FILED BY PROSECUTOR

PARTY : D1 - WILLIAMS SAMUEL TODD

This is the State trial date to continue response in full. Of over 100 items taken from the crime scene, over 25 were suitable for DNA testing. The DNA testing involved a comparison of the samples from 25 items of evidence against over 60 DNA profiles from known individuals' buccal swabs.

There's a lot of discovery items lists with very vague descriptions that the Prosecution has been providing the Defense. Plus there's two confidential witness and someone initialed "TJ" is doing a "plea bargin" in the case. I found that extremely fascinating (though TJ is mentioned in Pettaway's Dockets).

Aberlin, the discovery doesn't tell us where the cigarette stub was found.

"TJ" has been mentioned on Mock already he's on Mugshotsonline.com
he is Travis Erice Jones and more than one mugshot, he was wrongfully arrested for murder at one time. TJ then is arrested for aggravated robbery of a BP gasoline station, he is in jail shortly before Cameo Pettaway's arrival. I believe he is doing a "plea bargain" IMO.

Thanks for the correction Night Owl. I appreciate you clearing that up.

As for this "plea agreement" (as stated in the Docket under Discover Items) I'm assuming this could only mean a plea agreement on information regarding what happened as its "Discovery Items" from the Prosecution and not the State (unless, again, I'm mistaken and it was the Defense that mentioned the plea agreement).

Feedback?

1/30/2012 on Samuel Williams Court Dockets as follows: Discovery response Plea Agreement re "TJ" (Counsel Only). From the Prosecutor to Williams Counsel.

PLEASE BEAR WITH ME! I POSTED THIS EARLIER, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS. I read it as meaning that the prosecutor wants the trial delayed. (continued)

[Older Than Dirt]

OK, I know I'm right. Just VERY tired.

[an0n]

In reply to the question about if the trials will be broadcasted: I don't think they will be in my opinion. I can't remember the last time a trial was. Then again, we haven't had any trials this big that I can remember.

[Older Than Dirt]

It won't be on "regular" channels. Can't miss the soap operas. The Fr. Robinson was broadcast (live) camera left running, no commentary. Can't remember what channel, but it wasn't anything I had ever watched before.

[Lady Cop]

the only venue that MIGHT broadcast is TRU-TV (formerly Court TV). they suck ass, but you can google them and ask them to do it. i also know that a network has been following. so some year you could see on Dateline or 48 Hours.

JUDGE JAMES D. BATES
PARTY : D1 - PETTAWAY CAMEO

[Kip]

I believe it was CNN that broadcast the James Arthur Ray "sweat lodge" trial - but only online.

In the Casey Anthony trial, there were a couple of sites where the trial was broadcast online - I watched from a local TV station's site - I don't remember what the others were.

The Father Robinson case( still being appealed over & over) was IMO the biggest case ever here in Toledo. For those who don't know about it, it was a very old cold case from 1980's, catholic nun murdered in the chapel of Mercy Hospital.It had most interest here than ever before or since!!!!!! That trial whch was quite lenghty was broadcast (I think you would call it closed circuit) all day every day. When they had a break the camera would still be on a empty court room. I kind of hope that won't be the case with these trials. Many people that didn't work, (like me) didn't get anything done during that time. It's spring and I have things to do!

[Older Than Dirt]

Also, I'm not getting anything accomplished now!!!!!

I don't have any time for this The nun was brutally murdered & he thought he got away with it!

Very funny! spring cleaning comes around fast! don't forget to dust under the and you never know what might be behind the sofa

[koko]

Molested by the father defense? I think that one will slide. Mayb one of these guys can drum enough pimp money to pay off a juror?

Or, the meter reader did it?

Ha. Meter reader

According to Motion to suppress search of defendant, it states, "a cigarette butt found in the home where the bodies of the two individuals were found."

It doesn't state next to the bodies nor does it state "in the room where the bodies were found."

[Lady Cop]

the defendants were also NOT at the so-called party the night before. so where did the butt come from?
they claim not to even know J and L.

I don't see how either one of these two accused had time to smoke! I pray it was not used to torture them. If others are involved one of the 2 accused was a possible look out, near front door or window or garage even, whatever faces the street, they were so nervous! The next thing is how did they dispose of said stub? this is where they possibly slipped up! they smashed it with their foot and were so nervous and left it lay, or they could have put it in an empty beer bottle just not thinking. Most important is it was left behind in the home. The LE probably have the exact brand name that was smoked. IMO

[shitstorm]

I doubt they were nervous. Too stupid. That they would have a smoke after killing two people just shows how callous they are. "All in a day's work" - for psychopaths.

[NightOwl]

shitstorm, did you read Taylor Dungjen article 1/31/12 one year after the murders? she is Toledo Blade crime reporter it's on Mock's case links & facts only Page 6 and then scroll down and you'll find it. Kenyetta Baker, Cameo Pettaway's mother said he was a nail biter!! Upon re-reading this the two accused drifted apart somewhere, just like Johnny and his friend VD!

This taken from the article: Thomas Scott, of Toledo, Mr. Pettaway's cousin, said the man he knows is a "very good father" and that he feels "sick to my stomach" about the arrest.

He said after Mr. Williams arrest, Mr. Pettaway didn't want to talk about it and only said he "didn't believe it."

His cousin's worst attribute is "the people he hangs around with," Mr. Scott said.

"The people he hangs out with are unbelievable," he said. "Everybody in this family is standing behind him. Everybody believes him and everybody cares about him."

Taylor Dungjen's "Ride Along -- A Crime Blog" was named best newspaper blog. Taylor just won 1^st place Ohio Newspaper Award for 2011.
