Beach makes waves

Posted on Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 2:47 PM

I recently watched a re-airing of "A Killing at Poplar River" on Dateline NBC about Barry Beach (see "The wrong man?" Oct. 12, 2006). I was curious to know if the people of Montana care at all about the Nees family. If they do, then why are they allowing Kim's real killers to walk free while an innocent man is still sitting in prison? It's corruption at every level. It is unspeakable what is going on in your state. Every citizen of Montana should be rallying—not just to free Barry Beach, but to put the real killers behind bars.

To answer your question, Kathy, some Montanans do care (see http://www.montanansforjustice.com/main.ht… ) but apparently not enough of us realize that a miscarriage of justice for one is a threat to justice for all (to borrow from Dr. King). How about it, Msla Independent, isn't it about time for an update on the living victim of this tragic crime? If you don't do it, no one else in these here parts will.

I have been to montanansforjustice.com many times and first let me say GREAT JOB!!! I also believe that this is a threat to all. It escapes me how this can go on for all of these years. I know nothing of the law and I see it. Everyone who I have shared Barry's story with sees it. We as a people need to stand up, unite and do everything in our power to correct this horrific wrong!!! Thank you for understanding why I wrote what I did. Barry Beach is innocent and we need to help him. Thank you again...Kathy Ulrich

When is Montana going to stop prolonging the truth? It's been 27 years too long! Ms. Kim Nees is just as deserving as Barry for justice!!

A few of the FACTS that are documented and undeniable most of which are found on the www.montanansforjustice.com website.

From the beginning Montana had help railroading Barry. While in Louisiana custody 3 1/2 years AFTER Ms. Nees murder Barry was coerced into signing 3 different confessions for 3 different murders!

Mike McGrath the then Attorney General of Montana own investigation before the Board of Pardon's and Parole hearing, received statements, which state how 4 different people are known to have had the same necklace that belonged to Ms. Nees. Autopsy reported a piece of broken chain was found on her person. These admissions alone should be enough to free Barry!

I didn't hear Mike McGrath's office bring it to the attention of the BOPP members or Barry Beach's attorneys. Aren't they supposed to disclose this information?

To this day there are still 10 UNIDENTIFIED FINGER PRINTS AND ONE BLOODY PALM PRINT! I'd put money on a bet the FBI's database holds the secret to opening those prison gates! This case should never have been closed until every one of those prints had been identified.

Last but not least I didn't find one single document showing where any of the suspected natives gave any of their finger prints, blood or hair samples for comparison. One was known to have clumps of hair missing from her scalp directly after Ms. Nees murder! Fact is the FBI cleared Barry Beach after the murder!

Barry's a political prisoner and it's evident. Mike McGrath is now the Chief Justice of Montana's Supreme Court. Barry's been waiting for 15 months on a decision from the court. How much longer is it going to take for Barry and Ms. Nees to get justice in Montana?

The evidence is clear, the murderers have talked! If Barry can be treated this way in Montana so can the rest of us!

This needs to end NOW!

Talked to barry on the phone today. His quote "It`s finally coming around full circle to touch down on where this journey began" (Returning to Wolf Point after all these years for his new trial). LJR
