Does anyone really believe everything they see on screen? Is anyone naïve enough to think the truth is what “entertainment” is after? I don’t think so, I have faith people think for themselves and look into stories they see or hear, before making judgments themselves.
I have not seen the Deadly Women series yet, I do not have cable, and will be looking for the recent release of their rendition of my sister's case. I found out about it last spring, but couldn't get info on the content. Though I've seen a few clips of their other "shows" and was disappointed in the sensationalizing of violence. I also know what is printed after convictions is not always the TRUTH. Though it can be called legal because once a U.S. jury decides a case, it is then "legally true".
What about all the cases you can refer to that were over-turned and proven wrong? Whether it be DNA, or recanted testimonies, etc; it is only logical for a person to consider some of the horrible reports made of crimes that end up not true. (Please visit Innocence Project, Amnesty International, Equal Justice USA, Center for Wrongful Convictions, Death Penalty Info Center, to see they are over worked with cases the system has wrongfully convicted. Each has more than they can get to.)
I know what I know-
Ever consider why isn't there more out there to read about this case? Why is it so hard to get any facts? There aren't any facts. You can't even track down a trial transcript if you wanted to...
Thank God I got a copy right after the trial.
I was there for the accusations, I was there for the so-called "evidence", I was there for the entire trial.
I know this was a fabrication. A horrific, hurtful scam.
What would you really like to know about the case? Please ask me.
If someone has a link for me to see the show on this case, please share it with me, thank you.

I do want to answer the rest of the commenters, and I will, this is just an easy one for now.
To the comment about the Jillian article: Thank you for sharing info with me, I have had that article in my resources for many years, and there is a link to it on this blog (a commenter who dissagrees with me submitted it and I published it for them.) Jillian is Ms May's eldest child, she did not interview Kerry. The author of that article interviewed Jillian about her feelings after she watched the Joan Lunden interview of Kerry. Again thank you for passing on any info about the case, if you find more, I'd appreciate seeing it.
(please refere to my note in the above article)
*to any of you interested: if you would like to have a private conversation with me by email, just submit your email in a comment and I will write you that way. I will not publish your email address. All comments are held for my aproval before publishing. Some of you have a lot to say and I want to answer the many questions and ask some too: but it may be too long for a blog content.
Hello Victoria. I actually came across your site while trying to look up info on this case after seeing the extremely sensationalized version of the story on the Deadly women show. It was the second story on season 5 episode 14, "Pleasure from Pain" You are very right about there being VERY LITTLE info available on your sister's case. Hopefully I am not the minority, but I tend to research stories that I come across on tv, because not everything you see, hear, or even read for that matter, are true. Unfortunately though, there are far too many that consider what they hear in the media to be 'end all be all' of truth. I actually got my bachelor's degree in journalism, so perhaps that's why it's inherit within me to get to the truth behind stories that pique my interest. It is sad that for many, such as myself, the Deadly Women version of the story will be the first, and for some the only, side of your sister's story that people will hear. I have tried to find a free video of the broadcast on the web where you could watch it, but so far haven't had much luck. I don't have the swiftest internet connection where I'm located right now, so you may have more luck than I did. Just google Deadly Women, season 5, episode 14 Pleasure from Pain. I commend you on your efforts to get your sister's side of the story heard, and also wanted to let you know that your efforts are working, because yours was the first site I came across on my google search of this case. My thoughts and prayers are with you both, and I wish you many blessings throughout the holiday season. Also, I have the episode recorded on my dvr, so if nothing else, I could always record it and upload it for you myself.

It's sad but true....people believe everything they see on TV. Programs like Deadly women are only interested in 1 thing: RATINGS.
ReplyDeleteIf she did even a quarter or half of what they showed on that deadly women episode then she needs to be put to death! If not and she's innocent then may God be with her.
ReplyDeleteI just finished watching the episode on the ID Channel about your sister. And of course, after watching that I think your sister is a monster. I don't know what the truth is. I have never seen the facts of the case but with that episode out there I don't think your sister has much hope. Good luck to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria, I do agree with the above comment. But sometimes our siblings aren't who we think they are, for instance, my brother a perverted individual, who watched child porn and sold the disgusting porn, was convicted.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I did read an interview by the daughter (Jillian) the victims daughter, who was murdered by your sister. She had interviewed your sister. I'm not sure what the link is, but I'll find it for you. It seems to be a great interview. I just can't see someone totally making all this up. I do realize there are 2 sides to every story. I do understand that t.v STRETCHES the truth, for ratings. Pathetic I do think so!!!

Hello Nic & Ron,
ReplyDeleteThank you for expressing yourself well and open minded.
To those who write hostile or hysterical comments that haven't any intention of having an intelligent conversation here on this blog:
I will not publish your rants.
I have published and addressed other opposing views on this blog, but they presented their views intelligently and with some respect to all concerned, just as I aspire to do here.
I am happy to answer questions, I understand this is a frightening subject - the fact our system sometimes lies and is corrupt. Most people don't want to face the truth that we aren't as safe as we kid ourselves.
I hear some voices saying I am blinded because it is my sister's case- that is not so. I witnessed this fabrication and conspiracy. Please look at similar situations; unfortunately this is not the only time this has happened...
A good read for all of you who'd like to learn more about HOW these things can happen is SNITCHING, by law professor Natapoff. It is current and uses cases to demonstrate the problem with this system. It also proposes solutions. It's a good read.
Besides that it would be even better if you read the trial.
Please don't fool yourselves with televised stories.

ReplyDeleteIt is extremely scary how inefficient our justice system is. Yes go into any jail or prison in this country and you will hear A LOT of inmates saying that they are innocent, and while definitely some are in fact guilty and right where they belong, the scary part is the staggering statistics of legitimately innocent people serving time for crimes they did not commit. I don't know why, but for some reason I watch a lot of true crime tv...pobably cuz there's nothing else left on the channels nowdays if you're not a reality tv fan. The more and more I watch, the more I thank God that I have never been intimately involved in a homicide or suspicious death, meaning that I have never known anyone in my close circle of family and friends who has been a victim of homicide or suspicious death...and I pray I never am involved, not only for the obvious reasons, but because of how poorly I have seen these cases handled. For one thing, it seems that a lot of these cases start out with the cops having formed their own biases from the word go, which means a lot of other would be suspects are never even looked at, especially during the critical time for collecting evidence, directly after the victims death. You see this kind of treatment a lot with the death of a spouse, because unfortunately a lot of the times, it is the signifigant other who is the guilty party, but what about the cases where it wasn't, yet the cops already have a one track mind from the get go. Then the thought of letting 12 strangers, the jury, decide life or death for me?? As ridiculous as some of the jurys' outcomes that I have seen, this is why I thank God that I have never, and pray I will never be directly involved in something like this. I've seen jurys that have all the forensic evidence a prosecutor could ever hope for aqquit and jurys who have absolutely not one shred of evidence convict & on top of that, hand down the death penalty. The justice system is much more of a gamble than most would like to admit. It depends on what kinds of people you end up with on your jury, what their core beliefs, values, and sorry, biases, are because EVERYONE has and is entitled to their own opinions, and though they try to weed out those with extreme biases, no doubt, some make it through...and I dunno about you, but for me, I would not want my life depending so much on the luck of the draw. People don't ever think about these things, because they never think it could happen to them. But it can, and it does. Innocent people, innocent, hard working, GOOD people find themselves accused of crimes they did not commit, are brought to court, where prosecutors dig up all kinds of skeletons in the person's past, and then literally a person's right to continue living, is left up to 12 total strangers. It chills me to the bone to think of how scary that is.
Victoria:
ReplyDeleteI don't believe ANYTHING I said was unintelligible or disrespectful. I even saud IF what was said was true. Not that it was a factual basis. I don't know your sister. When I watched that episode was the first I had heard about it. Googled her name because I couldn't believe that someone could committ a crime like that and not everyone know about it or at least heard of it. I wanted you to know there was such an episode that existed because in fact as I stated it paints your sister as if there was conclusive evidence that she was guilty. For people that know nothing of this case and hear of it this way isn't a good thing for your sister or ANYONE else for that matter. I am not of the ignorance that everything I see on tv is the gospel truth and that is why I googled her name. Plain and simple. I am very aware of how twisted and corrupt the legal system is and in most cases I truly believe as in the Kenneth Waters case, that when there are absolutely no suspects that they will find someone to pin it on even if it isn't the right person at all. They want the community to feel "safe" and believe they are serving and protecting. I truly do wish you the best of luck and I know it is a long uphill battle. But again, Victoria, as you don't want folks making assumptions and being educated maybe you should do the same as you are asking others. Ask questions and clarify before calling someone ignorant and unintelligent. Thank you and again I wish you the best. You AND your sister. I will continue to check on progress. Allie A. Boise, Idaho
Unfortunately, an innocent women sits on death row and is getting "used"
ReplyDeletefor books and movies and stuff, ladder climbs, re elections and everything
else! ( Kerry Lyn has lost her life because of it. )
" We have sabotaged this women society, and the cops, and the system! "
This is not an isolated case, there are many others!
Please help stop this madness because it is out of control!
Hmm...... No Body, No Weapon , No Crime Scene ?
I know you are innocent Kerry Lyn !

I watched the the program last night that had your sister on it and let me tell you it is not favoring on your sisters behalf. Actually it scared me alot and that's why I went looking on the Internet to find out more about the case , I dont find anything , I guess I'm just confused how did they get all the information and grafjc details on what happened to the girl talking about they knew how many times she was hit due to xrays, how did they convict your sister with no proof and anywhere is it published exactly what your sister said happened , or do they have proof someone died ? What about the girls family, does she have any?? You dong have to answer my questions , I was just trying to find out what happened, I know there are crazy people out there but If she is nog guilty its not fair that she be put to death , I guess I'm just really confused anything you have to tell about it greatly appreciated

ReplyDeleteAbove is the link you requested; please have a bit of relief knowing that there are still some who seek TRUTH, not just neatly arrainged facts in a well told story.
Annie Boby
If she is inncoent may God save her and those who put that stummbling block before her be entrapt in their own trap and May God see fit to punish them but IF she is guilty may God see fit to burn her in the firey pit for the details alleged in this murder are truly horrific and evil. Either way I pray that the TRUTH comes out! My condolances to all involved.
