Just out of curiousity, why is he still breathing 21 years later?
In 2002, he got a stay to test DNA evidence and I can't seem to find anything after that. Anyone have any update?

I sure would like to know how started this thread and just who Bama Girl is? ? ? ? ? ? ?
As for where his case is today. It is being shuffled around by the court system with the state not wanting his petition for DNA evidence that has been lost or destroyed to be heard.

Excuse me for being so fast to jump. If I had paid better attention I would have saw that it was TexasLady who started this thread, but WHY? I guess I just have this overpowering feeling of having to, needing to protect my friends. Jbpro and Danny's mom have been thru enough. Not to mention anyone else who loves and cares about Rhonda or Danny.

Danny's ex wife Judy, mother of the girl Danny raped and murdered, used to be a regular on this board I have not seen her around for awhile to find out about the status of the case. Though now that Alabama has resumed executions he should not be to far away from his date with an IV. I'd like the answer to that too. what an AWFUL man!!!

Not to mention anyone else who loves and cares about Rhonda or Danny. I started it because I wanted info on where the case stood. I certainly see no harm in asking why he's still alive after all these years. As for "Bama Girl", I don't know who she might be but sure sounds like she likes the guy. I certainly do not and didn't mean to give that impression.

FYI
Judy has been thru a very hard time this past year with losing her huband and then having this case to endure. She has been thru a hard time but she is a fighter and she has a lot of support (emotional). I am proud of her for holding herself together as she has. She is very dear to me as is Danny and his mother.
As for Danny's case he was granted an indefinite stay of execute in July 2001. This stay was granted because the Innocence Project, Barry Scheck, Richard Jaffee and Wilson Myers and Ted Howard filed a petition in Federal District Court in Birmingham AL on his behalf about the lost or missing biological evidence in his case. In the beginning of the search for these items they were referred to as "missing, lost or destroyed". They quickly dropped the dropped the destroyed part realizing I guess that we were not idiots and knew that in order to be destroyed there had to be a destruction order signed by a judge and both the DA/AG and Danny's attorneys. There was NOT one.
The Federal District Justice, dismissed his petition stating they didn't have jurisdiction over the case. So the attorneys in the case appealed the decision to the 11th Circuit Court in Atlanta. Judy and I were both there for the hearing. We both heard Danny's attorneys and the Attorney General say that the 11th Circuit Court's decision in the case would have no bearing on his sentence or his execution. As a matter of fact they said that the petition could not STOP the execution. In other words they said that they could go ahead and carry out the execution before that issue was solved. The 11th Circuit Court ruled in his favor for his petition in Federal District to be sent back to Federal Dist. and be heard. Then in turn the AG's office appealed that decision to the US Supreme Court in Washington DC. Where the Supreme court upheld the 11th Circuit's decision ordering the Federal District to hear the case. At that time the AG's office filed another motion to dismiss in Federal District, which was the same thing they did three years ago that started this cycle.
After the 11th Circuit Court hearing in the spring of 2002 the AG's office filed a petition asking for the execution date to be set anyway. The Alabama Supreme Court refused to have any dates set until the other issue was resolved. Why? I'd like to know that myself.
Justice Blackburn, who has held this case in limbo for quite some time is the same Justice who came in and snatched the case from a magistrate in 1999 saying it had been put off long enough, now she is sitting on the one she has to decided on. Makes no sense to any of us. It is like with everything else there is always a double standard to everything.
This is all about some lost and possibly destroyed biological evidence. The main question that we have had all along is why did they keep up with and maintain stuff that was not even related to this case and lose the main things? For example, they have kept up with and maintained a six inch black comb that was found a week before Rhonda was killed a block from where she was found. You may think I am kidding but I am serious that in the evidence list they have this comb listed and the date was a week before Rhonda died. Yet, they cannot keep up with the swabs and slides that could either prove once and for all solidly that he is guilty or he is not.
Hope this answers some questions for you. Feel free to email me at any time for further or more information.

Hi Texas lady I would like to answer you with my own opinion. The reason Bradley is still alive is simple, he has attorneys that know how to manipulate the system and have done a good job doing so, because the state of Alabama simply sucks at their jobs. Why Bradley is still breathing can be attributed to his attorneys. There is no doubt about his guilt. Even if the evidence he is seeking isnt found, there is still enough evidence to make his conviction stand. As a matter of fact he was not attacking his conviction or sentence, he just wants to know where the evidence went. (yea right) In reality he is trying to save his sorry a** and doesnt care how much my family or his own family hurts as he drags this out longer and longer. Thanks for asking about the case. Its good to know someone out there still cares about why it is taking 21 years or longer to get justice for Rhonda.

Hey, You used to be around here quite a bit and I was wondering what became of you, too. There are more than one of us who cares about justice for Rhonda and for you, too. I'm assuming his appeals and other stall tactics should be running out soon. I'm not sure who "Pam" is but she seems to be leading the Danny Joe Bradley innocence campaign. Perhaps that's why she wanted to know why I was asking.

His time is getting limited. Yes, Pam has always fought for his innocence. She was once engaged to Bradley but he married someone else and is now divorcing her, I really dont know what Pams intentions are as far getting back with him. Really dont care, just want this to be over soon. I'm sorry, I do know lots of people care about justice for my Rhonda and have been shown that. I dont post much since my dear husband passed. I saw this thread and should have already responded but really havent been into it much . I tryed to become a member of this board , but they never send a password for me so till then I will remain GUEST lol....

I do know how it feels to lose a husband and it takes some serious healing time. That, added with the stress of Bradley's bs, has got to make things confusing, at best. Weird they won't send you a password. It must be getting filtered out somewhere in spam. Might want to set up a Yahoo! account or something just to get the password. That's been known to work. I hope it helps to know that there are still some of us "old timers" who care about justice for Rhonda, no matter how long it takes. Pam made it sound like she was a friend of yours, that's why I asked. It seemed confusing she'd be your friend and still spearhead the Bradley innocence campaign. Take care. We'll still be here when you need us

Pam made it sound like she was a friend of Judy's because she thought that they were.
As for my intentions with Danny, I think that you know perfectly well Judy what they are as we have discussed them enough. I am not about to be hurt again, by him or anyone else. I am tired of being nice to everyone and getting crapped on in the process. Oh, I have been very worried about you. Dont have the number you gave me as it got lost in shuffle somewhere and I have been in hospital again so I have not had much time to search for it. I would appreciate it if you would get in touch with me. Call me collect if you have to .

You post incredible things on other sites. Please back up these claims of 2 innocents executed by Ala with links and articles and also Dannys proof of innocence, because I know hes guilty. We all here at pdp would love to see your proof as there has never been any proof of an innocent executed, and here you have came up with 2 and possibly 3 soon. Your post on prison talk below...
We are far from giving up that is for sure. That is something I will never do. I have said for seven years now that if they killed him tomorrow I would still spend the rest of my life trying to clear his name. After 21 years you would think if one was guilty they would admit it. He still to this day says he is innocent. Alabama like other states says that they never kill an innocent person. I know of two in the last year and if they kill him that will make three. I still pray everyday that one day soon he will be coming home with me, but the realistical side of me has to look at the "big picture" Just keep up all the prayers because we sure need them. Thanks everyone for you help, thoughts, prayer and love. Pam

Judy, I am sorry that I was not aware that you had a problem with me. Nothing incredible about anything I have said to you or in any post anywhere. Nothing I have not already said forever. As for the two innocent people that have been executed, remember the one guy that you signed his petition to stop his execution, Anthony Keith Johnson. Michael Thompson was the other one. I dont have all the particulars on these case at this time but am almost positive that I sent you what I saw and read at the time I saw and read it. I know that I did with Keith's. I am sorry that I dont have time to search all this stuff out, but with our niece having passed away you know what all is going on and what I am tied up doing. Missed seeing you at funeral home tonight and hope to see you there tomorrow. Enjoyed the hours spent together the other night with you, Mom, Brenda, and Pat.

The only one of those I had a problem with and I spoke out on this board about it was Keith Johnson. He was not the triggerman, and I truly believed since he wasnt he shouldnt have been put to death. Maybe LWOP for his involvement but not death. Sunday was a sad day and I wish healing god speed for family.

Hey Lady, You are so right Sunday was a horribly sad day. Thank you for your wish for family. I know that you being there meant the world to Mom, the girls and myself. Thanks for being there for us. As for Keith being given a sentence of LWOP, I dont know that even that would have been right considereing the fact that they refused years ago and at his death to go after the people who were responsible for the killing. To think that he is dead and the people responsible are still out walking the streets free and clear, never having been interrogated much less charged, when they had an 2 eye witnesses who has told them who they were, is sickening. To me it is very sad.
