Lies

"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."
--- Mark Twain

Deputy Sheriff Gene Ferrin


Deputy Sheriff Gene Ferrin was asked about the occupants of the other vehicle. Ferrin seemed less willing to discuss the others, and sort of waved his hand in. a dismissive-like gesture, telling me that "... he hit an older couple..." who had been hurt, but not badly. He said the woman had apparently suffered a broken foot, crushed when the engine was forced into the passenger compartment. He said the man had already been released from the hospital following suturing of facial cuts and lacerations.



Corner Bob Cambell



The parents of Conley Lane and Ollie Sutherland were told by the Teton County Corner, Bob Cambell on the day after the collision that no alcohol was involved in this incident as it related to Ollie Sutherland and Conley Lane. However, later Mr. Cambell changed his story stating that he went to Sutherland's residence and found whiskey bottles. It is highly irregular that a corner would be sifting through a victim’s residence and personal belongings. Does a coroner have the authority to search a residence? Does a coroner usually do a follow-up investigation on traffic fatalities?


Who's running this investigation anyway?



Bob Campbell said he went to Ollie's room and found whiskey bottles! Then Baldwin went to the room and found nothing. John Sutherland also found nothing when he went to his son's room.



Bob Campbell reported to John Sutherland and his wife Alice, that the accident victims in the other vehicle were an older couple. He described the injuries to those victims (crushed foot, facial injuries, scalp injuries, concussion, etc.,) in some detail, but misrepresented (whether intentionally or not, it is not known) the ages and the number of people in the Yearsley vehicle. This is curious behavior in an official elected to uncover, analyze, document, and report such details.



What was Coroner Bob Cambell’s point in stating that there had "been five other fatalities on "Brown's Curve" in recent years, and that the highway patrol routinely lowers the speed limit to forty five miles per hour in that area in winter months? Check the county records and you will find that this is a false statement.



Bob Cambell misstated the truth when he stated that the blood samples were sent directly to the lab in Cheyenne when, in fact, the samples were delivered by Trooper Delane Baldwin, to the office of Asst. Prosecuting Attorney's Office, Steve Weichman.





Wyoming State Trooper James Wilson


State Trooper James Wilson initialed a blood alcohol form stating he witnessed the drawing of blood from the two victims. He now testifies that he did not witness these events.



Prosecution Attorney Steve Weichman


Asst. Prosecuting Attorney also told the mother of Conley, that the State trooper put David Yearsley through a field sobriety test, and that he passed this test. The state trooper has stated the he did no such test on David Yearsley's.



Reconstructionist John Daily


Sergeant Daily's report of the accident caused others to believe that the Sutherland vehicle was travelling as fast as 69 mph and was out of control at the time of the accident. This report disappeared at that point and did not show up at a subsequent deposition of Sergeant Daily on April 11, 1995 because it was "misplaced." Sergeant Daily's deposition was taken without benefit of his report and without substantial objection from Mr. Wolfe at the point of that deposition. Because he had been urged to do so by counsel for the defendant, Sergeant Daily "found" the "misfiled" report less than twelve hours before he was to appear as an expert witness in these proceedings.


Could this be calculated deception?



Accident reconstructionist, Sergeant John Daily, stated in his deposition that he went to the site with Trooper Delane Baldwin, however Trooper Baldwin states in his deposition, that he never provided John Daily with any information. Was John Daily lying??? How could a reconstructionist, reconstruct an accident scene without, one, interviewing the officer in charge or, two, visiting the accident scene. Where did John daily get his information?? How could his testimony, be admissible in court when its obvious his analysis is lacking in credibility.


Sergeant John Daily refused to sign his deposition. Hiding something?



It was reported that Sergeant John Daily was at the scene of the collision that night. Officer Alan Johns stated that Sergeant John Daily drove his police car back to town. He later recanted his statement.
