Kevin McGinley

WHY ARE THE POLICE CLAIMING THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO INDICATE THIS WAS ANYTHING OTHER THAN A HIT-AND-RUN TRAFFIC ACCIDENT?
KEVIN McGINLEY, MURDERED IN TAMPA, FLORIDA ON FEBRUARY 13TH 1998. AGE - 21 YEARS OLD
-  VICTIM OF POLICE INJUSTICE
On February 13th 1998, Kevin McGinley was murdered at the junction of Highway 275 and Armenia Avenue in Tampa, Florida. He was viciously and brutally attacked for fifteen minutes before being pushed to his death beneath the wheels of an oncoming tractor-trailer unit. The people responsible all fled the scene, including the boy who had claimed to be his friend, Michael Lipp.

When Michael Lipp was taken back to the scene, he lied to police saying that there had been a brief fight on a grass area at the side of the on-ramp, away from the highway. He stated that Kevin was untouched and on his way back to the car. That he stopped with his back to the acceleration lane, took one step backwards and was struck by a hit and run car, which spun him out into the path of the oncoming tractor-trailer.
He insists that nobody ever went into the highway and no-one was near Kevin when he stepped backwards. The police admit that Lipp's statement is totally inconsistent with the evidence at the scene, yet they never challenged him about this fact.

The Following is just some of the evidence that the police had in their posession at the time they submitted their investigation report claiming that there was no evidence:
TWO INDEPENDENT WITNESSES STATED THAT MICHAEL LIPP, ON FLEEING THE SCENE, TOLD THEM THAT KEVIN WAS ATTACKED AND PUSHED IN FRONT OF THE ONCOMING VEHICLE

MICHAEL LIPP FAILED A POLICE POLYGRAPH TEST SPECIFICALLY ON WHETHER KEVIN WAS FORCED IN FRONT OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC

A 911 CALL RECIEVED 15 MINUTES BEFORE KEVIN'S DEATH REPORTED FIGHTING TAKING PLACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY

SIX FURTHER 911 CALLS, SPANNING A TWELVE MINUTE PERIOD, ALL PLACED KEVIN OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, TWO REPORTING FIGHTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY INVOLVING UP TO FOUR PERSONS.

TWO OF THE 911 CALLS REPORT KEVIN DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, APPARENTLY UNCONCIOUS, FIVE MINUTES BEFORE HE WAS STRUCK AND KILLED.

THREE EYEWITNESSES WHO SWERVED TO AVOID KEVIN IN THE HIGHWAY GAVE THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTIONS OF HIM: dazed, appeared concussed, not responding to the traffic, totally disorientated, white as a sheet, scared.

ANOTHER EYEWITNESS WHO SWERVED TO AVOID KEVIN DESCRIBED SEEING A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS ATTEMPTING TO THROW SOMEONE INTO THE HIGHWAY.

WITNESSES WHO CAME FORWARD AND IDENTIFIED THREE OF THE PERSONS RESPONSIBLE. THEY STATED THAT ONE OF THEM, A ROOMMATE NAMED ANTHONY LLOYD, CONFESSED TO KILLING KEVIN.

THESE WITNESSES TOLD POLICE THAT LLOYD CONFESSED TO THEM BOTH, ON SEPERATE OCCASIONS THAT HE HAD BEATEN KEVIN TO DEATH AND THAT HIS FINAL PUNCHES HAD KNOCKED KEVIN DOWN IN FRONT OF THE ONCOMING VEHICLE.

AN EYEWITNESS WHO DROVE PAST AND WITNESSED KEVIN'S MURDER. HE DESCRIBED SEEING HIM BEING ATTACKED AND SAID KEVIN WAS BACKING AWAY AND HAD HIS HANDS UP TRYING TO PROTECT HIMSELF FROM THE PUNCHES. HE STATED THAT THE ATTACKER THEN PUNCHED KEVIN IN THE CHEST KNOCKING HIM BACK IN FRONT OF THE ONCOMING VEHICLE, ADDING THAT IN HIS OPINION THE ASSAILANT KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING AND DELIBERATELY KILLED KEVIN.

THIS WITNESS STATES THAT HE IMMEDIATELY CALLED * FHP AND TOLD THEM EXACTLY WHAT HE HAD SEEN. HE WAS CONTACTED THAT NIGHT BY THE INVESTIGATING OFFICER, CORPORAL JETTON AND AGAIN TOLD HIM WHAT HE HAD WITNESSED. HE STATES HE TOLD HIM ON TWO FURTHER OCCASIONS THAT HE HAD SEEN KEVIN DELIBERATELY PUSHED TO HIS DEATH.

THIS WITNESS'S ACCOUNT OF SEEING KEVIN MURDERED NEVER APPEARED IN THE INVESTIGATION REPORT.

THE FACT THAT MICHAEL LIPP FAILED A POLYGRAPH TEST SPECIFICALLY ON WHETHER KEVIN WAS FORCED IN FRONT OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS NEVER MENTIONED IN THE INVESTIGATION REPORT

THE SERIES OF SEVEN 911  CALLS, REPORTING KEVIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES, ARE NEVER MENTIONED BY CORPORAL JETTON IN HIS INVESTIGATION REPORT.

THE STATEMENTS OF THE WITNESSES WHO IDENTIFIED ANTHONY LLOYD AND STATED HE HAD CONFESSED TO KILLING KEVIN WERE NEVER INCLUDED IN THE INVESTIGATION REPORT.

THE STATEMENTS OF WITNESSES, WHO GAVE INFORMATION PROVING THAT MICHAEL LIPP AND THE PEOPLE  RESPONSIBLE FOR KILLING KEVIN WERE LYING, WERE WITHHELD FROM THE INVESTIGATION REPORT.
