Sylvester Davis
Sylvester Davis Jr., was convicted of killing his girlfriend Yamisha Thomas of Columbus.
Davis, 32, was sentenced as a habitual offender to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole in the death of Thomas.
Court testimony shows that Davis had been with Thomas on April 23, 2011, the day before she was reported missing. Davis first told Thomas’ mother that he too had been looking for the 30-year-old woman, but he later changed his story.
During an investigation, police recovered Thomas’ abandoned 2006 Chevy Avalanche in Columbus and later noted that Davis had a mark on his face as though he had been in a struggle.
A break in the search for Thomas came when Alabama Bureau of Investigation agents were questioning jail inmate Jerry Wayne Foster, who worked for Davis at a detail shop in Phenix City. Foster told authorities that Davis picked him up on the evening of April 23, went to the Summerplace Drive rental home where the couple once stayed and drove her red Avalanche to a hospital in Columbus.
Davis took Foster to Thomas’ body and sought help to conceal it but he refused. As he walked away, Foster spotted what appeared to be a body wrapped in a sheet. It had feet exposed with toenails painted.
Foster returned to Tuskegee, Ala., where he was to face unrelated felony charges on outstanding warrants. While in the Macon County Jail, he told the ABI agents about a body in Phenix City and said he could lead them to the remains. Thomas’ body was found in a shallow grave on May 23, 2011, in a wooded lot off Third Street South in Phenix City. Her body was beneath a mattress lying on the ground.

Tom Wilkerson
Tom Wilkerson was convicted of child abuse (a four swat spanking which he could not have given since he was at work) and tampering with a witness for telling the children to tell the truth. The child accusing him had been dumped out of a prior placement for the exact same allegation. that was not allowed into evidence. Nor were the prior parents allowed to testify about the child’s pathological lying.

A message from Tom’s daughter, March 31, 2017:
My Father, Thomas Wilkerson, fondly referred to as Tom by hundreds of people, is currently sitting in a tiny prison cell in Jefferson City Correctional Prison. He was put there after he, along with his wife, devoted years of selfless service to the foster care system, fostering severely damaged children for many months at a time, filling them with all the love and attention that a child in the system craves.
Tom’s two biological children have an extremely high regard for him. Tom, always a strong, outdoorsy guy, spent hours building tree houses, zip lines, and rappelling with them as they grew up. He also did this with his foster children. Everyone loves Tom; he is a favorite, and nobody forgets Tom after they meet him even just once.
Tom was forced into a sham trial by the Lincoln County Justice system. (the same system that incarcerated an innocent Russ Faria in a terrifying display of the corruption that fills the Justice system in Lincoln County.) This corruption showed up in Tom’s trial in many forms. Not a single piece of exculpatory evidence was allowed as to Tom’s whereabouts, which would have proven clearly that Tom Wilkerson was not even in the home or with his children when the alleged four-swat spanking occurred. Rather, he was at work, working hard to make a good living for his wife and five adopted children.
Also the evidence that one of the children, in a prior placement, had alleged abuse, and that abuse was then proven false. The child had lied. This evidence was completely omitted from Tom’s trial.
The children chose to keep the Wilkerson’s name after the trial, even though they were told over and over they were allowed to go back to their own prior last name. During supervised and unsupervised visits, they often begged to go back home with the Wilkersons. Evidence of this was withheld during the trial.
The trial itself happened years after the first allegations had been made, giving Lincoln County time to alienate and brainwash the children into the mind-set of abuse. The children had no idea of the gravity of the accusations they were making during the trial. This was due to the fact no doubt, that they had been born with opiates in their system. They had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and had been diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). This allows the children to be manipulated and controlled. None of this extremely pertinent information was allowed during Tom’s trial per the prosecutor asking the judge to suppress these details.
During the trial the children often appeared drugged and sleepy. It was apparent they had been given something to make them more pliable. They always looked toward the front row before answering any questions that were asked of them. This witness coaching appeared in full view of Judge Mennemeyer, who also made it clear that she had not read a single one of the 40 letters of character references that she had received before the trial.
The oldest child, who is now 20, was not allowed to come to the trial to testify on Tom’s behalf, after he had repeatedly said that “nothing had happened”. Church Elders, pastors, and friends were also excluded from testifying. The Wilkersons had conveniently NOT been informed by Rod Barnhill, the Deputy Juvenile officer, about the problems the children had developed before they were placed in the Wilkerson’s home: that they were sexual predators This omission by Barnhill was in direct violation of both state and federal law.
This allowed Lincoln County to collect federal money from the Safe Families Act, both when placed with the Wilkerson’s, and when removed. A two-for-one, if you will. Lincoln County has a long history of framing people for the Safe Families Act in order to get federal money. They target people who have low IQ’s, adopted children, or children with mental problems. In short, they target the people who are easily manipulated.
We believe the prosecutor, Leah Askey, and Judge Chris Kunza Mennemeyer colluded to exclude all exculpatory evidence of Tom’s innocence from his trial in order to ensure a guilty verdict and subsequent conviction, therefore padding their own resume, and furthering their respective careers.
The Lincoln County Justice system has become so corrupt that they appear to think themselves above the law. They target the weak, garner federal money from the Safe Families Act, and manipulate and control each trial by the Prosecutor and Judge. The judge is supposed to be the arbiter between the two parties, and not the arm of the prosecution, fixing cases to ensure conviction as was clearly done in Tom Wilkerson’s and Russ Faria’s cases by Leah Askey (currently under investigation by multiple authorities and the Chief disciplinary counsel of the Missouri Bar) and Judge Chris Kunza Mennemeyer (Now under suspension).
We are anxiously waiting for the appellate court of the Eastern District of Missouri to rule on the case that was heard on February 9, 2017. Thank you in advance for your support and help.

Nicholas Newbold
Nicholas Newbold was wrongfully convicted of crimes committed by his ex-fiancé. She abused their two month old little girl, resulting in her death. Under California’s aiding and abetting law, Nubi was basically found guilty by association. He’s serving 30 years in prison and she is walking free! His only crime was choosing a cold hearted, selfish woman to fall in love with.

Marcel Johnson
Marcel Johnson was convicted in June 2015 of stabbing to death a pregnant woman and her 4-year-old daughter on November 25, 2013, and sentenced to death.
Behind bars, he allegedly confessed to a fellow inmate, George Lewis. The defense argued in closing that Lewis was a motivated witness with a long rap sheet and plenty of reasons to lie to help his own case, and told the jury that Johnson’s DNA was not found in evidence from the scene.
Elwood Jones
Elwood Jones was sentenced to death after being convicted for the 1994 murder of Rhoda Nathan, a guest at the hotel where he worked as a custodian. He has always maintained his innocence and absolutely denied involvement in Ms. Nathan’s death.
Ms. Nathan was found unconscious on the floor of the hotel suite she occupied at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Blue Ash, Ohio, on September 3, 1994. She had been badly beaten and two of her teeth had been knocked out. Blood was found in several places in the room. Ms. Nathan was also without a necklace that family and friends said she wore constantly. No one witnessed the attack.
Elwood Jones had been working in the hotel on that day, and he voluntarily submitted to police questioning. Several other employees reported seeing Elwood working that day and remembered him being clean and acting normally. A cut on Elwood’s hand that he received while taking out trash on the morning of Ms. Nathan’s death later became infected, and he sought treatment and workers compensation for his injury. After police learned about Elwood’s cut, they focused on him as a suspect. Police searched Elwood’s car, and his and a friend’s residences, and questioned him at the station. But none of the blood, fingerprint, or trace evidence collected from the scene of the crime, nor from Elwood’s car, clothing, or other possessions, matched him with the crime scene or the victim. To this day, zero forensic evidence ties Elwood to Ms. Nathan’s homicide.
