Top of the front page today - something I heard about ten days ago and didn't write about. All the names.
Convicted felon to tell the truth. Oh, yeah; right.....
You can trust this, everyone. Shane Lamb is going to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. And what does he get out of it? No risk of prosecution for murder, involuntary manslaughter or any other charges related to the disappearance of Brian Carrick on December 20, 2002. No small consideration; right?
Now Lamb is one of the good guys, so I'm sure you'll be able to believe every word that he utters. What about his March 22 trial date on cocaine charges? A plea deal means a six-year prison sentence for drug-dealing, when he faces a judge early tomorrow (Friday, February 5).
Lamb has been a guest of Sheriff Nygren since April on cocaine distribution and possession charges. Oh, don't forget the DeKalb County conviction for an aggravated battery in 2006. When he was arrested in April, he was on parole for that one. For a 25-year-old guy he's building up quite a record.
What'll it be like in the Graybar Hotel, when he gets there and his new neighbors learn he ratted out on a couple of guys. If he does.
We already know how long an inmate hangs around a state prison; somewhere around 16 days, isn't it? Or did that program end?
Trying to keep track of who is saying what in connection with Carrick's disappearance, and likely murder, can use up an entire wall for diagrams. You can read the article on www.nwherald.com, but do it right away, so that you don't have to fork over $2.95 to read it after February 11.
Lamb will hope that he can keep his story(ies) straight, when he begins talking. Will he remember exactly what he has said in a formal statement (proffer) and before a grand jury, when he is ultimately called as a trial witness? If he was using what he is charged with distributing and possessing, will that have sharpened his memory or fried his brain?
You never know who is interested…

It's 61 days, Gus.
Except for the guys about whom the Chicago Tribune wrote. For some, there must be just a revolving door. Sign here; sign there; Good bye.
Lamb got a great deal and we have Nicole Owens to thank for that.
Gus, why don't you call me and i can set the record straight for you considering i'm Shane Lambs brother and he is not able to defend himself.There are gross errors ans presumtions on your part and if you are going to write about something you should probably know all the facts surrounding it.My name is Casey Lamb and my telephone number is 1-(224)-440-8039 or you may contact me by email csylamb@yahoo.com , you see the problem with the misinformed writing stories is that they are only causing more people to be misinfomed.
Gus,
I have been following this case and something stinks. Thank you for seeking out the truth. Per our conversation the other night, hope you are doing well in your race for County Sheriff.
Who is Shane Lamb and what is his background? The Daily Herald and other newspapers should be providing more balanced reporting. Everyone involved in this tragedy/crime, especially the family of the victim, should demand real justice.
Piece meal reporting, creating a drama to follow, might sell newspapers, but people's rights and justice MUST be protected and prevail.
Again, who is Shane Lamb, what is his age, his background, his connection to the individuals, and how is it that he is pointing a finger at the accused?
I assume the newspapers have previously presented this information, however, the charges have changed, and the individuals indentified in this story should be reintroduced. I am left to wonder if the real murderer escapes justice and will commit another murder in the future.
This can't be allowed to happen. Thank you for your efforts.
