The public tends to forget that there is more than one side to a story and in this case there are two different families that are having to deal with this.
My prayers are with Mr.Hampton’s family, but my prayers are also with my own family who are still trying to answer the questions of why, and how could he. I have no qualms with anyone out there, everyone is entitled to their own oppinion, but we all need to stop and realize that with every victim there is a family left behind and with every one who has committed a crime there is a family left behind. both families hurt and both families are left with questions.

I just want to encourage the prayers for both families. LET GO of the pointing fingers & LET GOD….He has the final say. Sweep around your own back door before sweeping around somebody elses. Its only 3 people that know the absolute whole truth of the story (God, the killer & the victim). All things happen for a reason.
Learn from this situation, take time for your family members. Take time to say I LOVE YOU. You never know when it might be you last. Never put off tomorrow what you can do today….tomorrow isn’t promise. If you don’t have a personal relationship with God, get right people time is running out.

The tongue is the smallest part of out body but also does the most damage….so be careful what you say to whom you say it to. You never know who’s watching listening or who’s related to who……

Much prayer much power…..Be blessed….

I am a friend of Gary Riley and family from Gillett, Ar…many years ago. I worked at the Drugstore across the street from Riley’s grocery. (1967)

I am devasted about this. Mr. and Mrs. Riley are wonderful. I do not understand why this happened.

I pray for both families. This is a terrible thing for all.

Thank you, Jo Ann! First off.. he confessed to the entire murder and even took the police to the crime scene and showed them where he had thrown Bobby Hampton’s wallet! He give them explicit details about where and how he found Hampton and why he went there in the first place! How in the world can he sit there with a clear conscience and try to get off with saying that he isn’t competent to stand trial!! That is a crock of garbage! But we must remember that it isn’t our place to judge him for the horrendious crime that he committed,.. God say that we shouldn’t break his commandments and one is “THOU SHALT NOT KILL!” Like Mr. Binns said earlier..”Vengenance is mine saith the Lord..and I will repay. I sure don’t want to be in Mr.Riley’s place when he has to go before God to answer for this crime. I sure hope that he(Mr. Riley) has made his peace with God and got his life right..cause God is gonna have His way with this! Nan Carter..Monticello, Arkansas

As the saying goes LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRER. Not GUITLY,that’s a bunch of garbage. This was pre-mediated MURDER. And speaking of mental issues, that is just his safety net from being excuted. Riley you did the crime be man of enough to take what’s coming.
Do unto others as you would have them to do to you.

I’m sure there is some mental issues here, or he couldn’t have done what he did. Not that I think it should be used as a defense. My feelings are if he did it once, he could do it again, insane or not. But, I don’t think he is insane.

I am sooo sick and tired of this country using this Mental thing to cover up what has been done. This is one of the main reasons so many crimes are being committed because they know all they have to say is I was not in my right mind perhaps!! How can one admit to a crime then later say “Not Guilty” I have a mental problem!! We Americans need to take a stand for what is right!
Has this man ever been considered mentally ill? If not why now?
God Bless us ALL!!

I heard it, but I kept saying, “It can’t be true…not the person I went to school with. No Way.” Then I found this website, and I realize it is true. Gary took the life of a man that was obviously a well-loved and wonderful human being. How your town and your people must be hurting. I don’t live anywhere near your town, but please know that prayers are going up for all of you. I pray God will give you his healing strength.

When it’s all said and done, we must PRAY. May the peace of God that passeth all understanding be with both families now and forever. Remember the word of the Lord says Pray without ceasing. Now is the time like never before to Pray. After all thats going on I serve a true and living God who is faithful to all that call upon His name. To the Hampton family be encouraged. For the word of the Lord says Lift up your head all ye gates and be ye lifted up ye everlasting doors and the king of glory shall come in.
