Donald Deardorff Alabama

Donald Deardorff is an inmate on death row in Alabama.

His appeal includes: (see link below)

Ted Turner was a minister of Unity Church, the father of two children, and a businessman who owned a warehouse and rental properties.   He disappeared in September 1999.   His decomposed remains were discovered in a remote area of Baldwin County in July 2001, after Deardorff's codefendant, Millard Peacock, cooperated with members of law enforcement investigating Turner's disappearance and led them to the body.

The trial of this case spanned two weeks and involved many witnesses and exhibits.   The evidence occasionally conflicted, but the evidence presented at trial tended to establish the following.   Turner was 56 years old and had undergone knee surgery shortly before he disappeared in September 1999.   He was still required to wear a knee brace and his mobility was restricted, but he could walk and drive a vehicle.

Beginning in 1998, Turner had leased a storage warehouse to Deardorff and his girlfriend, Christy Andrews.   Deardorff had, at some point, stopped making the rental payments for the warehouse and Turner pursued legal action against Deardorff and Andrews in the district court.   Deardorff and Andrews were evicted from the warehouse and, on July 27, 1999, a default judgment was entered against them in the amount of $3,087.50.   Numerous dismantled vehicles, vehicle parts, and tools were left in the warehouse when Deardorff and Andrews abandoned it, and Turner was attempting to seize those items through the court proceedings.

His victim was Ted Turner.
