The family of two murder victims in Hearne are demanding Robertson County's District Attorney, John Paschall recuse himself from the case.
In a letter written to the D.A. on behalf of the family of Hank Johnson and Chandell Lewis, the family's attorney, Ty Clevenger criticizes Pashall and says that neither family has any confidence in his ability to secure any murder convictions.
During the summer of 2008, Hank Johnson was brutally beaten while staying at a Hearne hotel. Johnson died days later, after being removed from life supports. In October of the same year, Chandell Lewis died after suffering multiple gunshot wounds.
When News 3 asked the district attorney of his intent, Paschall says he will not recuse himself.
Meanwhile, an ongoing mineral rights lawsuit in Robertson County has been refiled and the district attorney's name has been added to the list of defendants. In addition, Hearne Policeman, Steve Stokely has been added as a plaintiff. Stokely alleges he was demoted from sergeant to patrolman for his handling of the Hank Johnson murder and also implies Paschall threatened his job.

I don't understand why the Federal Government has not stepped in to prosecute or press charges on Paschall for prejury and criminal mischief and many other counts. I tell you people like him should fry in prison not the innocent. What happen to having rights? The government is quick in prosecuting minorities in office that violate the code of ethic but are slow to respond to matters like in Robertson county or in Hearne. People like Paschall are one of the many reasons that people don't believe in our Gov or great country. Don't get me wrong, if people break the law they should be accounted for. And Parchall is a criminal and should be accounted for breaking the law. May God forgive his soul.
someone needs to step up for the office of district attorney in Franklin. Paschall is out.
You may not want to believe it but the coverup of the murders in Hearne will not continue to be hidden. The informants need to come forward. Protect yourselves from Paschall. He will throw you to the wolves after he is done with you.
