LAMBERT'S LAWYER ASSAILS RULING

Lisa Michelle Lambert's attorney Tuesday denounced an appellate court's
decision to effectively reinstate his client's 1992 first-degree murder
conviction, saying he will do whatever he can "to get it undone.". Peter S.
Greenberg, a Philadelphia lawyer, spoke by telephone from Vermont, where
he's on vacation. It was Greenberg's first detailed remarks about Monday's
ruling by the U.S. Court of

LAMBERT INVESTIGATORS WAITING, WONDERING

Lisa Michelle Lambert finds herself back in court and now her investigators
want their day there as well.. The prosecutors in her case have been under
investigation by state and federal officials since last spring. U.S. Judge
Stewart Dalzell ordered the investigation, after saying that prosecutors
tampered or hid evidence during their prosecution of Lambert. Now that a
panel of three federal judges has reinstated Lambert's conviction, some of
those prosecutors say they would like

AUTHORS OF LAURIE BILL APPLAUD COURT RULING

Now that a federal appeals court has sided with its authors, it remains to be
seen whether the Laurie Bill is worth pursuing.. The pending legislation
seeks to limit the power of federal judges, keeping them from ever barring a
retrial on the state level, other than on constitutional grounds. Bill
Wichterman, chief of staff to U.S. Rep. Joseph Pitts, said the fate of the bill
depends on the reasons behind Monday's ruling by the U.S. Court of
Appeals, which vacated the decision by

COUNTY RESIDENTS REACT TO LAMBERT RULING

A court's decision to overturn a federal judge's ruling that freed Lisa
Michelle Lambert was good news to most as word spread throughout the
county Monday afternoon.. "I think his decision to let her go was wrong,"
said Lisa Kemper of Lancaster. "She was guilty. Why would she be there
that day (at the murder scene) in the first place?" Finding people who
agreed with the U.S. Court of Appeal's action to throw

PROSECUTORS CELEBRATE DECISION
The gloom that has hung over the Lancaster County District Attorney's
Office since the release of Lisa Michelle Lambert in April lifted Monday..
District Attorney Joseph C. Madenspacher, swamped in a sea of pink
message slips, sat at his desk and smiled for what he said felt like the first
time since Lambert was set free by U.S. District Judge Stewart Dalzell.
Dalzell's controversial decision was overturned Monday by the U.S. Court of

LAMBERT CASE HAS FAR TO GO

The Lisa Michelle Lambert case is far from over.. Despite Monday's ruling

in Philadelphia, Lambert's claims of innocence and wrongful prosecution
could be tied up in state and federal courts for years to come. The following

Editor's note: The following is an edited version of the decision by U.S.

Most of what was deleted were case citations and discussion by the court in

APPEALING DECISION
In a narrow ruling to a complex case, the Third Circuit Court on Monday
found that Lisa Michelle Lambert failed to exhaust her murder conviction
appeals at the state level and that state, not federal, courts should therefore
hear her request for relief.. While the ruling does not directly address
Lambert's guilt or innocence, it documents procedural errors on the part of
Federal District Judge Stewart Dalzell, who freed Lambert in April after
ruling that she had been the victim

RELIEF
When John Show heard Monday that a federal appeals court was about to
announce a decision affecting Lisa Michelle Lambert's newfound freedom,
he paused.. "I was scared," Show said. "I didn't trust the system." That's
understandable.. Lambert had been convicted in Lancaster County Court of
stabbing Show's 16-year-old daughter Laurie to death in December 1991..

PHILADELPHIA _ Lancaster County won its appeal today over a federal
judge's decision to free once-convicted murderer Lisa Michelle Lambert..
However, it was not immediately known if Lambert would be returned to
prison. The ruling by the 3rd Circuit Court, announced early this afternoon,
overturns a decision by U.S. Judge Stewart Dalzell in April in which he freed
Lambert, declaring her "actually innocent" of the murder of 16-year-old

comments on her controversial case, Lambert wondered why Lancaster
County prosecutors are continuing to pursue her: "Why do they want to
keep doing this to me?" she asked.. The Times, in a lengthy page-one story,
describes how Lambert was freed in April by federal judge Stewart Dalzell
and how the rare case is

COUNTY CALLS MCCRACKEN APPEAL 'VICIOUS'

Lancaster County is asking the state to uphold Darrell McCracken's murder
conviction and reject his appeal as a "vicious and unjustified attack" on the
three people he was convicted of killing.. McCracken was sentenced in
February after a jury convicted him of third-degree murder and vehicular
homicide in the crash that killed Geoffrey Pywell, his wife, Susan
Davies-Pywell, and their son, Nathaniel Pywell, 11. The accident occurred in
September 1995, when

its justice system beyond the point of embarrassment. In unrestrained,
melodramatic pronouncements, he has portrayed the people of Lancaster
County as partners in a rush to judgment led by scheming, lying law
enforcers.. He points to the "solidarity and compassion" this community
showed to John and Hazel Show when their daughter Laurie was brutally
murdered. "But then what was a social

Editor, New Era:. I'm writing about the Lisa Michelle Lambert case. After
comparing the reactions of lawyers with those of regular "folks," I came to
the conclusion that Lancaster Countians still don't get it. Prosecutorial and
police misconduct isn't just for the Rodney Kings and O.J. Simpsons of this
country. They aren't "L.A. and New York'' issues. They happen everywhere

PHILADELPHIA - Lisa Michelle Lambert "will never step foot again in
Lancaster County," her attorney predicted Monday, two hours after a federal
district court judge freed her from life imprisonment for a murder committed
six years ago.. It was a day filled with joy for Lambert and her family
Monday. For Laurie Show's family, it was a day filled with sorrow. Two

This is the decision of U.S. District Court Judge Stewart Dalzell in the case

Lambert has petitioned this Court for a writ of habeas corpus, alleging,
among other things, that she is actually innocent of the first degree murder
for which she was convicted in July of 1992, and that she was the victim of
wholesale prosecutorial misconduct in connection with the prosecution of
her case. As a result of her being raped by a

Judge Stewart Dalzell clearly intended to send a message when he freed

courthouse and stay away from him, his family and his staff - is apparently
just a precaution. Courthouse personnel knew of no threats against the
Philadelphia judge, his family or his staff.. Dalzell is hearing a bid by

NEXT: TABITHA BUCK'S APPEAL TO GO FEDERAL?

Lisa Michelle Lambert will not be the only defendant to seek a new trial, or
release from prison, as a result of alleged police and prosecutor
misconduct.. The attorney for co-defendant Tabitha Buck said today he will
use those same issues to seek to overturn her 1992 conviction of
participating in the stabbing death of teen-ager Laurie Show. "To the extent
that Tabitha Buck's case is similar to Lambert's case and Lambert's case is

Convicted murderer Lisa Michelle Lambert returned to court today, calm
and relaxed after a second day out of jail.. Dressed in a dark-green suit and
beige blouse, Lambert strolled casually to the defense table, talked briefly
with her attorneys and then walked unescorted through a rear door behind
the judge's bench. She returned a few minutes later to hear the first of five
witnesses whom Lancaster County District Attorney Joseph Madenspacher
intended to present in an effort to

investigation and police prosecution of Lisa Michelle Lambert for the murder
of 16-year-old Laurie Show. This week, as the convicted murderer seeks
her freedom in

VICTIM'S MOTHER ACCUSES LAMBERT

PHILADELPHIA _ Laurie Show's mother took the stand today in a bid to
keep her daughter's convicted murderer, Lisa Michelle Lambert, in prison..
"Nothing has changed...Laurie told me that Michelle did it, and there's no
other truth than that," Hazel Show said today before she testified. Mrs.
Show is the key witness for Lambert's prosecutors, who are arguing to
refute Lambert's bid for freedom in a federal

JUDGE RELEASES LAMBERT

PHILADELPHIA - A federal judge lambasted East Lampeter Township
District Justice Ronald Savage Wednesday for allegedly lying under oath on
the witness stand and obstructing justice in the Laurie Show murder case..
U.S. District Judge Stewart Dalzell told Lancaster County District Attorney
Joseph Madenspacher to contact the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and
insist on having Savage removed from the bench. Dalzell's remarks came
during a series of extraordinary events at a federal

LAMBERT CASE DEVELOPMENTS SHOCK LAWYERS

Local attorneys Wednesday expressed shock over the conditional release of
convicted killer Lisa Michelle Lambert.. And one attorney said Wednesday's
action is likely a prelude to Lambert's outright freedom. Scott Oberholtzer, a
defense attorney, said he would not be surprised if U.S. District Judge
Stewart Dalzell frees Lambert today. "For the judge to go ahead and let her
go ahead tonight, he must have made up his mind to do something,"

JUDGE RELEASES LAMBERT

This story was written by Intelligencer Journal reporter Paul Bomberger and
reported by Bomberger, Intelligencer Journal reporters Jennifer Kopf and
Jeff Hawkes and correspondent Lee Linder.. PHILADELPHIA - A federal
judge released Lisa Michelle Lambert to the custody of her lawyers
Wednesday afternoon, after the mother of murder victim Laurie Show
testified she had been instructed by police in 1992 to withhold crucial
evidence. Lambert celebrated her first night of freedom in six years

TRIAL
Lisa Michelle Lambert spent her first night of freedom in 5 1/2 years sitting
in a Philadelphia townhouse, eating pizza and listening to piano music while
guarded by federal marshals.. Lambert was left "dazed" by the sudden turn
of events Wednesday, when a federal judge released her to the custody of
her attorneys after ruling that prosecutors violated her right to a fair trial.
Lambert, 24, had been in prison since her arrest the evening of Dec. 20,

OTHERS MAY BE GUILTY, BUT LAMBERT IS NOT

INNOCENT
Lisa Michelle Lambert is not the victim.. The victim is 16-year-old Laurie
Show, in her grave. And Lambert is not innocent - how could she be?. A
county Commonwealth Court and a state Superior Court ruled she is not.
The state Supreme Court, after reviewing these decisions, refused to hear
her appeal.. Now, even with newly revealed evidence that supports her
claims, Lambert is still irrevocably involved in the events that led to Laurie
Show's murder.. These facts must

The mother of murder victim Laurie Show is sticking by her court testimony,
which included statements that her dying daughter told her "Michelle did it.".
Hazel Show did not respond to interview requests today, in the wake of her
dramatic revelation Wednesday that she suddenly recalled that police told
her to withhold crucial evidence after the Dec. 20, 1991, murder. But
through a spokeswoman, Mrs. Show said today that she has always told the

ALLOWED
U.S. District Judge Stewart Dalzell's decision to release Lisa Michelle
Lambert is unusual but clearly allowed under federal law, a San Francisco
expert in such proceedings says.. Timothy J. Foley, a Harvard-educated
attorney who specializes in federal-release hearings, said Wednesday night
that a federal judge does have the right to free a defendant when he
believes the state court system has violated the individual's constitutional
rights to a fair trial.
