http://www.theforgivenessfoundation...5TP1HEPIDeAk0mLRRR0FZQU73EL0GLHkH-j9ib1BmgdWEThe attorney for Blaine Milam has filed appeals with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in an attempt to halt Blaine's upcoming execution. One of the appeals focuses on bite mark evidence which was used to help convicted Blaine. The appeal is arguing that bite mark evidence has been discredited, calling it "junk science." Blaine's lawyer is also appealing his conviction under the law of parties. Additionally, his lawyer is arguing that Blaine had a psychotic illness at the time of the murder.
Additionally, the filing argued, since a doctor concluded that Milam, now 29, functions at an emotional level between an 8- and 16-year-old, he should be treated as a juvenile, in which case he cannot be sentenced to death.
So which is it. One of the appeals focuses on bite mark evidence which was used to help convicted Blaine. The appeal is arguing that bite mark evidence has been discredited, calling it "junk science." Blaine's lawyer is also appealing his conviction under the law of parties. Additionally, his lawyer is arguing that Blaine had a psychotic illness at the time of the murder.
Milam was high on methamphetamine. Under the Texas Penal Code, "voluntary intoxication" can be used as a defense in certain crimes if the defendant can prove they were incapable of forming an "intent to commit a crime."
I can say that I know for a fact Jesse was in the trailer when it happened, but did not participate in what Blaine was doing to Amora. The door was closed where he was at on the other side of the house. The room Jesse was in had a window unit in it that was on, somshe never heard anything. Thats why in the video of them at the pawn shop, she doesn't appear upset. She didn't know at that point what he had done to Amora or that she was already dead. The door was always kept closed, Blaine would not let Jesse in. There is A LOT to this story that is not in the news. She thought he was praying or performing an exorcism.....not brutally beating her child. You will not find ANY court report or statement anywhere that Jesse participated in what Blaine did. She was charged because she was in the house and there was no way to prove she didn't know what he was doing. I believe had Jesse not been so young, trusting and naive.. I KNOW she would have snapped to prevent anything from happening. I may have shared too much, I know a lot about this story....but I truly believe Blaine is solely responsible for this crime and it is sick how he has not shown any remorse. Only sought fame.
Honestly, I'd be willing to accept that she didn't participate. I'm prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt there. But I won't accept that she didn't know that something terrible was happening in that room. I know how big 'trailers' are, I know what Window mounted air conditioners sound like. I also know what a screaming child sounds like.
Can you even imagine how that child must have screamed?
If this 'trailer' was a 1/4 of a mile long and her A/C sounded like a Boeing I might believe you.
I imagine that this girl is a weak, ignorant, submissive, possibly abused, pathetic excuse for a woman. There may even be sympathetic reasons for why that is the case. Perhaps she was abused as a child, had low self esteem, suffered childhood indoctrination in fundamentalist religion. Whatever the case may be, I'm certain that a combination of these factors played into this outcome.
But none of those mitigating factors lessens the severity of the consequences here. In this case, the consequences of her actions along with the fact that she is, regardless of her circumstances - an adult with free will, were so horrific that she deserves everything she has coming to her. Anything less would be an insult to the memory of this child.
In short, it seems as if you want to believe in a story that doesn't make a whole lot of sense because somehow, you feel some measure of sympathy for this woman. I don't. And I don't think that what you stated is logical. If you have any information that proves you right, let me know.
Unless you think that kid didn't actually scream loud enough to be heard over a fucking air conditioner.
I believe one of the 1st injuries Amora sustained was a blow to the head with a pipe wrench from Blaine. (A pipe wrench he hid and later asked his sister to go get from where he hid it during the investigation) I don't know that Amora was awake to scream. I know Jesse suffered from psychotic break...."psychotic depression" is what the diagnosis was. She had stopped caring for herself months before, gained weight, stopped bathing.
At one point Blaine came running in the room Jesse was in and he was freaking out, totally frantic screaming "Where did it go?" And Jess sat up on the bed and asked him what he was talking about. He said the demon possessing Amora had made her run across the trailer. Amora didn't walk though, she had never taken her first step. He then proceeded to get under the bed like he was going after this demon baby and madd the bed Jesse was on start jumping up and down like he was wrestling this thing under the bed. He jumped up asked "Did you see it, which what did it go?" And he took of running back across the house. Jesse said she was frozen in fear. She didn't know what to do. What she didnt know was that Amora was already dead when he did that.
She actually isn't weak at all. Not when she is stable and herself. She's very bright, very smart, she's funny and very nurturing. Her father committed suicide when she was younger. He was found by her, her mother and brother. She was never a victim of any abuse. I do know some things about that that I wont share....but Jesse did not have the support she needed after having a baby and I believe she was in need of help for post partum but due to the lack of family support she had, it went unnoticed. I mean....all she had was Blaine's ignorant family.
Which BTW Blaines dads brother was also a child abuser and child molester of his own daughters. It must run in the family. Several children were removed from that home too because of severe abuse. One was a baby that had to have surgery from being kicked in the groin!

This is the kind of crap that pisses me off that Blaine and his family do! You don't see anything like this from Jesse or her family. He has no regard for Amoras grieving REAL biological family whatsoever.
Well... Jesus Christ... What a cluster fuck.
I'm fully prepared to accept that Blaine and his entire family are, in all probability, irredeemable pieces of shit who should have their entire blood line erased from the planet. If it really went down the way you are saying then I also feel some amount of sympathy for Jess. From what you say - You have to admit, from what you say it does sound like she was in a weak state of mind at time. I can empathize with that, I know what it is to be crippled by my own thoughts. I've lived though depression that saw me locked in a hospital more than once. I still have a hard time accepting that as a defense. Depression, post par-tum or otherwise doesn't absolve you of responsibility for the consequences of your actions... But you say she had no idea that the child was dead. Well.. maybe that's possible, I suppose? I don't think it to be the most likely scenario but I guess it could happen. Even if that were the case, it's much harder to believe that she had absolutely no idea at all that harm was coming to that child. She still had obligations to that baby that she failed to fulfill.
I'd really just like to address the elephant in the room. How is it that you know these things? That's really a pretty big question when it comes to assessing whether what you are saying holds water. This whole thing is horrible. I hope Blaine dies soon.
Until the last few sentences, I thought this was an announcement for pro-execution groups.

She was just as involved. She looked the other way as he beat her, molested her, and on the final day she was there as he bit her, beat her, and raped her with a pipe wrench. She knew what he did to her thirteen month old baby, over and over again till she died. And then the whore chose to take the fifth cause the whole testifying aspect was too difficult for her.
Fuck Blaine, fuck Jesse, fuck anyone who defends either of them. The only victim in this case is Amora, and her biological father who was in the military and didn’t even get a chance to meet her before she was cruelly murdered.

Hick white trash mom took him out of school in 4th grade, supposedly was "home-schooled".
What did you look in your crystal ball and see all of that Nell?
Agreed on who the victim is. I NEVER said Jesse was a victim. I only brought factual clarity to what her part was in the day of BLAINE murdering Amora. And to shed light on Blaines bs fight and appeals for his stay.
And thank you Arlen for your service for our country....but truth be told, he wanted no part in Jesse's pregnancy or Amoras life. Jesse was asked to leave from Arlens family home while she was pregnant by his parents. She went through her pregnancy and delivery ALONE. How honorable of Arlen to care AFTER the baby he didn't want was murdered by a pos that stepped into a void HE left WIDE OPEN for anyone to victimize his daughter. What a soldier!
Someone serving in the military doesn't make them a good father let alone any kind of a hero.
Do not blame him for the murdering piece of shit your daughter brought into her babies life. That's All on her. Did she ever stop to think that you don't have to have someone? That she could've concentrated on being a good mom? Nope. She went right out and found her Dick of the month and this one just happened to really like little ones and then decided that she had demons in her for tempting him and murdered her. Again, no one is going to give you any sympathy here.
My daughter? I can see the caliber of intellect I'm engaged with here. You're confused.
Whatever. Family member then. Someone else had said you were her mother. And if you didn't tell anyone, how exactly does that calibrate our intelligence? Do tell.
I've already addressed this.

His dad, Daniel Milam, took him out of school because of his beliefs that involved white supremacy.
Blaines dad's 1st cousin, George and his son Rusty have also been guilty of child crimes similar to Blaines. George molested his own daughter and physically abused his 3 grandsons. One of which was an infant in diapers, that had to have surgery from being kicked in the groin.
You've already addressed our intelligence????
I know her biological father. What you just wrote about him is not true, and deeply messed up.
You knew Jessie after she had been incarcerated and you fell for her side of the story because you like her. Whatever, don’t care. She didn’t need a new man, she didn’t need Blaine and his brand of fucktardedness in her life, she wanted it there. To the detriment of her child. Nothing you or she can say will change my mind about her culpability. Sorry, not sorry.

She means she knows Jessie from jail. She served time with her. She doesn’t know anything about it except for what Jesse told her ass to get sympathy.
Hmm Jessica had the AC on in December? Dunno about that. I don’t know if we’ll ever fully understand what their mindset was when Amora died, like how much of it was intentional vs. psychosis. I’m not really sure what to think. If only those trailer walls could talk, right?
How does she feel about Blaine’s upcoming execution? That must be weird, someone you knew and were with for a year is scheduled to die...I struggle with it myself. Especially after knowing her. We were very close. It's hard to imagine she would go along with what he was doing. I've read her appeal. It's pretty much the same story she told me. She TRULY believed there was a demon. I remember us talking about it. She knows now there wasn't, not in Amora anyway. I wish she would tell her story.
