The evidence in the capital murder trial of Earl Conrad Bramblett is as

fire scene The Commonwealth's case goes back to the items seized a few
days after the fire at 232 East Virginia Avenue in Vinton. This is where the
bullet-ridden bodies of Blaine, Teresa, Winter and Anna Hodges were found.
Bramblett returns from SC Earl Bramblett spent a lot of time there, but he
had no place to go with the Hodges' home in ashes.
standup at motel room #2 He got a room at the Apple Valley Motel. The
police were hot on his trail.
Questioned early on about the multiple murders, Bramblett allegedly asked:
"why don't you go on and charge me with murder and get it over with?"
They searched his motel room and took a dozen items, including note pads and
scraps of paper, a 22-caliber revolver and some ammunition, plus a pair of
red-handled pliers. The search warrant told police to LOOK for "cutting
tools," possibly pliers.
Winter's Mini-Storage A week later they searched a storage unit that
Bramblett had rented a couple of miles from the Hodges' home. There they found
photographs, audio tapes... more ammo.
If any of that provided proof of Bramblett's guilt, he wasn't arrested then.
Police worked the case for nearly two years before apprehending him in South
Carolina.
Attorneys are still arguing over whether police had probable cause to seize
those items.
STANDUP Meanwhile the defense has summoned Bramblett's sister, Shirley.
She's being flown here from Shelbyville, Indiana, and put up at state expense.
Teresa Hodges' brother, Mike Fulcher, was brought here ten days ago from the
Keen Mountain prison where he's serving time for grand larceny.
As an informant on the D-E-A payroll making as much as 2-thousand dollars a
month, Fulcher may have made enemies in the drug world. The defense will try
to convince the jury that one of them killed Fulcher's sister and her family in
retaliation.
Bramblett insists he's innocent, that he's been framed by police, perhaps
even set up by the Hodges.
The trial starts tomorrow.))
