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

[JsMom]

Oh sooo jealous!

[FAHQTOO]

Give it up, JsMom.

Clearly you're just jealous of Maytee's wit, sophisticated husband, and most of all...........her shower curtain (and who isn't, really?)!



Big daddy -- he's a clean, mean, huntin' machine...

ICK!!!

I do love the shower curtain though.

[ramseycat]

Wow. He's classy.

[Duchess]

She says Johnny is a hero, that he gave his life for Lisa.

She's lying. I'm almost certain there was testimony stating she had kicked Johnny & Lisa out of her house.

Why would she want to file a missing persons report on someone who simply wasn't answering the phone?

JOHNNY S CLARKE MY HERO YOU GAVE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE ( YOUR LIFE TO SAVE THAT GF OF YOURS) WHEN YOU HAD NO BUSINESS BEING THERE PERIOD!!!! Neither one of you should've been there. I love you my hero and yes we are out here fighting everyday getting justice for you both! I wish you would've listened and not went there. I miss you MY HERO MY INNOCENT BABYBOY

[crash]

Apart from the fact that she's window licking crazy, more than likely some psychosis from her drug history, I think she has a raging case of the guilts. Hence all the incessant babbling about 'fighting' for him. She knows she never did whilst he was living, so she is trying to make amends in his death.

[crash]

She got a burr in her gusset for you this morning, Js..

Catch 22. I kinda think she's a fucking whackjob, but she makes some valid points..

[JsMom]

Yah, I seen. I refuse to respond to her nonsense.

[Duchess]

I didn't see. Is it on a different page than the one I'm familiar with?

[crash]

I found two. One is Justice for Johny and Lisa, the other is Justice for Johnny Clarke and Lisa Straub. I was referring to the latter.

[JsMom]

No, its on the same page.

[Duchess]

She says she doesn't just ride the crazy train, she drives it.

[ramseycat]

Truer words.... Hahaha

[JsMom]

Maytee is having a field day on TW She posted a link to TWs escort ad.

[Duchess]

If I were any of those young people that she drags through the mud on a daily basis I would be contacting an attorney to see if there were any recourse to this nonsense. Can't complaints be made to FB?

[JsMom]

Yes, you can report things on fb but from what I saw TW is really an escort. If I could repost, I would.

I got an email saying Sam Williams has an appeal hearing tomorrow and that I should check out the court documents.

[JsMom]

Interesting...

[JsMom]

I got an email saying Sam Williams has an appeal hearing tomorrow and that I should check out the court documents.

I'm curious as to what happened in court.

[Duchess]

Sam's attorney is claiming there was insufficient evidence to convict him.

Nearly two years after Samuel Williams was sentenced to life in prison for the brutal slayings of a young couple in Springfield Township, an attorney handling his appeal argued Wednesday that there simply was not sufficient evidence to convict him.

George Conklin asked the Ohio 6^th District Court of Appeals to examine the evidence that was — or was not — presented at Williams’ 2012 trial to prove his involvement beyond a reasonable doubt.

“I challenge you, and I challenge the state, to tell this court specifically how this individual aided and abetted,” Mr. Conklin said. “Mere presence is not sufficient for conviction.”

Williams, now 26, was convicted of two counts of aggravated murder, two counts of kidnapping, and one count of aggravated burglary for the Jan. 30, 2011 asphyxiation deaths of Lisa Straub, 20, and Johnny Clarke, 21.

The two were found at the home of Ms. Straub’s parents with their hands bound behind their backs and plastic bags secured around their necks with duct tape. Clarke’s ankles also were bound with duct tape.

A cigarette butt found just inside the door leading to the Straubs’ attached garage was found to contain a mixture of DNA from Williams and co-defendant Cameo Pettaway. Their DNA was not on the duct tape used to bind the victims though.

Mr. Conklin focused on the lack of sufficient evidence during oral arguments before Judges Thomas Osowik, Stephen Yarbrough, and James Jensen.

He cited the testimony of Eric Yingling, a fellow inmate at the Lucas County jail who testified that Williams told him he was at the scene.

“What did he say that Samuel Todd Williams did?” Mr. Conklin asked. “Did he drive the getaway car? Did he provide duct tape? Did he provide plastic bags? What did Yingling say? Nothing. He never specifically identified this particular individual as doing anything.”

Evy Jarrett, an assistant Lucas County prosecutor who argued the state’s case, pointed out that the cigarette butt with Williams’ DNA was found inside the Straub home and Yingling testified that Williams told him he had to break down Ms. Straub’s locked bedroom door and bring her downstairs.
