Junk Forensics in San Diego The Cheri Lynn Dale Story INTRO

In April, 1995, Cheri's jury never got to hear just HOW the ball started rolling against her at her charade of a trial for the murder of Susan Denise Taylor. It's time everyone found out.

This is one excerpt from Cheri's story. She is now serving 26 to life at Chowchilla Women's Prison in CA for a crime she did not commit. I know she is innocent because I was with her at home on the morning of the murder and she later on gave me a birthday gift I still have. But at trial I was tricked into not taking the stand at her trial.

False forensics played a large part in her arrest, indictment which were essential stepping stones to her conviction.

A jailed informant became a false eye-witness to bloody clothes that was used against her at and before her trial.

The arresting officer falsified the forensic hair test result on hair from the clutched fist of the victim, saying that it was "SIMILAR IN ALL RESPECT" to Cheri's hair. Instead, the test result said "NO CONCLUSION COULD BE REACHED". Still, it remains the probable cause that arrested Cheri.

Dates were put into Cheri's mouth she never said, placing her at the scene of the crime.

A DNA expert from Maryland reported one thing to the grand jury to help indict Cheri, then only one month after the indictment, REVERSED her finding on the same hair samples! But power of that misleading testimomy wasn't told to Cheri's jury either.

On 2-22-94, after attorney Steven Wadler told judge Charles Rogers that there was "perjury, falsified evidence, and outrageous governmental misconduct" within Cheri's arrest warrant, Judge Rogers took the rare step of releasing her on her own recognizance. He believed there were "material misstatements" in the arrest warrant and wished to address those issues further at her preliminary hearing. But the prosecutor made an end run around that hearing with a grand jury indictment that eventually re-incarcerated Cheri before her trial.
The judges changed; Wadler was mysteriously removed from her case, and the case went to trial as though it had merit.

There will be more excerpts to review on Youtube soon, but you can always visit justicedenied.org to get a broader picture of this case. Issue #25 Junk Forensics in San Diego - the Cheri Lynn Dale Story.

what is this "consistant" horse manure? if dna tests were done today they could say without a doubt one way or another whether it was her, or someonelse, no "well she has the same hair type....so obviously she did" it crapola. that and "well it's the same blood type as 2 billion other people on the planet, so she did it" stuff they ran for years and got away with

Hi Manny, Yes, loose terms like "consistent" sure were horse manure seeing that such words "narrowed it down" to 50 million people in the US including Cheri. But the final DNA test exonerated Cheri. Odd that only one month before that, Cellmark came to the exact opposite conclusion and used it against Cheri. 4-20-94 "Cheri CANNOT BE EXCLUDED as the source of the DNA found in the hair" VS 5-20-94 Cheri IS EXCLUDED as the source of the DNA found in the hair."

There has to be an individual, group or organization of retired or INTERESTED law enforcement folks who can undo the wrong in this case.

An innocent woman lost her freedom many years ago due to bungling, ineptitude and worse.

How does she right this wrong???

[Wadlyyardshark]

Yes, you would think that the Innocence Project would have JUMPED on the DNA evidence that still could exonorate Cheri. But when we proved to them it exists AND that police misrepresented that evidence at trial (saying it does not exist), the IP refused to help us. We even offered to pay for the DNA test.

Thanks for you comments.

Fred, (I think that's who posted this) Don't give up. So then Jeff (her ex) set her up because he got dumped? I'm thinking the directors of Aleen's story would want to know more. A movie could fund her defense.
