On April 5th of this year one of the biggest injustices that could ever happen,happened in Memphis Tennessee when Shelby County District Attorney Bill Gibbons who has bragged about his "NO DEALS" policy made a deal with Dale Mardis who has confessed to killing,dismembering,and burning the body of Mickey Wright on April 17,2001. Gibbons office stated that they did not have enough evidence to go forth with a trial that was to start on April 9,with a first degree murder charge. Which after you finish reading this post will realize that Gibbons lied not only to the family of Mickey Wright but also to this community.

I have been contacted by a source very close to the investigation of this case that has revealed information to me that has not been revealed before.Gibbons has stated that the reason that his office didn't go forth with the trial was because of the lack of evidence and the fact that the witnesses were going to testify that there boss was not a racist.What Gibbons has not told is the fact that the witnesses Amy Brandon, Darrellyn Dockery, and Robert Dockery lied to the federal grand jury about mardis role in Wright's murder. So why was there testimony going to make such a great difference? Plus according to source Gibbons was aware that the witnesses were getting threats from 201 Poplar telling them not to testify. Gibbons stated that the 15 year plea bargain was made solely on the premise that Mardis was going to tell what happen to the body of Wright.

Based on the fact alone that the plea was reached because Mardis was going to tell them something that they didn't know is reason to suggest that Gibbons is covering up MURDER. Because Mardis did not tell Gibbons anything that that were not already aware of. As you can see from the picture above of the Commercial Appeal dated August 11,2004 Mardis confessed to murdering Wright,burying him,digging him up,cutting him up, and burning him, So what did he tell Gibbons that was new,and why did Gibbons cut this deal? Based on the newspaper article of 2004 this deal should have not been cut.

Let's dig a little deeper,the next day after Wright came up missing investigators went to the home of Dale Mardis because it was known that the last place that Wright was seen was at Mardis car lot on Lamar. What has never been revealed until now according to my source, is when investigators arrived at Mardis address he answered the door with his rib cage wrapped in bandages giving the appearance that his ribs had been broken. So the question becomes Did Mardis and Wright get into a fight?

The Shelby County Sheriff's Department and Gibbons office were according to my source who states that he/she has had a hard time sleeping since April 5, that it's no doubt that there was enough evidence to get a murder one conviction. The car lot has a security system that only four people had the code to get in the building,Dale Mardis,Darrellyn Dockery,Robert Dockery, and Amy Brandon. On April 17,2001 Darrellyn Dockery was out of the city,Robert Dockery had stated that he was at a car auction,which later proved to be untrue. Sources state that Robert and Amy were together somewhere because they were having an affair. The person who opened the lot on that fateful day was Mardis.

Sometime that morning Wright arrived at the lot,nobody really knows what happen at that point,but I don't believe that Wright was shot in his truck as some have stated. That area of the city is to busy for someone to be shot, wrapped in a sheet and placed in a truck without anyone seeing anything. It's my belief that a fight started on the inside and Wright was killed by Mardis wrapped in a sheet and carried to Mississippi to be buried.

There is nothing to back up the theory that Wright was shot,seeing that the body was never found. Is it possible that Wright was shot? of course,especially when Mardis had 110 firearms close to him. Is it possible that Wright could have been shot without anyone hearing the shots? Yes especially since according to the records of the FBI when they removed Mardis weapons a silencer was found.

Let's dig just a little deeper, When Mardis loaded Wright's body on the front seat of the truck he went to Mississippi,where he sat for a while on the parking lot of a Daycare center. A woman at the center after seeing Mardis parked on the lot for a period of time went out to the truck. The woman states that Mardis was driving a Shelby County Code Enforcement truck,and that Mardis had what appeared to be a body wrapped in a sheet on the front seat next to him. What Gibbons has never mention is the fact that this woman gave an artist a description of the man she saw,and that that picture is the likeness of Mardis.

Gibbons did not mention that after Mardis buried the body that he called his wife to come to Mississippi and pick him up, But she didn't know where she was going, so Mardis called Robert Dockery to pick him up in front of a pawn shop. Dockery stated in records that he saw Mardis throw Wright's badge out of the window of the car.

The question in reading the above article has to be, why did Mardis dig up Wright and dismember him and burn up his body. Simple because he buried him in Mississippi red clay. Clay being what it is, is cool,which did not allow the body to decompose but to be preserved. Thus he had to dig up the body,cut it up, and crush the body at the property that belonged to Robert Dockery.

Also what Gibbons has not told is the fact the first lead investigator James Mays was told by his superiors to "stand down" when it came to this case. Mays went to the lot and convinced Darrellyn Dockery to tell him if Wright had been to the lot on the day that he disappeared. After placing Darrellyn on the back seat his brother came to the lot with the copy of the citation that Wright had given on April 17, which proved that Mickey Wright had been present at the lot on the day he disappeared.

After Wright became very close to bringing down Mardis, he was pulled off the case and sent to Virgina for 6 weeks,and when he returned he was never able to find any of the files that he had left. At this point J.C. Parrish became the lead investigator. The source states that even though Mardis was always a suspect the Sheriff Department never did any forensics at the car lot,and it was several years after the disappearance of Wright that anyone was ever shown a picture of Mardis. It is also believed that Parrish and Mardis had a relationship, through Parrish's role of being a member of the ATF task force.

Speaking with the Wright family,they wonder why Steve Crouch of the Sheriff's dept lied about getting a search warrant to search the car lot property. according to the family Crouch had told the family that he had tried to get Judge Chris Craft to sign the warrant but he refused. When the family inquired,Judge Craft sent word that he had never seen the warrant. When the Wright family approached Crouch about Craft stating that he had not seen the warrant his reply according to the family was "Prove It"

The Wright family is also wondering why Gibbon's office has lied about telling them about a plea bargain. Frances Wright the widower states that there was no contact made concerning the plea bargain. Frances Wright states that the family was told on April 3, that the trial would proceed, the day that the plea was made the family received a call telling them that the plea agreement had already been made.Never once has Gibbon's office had a sit down with this family to discuss the injustice that they were about to place on this family. Any statement by Gibbons office that they had contact with the Wright family is a lie.

It is strongly rumored that Dale Mardis is closely connected to power brokers who will not allow him to be punished for his crimes I have posted copies of documents from the FBI that show that Mardis had enough weapons to start a small war, Why didn't the feds go after him for violating firearm laws.

The facts presented here prove that the deal was based on a lie, That Gibbons for some reason is protecting Mardis. This posting also proves that there was enough evidence to proceed with the trial. Bill Gibbons can't be recalled, but there is another law according to the Tenn Annotated Code-8-47-101 that may can be used to get him out of office, I'll tell you about that tonight.

Read the following post about all the guns that Dale Mardis had in his possession and tell me why federal guns charges have not been filed against him. Oh yes that's right he was a gun dealer, but the car lot is not licensed as a gun shop. It's also a federal violation to have guns that have no serial numbers.

Several weeks ago mardis was move from 201 Poplar to another facility,I'm told that Mardis was the subject of constant ass whupping and that his wife was having to keep money on his books to pay for protection.

The Wright family is very upset over the lies that Bill Gibbons has told,and the perception that the family is just another angry family. But please tell me based on what Gibbons has said and the copy of the newspaper from 2004 why was a deal made with Mardis if Gibbons wasn't trying to cover for him. More Tonight Did I mention that Gibbons gave Robert Dockery and Amy Brandon immunity? This is why Shelby County District Attorney Bill Gibbons Belone In the hall of Shame
