Hello!
Welcome to my website. My name is WILLIAM IRVAN and I’m a TEXAS DEATH ROW INMATE. Below I’m going to give YOU A OVERVIEW OVER MY CASE. YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE what they did to me. I hope you will read the WHOLE SITE. It will explain everything in detail.
In 2001 I was charged for a crime that happened in 1987. The victim’s name was Michelle and she was found on her Living room floor, murdered. She and her husband JACK SHADBOLT were going through a divorce. He was a drunk and would beat her. She and I were having a relationship. We tried to keep it quite. But, people saw us together during this time. She had him committed to an Alcoholic hospital “FORCEFULLY” 2 times. She made him move out and said they’re finished on February 12th. She was found dead on February 14th in 1987.
Jack knew we were having a relationship and was going around the neighbourhood telling people that he was going to get me. The Homicide Detectives, the private Detective, the family and I knew that he killed her.
7 days after she was murdered the detective had Jack come down to the police station to question him. He said that he was nervous. He could NOT sit still. He had a HICKY in his neck. When they get to the part about WERE WHERE YOU WHEN SHE WAS KILLED he said he needed go to the bathroom. 15 Minutes later the detective goes looking for him. He found him in the Lobby, saying his ATTORNEY was on his way. HE LEFT!
At my trial, the DA told the Jury that I washed myself off at the commode. There were bloody prints on the commode. The seat was up. Well, we found a POLICE REPORT from CANDY RANDELL. She was Jack’s girlfriend in 1989, and she made this report in 1989. It said that she and Michelle’s Mom talked and the prints on the commode were the same way that Jack throws up. He does not kneel down. He grabs it and bends over, just like the bloody prints were. She also says that he confessed to her. She did not come to my trial, because she is SCARED of JACK and the COURT WOULD NOT PAY FOR AN ESCORT….
Also in my trial the DA told the jury that Michelle was raped.
They found my semen. I had sex with her the day before. The MEDICAL EXAMINER told the jury that Michelle was NOT RAPED. He said that there was NO TRAUMA to the vagina or anal. NO redness. NO tearing. He said that the sex was from the day before or up to 72 hours before.
The Homicide detective told the jury that he did NOT think Michelle was raped. But, the DA forced it on the jury and they convicted me with NO evidence!
They found 3 pubic hairs and 1 hair under her finger nails. They tested 1 pubic hair to me and her. NO MATCH. They found 1 bloody hair on the vacuum cleaner. They tested it to me and her. NO MATCH. They found 2 dark brown / black pubic hairs in her bed. They say that they can’t get anything out of them. But, want do a new test. They also found 2 hairs on the blade of the knife. They did not test these. NONE OF THE HAIRS WERE TESTED TO THE HUSBAND???
They found 7 finger prints, some in blood. NONE MATCHED TO ME. They told the jury that they were checked to the husband. We found out after trial that they could NOT test the prints to JACK SHADBOLT. Because, they DO NOT HAVE A COMPLETE SET OF HIS PRINTS, PER THE F.B.I.
The only thing that they used on me was a girl from years ago who’s in Federal Prison. After my article came out in the paper, she wrote the DA. She said that I told her that I did this crime. 14 years ago. Now people are coming forward and telling my attorneys that she did it for a deal and lied to the jury. She and the DA told the jury that she was telling the truth and NOT GETTING A DEAL. She is serving 4 life sentences. We have found the deal!
They also told the jury that Jack Shadbolt was tested to the DNA. But, now we find out that he was NOT.
None of my witnesses were called to my trial. When you read this you will see ALL of the EVIDENCES I HAD and none of it was presented at my trial. I have since filled it on December 5th, 2005. It still has NOT been ruled on. They have NO interest in finding out WHO KILLED MICHELLE. ALTHOUGH THEY KNOW IT IS JACK. THEY TOLD HIM SO.
THE FOLLOWING PAGES WILL TELL YOU IN DETAIL HOW THEY JUST LOOKED THE OTHER WAY TO CLOSE A 14 YEAR OLD CASE.

Case Summary
Hello! Welcome to my webpage. My name is William Irvan and I’m a Texas Death Row inmate. I was charged in 2001 for a crime that happened in 1987. They keep me in the Harris County Jail for 3 years, trying to get me to PLEA BARGAIN. When I would NOT plea bargain, the Judge let my Attorney of 2 years just quit. I knew NOTHING ABOUT IT. Then she would NOT appoint me adequate Representation. When you are charged with Capital Murder you get 2 Attorneys. She would NOT give me 2 and made me represent myself. No one would find my witnesses, test the DNA or get a Finger Print Expert, to look at the Prints. I had no Chance to prove my Innocence!
If you would take the Time to read this, you will see that they knew who killed her. They dropped the Ball on him and then came after me. 14 years later.
The hand written notes are from my Attorney, Wayne Hill. He took these notes from the Da’s File. I received them for him after the Judge let him quit. I apologize for the Marks on the Exhibits. I did not think that anyone would ever see them.
DIANA SROWIG @ JUSTICE FOR THE INNOCENT e.V. and I thought, that I should make this site in my own words and back it up with Court Documents. That is what I did. Also, after you read this site I have another WEBSITE. It is ALL LEGAL DOCUMENTS. It has everything that was done to me, from Day one. All the Stuff that was NOT DONE also. There is a direct Link to this site or you can reach it at:
www.iippi.org/inamtes/texas/williamirvan This site also has my Appeals, that have been ruled on and what I’m waiting on now. I’m back in the same Court that I went to Trial in and the same Judge that did all kinds of Stuff to me. You will not believe it!
I’m going to show you how the State of Texas just wanted to close a 14 years old cold Case. When the State of Texas responded to my 11:071 WRIT, they started out saying “WILLIAM IRVIN HAD ON A LONG SLEEVE SHIRT ON A HOT JULY DAY.” What they were trying to do is lead the Judge that reads this to believe, that I was scratched and hiding it with a long Sleeve Shirt. a) This crime was on February 14, 1987. It was a cool Morning. b) If I was scratched “WHY NOT” let me test the DNA and Hairs from under her Nails??? Because they know WHO’S DNA IT IS and IT WILL CLEAR ME!
In 1987 MICHELLE SHADBOLT was married to Jack SHADBOLT. Jack was a Alcoholic and would NOT QUIT drinking. While drunk he would beat Michelle. Michelle had Jack committed to an Alcoholic Hospital “FORCEFULLY” on 2 Times. When he got out the second Time, Michelle told Jack to move out. He did. He moved a few Miles away to his Mother’s House. He was still a Drunk and on FEBRUARY 12, 1987 Michelle told Jack that she was finished and filling for Divorce. (SEE EXHIBIT A, PG.1&2). On Friday February 13th 1987 she went to play Bingo with Friends at Work. Jack went and got DRUNK with SAM FARQUAR and ROBERT WHITE (SEE EXHIBIT A, PG. 5). The Girl Michelle went with Mary Sagebush and she asked Michelle “ARE YOU SCARED TO GO HOME? Michelle says “NO; BUT JACK WILL BE CALLING AND WONDERING WHO I’M WITH.” (SEE EXHIBIT A, PG.14).
On FEBRUARY 14th 1987 MICHELLE SHADBOLT WAS FOUND DEAD ON HER LIVING ROOM FLOOR. They say that she answered her Door in her Panties and Night Shirt. There was NO FORCED ENTRY. SHE KNEW HER KILLER REAL GOOD.
In 1987 Michelle and I were having a relationship. We were trying to keep it from Jack. The first Time that we had sex was in my Parents’ House. At night I would go to her House or she would come to mine. A few Times Jack came to her House and I was there. I would run out the Back Door or hide. One Time I left my Shoes in the Living Room. He went into a rage and started hitting Michelle. I thought we were DEAD. I told Michelle at that Point “I WOULD NEVER GO TO HER HOUSE AGAIN.” She would come to my House at Night. He knew WHO was seeing her, because he was going around the Neighbour Hood saying he was going to GET ME! (SEE EXHIBIT B OF JOEY IVEY). I told my first Attorney to talk to Joey about me, Michelle and Jack. NO ONE EVER DID. AFTER I was CONVICTED my Writ Attorney finally went and talked to him. You see what he says! He knew about me and Michelle and also he says that Jack came to his House looking for me TO GET ME.
Jack also told my Brother David to stay away from Michelle. I told my Attorneys about this and they NEVER talked to my Brother. Numerous People saw us together and I told my Attorneys about them. The only Person that Wayne Hill talked to was GEORGE CALDWELL (SEE EXHIBIT C). After Wayne Hill was allowed to leave my Representation I was appointed Stand By Counsel MACK ARNOLD. I told him about ALL OF THE PEOPLE WITNESSES HE NEEDED TO TALK TO. He only talked to one. All of these Witnesses could have told him and testified that me and Michelle were in fact having a Relationship. The only Person was DARLINE “DEEDEE” HUGHES (SEE EXHIBIT D). She saw us at a Store before the Murder and testified at my Trial. SHE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO TELL WHAT MICHELLE TOLD HER, NOT TO TELL ANYONE SHE SAW US TOGETHER. The only Thing that she could say was that SHE DID IN FACT SEE US TOGETHER. Nothing else.
In 1989 someone told the Police that Me and Michelle were having a Relationship, because I was called by a Homicide Detective and told to come down to the Station. I did and when I got there they took me into a Room and THREW me against a wall and told me I was charged with CAPITAL MURDER. I was SCARED TO DEATH. They took my Finger Prints to take a POLYGRAPH. I did. I was given 9 Questions in all different ways. I passed all but, 1.was I having a Relationship with Michelle. I should have told them that I was. But, I did not want to get involved. I did not want to be charged with Capital Murder and I did not want Jack to kill me. So, I keep my Mouth shut. Jack knew it was me and I knew this. He was ALWAYS DRUNK. He had a 2-3 Guns with him at ALL TIMES. He even had a sawed off Gun in his Back Window (SEE EXHIBIT E). This is a Police Report from Jack’s Girlfriend made in 1989 to the bountiful Police Lt. Gray. You will see how crazy he is.
Jack and I had gotten to it before. He pulled that sawed off Shot Gun on me, over some Money he owed me for a roofing Job. I was only 21 Years old and scared to Death.
7 Days after he killed Michelle, Detective Rossi called him down to the Station (SEE EXHIBIT A, PG.6). The Detective writes that Jack was very nervous. He had a Stale Odour of Alcohol. He was unable to sit still. HE HAD A “HICKY” ON HIS NECK: ONLY 7 DAYS AFTER SHE WAS KILLED. ONLY 3 DAYS AFTER SHE WAS BURRIED!!!
He could NOT explain the Hicky. The Detective asked him if he has a Girlfriend. He did not say one Word. He in Fact did have a Girlfriend. Her name was Vicky Garcia. I knew this. Michelle knew this. The Family knew this and the Police knew it. NO ONE EVER TALKED TO HER.
When he gets to the Part about “where were you at the Time Michelle was murdered” Jack says that he needs to use the Rest Room and walks out. After 15 Minutes the Detective goes, looking for Jack. He finds him in the Lobby. The Detective asks him what he is doing and Jack says “I called my Attorney and he will be here soon.” His Attorney shows up and tells the Detective Jack is not in Shape to finish the Interview and they leave (SEE EXHIBIT APG.16), also (SEE EXHIBIT A, PG.8) on August 13th, 1987. Detective Rossi arrested Jack on a Hot Check Charge as a RUSE TO QUESTION HIM. Jack would NOT SAY ONE WORD. Detective Rossi tells Jack “I know that you killed Michelle and I will get you no matter how long it takes.”(SEE EXHIBIT A, PG.13). As I said I was FORCED TO REPRESENT MYSELF. I was allowed to see some of the DA’s Files at this Time, I took some notes. I found 2 of Jack’s Statements that DO NOT MATCH (SEE EXHIBIT F, PG.3) On 2/24/87 Jack makes his Statement. “I went to Sam’s House at 8:30 to check on a Job. He was not there, so I drove over to Robert’s House.” And his Son was outside. He told Jack that Robert, Sam and their Wives went to Michelle’s House. Jack went back to his Mom’s House and calls Michelle’s House. Jack talked to the Police and they told Jack to come to Michelle’s House. He arrives at 10:15 after going by his Mom’s beauty shop on his Way to Michelle’s House.
In his Statement of May 26/2000 he says “I woke up at 8:00 and took a shower. I CALLED SAM’S HOUSE. NO ANSWER. I CALLED ROBERT’S HOUSE. His son answered.” He David said that something happened and Robert and Sam went to Michelle’s House.
It took him 2 ¼ Hours to go to 2 Miles??? They found the Body at 7:30. He was taking a Shower at 8:00. NO ONE ever CHECKED his House for bloody Clothes or a bloody SHOE that could match the Print in the Living Room. He also forgot what he told the Police Years earlier. HOW COULD YOU FORGET WHERE AND HOW YOU FOUND OUT YOUR WIFE WAS KILLED???
In my Trial they told the Jury that Jack’s Finger Prints were checked to the Prints at the Scene. They were never checked (SEE EXHIBIT A PG.18-19). This is a letter from the F.B.I. telling Harris Co. that they do not have a complete set of Jack’s Prints. NO ONE EVER GETS A COMPLETE SET TO CHECK IT TO JACK???
In 1989 Jack moves to Colorado and meets Candy. Candy goes to the Police and makes this Report. Basically Jack CONFESSED to her (SEE EXHIBIT E). HE SAYS HE KILLED MICHELLE!
He also received 100.000.00 $ Insurance Money for her Death. He moved as far as he could, because he knew they were after him. Candy Martindale wanted to testify for me. But she was scared of Jack. She would NOT com to Texas with out an ESCORT. The Judge would NOT pay for one. She did not show up. In her Report to the bountiful Police Report on the last 2 Pages you will see where Homicide Detective Donni, Lt. Gray and Michelle’s Mom talk to Candy. They are talking about the Way Jack throws up. He grabs the Commode in a Way that was JUST LIKE THE PRINTS WERE FOUND ON THE COMMODE AT THE SCENE. THESE PRINTS WERE IN BLOOD. There is NO DOUBT that he was at that Commode.
The DA told the Jury that I washed my Genitals off, after I raped her. When in Fact THEY KNEW WHO WAS AT THE COMMODE AND WHY, LONG BEFORE I EVER WENT TO TRIAL. Please read all of this Report and you will see what they knew and what Jack is like. This is why I did not want to get involved.
While I was waiting to go to Trial a Guy named PAUL PATTERSON came in my Tank. We started talking about why I was there and he said that he lived in the Neighbour Hood and knew Jack. He said his Dad and Jack were Friends and Jack would come to his House and drink with his Father. He said that one Day when they were drinking, Jack told them that he killed Michelle. Not long after that, Paul was out on his Motor Cycle and broke down. Jack came by and they loaded Paul’s Bike in Jack’s Truck. Jack was mad at Paul and told him so. He was mad because Paul was telling People what Jack had told him and his Father. He killed Michelle. I told the Judge and my Attorneys about him and his Father but NO ONE EVER tried to find or talk to them!
On the Stand they asked the MEDICAL EXAMINER “From your findings, was Michelle raped?” “NO.” “Could the Semen be from Sex from a day before?” “SURE” There was NO TRAUMA TO HER GENITALS, NO REDNESS; NO TEARING. NOTHING. Like someone could have Sex in both the Vagina and Anal and there be no evidence of Sex. Come on, be for real! I’m a Man, not a little Boy. Then they asked him:” How long can Semen stay good in the Vagina?” “72 HOURS”. The last time I had Sex with Michelle was on THURSDAY NIGHT. FEBRUARY 13th, 1987. I had been off shore working and she thought I would not be in until next Month. I came in on the 11th or 12th. We had Sex at least 3 – 4 Times in the Days that I was back. She had made plans to go to play Bingo, thinking that I would not be in Town. When I arrived, she wanted to cancel her Plans. I said NO (SEE EXHIBIT G). My DNA Motion. It was filled on December 5th, 2005. I don’t have a DNA Attorney. I don’t know if it has been ruled on or not. They know that when they test the Hairs that are under her Nails I WILL BE CLEARED. They kept telling the Jury that Michelle scratched me. Tamra said I told her Michelle scratched me. If this is the Case LET ME BE TEST THE DNA FROM HER FINGERNAILS! She was fighting her Attacker hard. She had to scratch him. They did test 1 Pubic Hair from her Fingernails and it DOES NOT MATCH ME OR HER. They NEVER TESTED IT TO JACK??? They also tested a BLOODY HAIR FROM A VACUUM CLEANER that was on the Top of her. It DID NOT MATCH ME OR HER. They DID NOT TEST IT TO JACK???
There were 3 Pubic hairs and 1 Head hair und her Nails. Never tested. 2 Dark brown / black Pubic hairs in her Bed. They are say that they tested them with an OLD TEST and never went back and tested them with Mitochondrial DNA. She had light brown Hair. None of her Hair was found in her ed. The Homicide Detective thought that SOMETHING HAPPENED IN HER BED. All of the covers were at the end of the Bed. Her clothes were on the side of the bed in a pile. It just looked like someone have had Sex or fought in the bed. Jack said that he had NOT sleep in her bed since 1st of JANUARY. These Sheets had to be cleaned or her Hair would have been in the bed.
There also were 2 hairs on the blade of the knife. They were NEVER tested!
Before my 11:071 WRIT was filled, my Attorney hired a DNA Expert. She found another DNA in neither the Vagina or anal. I never knew about this and neither did the Jury. She asked that we be able to test 1 pubic hair from her nail. 1 hair from the knife. Have a fingerprint expert look at the prints. Have the 3 UNKNOWN MALE DNA’S FOUND ON THE BODY, THAT THE JURY NEVER KNEW ABOUT. Put on Codis. Codis is a software program that operates local, State and national database of DNA profiles from convicted offenders, unsolved crime scene evidences and missing persons.
JUDGE DEBRA MANTOOTH STRICTLAND denied the Motion! She does not care that she has put a INNOCENT MAN on DEATH ROW and let a KILLER WALK FREE. I almost forgot. She also asked to test Jack’s DNA to the DNA found on the body. They said that he was cleared from the Semen. BUT, we just found out that they only got 2 LOCI from his DNA. They use 13 today. SO, he could not be cleared from the Semen. Again she said NO. That is Texas Justice for you!
After I was charged a Girl named TAMRA LLAMAS who is serving
4 life sentences in federal prison. She saw my article in the paper. She said that I told her that I did this crime. She said that we went to Galveston. Drunk and I told her and then we had sex on the beach. She said that we went with JOEY IVEY and BRANDY DICKSON in her black truck. After I was convicted her sisters went to see her in jail. Tamra told them she lied about me and did it for a deal. Tamra and the DA told the Jury that there was NO DEAL to help her, and that Tamra was telling the truth (SEE EXHIBIT B) of JOEY IVEY. He says that he has NEVER been to the beach with ME or TAMRA. Also (SEE EXHIBIT D) of DARLINE HUGHES. Her sister who she told she lied. NO ONE EVER TALKED TO BRANDY DICKSON.
Not long after I filled my WRIT my attorney received a letter from a woman in federal prison. Her name is CINDY. Cindy said that she was the Cellie of Tamra in prison and Tamra told her when she came back from my trial that she lied to the jury and did it for a DEAL. My attorney did NOT get an affidavit from her and now she is out. He said that he hired a private investigator, but I don’t believe him. He will not answer my letters about her (SEE EXHIBIT H). Her sister also says that the black truck she says we went to Galveston in fact was taken in 1985 for a hot motor. She was arrested for U.A.U.A.M.V.
As you can tell, they will use a liar like they use in my case to get a conviction. Knowing all along who killed Michelle. JACK SHADBOLT.
My direct appeal was filled in the court of criminal appeals C.C.A. and was DENIED. For some reasons they put “DO NOT PUBLISH” on it. THEY DON’T WANT ANYONE TO READ IT! You would have to pay to see my opinion. But, you can see everyone else on death row for free (SEE EXHIBIT I). Their ruling.
On my web page you will read about JOHNNY B. HOLMES. He was the head DA for Harris County for 21 years. He started the SILVER NEEDLE SOCIETY. The AWARD for the DA’s when they get the death penalty in a capital case. He started ALL the killing in Houston. Well, my sister’s husband was married to Johnny B. Holmes’s sister and they went through a BITTER DIVORCE. I was charged on Januray3rd, 2001 and he retired on December 31 2000. When I got to Harris County they knew all about this.
Everything that I told my Attorney and the judge was just ignored. See my legal Webpage. Which you can get thru the direct link to, or go to: www.iippi.org/inmates/texas/williamirvan You will see all the things that the judge did to me (SEE EXHIBIT J). This is what my attorney filled in the Supreme Court after my direct appeal was denied. In the C.C.A. I am now backing the same court that gave me the death sentence. I’m now waiting on her to rule and my 11:071 WRIT and my DNA MOTION.
AS YOU CAN TELL I NEED HELP. I NEED TO GET THE DNA TESTED, GET THE FINGRPRINTS TESTED AND AN EXPERT LOOK AT THEM. HIRE A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR TO FIND ALL OF THESE WITNESSES, FIND AND TALK TO THE P.I. THAT THE FAMILY HIRED IN 1987. CALL MYERS. HE SAYS THAT HE DOESN’T REMEMBER THE CASE AND CAN’T FIND HIS FILE. DETECTIVE DONNI WHO’S THE HOMICIDE DETECTIVE FROM 1989 – 1998 SAYS THAT HE CAN’T FIND THE HOMICIDE FILE. I NEED THIS FOUND. I NEED AN ATTORNEY THAT WILL FIGHT FOR MY RIGHTS AND PROVE THAT I’M INNOCENT!

Introduction
Hello!
Welcome to my website. My name is WILLIAM IRVAN and I’m a TEXAS DEATH ROW INMATE. Below I’m going to give YOU A OVERVIEW OVER MY CASE. YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE what they did to me. I hope you will read the WHOLE SITE. It will explain everything in detail.
In 2001 I was charged for a crime that happened in 1987. The victim’s name was Michelle and she was found on her Living room floor, murdered. She and her husband JACK SHADBOLT were going through a divorce. He was a drunk and would beat her. She and I were having a relationship. We tried to keep it quite. But, people saw us together during this time. She had him committed to an Alcoholic hospital “FORCEFULLY” 2 times. She made him move out and said they’re finished on February 12th. She was found dead on February 14th in 1987.
Jack knew we were having a relationship and was going around the neighbourhood telling people that he was going to get me. The Homicide Detectives, the private Detective, the family and I knew that he killed her.
7 days after she was murdered the detective had Jack come down to the police station to question him. He said that he was nervous. He could NOT sit still. He had a HICKY in his neck. When they get to the part about WERE WHERE YOU WHEN SHE WAS KILLED he said he needed go to the bathroom. 15 Minutes later the detective goes looking for him. He found him in the Lobby, saying his ATTORNEY was on his way. HE LEFT!
At my trial, the DA told the Jury that I washed myself off at the commode. There were bloody prints on the commode. The seat was up. Well, we found a POLICE REPORT from CANDY RANDELL. She was Jack’s girlfriend in 1989, and she made this report in 1989. It said that she and Michelle’s Mom talked and the prints on the commode were the same way that Jack throws up. He does not kneel down. He grabs it and bends over, just like the bloody prints were. She also says that he confessed to her. She did not come to my trial, because she is SCARED of JACK and the COURT WOULD NOT PAY FOR AN ESCORT….
Also in my trial the DA told the jury that Michelle was raped.
They found my semen. I had sex with her the day before. The MEDICAL EXAMINER told the jury that Michelle was NOT RAPED. He said that there was NO TRAUMA to the vagina or anal. NO redness. NO tearing. He said that the sex was from the day before or up to 72 hours before.
The Homicide detective told the jury that he did NOT think Michelle was raped. But, the DA forced it on the jury and they convicted me with NO evidence!
They found 3 pubic hairs and 1 hair under her finger nails. They tested 1 pubic hair to me and her. NO MATCH. They found 1 bloody hair on the vacuum cleaner. They tested it to me and her. NO MATCH. They found 2 dark brown / black pubic hairs in her bed. They say that they can’t get anything out of them. But, want do a new test. They also found 2 hairs on the blade of the knife. They did not test these. NONE OF THE HAIRS WERE TESTED TO THE HUSBAND???
They found 7 finger prints, some in blood. NONE MATCHED TO ME. They told the jury that they were checked to the husband. We found out after trial that they could NOT test the prints to JACK SHADBOLT. Because, they DO NOT HAVE A COMPLETE SET OF HIS PRINTS, PER THE F.B.I.
The only thing that they used on me was a girl from years ago who’s in Federal Prison. After my article came out in the paper, she wrote the DA. She said that I told her that I did this crime. 14 years ago. Now people are coming forward and telling my attorneys that she did it for a deal and lied to the jury. She and the DA told the jury that she was telling the truth and NOT GETTING A DEAL. She is serving 4 life sentences. We have found the deal!
They also told the jury that Jack Shadbolt was tested to the DNA. But, now we find out that he was NOT.
None of my witnesses were called to my trial. When you read this you will see ALL of the EVIDENCES I HAD and none of it was presented at my trial. I have since filled it on December 5th, 2005. It still has NOT been ruled on. They have NO interest in finding out WHO KILLED MICHELLE. ALTHOUGH THEY KNOW IT IS JACK. THEY TOLD HIM SO.
THE FOLLOWING PAGES WILL TELL YOU IN DETAIL HOW THEY JUST LOOKED THE OTHER WAY TO CLOSE A 14 YEAR OLD CASE.

I’m going to show you how the State of Texas just wanted to close a 14 years old cold Case. When the State of Texas responded to my 11:071 WRIT, they started out saying “WILLIAM IRVIN HAD ON A LONG SLEEVE SHIRT ON A HOT JULY DAY.” What they were trying to do is lead the Judge that reads this to believe, that I was scratched and hiding it with a long Sleeve Shirt. a) This crime was on February 14, 1987. It was a cool Morning. b) If I was scratched “WHY NOT” let me test the DNA and Hairs from under her Nails??? Because they know WHO’S DNA IT IS and IT WILL CLEAR ME!
In 1987 MICHELLE SHADBOLT was married to Jack SHADBOLT. Jack was a Alcoholic and would NOT QUIT drinking. While drunk he would beat Michelle. Michelle had Jack committed to an Alcoholic Hospital “FORCEFULLY” on 2 Times. When he got out the second Time, Michelle told Jack to move out. He did. He moved a few Miles away to his Mother’s House. He was still a Drunk and on FEBRUARY 12, 1987 Michelle told Jack that she was finished and filling for Divorce. (SEE EXHIBIT A, PG.1&2). On Friday February 13th 1987 she went to play Bingo with Friends at Work. Jack went and got DRUNK with SAM FARQUAR and ROBERT WHITE (SEE EXHIBIT A, PG. 5). The Girl Michelle went with Mary Sagebush and she asked Michelle “ARE YOU SCARED TO GO HOME? Michelle says “NO; BUT JACK WILL BE CALLING AND WONDERING WHO I’M WITH.” (SEE EXHIBIT A, PG.14).
On FEBRUARY 14th 1987 MICHELLE SHADBOLT WAS FOUND DEAD ON HER LIVING ROOM FLOOR. They say that she answered her Door in her Panties and Night Shirt. There was NO FORCED ENTRY. SHE KNEW HER KILLER REAL GOOD.
In 1987 Michelle and I were having a relationship. We were trying to keep it from Jack. The first Time that we had sex was in my Parents’ House. At night I would go to her House or she would come to mine. A few Times Jack came to her House and I was there. I would run out the Back Door or hide. One Time I left my Shoes in the Living Room. He went into a rage and started hitting Michelle. I thought we were DEAD. I told Michelle at that Point “I WOULD NEVER GO TO HER HOUSE AGAIN.” She would come to my House at Night. He knew WHO was seeing her, because he was going around the Neighbour Hood saying he was going to GET ME! (SEE EXHIBIT B OF JOEY IVEY). I told my first Attorney to talk to Joey about me, Michelle and Jack. NO ONE EVER DID. AFTER I was CONVICTED my Writ Attorney finally went and talked to him. You see what he says! He knew about me and Michelle and also he says that Jack came to his House looking for me TO GET ME.
Jack also told my Brother David to stay away from Michelle. I told my Attorneys about this and they NEVER talked to my Brother. Numerous People saw us together and I told my Attorneys about them. The only Person that Wayne Hill talked to was GEORGE CALDWELL (SEE EXHIBIT C). After Wayne Hill was allowed to leave my Representation I was appointed Stand By Counsel MACK ARNOLD. I told him about ALL OF THE PEOPLE WITNESSES HE NEEDED TO TALK TO. He only talked to one. All of these Witnesses could have told him and testified that me and Michelle were in fact having a Relationship. The only Person was DARLINE “DEEDEE” HUGHES (SEE EXHIBIT D). She saw us at a Store before the Murder and testified at my Trial. SHE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO TELL WHAT MICHELLE TOLD HER, NOT TO TELL ANYONE SHE SAW US TOGETHER. The only Thing that she could say was that SHE DID IN FACT SEE US TOGETHER. Nothing else.
In 1989 someone told the Police that Me and Michelle were having a Relationship, because I was called by a Homicide Detective and told to come down to the Station. I did and when I got there they took me into a Room and THREW me against a wall and told me I was charged with CAPITAL MURDER. I was SCARED TO DEATH. They took my Finger Prints to take a POLYGRAPH. I did. I was given 9 Questions in all different ways. I passed all but, 1.was I having a Relationship with Michelle. I should have told them that I was. But, I did not want to get involved. I did not want to be charged with Capital Murder and I did not want Jack to kill me. So, I keep my Mouth shut. Jack knew it was me and I knew this. He was ALWAYS DRUNK. He had a 2-3 Guns with him at ALL TIMES. He even had a sawed off Gun in his Back Window (SEE EXHIBIT E). This is a Police Report from Jack’s Girlfriend made in 1989 to the bountiful Police Lt. Gray. You will see how crazy he is.
Jack and I had gotten to it before. He pulled that sawed off Shot Gun on me, over some Money he owed me for a roofing Job. I was only 21 Years old and scared to Death.
7 Days after he killed Michelle, Detective Rossi called him down to the Station (SEE EXHIBIT A, PG.6). The Detective writes that Jack was very nervous. He had a Stale Odour of Alcohol. He was unable to sit still. HE HAD A “HICKY” ON HIS NECK: ONLY 7 DAYS AFTER SHE WAS KILLED. ONLY 3 DAYS AFTER SHE WAS BURRIED!!!
He could NOT explain the Hicky. The Detective asked him if he has a Girlfriend. He did not say one Word. He in Fact did have a Girlfriend. Her name was Vicky Garcia. I knew this. Michelle knew this. The Family knew this and the Police knew it. NO ONE EVER TALKED TO HER.
When he gets to the Part about “where were you at the Time Michelle was murdered” Jack says that he needs to use the Rest Room and walks out. After 15 Minutes the Detective goes, looking for Jack. He finds him in the Lobby. The Detective asks him what he is doing and Jack says “I called my Attorney and he will be here soon.” His Attorney shows up and tells the Detective Jack is not in Shape to finish the Interview and they leave (SEE EXHIBIT APG.16), also (SEE EXHIBIT A, PG.8) on August 13th, 1987. Detective Rossi arrested Jack on a Hot Check Charge as a RUSE TO QUESTION HIM. Jack would NOT SAY ONE WORD. Detective Rossi tells Jack “I know that you killed Michelle and I will get you no matter how long it takes.”(SEE EXHIBIT A, PG.13). As I said I was FORCED TO REPRESENT MYSELF. I was allowed to see some of the DA’s Files at this Time, I took some notes. I found 2 of Jack’s Statements that DO NOT MATCH (SEE EXHIBIT F, PG.3) On 2/24/87 Jack makes his Statement. “I went to Sam’s House at 8:30 to check on a Job. He was not there, so I drove over to Robert’s House.” And his Son was outside. He told Jack that Robert, Sam and their Wives went to Michelle’s House. Jack went back to his Mom’s House and calls Michelle’s House. Jack talked to the Police and they told Jack to come to Michelle’s House. He arrives at 10:15 after going by his Mom’s beauty shop on his Way to Michelle’s House.
In his Statement of May 26/2000 he says “I woke up at 8:00 and took a shower. I CALLED SAM’S HOUSE. NO ANSWER. I CALLED ROBERT’S HOUSE. His son answered.” He David said that something happened and Robert and Sam went to Michelle’s House.
It took him 2 ¼ Hours to go to 2 Miles??? They found the Body at 7:30. He was taking a Shower at 8:00. NO ONE ever CHECKED his House for bloody Clothes or a bloody SHOE that could match the Print in the Living Room. He also forgot what he told the Police Years earlier. HOW COULD YOU FORGET WHERE AND HOW YOU FOUND OUT YOUR WIFE WAS KILLED???
In my Trial they told the Jury that Jack’s Finger Prints were checked to the Prints at the Scene. They were never checked (SEE EXHIBIT A PG.18-19). This is a letter from the F.B.I. telling Harris Co. that they do not have a complete set of Jack’s Prints. NO ONE EVER GETS A COMPLETE SET TO CHECK IT TO JACK???
In 1989 Jack moves to Colorado and meets Candy. Candy goes to the Police and makes this Report. Basically Jack CONFESSED to her (SEE EXHIBIT E). HE SAYS HE KILLED MICHELLE!
He also received 100.000.00 $ Insurance Money for her Death. He moved as far as he could, because he knew they were after him. Candy Martindale wanted to testify for me. But she was scared of Jack. She would NOT com to Texas with out an ESCORT. The Judge would NOT pay for one. She did not show up. In her Report to the bountiful Police Report on the last 2 Pages you will see where Homicide Detective Donni, Lt. Gray and Michelle’s Mom talk to Candy. They are talking about the Way Jack throws up. He grabs the Commode in a Way that was JUST LIKE THE PRINTS WERE FOUND ON THE COMMODE AT THE SCENE. THESE PRINTS WERE IN BLOOD. There is NO DOUBT that he was at that Commode.
The DA told the Jury that I washed my Genitals off, after I raped her. When in Fact THEY KNEW WHO WAS AT THE COMMODE AND WHY, LONG BEFORE I EVER WENT TO TRIAL. Please read all of this Report and you will see what they knew and what Jack is like. This is why I did not want to get involved.
While I was waiting to go to Trial a Guy named PAUL PATTERSON came in my Tank. We started talking about why I was there and he said that he lived in the Neighbour Hood and knew Jack. He said his Dad and Jack were Friends and Jack would come to his House and drink with his Father. He said that one Day when they were drinking, Jack told them that he killed Michelle. Not long after that, Paul was out on his Motor Cycle and broke down. Jack came by and they loaded Paul’s Bike in Jack’s Truck. Jack was mad at Paul and told him so. He was mad because Paul was telling People what Jack had told him and his Father. He killed Michelle. I told the Judge and my Attorneys about him and his Father but NO ONE EVER tried to find or talk to them!
On the Stand they asked the MEDICAL EXAMINER “From your findings, was Michelle raped?” “NO.” “Could the Semen be from Sex from a day before?” “SURE” There was NO TRAUMA TO HER GENITALS, NO REDNESS; NO TEARING. NOTHING. Like someone could have Sex in both the Vagina and Anal and there be no evidence of Sex. Come on, be for real! I’m a Man, not a little Boy. Then they asked him:” How long can Semen stay good in the Vagina?” “72 HOURS”. The last time I had Sex with Michelle was on THURSDAY NIGHT. FEBRUARY 13th, 1987. I had been off shore working and she thought I would not be in until next Month. I came in on the 11th or 12th. We had Sex at least 3 – 4 Times in the Days that I was back. She had made plans to go to play Bingo, thinking that I would not be in Town. When I arrived, she wanted to cancel her Plans. I said NO (SEE EXHIBIT G). My DNA Motion. It was filled on December 5th, 2005. I don’t have a DNA Attorney. I don’t know if it has been ruled on or not. They know that when they test the Hairs that are under her Nails I WILL BE CLEARED. They kept telling the Jury that Michelle scratched me. Tamra said I told her Michelle scratched me. If this is the Case LET ME BE TEST THE DNA FROM HER FINGERNAILS! She was fighting her Attacker hard. She had to scratch him. They did test 1 Pubic Hair from her Fingernails and it DOES NOT MATCH ME OR HER. They NEVER TESTED IT TO JACK??? They also tested a BLOODY HAIR FROM A VACUUM CLEANER that was on the Top of her. It DID NOT MATCH ME OR HER. They DID NOT TEST IT TO JACK???
There were 3 Pubic hairs and 1 Head hair und her Nails. Never tested. 2 Dark brown / black Pubic hairs in her Bed. They are say that they tested them with an OLD TEST and never went back and tested them with Mitochondrial DNA. She had light brown Hair. None of her Hair was found in her ed. The Homicide Detective thought that SOMETHING HAPPENED IN HER BED. All of the covers were at the end of the Bed. Her clothes were on the side of the bed in a pile. It just looked like someone have had Sex or fought in the bed. Jack said that he had NOT sleep in her bed since 1st of JANUARY. These Sheets had to be cleaned or her Hair would have been in the bed.
There also were 2 hairs on the blade of the knife. They were NEVER tested!
Before my 11:071 WRIT was filled, my Attorney hired a DNA Expert. She found another DNA in neither the Vagina or anal. I never knew about this and neither did the Jury. She asked that we be able to test 1 pubic hair from her nail. 1 hair from the knife. Have a fingerprint expert look at the prints. Have the 3 UNKNOWN MALE DNA’S FOUND ON THE BODY, THAT THE JURY NEVER KNEW ABOUT. Put on Codis. Codis is a software program that operates local, State and national database of DNA profiles from convicted offenders, unsolved crime scene evidences and missing persons.
JUDGE DEBRA MANTOOTH STRICTLAND denied the Motion! She does not care that she has put a INNOCENT MAN on DEATH ROW and let a KILLER WALK FREE. I almost forgot. She also asked to test Jack’s DNA to the DNA found on the body. They said that he was cleared from the Semen. BUT, we just found out that they only got 2 LOCI from his DNA. They use 13 today. SO, he could not be cleared from the Semen. Again she said NO. That is Texas Justice for you!
After I was charged a Girl named TAMRA LLAMAS who is serving
4 life sentences in federal prison. She saw my article in the paper. She said that I told her that I did this crime. She said that we went to Galveston. Drunk and I told her and then we had sex on the beach. She said that we went with JOEY IVEY and BRANDY DICKSON in her black truck. After I was convicted her sisters went to see her in jail. Tamra told them she lied about me and did it for a deal. Tamra and the DA told the Jury that there was NO DEAL to help her, and that Tamra was telling the truth (SEE EXHIBIT B) of JOEY IVEY. He says that he has NEVER been to the beach with ME or TAMRA. Also (SEE EXHIBIT D) of DARLINE HUGHES. Her sister who she told she lied. NO ONE EVER TALKED TO BRANDY DICKSON.
Not long after I filled my WRIT my attorney received a letter from a woman in federal prison. Her name is CINDY. Cindy said that she was the Cellie of Tamra in prison and Tamra told her when she came back from my trial that she lied to the jury and did it for a DEAL. My attorney did NOT get an affidavit from her and now she is out. He said that he hired a private investigator, but I don’t believe him. He will not answer my letters about her (SEE EXHIBIT H). Her sister also says that the black truck she says we went to Galveston in fact was taken in 1985 for a hot motor. She was arrested for U.A.U.A.M.V.
As you can tell, they will use a liar like they use in my case to get a conviction. Knowing all along who killed Michelle. JACK SHADBOLT.
My direct appeal was filled in the court of criminal appeals C.C.A. and was DENIED. For some reasons they put “DO NOT PUBLISH” on it. THEY DON’T WANT ANYONE TO READ IT! You would have to pay to see my opinion. But, you can see everyone else on death row for free (SEE EXHIBIT I). Their ruling.
On my web page you will read about JOHNNY B. HOLMES. He was the head DA for Harris County for 21 years. He started the SILVER NEEDLE SOCIETY. The AWARD for the DA’s when they get the death penalty in a capital case. He started ALL the killing in Houston. Well, my sister’s husband was married to Johnny B. Holmes’s sister and they went through a BITTER DIVORCE. I was charged on Januray3rd, 2001 and he retired on December 31 2000. When I got to Harris County they knew all about this.
Everything that I told my Attorney and the judge was just ignored. See my legal Webpage. Which you can get thru the direct link to, or go to: www.iippi.org/inmates/texas/williamirvan You will see all the things that the judge did to me (SEE EXHIBIT J). This is what my attorney filled in the Supreme Court after my direct appeal was denied. In the C.C.A. I am now backing the same court that gave me the death sentence. I’m now waiting on her to rule and my 11:071 WRIT and my DNA MOTION.
AS YOU CAN TELL I NEED HELP. I NEED TO GET THE DNA TESTED, GET THE FINGRPRINTS TESTED AND AN EXPERT LOOK AT THEM. HIRE A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR TO FIND ALL OF THESE WITNESSES, FIND AND TALK TO THE P.I. THAT THE FAMILY HIRED IN 1987. CALL MYERS. HE SAYS THAT HE DOESN’T REMEMBER THE CASE AND CAN’T FIND HIS FILE. DETECTIVE DONNI WHO’S THE HOMICIDE DETECTIVE FROM 1989 – 1998 SAYS THAT HE CAN’T FIND THE HOMICIDE FILE. I NEED THIS FOUND. I NEED AN ATTORNEY THAT WILL FIGHT FOR MY RIGHTS AND PROVE THAT I’M INNOCENT!
