Jonathan Smith walks free after 21 years of wrongful imprisonment
Ms Haddaway made a secret deal with the prosecutors and the prosecutors did not reveal this. But did she lie?What this article forgets to mention is that Ms Haddaway wore a wire and got Jonathan Smith on tape that he committed the murder in order to get $60000 [1]. Here's part of the dialog for reader's convenience:"[BH:]Why  were  you  in  that  field  with  blood  all  over ya?  And they take, I seen ya goin’up the road that day, you know it?  And you had a blue coat on and Ray [Andrews] and you both had huntin’hats on.  And then when I come back by there and you were in that cornfield and you said that blood come off a dog, but I think that you held her and David [Faulkner] killed her or one of you three done it.[JS:]They never found out yet have they?[BH:]I know, that’s why I want to know ‘fore I die.  I seen ya, did I ever tell anybody?  You know I ain’t gonna tell  on  ya,  goddamn,  you’re  my  blood.    I  just  wanted  to know if you done it.  I didn’t really think you did.  I think crazy David did[JS:]It’s  a  secret.    It’s  a  secret  when  one  person knows[.]  It aint [sic] a secret when two people know.[BH:]Well, the three of you know.[JS:]Right, there’s only two left.[BH:]It was you and Ray and David.[JS:]Ray wasn’t there until after it was over.[BH:]Where was he?[JS:]Down the road.[BH:]Ray was right with you in the goddamn field.[JS:]Yeah.  That was after it was all done with....[BH:]  Tell me.   I ain’t gonna tell nobody, I just want to know (inaudible).[JS:]He didn’t do it.[BH:]You done it.[JS:]Uh huh.[BH:]You said you did it before.  Why did you kill her?  I thought she let you in there when you went fishin’[.]... What, you didn’t know her?[JS:]I knew she had money.[BH:]You knew she had money.[JS:]She had money."[1] https://www.courts.state.md.us/sites/default/files/unreporte...
