The feedback I receive from those who watched the proceedings continues to confirm the deep unease many of us feel about the outcome of this trial. I am currently reviewing the trial transcripts again to better understand how the evidence was interpreted during those key moments. Your willingness to engage with these difficult questions keeps the focus on the integrity of the judicial process.

Read about this case a decade ago and thought about it again recently. I discovered this case because of the defendant’s name, but I do truly believe that this case has errors, and should be reexamined.

I saw the trial, it seemed that th e investigation did not considered any body else and there were not enough evidence of his guilt

I went to high school with Josh and attended the military ball with him...he was always a sweet person . I could never believe he would hurt a kid or anyone..This is a case simply wrong place wrong time.. we were always taught by our Sargent to run with our gloves on during running or training . I hope they find the person who really did this horrible crime. Stay strong josh.

He was my friend, my church pastor!! I looked up to him. He was wise for his age too. I've been mocked and pushed down my whole middle and high school career for defending josh against those who knew stephen. I'm 21 now and its been nearly 6 years and I still stand behind joshua.
