Post by c***@yahoo.comPost by d***@bellsouth.netI have an article about the Leo Frank case up
athttp://www.crimemagazine.com/05/leofrank,0314-5.htm. I would be
interested to learn what posters to this newsgroups think of my piece.
It didn't take much of a scan to see that it's just another piece
of typical pro-Leo Frank propaganda, that is relentlessly (STILL)
being spewed by the Leo Frank apologists, mainly Jews and some
non-Jews who are ignorant enought to swallow the malarky hook,
line and sinker.
Leo Frank was guilty of the rape and murder of 13-year-old Mary
Phagan. I probably know more about this case than you'll ever know.
---
Really? Then why doesn't the time line match up? In fact, layout all
what you believe points to Leo's guilt.
Post by c***@yahoo.comHe used black man Jim Conley to dispose of the body. The Alonzo
Mann revelation 69 years later (in 1982) means nothing to me,
and it apparently meant nothing to the Georgia Board of Pardons
and Paroles at that time, when they refused to grant Frank a posthumous
pardon. (They did cave to some Jewish pressure somewhat in 1986,
but clearly DID NOT exonnerate Leo Frank of Mary Phagan's rape
and murder, but based their decision on the fact that the State
failed to properly protect Frank while incarcerated, as he was
taken out and lynched in 1915.)
----
All you have done is state the prosecution's statement without using
supporting evidence? Just saying that Leo Frank is guilty of the rape
and murder of Mary Phagan and Mr. Conaly helped dispose of the body is
saying nothing in support of the case. Use key trail and appelette
evidence to backup your assertion that Mr. Frank is guilty.
Post by c***@yahoo.comThe Alonzo Mann claim in no way exonnerates Frank of the rape
and murder; it only backs the idea that Conley disposed of the body
for Frank. Jim Conley was a go-fer and a problem drinker at the
time, as he was at the time of his death many years later, in
1962. He never had any history of sexual assault or murder
during all those years.
----
Neither did Leo Frank have any history of sexual assault. And even if
Conely had, given the justice system of the south of that time, I would
find it suspect. He did have an arrest record for petty theft for what
its worth. Mr. Frank didn't. More relevant, Mr. Conely changed his
story three times while being interrogated.
Mr. Conely said that he helped Mr. Frank despose of the body in the
basement *together*, that is Mr. Frank, according to Mr. Conley,
physically went with him carrying the body with him. Alonzo Mann saw
Conley and only Conley carrying and disposing of the body near the
elevator shaft contray to what he nevously said at trial. He is one of
many who recanted after the trial. Add to it that Mr. Frank had many
eyewitness as to his wareabouts during the murder for instance those
who saw him walking home at between 1pm and 1:30pm at.
Post by c***@yahoo.comMuch is made of the fact that Gov. Slaton commuted Frank's sentence
to life. So, if he believed Frank was innocent, then WHY didn't
he give him a pardon, instead of a life sentence?
----
Maybe because he was getting death threats against himself and his
wife? He actually stated that he believed that Mr. Frank was innocent,
but weighing the appeal court findings and and the uneasiness of
feeling of the trial judge over the guilty verdict, he split the
differnce. He was hoping that in time, Leo would be proved innocent. In
the meanwhile he commuted his sentence to life imprisonment so he would
have time to prove it. After he rendered his dicission, he had to have
a battalion of soldiers to protect him and his family such was the
feeling.
Post by c***@yahoo.comThe Leo Frank story won't die because the Jews continue to
relentlessly bring it up, while trying to make child rapist/
murderer Leo Frank a poster boy in their endless whines about
anti-Semitism. Making child rapist/murder Leo their poster
boy doesn't do much for their cause, but Leo Frank is the ONLY
Jew ever lynched in America, so they've milked the story till
there's nothing left but the smoke.

Actually there has been four jews lynched in American history.
Can anyone at this time completely and dtotally say that Leo Frank
didn't murder little Mary Phagan? Maybe not. Perhaps, if any of the
trail evidence is still in existance, perhaps modern 21st century
forensic science can shed more light. But going on what we know now,
there is ample reasonable doubt to Frank's guilt. One thing for sure,
guilty or not-and I say not-Leo Frank did not receive a fair trial.
Your statements that all this support for Leo Frank's innocence is part
of some Jewish plot to mine it for sympathy amongst other things is
nothing different from the raging anti-semetic atmosphere before during
and after the trial.
