Wrongful Convictions -- Stealing Lives One Person at a Time

[Imysbimyssbbycim limysb]

People need to stop feeling sorry for Lance Briggs and his mother Kathy Briggs, They did not work day and night for Kelsey Smith, except working to tear apart Kelsey's home,,,,,,and instigate a mob to destroy justice for Kelsey by not bringing her killer to trial, but ENABLING her killer to plea bargain out of his molest and murder charges,

also.
(1) the State failed to prove
beyond a reasonable doubt
that she knew that her boyfriend
was beating her daughter!

(2) the State deprived
her of a fair trial when, during closing arguments, it vouched for the credibility of
one of its witnesses and misstated the law on accountability?

(3) the trial court erred in giving
nonpattern jury instructions on accountability!

(4) the trial court erred in admitting evidence of
the defendant's prior bad acts; and

(5) the truth-in-sentencing law is unconstitutional. We modify
the defendant's sentence to allow her to receive day-for-day good time credit and in all other
respects affirm the judgment of the circuit court.

raye dawn was convicted because of her lying inLaws were already in the middle of a custody battle that just carried over to the murder trial with all the lies that come with custody suits, from men who refuse to pay child support to the women he recklessly get pregnant,...
kelsey loved her mommy because she was wonderful,
she did not feel the same way about Kathy Briggs, or her bio dad, deservedly so. and if she found out how they lied and put her wonderful mommy in prison she would have a heart attack

this seems to be the new rave, to send women to the lions den,,,I've seen premeditated murderers get only a fraction of this woman's sentence,
Oklahoma judge sentences woman to 35 years in prison for role in child abuse
The judge considered sentencing Solis to probation, but changed her mind after considering court transcripts and an interview in which her 6-year-old son told detectives his mother watched as Gabriel Solis punched the 1-year-old repeatedly.
Elsa Solis testified Friday that she didn't recall ever seeing her then-husband abuse the boy.

“You called your son a liar,” Truong said.“You don't deserve to be a mother.”

Man's court date set

Gabriel Solis, 31, of Del City, also appeared before Truong on Friday and attempted to withdraw the Alford plea he entered in September for a child abuse charge.

Under an Alford plea, a defendant accepts a sentence for a crime while still asserting innocence. The former Tinker Air Force Base airman admitted in court papers that sufficient evidence exists for a jury to convict him.

When Truong asked Gabriel Solis whether he was attempting to withdraw his plea because he was told the length of his ex-wife's sentence, he said “no.”

The judge then asked defense attorney Jason Lowe whether he told Gabriel Solis about the woman's sentence. The attorney said “yes.”

Lowe withdrew as his attorney, citing a conflict of interest. The judge will appoint a public defender to represent Gabriel Solis and set a Dec. 7 court date to consider the motion to withdraw his plea.

Gabriel Solis, who was fired in September by the Air Force, faces up to life in prison if Truong rejects the motion and decides to sentence him.

The couple were arrested in October 2010 after doctors found significant injuries to the child, whose mother was deployed in Saudi Arabia.

It is storming This Christmas day,,,,,,,Not a time to be on the road visiting family....Chicago Tribune News wrote;
wrongfully convicted can be more daunting for women for a number of reasons, she said. For one, compared with male defendants, crimes for which women are accused more often lack DNA evidence — meaning DNA cannot be used to exonerate them.

"I think the whole DNA revolution leaves women behind because their cases tend to not be those type of cases," Daniel said. "If you don't have it in your case, it can be harder to defend."

In more than 60 percent of cases where women were exonerated, no crime actually occurred, according to statistics provided by the center. Research has shown that women are often convicted in cases where accidental or natural deaths and even deaths resulting from medical disorders were mistaken for murders, organizers said. In many cases, they said, women accused of harming their children or other loved ones are often convicted on largely circumstantial evidence.

For example, Patricia Stallings was convicted in 1991 of murdering her son, who was taken to a Missouri hospital with high levels of ethylene glycol — a key ingredient of antifreeze — in his blood. She was set free when tests confirmed he died of a genetic disorder that produces false positives for ethylene glycol.

In another case involving a woman accused of killing her child, Chicago mother Nicole Harris was convicted in Cook County in the 2005 death of her son, which had been deemed an accident by the medical examiner. A federal appeals court last month vacated her conviction; prosecutors are appealing.

Experts agree that cases involving the death of a child are among the most difficult to defend. Women in particular have to combat what Daniel calls "the mother myth," the notion that mothers should be able to walk through a wall of fire to save their children.

It's a perception Daniel said played out in the case of Tabitha Pollock, who was convicted of first-degree murder on the theory that she should have known that her boyfriend, who had confessed to killing her daughter, was dangerous. The Illinois Supreme Court reversed Pollock's conviction in 2002.

...
The United States experienced economic disruptions in 2001 and in the recession of 1990. However, they did not produce huge waves of violence, either in child abuse or domestic violence, Gelles said. Anomic suicide "is not suicide because you've lost all your money but suicide because the rules of the game have changed — because what you thought would be true about your life and your family and your 401(k) and the loyalty of your company has suddenly been disrupted," he said. Gelles suggested that this difficult disruption mixed with an "overenmeshment" in one's family could underlie these familicides.

Overenmeshment is a condition in which perpetrators either view "their family members as possessions that they control or [they] don't see any boundaries between their identity, their wife and their children. And so these are suicides of the entire family, where the anomic, overly enmeshed individual can't bear to leave the pain behind and so takes his wife and children with him," he said.

If the familicide cases signal a more general increase in domestic violence, one result could be a dramatic increase in child abuse and a subsequent burden on the foster care system, Gelles said.

The discussion also touched on new concerns, such as how abusers use threats to intimidate. The panelists focused on the point of separation as a vulnerable period.

Like her trial, so many of the posts are inflammatory, libelous,
& are certainly of the same person making awful remarks regarding this person named Raye Dawn Smith, kelsey beloved mommy.

I can only have pity for this woman of which someone has deep-seated psychological hatred for.

DO NOT for one second think I would have any desire to be used for your own gain, against this poor woman of which you have a personal vendetta against.

In simple English, Y'ALL ARE NUTS !! & you have no business posting on ANY website.

may God forgive you and let you live in his peaceful paradise where people let God decide who is really loving their neighbor as themselves. sweet dreams in this time of the end, with it's violence, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, tidal waves, floods, food shortages, corruption, lies, stealing, random murders,
may God help us all. and with a quickness

I love forensics, when the truth comes out, too bad there were no DNA tests done on Kelsey when she died, but when she came to the hospital a nurse checked her out and she only had three small dime size bruises, she was found to have died from damage to one of her internal organs, pancreas maybe?

photos of kelsey were taken after livor moris set in and shown to the court as proof of injuries, but when she arrived at the hospital she only had three dime size bruises,...
Livor mortis (Latin: livor—"bluish color," mortis—"of death"),

postmortem lividity (Latin: postmortem—"after death", lividity—"black and blue"), hypostasis

(Greek: hupo, meaning "under, beneath"; stasis, meaning "a standing"[1][2])

or suggillation, is one of the signs of death. Livor mortis is a settling of the blood in the lower (dependent) portion of the body,

causing a purplish red discoloration of the skin:

when the heart is no longer agitating the blood, heavy red blood cells sink through the serum by action of gravity.

Intensity of color depends upon the amount of reduced hemoglobin in the blood.

This discoloration does not occur in the areas of the body that are in contact with the ground or another object, as the capillaries are compressed.

As the vessel wall become permeable due to decomposition, blood leaks through them and stains the tissue.

This is the reason for fixation of hypostasis.
Livor mortis in a corpse.

Coroners can use the presence or absence of livor mortis as a means of determining an Approximate Time of Death.

The presence of livor mortis is an indication of when it would be futile to begin CPR, or when it is ineffective to continue if it is in progress.

It can also be used by forensic investigators to determine whether or not a body has been moved (for instance,

if the body is found lying face down but the pooling is present on the deceased's back, investigators can determine that the body was originally positioned face up).

Livor mortis starts twenty minutes to three hours after death and is congealed in the capillaries in four to five hours.

Maximum lividity occurs within 6–12 hours.

The blood pools into the interstitial tissues of the body.

That phrase alone tends to undermine whatever credibility you were trying to convince us you still had.
And, yes, when I ask about global statistics, that does tend to suggest that I mean places other than the U.S.

Also, I'd prefer it if you'd try and offer real numbers
as opposed to fabrication
cooked up to support your agenda..[Michael Allred]

Raye is NOT innocent! She is the one that had the excuses for Kelsey's injuries.
You want to blame the Briggs. Where are they wrong? They said Kelsey was being abused. Did they lie? NO! Raye did.
