Johnny S. Clarke & Lisa Straub- young Ohio couple murdered

[Lady Cop]

from the link ^ 13ABC

The mother of a murder victim has been banned from the courtroom when her son's alleged killer goes to trial.

Cameo Pettaway is charged with the murders of Johnny Clark and Lisa Straub. Officials have ordered Clark's mother, Maytee Clark, be banned from the courtroom during Pettaway's trial.

Court documents say Maytee "cannot conduct herself with any self control and could cause problems during the course of this trial."

Pettaway and another man are charged with two counts of murder each for the January 2011 killings.

I think the judge made the right choice. I'm sure she will be allowed to speak her peace at some point, but it's obvious that during the pretrial hearings, she couldn't keep her mouth shut and was disrupting the proceedings.

I feel that Mrs. Clark should be allowed to AT LEAST speak her peice at the end of the trail to this Pettaway murder. It will never undo any damage or hurt, but it will hopefully give her some type of closure.

I say let the mother go to the trial. If she causes a problem then remove her, but she has every right to be outraged. She should also be able to say her final words once the men are sentenced.

2 of these comments have already convicted. at the end of the TRAIL, instead of the trial.

But, Williams will be on trial at the same time, right? So Maytee has another shot at controlling herself. I'm sure she'll be there.
And hopefully medicated.

they can duct tape her mouth.

What are you laughing about. Some anonymous poster name melly56 forgot the "when two vowels go a walking" lesson from 3^rd grade and you think that is worthy of a mock? In your cell bock?

I'm more concerned about the "i" before "e" except after...lesson.

And the fact that the "i" before "e" should be "when two vowels go a walking".

Or a refresher course on homonyms.

And I feel a bit bad for Maytee. Her niece has her fb open for the first time ever, and Maytee comments.

Mostly what she says on her RIP site. But sometimes she says normal things. And sometimes she says she needs to take her meds and go to bed. But, she can speak normal, and casual, about mundane things.

If intials (CW) mean anything then maybe Chris Watson was first interviewed back on 2/16/11? And Chris has a brother named Anthony (AW) that was interviewed in March 2011? Kind of flows with the timeline of when it was first mentioned here on Mock that the killers were known. And a member asking if TW had a brother.

Did Christopher Watson's father re-marry? I can understand the first wife walking away from a loser! I figured he was about 3 years old when she left but, I saw no mention of another child, then she'd have two desperadoes that need counseling!! There is an AW fellow who went to Bowsher School like Johnny and he could have been at the party he has some of the same people Johnny's cousin LL has. This is only my opinion!

In the public doc's for the divorce it mentions child supprt and Anthony. As well as Christopher. Anthony had a robbery offense against the young lady from the southside that OD'd on percoset? Held a knife to her throat? It is weird when other, unrelated stuff just pops up.

Trial in about a month.

Is CWs father now a Rev? Reverend CW?

Just to add about the niece on fb lots of mention about Kush on there,they love it so much they even take pictures of it! we live for Kush out there A few words mentioned about other killers still out there. Maytee likes to chat when she can squeeze in.

PS I noticed Williams buddy SG comments on her FB pictures.

LOL what a bomb shell this is! yes I recall seeing this Reverend article but, never dreamed this could be their father, good thing you checked the Divorce Papers Let me say right now the Reverend needs to for these two lost sheep!

Here is his mugshot from 2008 DUI



Here is his web site and a photograph of him.

The father could have had a born again experience IMO

It sure is very strange how other things crop up, for e.g. a knife to a young girls throat! the son is a devil.

[Adub]

And it may be just tangential. I do know that TW and AP were the initial pinch point, I think. Taking APs cellphone and interviewing all his contacts.

So the lead-in to CW on the 16^th of Feb 2011 was TR on the 14^th, and prior to that BS on the 11^th.

Trial starts in about a month.

The police possibly interviewed the Watson brothers and CW I believe was roaming free at the time of the murders' not sure on AW he was maybe on Probation. A close girlfriend of Lisa's has AW initials and there is a Williams guy with a few of the same friends as Lisa's girlfriend. Time will tell.

Cellphones as you stated above would be checked. I noticed VD is not on the list, now there is a BA on discovery list VD's girlfriend, it could be her IMO. What gets me, if VD was one of the last people to see Johnny alive why isn't he on the list? apparently Johnny knew him growing up they used to be neighbours but, one of the families moved so there was a gap in years IMO, so somehow they re-connected possibly after Johnny got out of prison, anyway Lisa was working that night at TGI Fridays and Johnny was over at VD's home watching the Pro Bowl, apparently BA the girlfriend was there because she stated on her Facebook "she never dreamed it would be the last time she saw Johnny alive" then she watched him walk out the door. BA would know how many others were at the party and Johnny did marijuana at the party it was in his blood stream and possibly left with a bag of it even IMO, then Johnny drives to pick Lisa up from work. Well on Facebook I recall VD being gone for a week, laying low something along those lines and no cellphone, I think this is odd ! So nothing like being out of the way for a week with no phone and your friend was murdered after he left your house. BA really adored Johnny she has never stopped talking about him and BA & VD seem to split up every so often she was talking to Johnny's cousin JC and VD got really annoyed.

Maybe he has been interviewed already! Maybe he's a confidential witness IMO.

New posts to-day on Court Dockets re Cameo Pettaway and Samuel Williams requests for discovery by Defendants' Lawyers' is quite lengthy & due to this they could extend the trial date, conversation about the safety of witnesses and a supplemental on Facebook pages added.

If there are more people out there wouldn't this delay a trial regardless? If there are more involved why would Cameo and Samuel keep quiet? I am happy to hear LE got Facebook pages! they are right on the ball there! wouldn't it be interesting to know whose Facebook pages they have! let's hope the Facebook pages did help LE Maytee talked a lot on Facebook if LE got that info with her and Aaron Griffin that was a blast that was.

ive also heard that johnny was part of the plan , set it up to be done the night of the party. and as to ''the robbery gone wrong'' i believe that there where it falls into play , maybe he had something to do with it the entire and the perfect time to do it was wen lisa was in shower and parents werent home , but when he was approached by the one that he did know , then by the one that he didnt know i think thats where it had went wrong . and also for this TW girl , why is it that she needed a ride because she didnt have one , but RUSHED there after she got off the phone with johnny , idont understand that part.

i heard that she was the one that was confirming and setting the robbery up , and had called johnny and lisa to get them out of the house , but by the time they went to go walk out it was already too late

Just catching up here. Um, holy shit. This is pretty stunning info, IF TRUE. I'm sure lots of rumors have gone around but what you've heard sounds somewhat possible, to me. Do you consider your sources reliable or are they people who bullshit?

[shitstorm]

i want to know why this tiffany is just out walking and roaming streets because i believe she knows more and knows whos out there and who did what .

I wouldn't doubt that about Tiffany. She strikes me like one of those people who knows everyone and has the dirt on everybody. She also doesn't seem to run her mouth so I'll bet people confide in and trust her. She is VERY good at acting really innocent and playing the concerned friend but that girl is hard core and she was there, right in the middle of the action, that night.

So I have been reading all of these posts, I must say there is a whole lot of info here. I wanna throw in a curve ball. Straight facts! Sam and Starla Nov 2011, picked up in FBI underage prostitution sting. Starla has 2 year old daughter in car with pimp Sam, while she goes into hotel to meet her "John" who turns out to be FBI agent. Of course CSB is now brought into play...they give case plan to Starla, Sam is to be no where near her 2 children.... Starla takes Sam to pick kids up from daycare CSB gets that info, takes her children away, all she had to do was loose the jerk and no problem she can have her kids...instead she plays with CSB telling lie after lie..She has her 3^rd child, Sam's assumed child in Mar. After 1 ¹⁄₂ years in CSB system well aware the ONLY thing keeping her from her children is her relationship with this loser instead of dumping him for her children she MARRIES HIM on Dec 12 in prison while he is being charged with murder... losing all 3 children! The older 2 both live with their faeries now, while Sam's alleged baby is with her mother... Lost total custody of all 3 children, now on supervised visits with her children all to marry this Monster! Why would she marry him is what really bothers me! She has to know something or be involved someway, I cant understand why she would marry him knowing that her children would be taking from her!

She obviously cares nothing for her kids. As for getting married .... a wife can't be forced to testify against her husband. It may be as simple a reason as that.

[shitstorm]

Welcome! 'queen bitch'. Is the Hotel the Bedford Inn by any chance? It's all very sad for these three little children and the little boy with his ex-wife the poor little soul with a loser father! If he's found guility we need to wait and see he could be a Psychopath and even she doesn't know it. Maybe she thought if she married her Sammy she wouldn't have to testify against him. She worked at Rumors and thats right next door to Bed Bath and Beyond so maybe she was along for the ride that night also. Pimps are desperate people!

Okay, now, THAT is interesting.

[Lady Cop]

i understand from the judicial grapevine that some defense lawyers and their minions made a visit to view the Straub house. back in April.

that just previews the likelihood that jurors, at some point, will go inside and view the crime scene.

it must be hard on the Straubs to have curious people hanging around.

[justme]

There sure have been a lot of interesting posts lately. Thanks to everyone for their input. I love reading the facts AND everyone's opinion. Mine has remained the same since day one--that Maytee opened her big mouth and unintentionally caused the chain reaction resulting in the deaths of Lisa and Johnny.
