NEWPORT, Tenn. — Lisa Maxwell paced the dark brown carpet inside the living room of her mother's home.

Then she moved to the bedroom. Then outside.

She couldn't sit still.

"Calm down," her mother said.

But Maxwell couldn't. She was anxious for a sheriff's investigator to arrive with the latest news in her daughter's April 2009 unsolved homicide.

The word finally came this week.

"I'm on cloud nine," Lisa Maxwell said Wednesday after Sheriff Armando Fontes announced a Cocke County grand jury had indicted Jeffrey Lee Stock, a convicted sex-offender, on charges that include the first-degree murder and rape of 19-year-old Megan Maxwell. "It feels like a mountain off my shoulders."

Stock, 43, was indicted Monday and also charged with theft of property over $1,000 and arson in the burning of Megan Maxwell's car, found along Highway 25/70 the day she disappeared. Also, Stock's father, Terry A. Stock, 64, was indicted on a charge of being an accessory after the fact.

Authorities are not releasing how Megan Maxwell died or what pointed them to the Stocks.

"It's been a long time coming and it's finally here," said Megan's sister, Stephanie Maxwell, 18, who also attended the press conference. "I kinda just lost faith for a little bit, worrying that it would just fade away."

Stock, of Del Rio, had been a person of interest since Megan Maxwell's disappearance.

After she vanished, Stock was charged with failing to register as a sex offender. He'd moved to Tennessee from Indiana. He is serving a 72-month prison sentence for that charge at a federal prison in Tuscon, Ariz.

He will be extradited to Cocke County.

His father was arrested Tuesday in Flat Rock, Ind., and is being held without bond pending extradition.

Alfonso Rodriguez's appeal in Dru Sjodin murder claims insanity

10/26/2011

The new appeal by Alfonso Rodriguez Jr. of his death sentence in the 2003 kidnapping and killing of University of North Dakota student Dru Sjodin reveals details about Rodriguez's version of the crime that have not been made public before.

It also includes a strange and new account, claiming Rodriguez confused Sjodin with a college girl he says sexually abused him in 1959.

The habeas corpus motion filed last week in federal court in Fargo by Rodriguez's new defense team is considered the last-resort appeal after his direct appeals were turned down a year ago by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Arrested Dec. 1, 2003, in his hometown of Crookston - only days after Sjodin disappeared from a Grand Forks, N.D., parking lot while talking on her cellphone to her boyfriend - Rodriguez has been in jail since. Despite massive searches involving thousands of volunteers, the Pequot Lakes, Minn., native's body wasn't found until April 2004, in a grassy ravine less than a mile from Crookston.

A federal jury in Fargo, N.D., convicted him and determined his sentence should be death in September 2006. Rodriguez, 58, remains on death row in Terre Haute, Ind.

Joseph Margulies, the Chicago law professor and attorney appointed to defend Rodriguez, filed the 298-page habeas corpus motion a week ago.

Margulies argues that a key prosecution witness falsely testified that forensic evidence proved Alfonso Rodriguez raped Sjodin and then slashed her throat with a knife. Rather, Margulies says, Rodriguez had no clear intent to kill Sjodin.
He also argues Rodriguez is mentally disabled and was insane at the time of the crime, making him ineligible for the federal death penalty.

The habeas corpus motion for "collateral relief" asks the same U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson to set aside or vacate Rodriguez's sentence and give him a new trial.

The motion, if denied, can be appealed to the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and to the Supreme Court.

A NEW DEFENDER

The new appeal attacks Rodriguez's former defense team, Richard Ney of Wichita, Kan., and Robert Hoy of West Fargo, N.D., for failing to pursue evidence and arguments that would have spared him the death penalty.

And it calls the work and testimony of Ramsey County Medical Examiner Dr. Michael McGee, "junk science and false forensics."

"According to the prosecution, Mr. Rodriguez abducted Dru Sjodin, raped her, drove her to a remote field in Crookston, slashed her throat and left her to bleed to death on the frozen ground," Margulies writes, accurately summing up the argument of the chief prosecutor, then-U.S. Attorney Drew Wrigley, who now is North Dakota's lieutenant governor.

"For his part, Mr. Rodriguez was depicted as little better than an animal, uncaring and unworthy," Margulies wrote. "We now know this carefully scripted talk conceals much and reveals little. Little about the government's case and even less about Alfonso Rodriguez, was true."

Wrigley, like Ney and Hoy, declined to comment on the new appeal.

LOW IQ, ABUSE CLAIMS

The defense should have done a better job showing the jury how intellectually impaired Rodriguez had been his whole life: failing first grade twice, having his IQ tested at 74 to 77 several times in elementary school, not making ninth grade until he was 18, Margulies says.

"Alfonso Rodriguez is mentally retarded," Margulies says, citing "evidence that could have been uncovered by the trial team and would have been, but for their ineffectiveness. And were there no more to learn about Mr. Rodriguez than the fact that he is retarded, that would be enough. Because the law accepts what no civilized society should question: We do not kill the mentally retarded."

He also was insane, Margulies argues at another point.

Citing a psychiatrist, Pablo Stewart, who interviewed Rodriguez, Margulies' document includes Rodriguez's account of his kidnapping of Sjodin in words not made public before.

Rodriguez said nothing about the crime from the day he was arrested until he was sentenced, including refusing his sister's appeals to tell investigators where he left Sjodin's body.

Margulies says Rodriguez was insane at the time he kidnapped Sjodin and "unable to appreciate the wrongfulness of his actions."

Rodriguez confused Sjodin with the college girl he claims had sexually abused him when he was 6 years old at a church camp, an account corroborated by his sister, Margulies says.

The girl wore "a college jersey" and was 19, Rodriguez told Stewart during the interview.

In speaking to Stewart, Rodriguez also said he approached Sjodin after she was already sitting in her car in the Columbia Mall parking lot, a detail that never was made clear during the trial.

It also reveals that he did stalk her, to a degree, inside the mall that day.

"During my clinical interview, Alfonso described his encounter with Dru Sjodin," Stewart recounts. "He reported that he could not stop staring at her and immediately experienced a flood of emotions and physiological reactions. He described feeling fear followed by anger, and then panic. He began to dissociate, re-experiencing the abuse of his childhood. He described confused and chaotic thinking.

"At one level, he realized that the woman who abused him would have had to be much older than the young woman he saw at the mall. But he could not convince himself and could not act on that reality.

"As Alfonso approached, she looked up at him and although he had been telling himself that it couldn't be his abuser, he described feeling shock and a physical reaction of surprise when he realized that she was not the same woman who abused him. He was, by this point, in a full-blown dissociative state."

That state of temporary insanity continued during his attack on Sjodin, the psychiatrist says, according to the court document.

"Seeing a woman that resembled his abuser was a cue that triggered Alfonso's PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) symptoms. ... He described going in and out of a dissociative state over the course of the crime. ... He had very powerful feelings that this actually was the woman who had abused him and he re-experienced the fear and anger and confusion and anxiety of that original trauma.

'HE COULD NOT STOP'

Combined with his mental retardation and PTSD, Rodriguez was in a state "where he could not stop himself," Dr. Stewart wrote in his report.

Rodriguez "never intended to take her life," Stewart said, in an account never heard at trial.

"At one point, when he was driving around town with her in the car, she began to struggle and bang on the windows. He tried to subdue her, struggled with her and eventually hit her, knocking her out and drawing blood. Once she was bleeding from the face and unconscious, he put a plastic bag over her head to contain the blood and he tied it with a string. ..."

Margulies argues that if Rodriguez's defense team of Ney and Hoy had "presented this evidence, no reasonable jury would have concluded that Mr. Rodriguez had been of sound mind at the time of the offense, and that it's likely Rodriguez now would be in a secure federal hospital rather than on death row."

Prosecutors did present evidence that a knife found in his car trunk had traces of blood linked to Sjodin, the investigation found.

FAMILY HISTORY

Other tidbits from the appeal include that Margulies says Rodriguez's family has a history of Alzheimer's and that he shows signs of the disease, "often repeating words over and over."

The family members also have depression and diabetes, and Rodriguez was diagnosed with diabetes in Terre Haute in 2009.

Rodriguez was sentenced in 1980 for his knife attack - and attempted abduction - of a Crookston woman. Together with his remaining sentence for his sexual assaults in the mid-1970s on two Crookston women, he would serve 23 years in state prison.

In 1993, when his father died in Crookston, Rodriguez was allowed to go to the wake, accompanied by a prison guard, Margulies writes.

In May 2003, he was released from prison with no restrictions and returned to Crookston to live with his mother. After a few months, he got a job installing drywall.

In another anecdote not known previously, less than a month before his abduction of Sjodin, Rodriguez returned with family members to his hometown of Laredo, Texas, for the funeral of an uncle.

During the two-week trip, Rodriguez seemed to get more depressed and isolated, acting strangely, his family told Margulies. Less than three weeks after returning, Rodriguez drove his mother's car into Grand Forks, shopped at Target, went to Columbia Mall, spotted Sjodin and followed her to her car.

July 2007, Joshua Komisarjevsky and and Steven Hayes invaded a home in Cheshire; beat and tied up Dr. William Petit; raped and strangled his wife, Jennifer Hawke-Petit; molested one of their daughters; and set the family's house on fire before attempting to flee.

The two daughters -- 17-year-old Hayley Petit and 11-year-old Michaela Petit, both of whom had been tied to their beds -- died of smoke inhalation. Petit escaped to a neighbor's home.

Hayes was convicted in Dec. 2010, and sentenced to death, Komisarjevsky, convicted Oct. 12,2011, most likely will also get the death penalty.

Death-row inmate wants court disqualified
Published: May 23, 2011



PHOENIX, May 23 (UPI) -- A death-row inmate in Arizona says his scheduled Wednesday execution should be halted and the state Supreme Court disqualified from his case.

Donald Beaty, 56, sentenced to death by lethal injection for the 1984 murder of a 13-year-old newspaper carrier in Tempe, said the Supreme Court should be disqualified because of a death-row tour by the justices, who also met with the Arizona Department of Corrections director to discuss execution schedules and methods while they were considering his case, The Arizona Republic reported Sunday.

Beaty said several of the justices had participated in a tour of his cell block on May 11 after meetings with Charles Ryan, the corrections director.

A motion filed Sunday by U.S. Assistant Public Defender Sarah Stone characterized the meetings as ex parte communications --meetings with a judge by parties from only one side of a case without the knowledge of the other side.

Judicial rules forbid such communications.

Representatives for the Arizona Supreme Court and the Department of Corrections declined comment because the matter is before the court, but Assistant Arizona Attorney General Kent Cattani termed the accusations of ex parte meetings "simply inaccurate," the Republic reported.

Four suspects in Lansing drug-related killing could face federal death penalty
Published: Thursday, April 07, 2011

Lansing woman.

U.S. Attorney Donald Davis said today that the defendants, Mustafa Abdul-Qadir Al-Din, 23, Walee Abdulazeem Al-Din, 21, Demetris Martel Kline, 18, and Dion Marchell Lanier, 19, have been indicted in the killing of Shayla Johnson, 19, during a robbery.

The four originally faced state charges in Ingham County Circuit Court. The state changes have been dismissed this week so that the case can be handled at the federal level.

Ingham County Proseutor Stuart Dunnings III told the Lansing State Journal that he approached federal officials late last year.

The suspects are accused of conspiring to obtain marijuana by robbery and then sell it. An indictment says the suspects used a firearm in relation to a drug-trafficking crime by shooting and killing Johnson during the robbery at 619 Lenore Street in Lansing.

The indictment says the suspects are members of a violent street gang known as the "Block Burners."

One of them called to the residence before the killing to find out how many people were there, authorities said.

The suspects are scheduled for detention hearings and arraignments on Monday before U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker.

If convicted of the homicide charges, the defendants could face the death penalty or life in prison.
