The Republicans (Huckabee in particular) will get their serving of justice: A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE (HOW GOV. CLINTON DENIED AN INNOCENT MAN HIS FREEDOM) New York Post by Steve Dunleavy The bombshell Whitewater convictions that my be President Clinton's darkest hour gave a middle-aged Arkansas housewife her brightest moment. "Now that the Clinton people are going to jail, maybe my husband will finally go free," Mary Lou Dumond told me in Little Rock. Her husband, Wayne Dumond, 49, has just spent his 11th year in an Arkansas jail. Many say that Dumond is the victim of one of the most bone-crunching and infuriating examples of Clinton-clan justice the country has ever seen. And now, because Clinton's alleged bagman, Gov. Jimmy Guy Tucker, is going to jail, Dumond is set to see freedom. "The new governor, Mike Huckabee, has assured me Wayne will be a free man," Mrs. Dumond said Thursday. "He is not one of the Clinton crowd. He is a very fair man. He has always been disturbed about the way the Clinton people never wanted my husband free," she added. And there was a very good reason for the Clinton people not wanting her husband to go free. THE CHARGES The story of Wayne Dumond is not for the innocent eyes of the young - but every adult of voting age should read closely. These are the cold facts as an Arkansas court saw it: - A 17-year-old girl says she was kidnapped and raped on Sept. 11, 1984, in Forrest City, Ark. - Dumond, father of six, Vietnam veteran, churchgoer, was convicted in August 1985 of the rape. - He was sentenced to life PLUS 20 years. - An appeal by Dumond, under Gov. Clinton, got a response of: "No merit." What the public did not see, while Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas, were the following very unpretty facts - which Clinton, despite countless personal appeals, ignored: - A genetic expert stated unequivocally that sperm found on the girl's jeans COULD NOT "IN A MILLION YEARS" belong to Dumond. - The victim identified two other men as her rapist but they had ironclad alibis and were set free. - She failed to pick out Dumond as her rapist when presented with a lineup. But now the clincher: - The father of the girl is a millionaire and one of Clinton's biggest contributors. But guess what? The girl is Bill Clinton's cousin. And her mother worked as part of Clinton's inner circle when he was governor. The worst was yet to come. THE HORROR On March 7, 1985, while Dumond was awaiting trial, two masked men with guns and knives burst into his house. They hog-tied him. They raped him. And then, with surgical scalpels, they castrated him. [Now get this] The two monsters ACTED ON ORDERS OF LOCAL SHERIFF COOLIDGE CONLEE! The sheriff retrieved Dumond's testicles from Dumond's blood- spattered house. The sheriff then placed the body parts in a jar that he displayed on his desk with the admonition: "That's what happens to people who fool around in my county." The sheriff actually took that jar to "a good-ol'-boys wedding." That is a fact. No reaction whatsoever from Gov. Clinton. [Now hold on to your seat for this] The sheriff - who didn't tolerate any "fooling around" in his county - would later be nabbed by the FBI for extortion and drug-dealing and sentenced to 160 years in jail, where he died of natural causes. Dumond's attackers were never picked up even though ONE OF THEM CONFESSED TO A STATE COP! All this and Dumond still rotted away in prison. And Clinton, both as governor and president, ignored facts that surrounded the case of the rape of his cousin. "Bitter? Hell yes, I was, at first," Dumond told me from prison at Varner in Arkansas. But now, I think, I hope, things will change around. With Jimmy Guy Tucker gone as governor, one of Clinton's men, and Mr. Clinton running for cover, maybe the new man will have another look. "But strange as it may seem, it hasn't been all that bad these days. I have gotten a very good education in here. I think I am becoming a computer nut [wait until he discovers this BB]. I just miss my family, so much. "That girl? Well it's pretty ridiculous. Sad, but ridiculous. "She told the police that a man in a new red pickup truck, with no tailgate, drove to her house, burst in, forced her into her car, drove in her car to some woods, tied her up, committed a pretty terrible act, drove her back in her car and took off in her car and dumped it nearby. "Well, I drove a very old dirty brown pickup with a tailgate. Now, if I took her car, what happened to the pickup I drove to her house in? "She changed her story, how many times? I mean many times. [Well we know one thing, she sure had to be related to Clinton - changing one's story must run in the family.] "She was with this guy driving through town and suddenly, out of nowhere, months after, she saw me driving my old pickup truck. She told the guy out of nowhere: 'That's the man that did it.' She said I had raped her. "When it came to the lineup, she couldn't identify me. Suddenly she disappears into a room with her father and a cop who showed here a picture of me. She came out and immediately identified me."
(continued) THE CONVICTION The outrageous identifying scam was exposed by a local cop who witnessed it all. Deputy Sheriff Henry Leary had the guts to go against his own and told the world of the scenario. Dumond was still convicted. "Oh yeah," Dumond told me, "she identified two other guys who were the rapists. They had an ironclad alibi. Then it came to me." Dumond was still convicted. Gov. Clinton remained silent. But of course at that time nobody knew that the girl was Clinton's cousin. The governor didn't mention it. After 4.5 years, with his freedom gone, his manhood gone, a five-person parole board recommended that Dumond go free for time served. John R. Steer, managing editor of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, records the following reaction from then-Gov. Clinton: "Clinton had a romping, stomping fit. The victim was a distant cousin and St. Francis County [where this all took place] had a lot of votes and he deeply resented the pressure to free Dumond." Clinton refused to sign a release. And Dumond rotted. Dumond has since been before the parole board twice. "They ask me: 'Do you have any remorse?' Well, I tell them straight. How can I have remorse for something I didn't do? "No sir, I will stay here until I die before I say I am sorry for something I haven't done." The day of the castration is not something that should be dealt with in detail [in a family newspaper]. "My two boys, Michael and Joey, found me there after coming home from school. They cut me loose and got help." he said. "Sure I remember it, but do you really want to know the details?" Dumond's life was miraculously saved after he lost three-quarters of his blood. As he lay near death, Sheriff Coolidge Conlee displayed Dumond's testicles in a jar. Still no reaction from Gov. Clinton. THE HOPE The Dumonds later won a lawsuit "of outrage." They cleared just $20,000 from the settlement. This money came in handy however, because someone burned down the Dumond house when the couple were in hiding from vigilantes. No insurance was paid on the home. Can this story get worse? "Sometimes," said Mrs. Dumond, "I just want to give up. But now, who knows? The new governor has personally assured me that Wayne's case will be the first thing on his desk, after he clears up everything from this Whitewater thing." Dwayne Harris, a spokesman for Huckabee, the Republican lieutenant governor who will succeed Democrat Tucker, told me Friday that Huckabee "has voiced a very special intention to thoroughly review the case of Wayne Dumond." "I hope so," Dr. Moses Schanfield told me Friday. "This case was a disgrace." Schanfield heads the Analytic Genetic Testing Center in Denver. He was one of the experts dispatched to Bosnia to examine and identify graves after the civil war there. He did an independent Allotyping test of sperm of the alleged victim's jeans, which supposedly came from Dumond. "No way, zip, nada. Didn't happen. No way Dumond was the donor of that sperm," Schanfield said. "The girl's scenario of the so-called crime couldn't have happened. I didn't believe anything she said." WHY IT HAPPENED Fred Odam, a retired Arkansas State Police captain told me "This was and still is a very bad day for justice." Odam witnessed Sheriff Conlee retrieving Dumond's testicles and later investigated the sheriff for the FBI. "I have been working to get that boy Dumond free for a long time. In all my time this is the one case when I know a man is not guilty." What was the crazed motive behind this disgusting affair? Why Dumond? Gene Wirges, a fiesty 67-year-old publisher of a local weekly who is writing a book on this mess, told me: "Well, a Clinton kin had to be revenged. The sheriff was on a hot seat and young Wayne had been talking to a church group about how cars were suddenly disappearing. "It turned out to be true. The sheriff along with his drugs, and turning the sheriff's department into a casino was heading up a car-theft ring. "When this girl said she was raped, the sheriff wanted to help out the Clinton clan [so that they might look the other way with respect to his illegal doings]. He would do anything for the girl's father and mother. "The truth, the terrible truth is, that one of the guys she first identified as the rapist but who had an ironclad alibi had been going out with the girl. "But the new governor has indicated to me on several occasions that he was more than disturbed about Wayne's case and the way Clinton and his boys handled this terrible thing. "You know, this is Arkansas. Right up until now this has been Clinton territory. Maybe not anymore."
Ken Cook's commentary: I don't normally say this but please distribute this article widely - in a non-profit manner, of course. Give credit to Steve Dunleavy and the New York Post. I first learned of this disgusting case in a book by Guy Reel. The title is "UNEQUAL JUSTICE" and it is put out by Prometheus Books (1993) Wirges. The Guy Reel book is explosive and deserved much more attention than it actually received. Imagine being fingered in a rape you did not commit because you were concerned about cars being stolen in your community. The sheriff was running a car-theft ring and because you threatened to expose it, you get framed for rape and get castrated by a couple of goons. Then the crooked sheriff - who would later be convicted of racketeering, drug dealing and extortion - displays your testicles in a jar on his desk. You then get sentenced to life PLUS 20 years for a crime you didn't commit while your wife is left to raise your two young sons without you. Then the corrupt governor who goes on to be president refuses to let you go, even though experts say it was impossible for you to have committed the rape, because he is afraid of the political implications. This case ought to outrage every American. We need to stop this nonsense now. We've been hearing about these strange "Arkancides" and other bizzarre cases that went on in Clinton's Arkansas for too long now. Enough is enough. We need to put this crooked bunch of thugs behind bars where they belong. Jim Guy Tucker and the McDougals are not enough. We need to bring down the entire house of cards. Let's hope future Gov. Mike Huckabee gets the support he will need to clean this state up. The citizens of Arkansas, regardless of political affiliation, need to get behind him on this. In closing, I would like to commend Steve Dunleavy of The New York Post for having the courage to take this story on. Ken Cook Sunday, June 2, 1996
