| Pay Phone |
| On September 9, 1997, while Brett was with Winda Snipes, she received a phone call at 3:31 am (TR 1823) She did not answer the call, she let it ring until the caller hung up. (TR 1650) A few minutes later she told Brett that he had to leave because her boyfriend was coming over. (Tr 1823) She received another call shortly after Brett left. She did not answer this 3:36 am call either. (Tr 1650) Detective Joseph Urbank testified that the calls came from a pay phone in Kennmore. (Which is a great distance from Akron). (TR 1650) During Brett's trial, his sister wrote down the phone number Det. Urbank testified that had called Winda at 3:31 a.m. She called it and discovered it belonged to a pay phone less than 100 yards from Winda's apartment building, and which has a direct line of sight to her windows. She informed Brett's attorney of this but he ignored it. On April 18, 2002 Brett's family hired an investigator to inquire into the origination of that 3:31 am phone call. The investigator was able to determine that the phone calls that Detective Urbank testified about, came from a pay phone in Kennmore had actually come from a pay phone on the corner of West Market Street and North Highland Avenue.

It must be of some importance for a nine year veteran of the Akron Police Department (3 years as a detective) to commit such blatant perjury on the witness stand, something that could so easily be proven a lie. PLA /Chuck Quinn's Perjury Prosecutor Judy Bandy blatantly sought perjured testimony from a rebuttal witness she called, "Police Legal Advisor / Detective Chuck Quinn", testimony she knew to be false. The elicited testimony was designed for one purpose only. To discredit Brett and his mother. The entire reason that Police Legal Advisor/ Chuck Quinn was brought in as a rebuttal witness was to say that Brett did not inform the police about finding the body until after the search of his apartment. This was not only a lie, but it allowed the prosecution to destroy any credibility that Brett or his mother had. Giving the jury the illusion that he changed his story to meet the evolving evidence.
Based on the testimony of Det. Urbank and Lt Lawson, Brett was taken home, placed under arrest for traffic warrants, and was then returned to the police station. At approximately 9:30 a.m. Brett told the police about the 911 calls, finding Winda, and the tee shirt he had taken home. It was not until 10:45 am that a search warrant was obtained and that his apartment was searched.
Chuck Quinn's testimony is in direct contradiction to every other detective's testimony that the state had testify. Chuck Quinn's testimony about when the search was done was extremely important at trial, and is believed to have played a major role in Brett's conviction. Unfortunately , to fully appreciate and recognize his perjury a full review of all transcripts must be done with this in mind. Brett's attorney, Mr Witney did little to point out the perjured statements to the jury, even though he knew them to be false. Continue To; Prosecutor and Other Key People Page |
