MILLERSBURG — After deliberating for three hours, a jury of four women and eight men found a Holmesville man guilty of making and possessing methamphetamine, all within the vicinity of juveniles and a school.
Matthew Umstead, 43, of 305 W. Jackson St., was found guilty in Holmes County Common Pleas Court of illegal manufacture of meth, illegal assembly of chemicals for the manufacture of meth, two counts of aggravated possession of drugs, two counts of child endangering, having weapons while under disability and tampering with evidence.
While finding Umstead guilty of all the charges, they found he was not guilty of specifications alleging he was in possession of a firearm while committing the drug offenses.
Umstead, who faces a lengthy prison term, several years of which are mandatory, is scheduled to be sentenced Monday morning by visiting Judge David E. Stucki.

24 interview with Umstead in the Holmes County Jail.
During the interview, Umstead, who repeatedly told Stryker the shed was unoccupied, said he did not know White and another man, Donnie Spurlock, were purchasing products to make meth when he drove them to pharmacies in Shreve and Wooster earlier on Nov. 23.
He also told Stryker he had no direct knowledge Spurlock, who emerged from the shed while deputies were on the property, was making meth in the shed; however, he said he'd herd rumors and knew Spurlock, who had been periodically staying in the shed for a couple of years, “dibbled and dabbled.”
Previously, in a plea deal with the state, Spurlock, 44, of 508 Massillon Road, Millersburg, pleaded guilty to a single count of illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of meth. In accepting the offer, which included the dismissal of several other charges, Spurlock agreed to a joint sentencing recommendation of five years in
The evidence presented to myself and the other juror’s proves that Tyrone Washburn is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the murder of his wife, Elena Washburn. On March 12, 1979 Elena Washburn was strangled in the living room of her family’s home. Her body was then dragged to the garage, leaving a trail of blood from the living room to the place it was found. Her husband, Tyrone Washburn, found her in the family’s garage on March 13, 1979 at 1:45 A.M. When officer Dale Chambers arrived at the scene he found her lying face down in a pool of blood. The solid evidence in this case proves only one person, Tyrone Washburn, is guilty of murder.

As it was found out later, the arrest was the result of the false report provided by the man who claimed that Lawrence possessed weapons at his home. The report was filed by the neighbor Roger David Nance (41 years old) and he has already been accused before for the similar complaints. The above cause to enter the house, however, was not considered to be the issue in the case hearing and Nance admitted that he provided false report.
...tistical data put forth that the phenomenon of using and manufacturing methamphetamine is rising in our country. The state of Kentucky, particularly the rural areas, is being taken over by the use and manufacturing of meth. This phenomenon is largely costing the tax payers, as well as, putting our future generation in jeopardy. This author feels it is important for the Kentucky Legislative to look at the numbers, the cost and proper treatment in order to deal with this large problem correctly. Passing one law to decrease the manufacturing by less than ten percent isn’t enough.
One being Johnny Everett Webb, a fellow inmate, with Cameron Willingham in Navarro County Jail. The second major factor was testimonies from investigators Vasquez and Frogg on what they believed happened that night. Prosecutors believe that Cameron willingly tried to murder his children by setting his home on fire. Cameron Willingham never changed his story and always seemed innocent. Willingham was found guilty on the grounds of the testimony that the forensic experts gave at court because of a former inmate who claimed that Willingham had admitted to being guilty for the death of his children....
Steve Harmon is guilty of felony murder because he participated and had knowledge about a crime that ended up in the death of an innocent citizen. The judge stated the if you believe that Steve harmon took part in the crime than you must return a verdict of guilty. I believe that Steve went into the drugstore on that day for the purpose of being a lookout. Some of Steve’s journal entry’s lead to him feeling guilty or like a “monster”.
Dowd was explicitly known to be a dirty cop among the officers in his precinct. He would often engage in malfeasant behaviors by stealing drugs and cash while investigating crime scenes and allowing criminals avoid being arrested through bribery. One example given in the film occurred when Dowd and his partner, Kenny Eurell, were called to investigate a suspected burglary. When they arrived, the only person home was a young girl who was worried that the burglars had taken her mother’s money that she had safely hidden away. After calling the girl’s mother to confirm the location of the cash, Dowd searched the hiding space and announced that the money had been stolen. However, the money was not stolen by burglars, rather, Dowd had taken advantage of his power as a cop to steal the cash during the

In July 2003, Sheriff’s Deputy Todd Shanks of Multnomah County Oregon was performing a routine traffic stop on a vehicle driven by William Barrett. During this stop, Shanks arrested Barrett because of an outstanding warrant and then searched the car. A pressure-cooker found in the trunk was believed to be used in the making of methamphetamine. Barrett informed Shanks that the owner of the pressure-cooker was “Gunner Crapser,” and that he could be found at the Econolodge Motel in a room registered to a woman named Summer Twilligear (FindLaw, 2007, Factual and Procedural Background section, para. 2). Deputy Shanks quickly learned that there was an outstanding warrant for a “Gunner Crapser” but to not confuse the wanted man, whose name was not actually “Gunner Crapser,” with someone else using this name.

Second, the search of Hicks home did not include a search warrant, and in Meyers case the police did have a search warrant. In Myers case, police had a lawful search warrant to search for drugs and drug paraphernalia. During that search police located a bloody rag, which was sent for testing. The results of this test revealed the blood belonged to a murder victim, implicating Myers for suspicion of murder. Although the police did have a search warrant, the warrant only listed drugs, and paraphernalia.
The Supreme Court used this evidence, and the fact that the pants and the blood had been transported to the crime lab in the same box, and that a vial and a quarter of autopsy blood were missing, to rule that, if known by the jury, could have created reasonable doubt (House V. Bell, 2006). This, along with the evidence, presented by House, that Mr. Muncey had a history of spousal abuse against Mrs. Muncey, and the fact that he had fabricated an alibi to cover his whereabouts for the time of the murder, could have created a reasonable doubt in the minds of the jury, had it been presented at trial (House v. Bell, 2006). It was with these facts in mind that the Supreme Court reached a final ruling in this case. The Court’s final ruling was that while House had not presented sufficient evidence to exonerate himself completely, he did present enough evidence to create the question of his actual guilt, and warranted a new trial (House v. Bell, 2006).

A couple days later he woke up in a hospital in extreme pain, and when he looked in a mirror he didn’t have toes, fingers, or, hair. After a couple days he was told how they had come to where he had called them and how they caught him when he was cutting you up and they barely saved his life.
