AFFIDAVIT OF MICHEAL VELIE

I, Michael Velie, having been first duly sworn, provide this Affidavit in my

official capacity as a Police Captain with the Grand Chute Police Department.

1. In April and May of 2006, I was a Detective with the Grand Chute Police

Department. One of my assigned duties as a criminal investigator was to

conduct forensic examinations of computers. I was specialized in computer

forensic analysis and conducted forensic examinations for numerous law

enforcement agencies. I served in this capacity from 2002 to 2009. During

this time frame, I conducted in excess of 100 computer forensic examinations

and testified as an expert in court in excess of 5 times. I was promoted to the

rank of Captain in 2011.

2. On April 22, 2006, Special Agent Thomas Fassbender of the Wisconsin

Department of Justice presented me with a personal computer that was seized

as evidence from the residence of Barbra Janda, the mother of Brendan Dassey,

and asked me to conduct a forensic analysis of the computer.

3. On April 24, 2006, I started a forensic analysis of the hard drive on this

computer. During the course of my analysis, I transferred a forensic image of

the contents of the hard drive to 7 DVDs and issued a final report in the form

of a CD which I titled “Dassey computer, Final Report, Investigative Copy.”

Included on that CD was a Supplemental Report that set forth the analytical

framework for the analyses of the Avery, Halbach and Dassey computers. I did

not write any additional reports pertaining to my forensic examination of the

Dassey computer.

4. On May 11, 2006, I returned the computer to Agent Fassbender. I also

provided him with a copy of the CD entitled “Dassey computer, Final Report,

Investigative Copy” and the 7 DVDs which contained a forensic image of the

contents of the hard drive from the computer.

5. All the images on the CD titled “Dassey computer, Final Report, investigative

Copy,” came from and can be found in the 7 DVDs which were copied from

the computer hard drive.

6. The same images found on the CD titled “Dassey computer, Final Report,

Investigative Copy” are reproduceable when the same or similar forensic tools

and techniques are used to examine the 7 DVDs, which represent a complete

copy of the forensic image from the computer hard drive. I used Encase

version 5 to complete my forensic analysis of this computer.

Investigative Copy” that is not contained in the 7 DVDs would be the typical

administrative and procedural files, folders, and techniques routinely used by a

digital forensic examiner during a forensic examination of digital evidence.

The folder titled “Recovered Pornography” on the CD contains images I

obtained from the 7 DVDs and in this context “Recovered” simply means

obtained from the DVDs.

Further your affiant sayeth not.

To: Dean StrangSubject: stipulation project EXHIBIT 36

05 CF 381

Ofciwn JfLTnitifllfl

;

1/25 DATE:8

Dean:

I'm going to take another stab at this stipulation project that we started, because it may influence what we tell Judge Willis by the time the SJQ is submitted Monday (although much more utility for trial planning purposes).

I have reviewed your previous position on witness stipulations, and I think I understand what you are generally going to agree to...now, if we can just reduce that to paper without getting too bogged down???

OK, here's my proposals:

1. I give you a disc (or a couple) that include all photos that I intend to offer. I'll name the jpegs with both the prosecution numbering system, and their "proposed" trial exhibit number. Then we can start referring to items by exhibit number and both of us will know what we are talking about.

2. You already have all documents that are likely to be exhibits (except for those recently generated, or those generated specifically for trial, like expert CV's or summary exhibits). I would like to meet sometime you are around, and have you look at what we intend to introduce, what "proposed exhibit number" corresponds with them, and then we can be on the same page with document exhibits.

3. Regarding items seized, you should already have a very good understanding of what that exhibit number refers to, since we have a photo that corresponds to the item itself (I can't think of an item of physical evidence that we don't also have either a scene photo or evidence photo of)—so those are likewise easy, and we can start calling them by their exhibit number.

4. I suspect it's easier to stipulate to the admissibility of an item or fact, rather than stipulating to the expected testimony of a person—although we get to the same place, the application of the business records exception to the hearsay rule, self-authenticating documents, case law making most physical evidence admissible irrespective of chain of custody (going to weight instead of admissibility), etc, all suggest an easier approach to stipulate to "admissibility of stuff' rather than excusing witnesses from needing to be around. A little long-winded, but I think you get the point.

So, with that in mind, I am asking for your approval of admissibility of the following:

A. Teresa Halbach’s Pap Smear—this was taken by Dr. Brown-Sullivan at UWGB Health Services; maintained by custodian Karen Swan at UWGB; shipped to Beilin Health Center, where it was maintained by custodian Carrie Majeski; and transported by DCI to Sherry Culhane at the Lab, where a DNA profile was developed. This stip eliminates all those witnesses, except Sherry of course.

B. Aerial Photos of the Avery Property—these were taken either by DCI, the State Patrol, or Local Law Enforcement, and all look pretty much the same. Although I'll still be calling witnesses to ID things shown in those photos, it does eliminate Al Hunsader as a witness.

C. PalmZire Records—these records indicate that Teresa Halbach had owned and registered her PalmZire 31 PDA; and that Steven Avery did not own one. This eliminates George Cramer as a witness.

D. Verizon Records—these records are Steven Avery landline phone records (I can only think of 10/31 being relevant at this point). Melissa Marchant, data analyst for DOJ will be testifying about all phone calls as part of a timeline analysis (Steve's cell, Steve's landline, Teresa's cell and Teresa's

EXHIBIT 61/25/2007

landline)...but I don't think these records themselves are at issue. This eliminates Shelly Halfman as a witness.

E. TDS Records—these records are Teresa Halbach's landline phone records, and eliminate Nicole Mauritz as a witness.

F. Cingular Records—these records are Teresa Halbach's cell records, and eliminate Deanna Bache as a witness. If unwilling to stip to these records, will you at least allow us to substitute a "local" Cingular records custodian, so that Ms. Bache does not have to travel from out of state just to authenticate the records?

G. Cellcom Records—I am not asking that you stipulate to Steve's cell records, as I may have a few questions for Bobbie Dohrwardt about what some codes mean on the records themselves—she will be a short witness. Again, Melissa Marchant will be "putting all 4" set of records together and can be questioned about any of the calls made!

H. 911 Call to Calumet Sheriffs Dept, on 11/5—this call was placed by Pam Sturm, she talks to Wiegert. Pam and Wiegert will be witnesses, but this stip eliminates Marie Oosterhaus as a witness to authenticate the call/record...she was the dispatcher on that day.

I. Citizen Photos of RAV4 on 11/5—Pam Sturm will view the photos, testify about what she and her daughter did and saw on the scene that morning—I understand that although Pam was standing next to her daughter Nikole when the photos were taken, that it was actually Nikole that snapped the photos. This stip eliminates Nikole as a' witness. Feel free to interview her to make sure that her testimony would be the same as her mom's anyway.

J. Photos of RAV4 Processing at Crime Lab—these photos speak for themselves, but all the people who "processed" the vehicle will be testifying (mostly by Sherry Culhane)—this stip eliminates the need for Ron Groffy to ID and authenticate the photos.

K. Photos by the Crime Lab at the Scene—John Ertl, who was the Crime Lab Field Response guy, will be testifying in the case...along with him was Guang Zhang who took some photos...again they seem to depict what they show, and Ertl can testify, but this stip eliminates Zhang from having to testify from the Lab.

L. Records from Motorola/Cingular—Teresa purchased a Motorola Razr V3 phone in August 2005 from Nick Walschinski. We intend to introduce the contract and receipt for that purchase. This stip eliminates Walschinski as a witness.

!

M. Intimate Treasurer's Records—Steve and Barb shop at Intimate Treasures, an adult novelty store in Manitowoc on October 10, 2005 (I think) and each purchase a set of handcuffs and leg irons. The receipt for these items, and the items themselves may or may not be admitted, but I'd like to not have to call Ms. Lehr just for that purpose. Stipulation to what she would testify to would be good...and we can discuss the relevance or probative value without her having to be there I suspect.

i

N. Teresa Halbach Dental X-Rays—Teresa had dental work done by Dr. John Krupka in Kaukauna, which included standard "Panorex" X-Rays. These are used later by the Forensic Odontologist, Dr. Simley, who will testify as to ID of Tooth #31 which is found. Stipulation to these dental records and X- Ray eliminate the need for Dr. Krupka.

O. Teresa Halbach's Death Certificate—this is a great example of a self authenticating record, but your stip eliminates Mike Klaeser, the Calumet County Medical Examiner from having to testify. By the way, I'm not asking you to conceed this document's relevance.

P. The Analysis of Steve's Grand Am—this vehicle was seized by Marinette Co. Sheriffs Deputy Barry Degnitz, transported to Madison for processing, where Sherry processed it. This stip eliminates Degnitz, and any transport officers.

Q. Toyota Key Records—Donna Conick would testify that 1 out of every 5000 keys, of the kind found in Avery's bedroom, would be cut to fit the ignition of a random Toyota (or similar testimony)...as I

understand, Ms. Conick is not from Toyota itself, but an insurance research outfit that knows such things. All I'm asking is that if we intend to introduce this testimony, you allow a local rep, with the same credentials, to testify so Ms. Conick does not need to travel from out of state. That local witness would be Larry Burzinski from Valders.

R. Computer Analysis of Steve, Teresa's and Brendan's Computer—Mike Veile, of the Grand Chute PD, analyzed the hard drives of these 3, and found nothing much of evidentiary value. We may wish to introduce the fact that they looked. This stip eliminates Officer Veile as a witness.

S. FBI Animation of the SUV—Carl Adrian, of the FBI in Virginia, did the computer animation of the SUV...if the judge rules this demonstrative evidence admissible, I'd like to avoid flying Carl out here.Like any good cop, however, he's happy to come, so this one is not that big a thing.

T. FBI Transmittal Officers—as you know, transmittal of evidence from Wisconsin to whatever FBI Lab does the analysis is pure chain of custody stuff—those witnesses that could be avoided include Jerry Mullen; Fred Pflueger; Frank Magestro; and Eric Lawson. We would stilt call whoever recovered the evidence at the scene, and whoever the analyst was who looked at the evidence (Doug Hares, Les McCurdy, Eric Smith, Curtis Thomas, or others) if required.

U. DCI Transmittal Officers—transmittal of evidence from around here to Madison usually was done by a DCI person, who may be eliminated with a stip. Those people include Dorinda Freymiller; Jim Holmes; Matt Joy; Kim Skorlinski; and Lisa Wilson. You may have other uses for these witnesses, but I'm hoping transmittal is not one of them—by the way, Tom is examining these wits and I haven't discussed this with him, but you can still give me your thoughts on objection to admissibility as it relates to transmittal people.

V. X-Rays of Cranial Pieces—Dr. Eisenberg, the Forensic Anthropologist, had some cranial pieces x- rayed, with the assistance of Margaret Kessenich. She's an X-Ray Tech only, and I'd ask that you stip to her part. Several experts may have opinions about those x-rays, but I'm guessing the films themselves will not be at issue.

W. Photos Generally—as you know, photos have been taken throughout this case. We've been diligent in getting them to you. Whether at the scene, or of other evidence, they are helpful to both sides. I’d like to agree to have them admitted, so we don't have to worry about authentication (since they show what they show)—but we are prepared to do that if you require. Please let me know if this stip can be reached, because it may not eliminate any witnesses per se, but will eliminate a great deal of unnecessary and boring testimony. These photos are identified in the exhibit proposal I sent you.

There are several witnesses I have decided to cancel and some that I am going to "save" for rebuttal, but those remain potential witnesses and we'll just have to wait and see what the defense intends to introduce at trial.

By the way, although we don't have to list rebuttal witnesses, do you think we should add other Manitowoc County Officers who "may" be called in this case?—what I envision is that the defense makes something out of what happened at the scene, and we call a cop who was out there as a rebuttal witness, and maybe a juror knows them. Now we have the situation that we haven't identified them on the SJQ (because they are lay rebuttal wits), but it could raise an issue when the trial begins—any thoughts about that?

OK, there's my effort for the day—let me know when you can, so we can tell Judge Willis where we are at regarding stipulated facts or witnesses. We'll have to have this done by 2/2 obviouslyl It's a big job, but It has to be done. This and the exhibit list will go a long way to this trial running as smooth as possible. Thanks.

Kratz, Ken

From: Dean Strang [[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2007 3:16 PMTo: [email protected]: [email protected]: Stipulations

Ken - With apologies for the time this has taken, Jerry and I are willing to stipulate as follows. See your own January 25, 2007 e-mail to me for the lettered paragraphs.

A. We will stipulate to the authenticity of the pap smear. You need only tie up relevance with Sherry Culhane.

B. We will stipulate to the authenticity of aerial photographs of the Avery property. Our objections, if any, would be to relevance or 904.03 considerations (perhaps cumulative quality?) only.

C. We will stipulate that Teresa Halbach owned and registered a PalmZire 31 PDA and that Steven Avery did not.

D. On this we are unclear, because we cannot decode the Verizon Records entirely. Shelly Hallman may remain a necessary, but short, witness.

E. We will stipulate to the authenticity and business records foundation for Teresa Halbach’s TDS records. There will be no hearsay or authenticity objections, in other words. We reserve the right to challenge relevance or completeness, although I am not sure that we will.

F. We will not stipulate to Teresa Halbach’s Cingular records, or to use of a “local” stand-in custodian. You should plan to call Deanna Bache as a witness.

G. As to Steven Avery’s Cellcom records, I understand you not to be requesting any stipulation.

H. We will stipulate to the authenticity of the 911 call, so you need not call Marie Oosterhaus. Relevance and 904.03 and conceivably hearsay remain open questions.

I. We will stipulate to the authenticity of the Sturm photographs. Again, although relevance and 904.03 may prove undisputed, we reserve the right to challenge either or both. But you need not call Nikole Sturm.

J. This is the one topic (the necessity of Ron Groffy) on which we remain undecided. Let us tell you that Monday or Tuesday. Since he works for the Wisconsin Crime Lab, I assume that is no great inconvenience. If it is, let me know and we will resolve the issue sooner rather than later.

K. We will not stipulate the Crime Lab’s scene photographs. So you should plan, I assume, on calling both Ertl and Zhang.

L. We will stipulate that Teresa Halbach purchased a Motorola Razr V3 phone in August 2005, and allow admission of the contract and receipt, You need not call Nick Walschinski.

t '

M. We will not stipulate as to Intimate Treasure or its records. If you want to introduce evidence about this stuff, we want an appropriate live witness.

N. We will stipulate to the authenticity of Dr. Krupka’s Panorex x-rays, and further will stipulate that he would have testified that the x-rays at issue show Teresa Halbach’s teeth. The intention is that you not have to call Dr. Krupka.

O. We will not stipulate to admission of the death certificate or stipulate away the testimony of Mike Klaeser.

P. We will stipulate to the transport of Steven Avery’s Grand Am. You need not call Degnitz or other transport officers.

Q. We will not object to a local person, such as Larry Burzinski, offering the testimony you outline in this paragraph.

R. As to Mike Veile, we will not stipulate as to Teresa Halbach’s computer because we may want to offer some of her e-mails. Brendan’s computer is not relevant unless he is a witness or his statements are offered, so that is premature. We will stipulate that nothing of evidentiary value was found on Steven Avery’s computer when the hard drives were analyzed by law enforcement.

S. We will not stipulate away Carl Adrian’s testimony, or the authentication and admissibility of the RAV-4 computer-generated exhibit(s).

T. Other than the blood vial at issue on Friday, February 2,2007, we will stipulate to the authenticity of exhibits transported by the FBI, so that you need not call FBI witnesses solely for chain of custody.

U. Likewise, other than the blood vial described in paragraph T above, we will stipulate to the authenticity of exhibits transported by DCI, so that you need not call DCI witnesses solely for chain of custody. The proviso is this: we will not stipulate away Kim Skorlinski entirely, so if you were planning to call him ONLY as to evidentiary escort, we want him to testify. If he is going to testify anyway about other topics in the state’s case-in-chief, you need not elicit testimony on pure transmittal or evidentiary escort.

V. We will stipulate to the authenticity of the x-rays of bone fragments, without conceding relevance or possible 904.03 or 907.01 - 907.05 issues. But in any event, this means you need not call Margaret Kessenich.

W. We will stipulate to authenticity of photographs, provided none have been digitally altered or otherwise altered materially. Again, we reserve the right to make relevance or 904.03 objections.

I think that covers it all. If I have missed anything, let me know.

STATE OF WISCONSIN CIRCUIT COURT MANITOWOC COUNTY

STATE OF WISCONSIN,Plaintiff, Matofrs’if/Oc cotifi'iV

FILED Case No. 05 CF 381vs.

JAN 30 2007STEVEN A. AVERY,Defendant.

DECISION AND ORDER ON ADMISSIBILITY OF THIRD PARTYLIABILITY EVIDENCE

The court previously issued its “Order Regarding State’s Motion Prohibiting

Evidence of Third Party Liability (“Denny” Motion)” on July 10, 2006. That order

provided in part as follows:

“Should the defendant, as part of his defense, intend to suggest that a third party other than Brendan Dassey is responsible for any of the crimes charged, the defendant must notify the Court and the State at least thirty (30) days prior to the start of the trial of such intention. In that event, the defendant will be subject to the standards relating to the presentation of any such evidence established in State v. Denny, 120 Wis. 2d 614 (Ct. App. 1984)."

Pursuant to the court’s July 10, 2006 order, the defendant filed “Defendant’s

Statement on Third-Party Responsibility” on January 8, 2007. The State filed its

“Memorandum to Preclude Third Party Liability Evidence” on January 12, 2007.

The court heard oral argument on the third party liability issue at. a hearing on

January 19, 2007.

While the parties dispute its applicability to the defendant’s offer of proof,

the leading Wisconsin case on the issue third party liability evidence is State v.

iDenny, 120 Wis. 2d 614 (Ct. App, 1984). The defendant in that case, Kent

Denny, was charged with first-degree murder. At trial, he claimed that he had no

motive to murder the victim, but that a number of other individuals did. The trial

court refused to allow the defendant to present such evidence because it was not

accompanied by any evidence that the other individuals had an opportunity to

commit the crime or a direct connection to it. The Court of Appeals upheld the

trial court’s refusal to admit the evidence, In its decision, the court adopted what is

known as the “legitimate tendency” test. Under that test, a defendant seeking to

introduce evidence asserting the motive of a third party or parties to have

committed the crime must produce evidence that such party or parties had the

opportunity to commit the crime and that there is some evidence which is not

1 The defendant has alternately claimed that the Wisconsin Supreme court has or has not adopted the Denny legitimate tendency test. In the defendant’s June 26, 2006 Defendant’s Response to State’s Motion to Prohibit Evidence of Third Party Liability (Denny Motion), defense counsel recognized that “Denny has been adopted by the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Avery acknowledges its application in this case should he seek to introduce evidence of third party liability for Teresa Halbach’s death. See, State v. Knapp, 265 Wis. 2d 278, 351-52, 666 N.W. 2d 881 (2003), vacated on other grounds, 542 U.S, 952 (2004), reaffirmed on remand, 2005 WI 127, 285 Wis. 2d 86, 700 N.W. 2d 899.” at p. 3. By January 8, 2007, however, the defendant had come to the conclusion that “the Wisconsin Supreme Court has never adopted Denny.” Defendant’s Statement on Third-Party Responsibility at p, 3. The court believes the defendant had it right the first time. The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled in Knapp as follows;

“The general rule, adopted by this court, concerning the issue is that evidence tending to prove motive and opportunity to commit a crime regarding a party other than the defendant can be excluded when there is no direct connection between the third party and the alleged crime.” (Citing Denny) 265 Wis. 2d at 351.

remote in time, place or circumstances to directly connect any third party to the

crime.

The defendant in this case initially acknowledged “that the Denny rule must

be satisfied should he decide to offer third-party liability evidence, other than

against Dassey.” Defendant’s Response to State’s Motion to Prohibit Evidence of

Third-Party Liability (Denny motion) dated June 26, 2006 at p. 1. The defendant

now claims, however, that Denny is not applicable to this case and that the

defendant should be permitted to introduce evidence of potential third party

liability on the part of a number of individuals evaluated solely on the basis of its

admissibility under §§904.01, 904.02, and 904.03.

The defendant argues that Denny does not apply because while the defendant

in Denny argued that third persons had a motive to commit the crime, “Avery does

not propose to suggest that anyone had a motive to kill Teresa Halbach.”

Defendant’s Statement on Third-Party Responsibility, p. 3. The defendant further

argues that since the prosecution is not required to prove motive as an element of

any of the crimes with which he is charged, he should not be required to prove

motive as a prerequisite to submitting evidence of third party liability.

The defendant is correct that since he is not seeking to prove motive on the

part of any other third party, this case is not squarely on all fours with Denny.

Denny was not required to specifically address the issue of whether proof of

0

Page 46: AFFIDAVIT MICHEAL - WordPress.com€¦ · 5. All the images on the CD titled “Dassey computer, Final Report, investigative Copy,” came from and can be found in the 7 DVDs which

motive is a prerequisite to offering third party liability evidence because the

defendant offered to show motive as part of his offer of proof. This court cannot

conclude, however, that the distinction on the issue of motive means that Denny is

not controlling in this case. Denny required a defendant offering third party

liability evidence to show proof of motive, opportunity and a direct connection to

the crime, It does not follow that if a defendant is unable to show motive, he is

somehow freed from the requirements of the legitimate tendency test. In fact, the

most logical reading of Denny is that all three facets of the legitimate tendency test

must be met for third party liability evidence to be admissible. Denny specifically

held “our decision establishes a bright line standard requiring that three factors be

present, i.e., motive, opportunity and direct connection.” Denny at 625. The

evidence offered by the defendant in Denny was ruled inadmissible because it

demonstrated motive, but not opportunity or direct connection, There is nothing in

the decision to suggest that a defendant who demonstrates opportunity and direct

connection is somehow excused from demonstrating motive.

The defendant asserts that Denny should not control because no one had a

motive to commit the charged crimes. The defense does not provide support for

this novel proposition. The court does not view the Amended Complaint as

alleging a motiveless series of crimes. Although the court has gleaned from

representations, made by counsel in the course of these proceedings that evidence

obtained by the State subsequent to the filing of the Amended Complaint may

affect the precise version of what it intends to prove happened, the court does not

accept the unsupported statement that no one had a motive to commit the crimes.

The defendant argues that a Wisconsin Supreme Court decision, State v.

Scheidell, 227 Wis. 2d 285 (S. Ct. 1999) is more analogous to this case than Denny

and should guide the court’s analysis. The defendant in Scheidell was charged

with attempted sexual assault for having allegedly broken into the residence of a

woman in his apartment building through an open window in the early morning

hours. The victim testified that her assailant straddled her body while she was in

bed in her bedroom, struck her in the face a number of times and tried to pull off

her underpants. She testified she identified the defendant, who was wearing a ski

mask with holes for his eyes and mouth, as Scheidell and asked him by name what

he was doing a number of times. Each time she addressed him by name the

assailant hesitated briefly, then struck her again. Eventually, she was able to reach

a pistol from her dresser and succeeded in getting the assailant to leave. The

assailant never said a word during the entire attack. At trial, the defendant sought

to admit evidence of a somewhat similar attack against a different victim

committed approximately five weeks later while the defendant was being held in

jail. The Supreme Court ruled that the Denny legitimate tendency test should not

apply the facts in Scheidell because where the identity of the third party is

( 5

Page 48: AFFIDAVIT MICHEAL - WordPress.com€¦ · 5. All the images on the CD titled “Dassey computer, Final Report, investigative Copy,” came from and can be found in the 7 DVDs which

unknown, “it would be virtually impossible for the defendant to satisfy the motive

or opportunity prongs of the legitimate tendency test of Denny.” Id. at 296. The

court concluded that Denny did not apply to other acts evidence committed by an

unknown third party. Rather, the court reasoned that when a defendant offers other

acts evidence committed by an unknown third party, the court should apply the

Sullivan other acts evidence test, and balance the probative value of the evidence,

considering the similarities between the other act and the crime charged, against

the considerations found in §904.03. Id. at 310.

The court finds the defendant’s argument that Scheidell is closer to the facts

in this case than Denny to be unpersuasive. As pointed out by the State, this case

does not involve any unknown third parties. The defendant does not offer any

evidence to suggest that some unknown third party committed the crimes charged.

The defendant has identified a number of persons by name who he claims were on

or near the Avery property on October 31, 2005 and would have had an

opportunity to commit the crime. Another distinction is that Avery is not seeking

to offer any other acts evidence. Rather, he wishes to offer direct evidence that one

or more identified third persons may have actually committed the crime. This is

exactly what the defendant in Denny attempted to do. Also significant is the fact

that while the defendant is Scheidell did not know the name of the third party, he

did have evidence that the third party had motive, based on his alleged commission

of a similar crime. While the facts in Denny may not be precisely on point with

those of this case, they are far more applicable to this case than the facts in

Scheidell.

The court concludes that the defendant’s offer of third party liability

evidence must be measured by the legitimate tendency test established in Denny.

The defendant knows the identity of third parties who may have had an opportunity

to commit the crimes. They are identified in his pleading. Unlike the defendant in

Scheidell, he is not precluded from determining whether any of them may have had

a motive to do harm to Teresa Halbach. He simply acknowledges that he has no

evidence to offer that other persons with opportunity had the motive to commit the

established in Denny, and the court concludes that it does, none of the offered

evidence is admissible because the defendant does not contend any of the other

persons present at the Avery property on October 31, 2005 had a motive to murder

Teresa Halbach or commit the other crimes alleged to have been committed against

her.

The court acknowledges the remote possibility that an appeals court could

choose to distinguish Denny and conclude that under some circumstances a

defendant could meet the legitimate tendency test by producing evidence of such

probative value as it relates to opportunity and direct connection to the crime that

proof of motive is not required. The court is not aware of any decision from any

jurisdiction which so holds, but an argument could be made that despite Denny’s

“bright line standard” that “three factors be present,” strong evidence of

opportunity and direct connection to the crime might make up for the lack of

motive evidence. After all, Denny, while adopting the legitimate tendency factors

from People v. Green, 609 P.2d 468, 480 (Cal. 1980), declined to adopt Green’s

conclusion that the evidence submitted be “substantial,” in recognition of

Wisconsin’s more liberal policy on the admission of relevant evidence. Denny,

supra, at 622-623. Allowing for the possibility an appellate court might permit the

defendant to meet the legitimate tendency test requirements by offering other

evidence of sufficient opportunity and a direct connection to the crime in the

absence of a demonstration of motive, the court will individually examine the

persons identified by the defendant who could potentially be responsible for Teresa

Halbach’s homicide and the evidence the defendant proposes to offer with respect

to each person, keeping in mind the admonition of Denny that “evidence that

simply affords a possible ground of suspicion against another person should not be

admissible.” Denny, supra, at 623.

The opening sentence of the defendant’s “Alternative Denny Proffer”

suggests the weakness of his argument:

“If the court does conclude instead that Denny applies here, then Avery identifies each customer or family friend and each

member of his extended family present on the Avery salvage yard property at any time during the afternoon and early evening on October 31, 2005, as possible third-party perpetrators of one or more of the charged crimes.”

This offer appears to be an example of the dangers warned of by the court in

Denny.

“Otherwise, a defendant could conceivably produce evidence tending to show that hundreds of other persons had some motive or animus against the deceased - degenerating the proceedings into a trial of collateral issues.” Denny, supra, at 623-624.

In this case, the defendant has not identified a large group of people with motive.

but rather a large group of people with opportunity. The danger of degenerating

the proceedings into a trial of collateral issues remains the same.

1. Scott Tadvch. The facts offered by the defendant in support of his

argument that Scott Tadych may have potential liability are found at pages 10 and

11 of the Defendant’s Statement on Third-Party Responsibility. The offer of proof

does not show a correlation between the time Scott Tadych was present on the

property and the time Teresa Halbach was reported by others to have been on the

property. Other parts of the defendant’s offer of proof place Teresa Halbach on the

property at about 3:30 p.m. Her business of photographing Steven Avery’s vehicle

would have been completed well before 5:15 p.m. had the crimes against her not

taken place, yet the only proof offered is that Tadych didn’t get on the scene until

5:15 p.m. Any claim by Tadych that he saw a fire behind the defendant’s trailer

would appear to be more consistent with the State’s theory of the crime than any

liability on the part of Mr. Tadych. The defendant does not explain the

relationship of the other facts recited to the crime. In the absence of motive,

certainly something more would be required than what is alleged to take the

information out of the category of speculation. Did Mr. Tadych know who Teresa

Halbach was? Did Mr. Tadych know that she would be on the premises on that

day? Is there any other evidence that would “directly connect” him to the crime?

These questions are not addressed in the defendant’s offer of proof,

includes evidence that Mr, Martinez can be a violent man, as reflected in the

reported November 5, 2005 attack on his girlfriend with a hatchet. There are also

had any opportunity to do harm to Teresa Halbach, let alone a motive to do so. He

denies being at the Aveiy salvage yard on October 31 and the court sees nothing in

the offer of proof to indicate that any other person places him on the property on

October 31. In addition, there is no indication that he knows who Teresa Halbach

falls clearly within the range of speculation and far short of meeting the legitimate

tendency test, either as specifically stated in Denny or as it might be otherwise

potential liability in the defendant’s statement, but at oral argument the court was

informed by defense counsel that Kennedy himself would not be a suspect, but

might be offered as a witness to provide testimony against others. Therefore, the

court does not address an offer of proof against James Kennedy as the court

understands an offer of proof is not being made.

Charles Avery. The evidence proffered against Charles Aveiy is4.

allegedly was present on the salvage yard property on October 31, 2005. While he

did not know Teresa Halbach by name, he allegedly knew “the photographer” was

expected to be visiting the property on October 31. The defendant indicates that

James Kennedy arrived at the Aveiy Salvage Yard property around 3:00 p.m. and

no one was in the office, which was unusual. After about five minutes, Charles

Avery appeared from the back of the building. The court is left to speculate how

this somehow “directly connects” Charles Avery to the crime. The defendant

attempts to derive significance from the fact Charles Avery’s trailer home was the

closest one to the location where Teresa Halbach’s vehicle was found, but doesn’t

say what the distance was. It’s the court’s recollection from the Preliminary

Examination that the trailer homes are not that far from each other and that none of

them were very close to the site where the vehicle was found. In any event, the

court cannot draw any significance from the facts offered. This is also true for the

statement that Earl Avery told police that Charles Avery had spoken to a woman

associated with Auto Trader magazine at a time not specified by the defendant.

The facts listed arguably show that Mr. Avery would have had an opportunity to

commit the crime, but there is no suggestion he had any motive to do so, nor is

there any evidence to directly connect him to the crime.

Robert Fabian and Earl Avery. What would be an offer of proof5.

against Robert Fabian and Earl Avery is summarized at pages 16 and 17. As near

as the court can tell, the only evidence that might tie Robert Fabian to the crime is

that he may have used a .22 caliber rifle while rabbit hunting that afternoon and a

bullet from a .22 caliber rifle is alleged to have struck Teresa Halbach. There is no

evidence relating to motive, opportunity or any other type of direct connection to

the crime. The court is not sure that the defense actually intends to offer third-

party evidence against Mr. Fabian, but if he does, his offer falls far short.

With respect to Earl Avery, there is no suggestion that he knew who Teresa■A

Halbach was during her lifetime. The defendant asserts that Earl Avery returned to

the salvage yard driving a flatbed car hauler which could have been used to move

Ms. Halbach’s Toyota to the place where it was found. There is no evidence

offered to suggest that Ms. Halbach’s Toyota RAV 4 was not driven to the place

where it was found. The defendant does not offer any evidence to suggest it was

moved to the place where it was found by a flatbed car hauler. It is alleged that

Earl Avery’s whereabouts in the salvage yard are unknown until Fabian arrived to

hunt rabbits with him late in the afternoon, but there is no suggestion why that

would be unusual. The Avery salvage yard is a large parcel of property. The

defendant attributes significance to the fact that a .22 caliber rifle would be

appropriate for hunting rabbits and it was a .22 caliber rifle bullet that the State

asserts was fired into Teresa Halbach’s body. There is no suggestion, however, of

any evidence to dispute the State’s claim that ballistic evidence matches the bullet

to a weapon possessed by Steven Avery. Viewing Earl Avery’s possible use of a

.22 caliber rifle in light of Holmes v. South Carolina. 126 S. Ct. 1727 (2006), the

fact that the State will be introducing evidence that the .22 caliber bullet came from

a weapon owned by Steven Avery does not alone prevent the defendant from

introducing evidence to the contraiy. However, for any weapons owned by other

persons to be of any more than speculative significance, the court would expect at

least evidence that they were tested and could not be ruled out as the weapon from

which the .22 caliber bullet found was fired. Otherwise, evidence concerning those

weapons would bring only confusion and add nothing to the search for truth.

The defendant also makes reference to a golf cart belonging to his mother

which Earl Avery drove at about 3:30 in the afternoon on October 31 and the fact

that a cadaver dog later “alerted” on a golf cart. The defendant does not elaborate

on the significance of the dog “alerting” on the golf cart, what role the defendant

asserts the cart may have had in the commission of the crimes, or whether the golf

cart used by Earl Avery is the one which was alerted on, The defendant indicates

that Earl admitted driving past the location where Teresa Halbach’s Toyota was

later discovered, but in the absence of any indication as to what time her vehicle

was placed at the location where it was found, that fact does not appear to have any

special significance.

Passey Brothers. A summary of the offered evidence against Blaine,6.

Bobby, and Bryan Passey, all Bryan Passey’s brothers, is found at pages 18 and

19 of the Pefendanf s Statement on Third Party Responsibility. The summary

suggests that Blaine, Bobby, and Bryan Passey may all have been present on the

Avery property at or about the time Teresa Halbach is alleged to have been killed.

However, along with no allegation of any motive, the facts presented by the

defendant do not suggest any direct connection that any of the Passey brothers

would have to the crime, other than the fact they happened to be on the Avery

property. In the absence of any allegation regarding motive, mere opportunity is

insufficient to justify admission of the third party liability evidence.

In summary, with the exception of Scott Tadych and Andres Martinez, the

other persons identified by the defendant may have had an opportunity to commit

some or all of the crimes charged in the sense that they were near the alleged crime

scene at the time of the alleged crimes. The defense fails to offer any meaningful

evidence, however, to suggest that any of the persons named were directly

connected to the crimes in any way. In the absence of motive, it certainly may be

more difficult for the defendant to offer evidence which is relevant and materiala

connecting a third person to the crime. The court simply finds nothing in the offer

made by the defendant that goes beyond the level of speculation.

ORDER
