11-17-09 Stabbing death trial Odessa American
November 17, 2009 2:50 PM
BY JIM MUSTIAN
After several hours of jury selection, the murder trial of an Odessa man charged with stabbing a man a to death is scheduled to begin Tuesday afternoon. Christopher David Lyson, 31, is on trial in connection with the stabbing death of 26-year-old Ryan Adam Moon of Odessa.
The jury of six men and six women is scheduled to hear opening statements at 3 p.m. in Judge Denn Wahlen’s 70th District Court.
Odessa police said Lyson stabbed Moon several times in the chest and abdomen after an argument. Moon was rushed in a private vehicle to Odessa Regional Medical Center where he died about 30 minutes after he was admitted, court documents show.
A grand jury indicted Lyson in July 2008 on one count of murder. He faces five years to life in prison if convicted.
Whalen has yet to rule on a motion made Tuesday morning by Lyson’s defense attorneys to exclude photographs of two knives from the prosecution’s evidence. Assistant District Attorney Justin Cunningham acknowledged the state does not have a murder weapon and intends to argue the knives — reportedly found in a backpack belonging to the defendant — demonstrate Lyson’s propensity to carry a dangerous weapon.
Defense lawyer Dusty Gallivan said one of the knives bears the letters "KKK" and would be too prejudicial for the jury.

The flea in this case is Terrence Jackson who is a known drug informant for OPD. He was protected all this time and still is. He had the victims blood on his clothes and it was never tested..... go figure. Terrence is one bad dude. I feel bad for Ryan's family as they were never informed of what really happened. The sad part is if Chris is found not guilty, OPD will not arrest Terrence for the crime because of all the drug cases pending that he was a part of will be in question. Where's the justice !!!!! It's sad the police can't do their own drug busting and rely on a POS like Terrence Jackson. He's so low - he burned his own mother for drugs.

11-17-09 Lyson on trial Odessa American
November 17, 2009 9:25 PM
BY JIM MUSTIAN
Last year, Ryan Adam Moon, 26, was killed in a fight Odessa authorities said began over owed money. The question posed to an Ector County jury this week is who killed him.
According to the nurses who tried futilely to save his life, Moon implicated Terrance L. Jackson of Odessa — the man who reportedly owed Moon money — in one of his dying breaths on a hospital bed.
But the man on trial this week and facing murder charges is 31-year-old Christopher David Lyson. Prosecutors and an eyewitness say Lyson came to Jackson’s aid during the fight, which occurred in front of Jackson’s mother’s mobile home at 707 Bunche Ave.
Jackson is being held in the Ector County Detention Center in connection with property theft charges and could not be reached for comment.
Moon was stabbed five times in the chest and abdomen, court documents show. After the fight, his girlfriend, Jamayea Brockett, 26, of Odessa, rushed him to Odessa Regional Medical Center where he died about 30 minutes later.
Brockett testified Tuesday she heard Moon say it was Lyson who delivered the fatal blows.
“‘Your homeboy didn’t have to stab me like that,’” she recalled her boyfriend telling Jackson.
But Lyson’s defense lawyer, Dusty Gallivan accused Brockett of changing her story from the night of the stabbing. He said Brockett did not tell authorities about Lyson’s exchange with Jackson in her written statement or in a taped interview with detectives.
“You’ve told at least two versions of what happened,” Gallivan said, adding Brockett made no effort to correct the nurses’ statements.
Gallivan also pointed out the fight happened about midnight and the lighting was too poor for Brockett to see exactly what happened.
As for a murder weapon, Brockett said she did not see any knife that night. Assistant District Attorney Justin Cunningham said before the trial the state had not recovered the weapon believed to be used in the stabbing. But prosecutors intend to introduce photographs of two knives reportedly found in Lyson’s backpack. Cunningham said the knives could show Lyson’s tendency to carry dangerous weapons.
Gallivan made a motion to exclude the photographs before the trial began Tuesday, arguing they would be too prejudicial for the jury because one of the weapons bears the letters “KKK.” Both knives were tested for DNA and not linked to the alleged stabbing.
Judge Denn Whalen said he would rule on Gallivan’s motion later in the trial. Testimony is scheduled to resume this morning at 9 a.m. in 70th District Court.

Preparing for Trial
Monday night we are heading to Odessa for the trial. They will select a jury Tuesday morning and the trial will begin that afternoon. I've been trying to make sense of something that makes no sense. I can't come up with anything so I pray.
God, as we enter the courtroom I ask for strength and comfort for my family that You alone can give. Be with my sister, Karen. She can't do this alone so I ask that You carry her through this. We don't always know or understand why You allow bad things to happen. We do know Your Word says that all things work together for good. We do know that You gave Your Son to bring us to You. I pray that my family that doesn't know You feel Your presence in the courtroom. Help them know You as their Father, their Comforter and their Strength. Bring them close to You, Lord, so that Adam's death will not be in vain. I ask this in the name of Jesus, my Savior. Amen.

I'm Getting Baptized
Can you believe it? Sunday, November 8, 2009 my 86 year old mother and I are getting Baptized. Maybe I was Baptized as a child. I can't remember. If I can't remember, I figure it wasn't significant, and needs to be redone.
I've been through so much the last 2 years. Hubby's 3 major surgeries, Adam's murder, my mothers 2 hospital stays, Cy's legal issues before that. It seems since July 07 I've been through so many trials and tribulations it's a miracle I'm still halfway sane. I know Jesus lead me through it. No wait, I know He carried me all the way. This is something I need to do. I'm so excited.
Read the lyrics to one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite Christian artists. He says it better than I ever could. Beautiful.
All The Way My Savior Leads Me by Chris Tomlin
All the way my Savior leads me
Who have I to ask beside
How could I doubt His tender mercy
Who through life has been my guide
All the way my Savior leads me
Cheers each winding path I tread
Gives me grace for every trial
Feeds me with the living Bread
[Chorus:]
You lead me and keep me from falling
You carry me close to Your heart
And surely Your goodness and mercy will follow me
All the way my Savior leads me
O, the fullness of His love
O, the sureness of His promise
In the triumph of His blood
And when my spirit clothed immortal
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages
Jesus led me all the way
Jesus led me all the way
All the way my Savior leads me
All the way my Savior leads me

Finally a Trial Date
November 17, 2009 Christopher David Lyson will stand trial for allegedly murdering my nephew, Ryan Adam Moon. Today my sister Karen met with the assistant district attorney that will try the case. Initially she was apprehensive as he is very young and this is his first murder trial. Karen felt good about him though. In the past the DA has tried ALL murder cases in Ector County but I suppose due to the bad press he has decided to farm some out to his assistants. I wonder why this one? We have so many questions for him. I'm trying to put them together in some type of cohesive format. There is so much we (or the ADA) don't know yet. I think the answer lies in the murder weapon. Was it a knife or a screwdriver? The ADA wasn't aware of a screwdriver until Karen brought it to his attention. I personally mentioned it to Detective Barbosa. Didn't he take notes? There are 2, maybe 3 more people that need to go to jail for this, yet they are free. They are witnesses. Unreliable witnesses according to the ADA. I'll bet if they were arrested for murder, and truly innocent, they would sing like a bird. Maybe then we could get to the truth. I have researched TX law. They are all guilty. I see it all the time on A&E's "The First 48. If for nothing else, they ran with the killer and hid him out from police leaving Adam to die on the street. I do believe in the American justice system. I think it's the best in the world. I have faith the truth will come out.
Adam, I know you're with Jesus now, but look out for your mom. She's really suffering right now. Maybe you could send her a little sign like you did with the lights for Jill and your Dad. Let her know you're ok. She needs to find peace. She needs to find God. I believe He is the only one that can help her through this. After all, He lost a son too.
