" JAMIES FAMILY STANDS BEHIND HIM AND MAINTAINS HIS INNOCENCE! THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SAD SITUATION. JAMIE HAS FIVE CHILDREN WHO WOULD LOVE TO SEE THERE FATHER HAVE A FAIR TRIAL! "

" I HOPE JAMIE DOES GET A NEW TRIAL AT LEAST !REMEBER THERE WAS NO DNA, HAIR ,BLOOD, THE ONLY THING THAT TIED HIM TO THE SCENE WAS AN EYEWITNESS THAT DECIDED IT WAS HIM TEN YEARS LATER , NOW PELO SAYS THAT NEVER EVEN HAPPENED IT WOULD BE A CRIME TO HAVE AN INNOCENT MAN IN PRISON FOR ALL THESE YEARS "

" To Concerned1: I know Pelo pretty well and he is not the person you have described. I think your bias is getting the best of you and you have not stated one pertinent fact in either of your postings, just a very near sided opinion. Keep in mind even Jeffery Dahmers family supported him during his trial as most families do in these type cases. However family support does not have anything to do with the actions of the accused. Pelo is grasping at straws here and has had almost two years and three sets of legal minds to plan strategy with. Do you think a trained police officer with that much time and legal talent at his disposal would not come up with some type of TRICKS to pull on the eve of his trial? This is merely a message Pelo is sending to the prosecution that he can throw a wrench in the works of settled cases throughout his career as a cop. I anxiously await your response concerned 1. "

" to Michelle 24-
First of all, when I posted my comment at 11:18, your comment of 10:41 wasn't even there, so there's no reason for you to get upset with me like I'm commenting about your comment. Although I did comment a few minutes later when I saw your comment but alas...it's not been posted yet either but I'm guessing by the time this comment (current time 12:55) posts it will be there and you'll have some other comment to make. I do have respect for those who want to know the truth. Maybe you could have the same respect. As I said in my post, the real story here is about Snow, not about Pelo. Whatever the reasons Pelo is "helping", although he was simply answering Snow's letter doesn't really matter. The fact that he's acknowledging the inconsistencies is enough for me. Everyone deserves a fair trial with all of the evidence presented and that didn't happen for some reason in this case. "

" Re: Birdgirl~ Don't tell me I'm missing the point by asking a valid question. If you can't answer, fine--but have respect for those who want to know the truth, if that could be possible. "

" I think you're all missing the point here. Snow was convicted of this crime because he had inadequate, ineffective counsel and the prosecutors wanted to lay it to rest and what better way to solve a crime in this town but to convict someone, ANYONE. It's not about the truth...it's about how you play the game and how much money you have to defend yourself! Clearly it's too late now to ever figure out who committed this crime, but at least give Snow a chance to prove his innocence. I'm convinced with a new trial and a good defense, the evidence or lack there of will clear him. "

" Again I ask::::: Why now, Pelo are you helping this Snow person? How long has it been? My thoughts to the Little family. "

" to Concerned1: If I were house hunting at midnight near a house that was NOT for sale, I would expect the same treatment that he is getting now. I cannot wait until the rest of the facts are presented. Maybe there will be something presented to change my mind, but from what I know so far, I doubt it. "

" To: Paladin: Ummm... I read the letter too and did not reach the same conclusion as you. "Rambling blather?" It seemed to me that the letter was very clear and precise, with simple prayers for Snow. If prayers turn you off that much, then I pray for your soul. "

" Thank you, I hadn't read the letter and now I understand his comments. Please except my apology Floyd.
i am very aware people that commit crimes or are in prison find they are religious, found Jesus and have repented from their wicked ways and I believe that is true in some cases. I also know you will probably see a lot of "religious" convicts just like the best place to find a hypocrite is in church. Thank you for calling my attention to the letter, I rarely click those links, I think I should pay closer attention.
"

" ...to "MRS.": If you read the rambling blather that was Mr. Pelo's letter, you would know why "floyd" talked about "religious crap". Here is my suggestion: read Mark Twain's "Lionizing Murderers" essay. That should readily demonstrate to you how and why incarcerated people suddenly start to write letters espousing profound spiritual conversions or concerns. "

" He is connecting his name with that of the UIC Innocence Project, without acually being tied. Not a bad strategy, but that's what is, a strategy, on the eve of the trial. "

" Floyd, where does it saw anything remotely conected to religion? You will have your chance to get a few digs about religion in a few days. I am sure it will be covered in this paper. As far as evidence against this Jamie Snow I would say there may be something to it but I wouldn't bet money on it. Give him his day in court and what ever happens happens. As far as evidence against Pelo, if he had his face covered there better be a lot of DNA evidence or IMO he will walk. To:concerned1, many families stick behind another family member charged with a crime. Lagroan and Hamm come to mind.
not saying it is wrong, just it really doesn't carry much weight.

" You think this will be based on eye witness testimony? Bad guy was wearing a skimask. The victims could not identify him. Perhaps they have other evidence. "

" Nobody is ever guilty of any crime in this culture- except the police, and prosecutors, and judges. "

" to Realist and Zeva: good thing you're not on the jury, geez! I happen to know Pelo and family and know that he IS a caring, loving individual and a wonderful father. The kids (who are all old enough to make their own decisions on this matter) have been there to show support for their father, not as a publicity stunt. The family knows Pelo better than you and their support of him through all of this shows their belief in his innocence. Judge not, lest ye be judged by the same measure! "

" He shows what a con he is. Notice he puts the religious crap in there to make people think he's such an upstanding person. Where's Jesse Jackson?

"

" Sounds like a publicity stunt to me. I could be wrong, of course. "

" Heres my hmble opinion. Since eye witness is such a big issue in this case, i believe he is setting up incedents in his own history where eye witness is unreliable. "

" This man needs a worry stone to help him through all this. As for Mother Theresa, your mistaken, it was the Pope AND Mother Theresa. Doesn't he have enough to worry about without taking all this on? This is all for show, trying to appeal to the general public that he is a caring, loving individual. Anyone can have two sides to them and I've met quite a few. They do this on TV for all those court shows. Who knows the jury isn't in yet. "

" I'm having trouble following the tactics, first he has his kids in the courtroom during jury selection. Now he's helping a convicted murderer. I'm thinking during the trial Mother Theresa will be sitting next to him....... "

" Pelo strikes back. "
