“Delaware County Prosecutor Believes Evidence Is Overrated ​

by Ricardo Paye​

Delaware County Prosecutor Melissa Schiffel is defending her decision to try a man for murder despite not having any evidence he committed the crime or that a murder even took place.

The prosecutor’s statements come a week after a jury found Matheau Moore not guilty in Delaware County Common Pleas Court. The Westerville man was charged with killing his wife, Emily Noble, and staging her death to look like a suicide. Noble was reported missing in May 2020. Her body was found hanging from a tree in a wooded area near her home later that September.

“A lot of people wanted this to be murder, myself included. When enough people said it must have been murder, I started to agree. I love a good murder,” Schiffel said. “The murder narrative sounds better than suicide, and the narrative is more important than the evidence. Evidence is overrated.”

Schiffel`s plan to advance her political career by railroading an innocent man was thwarted when Moore hired skilled defense counsel.

Defense attorney Diane Menashe shredded the state’s purely speculative case, going so far as to accuse the prosecution of preying upon an unsophisticated man who lacked the means to defend himself.

“The prosecution had no case; they knew they had no case,” said Menashe. “But they had the confidence to try it anyways because they figured Mr. Moore was too weak to put up much of a fight. Thankfully they were wrong. But it makes you wonder: how many people haven’t been as lucky here in Delaware County? How many innocent people are in prison or have had their lives destroyed because of prosecutors like Melissa Schiffel and Mark Sleeper?”

Mark Sleeper was the assistant prosecutor on the case. Before trial, he was caught on a hot mic asking Schiffel if they should proceed even though Moore was likely innocent. Schiffel replied, “Mark, just do your job and fry this guy. Our reputation as God’s justice is at stake.”

Schiffel says she has no plans to deviate from her “What’s Truth?” prosecutorial strategy despite being embarrassed on national television.

“This case doesn’t change anything,” Schiffel said. “Give me another Polaris shooting, and people will forget what I did to Mr. Moore. Looking tough on crime is all I need to get re-elected.”

satire, I agree!

Having just finished viewing the entire trial compliments of Law and Crime, the irony here is that one can actually imagine Prosecutor Schiffel thinking the satire! MOO

That's exactly why I got hooked the moment I bumped into it!
Because the article itself and the statements involved are mirroring exactly what was going on from the day 1!
I was just... confused... and shocked about their ''braveness'' to actually admit everything...
Lol

Not just Ohio. "Rogue" prosecutors are an issue everywhere IMO.

Speaking of rogue prosecutors and rogue detectives and rogue "expert witnesses", below is a news story about the recent release of Herman Williams, an innocent man who was incarcerated for almost 30 years as a result of prosecutorial misconduct. Very discouraging.

"In 1994, Herman Williams, now 58, was convicted by an Illinois court for the murder of his ex-wife. Last week, Williams’ conviction was vacated by agreement of the Lake County state’s attorney’s office, which dismissed all charges against him.

According to the Illinois Innocence Project, which worked to overturn Williams’ conviction, the Lake County state’s attorney’s office acknowledged that Williams’ conviction “was based on scientifically unsupported forensic pathology testimony regarding the victim’s time of death, that the prosecution hid favorable evidence at his original trial, and that the detective who claimed Mr. Williams confessed is now known to have engaged in a pattern of misconduct, including securing false confessions and claiming suspects made admissions of guilt in other innocence cases.”

These are the suicides/deaths in Emily's life that we learned about in the trial
2011 - her husband Mark, suicide
2012 - a good female friend, suicide
2015 - her dad dies after a fall
2016 - her mom, car accident
2017 - her husband's brother, suicide
2019 - Joey, Matt's son, suicide

Also, her MIL & FIL (Mark's parents), suicide - Menashe didn't mention the dates.

I read somewhere a while back that the risk of suicide runs in some families (Found this again.. Four percent “of genes in the genome have current evidence associated with suicide risk,” according to the study, which identified the variants as APH1B, AGBL2, SP110 and SUCLA2. Their presence is “noticeably associated with suicide risk)

There's been suicides in my family, and others with multiple attempts. There's a lot of trauma, but makes me wonder if my family has one of the genes. Makes sense why it "runs in families" after learning this.

Has anyone listened to Joseph Scott Morgan's podcast episode on this case? If so, I'm curious what are your thoughts on his take of the case. TIA

I can't find that...

His podcast is called "Body Bags." Joseph Scott Morgan frequently appears on Nancy Grace's Crime Stories.

If you go to "Body Bags," Joseph Scott Morgan's podcast, it's the episode that aired July 13 of 2022.

Do you have a link to the research? That's fascinating, and I'd love the opportunity to read more. TIA

Do you know when her MIL and FIL passed? Wow, that's so much loss.

Yup, I know it`s Body Bags, but can`t find it connected to Moore`s name...
The last time I saw him he was guest at DutyRon`s channel (I think it was about Kiely...?) Edit: I think it was actually at L&C, about Watts case, sorry

I can't remember. I know Emily's sister was asked about it during cross. I have in my mind it was after their second son died, but I'm not 100% on that.

As I can recole, Menashe told her about both of them and she was a little confused and said something like: I don't think they both died..?

It's crazy how this trial is showing how many lies were told to the public by LE, the podcast and other media. From LE saying they searched that area 3 times to people on the podcast saying he made her take down her nature photos, she supported him and on and on.

If you go to "Body Bags," Joseph Scott Morgan's podcast, it's the episode that aired July 13 of 2022.

In fairness to the podcaster Morgan and his July 2022 podcast, it seems to me his program/guests were not afforded the actual facts presented/known at the trial beginning with some of the most elementary here including the victim using a 20-foot cable to strangle herself from an Amur Honeysuckle, and NOT a tree.

The minute I heard the podcast state USB cords generally do not exceed 10 ft, I passed on this podcast -- i.e., EN did not use her phone charger to hang herself!

I could be wrong but I think when MM searched Eric Gordon Pedersen on May 20, 2020, it was because of his Sept 2018 arrest in LV for stabbing a woman in a gas/grocer parking lot.

Menashe provided EGP's surname was the same as MM's former spouse but short of identifying EGP as the son of his former spouse.

ETA: EGP is not deceased, he's in High Desert State Prison

Hmm... I don`t think so, that that was the case. In my opinion, they both just got confused for a moment, but continued on ...

No, you certainly won't find the podcast "Body Bags" linked to the defendant's name but it's directly linked to both the creator, Joseph Scott Morgan, and the victim, Emily Noble with a simple google search.
