Maine Man Held without Bail

On July 6, a judge ruled that a man charged with killing 2 men and a 10-year-old boy late last month in his home state of Maine will be held without bail in New Hampshire. This action was taken pending extradition proceedings.
Thayne Ormsby of Orient, Maine, showed no emotion as he was arraigned Tuesday in Rochester District Court by video hookup from the Strafford County jail. He did not have a lawyer and did not enter a plea.
An extradition hearing was scheduled for July 16 in Dover, where Ormsby was arrested Friday on a fugitive from justice charge.
Ormsby is charged in the stabbing deaths of Jeffrey Ryan, 55; Ryan’s son, Jesse; and Jason Dehahn, 30, at Ryan’s home in the northern Maine town of Amity, near the Canadian border. The three were last seen alive June 22; their bodies were discovered the next day.
The 20-year-old Ormsby was arrested after police zeroed in on him through DNA and fingerprint evidence obtained from a beer can and cigarette butt in Ryan’s home.
So far, the only hint at motive for the carnage at Ryan’s mobile home was Ormsby’s statement to Maine detectives that he killed Ryan because he thought he was a drug dealer. He gave investigators no information about a motive for killing Ryan’s son and Dehahn, a neighbor.
A relative of one of the victims has suggested Ormsby targeted Ryan for a different reason.
Dehahn’s brother, Jake, told the Bangor Daily News that Ormsby planned to move in with Jeffrey Ryan’s 16-year-old daughter and the girl’s mother in Weston, Maine, but Ryan had told Ormsby to stay away from the girl.
Investigators are looking into relationships and other possible motives, said Bill Stokes, Maine’s deputy attorney general. For now, however, investigators declined to release further details.
“A lot of things will come out in court as we get him back from New Hampshire, if we have a bail hearing,” Stokes said.
After the killings, Ormsby went to the Weston home and burned his bloodied clothes in the furnace, according to a statement he made to investigators. It’s unclear whether the girl or her mother knew he’d been there.
At the time of the killings, Ormsby was living with Robert and Joy Strout in Orient, Maine. Investigators said the Strouts’ daughter is the mother of Ryan’s 16-year-old daughter and a longtime friend of Ormsby’s mother.
Strout, who has not been charged, told state police detectives he gave Ormsby a ride out of state, to Dover, N.H., after the killings because Ormsby had threatened him and his family. Strout also said he drove Ormsby to a bog, where Ormsby threw a knife in the water. Maine State Police divers found the knife July 3, authorities said.
A call was made July 6 to the home of Ormsby’s mother, the woman who answered the phone declined to comment and hung up.

My Take: This young man is going to need a good criminal Attorney or a Red Bank NJ criminal defense lawyer if he is ever going to see the outside of the prison. I bet he could even get Redwood City CA criminal attorneys that would take his case. Hopefully, it is the right thing and confesses. If the crime scene investigation has his DNA, his goose is cooked. Unless, he can prove he wasn’t there when the crime happened. That is where good lawyer comes in.
Even if it was a drunk driving case, he would still need a drunk driving lawyer or a DWI lawyer Redwood City to take his case court. Whenever you break the law, for whatever reason, whether it be blue-collar crime or white-collar crime like a fraud case where a Monmouth County fraud attorney is needed, you need to contact a lawyer quickly if you even want a chance of working jail time.

Ways to Relax
Most women when they think of relaxing to think of a hot bubble bath and candles with good music. However, there are other ways you can relax and maintain a healthy body. The Alexander Technique can significantly increase range of motion, reduce pain, enhance breathing coordination and improve overall functional strength and mobility as well as relax you. Whether your goal is to get super flat abs or enhance your current fitness training, a Pilates workout can also help you relax. Both can help with stress especially during pregnancy when stress can be high. The Alexander Technique and pregnancy is recommended more because it is an easier on the body. Pilates is more of a workout so if you’re not used to a work out, you should try Pilates for beginners.
