March 2, 1994 – Jason Baldwin sits with one of his attorneys, George Robin Wadley Jr., after graphic testimony by a former inmate, Michael Carson, linking Baldwin to the West Memphis child murders. During Carson’s testimony, Baldwin sat still and wore the same look of disappointment he’s had throughout the trial. It appeared that Carson and Baldwin never made eye contact. Defense attorney Paul N. Ford asked Carson with an air of incredulity whether it was his testimony that Baldwin confessed “in the second conversation you all had ever had.” Carson, who had first approached the prosecution in February, stuck to his story. Prosecutors and defense attorneys were aware of an adolescent worker who said he feared Carson was just repeating rumors and stories the worker had told Carson in December. Defense attorneys were not allowed to probe the contents of the conversation Carson had with the worker. (Lisa Waddell / The Commercial Appeal)
