1/26
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF VIRGINIA
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA ))
v. ))
EDWARD NATHANIEL BELL Eddie )
EMERGENCY STAY OF EXECUTION BY NEXT FRIENDPETITION FOR WRIT OF ERROR CORAM VOBIS
1. Before Virginia supreme Court Justice G. Steven Agee was selected to
serve in the United States Courts, he wrote an opinion of14 September
2007 regarding the ancient common law writ of error coram vobis. So
this Writ is current in its application in the Courts of Virginia.
2. In the Duke Bar Journal of December 1951, in the article on the Writ of
Error Coram Nobis and Coram Vobis, it speaks to desperation. Bells
execution is slated for 19 February 2009.
3. In the Eddie Bell Case there are most definitely certain facts existed
which, if they had been brought to the attention of the court during the
trial, would have prevented the judgment. What are they?

4. First let us be honest to acknowledge that the Appeals process has an
inherent flaw it that does NOT allow the introduction of new evidence, or
even old evidence that defense counsel failed to introduce in the
original trial, that cripples future Appeals efforts. On page 5 of the 23January 2009 Petition for Clemencyto Governor Kaine is written:
United States District Court Judge James P. Jones of the WesternDistrict of Virginia thoroughly examined the entire record from trialand post-conviction proceedings and found that the trial attorneysperformance representing Bell in the capital sentencing aspect of histrial was deficient within a constitutional standard.3 Thisfinding is extremely rare, and a powerful indictment of trialcounsels performance.
The Petition for Clemencyalso relates the deficient counsel at phasespriorto sentencing and contains crucial evidence not presented at trial,detailed on many pages but especially pages 26:
But Officer Bower, the only eyewitness to the shooting, did notsee a person wearing reflective stripes shoot Officer Timbrook....Bell was unambiguously wearing reflective white stripes on the
night of the shooting, yet the only eyewitness to the actualshooting itself saw a shooter that was notwearing reflectivewhite stripes. Where the only eyewitness saw someone otherthan the defendant do the shooting, the Governor shouldhave serious doubts about the defendants guiltdoubtssufficient to justify the exercise of executive clemency.
and page 27, Petition for Clemencyfor Eddie Bell:
Yet more than an hour after Bell broke into 305 Piccadilly, apolice helicopter using Forward-Looking Infrared detected ahuman image lying on the ground between a pickup truck anda shed behind 307 Piccadilly Street.
Apparently, My mind is made up, dont confuse me with the facts! or
We have our target suspect! dictated Winchester Police investigations.

5. Therefore the errors of the first defense counsel, or the subtle biases of
the first trial judge as far as permitting the admission of various items as
evidence, without defense objections, can have persistent adverse effect
throughout the pursuit of justice in the Appeals process, especially if the
first lawyer is judged to be Competent Counsel, a very low bar to hurdle.
6. Blatant biases of the trial judge with significant departure from Due
Process are about the only matter that Appeals judges are ready to
overrule a lower court judge. A judge, John Wetsel, who in April 1995, in
Court transcripts, describes an young Black Army Veteran as
comparable to Adolf Hitleris an example of blatant judicial bias, yet even
with this, the Appeals courts have not overrulled the lower court coerced
Plea. In the Bell case, Judge Wetsel, presided over 7 of 14 preliminary
hearings according to Virginia Court Information online. On 4 February
2009 the Adolf Hitler remark of Judge Wetsel was revealed to the Senate
and House Courts of Justice Committees when Judge Wetsel was in
consideration for a position in the Court of Appeals of Virginia. In caucus,
Wetsel was not further considered due in part to an opposition statement
with this. The will and displeasure of We The People had spoken. Yet
Wetsel, presiding over 7 of 14 hearingswith his shocking bias, had a role
in the Eddie Bell case, with what impact on the life of Eddie Bell?

7. The three branches of Government are Legislative, Executive and
Judicial. While the Founding Fathers created a Constitution based
Government with Checks and Balances between the three branches of
Government, often the three get a bit too cozy with one another; and so fail
to exert the balancing power intended by this Constitution, such as the
Legislative Oversight of the Judiciary to remove Bad Behavior
judges, and the Executive Veto by Clemency over Judicial acts
when blatant bias or disregard of Due Process is present. All branches
derive their power from the People, and a Writ of Error Coram Vobis is a
common law writ that advances Justice by the power of the People.
8. The Fourth Estate is the press, and Freedom of the Press is a highly
regarded Right by all Americans. The Fourth Estate is often the watchdog
that barks when the fox enters the henhouse, or the Judiciary trespasses
on the sphere of the Legislative, or the Judiciary ignores the Due Process
Rights of an accused Citizen, in an un-holy alliance with the Executive
Branch police powers and Executive Branch prosecutorial powers. Often
the press become Counselors for Law in the Court of Public Opinion
when the Courts of Law fail to protect personal Rights. The Press exposes
public servants, who by the creeping concept of Sovereign Immunity,
become immune to legal accountability to the People in the Courts of Law.

9. Such Press exposure is the case with the Prosecutor of Eddie Bell,
Commonwealth Attorney Paul Thompson. On 17 February 1999, a trusted
informant revealed Paul Thomsonis skimming money from drug
dealers. This revelation came shortly afterThomsons name emerged
connected to a missing woman,a Court Reporter,who attempted
suicide after she had an adulterous affair with Thomson.Was this
information known or presented to the defense counsel before trial?
10. Thomson tried to Sensationalize the Eddie Bell trial and
conviction to gain re-election. Leaders in Winchester dropped a barrage
ofbad press in the newspapers the week before the election so that
corrupt prosecutorPaul Thomson lost by 423 votes in the 2001 election.
Was this honest bad press and electoral defeat information known or
presented by the defense counsel during appeals for Eddie Bell?
11. Within 20 minutes of the 02/17/99 informants report, City leaders met to
discuss what to do about this credible report of the elected Commonwealth
Attorney Paul Thomson violating the law by skimming money from drug
dealers. Being Thomson was a Constitutional Officer, they turned it over
to the FBI. Eight months later Thomson is prosecuting Eddie Bell for a
murder with related drug charges. Was this information about
Thomson known or presented to the defense counsel before trial?

12. On 18 July 1999, Winchester Police Chief Gary Reynolds wrote a
blistering reply letter to a letter from Commonwealth Attorney Paul
Thomson that discussed what a mess Thomson had made of the
Washington casein August 1994 to February 1995, and suggested that
the Attorney Generalof Virginia, or the Chief Justice of Virginia be
contacted about the problems. Was this information known or
presented to the defense counsel before trial?
13. Northern Virginia Daily reporter Garren Shipley on 6 and 7 February
2009, less than two weeks before Eddie Bell is slated forexecution on 19
February 2009, reports various FACTS that were not presented during the
trial, or misrepresented by the Prosecutor Paul Thomson. Was this
information below known or presented by Prosecutor Thomson to the
defense counsel before trial?

14. There is not any Scientific Evidence that positively links the alleged
murder weapon (notice NV Daily reporter statement found the murder
weapon on the second day of a search) to the alleged murderer Eddie
Bell. The Gun Shot Residue Tests have Chain of Custody problems and
inconsistent testimony regarding the sample, NO fingerprints were taken,
DNA involved three persons, so inconclusive. Was this information
known or presented to the defense counsel before trial?
15. Are there any bullet ballistic studies that positively connect the alleged
murder weapon to the bullet that killed Policeman Ricky Timbrook? Not so.
Was this information known or presented to the defense counsel
before trial?
16. Is it logical, or believable, that 50 police officers doing a fine tooth
comb search did not find the alleged murder weapon until the second day?
Was this information known or presented to the defense counsel
before trial?
17. Is it likely police found (or planted) the alleged murder weapon under
the steps of the house where the accused Eddie Bell ONLY AFTER he was
found where he went to hide when he heard the gun shots the night before,
gun shots fired by another that killed Policeman Ricky Timbrook?Was this
information known or presented to the defense counsel before trial?

18. The 0840 entry on 02/17/99 of Winchester Police Department notes tell
of a trusted informant stating that Winchester Commonwealth Attorney
Paul Thomson is skimming money from drug dealersyet has been
redacted, or the name blacked out. The number ofletters that are
blacked outappear to fit the name of Ricky Timbrook, the honest
policeman who was killed just over eight (8) months later on 10/29/99
andjust over three (3) months after the blistering letter of 07/18/99
from Police Chief Reynolds to Paul Thomson about the mess he made.
-- Did the defense counsel ever attempt to obtain a copy of the
Winchester Police notes of 02/17/99 that were NOT blacked out so
to determine if Ricky Timbrook was the trusted informant?
-- Was this information about Thomson reported by a trusted
informant as skimming money from drug dealers, or any follow on
reports, known to or presented by the defense counsel before trial?
19. Several related points over time regarding Police Investigations in
murder cases:
(1) The Police Notes of 02/17/99 are noted DBS (for David B.
Sobonya) and also reveal that Investigator David Sobonya was present at
the discussion with the Police Chief and Deputy, the City Manager and the
City Attorney aboutCommonwealth Attorney Paul Thomson; so Sobonya
-

9/26
knew who was the trusted informant, and so may have accidentally (or
intentionally) revealed that informants name to suspect Paul Thomson.
(2) A footnote by Forensic Scientist Douglas H. DeGaetano on a
Certificate of Analysis dated September 14, 1994 states that on September
8, 1994 Investigator Sobonya tampered with a Forensic Test (Gun Shot
Residue) by terminating the GSR test before all eight suspects tests were
completed, after learning that the Police Investigators prime suspect Jeff
Washington, tested NEGATIVE, which is Forensic Misconduct by
Sobonya. If willing to do this, what other evidence tampering was done?
(3) The Innocence Project of Washington College of Law at American
University profiles the case in Maryland of Bernard Webster who was jailed
20 years due to Forensic Misconduct, yet finally released from prison.
(4) There are factors that suggest in an earlier murder scene an
intact bullet was planted at the crime scene in the murder of drug dealer
Carlos Marshall, in the Alford Plea prosecution of Jeff Washington.
(5) Kristin Black admitted traveling with drug dealer Carlos Marshall
to Philadelphia to buy drugs, and that a white man named Scott had given
Carlos $1000. In the ski mask found in a gutter near the crime scene, there
was a white mans hair fiber, but Police never tested it. A neighbor said he
saw a white man running from the apartment crime scene after the shots
-
7/31/2019 Bell Stay of Execution and Writ Of Error Coram Vobis Stay Ver6
10/26
were heard. Witnesses in the apartment of the crime scene said one of the
gunmen had white skin in the eye holes. Despite MANY clues to a white
man involvement in the murder of Marshall, Investigators Sobonya and
Bailous NEVER found any white man suspect, or one named Scott.
(6) In the Washington case, with Investigator Sobonya, there was NO
Forensic Evidence that solidly linked Washington to the murder of Marshall.
In the Bell case, with Investigator Sobonya, there was NO Forensic
Evidence that solidly linked Bell to the murder of Timbrook.
Was this information, items (1) through (6), known to or presented by
the defense counsel before or during trial?
20. There is street talk that states that there was an improper relationship
between Brad Tripplett and the wife of Ricky Timbrook, and also reports of
a confrontation between the two men. Given the natural and proper
sympathy toward a widow, this is an highly prejudicial issue to raise. Yet,
was this information known or presented to the defense counsel
before trial? Has there been any unbiased investigation of this
allegation to determine its merits? An email on the question:
On February 18, 2009 10:48:05 AM EST ...also sent a note to Gov Kaine
on his "contact the gov" page about the day ricky was
murdered. about how he came by the office to sign his
mortgage papers for their new house but couldn't locate his
"wife" for several hours that afternoon...then, just hours
later he was dead...

we all took photos together outside the office while waiting for
kelly who never showed up. you would think buying yournew house - would be a really important event you would
show up for - or at least be reachable for?
Winchester Policeman Ricky Timbrook was shot by an unknown
gunman on 29 October 1999. Eddie Bell has been framed for the
murder. A simple way of verifying the email below is to check if the
basic premise of the event is true, that on 29 October 1999, Ricky
Timbrook signed mortgage papers
On Feb 19, 2009, at 8:47 AM EST, MARSHA MAINES wrote:The day Ricky Timbrook was executed (not by Eddie Bell)
his wife was unreachable for several hours when it was time
to sign their mortgage papers for their new house. Timbrook's
"partner" Brad Triplett was MIA as well.
Ricky was perplexed. We all gathered outside to take photos of
him with "all us girls" to make his wife see what a great catch hewas..we were all dressed for halloween.
I am for the death penalty - but not when there is REASONABLE
DOUBT ...
The Jeff Washington case was just a trial run - the purpose of the
Bell case is so the black robes and white collars running this town
make sure "the rest of us" DO AS WE'RE TOLD...like sheep...
Why else would Terry Whittle, Chief Clerk state "ohhh running
with the big boys now are we?" when a Quo Warranto andMandamus was filed in Circuit Court last year.
My bet is - if a DNA were done on Kelly Timbrook's son - it would
reveal that Ricky was not the father.
Just my two cents worth...

Would hate to see somebody Die for someone else's crime -
Christ did it once already...
why should anyone else have to pay for the sins of another?
Kelly Wisecarver married Ricky Timbrook, but was she faithful to him, or
are reports of her adultery with Brad Tripplett founded in fact? Is there a
motive for murder by Brad Tripplett if facts prove true? Or may the
murderer be the man helicopter infrared sensors showed in the alley?
In the 19 February 2009 edition of the Northern Virginia Daily
newspaper, reporter Garren Shipley writes, in part:
Residents discuss Bell execution
Murderer scheduled to die tonight
for '99 police officer slaying, barring intervention
Bell's case may not be the buzz of the bookstore, but it does come up
on occasion among the patrons of John B. Hayes Tobacconist in
Winchester, just a block from where the shooting took place.
Patrons there said that, while they had all moved to the area since the
shooting, they do have friends who were in Winchester in 1999 -- and
many have doubts about Bell's guilt.
"I've heard cops say that he didn't do it," said Gary Gerrien, one
of several men in the store smoking Wednesday afternoon "They've
said another cop shot him."
Bell is scheduled to die at 9 p.m.

21. Note the discrepancies between the Eye Witness testimony of Parole
Officer Brad Tripplett, and the other two Eye Witnesses. Two say
Policeman Timbrook gave chase to a suspect (with clothes different than
those Bell was wearing). Timbrook was shot but they did not see the shot.
Trippletts testimony is much the same, yet somehow he very graphically
says he saw Timbrook fall back when shot. How to resolve this
discrepancy of the testimony of Brad Tripplett? Was this information
known or presented to the defense counsel before trial?
22. For a Capital Murder conviction there is supposed to be a standard of
proof beyond a reasonable doubt. With the questions presented above,
is there considerable doubt UNLESS each is definitively answered?
23. Regarding this information being made available to the defense counsel
by the prosecution, elected Commonwealth Attorney Paul Thomson:
"Silence can only be equated with fraudwhen there is a legal
or moral duty to speak, or when an inquiry left unanswered
would be intentionally misleading... We cannot condone this
shocking conduct... If that is the case we hope our message is
clear. This sort of deception will not be toleratedand if this
is routine it shouldbe corrected immediately"
U.S. v. Tweel, 550 F2d 297, 299-300.

Surrender a Legal Right, the Right to Due Process and the Right to Life.

thing belonging to him orto surrender a legal right."
Black's 5th, 594.
Extrinsic fraud: The character of fraud which willafford a ground for
setting aside a judgmentthat is, fraud which is collateral to the
issues tried in the case wherein the judgment was rendered.
Fraud vitiates the most solemn contracts, documents, andeven
judgments." U.S. vs. Throckmorton, 98 U.S. 61.
Actual fraud characterized by an evil intent to take undue advantage
of another person for the purpose of actually and knowingly
defrauding him. Flood v Templeton. 152 Cal 148, 92 P 78.
For the purpose of grounds of equitable relief against a judgment,
fraud which has prevented a party from having a trial, from
presenting, all his case to the court or has so affected the manner

Farley vs Davis, 10 Wash 2d 62, 116 P2d 263 155 AIR l302.
25. Exculpatory Evidence
Due process of law requires that the government disclose to a
criminal defendant favorable evidence in its possession that
could materially aid the defense against pending charges
(exculpatory evidence).
The U. S. Constitution requires and guarantees that In all criminal
prosecutions .. to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in

The Virginia Constitution requires and guarantees Thatin criminal
prosecution a man hath a right to... call for evidence in his
favor. Art I, Section 8, Virginia Constitution
The prosecution has a constitutional obligation to disclose
material, exculpatory evidence. Brady v. Maryland, 373 US 83
26. Immunity claims.
"Qualified immunity defense fails if public officer violates clearly
established right because a reasonably competent official should
know the law governing his conduct" Jones vs Counce 7-
F3d-1359-8th Cir. 1993; Benitez V Wolff 985-F3d 662 2nd Cir l993
"Officers of the court have no immunity, when violating a
Constitutional right, from liability for they are deemed to know the
law" Owens V Independence 100 S.C.T. 1398
27. Judicial Immunity claims.
"When a judge acts as a trespasser of the law, when a judge does
not follow the law, the judge loses subject-matter jurisdiction and the
judges' orders are void, of no legal force or effect.

The U.S. Supreme Court, in Scheuer v. Rhodes, 416 U.S. 232, 94
S.Ct. 1683,1687 (1974) stated that
"when a state officer acts under a state law in a manner violativeof the Federal constitution, he "comes into conflict with thesuperior authority of that Constitution, and he is in that casestripped of his official or representative character and is subjectedin his person to the consequences of his individual conduct.
The State has no power to impart to him any immunity from
responsibility to the supreme authority of the United States."
Judicial Immunity is a special "Law" that judges created, without
going to our elected officials. "The official immunity doctrine... 'has in
large part been of judicial making...'"
Doe v. McMillan, 412 U.S. 306, 319
citing from Barr v. Matteo, 360 U.S., at 569
28. Judicial notice of laws. Code of Virginia Section 19.2-265.2.
A. Whenever, in any criminal case it becomes necessary to ascertain
what the law, statutory or otherwise, of this Commonwealth, of
another state, of the United States, of another country, or of any
political subdivision or agency of the same is, or was,at any time,
the court shall take judicial notice thereof whether specially
pleaded or not.
-
7/31/2019 Bell Stay of Execution and Writ Of Error Coram Vobis Stay Ver6
17/26
B. The court, in taking such notice, shall consult any book, record,
register, journal, or other official document or publication purporting to
contain, state, or explain such law, and mayconsider any evidence
or other information or argument that is offered on the subject.
"Damages will lie in proper case of negligent misrepresentation
of failure to disclose." Such is the case with Bells Prosecutor.
28. Finality of Judgments.
Rule 1:1 of the Rule of the Supreme Court of Virginia All final
judgments, orders, and decrees, irrespective of terms of court, shall
remain under the control of the trial court and subject to be modified,
vacated, or suspended for twenty-one days after the date of entry,
and no longer.
Jurisdiction divests after entry of final order. After an order becomes
final, the trial court, pursuant to this rule, is divested of jurisdiction and
every action of the court thereafter to alter or vacate that order, is a
nullityunless one of the limited exceptions to the preclusive
effect of this rule applies.
Davis v. Mullins, 251 Va. 141, 466 S. E.2d 90 (1996)
However, there is no absolute statute of limitation or 21 day rule on
correcting records:
-

Even if the prosecutor did not knowof the falsityat the time the
evidence was introduced, the failure to correct it upon awareness
thereafter is error equal to deliberate use.
Nape vs. Illinois 360 U.S. 264, 269, 795. Ct. 1173, 1177
3L. Ed 2d 1217 (1959) and
Walker v. Commonwealth 4 Va, App 286, 300, 356
S.E. 2d 853, 861 (1987).
Judgments that are void may be attacked in any court at any
time, directly or collaterally.
Rook v. Rook, 233 Va.92, 95, 353 S.E.2d 756 (1987).
Judgments achieved byProsecutor Thomson against Bell and
Jeff Washington, or others, based on FRAUD are Void Ab Initio.
29. On 31 October 2003, a few years after the false accusation but
nonetheless conviction of Eddie Bell on circumstantial evidence and
conflicting testimony for the murder of Policeman Ricky Timbrook, Justice
Barbara Milano Keenan wrote an Opinion issue by the Virginia supreme
Court in the case of Debbie Thomspon Herndon as Next Friend of Matthew
McNeil Herndon against St. Marys Hospital. PRESENT were Hassell,
C.J., Lacy, Keenan, Koontz, Lemons, and Agee, JJ., and Russell, R.J.

30. Historically, in the case of an infant, the father is prima facie the proper
person to act as next friend; in the father's absence the testamentary
guardian if any; but any person not under disability may act as next
friendso long as he has no interest in the action averse to that of the
infant. Born in Jamaica, the location of the father of Bell is unknown.
...In the case of mental incapacity, a conservator, guardian, or committee,
but if they have no such representative, or if the committee has some
interest adverse to the claimant, they may sue by a next friend.
...A next friend has full power over the proceedings in the action as if
he were an ordinary plaintiff, until such time as a guardian or guardian ad
litem is appointed in the case, but is only entitled to present evidence on
the same basis as any other witness.
31. Eddie Bell has been tested to possess an IQ of 68. By various
professional medical journals that score rates as mild retardation, or mental
incapacity. Mental incapacity often rates a man as a minor even though his
chronological age is 18 years or more. Common use of Intelligence
Quotient is to show the mental ability, if we want to know his mental age,
the Courts may make use of the following methods:
WAIS - Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale
-
7/31/2019 Bell Stay of Execution and Writ Of Error Coram Vobis Stay Ver6
21/26
WISC - Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children
Marrill Palmer Scale of Mental Tests
Vineland Social Maturity Scale
Below from the American Mental Health Association is the statement:
The mental age of mild mental retardation can be equal to 8 - 11.
Given the above, it would be fair to classify Eddie Bell as a minor under
the law, so thereby a Next Friend could intercede on his behalf, as herein is
being done to try to save his life, an action where Bell is the beneficiary.
32. Given the above, Edward Nathaniel Bell, known as Eddie Bell, by Next
Friend, does Petition for a Writ of Error Coram Vobis to have a new trial, or
trial de novo, with a jury of his peers to hear crucial evidence not presented
at the original trial, this time at a trial represented by fully competent
counsel acceptable to the Next Friend, or a Court appointed Guardian Ad
Litem. The record is replete with indicators of the incredible inadequacy of
preparation for trial by the series of lawyers who took and dropped Bells
case before the final lackluster defense at trial. The Petition for Clemency
to Virginia Governor Timothy Kaine dated 23 January 2009 prepared by a
-
7/31/2019 Bell Stay of Execution and Writ Of Error Coram Vobis Stay Ver6
22/26
team of lawyers Matthew R. Roskoski, Robert E. Lee, James G. Connell,
III, Jonathan P. Sheldon and Randi R. Vickers in its 41 pages gives more
than ample instances of new information and evidence that fully warrants a
new trial under a Writ of Error Coram Vobis.
34. Of course to accomplish that new and fair trial with a properly informed
jury, given the EMERGENCY of time being that execution is slated this very
day at 9 p.m., a STAY of EXECUTION ORDER is required immediately.
