- Winda Snipes was strangled with the cord that was cut from a
clock. This is the one piece of evidence that most agree must
have been touched by the person who killed Winda. The state
claimed that no prints were ever lifted from this clock.
- At trial, according to transcripts; Detective Gregory Harrison
testified that he attempted, but he could not lift any prints off of
the clock. He then says that the clock was not lifted for prints,
he did not lift a print from the clock. He then says the clock was
lifted for prints.
- The clock was supposedly never checked for prints until the
fourth day of trial, at which time it was examined with a
magnifying glass.
Yet when Brett's mother filed for a copy of his case,under the Public
Record Act, found within those papers were a number of documents
to the contrary.
- In a police report prepared by Detective Rod Smith, it clearly
states; "prints lifted from one plastic Wesclox clock (partial set,
sent to BCI)".
- In another evidence report, in the right hand margin, after it
describes the Wesclox clock seized are the words written,
"prints compared".
To view this document; Police Department Report
Administrators note;
The reports indicate that prints were lifted and compared, against
whom, it does not say.
Obviously they did not match Brett, Winda, or come back as
inclusive. Otherwise there would have been no logical reason for
these to be withheld from Brett's trial counsel.
