STATE
V. CHRISTMAN
Case No. 786.
Dated: May 28, 1999.
Defendant-appellant David Christman
appeals his conviction of murder which was entered in the Monroe County Common
Pleas Court. On October 31, 1996, a jury convicted appellant of murdering Rena
Christman on November 25, 1984, the date that she disappeared. For the
following reasons, appellant's conviction is affirmed.
Appellant married Rena in February
1978 while touring India in search of a wife. After obtaining immigration
clearance, Rena moved into appellant's trailer in Woodsfield, Monroe County,
Ohio. Two children were born of the marriage. After receiving a master's degree
in education, Rena found a job in Gallipolis, Gallia County, Ohio. Thereafter,
she moved into an apartment in said town with her children, leaving appellant
in Woodsfield.
In August 1983, appellant and E. Hakim,
a friend of Rena's family, were walking on farm land
owned by appellant's parents. Appellant allegedly stated that if a body were
placed in the nearby woods, it would be difficult to find. Appellant also
supposedly told E. Hakim that he was going to pour cement at a site where he
was building a house and that it would be hard to find a body buried in
concrete. Closer to the time of Rena's disappearance, appellant suggested to
Rick and Tammy McClelland that he may go to Wheeling, West Virginia to hire
someone to kill Rena as he wanted to ensure his custody of the children should
Rena divorce him.
In a letter to Rena's mother in India
dated April 16, 1984, appellant wrote that Rena was not behaving in the
subservient manner that he expected and called Rena manipulative, arrogant, and
serpent-like. David Erb testified that in 1984 appellant stated that the worst
mistake he ever made was to marry an educated woman. In the fall of 1984,
appellant told his brother, Dean Christman, that Rena told him to use a
prostitute to satisfy his needs.
About one month before Rena's
disappearance, appellant asked his father for advice on a good way to dispose
of a body. Rena's sister stated that Rena called her three weeks before her
disappearance and disclosed that she was leaving appellant. On November 9,
1984, Rena withdrew money from her checking account and bought a $2,000
certificate of deposit in her and her son's name. On November 17, 1984, Rena
rented a safe deposit box and placed in it her jewelry, the certificate of
deposit, her passport, her children's passports, and an affidavit. After Rena
disappeared, appellant removed the items from the box. Consequently, the
contents of the affidavit are unknown.
Rena brought the children to Woodsfield
for Thanksgiving. On Friday, November 23, 1984, Rena and appellant shopped at
the Ohio Valley Mall in Belmont County. The next day, they attended the wedding
of appellant's sister. On November 25, 1984, Rena went to appellant's parents'
house. Rena was scheduled to work the next day and was allegedly planning on
making the more than two hour drive back to Gallipolis that night.
Dean Christman testified that
appellant and Rena argued in the driveway of his parents' house with Rena
calling appellant "white trash" and appellant demanding to finish the
discussion at home. Although Rena's car was packed with food from the wedding,
she left the house with appellant in his car and went to their trailer located
on his parents' property. Dean then saw them leave the property and drive by on
the main road. While he did not see them return to the trailer, Dean heard the
distinctive sound of appellant's car door shut and the sound of the car coast
to a start down the driveway of the trailer around 3:00 p.m. Two people
reportedly saw appellant alone in his car at 4:00 p.m. in Woodsfield.
At 7:30 p.m., appellant reported Rena
missing to mall security at the Ohio, Valley Mall which is almost one hour away
from Woodsfield. He claimed that he let his wife out of the car around 3:30
p.m., parked the car, entered the mall, walked around, and then went to their
planned meeting spot at 6:00 p.m. When Rena failed to arrive
on time, appellant had her paged and searched the stores for her. At
8:10 p.m., when appellant was filing a police report, he stated that he arrived
at the mall at 2:30 p.m. Three defense witnesses, two of them appellant's
relatives, testified that they saw appellant at the mall that day. One of these
witnesses said it was between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m., one said between 2:30 and
3:00 p.m., and one said between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m.
A videotape made by a reporter shows
that Rena left her purse at appellant's parents' house that day. The reporter
testified that appellant believed his wife got lost or that Hani Krishnas
kidnapped her. Rena's sister testified that appellant called her in London and
told her that Rena took the children to the mall, left them in the car, and
never returned.
Appellant was a suspect in Rena's
disappearance from early on. The day after the disappearance, Dean Christman
and appellant's father looked in old wells for a body and checked to make sure
the backhoes had not been moved. Rick and Tammy McClelland also checked their
property where appellant was doing construction work. That same day,
appellant's father caught appellant preparing to go to Gallipolis with a truck
and remove all of Rena's belongings from her apartment. Appellant decided not
to go that day after his father stated that he should not go unless he knew
that Rena was not coming back. Within two weeks, appellant removed Rena's
possessions from her apartment and retrieved her security deposit from the
landlord.
In December 1985, appellant applied for
social security survivor benefits. Near this time period, appellant allegedly
told a babysitter, Hattie King, that he fed part of Rena's body to the hogs and
buried the other part of her body under his hot tub in the basement. Years
later, appellant saw Hattie King at a county fair and asked her whether she
talked to anyone about what he told her.
Appellant once angrily told Penny
Jones, who would not let him into her house, that if she did not listen to him
then she would be "gone like her." From late 1986 until early 1987,
he talked to Laura Thomas whose advertisement he answered in a Christian newspaper.
He told her three different versions of his wife's disappearance. Regrettably,
many of the aforementioned witnesses did not come forward with their stories
until the mid-1990's.
In August 1987, appellant married a
woman from the Philippines whom he contacted through an advertisement. In
September 1987, he filed a complaint for divorce against Rena in Monroe County
which was dismissed due to a lack of evidence that Rena was willfully absent.
In August 1988, he filed a complaint for divorce in Gallia County which was
granted. In 1990, appellant had Rena declared dead in probate
court. In March 1996, while appellant was discussing the police
investigation with his sister, Holly, he said, "Don't they realize by now
I would have moved the body."
On May 17, 1996, appellant was indicted
for Rena's murder. Search warrants were issued for his house and property two
weeks after the indictment was issued; however, the searches proved unfruitful
as no body was recovered. Before trial, appellant filed various motions which
included a motion to dismiss for failure to timely prosecute and a motion to
dismiss for failure to prove venue. These motions were overruled, but the trial
court suggested that they be revisited after the close of the state's evidence.
The case proceeded to a jury trial, and at the close of the state's
case-in-chief, the court again denied appellant's motions. On October 30, 1996,
appellant was convicted of murder and sentenced to serve fifteen years to life
in prison. Appellant filed notice of appeal.
On October 31, 1997, appellant filed a
motion to set aside his conviction based upon the newly discovered fact that
one of the jurors who voted to convict him had not disclosed his felony record
of forgery. The prosecutor in appellant's case was also the prosecutor at the
juror's 1991 guilty plea. Therefore, appellant alleged that the juror and the
prosecutor engaged in misconduct by failing to disclose the juror's past. On
December 8, 1997, the court denied appellant's motion stating that the juror
had been returned to his civil rights and that the prosecutor's failure to
disclose was harmless error. Appellant filed timely notice of appeal and
submitted a single brief for both appeals.
II.
ASSIGNMENT OF ERROR NO. ONE
. . . . In order to determine whether
pre-indictment delay resulted in actual prejudice to appellant at trial, any
prejudicial factors cited by appellant must be balanced against the other
evidence. See Id. The prejudicial factors cited by appellant are as follows:
1. 11 1/2 years elapsed between
disappearance on November 25, 1984 and indictment on May 17, 1996.
2. Death of material witness, i.e. David's
mother died in 1991.
3. Telephone records no longer available to
confirm or dispute alleged calls made by Rena to her sister, Pritti Hakim and
to other persons which might establish other reasons for her disappearance.
4. Pritti Hakim and Pushpa Lyall destroyed
most of Rena's letters.
5. Scientific tests for blood stains are
not effective after the passage of time preventing Appellant from showing the
absence of blood stains in his car or from him presenting evidence that there
may have been evidence of foul play in her Gallipolis apartment.
6. The carpeting in the Gallipolis
apartment had dark, unexplained stains according to the landlord.
7. Some state witnesses had no adequate
recollection without being refreshed. See testimony of Sandra Erb who had no
independent recollection of portions of her testimony.
8. Social Security Records of application
for benefits had been destroyed and employee Brad Dawes could not supply
information regarding stated cause of death or how proof of death was being
established.
9. Witness Penny Jones, who testified that
David threatened her in 1985, could not recognize him "because he was
Younger then.
10. Public transportation records are no
longer available to determine if Rena had traveled elsewhere on or after the
date of her disappearance.
11. Procedural rules have changed regarding
proof by circumstantial evidence since 1987, therefore affecting appellant's
trial in a significant and material way." (Citations omitted)
We begin our analysis of the prejudicial
factors enumerated in appellant's brief by stating that an extended delay is
not per se prejudicial. See Luck, supra at 154. In accordance appellant's first
factor does not demonstrate actual prejudice. Appellant's second factor, that
his mother is dead, is also not substantially prejudicial. Speculation as to
the contents of lost testimony does not meet the defense's burden. Marion,
supra at 326 (holding that the defendant cannot rely solely on the
"possibility of prejudice inherent in any extended delay: that memories
will dim, witnesses become inaccessible, and evidence be
lost"). See, also, United States v. Doerr (C.A.7, 1989), 886 F.2d 944, 964
(holding that the defendant must show the exculpatory value of the testimony).
Appellant does not claim that his mother was with him at the mall. Her
materiality is speculative. Cf. Luck, supra where two key witnesses had died
during the delay.
The unavailability of telephone records
to dispute that Rena called her sister on the date testified to is barely
relevant. Moreover, the lack of records which may have shown Rena was in contact
with a stranger is speculative at best. Further, we cannot assume that the fact
that Rena's mother and sister did not save most of Rena's letters is a result
of pre-indictment delay. Even if appellant was indicted earlier, these letters
may have already been discarded.
As to appellant's fifth enumerated
prejudicial factor, his inability to utilize scientific tests to prove that
there was no blood in his car, may be somewhat prejudicial to appellant's
defense. However, there is no allegation that said tests would be effective in
1987, which is the year that appellant argues is the latest date during which
he could have been properly indicted. In fact, Monroe County Sheriff Fred
Sirianni was told that luminal, a blood detecting chemical, would not work in
1987, three years after Rena's disappearance. The fact that the carpet in
Rena's Gallipolis apartment cannot be tested is not prejudicial for the
landlord described the stain as being black like a burn. Moreover, there was no
evidence that Rena returned to her apartment, more than two hours away from
Woodsfield and more than three hours away from the mall, on the day of her
disappearance.
Appellant's seventh cited factor
complained about Sandra Erb's poor recollection. Because her testimony seems
inconsequential, appellant was not prejudiced by this factor. Moving to
appellant's eighth factor, we fail to see how the lack of records from the
social security administration prejudiced his defense. There is no allegation
that these records are exculpatory. The ninth factor cited by appellant is that
Penny Jones, due to appellant's aging, could not make an in-court
identification of appellant as the man who broke the handle off of her storm
door and threatened that she would be "gone like her." Ms. Jones
testified that a man with two small children knocked on her door, identified
himself as David Christman, and asked why she would not take his phone calls.
This inability to identify appellant due to aging which resulted from the delay
is somewhat prejudicial. The fact that public transportation records are no
longer available to determine if Rena left voluntarily is not substantially
prejudicial. It is highly unlikely that a recently naturalized woman of Indian
origin with a mother in India and a sister in London would leave her passport,
money, and purse behind if she were purposefully leaving her husband and two
young children.
The last factor cited to as being
prejudicial due to the preindictment delay is the fact that in State v. Jenks
(1991), 61 Ohio St.3d 259, the Court lessened the burden of proof so that the
state need only prove its theory of the case beyond a reasonable doubt and no
longer must disprove any reasonable theories of innocence offered by the
defense. Id. at 274, overruling State v. Kulig (1974), 37 Ohio St.2d 157. This
case law change does not violate the constitutional prohibition of ex post
facto laws as appellant suggests. State v. Webb (1994), 70
Ohio St.3d 325, 331 (holding that Jenks is constitutionally applicable to the
prosecution of crimes which occurred both before and after the Jenks opinion
was released).
Even if we accept appellant's argument
that he was substantially prejudiced by the pre-indictment delay, the state presented
justifiable reasons for said delay. The prosecutor argued that more than half
of the evidence in the case was unknown until approximately one year before the
indictment. Appellant argued that he should have been indicted in 1987 which is
when the sheriff informed him that he had gathered enough evidence to ask for
an indictment. However, the sheriff's threat was merely an interrogatory tool.
Moreover, it is not the sheriff who makes the decision that there exists enough evidence to seek an indictment, and courts may
not abort criminal prosecutions solely because they disagree with the
prosecutor's exercise of discretion on when to seek an indictment. Lovasco, supra at 790.
As is apparent from the record, a
multitude of witnesses did not reveal what they knew or heard until shortly
before the indictment was issued. For instance, the friend who heard appellant
point out two good places to hide a body did not tell police about this
conversation until January 1993 when he responded to a letter from the police.
Dean Christman did not tell the police his story until 1995, after he saw a
news story on people who disappeared. Hattie King, the babysitter to whom
appellant confessed to feeding half of Rena to the hogs and burying half of her
under the basement, came forward in July 1995 and testified that she was too
scared to come forward earlier. Appellant did not make the statement to his
sister about moving the body until March 1996. The couple who heard appellant
state that he may hire someone from Wheeling to kill Rena did not inform the
police until May 1996. Appellant's father's story about appellant inquiring
about a good method to dispose of a body was not revealed to authorities until
a few days before trial. Furthermore, Sheriff Sirianni testified that much of
the information was developed within the two years before trial.
. . . .
III.
ASSIGNMENT OF ERROR NO. TWO
. . . .
IV.
ASSIGNMENT OF ERROR NO. THREE
. . . .
The evidence supporting that venue
lies in Monroe County is as follows: Rena was last seen by people other than
appellant in Monroe County. The hiding places for a body suggested by appellant
were in Monroe County. A reasonable inference is that Rena would not go to the
mall in Belmont County, almost one hour north, without her purse when her car
was packed with food to bring to Gallia County, two hours south, especially
since she had just made the trip to the mall two days earlier. Moreover,
appellant told mall security that he arrived at the mall at 3:30 p.m., but then
told police that he arrived at 2:30. However, appellant's brother heard
appellant's car in Monroe County at 3:00 or 3:30, and two witnesses saw
appellant in his car alone in Monroe County around 4:00. appellant
told Rena's sister that he did not go to the mall with Rena but stayed home
instead.
We conclude that appellant cannot
demonstrate that the opinion testimony was essential to the jury's
determination since there exists other overwhelming
evidence that Rena did not voluntarily disappear. For instance, she left her
purse, money, passport, and children behind. Additionally, Rena had plans for
the near future such as driving back to Gallipolis on the day of her
disappearance and going to work and paying the babysitter the next day. Agent
Henry's opinion that Rena was dead was only a minute portion of the state's
case and was not essential to the jury's conclusion. As the state concludes,
the admission of the opinion that Rena is dead is harmless pursuant to Crim.R.
52(A) In accordance, this assignment of error is overruled.
RESULT
OF MAY 28, 1999 APPEAL
As we reviewed the record, we
highlighted the many pieces of evidence which tend to induce belief in
appellant's guilt. For instance, two witnesses heard appellant speak of hiring
someone from Wheeling to kill Rena. Three witnesses heard appellant talk about
the disposal of a body before Rena's disappearance. Appellant made what can be
considered an incriminating statement to his sister about moving a body. He
told a woman that he buried half of Rena under his hot tub and fed half of her
to the hogs. He told another woman who angered him that she would be gone like
Rena. Moreover, two witnesses saw appellant and one witness believes he heard
appellant's car in Woodsfield at the time which appellant claimed he was
shopping in St. Clairsville. The state presented evidence that
appellant told different versions of Rena's disappearance to different
people. Appellant's brother testified that Rena and appellant argued shortly
before she went missing. Furthermore, appellant's behavior the day after Rena's
disappearance was inappropriate in that he was planning to clean out her
apartment. There are various reasons to believe that Rena would not have gone
to the mall that day and did not voluntarily disappear. Lastly, appellant did
not exhibit interest in the police investigation of his wife's disappearance.
After reviewing the entire record,
including the circumstantial evidence and the inferences which can be drawn
from it, we refuse to sit as a "thirteenth juror" who claims that the
jury clearly lost its way when it chose to belief the testimony which
incriminated appellant. The greater amount of credible evidence was presented
by the state. Accordingly, the verdict was not against the manifest weight of
the evidence. This assignment of error is overruled.
For
the foregoing reasons the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

where he worked in the wholesale grocery line.
Bill was good in the grocery business and moved on to his own store in
Poplar where he and Shirley ran the store.
In 1974 Bill's health started to fail
and the family returned to Harlem. They
had been blessed with three sons and one daughter who were happy to return home.
Bill gave up his life on this earth
July 12, 1984 at the age of 53 in Great Falls after a year-long hard fought
battle with cancer.
