From the Harford County Sheriff’s Office:
On Friday, June 26, 2015, detectives from the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division, filed murder charges in a cold case double homicide that occurred in Edgewood nine years ago.
Bernard Harris Davis, Jr., 27, with a last known address of Martin Road in Havre de Grace, has been charged with the murders of Waverly Corey Lewis and Randolph Mendon Goodson.
The homicides occurred during the overnight hours of September 14, 2006, in the 1300 block of Gold Meadow Way, Edgewood, MD. At 1:41 pm, that afternoon, patrol deputies assigned to the Southern Precinct were called to the apartment by a friend of the deceased. The friend had stopped to visit when the victims were found inside the residence, both having suffered a gunshot wound to the head.
Patrol deputies turned over the crime scene to homicide detectives and deputies from the Forensic Analysis Unit to process and collect critical evidence. With no witnesses to the crime and little information on a possible suspect, all leads quickly ran out with no arrests.
For the next several years, detectives diligently worked the case, exhausting all investigative leads. Progress on the case stalled and the case went cold. A fresh look into the murders earlier this month sent detectives to revisit the evidence collected and re-interview key people in the case. Through this renewed effort, coupled with new details developed, detectives were able to identify Davis as a suspect.
Davis was served with a warrant for the homicides at the Harford County Detention Center, were he is currently incarcerated on unrelated burglary charges.
Sheriff Gahler remarked, “Cold cases are extremely difficult to investigate, but not impossible to solve. Time may make the trail go cold, but we will not stop until we find the suspects and bring closure to the families of the victims. If you commit a crime in Harford County, we will find you.
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but we will continue to work the case.” Sheriff Gahler reminds citizens that they can see all of our cold cases on our website at www.harfordsheriff.org. “Your tip could be the piece of the puzzle we need to close the case.”
Oh this is rich. It just so happens Gahler is searching old cold cases and low and behold what a coincidence they match up to someone being held on unrelated charges in the detention center.
GMAFB
Keep on hating while Gahler keeps on working!
I hope you’re right about your new information. It seems kinda of convenient to pin something like this on someone whose burglary case is INACTIVE DUE TO INCOMPETENCE. However, if you take a look a Circuit Court Case 12K09002034, you will find that a member of your own Department committed PERJURY, under OATH or AFFIRMATION, in the APPLICATION for a SEARCH WARRANT! Its right there in the Court’s own records. Gahler, are you blind? Are you incompetent? Or is it that you and the State’s Attorney Office approve of Perjury committed directly to a Judge? Seems to me that your Department is Incompetent. Grown a pair and go Arrest Sean Marston……
Man you need to let it go…OK you may have been done wrong. OK deal with it Dude. We all have been wronged at some point in our life. Some are worse off than you. Geez, you realize even if we assume this Marston guy was wrong, that doesn’t make every cop dirty. You probably will say that Sgt Cook from NYSP was wrong in shooting that dirtbag that was running from him. Escape convict , actually fleeing felon statute backs him. Is he lying as well?
You may enjoy your life a bit more if and when you let it go. Just a thought.
I don’t let things go……
@ Give It a Rest
I totally agree that the Soul man’s whining is getting pretty old. What really concerns me about him is his point of view. He knew that growing marijuana was a felony in MD but in his mind felt that he was entitled to do so. His complaint is that, in his mind, his crime was not shielded properly by the constitution. May be he feels that he has a good case. If this is true, he should have not taken a plea, and rolled the dice in the appeals courts. He did not or apparently could not find an attorney who thought that his chances of pushing the envelope would pay off.
People that have strong feelings of entitlement without regards for the legal system greatly concern me. The Soul man felt that he was entitled to grow weed and he did. What really concerns me is where is his bottom line with regard to his breaking the law. Was weed growing his only felony that he was hoping to get away with by hiding behind the constitution? I hope so! It would be horrible if his feelings of criminal entitlement had no limits. For example, what if a person who possessed the Soul man’s feeling of criminal entitlement would have collected a closet full of partially devoured dead midget hookers which he/she were hoping that Law Enforcement would never find out about due to constitutional safeguards. Where does it end? How about NOW!!!
I really don’t care what you think. The search was illegal. That’s my bottom line. It was in 2009 and it certainly is today. My concern is that Law Enforcement think they have the authority to violate the law and the constitution to get a search warrant. My next concern is that the corrupt Judges of your god forsaken county allow it, even in total disregard to case law in higher courts. My concern is that Joseph I. Cassilly is running an illegal terrorist organization on the tax payers dime. That’s why you no longer get tax money from me. Last, my concern is that others may have to suffer as I have. This will not happen as long as their defense attorney sees my case number and the illegal and unconstitutional actions of the criminals in your County’s Court and Law Enforcement. They have no integrity or honor. Remember, those that have taken the oath are bound and restrained by the constitution. Not I. So GFY Open Your Eyes, you have nothing of any value to offer the readers of the Dagger……..
GFY……Good for you?
Yeah, that’s what it means. HAHAHA. Sean Marston lied on his affidavit for a search warrant on case # 12K09002034.
The bottom line should be for you to “man up” and admit you committed a felony. Obey the law and everything else is an un-issue. The sad thing is that you do not regret breaking the law but are upset by the means you were caught. To me that is sad, but as usual we can agree to disagree. Have a good night.
Hey Open Your Eyes, its about time that the Harford County Sheriff’s Office and State’s Attorney Office man up and charge Marston with the Felony he did commit and they are covering up. That’s the bottom line. Your comments are complete and utter nonsense. I’ve already had to pay the price. He’s paid none and committed felony perjury under oath or affirmation to a Judge. He is no better than anyone else. However, because he is a scumball cop he gets a free pass. That’s total BS. Your County’s Court is corrupt and so is your Sheriff’s Department. I hope you agree or everything you just wrote is nothing but hypocritical nonsense. Think about it…..
Oh and by the way, Judge Bowen gave two false statements during the Coram Nobis hearing. First, she said she write an opinion about the case. She has not and I doubt she ever will. I question her integrity on this issue. Second, she admitted to being a member of the State’s Attorney Office, but had no knowledge about my case. This was also false as 1 month after the illegal raid on my condo, me and her had a conversation about Tabone, Marston and where my money was. She answered the phone, “State’s Attorney Office, Elizabeth Bowen speaking”. Now, what does your Candy A_s have to say about that? She is required by law to recuse herself. She has not. What about that?
How was the search illegal?
Go to the court and get the files.
Ahh, so it wasn’t illegal. Got it.
Once again, you and I have been thru this before. Actually more than once. It was illegal. Since you require repetitive explanations of the truth my only answer to you is got to the court. Request the file. Read it. Learn it. Love it. Its the most truthful array of facts that the Harford County Circuit Court has ever had the privilege to ignore. If you can get it off Bowen’s desk……..
Yes, we have discussed the warrant before, and if no information has changed, the warrant was, in fact, perfectly legal. Has there been any changes to your version of events?
My version of the events has remained the same. The warrant was completed and utterly illegal and I don’t care about your opinion. Anyone who says that warrant was legal is just as much of a liar as Marston and Tabone. Now, since you have admitted to discussing this subject before, how come you are wasting my valuable time (snickering) trying to discuss it again? My comments are meant for people who have pending cases against the criminals in your County’s Law Enforcement and Courts. You can claim the warrant was valid all you want. Anyone that goes and pries that public record from Bowen’s desk will find out other wise. Once again, your comments are completely useless to the general public…….
“My version of the events has remained the same.” – Ok good. So we agree the warrant was legal.
“The warrant was completed and utterly illegal and I don’t care about your opinion.” – You just contradicted yourself. If what you stated previously was what happened, then the warrant was legal.
“Anyone who says that warrant was legal is just as much of a liar as Marston and Tabone.” – Or, they actually know a little about the law.
“Now, since you have admitted to discussing this subject before, how come you are wasting my valuable time (snickering) trying to discuss it again?” – Because you constantly bring it up here and you constantly ignore the reality of the situation. The warrant was legal.
“My comments are meant for people who have pending cases against the criminals in your County’s Law Enforcement and Courts.” – I hope these people don’t actually listen to you.
“You can claim the warrant was valid all you want.” – Anyone with even the smallest amount of legal knowledge would claim it was valid.
“Anyone that goes and pries that public record from Bowen’s desk will find out other wise.” – Or, they wont.
“Once again, your comments are completely useless to the general public…….” – Hmm, so you are saying the public does not want to read the truth?
Have a nice day.
Paul Mc – Paul you are a complete and utter MORON. You dissect a persons comments and insert your crap where ever you feel. You have absolutely nothing of any importance to say to the good people of Harford County. So your goal is to be a clown. You are without a doubt, not anyone with a legal background. The warrant is, was and will always be illegal. You can lie to whom ever you want, but you will never get me to agree with anything you say. Two REAL lawyers have claimed the warrant was in fact totally illegal, yet your court system wouldn’t accept this fact. Edward Thomas Maxwell Jr. and Allan Rombro. That’s right, the son of the Baltimore City Judge. Your court system is completely and utterly corrupt. You can never change this no matter how long you lie……
“Paul you are a complete and utter MORON. ” – I’m so sad that you are so mad.
“You dissect a persons comments and insert your crap where ever you feel.” – Ain’t freedom a wonderful thing?
“You have absolutely nothing of any importance to say to the good people of Harford County. ” – If you don’t like what I say, you don’t have to respond.
“So your goal is to be a clown. ” – No, you handle that very well.
“You are without a doubt, not anyone with a legal background.” – So sorry you are wrong about that as well.
“The warrant is, was and will always be illegal.” – Yet, it held up in court, go figure.
“You can lie to whom ever you want, but you will never get me to agree with anything you say. ” – I am so sorry you are so adverse to the truth.
“Two REAL lawyers have claimed the warrant was in fact totally illegal, yet your court system wouldn’t accept this fact.” – Hmm, I, as a REAL lawyer, disagree with them (and the court, somehow, agrees with me).
“Edward Thomas Maxwell Jr. and Allan Rombro.” – They obviously were wrong as the warrant was valid.
“That’s right, the son of the Baltimore City Judge.” – Wow, a son of a judge was wrong.
“Your court system is completely and utterly corrupt.” – Or, it is not corrupt and the warrant was legal.
“You can never change this no matter how long you lie……” – Im not lying. I have no dog in the fight. You are the one that has the bias.
Anyways, have a nice day.
Well Paul, since 2013 a warrantless dog sniff on a home was considered illegal as mandated by SCOTUS. Sean Marston had no legal grant of entry to enter a locked and secure building to do a warrantless dog sniff in 2009, which was illegal since, lets see, forever. First he claims that the building was an open air apartment building, or implied it by leaving facts out in his application for a search. These omissions of details are an obvious violation of Md. CRIMINAL LAW Code Ann. § 9-101, Perjury and §9-302, Obstruction of Justice. At the Coram Nobis hearing, he claimed he randomly rang buzzers until someone let him in. This was a violation of rules adopted by Espinoza v. State, 454 S.E.2d 765 (Ga. 1995). Maryland, with all its wisdom, has never challenged this ruling in any case law. Furthermore, Judge Carr would not allow a Suppression Hearing, as according to both Maxwell and Rombro. The warrant was illegal Paul. Go crow somewhere else and stop lying to the readers of the Dagger. If you are a lawyer, you are either a corrupt one or a bad one……… Paul, I’m not mad. I gave that up 3 years ago. I just believe that the citizens of Harford County deserve better than mouli’s like you. There is nothing you can do to make me mad…….
“Well Paul, since 2013 a warrantless dog sniff on a home was considered illegal as mandated by SCOTUS.” – There are exceptions to warrantless searches, one of which is if a resident allows the search. You have previously stated that someone that lived there allowed them access to the common area of the home, thereby making the search legal.
“Sean Marston had no legal grant of entry to enter a locked and secure building to do a warrantless dog sniff in 2009, which was illegal since, lets see, forever. “- So when you previously said he was given access by someone, you were lying?
“First he claims that the building was an open air apartment building, or implied it by leaving facts out in his application for a search.” Did he claim it or imply it?
“These omissions of details are an obvious violation of Md. CRIMINAL LAW Code Ann. § 9-101, Perjury and §9-302, Obstruction of Justice.” Not really so obvious.
“At the Coram Nobis hearing, he claimed he randomly rang buzzers until someone let him in.” – I haven’t read the transcript of what transpired at the hearing so I do not know if that is what he said or not. Of course, that is not what you previously stated where you said a CI allowed him in.
“This was a violation of rules adopted by Espinoza v. State, 454 S.E.2d 765 (Ga. 1995). Maryland, with all its wisdom, has never challenged this ruling in any case law. ” – You do realize the the Supreme Court of Georgia does not decide the law in Maryland, right? A defendant in Maryland would need to challenge the search and could offer offer the Georgia decision as persuasive authority, but really, Maryland could simply ignore the Georgia decision.
“Furthermore, Judge Carr would not allow a Suppression Hearing, as according to both Maxwell and Rombro. ” – He wouldn’t allow one?
“The warrant was illegal Paul.” – Or it wasn’t.
“Go crow somewhere else and stop lying to the readers of the Dagger. ” You are the one that has been lying.
“If you are a lawyer, you are either a corrupt one or a bad one………” – Im so sad you feel this way.
“Paul, I’m not mad. I gave that up 3 years ago. I just believe that the citizens of Harford County deserve better than mouli’s like you. There is nothing you can do to make me mad……. ” – You still seem mad to me.
I’m going on Marston’s testimony Paul. If you are a lawyer, please identify yourself. That way the public will know who not to call if they have legal issues. I’m sure the Attorney Grievance Commission would love to know that some hair brained attorney is going completely against the mandates of SCOTUS. Paul, either identify yourself or please crawl back to the hole you popped out of……
Oh and Paul, there is no exceptions for a resident to allow a dog sniff on a neighbor’s condo. Warrantless dog sniffs are illegal on any residence, as the dog sniff is a trespass to whomever the dog signals upon, no matter how they got in. Get that thru your thick skull. That is the current law. In 2009, it was a grey area, however, Marston’s testimony claims that he had no legitimate Right of Entry. I believe someone he knew or was tricking let him in. Someone who he will not identify as a CI, because he did not keep files on his CIs as mandated by DOJ guidelines……
Paul if you don’t believe that Carr wouldn’t allow a Suppression Hearing, please call (410)760-1485 and ask Maxwell yourself. Tell him Adam sent you. Maybe he will give me a referral fee like he did when I was a Bail Bondsman. Oooops, I wasn’t supposed to say that, was I? Or you could call (410)590-9500 and ask for Allan.
Sean Marston committed Perjury on case # 12K09002034.
Hey man…. that wasn’t me. Have a wonderful evening!
Even if you two aren’t the same person, you’re one and the same…….
Man you need to let it go…OK you may have been done wrong. Ok deal with it Dude. We all have been wronged at some point in our life. Some are worse off than you. Geez you realize even if we assume this Marston guy was wrong, that doesn’t make every cop dirty. You probably will say that Sgt Cook from NYSP was wrong in shooting that dirtbag that was running from him. Escape convict , actually fleeing felon statute backs him. Is he lying as well?
You may enjoy your life a bit more if and when you let it go. Just a thought.
Agreed. The SoulCrusher Show seems to be stuck in re-runs…even worse than that WaWa guy. Do you have any new material?
The SoulCrusher show is stuck on the truth…….
….Soulcrusher channel is stuck on Soulcrusher…. …. like a bad infomercial…. it’s on for hours.
Well, it seems to me that you are stuck on a lie. That lie will turn into lye. It will burn you, I promise………
….did you make that up yourself? Very clever.
Hey AJ, Sean Marston Committed Perjury in the application for a search and seizure warrant in case # 12K09002034. I will put that on here every time I see you have made a post. From now until the end of time. Get over yourself, I’ll be right here doing this for as long as Marston is a cop. End of discussion.
Hahahaha! That’s delightful!! I love John Marston…. not much of a swimmer though….
Please refer to my previous comment. It specifically says Sean……
Wonder twin powers! Activate!!
Ok, I’ll play along. Form of a testicle…….
How did Sean Marston commit perjury on the search warrant?
Been thru this with you before. Go get the Coram Nobis and read it. If you can get it off Bowen’s desk.
To the best of my knowledge, you have never stated on here how he committed perjury.
Incorrect, I’ve explained to you, or whomever is using your screen name, more than once. Go to the court and get the file.
I don’t believe you have ever explained how he actually committed perjury. However, I do know we discussed your incorrect interpretation of the basis for the warrant a few times.
Sgt. Cook had every right to shoot David Sweat in the back twice as he was a fleeing felon, who has committed an escape from prison, while being convicted of murder. I do believe he killed a Law Enforcement Officer. You are comparing apples to oranges. Do you actually think about what you’re typing? Are you capable of critical thinking at all? Once again, your comment is an indictment against the American educational system.
Great job Gahler. Keep up the good work.
One would think that with all the money the Sheriff’s department receives they could afford better lighting or at least a flash for the camera. The white guy in the photo almost looks black. We know black people from Havre de grace don’t commit crimes in Edgewood..
I guess they didn’t need the SWAT team to serve that warrant. I bet it made somebody’s day when they realized where he was.
