These two attorneys were either appointed to "defend" Bramblett because of their inability or because they agreed to throw the case.

The trial came out the same either way. "Defense" opening and closing.

Someone left the following comment on the Guest Book:

When I was on jury duty several years ago in another case defended by Terry Grimes the other jurors actually made fun of Mr. Grimes. I think that speaks for his incompetence as a trial lawyer.

When Bramblett first asked me to look into his case I wrote both Doubles and Grimes. Grimes called me when he got the letter and wanted to know who I was and all about me. I, of course, thought they would welcome anyone trying to help their client but it was the very opposite.

Grimes said he would have to check with the Virginia State Bar Association and sent me a copy of the letter. I talked with Grimes a week or so later and he told me the Bar Association had said I shouldn't see the files. This was a LIE. The Bar Association never told him any such thing, but he continued to tell other people that same lie. Even though I had a perfectly legal right to see Bramblett's files, Grimes continued to hold them from me. 

The first time I had a chance to inspect any of the files was in the habeas attorney's office and All the discovery evidence had been withheld. Grimes either destroyed the discovery evidence or kept it. Grimes happens to be a liar and a two bit crook as well as a very incompetent lawyer. There should have been interviews with the lady that saw the truck, interviews with the witnesses in trial that the police had conducted and most everything else the prosecution was going to use in the trial. None of that was forwarded to the habeas attorney.

The habeas attorney, Will Lindsey, and later joined by Jennifer Givens, of the Virginia Capital Resource Center, never requested this information and filed all Bramblett's appeals without it. Rather than criticize another attorney, they would rather work around the missing information. Is it any wonder Bramblett was murdered? I furnished Lindsey with the FBI-FOIA material, and most of the information in the habeas appeal was some of the information I had gathered and shown Lindsey. After I left the Roanoke area Lindsey would not call me back, the same as he did with Earl Bramblett's brother. I can understand how I have a lot less to lose than the attorneys. They live in the area and Burkart is now a judge and they have to deal with him as well as the other attorneys, but why take the case if you aren't going to do the right thing, and use the things that will show your client's innocence?

I was the one that contacted the jail house snitch. I was the one that told Lindsey of the firearm evidence being a lie. I showed them about the testimony about the lights not installed where the old lady said she saw the truck. I gave them the FBI-FOIA files. Most of this stuff they totally ignored. This was Lindsey and Givens, the second set of lawyers. I could expect that from the "traffic ticket-dog bite" type lawyers, Doubles and Grimes, but not from people I was helping.

 Doubles has stayed far away from the case and let Grimes do all the dirty work. Doubles did all the dirty work in trial, accepting all "experts" as such before even hearing their qualifications, asking non-sequitur questions of witnesses, and asking the exact same questions the prosecution had just asked. It was pathetic to the point of being embarrassing.

These attorneys are guilty of murdering Bramblett
