Version of Brian Kevin Dowling: Case summary and issues
(As stated in legal documents:)
What his lawyer says
When Myers was later found murdered, suspicion turned almost exclusively to Petitioner,
with the authorities ignoring other likely suspects including: an admiited robber with an identical modus operandi to the perpetrator and who was then on the loose; the victim's husband who "discovered" the body and (...) the disgruntled former business partner."
What his supporters say
They say:
John has been hampered throughout by inadequate legal representation;
he is indigent and dependent upon the registry lawyers. When we introduced ourselves (politely) to John’s current lawyer, we were met with open rudeness and told never to believe what any death row prisoner said and never to write to him again. John himself is barely on speaking terms with this lawyer, who has stated his determination to ‘get the job finished’
