    Death row inmate is attempting to challenge his guilty conviction

    By Aaron Dixon
    WDHN

    HOUSTON COUNTY, Ala. — A man on death row convicted of killing 3 people at Teasers’ Gentlemen’s Club is trying to challenge his conviction.

    Ryan Petersen returned to a Houston County Courtroom, after serving almost 6 years at Holman Prison in Atmore, Alabama.

    Two new attorneys have taken over Petersen’s case and are looking to see if there could be a chance at challenging the verdict, with a Rule 32 petition.

    A Rule 32 petition would allow Petersen to challenge the guilty verdict in his case t through trial court, but this has been put on hold until attorneys have time to review the case which has more than 40 volumes of material.

    Petersen’s attorneys were granted more time by the judge.

    Judge Todd Derrick continued Petersen’s next hearing to December 6th at 1:30 p.m. to give the lawyers that time.

    Petersen is currently in Houston County Jail, but according to court records will be transported back to Holman Prison in the coming days.

    Petersen was arrested after the August 9, 2012 shootings at Teaser’s, a gentleman’s club located in the Wicksburg community.

    Among those killed was Tiffani Paige Grissett, 31, who was an employee of the club, Cameron Eubanks, the 20-year-old son of the club’s owner, and Thomas Robins, 59, who was a patron of the establishment.

    Petersen is believed to have become angry during a dispute with others inside Teaser’s and was subsequently escorted out of the club by security personnel. Prosecutors, during the trial, showed a surveillance video of Petersen going to his automobile where he retrieved a handgun. He then went back inside where he is believed to have shot the four people.

    Investigators say Petersen then ran toward a wooded area where he was the target of a seven-hour manhunt which led to his arrest.

    Petersen was found guilty of capital murder in the death of two or more persons; one count of capital murder-burglary and 2 counts of capital murder-2nd-degree burglary, and attempted murder in 2016.

    "There is a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche

    Prosecutors oppose new trial for strip club killer

    By Ken Curtis
    WTVY News

    DOTHAN, Ala. (WTVY) - Prosecutors hope a judge rejects pleas from a death row inmate who killed three and wounded another at a Houston County gentlemen’s club over a decade ago.

    In court documents, Ryan Clark Petersen claims his lawyers were ineffective in their defense of the Enterprise man and for that and other reasons he should be given a new trial.

    Following the lengthiest criminal trial in Houston County history—three weeks--- a jury took only one hour to find Petersen guilty of the Teaser’s Rock-Hard Cabaret shootings.

    Late on an August night in 2012, Petersen, who had stopped at the Wicksburg strip club, went to his car, retrieved his revolver, and returned to shoot four.

    Killed were dancer Tiffani Paige Grissett, 31 of Dale County; the club owner’s son, Cameron Eubanks, 20 of Wicksburg; and patron Thomas Robins Jr., 59 of Dothan. A fourth victim was wounded.

    During the marathon trial, attorneys argued that Petersen suffered emotional issues, did not realize the consequences of his actions, and lacked medication for his ongoing emotional problems.

    The Alabama Attorney General’s Office will argue against a new trial during an November 8 hearing and ask Houston County Circuit Judge Todd R. Derrick to dismiss Petersen’s Rule 32 motion.

    Rule 32 motions are typical, especially in capital cases, though they are rarely successful.
