Someone just posted on the Unsolved Wiki (and I found news articles confirming this) that Ed Carter, Frank Black, and Leslie Duncan, went on trial for the murders of Candy Belt and Gloria Ross this September.
Candy and Gloria worked at a massage parlor in Oak Grove, Kentucky, run by Tammy Papler. They were both murdered in the parlor back in 1994. Their case was featured on Unsolved Mysteries in 1997.

The three men were arrested and charged with the murders back in 2013. Sadly, all three have been acquitted of the murder charges. :(

Ugh, this is terrible news. :(

But thank you for posting.

:mad: Disgusting.

Congratulations, Ed Carter. You have literally gotten away with murder.

what?

BS

Very disappointed.

Wow. Juries can really suck sometimes.

Ugh, and I read that Carter was even crying tears of joy once he heard the verdict :mad: .

That said, from reading this article, it doesn't sound like the prosecution exactly had an airtight case. I know we're all certain Carter's guilty, but I can see how a jury with no prior knowledge of the case might have believed there wasn't enough evidence to convict:

Having been on a criminal jury that voted not guilty, I totally get this. There can be a lot of circumstantial evidence but when you get the instructions that it must be "beyond all reasonable doubt", it can be tough. I remember discussing that I thought the guy probably did the deed, however they really couldn't prove it.

Now I do think there are juries that get it wrong (or choose to) like in OJ's case, but there are also times when the prosecution's case is just weak. Based on the link from RobinW it sounds like this happened.

By the way, no offense to you, LooksLikeCRicci... I know your cases are always solid! :D
