to the “case details” and you will find all your answers there. Quit being so demanding and read first!
#39. Thanks for clearing that up. I didn’t realize that it worked that way. I totally believe in Barry, but I want to know something that the above writer mentioned. Did he actually say he didn’t remember killing Kim, or did they twist his words to make him sound like he could have? What do you make about the erased tape? Did Barry ever say what he thought was actually on it that they didn’t want anyone to hear??? (I don’t believe it was erased in error!) CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER???THANKS!
just remember everyone, that ONLY NBC and or dateline can do barry’s story,, they have the exclusive on it…
nothing can be done as far as media (major tv) without their ok..
#35 - I guess we’ll all assume you won’t be joining us in Helena this weekend! Everyone in Poplar and nationally now knows that Sissy and Maude and Joanne murdered Kim. Kim will follow them the rest of thier ever breathing days. Sissy’s remark about getting to Heaven and hoping those ministry guys will apologize to her for accussing her of this horrible crime - well guess what - NONE of them are going to Heaven. They should enjoy thier time here on Earth along with Marc Racicot, because when thier day comes, their going DOWN! There is not one single ounce of physical evidence that puts him at the murder scene. There is not one DNA test that showed he committed this murder and there is not one single witness. HOWEVER there ARE witnesses that saw those women kill Kim Nees. I’d say that’s worth a LOT more than a lie detector test. You OBVIOUSLY have something to hide yourself or you wouldn’t be so quick to shoot your mouth off. Anyone who reads the evidence, anyone who saw Dateline, anyone who KNOWS Barry, KNOWS he did not do this. So entertain us some more with your lack of knowledge.
, YOU SOUND LIKE SISSY………BEEN THERE BEFORE HAVENT YA?!!!
oooooooooooo somebody is soooo negative!! #35 Barry did not kill Kim. Sissy and the others have been bragging that they are the ones who did it for years now. Where have you been? Why do you think Maude tried to have herself committed when the trial time rolled around. Who are you Sissy? Maude? Joanne? Eddy?
well… if you guys think that barry is sooooo inocent, why dont you get him to take a lie detector test and get him to answer “yes” or “no” instead of “i might have” or “i could have”?… and to all you people, do you guys forget to talk to inmates that has heard barry beaches “war story”… and this is for you barry, i dont know if your pitchin or catchin… it dont matter, which one?…just get better at it… you will be there for awhile… chow

Montanans for Justice, what is the update of Barry at this time? According to a past comment he was to be out on May 3rd, however he is still in the hole. What is going on? something does not seem right. I have heard quite a few concerns regarding Barry’s welfare. Can you clarify any of this for us.
I think that your questions are valid. What part has Timer Moses been playing in any of this since then? Has he offered to help Centurion at all? Was he present at the clemency hearing?
I googled TImer Moses to see what I could read about him. It would start with things like “well known criminal defense attorney” and “prominent Billings lawyer” “high profile”. IT seems to me that “they” got to him too. Ya know, the corruption? It seemed like he did nothing to defend Barry. His sister did offer this at the time, she wasn’t allowed to testify. He didn’t call the analysist Melnikoff or let Barry testify at his own trial. Doesn’t that seem odd? I mean this guy was discredited. He could have been here too if allowed to do so, so they could have used it against him. Maybe Moses was threatent too?
Any comments to #18 or 19?
#26 - funny that you mentioned this, because I have thought the same thing. The report said though that the nails were clean, however since the Forensic specialist was fired for misconduct, it is possible that more corruption lies in the lab as well. It could be possible that the there IS something under those nails! I think that the right folks could get a court order exhuming the body. However before doing something so drastic, it would be nice if ALL the folks who gave finger and palm prints were tested against the bloody palm print. I believe some gave samples, but there are those that did not, and those that have not been tested or compared. This might be a much easier routte first to eliminate that first. As a last effort I would agree and a court order might be obtained to exhuming the body. Your right if this was MY chld or sister - I would most certainly want to know who was responsbile for this. To simply put a man in prison and then THINK and believe that they have the right person, would not give me a peace of mind, if there was “resonable doubt” that it was done by someone elese. As is in this case - there is considerable amount of doubt !
O.k., I was in Helena last week. I got to read a Helena newspaper and in it I read some disturbing news to me. I can’t remember the exact name, but it was free in the hotel I was staying in. It was on Tues. or Weds. that I read a small article about a murder in the 70’s. This 5 year old girl was sexually assaulted and murdered, but the killer was never found. They now want to find the murderer basing this on the ability to use d.n.a. I am assuming this is by exhuming the body? I know in my own heart that I would want to do this if this is my child. I also know that it seems extremely tacky, if you would, or a horrible thing for the Nees family, to even consider asking if this sort of thing would be possible. It was said somewhere that she fought back and tried hard to get away. I would think that under nails there might be d.n.a? Since in that article it mentions that d.n.a is extremely durable, not their words exactly, but what I can remember that it meant.

Under “CONTACT US” - are links to send emails. Also there are two links under each one of those. One is for “tips” and the other is for “Stories” - please send emails to both of them.
I have informed them of the Rally on Saturday - maybe we can get CNN to report. Also ask them to do a story on Barry.
I have sent out several emails today.
This is the week folks…. building up to the rally. Notify your newspapers, television stations, magazines, local reporters of any kind, national broadcasters, celebrities, nobody should be exempt no matter how far fetch you think they are. We need attention for Barry! We need more publicity nationally.
If anyone has ideas, please share them. If anyone has email addresses to share please do so.
*Two things I don’t understand. Why would Barry’s Step Mom purposely get him in trouble? Is his Father still married to her? And why did everyone, including Barry say nobody saw him in bed that night, but then his sister came forward much later and said she saw him. Just
curious.
FREE BARRY
MFJ: I don’t understand why they couldn’t MAKE authorities straighten out who the palm print belonged to??? How can this be a secret, and why can’t someone insist it’s tested? Is it still available??
I agree with #15 - the first jury is not responsible, they went with what was provided to them at that time. It is unfortunate however that Racicot being the snake he is was able to mislead the jurrors in to believing that Barry confessed in front of his attorney. When that was not the case. EVEN ifff the judge told them to disregard it, Racicot planted a seed that should have caused the whole thing to be dismissed. Centurion is and has been doing a great job, but one would think they could put more pressure on some of the folks in Poplar. They know a whole lot more than what is being said. Some of these folks do not live in Poplar anymore and the pressure should be put on them to talk. In todays technology there would be several ways to go about this. Any thoughts?
How utterly sad!
re jurors: Comment from Rich Hepburn.
Early in the investigation I found four jurors willing to talk to me. My interviews with them were non-confrontational, and I assured them that I would respect their privacy and anonymity. I wanted to find out from them what they heard, what stuck, and what influenced them. In my opinion, no purpose would be served by finding them and running new information by them. Unless one or more of them voluntarily come forward, I urge that they be left alone.
Shortly before Barry’s hearing last summer, I came accross a fifth juror that I hadn’t found earlier. She wept at the possibility that she might have made a mistake. I explained to her that Barry Beach was run over by a train. The conductor was Mahlum and the engineer Racicot and the jurors were mere passengers.The original jurors are not responsible for Barrry’s predicament and should be left alone. Someday, perhaps, we’ll get a chance to go before another jury and we will be prepared.
——————————————————————————–
Would they convict today with new evidence and testimoney
like from his sister who wasn’t allowed to the first time. I wonder what they felt and thought if they saw the
Dateline show and this website. Sounds like his first attorney and the judge and Racicot didn’t do very good job
Anything about jury tampering or jurors being biased ever
come up? Racicot told jurors stuff he shouldn’t have
so what would stop him from other crooked actions. All angles on this case need to be reviewed. So let the jurors respond on this website?
Dwidle,
many of the jurors are still alive and Centurion has spoken to a couple of them.. What was the outcome? They belived barry was guilty back then based on the cops stating he admitted to his attorney and gave a confession to his attorney,, they also were very moved by the “role playing’ of the confession by jay via and mahlum..
I agree that the original jurors would be an interesting interview. Keep those ideas coming and sending those letters! Barry appreciates our support too so give him your hellos and keep him in your prayers! Thanks MFJ!
Does anyone know whom the Jurors where back in the year of his trial, I think 1982?
It would be interesting, if they were alive, and we could find their names, to see if they would convict Barry on the evidence they were presented. Can anyone post that information here?
Thanks
Dwiddle Dweebe
It’s only fair to mention that the other guy in the fight also got sent to the hole and also had a disciplinary hearing. Anytime there is a fight among inmates at MSP, if both are still standing, they both get punished no matter who started it. In prison, you may not start fights but if you don’t fight back you will be abused. Given Barry’s behavior over the last 25 years, there is no doubt in my mind that the other guy swung first. Barry had no choice but to swing back.
Laura,yes Barry was in a fight last week. He had to have a hearing. He is more upset with himself than anything. He bumped in to the wrong person at the wrong time and that stuff happens. So a disciplinary hearing was held and he should be getting out of the “hole” today hopefully. He feels he let his supporters down more than anything. yes he most certainly needs our continued support. Keep writing letters to anyone you can think of! Write a letter to Barry as well.
Thanks for clearing up my ?s and I do know what you mean about these things happen. Barry still has my unending support and my letters are still going out each week. I will be praying for him and MFJ members!
That’s right! Keep sending those letters! I am still unclear as to why Barry had a disciplinary hearing…it appears that there was a fight? Do you have any more info MFJ or is it being kept on the “DL”…thanks for everything that you are doing! Barry needs our support more than ever, it sounds like to me. I will be with you all in spirit on May 10th!
Keep writing letters to as many folks as you can think of. Nobody should be exempt when sending a letter, even if you think it’s far fetched! Keep sending Barry letters, as he needs to know that we continue to fight for him.
Any time there is any type of fight, rule violation of any kind, there is a “write up” given. The next step is to have a disiplinary hearing with a hearing officer at the prison, and they have a hearing with the inmate to determine what they feel the consequences are, there are points given when an inmate enters the prison depending on the crime.. and when they get a violation of any kind, points are given.. because Barry is in prison on Deliberate Homocide he has HIGH points anyway,., he had to earn his place on low side by having no write ups.. so when he had this hearing and fighting carries alot of points,,, then they send him back to the high side where he loses alot of what he had earned as far as priveledges, etc… The high side is higher security and less priviledges..
Montanans for Justice, why was Barry put through a disciplinary hearing? What does it mean 3 years on the high side? Everybody keep sending those letters! Barry needs our help and prayers!
