Breaking news: Daniel Wade Moore was found not guilty today on charges that he killed Karen Tipton back in 1999. From WAFF48:
Moore was acquitted on four counts of capital murder and one lesser charge of non-capital intentional murder related to the death of Tipton, who was found slashed and stabbed to death in her home.
More from WHNT. See the poll results from viewers at WHNT here.
I first wrote about the case in 2005 here. I always believed in Moore's innocence and I put his case my list of cases I didn't agree with in the right-hand column (it's still there).
I am so happy to hear that Moore finally got justice. He paid a long and hard price in his life for poor decisions, but I don't think he ever made the decision nor committed the crime of murder.
This is worth a celebration! To read all of my thoughts on this case, click on the labels below.
Thanks, Becky, for the first lead to this breaking story!!

Daniel Wade Moore's third trial went to the jury this week. So far the jury has deliberated two days, and is due to report back to the courthouse on Monday at 9:00 a.m. I have been keeping an eye out, waiting to hear the jury's verdict.
I saw Daniel Wade Moore speak about the crime on 48 Hours years ago, and I saw Dr. Tipton speak as well. I can tell you I do not believe Daniel Wade Moore killed Karen Tipton. In the first trial, Daniel Wade Moore was convicted, but that was overturned due to misconduct by the prosecutor. The second trial resulted in a hung jury, and amazingly, the courts decided to try him once again.
I wonder how the law will work if the third jury comes back hung again?

This weekend 48 Hours updated us on the story of Karen Tipton (Truth on Trial). A young pretty wife of a doctor was found murdered in her home back in 1999. There has always been controversy in this case: Did Daniel Wade Moore kill Karen, or was it someone else?
In April of 2009, Daniel Wade Moore will face his third trial as the accused killer of Karen Tipton.
I originally wrote about this case in November of 2005 before Daniel Wade Moore second trial when 48 Hours first interviewed Tipton. You can read my opinion here. At that time I wrote Tipton gave me the chills. Public opinion was a toss up. People's views were clearly split.
This time around, however, I think the the average person is seeing Tipton for who he is. His cocky grins and arrogant smiles are hard to palate. They can't be dismissed. He almost reminds you of Drew Peterson, doesn't he?
Read moreTipton also doesn't seem to be feeling normal emotions, or emotions consistent with what he is telling us. He doesn't show any indication that he is sad or upset about what happened to his wife nor does he show any anger that the truth is not prevailing, if in fact what he wants us to believe, is true.
Instead Tipton comes across as controlling yet he smiles at very odd times. He gives us this overwhelming feeling he is on a mission to make sure Moore is guilty--no matter what. He is cold, callous and uncaring, and I think everyone is picking up on this.
For me, when I sat down to watch Tipton, I noticed a very peculiar behavior that I have seen deceptive people exhibit before, and Tipton does it at the most interesting times.
What does he do?
He makes affirmative statements yet says them like a question. In essence and to be more precise, his voice inflection and pitch goes up at the end of the statement instead of down. It's very notable and I think supportive that Dr. Tipton is not being honest with us. That along with his emotions--cockiness, arrogance and flat-odd delightful smirks--give me great pause.
Here are some things Tipton said and what I thought:
“He’s (DWM) a liar. He lies all the time.”
When Dr. Tipton says this, he smiles. If your wife was killed and people were starting to believe a murderer, would you ever feel like smiling?
"He’s the guiltiest man in America. You can’t get any guiltier than that."
When he says this, listen to how Dr. Tipton's voice pitch/inflection goes up. Yet when Dr. Tipton is in the kitchen with his girls, and he says “How’s the meatballs going?", he strangely talks with normal voice inflection. Hmmm....
Erin Moriarty asks Tipton, "What drew you to her?" Tipton says "She was so pretty." Notice the pitch and inflection of his voice when he says the word "pretty"?
Yet when Dr. Tipton talks of Karen pregnant with her daughter in the photo he is holding and how his daughter is hugging her-- amazingly his voice pitch and inflection are normal.
Tipton: This (photo of a pregnant Karen) brings back bad memories. It was in front of the fireplace that she was attacked.
I suspect this is fact, and amazingly his pitch supports this.
“I saw immediately (voice pitch goes up) that the alarm panel which is to the right upon walking in the door (voice pitches up again)—that it had been removed from the wall. A few steps further and I see that its actually laying on the counter in the kitchen.
“…and I walked up the stairs and I was the most surprised person on the face of the earth (voice pitches up again) to get to the top and find a dead body there that looked somewhat like Karen (voice pitches up again).
Here I also can't help but notice the lack of emotions, and how he refers to Karen as a "dead body".
“The worst day of my life was about a week after the murders, and that’s when Catherine, then three years old, asked me when mommy was coming back from heaven. The was the worst single moment that I could ever imagine.”
What would be the worst day of your life? The day you find your wife's mutilated body, or the day you had to tell your children? Normal people who feel normal emotions wouldn't even have to second guess this one. The second worst day would be the day they had to tell their daughter what happened. The worst day would be the day they found their wife dead. There is no doubt about it, unless, of course, you hated your wife. Clearly, Tipton has difficulty feeling normal emotions for his wife.
Erin Moriarty: How do you think it happened?
Tipton: He came and knocked on the door (voice pitches up), and said hello (smirking)…I work for the alarm company (voice pitches up). He had been there just a few months before.
Tipton: He lied his way in the house (high pitched again).
Notice each sentence ends in a high pitch/inflection.
"The first injury was being cut or stabbed on the back left aspect (smirk) of the neck (odd high pitch here but no where else in this sentence), her shirt was forced off of her, and then she was forced upstairs with a blood trail going on the whole way. I think it is very likely that after that prolonged period of sexual and physical torture that she managed to actually escape from that and got to the top of the stairs before she was finally killed. There. Somewhere in the range of 28 stab wounds, that and probably the last thing to be cut was her throat."
Isn't that interesting? He seems to be restating factual evidence here.
"Daniel Wade Moore (DWM) confessed to involved. DWM is a 100% profile match for somebody that would do a crime just like this. That’s what crackheads do (inflection goes up here).
Notice he is smirking again? It flat out eerie. Why on earth does he feel like smiling??
Regarding the DNA hair found at the Tipton house: "It rules out 99.8 percent of the population leaving 2/10ths of 1%, and he’s in that 2/10th."
As Tipton says this he is grinning. What is there to grin about?
Erin Moriarty talks about how Tipton's friend Mike Ezell wrote Karen an e-mail about swapping wives, and Tipton responded "I was offended not only by Mike but by Karen as well."
Notice the eerie smile? Do his emotions fit with what he wants us to believe?
"Am I capable of killing somebody? (wink) Yup. Am I capable of killing a loved one? (high pitch again) No. Am I capable of torturing my wife to death? That’s crazy.
It's just flat out creepy. He feels like winking??
"I think that he (DWM) needs to be dead. I’m not allowed to kill him. The second best thing is for the state to kill him."
I think this says a lot by itself.
"They’re (his daughters) are afraid he’ll come back for them. Why not? Everybody should be afraid."
When Tipton says this, he grins the most haunting grin. Do you feel how bone-chilling it is? Sadly he is instilling fear and hate in his children instead of providing them with a nurturing environment which is not surprising. It fits the scenario here of someone who could do the unthinkable.
“I know the truth about me and Karen (odd voice pitch again) and I don’t need a bunch of rumors, and silliness to..ah…ah.. to change (smile) that. Ah, I know the real stuff."

This weekend on Saturday night is a must see TV show: Truth on Trial by 48 Hours.
(CBS) In March 1999, Karen Tipton, a mother of two and the wife of psychiatrist Dr. David Tipton, was found stabbed 28 times in her Decatur, Ala. home. And for the last nine years Daniel Wade Moore, who was convicted of the crime, has been at the center of an unprecedented legal battle, one that has his life hanging in the balance.
...Karen Tipton’s tragic murder has left many victims in its wake - two children forced to grow up without their mother, a husband who mourns his wife, a mother who stands by her son in his fight for freedom and Daniel Wade Moore who may be a casualty of the justice system.
I wrote about this case on my blog nearly three years ago to the day, and what I saw gave me great pause. I have written several posts about this case, taken polls and even heard from Juror #2 in the trail of Daniel Wade Moore (for Karen Tipton's murder).

For those of you who have interest in the Daniel Wade Moore case, a juror from the 2nd trial (that ended in a hung jury this past week) left a comment on my blog last night that is interesting reading.
It is in response to my post on Daniel Wade Moore and Dr. Tipton, and the comments made back in November 2005: An Innocent Man Convicted.

I wrote about Daniel Wade Moore back in back in November of 2005. Daniel Wade Moore's original conviction was thrown out, and his new trial began in February.
Today after six days of deliberation, the jury was hung, and the new trial was declared a mistrial nine years to the day Karen Tipton was found dead.
How ironic is that?
After the trial, the jury's vote was 4-4-4, with 4 being undecided (source). After deliberations, 8 people were for acquitting Daniel Moore, but 4 people were hold outs so it looks like this will go to trial for a third time.
I was happy to hear that 8 people were for acquittal. I can't believe they will try this for a 3rd time.

I believe Daniel Wade Moore is an innocent man. He was tried and convicted by a jury in the state of Alabama for the murder of Dr. David Tipton's wife. You can read the story here. He was also sentenced to die.
Just recently, Moore was set free, due to the discovery by the defense team that the prosecution suppressed evidence in the case. The defense team immediately filed for a new trial. The judge, upon review of the new evidence, in the case agreed with the defense, and went on further to state that trying the defendant again would amount to double-jeopardy, and he released Daniel Wade Moore.
Then upon review, the Alabama Criminal Court of Appeals stayed the judge's previous decision, and put Moore back in jail. The Court of Appeals must now make the ultimate decision in this case to free Daniel Wade Moore, or to give him a new trial based on the new evidence.
The new evidence in this case is an eyewitness account of a neighbor who says she saw Karen Tipton alive at 3:30 pm--more than two hours after the prosecution testified she was dead. Somehow the police lost her report.
Furthermore, the new evidence discovered by the defense reveals an FBI report that was never shared with the defense.
The evidence in this case is mostly circumstantial.
CBS News 48 Hours profiled this story on Saturday night. And they aired plenty of footage of both Daniel Wade Moore and Dr. David Tipton.
When Daniel Wade Moore talked, he was honest and truthful. He was consistent. He was genuine. He left little doubt he was truthful, though he did tell a lie that landed him in jail in the first place. Originally, he told his uncle he was in the house when Karen Tipton was killed. He now says he said that only to get his father and his uncle to leave him alone. He was a drug addict and wanted his space. I believe this is the truth.
Dr. David Tipton, however, gives me great pause.
His facial expressions were very inconsistent with what he was saying. He had glee in his eyes, a sense of joy and pride, and accomplishment glimmering in them that didn't fit with his story. His joyful expressions appeared when he wasn't supposed to be joyful. When he said no, you could see a glimmer of a yes come across his face.
His expressions didn't match his words, which indicates deception.
I found Dr. David Tipton's facial expressions arrogant, glimmering with a sense of accomplishment so much so that my heart pounded in violation. Dr. David Tipton scares me to pieces because of his callousness.
He is one cold, calculating man who I do not trust.
Give me the option to be in a dark alley with Daniel Wade Moore or Dr. Tipton, I'd choose Daniel Wade Moore hands-down every time.
Daniel Wade Moore needs to be set free.
