Who told you he was innocent? It never happened! No, we cant. Even a cursory reading of his support materials makes it obvious why none of the innocence projects will take his case. If you have a specific comment and question, please post it on the website http://www.richardlyon.org and we will be happy to address it. But it was a bizarre coincidence. Imagine if you were an innocent man who has spent 27 years in prison. Another was the emergency doctor when she was dying. Who cares if There is no PHYSICAL evidence that directly links Richard to sneaking poison into his wifes beverages. The truth of that could mean that there was other, more compelling, evidence to convince the jury (As there was). Parole was denied on 03/01/2021. I dont agree that, in the USA, juries are more likely to wrongfully acquit than convict. Says he was a model prisoner. My aunt was in ICU at the time and thats why I was there. That makes no sense. The powerful family had to make someone responsible and answer for it, and as always, TX seems to look at the spouse. Even if irrefutable evidence comes to light after he/she is acquitted, that person can never be charged again! I can understand how a friend or family member can believe their loved one is innocent. But nobody. Of course, I have seen some DAs who do care if the defendant is innocent. Michigan lacks the death penalty but life usually means life without an outright exoneration. Then, theres the empty capsules found at Richards, and especially the bogus so-called-receipt, that Nancy supposedly signed, for a number of poisons, that Richard found. Granted, that makes him a disgusting person but not necessarily a murderer.. Well I do hope their uncle did not destroy the childrens innocence. But Nancy said the HOSPITAL was trying to systematically poison her? Very glad to hear hes still behind razor wire. I cannot pretend to know what happened between Richard and Nancy, but I believed then, as now, that Richard loved her once as deeply as he must have grown to hate her. While the rest of us have the opinion he is guilty. Call it innocent by reason of successful cover-up. She passed away in 2009. Youre crazy (or stupid) if you believe that. Update on July 11, 2018: Two corrections were made to the post the website asks for legal help, not monetary donations, and the site itself was created by supporters, according to a representative for Friends of Richard Lyon. He determined the diary entries about Nancys brother were forgeries created by Richard. Not a very well-made movie. This scenario was found less likely than that she was poisoned which is reasonable and with which I agree. You are a fool. Richard Lyon was born on April 22, 1957 to a middle class family of five children in Connecticut. I say keep the arrogant a hole in prison indefinitely. So glad to hear they are both doing well and that their mothers design talent was passed down thanks much for writing in! I was wondering how they were doing! This is such a tragic case for all involved. At some point, he switched to arsenic, which he probably put in her food and a bottle of wine left anonymously on their porch. He is innocent. The one that requires the least speculation is usually better. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharee_Miller. He concluded that Richard was the one who wrote that to try and cover up his crime. I thinking itS obvious he killed her..What about the pills found at that rented flat? We judge, society judges. That I have been 6 times is implausable, yet true. It would behoove people to actually read the trial transcripts and think. And Leslie is correct. She passed away in 2009. All of us are sinners and fall short of the glory of our Heavenly Father and his dear son Jesus Christ. Nancys death was accidental and preventable. I no longer wondered if he had killed her. Never loved her. Your email address will not be published. He became eligible for parole 15 years later in 2006. She loved him unconditionally and he latched onto her for his own gain. Talk about clutching at straws! In 1991 Nancy Dillard Lyon, daughter of a powerful Dallas real estate tycoon, was murdered, poisoned with arsenic. How ridiculous! All the evidence against him and he still wont fess up to his crime. You also dont accidentally forge documents. Not all cases are such. Who cares if he/she is innocent? To determine who wrote the note, police sent it to Hartford Kittel who examined the note by taking samples of Richard and Nancy's known writing. It was determined that Richard wrote the notes about her brother. But he did not kill his wife. Dont drop the soap Richie!! As we seen many times. Nancy told her doctor about the times she already believed Richard drugged her: the pop at the movie, a nightcap that left her severely sick on the bathroom floor, not to mention those vitamins that made her sick. Watch the Forensic Files episode on YouTube. Excellent! Dear RR: I will continue to post rebuttals to your blog post, which should have a disclaimer that it is an OPINION piece, borderline FICTION. I believe they definitely got it right in this case, but how many times have you heard people say, Where theres smoke, theres fire. But I wouldnt be surprised if he has some fool acting on his behalf. After being treated as Royalty by Texas Securities top enforcement dog, Joe Rotunda and the lose way in which the law suit was handled by the SEC, the only thing that might come as a surprise is that Joe (Rotunda) and Jay (Oman, Deputy Director of Enforcement) did not give Couch a ride to the airport., One of our clients, I understand, made repeated request to both agencies to seize or freeze Couchs assets, to stop the selloff of investors assets and take measures to prevent his leaving the country. It could have been slow suicide but it would be odd, then, to be complaining for weeks before death of headaches and nausea, never mind that it would be a serious clue that one needed to up the dose, as well as being a severely unpleasant way for a person to take their life. Required fields are marked *. Thats all for this post. Inconclusive. He posed a continued threat to public safety, according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. That Richard should rot in jail when he dies, should rot in hell. OBVIOUSLY, he created it. Nancys death was a tragic accident. They MAY make his attempt to cheat the law by murder a little more plausible, but you press them too much. Folks, its Camelot. She thought the affair might just blow over. How does all that coincide with your accidental death theory??? Personally, I think that any statements given by the victim SHOULD be admitted in court; the defence can attack credibility, just like any other witness. No longer her brothers or her colleagues as he tried to imply when he testified in his own defense? Your email address will not be published. You dont accidentally fill capsules with poison (and the empty capsules were in his apartment), and you dont accidentally take a severe poison over a long period of time. Without going further, there are questions regarding both of those pieces to include the actions of the DA. The supposed third party needed motive AND opportunity. You have to show remorse. It wasnt a third party because: He is right where he belongs and that is in prison. Thats a ridiculous statement. We may be all sinners but not all of us commits murder. In my view there is too little doubt to permit acquittal, but I accept that this wasnt quite a slam-dunk. Many doctors discount what their patients say, and hospital staff are often overworked with little sleep. I noticed that The Friends of Richard Lyons does that.

Plenty of husbands cheat via affairs. It was Richard who supplied the bogus/forged receipt showing Nancy buying the arsenic (no one has a motive for that, except Richard). The two purposely tweaked their handwriting so it looked similar enough that he could get away with handing in papers shed written for him. It is being revised and will be back up by spring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7rEfV67630. And then there was the grandfather who gave his son a pass about the whole thing!!

The grieving husband also showed authorities an anonymous letter Nancy had received; it threatened violence if she went ahead and testified against a former colleague named David Bagwell who allegedly embezzled $720,000 from Trammell Crow.

They took three hours to find Richard Lyon guilty of first-degree murder. My state is only slightly better. Lili: How terrible that you were poisoned, and I hope you have properly recovered. The truth is, there is just far too much that cant be explained away. Its why we might DISAGREE with the jury that were more controversial and such opinion comes with the caveat that they heard (and saw) the evidence not us so, other things being equal, theyre more likely to be correct. More importantly, someone seems to put an awful lot of pressure on people to not take the case or talk about it. Perhaps we should have a new category of not guilty by reason of successful cover-up.. But I doubt that that would have succeeded here. She was hard-working and practical. Thanks. Her husband claimed she purchased the poison to get rid of some fire ants in her yard. To say this was accidental is absolute insanity. Then the police found a shocking note which Nancy wrote accusing her older brother Bill of sexually abusing her as a child. Theres always someone.

Wonder if anybody in CT connected the dots. He will never say he is guilty because he is not. he could inherit her money and status in the community Interesting thought, that predators are stealing status, along with material spoils.
