Video Tape of Edwin R. Hall Arraignment … Charged with Murder of Kelsey Smith
Fox News: Arraignment of Edwin R. Hall in murder of Kelsey Smith
Interview with Hall neighbor and boy friend of Kelsey Smith
Video, Edwin Hall Arraigned In Smith Murder
Edwin R. Hall Seemed Dazed and Confused during arraignment.
It may not have been so much confused but more the sense of the reality of just what will happen to him.
Kelsey Smith Case – Edwin R. Hall, 26, from Olathe, Kansas was arrested Wednesday for the murder of 18-year-old Kelsey Smith and formally charged with first degree murder and aggravated kidnapping on Thursday. Hall’s arraignment was scheduled for Thursday afternoon and lasted all of 3 minutes.
A reporter for FOX News said that Hall appeared to be confused and had trouble answering simple yes or no questions during the arraignment, which he attended via video phone . Hall also said that he has no attorney, though earlier reports claimed he did, and waived his right to read the charges against him.

Take note Aruba! This is how we do it in America. The way things of this magnitude should be handled. Note the amount of time from crime committed to an arrest. Now stay tuned for penalty phase. But most of all note the most important element of all , There is NO corruption here. Justice will CERTAINLY prevail.
DITTO!
They should afford him the same fate she did. Stick him in Levensworth (sp?) with the most harderned sex criminals. He will become the “donkey” so to speak when they all decide to play “stick the donkey in the tail.”
Perhaps Carol Williams (LA TIMES) will jump to his support. After all this was just another “missing white women” and no one should have cared. She could attack the young women and her family and everything. But hold on someone must write the copy for her and bribe her to put her name on it. I forgot!!!
Soap on a rope,time.IIRC,that is dahmer got his
This animal should be shot..forget about a trial.what a low down filthy pig. I think they should tie him to four posts and let friends and family stone him to death. To STEAL anothers life and expect to get away with it is just plain STUPID. of course he looks confused, he is as STUPID as uine.Like a deer caught in the head lights..WHO ME? Thats the same way URINE will look when he is finally brought in.
I agree with you #6, maybe hanging should be brought back and put it on TV. I am amazed at how this case was solved …with a security camera/cell phone….I think Houston should have a camera on every corner so that every inch of the city is covered.
Cause of death strangulation, allegedly.

Oh god, fox news is so retarded. so retarded.
So now we’ve moved on from grieving for the family and discussing the guilt of the charged man to making fun of disabilities. Niiiice.
Man, how does everyone know so much about a kid named “Jack” that they do not even know. I mean, believe it or not, this kid has not said anything to his own defense. We all believe what is said in the news, but who really knows what is going on in real life right? I am pulling for “Jack” here….. My heart goes out to You.
LET HIM GO-THIS MAKES ME SICK…
Sweetness, did you get your name from “Sweet, troubled soul”? Are you his wife? If so, my prayers are with you and your son.

LET HIM GO-THIS MAKES ME SICK…
……
Lady, I hate to break it to you…
…but you are coming off nuttier than an effin’
Pay-Day candybar!!!
The cops WILL LET HIM GO if he
had nothing to do with it.
no, not his wife, but if I was I would be doing a hell of a lot more than she is now!!!!
Perhaps his wife is more concerned with the innocence of their son at this time. I certainly would be.
Thank God that he has gotten himself his own attorny. At least he has got a fighting chance now!!!!
justice will prevail. If he is guilty, then he will suffer the consequences. He will get his due process.
there isnt any DIRECT EVIDENCE!!!!
How do you know that there isn’t direct evidence? The evidence won’t be presented until Thursday.
Because i KNOW, and truely believe that he did not do this crime. Just because he had a terrible past, does not mean that he is capable of murder.
You know because you know? That’s really not a good answer. Try again. I have this mental pic of the voice of God in Charlton Heston’s “Ten Commandments” movie. “I am who I am . . .” LOL
hope he gets life
Hey, i cna tell by his eyes, they are the windows to the soul you know. Maybe i am unique. Hey, if I am wrong i will still stick by him, and that is what you would call a true friend, something that you must all not know a god dambed thing about. i wont have to worry about that because he is innocent, he just is….. Havent you ever felt so sure about something and been right? Obviosly not, maybe you are not as connected to others as i. to bad for you. You all must not be pretty selfish if you cannot even tell by a face, or their eyes what they are thinking, and that is pretty dense!!!!

SM: How will you feel if he confesses to murdering Kelsey? Will you still stick behind him then? If so, you really do need help (klaasend)
YES, i would stick behind him, and that is what a real friend would do. Would’nt you do the same thing if you were a true friend???
_______________
SM: No – I could never stand behind a murderer (klaasend)
What in the hell does reading someone’s eyes or face have to do with selfishness? True friends know each other – do you know Jack? Oh, that’s right. You know him because you can read into his soul thanks to your psychology schooling. Too bad they don’t teach you spelling in school anymore. I guess they’re more concerned with teaching you how to develop sick obsessions of love fantasies with murderers.
Katy,
you are the one that is crazy, and maybe sick. getting an education has nothing to do with reading into his soul. I just KNOW that I have always been a good judge of charecture. I am done with you, and your juvilnile remarks. Oh yeah, read into some of my other postings, and then you may understand why am defending him so much. It has a lot to do with knowing a person, or two in that were once in the same situation. Almost put to death, but she was innocent, and I knew it all along. No, that does not make me any expert what so ever, and I never claimed to be. I lost my dearest friend. He was murdered, and i knew, and still know who did it, but the cops will not take him down. I even found him with my best friends cloths that he was wearing when he passed. he is guilty, and that I know.
I will agree that eyes are the windows to the soul and as anyone can see by looking into Jacks eyes…he doesn’t have one. Anyone who defends Jack is dancing with the devil.
They should just hang the guy, and yes Aruba needs to take notice.
HELLO,
I NKOW THAT PRETY MUCH EVERYONE HERE THINKS THAT “JACK”IS GULITY, AND THAT HE SHOULD DIE. “JACK”IS MY FRIEND. HE CANNOT SPEAK OUT TO HIS DEFENSE SO I WILL SPEAK OUT FOR HIM. I WILL TELL YOU THAT HE MAINTAINS HIS INNOCENCE. I WILL ALSO TELL YOU THAT A GAG ORDER HAS BEEN PUT ON THIS CASE. THE MEDIA IS LYING TO ALL OF YOU. THERE IS A LOT OF EVIENCE THAT POINTS TO HIM AS THE KILLER, BUT THERE IS A LOT OF EVIDENCE TOO OUT THERE THAT POINTS TO SOMEONE ELSE. I KNOW “JACK”, HE IS INNOCENT. I CAN SAY THAT A FACT OF THIS CASE IS THAT 2 DAYS AFTER HE TURNED HIMSELF FOR QUESTIONING A GIRL WHO WAS WEARING ALMOST THE SAME OUTFIT AS KELSEY WAS THE NIGHT THAT SHE WAH KIDNAPPED WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET CLOSE TO THAT TARGET,AND A MAN TRIED TO KIDNAP HER AT GUNPOINT LUCKILY SHE GOT AWAY WHEN SHE RAN, HOWEVER WE BELIEVE THAT THIS SAME MAN IS THE REAL KILLER. SO, WHILE HE IS WALKING AROUND FREE, “JACK”, AN INNOCENT MAN, IS BEING HELD BEHIND BARS. IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE WHO BELIEVES IN “JACK” PLEASE LEAVE ME A BLOG SO THAT I MAY SPEAK FURTHER WHITH YOU INORDER TO HELP HIM. IF YOU THINK THAT HE DID DO IT, AND PROBABLY HATE ME, THEN PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER LEAVIBG ME ANYTHING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
Sweetness – how come nobody but YOU has heard anything about another young girl ALLEGEDLY almost kidnapped while SUPPOSEDLY walking down the same street as Target? I’ll tell you why. You made that up. And Jack did not turn himself in for questioning. Not only did his own neighbor turn him in, but SEVERAL people called and said to check him out. He was arrested, he did not turn himself in. What, do you really think that nobody but you is following this?
DARBY,
I SPEAK WITH”JACK”, AND DONT YOU THINK THAT HNE KNOWS HIS OWN CARS A LOT BETTER THAN YOU. I MAY BE SOME THINGS, BUT I AM NOT A LIER. YES, HE DID TURN HIMSELF IN. THE NEIHBOR WAS THE ONE THAT TIPPED THE POLICE OFF, AND THEN HE WASZ PUT ON THE NEWS, SO HE TURNED HIMSELF IN. I AM FOLLOWING THIS SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU THAT IT IS NOT EVEN FUNNY. “JACK” DID NOT COMMIT THESE CRIMES, AND ABOUT THE GIRL WALKING DOWN THE STREET. I KNOW ABOUT THIS BECAUSE HIS LAWYER TOLD HIM ,AND HE, JUST A WHILE AGO, PHONED ME, AND TOLD ME TO GET THE WORD OUT. ALL THAT I AM ASKING YOU IS TO WAIT FOR THE FACTS. I WISH THAT YOU COULD ALL HEAR HIS VOICE SPEAK ABOUT HIS INNOCENCE. HE MISSES HIS SON, WHO LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM. i CANNOT MAKE YOU BELIEVE SOMETHING THAT IS NOT TRUE, HOWEVER, I CAN USE MY OWN VOICE IN PLACE OF “JACKS” VOICE BECAUSE HE IS NOT ABLE TO TALK OUT IN HIS OWN DEFENSE. I DONT REALLY CARE IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME, BUT ALL THAT I WANT YOU DO IS BELIEVE IN HIM.

SM: My own personal opinion (and not necessarily that of the owners of this site) is that you should seriously seek professional help (klaasend)
P.S.
I DONT EVEN BELIEVE THAT JAVK PHONED ME RECENTLY, BUT HE DID FROM HIS JAIL CELL. I KNOW THAT IT MAY SOUND NUTS, HOWEVER NOW I HAVE TO FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE, AND TRY MY HARDEST TO GAT OTHERS TO FIGHT FOR HIS INNOCENCE. HE IS BEING RAILROADED BY THE GOVERNMENT. IT IS ELECTION YEAR IN KANSAS, AND THE D.A. THAT IS HARDCORE RUNNING IS TOTALLY FOR THE DEATH PENALTY. DO YOU SEE. THIS IS ALL POLITICS. WHAT YOU ARE HEARING FROM THE MEDIA IS MOSTLY LIES….
Sweetness – seriously – you can say and do whatever, but, please get a grip on reality. There was no other girl, and he did not call you to “get the word out.” It truly does not matter to me what alternative universe you have decided to travel to in your head in regards to this, because Jack is where he belongs and politics have nothing to do with it. Jack misses his son because Jack abducted a young girl and Jack got caught and now Jack will be punished. Evidence is evidence and I hope you follow that part of this as well, not some weird feeling or phantom phone calls that you claim to receive. I’m actually signing off now, and will go and do something more productive with my time.
PS The media has shown only dignity and class throughout this whole ordeal. They stopped talking about Jack at around the same time poor Kelsey was given a proper burial (not the one your Jack had intended for her) so there is no reason to blame the media. They have reported fairly. Facts are facts. Wait until the DNA is processed. You already have the guy and the truck (wow, I love how Jack explained that very interesting coincidence to you…now ask him to explain where he was between the hours of 7 and 9:30 that Saturday night…his lack of an explanation is what clicked this into place, by the way) BUT, the clinker will be the DNA evidence. Your boy Jack is not very smart.
I have asked him that, and he does seem to know a very good explanation. As i said before. I am so done with all of you twisted people on the internet. It may be doing more harm than good. As Jack says, this will all come out in the wash!!!!
Hey, twisted is as twisted does. You were the one who got on the internet. Peace out!
I stand corrected in my previous comments. Edwin Hall is a murderer, rapist, kidnapper, and sick individual. He should (and most likely will) receive the death penalty in the murder of Kelsey Smith. He belongs in the class of other worthless humans that have walked our Earth but will burn in the fires of hell after the short time here on our planet. Eternity is a LOOOOONG time Edwin. Enjoy!

SM: Just to clarify, this is not the same “sweetness”. (klaasend)
Edwin committed this horrific crime to a helpless girl. God was watching him and will act appropriately when it’s his time to stand before Him. The difference between he and Kelsey was that Kelsey was welcomed into heaven as Edwin will be turned away. Edwin, rot in hell you worthless piece of *.
Edwin was not very popular growing up, and this was the kind of girl he could NEVER get in H.S. His personality (or lack thereof) and looks (and we’ve all seen his picture and he’s NOT very, um, easy on the eyes), prevented him from having a girl like Kelsey. Now, he gets to take on the ‘female’ role in prison by a man named Brutus!
To everyone here, I want to apologize from the bottom of my heart for my original feelings about Edwin. My personal relationship with him blinded me from the truth of the matter – that he is a murderer. I was wrong, you were right. Please accept my dearest sympathies.
So Sweetness, do you believe that “Jack” committed this murder?
My heart is just broken for all those involved in this horrific crime. I can’t help but feel sorry for the accused and his family as well. So many lives torn apart…the responsibility for this does not lie soley on the accused if he indeed is proven guilty. I am interested to hear his testimony. Many were involved in the upbringing of this young man. Yes, we are all responsible for our actions. We make a choice, but in my opinion, the accused did not become a monster all by himself. I continue to pray for Kelsey’s family-I grieve with them. I also grieve for the product of a corrupt society. A human with the guilt of cold blooded murder on his hands-a wife in hiding with their precious little boy. My heart goes out to all involved. -prayerful
Sweetness, what happened to change your mind? really, I’m not being mean but you really changed your mind and I would like to know why? thanks
______________
SM: It’s not the same person. It’s not the original Sweetness that was proclaiming his innocense (klaasend)
Ya know, it’s just wrong to steal another bloggers name, no matter if you disagree with them or not; it’s just not right. Leave the poor girl/woman alone.
I had a very good feeling that it wasn’t Sweetness saying those things. There is no way that anybody could change her mind (we’ve all tried and sometimes the blind choose not to see) but I would agree with the person who said that it’s wrong to steal another blogger’s name. In this case, hopefully the web manager can figure out who is doing that and keep them off. I don’t mind a debate with a blogger, but, it needs to be an honest debate.
Darby, as any sane person can tell, Sweetness is missing a step but nonetheless deserves her say and to not have her name stolen. Peace
alright, those last ones were bullshit(whoever posted them). I do still beleive in Jack. so, please stop using my name with those lies. Darby, we have went back, and forth a lot, you are correct, that IS NOT ME!!!
the web manager will, indeed, hear abou this-stealing my name, now that is weirder than most woulnt you say? Thank you Bettietheboop for getting to the bottom of that. I dony hate much, but if i did that person who used my name would be at the top of my list. Also, i wasnt going to post anything on this again. i just wanted to browse, and then found out that some DID steal my name, and had to speak up for myself. Now that you still know where i stand, i will leave you people alone now to dogg me.
Right On Bettietheboop-peace OUT….
Sweetness – no worries – anybody could tell in a second that it wasn’t you. Unless Sweetness Jr. up there is one of your many personalities…? At any rate, I stumbled onto this site as I was searching for information about the real victim here (though I do sympathize with you almost as much for being a victim of stolen identity…sigh…)BUT, in all seriousness, I have seen your comments on other sites and while I feel that you are as nuts as your friend Jack, you do deserve to post honestly.
darby,
i acn see that you have a good heart, and that you actaully yook the time to care about what isay. i too am disgusted withthat indivdual who had stolen my name….therefor i guess that icannot trust anyone. i wnated to thank you, although we have some different opinions, for sticking up for me with that!!!
Sweetnes, I must say, you are nutiieer than a shit house rat however, you do deserve for your voice to be heard; however, so does Kelesy! Peace out! good bye!
Look at this guys picture!! He looks like a killer, the most chilling face I’ve ever seen. My fiance and I and a couple of her friends could barely look at him without chills going down our spines. I’d say that man’s possessed and he should die.
