Thomas H. Kimbell
On Pennsylvania's Death Row
....Please Help Save A Life !
Welcome
to Thomas H. Kimbell Website.
It
was created in honor of Thomas H. Kimbell because of direct
negligence
on part of the so-called United States "Judicial System".
You
are invited to read to discover how many innocent people are sitting
on death row for crimes they did not commit.
On June 15, 1994, a vicious crime was
committed and 4 innocent people paid the
price with their lives. It happened just a few
miles from where Tom lived and daily he walked
past the road on which it occurred. The day that
the murders were committed Tom had gotten a
ride to and from town. The authorities gained
knowledge of Tom sometimes walking along
Route 422 and arrested him upon a charge of
theft for a bicycle, but, not before endlessly
interigating our mother and father with questions
concerning this murder. They held him in the jail
for 1 month for the bicycle charge and then
dropped the charges against him. While he was
incarcerated, the county officials along with the
state and city police departments checked word
of mouth stories concerning these murders and
took DNA samples from Tom's body and his
clothing. Through every test, no match could
ever be made connecting our brother with this
horrible crime. However, the father of the victims
was known to have blood of the young girls on
his hands and clothing and was never tested for
the DNA samples.
After almost 2 years, the state and county
lawyers and officials decided to proceed with
Tom's trial. Many types of evidence were
collected by only those which portrayed my
brother as the killer were allowed into court.
They allowed gruesome pictures of the innocent
children killed to persuade the jury to convict
Tom. However, they didn't admit some evidence,
such as the testimony of a family member of the
deceased, which directly appointed the
husband/father of the deceased family as the
killer.
They claimed that due to her (the family
member's) mental disorder since the crime she
had made several statements to the investigating
officers and that the most crutial statement (one
of which was audio taped and the other was a
signed statement ) should not be permitted into
the courtroom for the jury to hear because of the
laws that were in effect at the time of the trial.
This evidence was also not produced to my
brother's attorney from the lead investigating
officer until almost 8 months after the attorney
was appointed to the case. The only reason that
they did produce it was because the attorney
knew of this evidence and the prosecuting
attorney (which was the Deputy Attorney General
for the State of PA) gave it to the attorney
because he knew it was against the Law to
withhold evidence.
Upon January 28, 1999, Judge Glenn McCracken,
Jr., denied Tom's petition for an appeal or reversal
of the verdict. The next step is a petition to the PA
State Supreme Court for an appeal or reversal of
the verdict. If you have questions or would like
