LOS ANGELES – More than six years after his conviction, a man serving a 40-year-to-life prison term for the shooting death of an 18-year-old woman in a Palmdale park-and-ride lot was ordered Thursday to be released from custody in light of new evidence that prosecutors say casts doubt upon his conviction.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge William C. Ryan ordered Raymond Lee Jennings released on his own recognizance, but with electronic monitoring at the prosecution’s request. The 42-year-old Iraq war veteran — who had been behind bars since his December 2005 arrest — was freed shortly before 3 p.m.

The judge’s ruling came at the request of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office’s newly formed Conviction Review Unit, which asked that Jennings be freed while law enforcement completes an investigation into the Feb. 22, 2000, shooting death of Antelope Valley College student Michelle O’Keefe. Jennings was a security guard at the parking lot where the shooting occurred.

“We are prepared to say that the people no longer have confidence in the conviction based upon what we feel is third-party culpability,” Deputy District Attorney Robert Grace told the judge.

The judge ordered Jennings to return to the downtown Los Angeles courthouse Aug. 24 for a status conference.

Jennings was convicted in December 2009 of second-degree murder by the third jury to hear the case against him. The first two juries to hear the case against him deadlocked in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom and the case was eventually returned to Lancaster, where he was found guilty.

The victim’s father, Michael O’Keefe, told reporters after the hearing, “There’s a lot of information that I don’t know about. Just based on what I know, the fact is Mr. Jennings is still guilty until proven otherwise.”

But he acknowledged, “They’ve got something or they wouldn’t be doing what they’re doing … I know the importance of keeping things under wraps.”

He said he hopes that “justice is served and that they look at all of the evidence and I know they are.”

Jennings smiled as he spoke to his lawyer just before the hearing, but he was led back in handcuffs to a courtroom lockup while awaiting his release.

“I think he was just happy to know that after 11 years in prison that his ordeal was coming to an end,” his attorney, Jeffrey Ehrlich, told reporters after the hearing. “Ray Jennings is not a murderer. He was a witness to an awful, senseless, brutal crime, and he was arrested five years later and convicted several years after that on the flimsiest of cases. And I am gratified that the district attorney, Jackie Lacey, set up the Conviction Review Unit.”

But the attorney — who is representing Jennings pro bono — said he was “very disappointed today that the district attorney wasn’t able to just say, ‘We acknowledge that he’s innocent,’ but I’m confident that when we come back to court in 60 days that is what is going to happen.”

The defense attorney said Jennings is “not the focus of the ongoing investigation,” and said the new investigation encompasses looking at the evidence and doing “the things that should have been done right after the murder and certainly before charges were filed against Raymond Jennings.”

“All of the information they are pursuing now was available to them at that time,” Ehrlich said, citing a “cascade of errors that started with an inadequate investigation into the murder.”

“He was not the only person at the murder scene,” the attorney said of his client. “Now they are doing a normal investigation … and it is leading them in the direction that is going to result in the proper charges being filed against the proper people.”

As for the victim’s family, Ehrlich said, “I feel very badly for the O’Keefe family. They’ve been through a tremendous ordeal … Mr. O’Keefe has not been made aware of all of the new evidence.”

Jennings’ trial attorney M. David Houchin — who represented him in each of the three trials — was in court as his former client was ordered to be released.

Houchin said he was “just tickled to death” and that he has long believed that Jennings was innocent of the crime.

Prosecutors did not speak outside court.

In a statement released Wednesday, Lacey said, “My office has been presented with credible new evidence that brings this conviction into question. Attorneys assigned to the newly created Conviction Review Unit have examined the evidence and are working with law enforcement personnel to investigate further. In the interest of justice, I am asking the court to release Raymond Jennings on his own recognizance while this investigation continues.”

O’Keefe was shot four times after she returned to her blue Ford Mustang, which she left at the park-and-ride lot so she could carpool with a friend to a Kid Rock video shoot in Los Angeles, where they worked as paid extras.

Deputy District Attorney Michael Blake told jurors in Jennings’ second trial, “The mistake he made was assuming that she was a prostitute … Her fatal mistake in this interaction was standing up for herself.”

Jennings’ attorney told jurors there was no direct or physical evidence linking his client to the young woman’s killing.

At his sentencing hearing, Jennings turned toward the O’Keefe family and maintained his innocence.

“I sit here as an innocent man. And I’ve heard you speak on God, and as Christ as my Lord and savior, I will stand before God and this is one sin that I will not be judged for,” he said then.

In a December 2011 ruling, a three-justice panel from California’s 2nd District Court of Appeal rejected the defense’s contention that there was insufficient evidence to permit a rational jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that he murdered O’Keefe.

The appellate court justices noted that “unidentified DNA found under her fingernails was not appellant’s” and hair found on her body was not from Jennings, but found that he knew details about O’Keefe’s murder that detectives had not publicly disclosed.

“In sum, although the evidence against appellant was circumstantial supported by his statements to investigators, we find the prosecution presented a case of sufficient strength that a rational jury could conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that appellant murdered Michelle O’Keefe,” the three-justice panel found.

The California Supreme Court refused in March 2012 to review the case against Jennings.

Ehrlich noted he began working on the case after the state appeals had been denied and while a federal petition was pending that “didn’t point out the problems in the case” and would have been denied if he had not asked for a stay in the proceedings to give the defense more time to examine the case.

“I am confident that he would have been ultimately exonerated … but it would have been a contested proceeding and it would have taken years,” Ehrlich said.

      • He had become addicted to prescription drugs after an accident – he overdosed, though not sure if it was accidental or deliberate.

    • He died of a drug overdose in 2014. He was addicted to pain killers from when he had an accident in an elevator years before.

    • Because of his evil parents instead of spending time on help finding real killer, they spending time to blame on an innocent man. So GOD kill their last child to teach them a lesson, but still they don’t learn.

  2. Victim family who just lash out on innocent people deserve no respect from me. You know what GOD TOOK YOUR DAUGHTER TO PUSNISH YOU !!!! THE REST OF YOUR FAMILY WILL BURN IN HELL for accuse an innocent man

  3. The two things that stand out in a glaring manor:

    1) DNA under her fingernails and hair found on her body was not from Jennings
    2) There was no direct or physical evidence linking Jennings to the killing

    Either one of these should have pointed to further investigation rather then try to force through a rush to judgement.

    They should make Parris refund his fee for this deception.

    • Did Parris have any mention of the man with the red baseball cap in his manipulative power point presentation? As is the case in so many other instances with him, he locks into something to the point of misguided perception that becomes his reality. We have seen it with the Monguls, the banning of burying dead terrorists in the name of safety, the waste of $10 million tax dollars on LEAPS, his fatalistic views of the environment, and so on. He was convinced that Jennings was the murderer from day one and set out to nail him, while making a tidy sum of loot for himself along the way.

        • Having Parris as mayor is in and of itself a step down. But yes, he should step down, resign, quit, what’re for this travesty along with a litany of other wrongs he has committed.

          • In fairness, Lancaster has never had a good city government. It has hit new depths with Parris and his crew, but it is a drop off a curb, not a fall off a cliff.

            I say this because I am hoping people in Lancaster will recognize that getting rid of Parris will not miraculously turn things around. There is going to be a lot of hard work to do cleaning up that cesspool.

          • Getting rid of Parris, Crist, etc. would be a step in the right direction. You also need to cut ties with Frank Visco and Jim Gilley. That would be how you clean house.

        • If Parris steps down, we won’t be the city with the craziest mayor anymore. It would be sad to lose that distinction. Right now people recognize us as the city with the crazy mayor.

  4. Get ready to watch a TV chase of the law following an grey Audi heading to Mexico. Rex would be smart to sell his beach house in Laguna and buy one in Rosarito. If the power point don’t fit, you can’t aquit.
    Bye Bye!

    • Rex got lucky when his ex son-in-law stump led onto the Guess Jeans case. They got some jury to award millions. Since then Rex has been chasing Monster drinks, Starwood in Lancaster, two VFW Posts in Lancater, the cities of Santa Clarita, Palmdale, and Highland, school districts in Santa Clarita, and anything and anyone else he can sue.

    • It sure would be fitting if Mr. Jennings could live in a beautiful beach home after the hell hole he was in.

      • He should sue the whack-a-doodle lawyer who made the false power point presentation that was used against him and take his beach house. On second thought, that means that “lawyer” would have to live in his Lancaster mansion. Never mind. Just sue and have him disbarred.

  6. Ay YO…PARRIS . you better pat yo pockets n!? $#@ …..come up out them sneakers too

    • He’s been eerily quiet on this. He may have realized that his gig is up. All the years of bullying, belittling, using, suing, hurting, and harming people may finally have caught up with him. We can all only hope that justice will be done with the conviction of the real killer and the conviction of the one who orchestrated this false campaign against Raymond Jennings.

      • It’s not “one” who orchestrated this campaign, for that matter ALL his evil campaigns. Every one of those people who supported, aligned, ridiculed, and tortured innocent people need to be tried right next to that as#h/÷e.

        • Right on Pat! Remember what he did to Randy Floyd? What about Linda from the Cedar St. Theater. Johnathan Ervin? Bob Wilson? How many others? Time for him to go away.

  7. Finally the truth is coming out. These past 16 years have been hell for many of us. Those of us in our teens or early twenties would here stories. The circle of cahos and deciept swept over the valley like cowboys from hell. I WOULD SEE THAT BILLBOARD AND SHE WOULD TALK TO ME. Michelle i hope they find the one responsible for taking your young beautiful life away. Today I am so happy sunshine is finally shining this beautiful day the lord has made for a man has been set free. Now may justice be served swiftly. I want to know the truth. Whats his name?

    • and also, Finally the truth will come out, and paid security guard Mr. Jennings will tell everyone what he was actually so busy doing in that parking lot the same moment Michelle O’Keefe was being shot multiple times…

      • While we are at it, let’s ask what all those Secret Service agents were doing while President Kennedy was being shot in broad daylight with cameras rolling.

        • Explains everything, Michelle O’Keefe was shot from a tall building a great distance from the park and ride. Also explains why Mr. Jennens didn’t see anything or see any people in that parking lot during or after the murder.

          • Victoria Richardson contacts the police weeks after the murder and volunteers information that she with her 3 friends, talked to Mr. Jennings right after the shooting. Now Mr. Jennings suddenly remembers there were people in the park and ride the night of the shooting. At this time he recants his story..This is why I will never believe Mr. Jennings..

          • I will never believe the Parris created power point and the way he used the media to convict a man who had twice been acquitted. When will Parris give back the money he made off of this? When will he pursue the other lead in this case?

      • Let Jennings and Parris swap residences. Then let Jennings be the auctioneer of Parris’ belongings before Parris donates the next fleet of Hummers to his local thug/ally friends. I do hope DA Lacey ask the cops to take Parris’ bumper stickers out of the Hummers windows, that is a CONflict of interest

    • go to the Michelle Okeefe website or the Richard Jennings site( im not 100% sure which one it was right now) but go look it up and read the stories and you will know who the guy was that did this.

    • Amen ‘HAPPY INDENDENCE DAY’ Ray it’s been a long time coming. The Free and the Brave , a hero in the eyes of many. God Bless this man and Thank you to all those who believed in the truth.

  9. I was so glad to hear of this news. I have never for a second, thought that he did this and I don’t even know the man. it always seemed they were just desperate to find and convict someone. I pray for you Mr. Jennings and I am sorry the last 10 years have been taken from you. May those who knowingly wrongfully convicted this man pay.

    • Right? We all know who did this, and we all know why they covered it up, and we also know who helped cover it up. I really hope all this corruption in the Antelope Valley comes to light soon. Oakland PD has nothing on the corruption going down in the Antelope Valley/Los Angeles Sheriff’s Dept.

  11. “Thank you” to all those people who freed innocent Raymond Jennings from the clutches of those as%=÷×=s who falsely accused him of this horrible crime. Please send them to prison so they can endure the same hell they inflicted on him, his family, and their friend’s.

  12. I was in centinela state prison with Ray he is a great guy and an even greater basketball player.. He always stayed positive and hopefull of his future.. God bless you and your endeavors.. He is not the only one who falls victim to a broken justice system.. The crazy part is you can convicted with little to no( circumstantial) evidence.. And the only way you get found innocent is after they got almost 20 years out of you..

  13. I’ve always known this man was not guilty of this.The parents were after anybody they could hang for this.Instead of thinking mabey there daughter was into some things she shouldn’t be.Rex and his people were looking to make a name for themselves no matter the cost to this poor guy and his family.My grandson was in her class and what right did she have to play the dateline episode to her classes.Jennings has lost everything and I hope he wins a lawsuit for millions.of course it won’t come out of the pocket of Rex,or the parents of the girl,we who always knew he was not guilty will be paying that cost and they will go on with there life.

    • Shame on you Carol for trying to besmirch Michelle’s name!! Shame, shame, shame!! This young lady graduated high school and got her AA degree at the same time!! What she was into was her school and her friends!! You may not think he is guilty and that’s ok, but to suggest that she was into something is really unfair of you!!! You didn’t know her so you can’t judge her!! SHAME ON YOU AND YOUR RESPONSE!! I hope God is listening to you!!

    • Her and her parents are not to blame for this miscarriage of justice only the da and r Rex Hogg are responsible I hope the real killer is brought to justice for ms.okeefe,her parents, and srg. Jennings

  14. I had Michael o’Keefe as a teacher while attaining my bachelors, his entire class had nothing to do with what the class actually was. The entire class was a review of the case against Jennings and how he thought he was guilty, he presented all the evidence that he thought made him guilty, ignoring everything that pointed to his innocence. (Everyone in the class brought up points that could have possibly proved his innocence and Mr. O’Keefe always shot them down or ignored them) I believe this make shift class was done to solidify his belief that he helped convict an innocent man and did it rightfully. He had no intention of teaching what the University thought he was teaching but continued to teach what he wanted to bring himself some sort of closure for the loss of his daughter.

  15. I never believed he did this! He’s had years of hard living in the God forsaken Chino prison. I hope he held on to his beliefs and held his head up all those years. It took three trials to finally convict him?? Shame on you Rex!

    • Let’s hope justice is completed with the real killer being brought to justice and Rex being held accountable for his deceptive, twisted, and corrupt deed.

  16. Oh you AV people watch too many crime shows and think your detectives now, I’ve seen this practice happen a number of times, I wouldn’t doubt it if the guy gets released and is re arrested just as he steps foot out side, or with in a few days of his release. There is more info and they can press new charges on him for a longer sentence. If he was really innocent in the eyes of the Da he would be released without an ankle bracelet, given money for his time in jail and prison, and the Da would be all over the news apologizing too the accused. Lets just sit and wait and see what happens.

    • Tom, so you believe Rex’s power point? Two juries couldn’t come up with a conviction so he moves it to Lancaster and puts on a dog and pony show which a Lancaster jury buys. He’s a personal injury lawyer. He works to whip up emotions and fact? Well, facts are those pesky things he can’t be bothered with.

      There’s a better chance that Rex will be disbarred than Jennings ever going to jail for anything. That’s a good thing, too. For the legal profession, for Lancaster, for the Antelope Valley, for everyone. Except Rex. Not good for Rex. But, really, who cares.

  17. Thank the NRA that most likely the true murderer didn’t have to undergo any kind of background check, registration or training to get the gun he used to kill this poor young woman.

      • Wow the NRA has nothing to do with it. Now here’s your sign. Jane must believe animals walk into the grocery store and commit suicide too. Smh

    • I thank the NRA for their hard work so that law abiding citizens can still own guns today. What makes you think that the true murderer even bought the gun legally?
      Gun laws only create more victims by keeping guns from law abiding citizens. Criminals do not respect or care about laws. Criminals love anti-gun laws, it makes it easier for them to commit their crimes.

      • I agree with John. Law abiding citizens should be able to have guns. If you try to board a plane with a gun in your purse and you say you didn’t know it was there, you have proven that you are irresponsible and should not be able to have a carry and conceal permit no matter how many judges your husband owns.

        • How could she not know the gun was in her purse, it’s like carry a tank, guns are HEAVY. The best part was RPs comment that she should know her place…..ick!

          • Those two should never have been given concealed weapons permit. Further proof it’s not what you know but who you know. He has owned the DA and Baca for years. Maybe now with a new sheriff, we can get some justice up here in the High Desert.

      • It is disgusting how fast people try to use a tragity to push a political point it’s disrespectful to the victim and her family but on the subject maybe if Sgt. Jennings was armed maybe he could have engaged the murderer instead of taking cover and reporting. Maybe we wouldn’t be discussing this miscarriage of justice

    • Maybe the “GunFree Zone” sign wasn’t big enough. That’s it, a bigger sign would do it.

      • The only thing we can do for our neighbors, friends, and family’s who fall victim to evil is to patiently listen and support them. The O’Keiffes have taken a double blow, hence more patience, more understanding and especially more prayers. It’s going to be very difficult for the the O’Kieffes when the real murderer is apprehended and this whole ugly mess of prosecution starts over.

    • Jane your a [removed] but I respect your constitutional right to voice your opinion and in no way want to infringe on it so please save the propaganda that tries to inferno the rights I enjoy

  18. Happy for this man, if, he truly was “railroaded”!! Why did they move the 3rd trial back to Lancaster? Think about it, people! ! NOW, how about re-opening an unsolved homicide case that happened in 1992 !!? It happened in the parking lot at 9th and Palmdale Blvd and Reyes Martinez was the victim who was murdered. I truly believe that enough wasn’t done on the case and our family never did get any closure!! The murderers have been running free ever since the murder has taken place!! Open the case and re-examine the evidence. Did anyone bother to scrape under Reyes’ fingernails? Or, check his body for hair or other DNA? After all, there was a short altercation between Reyes and the murderer! There are three people who know what really happened! ! Two males and a female. The investigation was a farce! LAPD did not care!! Palmdale wasn’t as populated at that time and the murderer had a distinct appearance: dark complexion with blotches of lighter colored skin with some kind of freckling. Shouldn’t have been too hard to find someone like that!! REOPEN THE CASE!!

  19. I am so happy to hear this. Been following since day one on this case too, because I believed he was innocent. This has been long coming for Raymond and may God give him more blessings in the days to come. Rex Parris is a dirty scandalous politician just as greedy as the rest of them who is in it for himself and nobody else. He purposely convicted a married man, with five children, who was a active person serving our country and fighting for our and HIS freedom!! He will never get back his marriage, the time missed out with his children, and will always be doubted when it comes to his service to our country because of Rex’s selfish greed to win an election and give this valley an answer even the wrong answer to this horrific crime. I feel he should be generously compensated for the wrong doings against him. He should be awarded all his veteran rights because he deserves them. And to top the cake bring a civil case against Mr. High and mighty Rex Parris!! That man knows what he did and should come out the pocket for it!!

  20. I have followed this story from day one, even watching a show they aired on him and on that night that they aired that show, my mom, siblings, and kids just happened to be in the home with us. We were glued to that show and on that night, I was convicted beyond a reasonable doubt that he was not guilty of this crime. I would always tell my kids to pray for this man, a man I have never met in my entire life. How horrible what they did to this man. I feel horrible for the mother; however, she was determined to see someone go down for her daughter’s murder, even if it was not the right man. My son Blake was in her class and he said all she did was talk about that case – so unfair to kids who should have been getting an education. This is a victorious day for this man, and his family. I texted my daughter, my son, and my son who is serving his tour in the Army to tell them of this news. This is a victorious day for a man who should never have spent even one day in jail. I feel horrible for Michelle’s mom, Michelle’s dad, and Michelle’s brother (Who I believed passed away) but I also feel so bad for this man who spent wasted days in jail. This is one man who I hope will sue for all the pain he has had to endure. The evidence was always there that he did not do it. Raymond Lee Jennings – if you read this…I want you to know that even though I have never met you, I always knew you were innocent and I have prayed for your freedom. Not too long ago, I went to your FB support page and again prayed for you. I would always read it for updates – this story has always affected me because I just knew you were an innocent man convicted of a crime you did not do. Shame on all of those who wrongfully convicted you just that they could have peace in their own life.

    • Ive been saying the same thing since day one. I saw this behavior cooking up in the Kellogg family since middle school at Piute. Brian was a definite bully, and has remained his bully status; ask anyone that knew or knows him. By the end of High School, our friendship disintegrated as his actions became an actual physical danger to society. Jenn got lost in her search for Male attention, and didn’t seem to learn independence from one. Its sad that some people just miss the moment, or choose to pass on the moment of productive citizenship. And Mister METH does not help one bit. Unfortunate for their mother, I pray that she stays wise.

      • From my recollection, the only one that was kind of normal was Holly Kellogg. But that’s probably because that’s my recollection from Park View and Lancaster High. I worked with Jennifer and Brian at McDonald’s on Ave L in 2000. Jennifer was a shift leader and would go to work higher than a kite on Meth.

    • too bad she got mixed up in with those dope dealers jay and brian. i belive jay isgone also, as he was having guilt feelings and was going to tell the real story.

      • Are you talking about Jason McCoy he was shot about a month after this crime I wonder if that is related

        • Definite related, okeefe bought from jay….jay’s stuff was controlled by brian. if someone didnt pay jay, then brian would make definitely sure that issue was handled. brian eventually came to a conclusion that jay would be a threat to his freedom.

          • You know them just as well. You and I probably know each other too…
            Jay McCoy worked for Brian Kellogg’s METH Regime. And just a week after Michelle’s death, Jay was shot. Where is the GUN???? Same Gun????

          • I heard from someone that Jason McCoy told a close friend that he was with Brian Kellogg when he shot her. Jason knew he was gonna die and he wanted to get it off his chest before he died. I’ve also heard from a couple of people that Brian showed up at a house one day and had someone tied up in the trunk of his car that he said was a snitch. They didn’t know what happened after he left.

          • Would be nice if you all knew what you were talking about. Jay McCoys death had nothing to do with this case!! Jay may have been caught up in something he never wanted to be regarding this case, I myself can’t say for sure. I do know something weighed heavy on his heart before he was shot, I could see it in his face. But I can say for sure that his death had nothing to do with this case and the bullet he caught wasn’t meant for him. Jay was a good person, so don’t speculate facts and drag someone through the mud when you have no clue.

    • Rex Parris believed that he did it but he was STEVEN JACKSON ‘s Attorney during Julie Church ‘s Murder and got him off FREE!!NICE JOB REX PARRIS!!

      • The Julie Church Murder. Who were these Witness friends of Steven Jackson that saw Julie Church walking around downtown L. A. long after she was buried in Steven Jackson’s front yard? Did Rex Parris produce these eye Witnesses ?

    • Bottom feeders, especially fish, are a positive, productive part of the functioning ecological system.

      Parris is neither positive, productive, nor functioning. At least not functioning properly.

  24. This from the website http://justiceforray.webs.com/

    Prosecution of Jennings: In 2005, the parents of Michelle O’Keefe with the assistance of their attorney, R. Rex Parris and his associate, private investigator Jim Jeffra, assembled a collage of sound-bites compiled in a PowerPoint presentation. This mosaic of sound-bites included several false, implausible or contradictory statements by Jennings taken from the many, many hours of police interviews with him and the taped deposition he gave in the civil case. They presented the PowerPoint presentation to D.A. Foltz who, lacking any other evidence, agreed to file charges against Jennings. In fact, at the time, Foltz told a reporter: “I can’t put my finger on precisely what the difference is, but it was clear we had a file-able case.”

    Will Jennings sue Parris for intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment etc?

    • Just skimmed the article in the AV Press. Unsubstantiated from that is “a witness recanted.” Better than hoping for Wrecks to get sued, we can hope that recanting witness implicates him in suborning their perjury and gets him disbarred.

    • I hope that Ray Jennings will sue Rex Parris for intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment etc?

  25. I never believed he did it. Hope they find the real killer cause they still out there.
    Sorry for the family I’m sure she was amazing young women but the fact is this guy didnt do it
    he was railroaded to close a case. RIP Michelle your real killer will be caught no dought in my mind.

  27. I wonder who his family knows or how he got off so easy he Killed a Woman how can he be set free weather he thought she was or not a prostitute he don’t have the right to kill her Her mistake talk back to him and stand her fround when she encountered the rent cop.

    • You sound like you KNOW what happened. So, you were there? Maybe the new evidence points to you?

      Apparently the PROSECUTOR thinks that he didn’t kill her. Two juries didn’t believe that he killed her, before they brought the trial to Lancaster, where the jury was undoubtedly full of “cops are always right so he must be guilty” sycophants like you. It will be interesting to see where this new evidence leads. Maybe some justice will finally be done in this case.

      • Rex slapped together one of his infamous Power Point presentations for the civil trial. Looks like it may not have been truthful. Imagine that—-something he said or produced that wasn’t truthful.

    • Ridiculous. You clearly can’t spell and it’s obvious you did not read the article. I hope that God smites you with his wrath and you are proven guilty even though you are innocent. Only to be executed by lethal injection, where you will then burn in hell for eternity, where you belong. Amen.

      • Oh my goodness! “Christians” who say things like this give all true belivers a bad name.
        How on earth does not being able to spell and not (in your opinion) reading an article and then posting a comment justify your reaction, or your pronouncement of what God’s judgement should be?
        Thank the Lord, Jesus is our judge and not people!
