In an effort to minimize Sue Schoville’s immense screw up in her part of the Baseline investigation, she misstates on the stand that it was her decision to go from detective back to patrol. The truth is Schoville was probably demoted as a result of her unbalanced zeal in investigating and then indicting James Mullins, a Kentucky inmate who falsely confessed to the George Thompason murder after seeing it on a day time TV show. Based on nothing more than his false confession and with interview statements that didn’t add up, Schoville had Mullins indicted and transported to Phoenix, where he sat in jail for nearly a year until someone finally rained Schoville in.
Her ineptness is described by Mullins himself in Phoenix New Times article I Dunnit. "She was very eager," the inmate recalls. "It was like holding a carrot in front of a mule and leading it around. If she would have just looked into what I was saying . . . the shit I was putting out was obviously bullshit."
The article doesn’t discuss Schoville’s demotion, but really Sue, what detective decides to return to patrol? Who voluntarily takes a 50% salary cut? Are you sure this wasn’t a demotion as a result of your egregious work in the Baseline investigation?
Schoville weeped on the stand as she admitted to jurors of her screw ups in the Baseline investigation.
This sloppiness and over eagerness held tight throughout the entire Baseline investigation, even permeating the Phoenix Police Dept, winding up with a rush to charge Mark after bad information from DNA analyst, Lorraine Heath, and absolutely NOTHING that pointed to him as a suspect. Thus leaving detectives Alex Femenia and Mike Mieshlish with having to do damage control a month after Mark’s arrest with no evidence - enter the so-called DNA evidence and a ring after multiple searches of our small home - a ring out in the open, void of any DNA - neither the victim’s nor Mark’s, missed by seasoned detectives time and time again.
Schoville’s screw up with the Baseline investigation was just the beginning of many.
