Neither of these two, that have a license to practice law,were qualified to represent a death penalty case. That is why they were appointed to do so.
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 my 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 when he got the letter and wanted to know all about me. I 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 later, and he told me the Bar Association said I shouldn't see the files. This was a LIE. The Bar Association never told him that, but he continued tell other people that same lie. I had a perfectly legal right to see Bramblett's files but Grimes continued to withhold them.
The first time I had a chance to inspect the files was in the Will Lindsey's office and the discovery evidence was not there. Grimes destroyed the discovery evidence or kept it. Grimes is a liar and two bit crook as well as an incompetent lawyer. The files should have included interviews and everything the prosecution used in the trial as well as police interviews, etc. None of that was there. This would undeniably have shown collusion or incompetence
The habeas attorney, Will Lindsey, and later joined by Jennifer Givens, of the Virginia Capital Resource Center, never requested this information. They would work without the missing information than show Grimes and Doubles as crooks and incompetents. I furnished Lindsey the FBI-FOIA material, and information about the street lights and prison snitch. He ignored it in the habeas appeal. After I left Roanoke Lindsey would not return my calls or Earl's brother calls. I was the one that contacted the jail house snitch, showed Lindsey the firearm evidence was a lie, showed them about the lights not installed where the old lady saw the truck. I gave them the FBI-FOIA files. This was Lindsey and Given ignoring hard evidence. None of this was ever used.
Doubles let Grimes do the dirty work. Doubles did the dirty work in trial, accepting all "experts" before even hearing their qualifications, asking non-sequitur questions of witnesses, and asking the same questions the prosecution had just asked. It was pathetic to the point of being embarrassing.
These attorneys murdered Bramblett.
