THE CASE

Jerome Campbell was convicted and sentenced to death of the aggravated murder of Henry Turner. Henry Turner lived in an apartment at 1008 York Street, Cincinnati. Jerome Campbell had formerly lived in the same appartment building as Turner and has been in Turner's apartment, but had moved out about 2 months before the murder. On December 23, 1988, Henry Turner's neighbor, Leon Callins, visited Turner and left at 8.00 p.m. The next morning he found Turner lying dead, a knife sticking through his wrist. The police found the apartment in disarry, items were lying on the floor, the televison lay facedown on the floor. 

On December 30, the police arrested Jerome Campbell at his sister's apartment. He denied the murder.

THE STATE'S THEORY

According to the State Jerome Campbell is a calculating murderer. The State's theory is that he broke in the apartment of Henry Turner to rob and when Turner woke up, Jerome Campbell killed him. 

THE EVIDENCE

Jerome Campbell's fingerprint was found on a light bulb on the floor outside Turner's apartment. The palm print was found on the outside surface of the door leading from the hallway into the kitchen, directly above the lock.

Donna Roberts lived at 1010 York Street. He knew Jerome Campbell as "Scar Face" or "Burnt Face", injuries he suffered from a house-burning at the age of four. Around 11:00 p.m. on December 23, while walking to a local bar, Roberts saw someone in the alley between 1010 York and 1008 York. She did not see the persons face, but said he or she wore white jogging pants. About two hours later, Roberts was walking home and passing the alley, Roberts was startled to see Jerome Campbell standing in the alley. Jerome was wearing dark pants and held what might have been a bottle.

In his sister's apartment the police found a pair of gym shoes stained with human blood. Under a bed, they found an empty Bacardi rum bottle - the code number on the label matched the number on a Bacardi bottle found in Turner's apartment.

Rony Clardy and Angelo Roseman, both convicted felons, were in jail at the same time. Both later testified that Campbell admitted to them that he had murdered Turner.

Estella Roe, Jerome Campbell's ex-girl-friend, received a letter from him setting forth an alibi for her to testify to.

The jury convicted Jerome Campbell of aggravated murder, a felony-murder specification, and two counts of aggravated burglary. After a penalty hearing, he was sentenced to death.

THE FLAWS IN THE STATE'S THEORY AND THE EVIDENCE

According to the State Jerome Campbell broke in Henry Turner's apartment and killed him when he woke up. The police found an empty bottle of Bacardi in the apartment of Jerome Campbell's sister. When Jerome Campbell wanted to rob Henry Turner, why should he steal a half bottle of Bacardi and not the money, which was sitting open on top of a cabinet full of liquor and the gun which was found sitting in a bag right infront of the cabinet?

In 1998 (ten years later!)  the attorney's of Jerome Campbell finally got the police report and they found out that the so called "jailhouse snitches" have made a deal with the state for their testifying.

Jerome wrote a letter to his ex-girl-friend Estella Roe, asked her to lie for him. But just as he couldn't get Karen, a "one-night-stand" to testify for him that they were together at the time of the crime! He tried to get an alibi when he noticed that the system would do all they can to make him look like a murderer and kill him!!!

A glove and a hat  was found. Both didn't belong to Henry Turner, the victim, or Jerome Campbell.  A DNA-test was made along with the gym shoes of Jerome (where the "human blood" was on). The test came back "inconclusive", so in other words: the DNA-test was negative!!! It wasn't even clear if the blood on Jerome's gym shoes were human blood, animal blood, ketchup or a kind of sauce!!!

In this police report is stated that a shoe print of Jerome was found outside, in the common hallway, not inside the apartment! A bloody shoe print was found - and this print doesn't match to Jerome Campbell!!! The picture of this shoe print was never shown at trial - was never even mentioned!!!

There were no fingerprints of Jerome Campbell found on the murder weapon!

Donna Roberts first stated she didn't know who she saw but after the police talked to her and put her under pressure, they made her say it was Jerome Campbell that she saw near the house where the crime happened.

CONCLUSION

There is serious doubt in the guilt of Jerome Campbell and he needs help desperately before another innocent man will be killed!!! He is on death row since 11 years now and already in his federal appeals. Time is running out, SO PLEASE HELP!

More evidence will be proofed and will be updated here.
