GARY ETHERIDGE
Serious Execution date set for June 27, 2002
On February 2nd, 1990 Christie Chauviere and Gail Chauviere were
robbed and stabbed at their home in Richwood, Texas. Gary Etheridge
worked at the condominiums that Gail managed. Gary was the
maintenance worker.
Gary refused to name who was with him at the crime because under
Texas law all parties at the crime can get a death sentence. For
this reason Gary gave the police several versions of the events of
the crime and demanded that the police releases Gary’s former wife
Teresa from jail as she had also been charged with the crime. And
the police had taken Gary’s infant daughter (9 months) and hid her
away from everyone. Gary signed a statement about the crime that the
police wrote to fit what they needed Gary to admit to. This was done
in a deal to release Teresa and give Brittany, the daughter, back to
Teresa. Gary refused to name the other party of the crime. The
written statement did not include that Gary killed a girl. Gary did
not confess at any time that he killed Christie Chauviere. He
confessed and always refered to the robbing and stabbing of Gail
Chauviere but he never at any time touched Christie, Gail’s
daughter.
A few days after the crime Gary had heard that the police wanted him
for murder charges, so Gary was on the way back to turn himself in
to the police and explain that he did not kill Christie, but that he
did stab and rob Gail. The Houston SWAT police caught Gary walking
down the highway and picked him up. The police demanded his name and
were very aggressive. This frightened Gary and as a consequence he
lied and said his name was other than Gary.
The SWAT police put handcuffs on Gary and began demanding answers to
their questions. Gary told them he did not ever touch the girl
Christie but that he stabbed Gail and was on his way to report to
the police office for this. The police were not satisfied with
Gary’s answers, so they took him to the woods and began slapping and
beating him until he agreed to answer in a satisfactory manner. Gary
after several minutes of being beaten and hit agreed to answer in
what ever way they wanted, but continued to ask for a lawyer. The
police did not respond to this.
There were police married into the Chauviere family, Gail’s two
older daughters are / were married to police officers who work for
the sheriff‘s office which the SWAT police delivered Gary to. The
police family members of the victim were there and being physically
restrained and were cussing and threatening to get a hold of Gary.
The police used this threatening situation to force Gary to endure
another four hours of police harrassment and threats and forcing him
to answer questions. In these questions Gary again and again tried
to explain that he did not stab Christie and that he was not alone
at the robbery at the Chauviere home. The police investigated and
sought the other criminal – but Gary refused to say the name and the
police put all blame on Gary alone.
This was when Gary signed the statement that the police wrote to get
Teresa out of jail and get Brittany handed back to Teresa. Teresa
was also pregnant with Gary’s second daughter.
The reason that the police suspected Gary in this crime was because
they found the car in the driveway of the Chauviere home which Gary
had been driving. The car was owned by Teresa’s brother and when the
police went to arrest him to question him on the crime (they thought
he had done it), he told them that he knows Christie and goes to
school with her but that he did not do the crime and that Gary
Etheridge and Teresa Etheridge had bought the car , which was found
in the Chauviere driveway, from him.
Gary has always taken responsibility for his part of the crime in
which he robbed and stabbed Gail Chauviere. Gail is Christie’s mom.
Gail testified at the trial that Gary stabbed and robbed her but
that she never saw Gary stab Christie. Gail also testified that,
when she came home after a few minutes after Gary‘s arrival at her
home, that she saw his car in the driveway and that both doors were
open. This is also a clue that a second man was at the crime scene.
Gail was stabbed with Gary’s small folding pocket knife in a rear
room in the house. Christie was stabbed to death with a very large
knife in the front room of the house.
Gary passed a lie detector test saying that he did not stab or kill
Christie Chauviere; that he only stabbed and robbed Gail Chauviere.
Because there was no evidence at all to convict Gary, the police
created a drop of Gary’s blood that they claim was found on
Christie’s shirt and used this to support their accusation that Gary
stabbed Christie and Gail at the same time in the same room with the
same knife. The drop of blood was found on Christie’s shirt which
was soaked with her blood to a point that to single out one small
drop of blood is impossible. Strangely this one small drop of blood
was the only drop of Gary’s blood found near Christie and no other
blood drops were tested !
A proper DNA test will prove that Gary did not leave his blood on
Christie and was not bleeding until he went outside and the car
would not start. So while one tried starting the car Gary went into
the garage and got jumper cables and cut his finger cutting the
strap off the cable binders. Gary’s blood is in the garage and on
the cables.
Because there is no evidence at all to blame Gary for the murder of
Christie, the police developed a theory and claimed that everything
happened in the front room but the crime foto’s and blood splatters
and Gail herself prove that Gail was in the back of the house and
Christie in the front and it is not possible to stab two women at
the same time with two different knives in two separate rooms by one
and the same person.
The judge in this trial is a judge that has always hated Gary from
childhood on and called Gary all sorts of names when he passed the
death sentence on Gary. The judge even stood up and incited the jury
and spectators to clap and cheer upon his words that Gary is going
to die because he is nothing but a trash.
That judge put lawyers on Gary’s case to cheat Gary out of an
effective defense and to rush the case through very fast and keep
Gary from telling his part of the actual events. Gary cussed and
made a scene when the lawyers refused to allow Gary to take the
witness stand and tell what really happened. Gary wanted to tell the
jury what happened, that the blood drop is not his and that the
police beat him and forced him to sign a statement that they had
written.
The lawyers, the judge forced onto Gary’s case were put on the case
specially to keep Gary quiet, rush the case and forfeit Gary’s
rights and allow the judge and prosecution to get away with all
sorts of improper behaviour and cheating lying ways. Gary was
totally alone against the entire state of Texas in this case. Poor
with no money and no help at all.
After the trial the same judge forced Gary to have the same
two-faced lawyers to make his first appeal – and it was rushed and
ruined as well.
On the second appeal the judge forced a young two-faced incompetent
and inexperienced lawyer (it was his first death penalty case after
final examination) on the case and Gary resisted and filed
complaints and fought for his rights because the second appeal is
the state habeas corpus and ALL PROOF AND ALL CLAIMS must be made at
the second appeal. The judge put this moron lawyer on Gary’s case to
again rush and keep Gary from developing the truth in the case. This
state habeas appeal was rushed and nothing at all was developed and
the court ruled against Gary quickly.
The judge attempted to force the same lawyer to ruin Gary’s federal
appeal and Gary flatly resisted and filed and complained and managed
to find the help of a friend in Luxembourg which hired a very good
lawyer to make a fair and fully developed appeal in federal court
for Gary. This new lawyer did develope everything and is the one
that gave Gary the lie detector test which Gary passed.
This new lawyer also proved how the state cheated and lied about the
drop of blood they claim was Gary’s blood. And that they had kept
Gary from telling the full story and that the police lied and
cheated Gary and forced him to sign the things they had written.
The federal court acknowledges that all of these things the new
lawyer developed were reasonable and should have been developed by
the first and second appeal lawyers. But because they were not
raised sooner the court is not allowed to consider them due to new
federal laws that push death cases through the court very fast and
limits what a convict can claim. If the claims were not made at
trial and at the first and second appeal then they are lost forever.
The judge knew this and that‘s why he put the two-faced lawyers on
Gary’s case to cheat Gary.
Because of those special federal limits Gary’s case was rushed
through federal court and never allowed to be properly developed or
recognized.
Gary was 40 hours from being strapped on a table and killed by
poison injections on November 8th, 2000. In the 11 years on death
row Gary has had very little help and no contact with family or
former wife. Teresa married after a couple of years and is doing
fine. The daughters Brittany and Brandi are doing very well and that
is what is important to Gary.
Gary has also remarried. Claudia and Gary fell in love and married
in the recent year and are doing fine (under the circumstances).
They share as many visits as possible but since Claudia still lives
in Germany it is difficult at times.
Claudia is the one that managed to save Gary’s life at the last
possible moment by finding a new lawyer to file and stop the
executiion since all other lawyers had abandoned Gary after court
refused to hear his case. Claudia made a frantic action and got a
lawyer who saved Gary’s life by filing new appeals to the state
court about these claims. The state court stopped Gary’s execution
and is now considering wheter or not to grant Gary a new and fair
second state appeal which is the state habeas corpus.
The former lawyers ruined the first state habeas corpus and the new
lawyer that saved Gary 40 hours from death has asked the court to
allow Gary a fair state habeas appeal in order to develope all of
Gary’s proof and claims. This lawyer cannot continue as Gary’s
lawyer for free and when Gary gets the new state habeas corpus he
and Claudia will need to be ready to hire a competent and
professional lawyer to handle the state habeas corpus.
The proper state habeas corpus will result in a new trial and a new
trial will result in Gary being punished and sentenced for what he
actually did to Gail rather than for what he did not do to Christie.
