Introduction On February 5, 1982, a fourteen-year-old U.S. Army dependent and his twin brother attended their usual Friday night sport of bowling at the Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, Automated Bowling Lanes. Derek and Dominic Kusumoto were the adopted sons of Lieutenant Colonel Howard Kusumoto, an eye-care specialist assigned to that U.S. Army Post.

He stepped outside of the bowling alley to smoke a marijuana cigarette with several of his own classmates at or around nine o’clock. The boys had a 9:30 p.m. curfew but Derek told Dominic to leave, and DominicRead More →

The Carydale East Apartment Complex on 2727 Duke Street is a highrise where rents are cheaper than elsewhere in Alexandria, Virginia. There live, for instance, singles, students, and those who cannot afford the usually expensive housings in and around Washington, D.C. In reviews, some alleged (ex-) residents say that there are no problems at all. Others complain about vermin, illicit drug activity, sexual harassment, not functioning or too slow elevators, etc. Even a police cruiser with a police-issued shotgun inside was stolen from the parking lot over night in December of 2012. Summary Alexander Cameron is the 9th of 12 children (10 boys and 2Read More →

Größere Kartenansicht Introduction On the morning of December 8, 1998 after leaving my ex-wife at my parents for a ride to work, I proceeded to SEARS AUTOMOTIVE CENTER in the woodlands, before travelling to Cavenders Boottown for some shopping. After leaving Cavenders I stopped at the carwash on Rayford/Sawdust Road, washing my truck before meeting Gail at the community college, who owed money for work I had done for her.

Desiree Ann Shaw was convicted of murdering her husband Eddie Royce Shaw, Sr. at their home on August 11, 1996. Analytical Synopsis of the Case Desiree Ann Shaw’s story deserves a serious look at her claims of actual innocence. Desiree presents clear and convincing evidence that was either not disclosed or not presented to the jury for various reasons beyond her control. New evidence discovered post-conviction and favorable evidence that was not presented at trial demonstrates that Desiree probably did not engage in the conduct for which she was convicted. In this situation, there was no conduct engaged in by Desiree that violated criminal laws.Read More →

“I was falsely convicted with a mistaken identification (one that can be proven), a dirty police investigator, a prosecutor after a conviction – not justice -, and with trial attornies that did nothing but play a role in a bogus trial. All my attornies would speak about before and during trial was the appeals. We had not even begun trial, and they were already speaking about appeals.” Introduction The night this crime occurred I was at my neighbors’ home. There was a boxing match with Oscar de la Joya, and myself along with my neighbors and their friends stayed to watch the fight. I wasRead More →

William Irvan’s letter to You William Irvan asks you to read his letter (pdf) before you proceed with his case. The only evidence linking Irvan to the then cold capital case of 1987 is the perjured testimony by a federal prisoner with four (4) life sentences, who lied in order to get her daughter’s incarcerated father moved closer to her family. Even family members of the false informant testified that she was not credible. There is no physical evidence that proves Irvan’s guilt and the suspected perpetrator’s DNA was not tested. It is not clear why the jury convicted Irvan, and why they sent himRead More →
