Hi Big,

As a Pittsburgh connection, I am quite familiar with Michaels, since she
is from here. (Up until the Steeler game last night, I was rather proud to
be from here..)

ANYWAY. She was released after the original trial was declared (I
THINK..) a mistrial. I believe the prosecution decided not to retry (the
kids memories years later, the pain and anguish of going thru it again,
etc), though they said they still thought she was guilty.

She returned to the area, though I don't know what she is up to at this
time. Now that you reminded me of her, think I will check around and see
if I can find out where she is today, what she is up to.

Margaret Kelly Michaels Today

A thought of mine on her. While all I have read seems to be of the
opinion that she was totally railroaded and spent time (years) in prison
for nothing.. I have to admit. though I feel certain some of the stuff
was exaggerated.. I always thought she was guilty of child abuse..
Acknowledging that this thought/feeling was a 'gut' thing. but..there
were a ton of things said that just made me think. she did something wrong
with those kids..

Sorry I am not able to provide facts. But that is me. I seem to relate
on a 'feeling' level!' Sort of why I can't quite let go of the 'Burke did
it' possibility.

PattyC (who thought the minute I saw that info about the grandma kiliing
the 4 year old.. thought.. the mother (daughter of grandma, of course)
did it..Can't tell you how many times I have been right about these
feelings . .should I open a Riley G type web site?)
