    Attorneys claim evidence withheld in double-murder trial that sent man to death row

    Norfolk Junior "Fuzzy" Best has been waiting on death row at Central Prison in Raleigh for 21 years.

    In 1993, a jury convicted the now 59-year-old black man of murdering an elderly white couple in their Whiteville home.

    An artery in 82-year-old Leslie Baldwin's neck was cut. His 79-year old wife, Gertrude, died of blunt-force trauma to the head.

    Money was missing from his wallet and her purse.

    The state said Best's fingerprint was on a paring knife found beside the man's body and that his DNA matched a semen sample taken from the woman.

    But now attorneys representing Best are asking for a new trial. They made their case in a motion for relief filed in January in Bladen County Superior Court, where Best was tried.

    They say documents that had been hidden in the state's files shows prosecutors concealed evidence, presented "bogus" DNA results and misdirected the jury regarding the time of death.

    After being appointed to Best's case in 2010, Raleigh attorneys Michael Unti and Sharon Smith received evidence they say had never been made available to the defense: lab notes from forensic examiners at the State Bureau of Investigation, as well as the Whiteville Police Department's investigative file, which included information about alternate suspects.

    Much of the physical evidence in the case – including clothes the Baldwins wore when they were killed- was found in the attic of Whiteville city hall. None of the biological evidence had been properly preserved, according to the motion.

    "I was astonished to tell you the truth," Unti said about learning evidence was being stored in the attic.

    During the trial, prosecutors insisted the Baldwins were killed between 10:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 30, 1991 and 1 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 1. But the motion alleges the state knew the condition of the bodies made that time of death impossible.

    Unti and Smith claim the state concealed evidence that one of two white suspects in the case was seen lurking around the Baldwin's home at a time consistent with the actual time of death and that unidentified Caucasian hairs were found at the crime scene and on the victims' bodies.

    Best's attorneys say despite the lack of evidence tying him to the crime, their client became the target of the investigation when investigators learned he had done yard work for the Baldwins.

    "Once focused on Best, law enforcement ignored key evidence pointing to other suspects and the prosecution opposed all efforts by defense counsel to obtain full discovery," the motion states.

    Unti and Smith say the defense and the jury were unaware that two other suspects reportedly confessed to involvement in the killings and that a key prosecution witness had given contradictory statements to police regarding how much money Best had in his possession.

    The state denied Best's appeal in 1998. Later that year, he filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus in U.S. District Court. Those proceedings have been stalled since 2002 pending resolution of Best's claims that he is exempt from the death penalty on account of mental retardation.

    Unti said a Superior Court judge will determine if the claims outlined in the motion for relief warrant a hearing.

    Neither Whiteville Police Chief Jeff Rosier nor District Attorney Jon David responded to requests for comment.

    Maybe he was there with someone else and they committed the crimes together.

    In Columbus County, another death row conviction faces a challenge

    By Joseph Neff
    The News-Observer

    WHITEVILLE — When Mike Unti and Sharon Smith took the case of a man sentenced to death for a notorious Columbus County murder, they were surprised at the prosecutor’s scant file: 240 pages of documents, a small file for a such big case.

    Then the lawyers started pushing for what they knew must exist – police files, interview notes, State Bureau of Investigation reports and physical evidence. Slowly, the Whiteville Police Department produced files and evidence that had never been given to the lawyers defending Norfolk “Fuzzy” Best at his 1993 trial.

    Six boxes of physical evidence were hidden in a tiny unlit room in the rafters of the Whiteville City Hall. Fingernail clippings, bloody clothes, swabs, slides and other biological evidence had spent years baking in an uninsulated garret in the North Carolina summers.

    The lawyers dug up several folders of notes and reports from the Whiteville Police Department, including a tip about a suspicious car near the murder scene 12 hours before the bodies were found. The car turned out to be stolen. The thief, a habitual felon with a lengthy criminal record in several states, reportedly told friends that he had killed an elderly couple in Whiteville.

    “I am stunned by these notes,” said Rex Gore, the district attorney who prosecuted Best. “I wish they had been given to us. I am sure they would have generated discussion about this situation that I could now recollect.”

    Gore said he never saw the police files. He still believes that Best is guilty of killing Leslie and Gertrude Baldwin.

    But Best, through his lawyers, says the withheld evidence not only entitles him to a new trial, but proves his innocence. His lawyers argue that the crime scene evidence shows the Baldwins were killed a day or less before their bodies were found, a time that would, under the prosecution’s theory, eliminate Best as the killer.

    Gore had argued that Best committed the murders two and a half days before the bodies were found.

    The lawyers’ motion to free Best, filed in Bladen County Superior Court, comes as North Carolina has emerged as a sort of incubator of innocence efforts, with the nation’s first and only independent body dedicated to investigating such claims.

    Earlier this month, the Innocence Inquiry Commission brought about the exonerations of death row’s longest serving inmate, Henry McCollum, and his brother, Leon Brown, freed after 31 years behind bars. Another Columbus County case is working its way through the courts and the commission; Joseph Sledge says DNA evidence proves his innocence of two murders for which he has been incarcerated 38 years.

    Best has always professed his innocence, during police interrogation, on the witness stand, and during his 21 years on death row.

    “I knew I was railroaded,” Best said in an interview at Central Prison in Raleigh, recalling the moment the jury found him guilty. “I knew I was railroaded.”

    Now, nearly 23 years after the killings, the newly discovered evidence is stirring up strong feelings about a case that has languished in obscurity.

    “I know Fuzzy did some stupid stuff growing up, being hardheaded,” said Vicky Best, a sister. “But I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe he killed that couple.”

    The Baldwins’ two daughters still have a difficult time talking about the case.

    “Fuzzy Best was the one who did it,” said Betsy Baldwin Marlowe. “It boggles my mind to think about this. I hope to see justice done.”

    Fear and rage

    For 37 years, Leslie and Gertrude Baldwin met the people of Columbus County on opposite sides of a camera.

    From 1939 to 1976 in their studio over Guiton’s Drug Store on Madison Street, the Baldwins photographed babies and brides, graduates and grandparents, farmers and bankers.

    The people of Whiteville were shocked by the murder of the popular couple, who were frail and in failing health. The News-Reporter led with an editorial “Senseless Loss: Fear, Rage in Our Community.” The Columbus County Sheriff’s Office reported that handgun permits jumped dramatically, issuing as many in the week after the crime as it did in a typical month.

    On Dec. 13, 1991, the headlines carried welcome news: Police had arrested Best, a 37-year-old man with a long history of arrests for drugs, robbery, assault and DUI. Best had been released from jail two weeks before the Baldwins were killed.

    Best came from a very different part of Whiteville. The oldest of eight children, he was raised by a single mother in a clapboard shack with an outhouse in the back yard.

    Best was a slow learner and didn’t finish high school. As an adult, he drove long-distance truck routes and worked as a mechanic at auto shops in Whiteville.

    Newspapers and a knife

    A judge moved Best’s trial to neighboring Bladen County because of extensive pretrial publicity.

    When the trial opened 18 months after the killings, District Attorney Gore painted a straightforward theory for the jury. Best worked in the Baldwins’ yard Saturday, Nov. 30, and returned that evening to kill and rob them. Best took a wad of $100 bills and spent the next 48 hours holed up in motel rooms, drinking and smoking crack cocaine with three women.

    A policeman found the slain couple at 3:40 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 3. A window in the back door was broken, with glass scattered on the kitchen floor, a sign of a break-in. Leslie Baldwin, 82, was lying in the hallway, bludgeoned in the head and his neck slit.

    Gertrude Baldwin, 77, was on her side in her bed, also beaten in the head and stabbed in the throat. A butcher knife was found on her bed.

    As evidence the slayings took place Saturday night, a Whiteville police officer testified that he found the newspapers for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday on the Baldwins’ porch. Mr. Baldwin had a daily habit of retrieving the paper early every morning, reading it and returning to bed for a nap.

    One of the Baldwins’ daughters testified that her mother filled her pill organizer every Thursday; the boxes in the pill organizer were empty for Thursday, Friday and Saturday but contained pills for Sunday through Wednesday.

    And SBI Special Agent Michael Budzynski testified, using a science new to North Carolina courtrooms: DNA. Budzynski said he tested a vaginal swab taken from Gertrude Baldwin and found a match for Best’s DNA at one of six locations he analyzed.

    Perhaps the most important evidence was a bloody fingerprint on a paring knife found on the floor by Leslie Baldwin’s body. An SBI agent testified it belonged to Best. Gore argued that Best had worn socks on his hand to avoid leaving fingerprints; a bloody sock left at the crime scene had a hole in it, allowing Best to leave his print.

    Best testified and denied any involvement in the murder. He admitted smoking crack and holing up in the motels with the women. He testified that Mr. Baldwin gave him a small knife to use in scraping out the gutters, and that he had cut his hand doing so.

    His testimony did not convince the jury, which deliberated 52 minutes before finding him guilty.

    Files reveal suspect


    Best has spent his 21 years on death row reading his Bible and staying fit, walking, doing situps, pushups and dips. Several close friends have been executed; while he tries to get along with all, he says he keeps to himself. He stays away from television – “It starts fights” – and prefers chess.

    His case has moved little since a state judge turned down his request for a new trial in 1998. The judge also denied a request for access to the state’s files.

    In 1996, the legislature passed a law requiring the state to produce all files to death row inmates and their lawyers, a law upheld by the state Supreme Court in 1998.

    When Unti and Smith took over the case in 2011, they used the 1996 law to find tips given to the police and the SBI in the days after the Baldwins were killed.

    On Wednesday, Dec. 4, the night after the Baldwins were found, an unknown woman called Whiteville police with a specific tip: A small Ford was driven through the neighborhood early Tuesday morning with the lights off. A friend of the caller went outside and asked the driver what he was doing; the driver, a white male with dark hair and mustache, identified himself as “Rick,” and said he was looking for a friend.

    The caller gave the license plate number, and police tracked the car to Gary Derrick of Winnsboro, S.C. Two days earlier, on Monday, Derrick had reported to police that a roommate, Ricky Winford, had stolen the car.

    In an interview with the SBI, Derrick said he received a call from a woman named Janet in Myrtle Beach. Janet said Winford had come by her apartment and told her he had “robbed, beaten and killed two people in Whiteville, North Carolina.” Derrick told the SBI that Winford had bragged about killing people in Texas, but Derrick didn’t believe him.

    Winford was arrested in Derrick’s car on Wednesday, Dec. 4, in Louisiana after stealing gas from a station.

    Best’s lawyers at trial, Craig Wright and Harold “Butch” Pope, filed affidavits stating that they don’t recall seeing any documents about Ricky Winford. They said that Gore, the district attorney, said he had an “open file” discovery policy, but in practice only gave defense lawyers limited access to his files. The SBI reports indicate that Gore was provided copies.

    Gore left office in 2010 after losing a primary. In 2013, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor related to conduct in office and surrendered his law license for six months.

    Gore said he opened his files to defense attorneys, but after reviewing court documents provided by The News & Observer, Gore said of his discovery practices: “I gave out more than what the statute required, but it does not mean open file discovery like it does now,” he said. “If I was using it in court, you got it.”

    Under U.S. Supreme Court rulings, prosecutors must share all evidence favorable to a defendant, including evidence that can lead to proof of innocence.

    Time of death

    Police photographs and video of the crime scene are gruesome. A medical pathologist and a retired FBI agent working for Best looked at them and found evidence that undercuts the prosecution theory that the Baldwins were killed late Saturday night, 64 hours before their bodies were found.

    As time passes, blood dries and turns brown, but the blood discovered at the crime scene was bright red and wet. There was a pool of liquid blood on Gertrude Baldwin’s bed. The officer noted a smell of blood and sweat in the house, but no strong odor of decomposition. The bodies had no discoloration or bloating, which generally begin 24 to 36 hours after death.

    The first police officer to the scene noted that both victims were stiff from rigor mortis, a condition that typically disappears between 24 and 48 hours after death.

    Another indication of time of death is livor mortis: blood settling by gravity in the body after death. Livor mortis shows up as red or purple discoloration. During the six to 18 hours after death, livor mortis is unfixed, as the blood can shift if a body is moved. After that, the livor is “fixed” and the blood no longer moves if the body is moved.

    Police found Gertrude Baldwin lying in her bed on her left side. During the investigation, an SBI agent rolled Mrs. Baldwin’s body on her back as he examined her wounds.

    At the autopsy, medical examiner Dr. Deborah Radisch noted “purple-posterior” livor mortis, meaning the blood settled on the backside of the body. Experts for Best say this indicates that livor mortis had not fixed when the agent moved the body Tuesday night, evidence that Mrs. Baldwin had not been dead 18 hours.

    All those factors led the experts, retired FBI special agent Gregg McCrary and Dr. Christena Roberts, to conclude that the murders occurred sometime Monday or the early hours of Tuesday morning. That would be good news for Best; prosecutors said he was in motels from Sunday to Tuesday with women and drugs.

    A faint match


    The Best case was one of the first in North Carolina to feature DNA evidence.

    Budzynski, the SBI agent, had to separate the DNA from the rape kit into two samples: a female fraction, containing Gertrude Baldwin’s DNA, and a male fraction, containing the DNA from a man, presumably the rapist. Budzynski ran tests on six DNA locations: five were inconclusive, but he testified one matched Best.

    This weak match did not produce the powerful, one-person-in-a-billion statistic that DNA can generate. Budzynski testified that the DNA in the male fraction could belong to 6 percent of black men in North Carolina, or about 360 in Columbus County alone. But his testimony was convincing enough that the North Carolina Supreme Court’s decision in the Best case noted: “The defendant’s DNA matched one of the semen samples taken from Mrs. Baldwin.”

    Budzynski’s testimony about the match was “completely baseless,” according to a DNA expert retained by Best’s lawyers.

    The only DNA in the male fraction belonged to Gertrude Baldwin, according to Maher Noureddine, who received his doctorate in molecular genetics from UNC-Chapel Hill.

    If Budzynski had properly separated the DNA into female and male fractions, and there was actually male DNA in the sample, the male DNA would appear at more than one marker, Noureddine said.

    In a sworn affidavit, Noureddine said he could find no evidence of male DNA at the six locations. And the only location allegedly showing Best's DNA was at a DNA marker deemed unreliable at the time by the FBI. The results were faint and barely visible: in a manual published in 1994, the SBI cautioned that such faint results at that DNA marker were not reliable.

    Budzynski admitted in court that he had difficulty processing the DNA in the SBI lab. Noureddine said Budzynski made no attempt to replicate or validate his test results.

    “I find no scientific evidence to support the conclusion that the vaginal swabs contain any DNA other than that of the female victim,” Noureddine concluded.

    Budzynski went on to head the SBI lab’s Forensic Biology Section and is now retired. He did not respond to phone calls or a letter for comment.

    Watching, waiting

    Whiteville Police Lt. Bobby Fowler said he spent weeks looking for evidence until he finally found the six boxes in the City Hall attic.

    “It was hid in a corner in boxes,” Fowler said. “It was taped up, and you could see it hadn’t been opened in 20 years.”

    The boxes contain biological evidence that has never been used in DNA tests. According to SBI lab notes, Caucasian hairs were found underneath Leslie Baldwin’s fingernails. Caucasian pubic hairs were found on Gertrude Baldwin. The medical examiner found sperm on her and preserved it on swabs and slides.

    Given how the evidence was stored in plastic bags in an uninsulated attic for years, Best’s lawyers worry about the condition of the evidence and which items would still be intact. Unti, an appointed attorney, said he will request funding for DNA tests from N.C. Indigent Defense Services. He said if he had the money, he would test everything.

    District Attorney Jon David declined to discuss the case.

    As his case moves ahead, Best spends a lot of time standing on his bunk, peering out the thin strip of a window across the top of his cell. He likes to watch for wildlife: hawks, a groundhog, two bushy tailed foxes running along the wall, a rare white pigeon, a pair of geese feeding, one eating while the other watches.

    Sometimes he just looks up into the sky.

    “You get a certain sense of freedom, just a feeling that comes over you.”

    DNA tests show match to Columbus County man on death row

    Lawyers for death row inmate Norfolk “Fuzzy” Best were optimistic in 2012 when they found six boxes of evidence in the attic of the Whiteville City Hall, evidence not shared during Best’s 1993 file for the murder of an elderly couple.

    The police notes, names of alternate suspects and biological samples could prove Best’s innocence, the lawyers wrote in court filings requesting DNA tests on the newly discovered evidence.

    Those test results are in and give almost incontrovertible evidence that Best stabbed to death Leslie and Gertrude Baldwin in their Whiteville home in 1991. A vaginal swab taken from Gertrude Baldwin, who was raped, contains sperm which matches Best.

    The report from Sorenson Forensics in Utah said the chance that the DNA could come from an unrelated male in the United States is 490 trillion to one.

    Betsy Baldwin Marlowe, a daughter, said she was pleased to learn of the results.

    “This has been ongoing for too long,” said Marlowe, who lives in Florence, S.C. “This has been stressful for the family.”

    The News & Observer wrote about Best’s case in September 2014.

    The murders of the popular and well-known couple shocked the people of Columbus County, located in the rural southeast corner of the state. For 37 years, the Baldwins had run a photography studio in Whiteville, capturing the pictures of babies and brides, graduates and grandparents, farmers and bankers.

    Within two weeks, police arrested Best, who had many arrests for drugs, robbery, and assault and who was recently released from jail. The oldest of eight children, Best was raised in a clapboard shack with a backyard outhouse by a single mother who sold moonshine to make ends meet.

    District Attorney Rex Gore painted a straightforward theory for the jury. Best worked in the Baldwins’ yard one Saturday and returned that evening to kill and rob them. Best took a wad of $100 bills and spent the next 48 hours holed up in motel rooms, drinking and smoking crack cocaine with three women.

    Best took the stand and testified that he was innocent. But the jury convicted him and sentenced him to death.

    After the U.S. Supreme Court turned down his appeal, Best continued to claim innocence. A post-conviction lawyer was appointed, but the case languished.

    In 2011, Raleigh lawyers Mike Unti and Sharon Smith took over the case and developed evidence supporting Best’s claims. Much of the evidence was found in six boxes in a tiny garret in the attic of the Whiteville City Hall, not at the police department or courthouse where evidence is typically stored.

    The lawyers discovered evidence of alternate suspects, one who allegedly told a girl friend that he stabbed and killed an elderly couple in Whiteville.

    They developed forensic evidence showing the murders occurred 24 hours or less before the bodies were discovered, a time when prosecutors said Best was partying in a nearby town. Prosecutors said the murders occurred 64 hours before the couple was found.

    And Unti and Smith cast doubt on the DNA evidence presented at trial, one of the first cases in North Carolina to use DNA. Prosecutors presented evidence of a weak DNA match with Best. A molecular geneticist hired by Best’s lawyers criticized the DNA testimony as “completely baseless.”

    Earlier this year, Unti and Smith submitted some of the newly discovered evidence for DNA testing, including vaginal swabs and slides collected during Gertrude Baldwin’s autopsy.

    The results, recently filed in court, show a match to Best.

    “I’m glad the science has advanced so much that we can have such definitive results,” said Gore, the former district attorney who tried the case. “I hope this will give peace to anyone who had questions.”

    Unti spent four years investigating and preparing the case on Best’s behalf. He said he was surprised and disappointed by the results.

    “Assuming everything was processed correctly and that there are no problems with the chain of custody of the evidence, this a match,” he said.

    Unti said the Best wanted the newly discovered evidence tested. He has visited his client on death row several times to discuss the results.

    “Mr. Best is adamant that he did not commit the crime,” Unti said. “He said the test results are not accurate and that he is innocent.”

    Unti said he will work to examine the integrity of the evidence handling and test results.

    “The reason the state funds the post-conviction process is to insure there is a re-examination of the evidence in capital cases,” he said. “The state wants as much certainty as possible as to whether the verdict is a correct one.”

    Best remains on death row at Central Prison. North Carolina has not held an execution since 2006 because of disputes over execution methods.

    NC Supreme Court orders new trial for death row inmate

    The North Carolina Supreme Court decided Friday to allow a new trial for a death row inmate convicted of robbing and murdering an elderly couple in their Whiteville, North Carolina, home in 1991.

    Leslie Baldwin and his wife, Gertrude Baldwin, were 82 and 79 years old, respectively, when they were killed.

    In a 5-1 ruling, the Court said the state of North Carolina had withheld potentially exculpatory evidence at the time of Norfolk Junior Best's conviction.

    Best was indicted for first-degree burglary, first-degree rape, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and two counts of first-degree murder.

    In 2011, the state voluntarily provided Best's attorney with some evidence. During a discovery phase, the attorney also found evidence “in a storage room in the attic of the Whiteville City Hall" that showed undisclosed forensic analysis, witness interviews, a lab report and names of two alternate suspects.

    “This evidence creates a reasonable probability that the jury would have returned a different verdict had it been presented with the undisclosed evidence,” wrote a majority opinion from Justice Anita Earls.

    Among the undisclosed material was that more than 70 hairs recovered from the crime scene, found on Gertrude Baldwin and underneath Leslie Baldwin’s fingernails, were identified as Caucasian. Best is Black.

    Earls criticized the state for its failure to provide the material at the initial trial nearly three decades ago.

    “We are sufficiently disturbed by the extent of the withheld evidence in this case, and by the materiality of that evidence, that it undermines our confidence in the jury’s verdict,” Earls wrote. “The exculpatory evidence withheld by the State for approximately twenty years was material.”

    Still, at trial, the state presented results of a DNA test that showed sperm found at the scene was a partial match to Best and was about 25 times more likely to have come from a Black person than a white person.

    Justice Paul Newby, who will soon take over as chief justice following a narrow victory in the 2020 election, disagreed with the court's decision.

    “It is unclear that reports of Caucasian hair particles found on the victims would be helpful to defendant. The DNA test implicating (Best) left only a 0.3% chance that the DNA left by the rapist belonged to a Caucasian person.”

    He believes a jury would not have ruled differently if given the extra information.

    “Even if the additional evidence to which defendant points had been available for trial, there is not a reasonably (sic) probability that the jury would have reached a different result,” Newby wrote.

    The Supreme Court's ruling reverses a previous denial by the Bladen County Superior Court for a new trial.
