Nancy E. Smith, 1990, Assistant District Attorney for Monroe County, up into 2020 she was a Fourth Department Appellate Court Judge she was the ada in the Murder case ....The State of New York v. Thomas Hill...,..she made all the decisions in this case..,..below is a picture of Ms. Smith.
In 2017 their were protesters outside Nancy E. Smith place of Business Appellate Division Fourth Department with signs, of corruption with Demands of Thomas Hills release.
Rochester police turned over their complete investigation on the Murder of Ronald Melendez to Ms. Nancy E. Smith by April 5, 1990.
Ms. Smith receive information that Mr. Melendez was a 31 year old that had just been release from jail was out on bond, for the stabbing and cutting of another individual. Mr. Melendez had several arrest for stabbing and cutting individual with a meat cleaver and a knife. This was Mr. Melendez No., he did time in mental institution for 2 people its said that he murdered. see attached Rap sheet..
This is in no way saying that Mr. Melendez deserve to die. Base on Mr. Melendez rap sheet and history, I'm just giving fact's depictions of events and circumstance that lead up to Mr. Melendez demise. Plus the evidence that was in the prosecution possession and the decision that were made.
This in formation was well guarded, by Nancy E. Smith she decided at all cost it had to be kept out of the trials...........
Ms. Smith was in possession of Rochester Police's initial canvassing of the crime scene, on Jay and Orchard street, in the city of Rochester, where officers talk to numerous witnesses who witnessed events that lead up to the murder and the actual murder it self.
Ms. Smith also had evidence from the Rochester Police officer's base on their interviews that their were three-four, young black youth said to be involved by all the witnesses, and by more than half identified the suspect said to have committed the crime.
Ms. Smith had evidence that at least 15-20 people witnessed this crime on March 30 around 12 noon in broad day light, cars followed this incident while it transpired people came out their house's to witness it the traffic guard right down the street from a school witnessed it while school was progress.
Ms. Smith possessed evidence from the Rochester Police Investigation that the 3 youth that were involved in this altercation, disarmed Mr. Melendez who had both weapon out ready to attack one of his assailants when another one joined to help disarmed Mr. Melendez by pick up a piece of rock hitting Mr. Melendez in the head. Said that other individuals helping the first pick up Mr. Melendez weapons and stab him with his own weapon's.
Ms. Smith was in possession of the police investigation which showed these weapons were all left at the scene of the crime all but a machete that was recovered wit the help of one of the youth who used it on victim who the fight started off initially with. There were finger prints on those weapons but none of them belong to me......just a small note Ineffective assistance of counsel, information never used........
Being a true believer that's there's nothing more powerful than the truth.......... I'm going to go from here.........
Ms. Smith was aware that base on The Rochester Police investigation, not one witness Implicated me in the Melendez!murder out of the 15-20 people interviewed not one .
Base on the police investigation Ms. Smith had a three names. They all turned themselves in in good faith.........
I was a witness to this altercation, I do not call it a crime which is my opinion, I didn't give a statement didn't feel I had a need to I was arrested taking downtown prior to the three people that were identified by witnesses. I was thought to be a suspect initially by the police base on the fact one of suspect share a relative his sister was my wife and they were at his sister's house looking for him and thought I was him so end up taking me down for questioning. Remember prior to this based on the police investigation no one said I was involved.
let me clarify a few things before I proceed, as I stated initially I do not believe any man deserves to die and this includes Mr. Melendez, but everyone that witnessed this crime and this is not snitching, because what you don't know is the suspect upon turning themselves in admitted to the fight, wasn't in the least bit ashamed of their actions because just as I believe if it was Mr. Melendez that die that day it would have been one of them,and Mr. Melendez has the history to prove that.
One of those suspects, after turning himself in told the investigator exactly who help save his life as he explained it, but explained his cousin was involved an that he couldn't speak on him.......... this information was kept out of trial guarded by Ms. Smith she refuse to allow it to be heard.. by the jury....because it proved I had no involvement counsel refuse to call any police officers that were aware of these facts.as well.......ineffective of counsel.......
Once Ms. Smith determined that I was not the cousin,during pretrial and trial hearing she could not allow Rochester Police to testify she would lose trial..
We are going to talk about what Ms. Smith use to involve me and take me to trial on Murder charges,.............One sole identification witness, one of the witnesses in the initial police investigation, who did not implicate me in this crime initially...... but you will be shocked to fined out why and to fined out what information kept secret by Ms. Smith to accomplished her mission to convict a innocence man.
Daoud Lowry, the prosecution's key witness and only witness to implicate me at trial. Daoud statements which he gave two initially to the Rochester police must have been cause for concern, on those statements Daoud told the Rochester police that the victim deserved to die, for going around stabbing people he also told them what he saw and didn't see identify the clothing to the car the suspect were driving but could not I'd their faces as the fled the scene.
These were Mr. Lowry's initial statements, later he claimed that he didn't want to get involved that's why he told the police he didn't know anything.........at trial he goes into this thing about the police knowing that he didn't know anything but was not giving an explanation of why he was feeling pressured to lie and implicate ..me..see trial transcript.....their was also money given to Mr Lowry by crimestoppers that he said he didn't call plus was not eligible for. follow the money........
But the most important thing you need to know here is that Ms. Smith with held and kept out of trial crucial evidence on this witness and how they pressured and got him to lie, self preservation, Daoud Lowry was the Indivual that Ronald Mendez had an open assault case with a standing order of protection which Daoud Lowry was in violation of at the scene of the crime over Mr. Melendez body. Ms. Smith made sure the jury would never hear this.........evidence.
To add insult to injury Ms Smith along with defense counsel, a former district attorney Irene Dymkar that was appointed to Thomas Hill kept Out Daoud Lowry mother Vida Lowry who said she witnessed the crime besides her son and was shown photo of Thomas Hill and said he was not involved.........ThomasHill's Actual Innocence witness they made sure this evidence was not heard by an jury. see picture of Irene Dymkar former prosecutor..... appointed to Thomas......
Ms. Vida Lowry also provided information to the Rochester police that her son Daoud Lowry had an order of protection against the victim Ronald Melendez....... Didn't call her as a witness kept her out of trial.
I didn't start claiming my innocence later in the years while fighting this case I claimed it from the very beginning pointing out to the judge that it was impossible for their to be any evidence against me because I did not commit the crime so it was impossible for their to be any evidence against me see pretial statements Feb 22, 1991.
At the same time trying to remove counsel, at this February 22, hearing because she was a former district attorney helping the current one on my case helping Ms. Smith hide how they illegality indicted me. Prior to becoming my Lawyer Ms. Dymkar, I was being represented by another attorney Bradley Bennett who Ms. Smith used to help her indict me. They had him represent Daoud the prosecutor's key witness and me at the same time take his other client to get me indict then remove himself from the case after the jury indicted. Ms. Smith tried to hide these illegal acts saying I was represented by another attorney during these indictment cases but what she didn't know Bennet already admitted it on record....corruption
see.....febuary 22, 1991 hearing also the arraignment on the indictment........
So what do we have Ms. Smith suppressing that her only identification witness had an open then pending assault case against the actual victim she was using to implicate me. Suppressing that he had an Order of Protection against the victim at the time of the victim demise. Suppression of the fact that he was in violation of that Order of Protection at the scene of the crime over Mr. Melendez going through his clothing. Suppressing that their was another individual said to have committed this crime and not Thomas Hill. Suppressed that her only identification witness Daoud Lowry's Mother said I did not commit this crime. Suppresses that the suspect identified by witnesses said that I was not involved but a family member help him save his life. How did she Manage to keep all this evidence out of trial???????? She suppressed the entire Rochester's Police investigation. She did not call one police officer in a murder trial.... this is completely unheard of, not one police officer to explain who they talk to who lead them to what evidence, what witness implicated me......
So what do we have Ms. Smith suppressing that her only identification witness had an pending assault case against the actual victim in this case, A WITNESS SHE WAS USING TO IMPLICATE ME!!!
Not one officer that investigated this case.
Their was no Justice in this case for Ms. smith this was about winning, she did not care if a innocent person was being convicted, all the evidence that pointed to someone else committing this crime she suppressed it. With the help of court appointed former District Attorney Irene Dymkar, who refused to do anything or use any evidence that supported my innocence, she could have called Detective that interviewed witnesses that said they witnessed the crime and that it was not me, that it was someone they "knew". She refuse to call those witnesses or officer's that spoke to those witnesses. Ms. Dymkar was aware of Mr. Melendez history and wanted me to lie, and implicate myself claim justification believing I would get less time because of his history instead of investigating the truth and following the evidence she felt with Mr. Melendez history I had a better chance at winning. Their was our conflict of interest I made sure I expressed my innocence to the judge once I realize what Ms. Dymkar was trying to do.
