Wrongful Death Man Accused in Fatal Hit-And-Run Pleads Guilty

The man accused of hitting and killing a woman in Boyle County last year and fleeing the scene of the accident pleaded guilty in the case.

23-year-old Tyler Williams changed his guilty plea in court Wednesday morning, admitting he was the driver in a hit-and-run that killed 33-year-old Anne Duncan of Michigan in June 2013 on a Danville road.

He is charged with leaving the scene of an accident/failure to render aid with death or serious injury, and tampering with evidence, and the guilty plea includes all charges.

http://liarcatchers.com/wrongful_death.html

He is facing six years behind bars and sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 2.

Williams was out on bail, but was taken into custody after his change of plea Wednesday morning.

While out on bail on this case, Williams was charged with possession of heroin, tampering with evidence and shoplifting after police arrested him in a Walmart parking lot in December 2013.

Police say Williams hit Duncan while she was walking on the side of Gose Pike in Danville on June 29, 2013. Williams was indicted in the case in September 2013. He initially pleaded not guilty to leaving the scene of a crash without offering assistance and evidence tampering.

Duncan was in Danville for a wedding with her husband Ron Duncan, who says he was with his wife for the event, but not when the accident happened.

The Advocate Messenger reported in April that Ron Duncan filed a suit against Tyler Williams seeking damages for loss of companionship and future earnings.

Pedophile Tracking Clark County Man Faces Rape, Kidnapping Charges

Frantic parents called 911 Tuesday night after they couldn’t find their 10-year-old daughter who had been playing outside in Winchester’s Quick Shop trailer park. And the urgency to find her was stepped up when other kids said she’d been taken earlier by a man.

When officers questioned some of the nearby kids, there were statements made that the little girl may be with Jimmy Bullock.

Police checked one address with no luck. Then got another call from the girl’s family saying they heard movement inside Bullock’s trailer.

When Bullock didn’t answer, officers forced their way in to find him with the 10-year old who they say had been sexually assaulted.

“He’d cut a hole in the floor of the mobile home and we found the two underneath there,” said Captain James Hall. “Officers removed the skirting and found him and the victim there.”

Jimmy’s brother, Alford Bullock, says he finds that hard to believe.

LEX 18’s Kristen Pflum: Has your brother been known to hide there?

Alford Bullock: “I ain’t no rat for nobody. That’s what the police asked me.”

Jimmy Bullock was arrested and charged with the rape and kidnapping of the 10-year-old girl.

He denied a request for an interview from the Clark County Detention Center.

Accident Reconstruction Toddler Dies in Knox County Accident

A toddler who was critically injured in a car crash in Knox County Monday afternoon has died, officials said.

Kentucky State Police originally reported the 22-month-old had died, but then later said she was alive at the University of Kentucky Hospital in critical condition.

However, officials said the toddler died at 2:05 p.m. Tuesday. She has been identified as Rylan Rose of Barbourville.

The Fayette County coroner said Rose died of traumatic brain injury. Her death has been ruled as accidental.

FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin – Concealed Information Test

The traditional polygraph Comparison Question Test (CQT) detects deceit in response to direct, accusatory questions, such as “Did you stab that man?” However, the Concealed Information Test (CIT), also known as the Guilty Knowledge Test, is a polygraph technique designed to detect a person’s guilty knowledge of a crime.

Illustration

A scenario illustrates how the CIT is used to support a homicide investigation. The body of a victim who apparently died of stab wounds is discovered inside a vacant house. Investigators analyze evidence from the crime scene to identify items most likely to be memorable and important to the perpetrator. The following objects are noted: a broken window used to gain entry; a bloody knife, identified as the murder weapon, near the body; a towel used to gag the victim; duct tape used to bind the victim; and a sleeping bag that covered the body. The investigating agency keeps this holdback information confidential.    

http://liarcatchers.com/contact.php

An identified suspect denies any knowledge of the crime. A CIT is constructed to determine if this individual recognizes elements from the crime scene that only the perpetrator would know. The investigator asks direct questions during the CIT.

1)    Concerning the weapon used, was it a rope?

2)    Was it a baseball bat?

3)    Was it a handgun?

4)    Was it a knife?

5)    Was it a crowbar?

Open quotes

It is unlikely that someone not involved with the crimewould consistently have strong reactions to the key items.

Close quotes

The polygraph examiner embeds the key question about the actual murder weapon—the knife—among several control questions about items not tied to the crime scene.[1]

Key Questions

During a CIT the examiner instructs the suspect to answer “no” to all questions on the test. The actual perpetrator of the crime usually has physiological reactions to the correct, or key, items that can be discriminated from those pertaining to the decoy or control items. It is unlikely that someone not involved with the crime would consistently have strong reactions to the key items. With the administration of numerous tests, it becomes almost mathematically impossible for an innocent person to react randomly to the majority of key questions.[2]

A numerical evaluation of the test data is conducted, resulting in a percentage of decision accuracy. The number of key items tested significantly impacts this precision; therefore, the CIT should include as many as possible. Conclusive results of a CIT with a large number of key items provide a high level of confidence.

The primary goal of key selection is to identify items that are significant and memorable to the perpetrator but unknown to an innocent examinee. A knife brought to a crime scene and used to stab a victim would be memorable to the perpetrator, while a coffee table broken during an altercation may not be. Items associated directly with the perpetrator’s objective in committing the crime make useful key items, while numbers or colors of items lack saliency.[3]

Open quotes

The primary goal of key selection is to identify items that are significant and memorable to the perpetrator but unknown to an innocent examinee.

Close quotes

A rope used to bind a victim is more memorable to a perpetrator than the color of a victim’s clothing or the number of times that a victim was stabbed. Unexpected interruptions in the criminal’s plan also are significant. A valuable item stolen from the crime scene should be particularly relevant to the perpetrator. Key selection requires experience evaluating crime scenes from a behavioral perspective to ensure that items selected for testing have the highest potential for being memorable and salient to the offender.[4]
