  • It is astounding how much the Bakersfield hysteria parallels the original American Witchhunt -- the Salem witch trials of the 1690s. The phenomenon was captured most vividly in a highly readable book, "The Devil in Massachusetts," by Marian Starkey -- published in the 1950s, I believe.

  • To Gary: I agree; the biggest mistake any person can make, especially when they are innocent, is to talk to police or any law enforcement officials thinking (naively) that "if I just tell them the truth, they will understand."

  • Because it is so difficult for ANYONE who has been falsely accused and wrongfully convicted of any type of crime, especially a sex crime to get a conviction reversed, it is just as important to try and prevent wrongful convictions as much as humanly possible, before they actually happen at trial.

  • To ExKernCountyProsecutor: That's what puzzles me the most; why hasn't DA Jagels been formally investigated before now? These massive cases of injustice happened on HIS watch, so why is he getting away with verbal criticism only?

  • To Tamlyn: I'd pretty much decided to do just that; ignore the rest of "Neilesl's" posts. It's obvious (to me at least) that he's purposely trying to discredit and smear the Witch Hunt film and its producers because it doesn't agree with his preconceived POV.

  • To Don/Dana: I tried accessing the WitchHuntMovie.com site one more time; again, I couldn't get the site up. After waiting about five minutes, a message popped up saying I'd need Adobe Flash Player to access the site, which at this point I'm not sure is necessary.
