The Fake Trial of Earl Bramblett in Virginia in the Autumn of 1994

Barry Keesee has all the answers when it comes to framing a person for a crime he believes they commit. He is an Investigator for the Virginia State Police, an outfit that has a history of personnel that don't mind flaunting the law if it serves the purpose of a conviction. These investigator's imagination run wild and soon anything they believe becomes fact. The investigation I'm most engrossed in is the murder of Earl Bramblett by the investigation, if one could call it that, by Barry Keesee. This previous crime, the murders of the Hodges family, took place in the autumn of 1994. But a different "investigation" by Virginia State Police Investigator Dave Riley in the investigation of Beverly Monroe in Powhatan County Virginia has like stretches of the imagination to frame and try her for murder. That trial is set out in the John Taylor narrative nonfiction book "The Count and the Confession."
As in both cases there is a prosecutor, called a Commonwealth Attorney in Virginia, that is over enthusiastic and politically motivated. In Roanoke County Virginia it was F.W.(Skip) Burkart and in Powhatan County Virginia John Latane Lewis III. They believe investigators at face value and leave detail of the investigation up to them. At trial, these prosecutors then make up anything they need to make the evidence, or lack thereof, match the crime.
Because this is about the Hodges murders and the subsequent trial and execution of Earl Bramblett, I will leave the Beverly Monroe trial and focus on Bramblett's.
There was no forensic proof in the Bramblett trial unless you want to compare bucket wire handles as forensics. They spent hours and hours determining these buckets were brought to the victim's home by Bramblett. A charge he admitted for the reason that he was painting their home and used them for that reason. This is the "evidence" the late Virginia Supreme Court Chief Justice Christian Compton praised as it being a investigation about forensics. This foolish old fool wouldn't know forensics from an outhouse. But I go off the point. A policeman at the time the Hodges were slaughtered, Mike Stovall, testified in trial that the lights where an old woman saw a truck were the old dusk-to-dawn lights. He, and his fellow officers, prepared a speculative video of the truck passing the woman where she said. But the illumination at that time had been upgraded to the Two-hundred watt high sodium lights that give off an orange glow. If Bramblett's lawyers, Mac Doubles and Terry Grimes, had objected to using the video it could have been brought up again and looked at for what it was worth in an appeal. But these two incompetents were frightened of talking in front of a jury and therefore that prospect of the recording being seen as false was gone forever, as far as the courts were concerned. Roy Willett was the trial judge and he sat and listened while Bramblett was railroaded to the electric chair. He is just as responsible of murdering Bramblett as whomever killed the Hodges.
Let me speak a little about that murder. Blain Hodges was thirty-five years old and had been employed at the Vinton, Virginia post office for sixteen years. Two times he stole cash from his postal drawer, close to five thousand dollars, and put it back the first time before he was found out. The last time he wasn't so lucky and was caught. He was tried and sentenced to six months in the federal prison. He was scheduled to show up for that sentence in two weeks. He, and his family, wife and two small children, were discovered dead the morning the oldest offspring was to report to a new school she would be attending.
Barry Keesee went to the place where Bramblett worked the morning of the crime. This was never brought up in trial or anywhere else, because Keesee said he believed it was a murder/suicide until that afternoon. This would have blown that lie had the visit been known. I found it from my Freedom of Information request to the FBI. Just as an aside, Keesee has five cases in the archives of the Roanoke Times newspaper where his testimony alone has convicted people and some are obvious bare-faced lies.
When the Commonwealth Attorney made his closing it was filled with lies and misinformation. The most obvious was the truck Bramblett owned. It was a white truck and Burkart made it a red truck by being underneath the new lights I talked about earlier. I talked with the woman that saw the truck and she said it was red in her headlights.
There was definitely no evidence that Earl Bramblett was anywhere near the place of the Hodges murders but he suffered the greatest penalty, death by electrocution. His final words were "I did not kill the Hodges." He selected electrocution as a protest to his innocence. The actual criminals in this case are Roy Willett, judge, F.W. Burkart, Commonwealth Attorney, Barry Keesee, Virginia State Police Investigator, Randy Leach, Assist CA. Mac Doubles and Terry Grimes, supposedly Bramblett's defense attorneys, William Conrad, VA State Firearms Examiner, Will Lindsey, Bramblett's Habeas Attorney. Lindsey knew the truth of the latest evidence but threw Bramblett to the wolves. May all these people rot in Torment when they go in with Christian Compton.
