I have a couple questions.
but first, very glad to have this community. thanks for having me. my computer lagged a bit yesterday when creating the account...so my username should be impunity...but never mind that...it's impugnity now!
i have a case that has been solved and put aside...at least put aside by the police...but not us...the FAMILY.
how do i go about posting the story on here? perhaps getting/gaining insight and help from members.
and should i post the story here?
it's not national or even really local news anymore...it's been 9 months...but it's been 9 months and no report or autopsy or anything back to us.
the gist of the case....my brother was a defense lawyer ..defending a man accused of molesting a 5 year old girl...the family accusing this man were aggressive and harassed both my brother and the client and client's family and even harassed my brother at his home. it was believed by all involved in the case and the town..that the mother is prone to drama...she herself was molested by her grandfather...my brother and even a sheriff he interviewed and was going to subpoena and a psychologist that interviewed the girl...believed her story to be "coached"
the harassment and bullying tactics by the family meant that my bro lost witnesses...as he worked the case and explained to people in the town of 6,000 that if you are to be a witness means you expose yourself to the family and that they'll most likely berate you as they have shown to do in the past....he was losing the case because he couldn't get people to testify...they were flat out scared of the mom and the dad...the dad at one point in the case had threatened a judge...the dad had fired a pistol in their residence...
anyways.
my brother was found dead in his hotel room. exit bag strategy...an apparent suicide
case closed and never solved in my eyes. no one interviewed...no finger prints. no lividity test. they wrapped this up so quick we had to force their hand for an autopsy....they were set to cremate him immediately.
what little we have w/ working w/ the DCI ...well it all contradicts his story
at best...we have sloppy police work and a cover up...we do know that the family was close to those in the law and legal of that town.
i have lengthy affidavits documenting the harassment my bro and his client endured...they also document the level of paranoia he had
it's no small thing to start digging around in other's lives and start accusing them of sloppy work...accusing others (the family) for the murder of my brother.
but we also have evidence to support our claims and case and he never got a fair shake...any way you look at it. and oddly enough...people from this town and from around this area keep telling us to not trust the coroner or the police there....which is funny because it sounds as if they have some history. ftr, my brother walked into that town and ruffled a lot of feathers....including the sheriff who called him a little f#$#ing prick.
i'm all ears and i'm open to all suggestions as to where to start w/ this....i can provide a detailed letter we've drafted that outlines the case. i can provide affidavits.
at this point. i just thank you for your time. i need to start somewhere.
