Did Ashley Smith know alleged courthouse shooter Brian Nichols before March 11? Probably not.

by @ 5:58 pm. Filed under Questionable Items

A friend of Brian Nichols says that Brian has told him that he did know Ashley Smith before that deadly day in March. But this friend has a suspect past and investigations of a relationship turned up nothing.

You can watch the video report, that includes Brian Nichols’ friend Maurice Lovemore and Ashley Smith here.

For a moment it leads one to think maybe there was some connection that nobody knew about. And hearing quotes about Ashley doing drugs with him like:

How many crack heads do you know that’s gonna allow you to get high in front of them on their supply? Come on man…

It sounds convincing. However, all investigations done by police to determine a link between the two have come up empty!

Investigators doubtful Nichols knew Smith

Gwinnett County police invested hours of detective work scouring Smith’s background. Investigators specifically searched for any evidence that she had known Nichols before the courthouse shooting suspect held her hostage.

They found none.

“She was very honest and forthcoming,” said Gwinnett County Detective Steve Shaw. “There’s no indication they crossed paths.”

Shaw, who said Smith told police she gave drugs to Nichols during the ordeal, says he combed through Smith’s whereabouts going back several years. He cross-examined that information with Nichols’ past, hunting for any link between them.

“It’s nonexistent,” he said.

Also how credible an individual is Maurice Lovemore? Not very credible at all!

DeKalb County court records indicate Lovemore was the defendant in a 2003 child-support case there. According to records, the case wrapped up with a judge ordering monthly child support payments of $179. No contact information for the child’s mother was listed in court documents. Fulton County court records show a 1998 civil judgment in the amount of $400. Lovemore apparently owed a Knoxville towing company, records show.

A search of public records databases indicates Lovemore may have used a number of last names, including Jones, Harris and Harrison. The last name of the child for whom Lovemore was ordered to pay child support is Harrison, according to the DeKalb court records.

Shaw says he doubts the story Lovemore told on television.

“My personal opinion is whoever this guy is on TV was just running his mouth,” Shaw said. “It sounds like somebody’s looking for their 15 minutes of fame.”

Gwinnett District Attorney Danny Porter said Smith was interviewed both at the scene and in the office, and was consistent throughout the questioning.

“There’s no evidence that shows they knew each other,” Porter said.

So the story has no provable basis in fact and the man telling the story is known to have used multiple aliases. I think an event like Brian Nichols coming to your house with a gun is enough to make any drug junkie kick the habit!

OK, now that this bogus claim has been put to rest, I just wish the trials would wrap up quickly so when if Brian Nichols is found guilty he can be put on death row where he belongs! And when if he ends up on death row I hope his stay is a short one!

And I must say, a 51 year-old grandmother working as a sheriff’s deputy is a prime example of why state imposed “diversity” is simply a bad idea. Let THE BEST have the job regardless of what they look like. So what if they all might be young men! I’m very sad that a beast beat her like that, but I don’t think any 51 year old grandmothers would qualify as “the best” when it comes to Sheriff’s Deputy applicants! The whole mess started with her being beaten and her pistol stolen…allegedly by Brian Nichols.
