Lesa Buckley murder

[admin]

This is case with a lengthy discussion on a local Eaton website.

We request that, rather than continue the random discussion here, viewers direct themselves to the forum (while it remains available) at that other website.
talkeaton.com/viewtopic.php?t=400&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Though the topic is now closed to further discussion at that website, the thread is still available for reading up on the case. Unfortunately, the thread is 100 pages long, and much of what could have been a searching or informative thread turned into personal insults and lots of wasted time and energy.

But there are many examples of unprofessionalism or manipulation by authorities in that case which are similar to our triple homicide, and we feel an investigating authority could use a good deal of the information provided there if it was possible to weed through the non-informative posts in that thread.

Interested parties for the accused in the case, Billy Scott, are in the process of creating a website devoted to fact finding and appealing to a higher authority. That website is www.clearbillyscott.com/

Interested parties in that case are welcome to introduce themselves and provide other links here. We do not wish to host another discussion similar to the one available at the forum link above. We do encourage further useful posts, though, as it seems recently some people are feeling safer to add information they have.

We wish peace and comfort and truth to all victims, family and friends of those involved in the Lesa Buckley case.

R.I.P., Lesa.

The Scott family may be interested in contacting The Innocence Project (if they haven't already)

www.innocenceproject.org/

The Innocence Project at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University, founded by Barry C. Scheck and Peter J. Neufeld in 1992, is a non-profit legal clinic and criminal justice resource center. We work to exonerate the wrongfully convicted through postconviction DNA testing; and develop and implement reforms to prevent wrongful convictions. This Project only handles cases where postconviction DNA testing can yield conclusive proof of innocence.

The Scott family has created an impressive website for Billy Scott in the Lesa Buckley case.

Hey, I love this Tai! This chat room is awesome - good job. Thank you so much for including us here. Thank you for the advice 4UDonnie we appreciate it. The problem is The Innocence Project at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University only handles cases where postconviction DNA testing can yield conclusive proof of innocence. There was no semen found in Lesa that we are aware of.

There is a good amount of controversy concerning the fact that Investigator Lindloff refuses to release photographs of the autopsy to the Scott family or their attorneys. There is good reason to suspect that those photographs reveal asphalt on the body, thus proving that the murder was performed by more likely persons at another location.

We have found an interesting citation in another PC court case...

Crim.R. 16(B)(1)(c) provides that "pon motion of the defendant the court shall order the prosecuting attorney to permit the defendant to inspect and copy or photograph books, papers, documents, photographs, tangible objects, buildings or places, or copies or portions thereof, available to or within the possession, custody or control of the state, and which are material to the preparation of his defense, or are intended for use by the prosecuting attorney as evidence at the trial ***."
Violations of Crim.R. 16 constitute reversible error "only when there is a showing that (1) the prosecution's failure to disclose was a willful violation of the rule, (2) foreknowledge of the information would have benefited the accused in the preparation of his defense, and (3) the accused suffered some prejudicial effect." State v. Joseph (1995), 73 Ohio St.3d 450, 458. The granting or overruling of discovery motions in a criminal case rests within the sound discretion of the trial court. State v. Shoop (1993), 87 Ohio App.3d 462, 469. Abuse of discretion connotes more than an error of law or judgment; it implies that the trial court's decision was arbitrary, unreasonable, or unconscionable. State v. Adams (1980), 62 Ohio St.2d 151, 157; State v. Davis (1992), 79 Ohio App.3d 450, 454.

We are now posting a few key documents to drive home the impact of official wrongdoing in this case. There are many, many more documents at clearbillyscott.com which should be read to get the full idea of how (and why) this case was conducted.
------------------------------------------------
In a notarized statement from a witness in the Lesa Buckley case, the witness had later been jailed in a domestic case. In the statement he tells of an experience with David Lindloff coming to his cell and stating that the witness had better forget everything he knew in the Buckley case if he knows what is good for him...

----------------------------------------------

In a statement, written by a "witness" in the actual trial in the Lesa Buckley case, David Lindloff is identified as having coached this person in incriminating testimony.

In exchange, this person was promised an appeal of a prior conviction, sentence reduction, no parole violation, intervention in divorce proceedings with visitation of a child, and breakfast and dinner before and after the testimony offered at the grand jury...

There was hair evidence taken from both Billy and Lesa. Just a thought but they can get DNA from hair! It doesn't have to be from body fluids. Many DNA tests are done on hair.

Sure wish the Billy Scott folks would get their message boards up and running. Perhaps they want comments posted here.

So, here is mine....

I have never seen an autopsy on a female that did not state that the victim was gravida or non-gravida. (Pregnant/not pregnant).

Just thought that is short-coming of this particular report of autopsy. :-/

May mean noting or it may mean EVERYTHING.

Preble County is FILTHY. No doubt in my mind....

I just saw an article in 2023 that the Innocence Project took on this case and is making progress. Wow! Good on you for suggesting this!
