The Katy man accused of killing a Burleson County father and son faces another charge.

Myron Douglas Phillips, 35, has been charged with aggravated kidnapping for holding up David and DJ Weichert before fatally shooting the two.

This latest charge is in addition to two capital murder charges.

Phillips's bond is now set at three-million dollars.

Phillips also has charges pending for Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child from an incident that allegedly happened in 2006 in Harris County.

He was out on bond at the time of the shooting spree.

Who is Bob? Someone said I was Jen earlier. Why do ya'll assume you know who I am? The only name I have used is this one. I have my right to post whatever I want just like the rest of you. This is the only place I have posted anything about this case. As far as any of you know I could be an investigator in this case! I posted "wait and see" because I was tired of people thinking is was arguing with them and kindly stepped off of this blog only to come back and read the childish comments left since.

I did not know that someone asking someone else to keep a secret was "guilty". I know that in many many many times in my life I have asked people to keep a secret something until I was ready to share with all, and isn't that just what he did? So before you again, start all this "bashing" stop and ask yourself could I have ever done something like that in my past, present or future?

I see the point that your making. I think if we all just sit back and wait, once all the evidence is presented I think everyone will have a clear point of judgment.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Texas on May 25, 2008 at 03:32 PM
Happyville. Don't think for a moment that I don't believe this man should be in prison for what happened that morning. The point I am trying to make is that if you allow yourself to have tunnel vision then he may just be a "free man" Even you are saying "why couldn't it have come from a limb" or why this and why that. Which is my exact point. None of that is a FACT! Therefore if they don't put manslaughter on the table he may very well walk. Instead of you wanting him to die (hense the term "express lane") maybe we should be trying to convict him on what we can logically see through. He needs the maximum of whatever we can get. In this case though "I" don't believe that would be murder!

Also to comment on the busted lip and the officer seeing it. My understanding is that the officer "heard" the shots, not seen it. Also the busted lip was not the only wounds he had, therefore no I don't believe it was from a tree. Now if I was on the jury and they had evidence to prove that it was from a tree and that no fight happened between all of them that morning, that would be enough to change my mind. At this point though what I see was more of a manslaughter case than a murder. Again "my opinion" that I am basing on what I know today. If other evidence presents itself then I may feel different, but if all that I have heard is all of the evidence then I feel the case will not hold up to the charges, and hope that the DA will include a manslaughter charge for the jury. Because if they don't then this man could very well walk with no time! Charges should be given based on evidence, which is the whole reason all of this happened in the first place.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Texas on May 25, 2008 at 03:02 PM
happyville. Now that last post sounds more like it. That is an actual opinion, where I don't feel as though you won't let me think for myself. I am no part of either of these families, and would view all of this just as a jury would. I have not allowed this mans past to have anything to do with the way I feel about this case, which is how it should go. And based on what I have read and heard "I" do not believe this was cold blooded murder. I feel it was more like manslaughter. I am not saying he is legally insaine, only that he was not in his normal state of mind that morning. I also am not saying that he didn't know it was wrong, but there is a BIG differece between murdering someone and killing someone but not meaning to. Again if he planned on killing and wanted to kill them all then they would all be dead. If he went there for the purpose of killing them he wouldn't of been talking at all. I respect your opinion and thank you for respecting mine. We just don't agree here

Well let see some of the facts as of this morning there is a BENEFIT for the CHILDREN and according to the hearing yesterday in BURLESON COUNTY TERRY FINNEGAN'S court by JEN's LAWYERS statement JEN wants all the money to go for her LEGAL FEE's and possibly for Guardian at LIGHTEN (which that is for the CHILDREN) so to speak but not the legal fees JEN has incurred. SO GO BUY LOTS of BAR B QUE so you can pay her legal fees. She is buying a new house while Burleson County is footing her legal bills. She is buying a new ESCALADE while Burleson County is footing her bills... HMMMMM what does either have to do with the CHILDREN all THREE of DAVID'S Children, Who is gonna pay for COLLEGE? IS it also gonna be BURLESON COUNTY. DAVID was a simple man the house they lived in is fine and so is the NEW VEHICLE that was bought months before he died, and if a new vehicle is needed why an ESACLADE doesn't have to be top of the line. BUY and ADD MONEY so JEN can have the best. Poor milking of BC PP.

As I have stated before, I do know about the law and the judicial system and if they try to plea insanity the DA is allowed to enter his criminal history into court. The prison system would have evaluated him before they let him back into society. Unfortunately this is another flaw in the system. Had they done a more in-depth evaluation on him in the first place, maybe all of this could have been prevented.
Posted by: Really?? Location: HAPPYVILLE on May 23, 2008 at 08:24 AM
so wrong of them. How dare them! Come on! Can you seriously believe that? What about him running through the woods that morning? He couldn't have got a busted lip from a limb? Lets take into consideration the fact the officer saw him, what is the only defense that he could have other than self defense?(if that is even possible)He was somewhere he could have been shot without any questions being asked. You act like him beating himself up to make it look it was selfdefense is not a possibility, but why not? If you calling me simple minded on this site makes you feel better about this issue, by all means say it all you want. It will not change the fact that Doug murdered two people.
Posted by: Really?? Location: Happyville on May 23, 2008 at 08:12 AM
Ok, Sorry but I'm not Jen. I really hope she isn't reading all of this. I'm sure it could only cause more pain. Another thing, I was happy to hear that Doug was given another charge and thats why I put that location on here. As far as being happy about a very tragic occurrence, I have way more compassion for the victims in this case than any of the Doug supporters on this site can imagine. However I don't feel that Doug is a victim in this case at all. That is my OPINION. You think because I know more than you about something means I had to be there, that just proves that YOU really have no idea about the WHOLE story. By the way, attacking someone like Jen in this case is unimaginable. To Anonymous in Texas - You have your opinion and I have mine. Your right, the victims in this case had the right to kill him with no questions asked, but they didn't. Them trying to defend themselves against someone that already treatened them, and was order by the court to stay away from them, was

No Happyville what you are saying is NOT getting under my skin. I just think that what you are trying to say is ignorant. You have no idea what happened in either case so i think you should just keep your mouth closed. You say you are happy.. Do you just want them to be dead or do you just want the money. Either way that shows you really didn't care.

Posted by: JW Location: College Station on May 22, 2008 at 01:27 PM
To Happyville. Thanks, I don't believe you are being snide at all, just stating your opinion the way you see it. However, I think you are wasting your breath here talking to people who support the cold blooded monster that did this. You can really expect nothing less than this from this family. I feel bad that Doug has put them where they are today in dealing with his mistakes. I don't know how they can stand behind him on this one. I would have a hard time if it was one of my family memebers that did such a horrible thing. And to Dougs Heart, I think you have the same problem as he had with his anger issue, you should check into some treatment for that before you do the same thing he has done.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Texas on May 22, 2008 at 12:42 PM
Also, happyville, a persons past has no bearing on this case unless it is directly linked to it. Again you or I don't know what all happened in that case either! So if I was accused of something today should my past criminal record (which I didn't do) be used against me? My situation is exactly why you can't. It has no bearing whatsoever on this case. I am basing my opinions on the evidence of this case, which is what a jury will have to do. You are basing yours on things that have nothing to do with this case, which would never be allowed in a court of law. Since we have been acting like children here should I start singing nanny, nanny, boo, boo now?
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Texas on May 22, 2008 at 12:32 PM
How'd he get the busted lip and brueses then? There was some kind of fight, and it wasn't with the police, because he surrendered without incidence. He could of just waited for them to come out and start picking them off one by one. Thats not what happened though, and others that were there are still alive! The only two gone seem to be the ones that started fighting with him. Wait.....he beat himself up so he could say it went down differently. It all makes sense now. (thats how you sound when you post which is why no one will ever have a legitimate conversation with you or even listen becasue of your sarcastic, simple minded statements) Once again I will say there is more to this story than you know or I. But obviously this was not cold blooded murder. Also I am someone in this state and I don't see it as cold blooded murder, and the defense hasn't had to say anything for me to base that opinion on.
Posted by: Crazy!! Location: HAPPYVILLE on May 22, 2008 at 11:37 AM
I'm CRAZY??? Hate is a strong word. I'm absolutely positive your family is going through a horrible time, but who is to blame for that? DJ didn't drive to Katy and shoot Doug. Doug has himself to blame? Do you know with out a doubt that he didn't do what he was accused of in the first place? No, because your family and/or friends already posted saying that only two people knew the truth. The child and Doug, right? Your friends and family are also the ones that posted that you were going to have that HUGE PARTY. Blame that on your own too. You don't hate me only that I post comments that get under your skin. I've sit back an watched Dougs friends and/or family memebers attack Weichert family memebers with your post and it sickens me. As far as I'm concerned you show the same disregard and have the same temperment as he has. I'm confused, do you think I'm family or not?
Posted by: I hate you happyville Location: Dougs Heart on May 22, 2008 at 08:09 AM
To you from Happyville- You may know alot about htis story but you do not know about the Phillips family. I hope you know that this family will always be behind him. I hope you don't think otherwise because you will have another thing coming. You think that the Phillips family is just going to give up on him. YOUR CRAZY!!!! We know what he was going through and if you were going through some of the same things he was.... you would see this very differently. This was not "a Calculated, Cold Blooded, Premeditated Capital Murder case" like you think it was. You think that you are happy. Well if you were in the Phillips or Weichert family... You would not be happy. Not just two, but three lives were lost that day. Do you think this family is just sitting over here and having some HUGE party. Well guess what, WE AREN'T. There are many people in this family that are dealing with this just like there are many of your family members who are also. He did something wrong, but not what your saying
Posted by: Leniency? Location: HAPPYVILLE on May 21, 2008 at 01:28 PM
I won't have my day because I couldn't or wouldn't ever be a sadistic enough of a to do what this man has done. This became a Calculated, Cold Blooded, Premeditated Capital Murder case when he got the gun (amoung other things, weren't they tied up with zip ties??? ummm fighting back?? yeah right) and drove to Snook that morning. You can try a push the whole "insanity" theory all you want, that is your right. But in MY OPINION I see a man that had a plan motivated by what he was accused of and followed through with that plan. His defense attorney will have an extremely hard time finding someone in this state that will see it any other way. Besides that he has a violent history that happened before this child ever came into his life. How do you justify that? Oh, let me guess, just another case of wrongful conviction. I'm not trying to be snide to anyone, only posting my opinion here. If you don't want to read it you dont have to.

There is no way to take "guess I hit a nerve" and "man you really have bad luck" any other way than negative. You post in a very negative manner and then act as though it was taken out of context. From my experience though people slip through the justice systems cracks all the time, and it is enough to drive one insaine! From all that I have seen about this case though I don't see that this was cold blooded murder,again,my opinion. What I see is that a man pushed to the limit thought that he could intimidate someone into listening to him. Not thinking about the other people would still not listen and attack him. (which they had every right to in this situation) What he intended on doing turned into something else, and two people lost their lives. That is not cold blooded murder, or premeditated. He didn't have to talk or argue if he intended on killing. He could of just started killing people. Thats not what happened though, therefore I believe some leniency should be given.

You have no idea what I have been through in my life time. So don't asume you know anything about me. As far as my "bad luck" it wasn't meant to be sarcastic at all. Only stating a fact from what you have posted yourself, from child abuse, to being accused of it. On another note, why show leniency to someone who has shown none himself?
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Texas on May 20, 2008 at 09:54 AM
The point I am trying to make is that the justice system is not always fair! They don't always have anything to back up what they do, and I am an example of that. I work, pay taxes, raise kids, and do everything I am suppose to in this world. Somehow though those defending me have been imprisoned, and I have ended up with a criminal record! What! I too have been pushed to that very edge where I felt there was no hope, and I didn't even do anything! I also see with your sarcastic "bad luck" comment that you probably don't even believe what I am saying. Only people on the recieving end of "wrongly accused" knows what this feels like, and they are probably the only ones that can understand what happened in this mans brain that day. YOU on the other hand don't have a clue, because YOU DONT KNOW! Thats the point I am making to you. Yet I still agree he needs to be locked up, but based on the circumstances there should be some leniency given to this man!

Posted by: Bias Location: Katy on May 19, 2008 at 03:10 PM
JW - I posted yesterday but I guess it didn't go through. To answer your question I do not believe he should be getting out anytime in the near future. I am Bias on the side of him needing to be in jail! Even though I know the whole story and can somewhat understand how he lost his mind; I cannot stand by that kind of behavior whatever the reason. Even if it was manslaughter because if he wouldn't of went there none of it would of happened. I do believe however that if there is anyone still alive that played a part in the accusations that they need to be charged with the same as Doug. Because this type of behavior cannot be tolerated. You cannot destroy someone like that and act like it doesn't matter because you didn't physically do anything to them. This was the next worst thing you could do to someone other than kill. All I am saying is that no one is free from guilt in this, and that all parties need to be put away for thier crimes whatever they are!
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Texas on May 19, 2008 at 03:03 PM
Also his record would not be expunged if he was found not guilty it would only show that the charges were dismissed. Somebody stole my ID once and caught a indecency with a child case under my name. The charges under my name were dismissed the same day when they booked the person and ran finger prints. I didn't even know any of this happened until I tried to rent an apartment once and they denied me based on my criminal history. I didn't know what they were talking about (of course they didn't believe me even though the case was dismissed). They looked at me like I was some sick person. I contacted the courts and they told me I needed to get a lawyer to get it off my record. I contacted a lawyer and they wanted 10,000 dollars to get it off. I don't have that kind of money so it still comes up today if you run my name that I was arrested and charged with this. I have problems all the time and tend to have to live in bad areas because they are the only ones that will rent to me!

Happyville - the problem is YOU are trying to persude people instead of letting us have our own opinions. I never asked or said anything to you. You felt the need to comment on my post. All I did was the same as you and state my opinion. Now you are judging me assuming you know how I feel. Who said that I agreed it was okay for him to do what he did? I also never said he doesn't need to stay in jail for it, because I actually do think he needs to be locked up for a while. I was commenting on the accusations made against him before the deaths. You only assume you know what I want or what I believe, and since you don't agree with it you feel the need to directly comment on my post alone. Do you know any of these people? Do you know anything about what you are trying to persude people into believing? You have freedom of speach, but you also need some facts to back it up. Again we are talking about the accusations and not the killings, so make sure you are on the right subject!

Anyway it matters how I see it, I wont be on the jury but someone reading this may be. So you try and persuade everyone to view this issue the way you see it and I will do the same. Thats why I live in America (freedom of speech) and in Texas. In support of "Express Lanes" for people like Doug!
Posted by: Sorry to here that. Location: HAPPYVILLE on May 19, 2008 at 08:37 AM
Sorry to here about your father. But this is a totally different case. If Doug was found not guilty for those charges in Harris County he could have had his record expunged for that offence. And sure, while he didn't kill himself through this whole mess, it doesn't make him any less quilty. It only means he was too much of a coward to pull the trigger on himself. I do realize that the system is not perfect as most everything in this world is not, If it was we would need law and order.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Texas on May 18, 2008 at 10:16 PM
HAPPYVILLE - Sounds to me like you assumed this man was guilty no matter what! Maybe thats how everyone else was treating him as well....as all of the posting that I have read thus far have stated. People are acting like a guilty man would of done what he did. I don't believe that! A guilty man usually commits suicide or runs. They don't usually go out and kill the people that told on them. As far as I know even if he was found "not guilty" these charges would remain on his record...everytime his name was run it would show he was arrested for this and it was dismissed. And the rest of the world would look at the charges....not that he was innocent, but that he just got off some kind of way. They would view him just as you are right now, and thats not a way to live your life! The justice system screws up all the time if you didn't know. My father went to prison for hurting somebody that was on our property trying to kill us! I didn't believe that was right either!

Bias, So would you feel better having a weak minded phycopath out on bond? Friend or no friend? I know that if I had nothing to do with this case and didn't either side of it, that I wouldn't sleep at night knowing he was out. I'm glad you don't agree with what happen but even you should feel better about him being where he is. We'll let the jury decide his fate, which is more than Uncle David and DJ got.
Posted by: It's me again! Location: HAPPYVILLE on May 16, 2008 at 08:10 AM
To Anonymous in Texas, I'm glad to know that you have not been involved in our lovely court system but to give you a little information on why it has taken soooo long for him to go to court you should call the Harris county DA's office and find out what there case log is on cases like the sexual assault he is being charged with. It has nothing to do with if they think he did it or not, it has do to with them fitting him in to busy schedule of the judicial system. And I'm not sure but wasn't he going for a pre-trial hearing anyway, (may be mistaken but) if that was the case, he wouldn't have been going to jail that morning anyway.
Posted by: JW Location: College Station on May 15, 2008 at 04:24 PM
Are you saying that justice was served on David and Dj? There are ways to deal with lies (if you want to believe they were lying) its call get an attorney and prove they are lies, not get a gun and kill someone. Like I have said many times on this site THERE IS NO EXCUSE! Doug chose to be a murder in this case and you can't even deny that fact.
Posted by: Bias Location: Katy on May 15, 2008 at 02:43 PM
JW - I would like to say I would never want you to come to a place where you would agree or feel that your family members deserved what happened to them. I can only speak words from my mouth, and can't help what others say. I did know Doug and did not know your family, and yet I totally agree that he should do time for what he did, even if it was more like manslaughter when the investigation finishes. Because the bottom line is if he didn't bring a gun two people would still be alive. Personally I am a more strong minded person and would not of went that route, but not everyone can control rage when they are pushed too far. All I was trying to say is that I can somewhat understand how Doug got to that place. Still JW I do not agree that it was right or okay for him to of went there with a gun and two people end up dead. All I wanted to from posting was to stop the back and forth, and for people to see that no one involved in this is an evil person.

So many people are saying this guy should of went to court if the accusations weren't true. Heres the question.....what if they found him guilty? Obviously they weren't listening to him and had arrested him a couple of times already. Maybe he felt like he was going to jail that morning and if I'm not mistaken if he already had two felony's before this....he would of been looking at a life sentence. Which that is what he is looking at now, but for something that actually happened. I don't know....this is crazy! I can't believe this went on for so long. Also if he really did what they were accusing him of why was it taking so long to put him away? I would assume if there was any proof he would of been locked up a long time ago? Over a year? Nothing about all of this makes any sense to me. I feel like 3 people lost thier lives here. I don't even believe the little girl had too much to do with this and was just stuck in the middle of it all. This is messed up!

JW and justice is served on all parties involved. As you see more things come out DJ, David, and the children were not the only victims. If falsely accused - as he was- Doug was also a victim. Justice needs to be served on all parties involved in this.

"JW - Did you even know anything about this whole story?" I'm sure I didn't know everything that was going on, and no I haven't change my mind about how I feel as more things are coming out. I know that if Doug would have shown up at court instead of Snook I wouldn't be on this site right now. My family has lost two men that we can't go down to the local lock up and try to make feel better about what they did. Can't go tell them we understand why they did what they did. Can't cry because they are behind bars and we can't hug them. We can only pray that justice is served on the person who took there lives.

I did say that either way, if she lied, or told the truth, she will have to live with feeling the blame for the rest of her life. That alone is a hudge burden to carry for a child. Someone stated earlier that there are only two people that know what the truth is, the question is who do you believe? A three time felon that held a family a gun point before this ever happen and was convicted of if, or a child that just wanted to live with her father? It's a hard call to make. I feel sorry for both families in this case.

To the Weichert family, Please do not think we are ganging up on you. We just want you all to see how this all started. We know what happend that morning is a tragedy. We just hope you see who cried Wulf really is and how this all started. When the kids came into our lives we took them in as our family not step. To this day we love them and would do anything for them. They are wonderful kids!! We do not have any hatred for your family. We all are grieving over this. I Hope one day you will be able to forgive the Phillips family. The Phillips family only blames that one person that cried WULF. I hope you learn the whole truth to way this happened. Thanks and God Bless

Are you people really dogging out a family member on an issue where they just lost family members?? JW, I just want to apologize for the ignorance on this site.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Texas on May 14, 2008 at 08:57 AM
I heard about this story and just want to say I was in this little girls position. I was scared to say anything about a step parent abuseing me because he treaten my family. I said nothing and it continued for years until I was old enough to get out on my own. You people that think she is lying maybe you should be sitting in her position right now. If she lied, she got her family killed, if she told the truth, she got her family killed. Either way she will feel it's her fault for the rest of her life. Please pray for her she will need those prayers from now on.

With Doug in jail and DJ dead JW is starting to see more of how this "Story" started.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Somewhere on May 13, 2008 at 05:08 PM
JW - Did you even know anything about this whole story? Because you seemed pretty livid about this situation earlier on in the postings. How you were a family member and "did" know what happened out there so people needed to know who they were talking to. Now BIAS has posted a few informational comments and now all you say is "he still shouldn't of done that!" Now I AM wondering what all lies behind this whole story? Did he do what he was accused of? Did the judicial system enable these people to distroy this mans life without question? Would that be enough for someone to go tempareraly insaine? This should be a movie; but it hurts my heart to know that it is a true life story of 2 families. I will pray for both families involved in this situation.
Posted by: Bias Location: Katy on May 13, 2008 at 03:11 PM
The truth is that no one...myself included cannot say what the evidence shows until it is presented to us. I would assume they would look for fingerprints on the weapon in question and if more than Doug's is on it then that would raise questions as to what happened that morning. All I have seen though is nobody that believes in Doug has made any statements about anything waiting for the law to do its job because they seem to believe it. As they are still now only saying the truth will come out. Hense why I am writing this so that all posting can see into the whole story, and understand why people are defending him. None of these people are evil or bad people, they just have more information than everyone else to base an opinion about Doug on. Nonetheless though people lost lives and there is nothing RIGHT about that. I just can't believe the justice system didn't pull these children and intervien long before this happened! It kind of pisses me off; because this didn't have to be
Posted by: Bias Location: Katy on May 13, 2008 at 02:36 PM
JW - I agree, that is why I am Bias in this situation, because the end result is two people lost thier lives. I cannot comment on what happened out there that day because all the information I have read or heard is too circumstantial for me to even try and base an opinion. I have not heard any facts about that morning, but only educated guesses to what happened. Obviously Doug brought a gun with him and that was the gun that took thier lives, but with him having a busted lip and battle wounds that tells me there was some kind of a fight. Theres no telling if the grandfather was shot accidentally in that struggle or if DJ was...or if he did just shoot one and then the other fought for his life. No one can say, but its enough circumstancial evidence to not be able to say what actually happened. I believe that is why so many people are saying "wait for the truth" Maybe this wasn't cold blooded murder, but more like manslaughter....then again maybe it was murder.

To Bias, I totally understand how a person what you're saying but, There is NO reason for what he did.
Posted by: Bias Location: Katy on May 12, 2008 at 02:56 PM
In response to Anonymous the child pornography was two pictures of his baby....one taking a bath with the little rubber ducky....and the other when she ripped her diaper off while being potty trained. I don't know about the rest of America, but everyone I know has pictures like that. Thankfully the Phillips family let us all know that if you are ever accused of something of this nature and pictures like that are found it is considered child pornography. We have all went through our photo albums at this point for fear of what the goverment can do. To the rest of America if you didn't know......there is no gray area when it comes to child pornograpy. Any photo of a minor (regardless of age) naked is considered child pornography. He lost his daughter due to that. Kinda seeing how he went crazy now people? I still do not agree with what he did, and would not of went that way myself, but for the first time in my life I cannot bring myself to judge this man! Love and Peace.
Posted by: Anonymous on May 12, 2008 at 12:39 PM
Maybe Phillips would have been taken seriously if he had not been in possession (and had confiscated by law enforcement) the child pornography.
Posted by: Bias Location: Katy on May 11, 2008 at 06:52 PM
Also I want to stress that I do not agree not even a little bit about what went down out there. There are a couple things I don't understand.....like him apearing in court with a busted lip and some battle wounds. He had been there a while before the police showed up and the officer heard the shots...so that tells me that somebody tried to be captin save a hero when they saw the police, and lost in the worst way. He will need to pay for that no question about it, but he is definitly not the only one who needs to pay for something here. If I'm not mistaken DJ had another child when he was 32 and the mother was 17 so I don't believe he is the greatest man that ever lived either. Nonetheless he didn't deserve to die...no one does. Including Doug, but we do need to pay for what we do in this life, and this whole situation is a tragedy. Peace and love to all that read this.
Posted by: Bias Location: Katy on May 11, 2008 at 06:46 PM
I know a bit about this story from the begining of it all. I was not there for any of this....the killing.....or the so called abuse. What I do know is how crazy all of this has been for the Phillips family. This has been going on for over a year and in my opinion the social worker working this case should never have left these children in either party's custody. One side screaming child abuse and the other screaming custody battle. Just as they took the the fathers statement seriously they should of done the same for the Phillip's statements. What you all fail to realize is this man had been arrested numberous times, missed a lot of work, had his own child taken from him, and with no money pretty much lost everything. Because he took someone else's children in took care of them as if they were his own, then lost everything because of it. I really believe he lost his mind that morning because no one would listen to him, and he just wanted to talk, and ask WHY do this to me?

The "Doug Party" only WISHES the facts were lies. So much for the party... Don't worry I'm sure he'll make plenty of close new firends where he's going.
Posted by: Ummmm spell check? Location: HAPPYVILLE on May 9, 2008 at 11:41 AM
Sorry but if you're going to call people LIARS maybe you should spell it correctly. But then again looks who is spelling it. . . Maybe you should go make a sworn statement since you know so much. It's clear you have nothing or you'd put it here to redeem yourself and beloved Doug. I'm sure the truth to everything will come out and I pray that the jury is a group of knowledgeable peers that will see Doug for the monster he is. A person that is not guilty of a charge because someone lied (if it was a lie) would let the system work for him and not take it in to his own hands. Too much evidence against Doug for all of you to entertain the idea he is getting out.

Posted by: anonymous a Location: Caldwell on May 8, 2008 at 03:09 PM
I have periodically looked at these comments since the day of the shooting and from what I see, no one has a clue as to what happened out there that morning and you don't know what has been going on for years that led up this event. I'm not taking up for Doug, what he did was wrong, but if the truth comes out of one person in particular in the first trial, then you will begin to see what drove him to this and while you might not be able to forgive him, you will at least have an understanding of the situation. Because a person that should have known better spread some rumors, some true, some completely false, the capital murder trials will most likely be moved because he can't possibly get a fair trial here because of the kind of BS that I've seen displayed on this page. If you wait for the trials you'll find out what happened, until then I just wish most of you would keep your ignorant mouths shut and your comments to yourself.

"All he said was he loved me and it will be ok" with a cry here and a cry there via the tv. Please really go cry to someone who cares about your little dougiepoo and what happens to him.

I don't have anything to do with either side of this issue but if feel compelled to offer some advice, To the one talking about the whole truth, spill it or just don't say anything, because you are only trying to make a bad situation worse and upsetting the other family is probably not a good idea. Oh but your hiding behind anonymous as a name means you can say whatever you want. Although, I'm sure they could care less what your feeling are anyway. JW- I know you feel attacked but understand who these people are and who they have as a friend. Understand that it will take time to heal and maybe it isn't a good idea to be reading comments put up about someone who killed your family members. It's just not worth it. I hope you all can find a way to put this behind you and move on.

Posted by: Anonymous on May 8, 2008 at 01:35 PM
I cannot stand it anymore. I have been keeping up with this story. This man's supporters keep telling us to wait till truth comes out. WHAT TRUTH?? Here is the truth, he stole a gun from his father two weeks ahead of time, he drove an hour away to somewhere he should not have been, he shot two people, he ran from cops, he kidnapped some innocent man in his home, then decided to surrender. Regardless of the truth from the charges he faced in Harris County, those are the facts. To Doug's family, I understand your support, but I hope you realize that he is a bad person and your help just lets him know that he can continue his wicked ways. To the victims family, fear not as this man will face a jury of his peers, (who will not be his family) and he will ultimately have to face one person, who I suspect will not be having a party for him...GOD.

good idea! Make the bond higher, harder to get out - also increase the charges to include another serious one just in case there is a technicality on the murders. The Burleson County Judge and DA are really using good judgment and trying to cover all the bases.
