Serendipity

(**Previously published 5/9/11**) As I have mentioned in my previous post, my son, Shawn Campbell, is struggling to find  justice  in a case that some have called a 'slam dunk'.  He was railroaded into  pleading guilty  for a crime he did not commit, and has proof that the county District Attorney's office had been forewarned of a 'murder to hire plot' that was going around Wende Correctional Facility at in weeks prior to Rhonda Bilby's murder. He is back in court today, and I will have the details as they become available to me.  As well, I will post each section of the interview as they are aired.                              

I have set up a Facebook page for my son, Shawn Campbell, to garner support for finding justice for the injustice he has been served. Please, if you are on Facebook, go to "Team Free Campbell" and "Like" the page...to show your support! Thank you so much!

Shawn Campbell, my son who is in the process of trying to find justice and reverse a murder charge that he did not commit, has asked me to write up this little blog with a request. Anyone interested in writing him for more information about his case, to offer their encouragement, can contact him at:    Shawn Campbell 05B0846 Wende Correctional Facility P. O. Box 1187 Alden, NY 14004-1187   He would love to hear your thoughts and comments ! Thanks!

screen grab of one of the letters sent to the District Attorney It wouldn't be until after the sentencing that Shawn found letters that had been sent to the District Attorney's office of a "murder plot for hire" that had circulated Wende Correctional Facility in the weeks prior to Rhonda Bilby's murder. Here was information that would have been the key to PROVING Shawn's innocence. So why was Shawn never told about them?   These letters were and are key instruments to prove that Shawn had no part in the murder of this woman. In the interview below, the ADA Baker states that Shawn DID know about them and didn't want to pursue the issue as part of his defense.  It's a lie. I remember when Shawn found those letters...he was extremely angry that he hadn't been told about them and I am literally the first person he called when he found them.  He was excited too...this would mean the difference between life in prison or freedom!
