It’s the DNA evidence that’s hard to ignore but I did say I’d consider a theory that he didn’t do it, so I’m all ears.
My theory is post 1341 a few posts above, I guess you didn't see it.

I guess I did see it but then I read a post a few down from yours that made the excellent point that if he was paid to do this, now would be an excellent time to snitch for a reduced sentence, as opposed to be the only one found guilty and the only one spending the rest of his life in jail.

So I can’t get behind that theory. I’ll keep waiting for others.

The petition is saying DNA evidence could be tainted. If he’s truly not guilty of the murder, I guess all evidence was manufactured. That’s the only “he’s innocent “ theory that seems to have any plausibility at all.

If he admitted being paid to kill her he had zero chance of an acquittal. He may not even know who paid him and he wouldn't get a reduced sentence for 'snitching'. He may not even have killed her, he might have been paid to grab her phone and then the so called "jacked up white guys" killed her. (An anonymous letter supposedly from a cop said they were looking for two jacked up white guys.)

You ask for a theory of what could have happened then dismiss it out of hand based on a theory that admitting to murder would help his situation.

Whoever had the vendetta against the father was later paid off, possibly from the hundreds of thousands of dollars raised as a reward, and is no longer a threat to the father. That's my theory. Chanel Lewis is a patsy taking the rap for whoever had a beef with the father.

Well that’s true.

Why taint it with his DNA though? Why not someone who has a past of attacking women and/or who fits the profile? It would've made things easier for the police and the prosecution and they wouldn't have to deal with all of the noise on the side.

IDK who killed the girl, but Lewis got a bad trial. Judge and some jurors biased in favor of HB family, rape victim allowed on jury.
Lewis needs an appeal and maybe a change of venue.



That's what I'm thinking. I think this was a mob, unpaid debt hit against the father.

Sorry, but why would the mob rape, assault and kill his daughter? That's not standard mob practice. They would simply kill him, period.


The convicted killer has mental problems (in my opinion), but he clearly is the killer. There's a confession, DNA evidence, I believe there are cell phone records placing him at the scene around the time of killing (I might be mistaken), and he had multiple lacerations consistent with someone trying to fight him. Rot in jail, rot in hell you POS.
