Kentucky justice...with or without prejudice.

The American Bar Association has announced a study released Wednesday recommending that Kentucky suspend executions due to serious flaws in the legal system. Those flaws include low pay for public defenders, a lack of protections against executing the mentally ill, no rule to preserve evidence for future appeals, confusion amongst the jurors, prosecutorial misconduct and poor police work, especially involving false identifications and false confessions. A recent local case is a perfect example of this flawed and corrupt system.

Pleas Lucian Kavanaugh was charged with two crimes in a short period of time two years ago. Both cases were recently dismissed.

The first case involved the daughter of Detective William Persley, the partner of Detective Elizabeth Adams. Detective Adams had lost several cases in the past where she had charged Kavanaugh with a crime. Kavanaugh was found innocent of these charges after a trial determined many inconsistencies in the testimonies of Persley, Persley's daughter and former Detective Adams. Detective Adams was demoted to officer position after it was determined that she handled this and other cases questionably. Specifically, her procedure for witness identifications in some cases was flawed. It could be argued these flaws were done by choice.

One of the recommendations by the ABA was that videotaping should take place the entire time someone is questioned, not just part of the time. In the Kavanaugh case, Adams claims that the recorder just didn't work this time. The file seemed to be there but she can't get it to play. The defense asked for this file or access to the computer or to talk to the computer tech at the police department. All of these requests were ignored.

The second case was the infamous bus stop kidnapping that made all of the local news. Kavanaugh was announced on all of the local stations as the suspect. The police claimed that he was to be considered armed and dangerous. Kavanaugh turned himself in at a news station and then to the police station to ensure his safety.

After two years, Kavanuagh's defense team was put in contact with the witness or victim in this case. A short interview with her revealed why the prosecution did not want the defense to speak with her. She reveals more improper police work by Detectives Adams and Persley.

Adams, once again, decided in advance that she would pin this crime on Kavanaugh. Immediately while the victim is filing the report Adams tells her that she knows that Kavanaugh is the man they should be looking for. In order to make sure Kavanaugh is arrested she manipulated the eyewitness identification by first showing a drawing of Kavanaugh to her. She then returned with a group of pictures, one of them being Kavanaugh, and asks the victim to pick the assailant. Of course, she picks the one that looks like the drawing she had recently been shown. This was all done at the house of the victim rather than on videotape at the police station.

Days after this interview the prosecutor, Bobby Gullette, surprises everyone just weeks before the trial by dismissing the case at a status hearing with no explanation. No explanation was necessary. Should the case have been allowed to continue, Kavanaugh would surely have beat the charges and claimed his innocence. This would have also allowed the disciplinary file on Detective Persley to become public. Detective Adams' file had already came out in the previous case. Persley's is rumored to be even more damaging.

These two disciplinary files with two recent false arrests, previous false arrests and a witness testimony with damning information combine to set the stage for a costly civil case against the city.

Kavanaugh realized a few days ago that this case was dismissed 'without prejudice'.

Leaked witness interview proves Lexington detectives set up Kavanaugh.

A recent interview with the victim of the attempted bus depot attack 2 years ago proves that Lexington detectives decided to 'pin' the attack on Kavanaugh from the very start. The interview was leaked to LexiLeaks and then passed on to me.

Pleas Lucian Kavanaugh has been dealing with false arrests for over ten years. Detective Elizabeth Adams was involved in Kavanaugh's early arrests a decade ago. Adams does not hide her contempt for Kavanaugh after her loss in those cases.

More recently, Kavanaugh was chosen by Adams' partner's daughter, Morgan Persley, as her attacker on October 24, 2009. Detective Adams and Detective Persley have both been demoted to officer after behavior in Persley's daughter's case and other cases showed lack of integrity. Kavanaugh was found not guilty at trial in the Persley case.

The bus depot incident happened just five weeks after the Persley incident. However, the victim in this case has been ignored by the prosecution and hidden from the defense for almost two years. Just prior to the upcoming trial in this case the defense was allowed to interview the victim, Laura Baker. Not long after this interview, the prosecution suddenly, after two years, dismissed the case at a status hearing. An investigation into this interview shows clearly why this case was dismissed.

I have taken the interview and divided it into sections to emphasize each piece of evidence proving that Adams decided to pin this on Kavanaugh from the start and did everything she could, regardless of the evidence, to try to convict Kavanaugh of a crime she knew he did not commit.

In order to show that this interview has not been edited in such a way to change the meaning you may listen to the full un-edited interview here. If you would like to listen to the edited version from beginning to end prior to reading you can listen here.
