NEWPORT-The list of people charged in the beating death of Daryl Ramsey in Nov. has grown to three, with more arrests expected soon, according to authorities. On Wednesday, Stephanie Phillips, 27, was charged with criminal homicide in Cocke County Sessions Court in connection with the death of Ramsey, which occurred on Jan. 5, following weeks of hospitalization after he was severely beaten during a robbery at his residence on Nov. 20.
Later on Wednesday, Christy L. Campbell, 32, 760 Thompson Drive, was charged with criminal homicide as well, and Jennifer Lee Jones, 24, 667 Lamons Circle, was charged with criminal responsibility for the conduct of another in connection with the same case.
The charge of criminal homicide encompasses all forms of murder, according to the district attorney's office. Authorities investigating the case say that the criminal homicide charge gives them more latitude and that, if convicted, the suspects could face life in prison, life in prison without parole, or even the death penalty-depending upon whether "special circumstances" are determined. Included in the narrative of the arrest warrant taken against Jones is a description of some of the events leading up to and following the attack on Ramsey on Nov. 20. The warrant states, in part:
"...she [Jones] and a male companion helped the commission of this act by providing transportation for the perpetration of the above act. She [Jones] and Butch Hembree drove the three females to a location close to the above residence and dropped them and returned a short time later to pick them up.
"The vehicle used was a truck," the warrant continued. "Jennifer Lee Jones stated she had knowledge aforethought that the three above mentioned females were going to the residence of Daryl Ramsey with the intention of stealing his pills (morphine) one way or the other," the warrant concluded.
The three women are being held without bond in the Cocke County Detention Center. An arraignment for Phillips is set for Feb. 8 at 1:30 p.m. in Cocke County Sessions Court.

Woman held in $14 robbery expected to return to court Wed. Admits to being a drug addict

An admitted drug addict appeared in Cocke County General Sessions Court on Monday afternoon to answer a charge of especially aggravated robbery and was held without bond until further hearings on Wednesday.
Witnesses told police that one of the suspects commented that they had only gotten $14 from the victim, according to the state warrant.
Stephanie Denise Phillips had been held in jail since her arrest on Saturday afternoon by Newport Police. She is expected to be charged in connection with the death of Darrell Ramsey, 205 Masters Circle.
Ramsey died after he was beaten with a baseball bat during a strong-armed robbery at his home by three suspects. Two other suspects are also expected to be charged with murder in Ramsey’s death.
Although Phillips was held on violation of probation from both sessions and circuit courts, she was not charged with murder on Tuesday.
Assistant District Attorney General Jimmy Dunn said after the hearing that investigators George Grooms and Lynn Shults were not ready to present evidence in the case.
Phillips will be returned to sessions court before Judge John Bell at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 25 to face additional charges.
Appearing in shackles and blue jail clothing, she said that she needed an attorney and said she was a drug addict.
Judge Bell appointed Public Defender James Denton to help Phillips with her defense. Dunn was assisted by Grainger County Assistant DA Tonya Keith in the prosecution.
After reading Phillips her rights, Judge Bell asked where she lived and worked. Philips responded that she was staying with her grandmother, Bobbie Philips but has not worked in several months.
Stephanie Phillips said she was an addict and could not remember the last time she worked cleaning rooms for a company last year.
Attorney Deaton asked where the co-defendants were.
Judge Bell said he was not aware of any co-defendants. There were none in court that afternoon.
However, according to the state warrant for Phillips two other persons were allegedly involved in the robbery: Sandy Hembree and "Butch" Hembree.
The warrant states that on Nov. 20 Ramsey was at home when Sandy Hembree, an acquaintance, entered his apartment and wanted to use the bathroom.
Ramsey said he then heard the back door open. The next thing he remembered was someone hitting him in the head and face with a blunt object.
A female took his billfold with an undetermined amount of money, and then ran out the back door.
According to the warrant, a witness observed "three subjects running from the rear of the apartment. One subject was wearing a dark ’hoodie’ with a gray center."
The warrant alleges that Phillips had a baseball bat and a brown billfold in her possession. The bat had blood on it and the billfold contained a Social Security card and food stamp card belonging to the victim.
Police also confiscated "hoodies" allegedly worn by Philips and Sandy Hembree. Public Defender Deaton said that Butch Hembree is in custody on other charges. Apparently he has been working on the litter cleanup crew.
Judge Bell immediately revoked Hembree’s work on the "can" crew.

Newport woman faces murder charge
By: Gary Butler Source: The Newport Plain Talk <http://cocke.xtn.net> 01-22-2006
NEWPORT-A Newport woman who was taken into custody on lesser charges on Saturday will face a murder charge on Monday.
Newport Police Sgt. James Holt told the Plain Talk on Saturday that he had been operating on tips from informants and had been tracking Stephanie Denise Phillips, 27, 311 Highway 411, for a few days.
Holt said Phillips is a suspect in the robbery and beating death of Darrell Ramsey, 205 Masters Circle, on Nov. 20, 2005, but has so far only been charged with aggravated assault, violation of probation, and failure to appear in sessions court, "But those charges will be amended to include murder on Monday," Holt said.
The arrest warrant for Phillips listed in its narrative certain details of the Nov. 20 incident, including statements made by Ramsey, who later died as a result of injuries suffered in an attack after which three people-with Phillips allegedly being one of the three-were reportedly seen running from Ramsey's home.
"Mr. Ramsey stated that Sandy Hembree (an acquaintance) came to his apartment and wanted to use the bathroom," the warrant states, in part. "Mr. Ramsey stated that she (Sandy Hembree) went to the bathroom and he then heard the back door open.
"Someone then struck him several times on his head and face with a blunt object. Mr. Ramsey stated that a female then took his billfold from his pocket. The subjects then ran out the back door," the warrant's narrative continued. "A witness observed three subjects running from the rear of the apartment....A short time later, Sandy Hembree along with "Butch" Hembree and Stephanie Phillips arrived at an apartment located at 667 Laymons Circle," the narrative stated.
Holt told the Plain Talk that informants had made him aware that Phillips had been in transit for a few days, and had been spotted in North Carolina and later in the Bean Station area.
"I had reason to believe she was headed to Newport, so I was watching for her," said Holt on Saturday.
Holt said he made the arrest following a traffic stop after he caught a glimpse of Phillips in a car passing through Newport.
"There is a possibility of two more people being charged in this case, but the investigation is still ongoing, so we cannot release names at this time," said Newport Police Det. Lynn Shults, who assisted Holt as Phillips was being booked on Saturday.

NEWPORT-Another local woman has been charged in the robbery and beating death of Daryl Ramsey in November, 2005.
Sandra K. Hembree, 24, 1311 Milky Way, was charged in Cocke County General Sessions Court on Thursday with criminal homicide and especially aggravated robbery in connection with the Nov. 20 incident, which resulted in the death of 63-year-old Daryl Ramsey, of 205 Masters Circle, on Jan. 5.
The charges against Hembree follow appearances in sessions court this week by Stephanie Phillips and Christy L. Campbell, 32, 760 Thompson Drive, who were both charged with criminal homicide, and Jennifer Lee Jones, 24, 667 Lamons Circle, who was charged with criminal responsibility for the conduct of another in connection with the same case.
During her appearance before Sessions Court Judge John Bell, Hembree, like the other suspects, told Bell when asked why she had no job, thus rendering her incapable of paying for the services of an attorney to represent her, "I have a drug problem."
Hembree told Bell she had not filed an income tax return since 2000, after which Bell assigned former assistant prosecutor Tim Arrants to represent her in future court proceedings. Newport attorney Roger Smith has been assigned to defend Jones; Newport attorney Brad Davidson has been assigned to defend Campbell; and public defender Keith Haas will defend Phillips.
The narrative of the arrest warrant for Hembree on a charge of criminal homicide contained specific allegations concerning the Nov. 20 attack on Ramsey. The warrant stated, in part:
"Sandy Kay Hembree was in the company of two other females when they went to the residence of Daryl Ramsey with the intention of robbing him of his medication (morphine tablets) and his billfold contents. Stephanie Phillips and Christy Campbell used a baseball bat to strike Mr. Ramsey about the head and face and took his billfold and contents and his medication (morphine tablets).
"The three females fled the scene and were later picked up in a pickup truck by Butch Hembree and Jennifer Jones," the warrant continued. "Stephanie Phillips was carrying the baseball bat. They then traveled to the residence of Jennifer Jones, located at 667 Lamons Circle...They used syringes to inject one another up. The bat was thrown out of the vehicle on Thompson Drive and was later recovered."
Within the narrative of the warrant charging Sandy Hembree with especially aggravated robbery, it states, in part:
"Stephanie Phillips had blood on her right hand and she stated that they had robbed the 'old man' and he only had $14."
Bell set bond for Hembree at $150,000, and set her preliminary hearing for Feb. 8 at 1:30 p.m.
Ricky "Butch" Hembree, who is named as a suspect in state warrants in the alleged robbery, had not been charged in connection with the crime as of press time on Friday.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Five suspects in the November 2005 beating and robbery of a Newport man will face preliminary hearings on Wednesday, February 8. Cocke County General Sessions Judge John Bell is expected to preside during the hearings for the four women and man charged in the death of Daryl Ramsey who died in early January. Ramsey, 63, lived at 205 Masters Circle and was allegedly robbed of $14 and morphine medication.
Additional charges have been placed against two of the suspects. Jennifer Lee Jones, 24, of 667 Lamons Circle is charged with facilitation of especially aggravated robbery. She had originally been charged with criminal responsibility for the conduct of another in connection with the baseball bat attack on Ramsey. Cristy Lynn Campbell, 32, of 760 Thompson Drive, was also charged with especially aggravated robbery.
She also faces a charge of criminal homicide. According to the state warrant against Campbell, on Nov. 20 she gave a statement to police that she was one of the females involved in the incident.
On Jan. 21, she showed Newport criminal investigators George Grooms and Lynn Shults the location of the baseball bat allegedly used by Stephanie Phillips. Phillips, 27, is charged with criminal homicide and was arraigned in January after Ramsey died on Jan. 5 at University of Tenn. Medical Center. Sandra K. Hembree. 24, of 1311 Milky Way, Newport, has been charged with criminal homicide and especially aggravated robbery. According to a statement Jones gave to police, she and Ricky Butch Hembree, 20, of 918 Chicken Hollow Road, gave the three other women a ride in a truck, dropping them off near the Ramsey residence. This was the day Ramsey was attacked. The five suspects are being held in the county jail pending the preliminary hearings.

Five charged in baseball bat killing
By: Gilbert Soesbee
03-09-2006
Special To The Plain Talk Five people were indicted on Tuesday by the Cocke County Grand Jury in connection with the November beating death of a local man with a baseball bat. Named by the panel-which reported the results of its second day of deliberations to Circuit Judge Ben W. Hooper II about 5 p.m.
Tuesday-are Christy Lynn Campbell, 32, 760 Thompson Drive; Stephanie Denise Phillips, 27; Sandra Kay Hembree, 24, 1311 Milky Way; Jennifer Lee Jones, 24, 667 Lamons Circle; and Ricky Butch Hembree, 20, 918 Chicken Hollow Rd. The five defendants are accused in connection with the death of Daryl Ramsey on November 20, 2005. Ramsey was beaten to death with a baseball bat. Robbery appears to have been the motive for the killing. The grand jury found that medication and a billfold were stolen from the victim. Campbell, Phillips, and Sandra Hembree are charged in separate three-count indictments with two counts of first-degree murder and especially aggravated robbery. The indictment accuses the trio of standard first-degree premeditated murder, of first-degree murder committed during the commission of another felony, and with robbery of the victim in his home with the use of a deadly weapon-the baseball bat. The remaining two defendants-Jones and Ricky Hembree-are each charged in separate three-count indictments with two counts of facilitation to commit first-degree murder and facilitation to commit especially aggravated robbery. Although they were apparently not involved directly in the Ramsey killing, the grand jury found that those defendants "furnished substantial assistance" to the other three defendants in the commission of the crime. The five defendants were arrested separately since November by Cocke County Sheriff's Department investigators. All five defendants will be arraigned by Judge Hooper on Monday, March 20, at 9 a.m.

Three women take 20-year sentences in beating death
Source: The Newport Plain Talk

Fourteen dollars and a handful of prescription medication was the motivation for the brutal beating death of a handicapped 65-year-old Newport man in November 2005, District Attorney General Jimmy Dunn said in criminal court on Tuesday. In a case described by Circuit Judge Ben W. Hooper as "one of the worst cases we've had," three Newport women entered guilty pleas in Cocke County Circuit Court Tuesday and accepted 20-year prison sentences in connection with the assault and resulting death of 65-year-old Daryl Ramsey, who was killed when intruders broke into his Masters Circle home on November 20, 2005. He died in a Knoxville hospital the following January 5 of what an autopsy described as "blunt force trauma."
The three defendants, who were originally charged with first-degree murder, felony murder, and especially aggravated robbery, are Stephanie Denise Phillips, 28, of 311 Highway 411; Christy Lynn Campbell, 33, of 760 Thompson Drive; and Sandra Kay Hembree, 25, of 1311 Milky Way.
In negotiated pleas entered on Tuesday before Judge Hooper, all three women pled guilty to second-degree murder and especially aggravated robbery and agreed to a net sentence of 20 years in a state penitentiary. Although the plea agreement requires that the defendants serve 100 percent of the prison term, Judge Hooper indicated that, with credits for good behavior, they could be eligible for parole after 85 percent of the term.
District Attorney General Dunn told the court on Tuesday that the three defendants, armed with a baseball bat, "went inside [the victim's residence at 205 Myers Circle] and struck Mr. Phillips in the back of the head, knocking his eyeball out of his head and onto his cheek and causing a severe laceration to his head.
"One of the defendants took prescription medication, which contained morphine tablets, and approximately $14 from the person of Daryl Ramsey, and [the defendants] then ran out to the back of the residence."
Responding to a question from Judge Hooper, Dunn said the state's evidence suggests that Phillips wielded the baseball bat, but Assistant District Public Defender Keith Haas said other evidence indicates Campbell had control of the bat at least some of the time.

Defendant pleads to lesser charge in baseball bat killing
By: Gilbert Soesbee

06-21-2007
The fourth of the five suspects named by the Cocke County Grand Jury on March 8, 2006, in connection with the 2005 beating death of a local man with a baseball bat pled guilty this week to a lesser charge in Cocke County Circuit Court. Ricky Hembree, 22, of 918 Chicken Hollow Road, has served 561 days in the county jail since he was arrested, along with four other suspects, after the November 5, 2005, attack on the handicapped victim. The five defendants were indicted by the local grand jury on March 8, 2006. Prosecutors and defense attorney Barry Valentine negotiated an agreement Tuesday which allowed Hembree to plead guilty to the lesser offense of facilitation to commit second-degree murder. Two remaining charges in the indictment were dismissed under the terms of the agreement. He was sentenced to eight years under the terms of that agreement. The agreement apparently also recognizes the defendant's lesser participation in the crime itself, but finds that he "furnished substantial assistance" to the other defendants in the commission of the crime. Hembree is alleged to have driven his wife, Sandra Kay Hembree, 26, of 1311 Milky Way, and two other women, Christy Lynn Campbell, 35, of 760 Thompson Drive, and Stephanie Denise Phillips, 29, to the Daryl Ramsey residence on the day of the killing. The three women are alleged to have gone inside the residence and assaulted Ramsey with a baseball bat. District Attorney General Jimmy Dunn has told the court that the impact of the bat on the back of the victim's head and on his back caused one of his eyes to come out of its socket and onto his cheek. Ramsey survived for about a year after the attack before dying at University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville. Robbery is the alleged motive for the beating. The victim's wallet, containing about $14, and his prescription morphine were stolen in the incident. When the plea was entered this week, Circuit Judge Ben W. Hooper II noted the 561 days Hembree has already spent in jail and agreed with the plea-bargain's provision that the balance of the sentence be reduced to a term in the Community Corrections Program. Campbell, Phillips, and Sandra Hembree were charged in separate three-count indictments with two counts of first-degree murder and especially aggravated robbery. They pled guilty to second-degree murder and are currently serving 20 year prison sentences. The five defendants were arrested separately by Cocke County Sheriff's Department investigators.

Woman's request to set aside murder plea denied by judge
Author: Gilbert Soesbee
NEWPORT-On February 20, 2007, Stephanie Denise Phillips pled guilty to second-degree murder and especially aggravated robbery in connection with the beating death of a Newport man in November 2005.
She now wants that plea-bargain set aside because she claims she did not understand the full implications of the plea and that her attorney did not properly advise her before she entered her plea.
After a four-hour hearing, which ended about 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Circuit Judge Ben W. Hooper II refused to set aside the plea and denied Phillips' request for post-conviction relief.
Phillips, 31, whose address was 311 Highway 411 at the time of her conviction, was one of three women who pled guilty in 2007 to second-degree murder and especially aggravated robbery and agreed to a net sentence of 20 years in a state penitentiary.
A fourth defendant pled guilty to facilitation to commit second-degree murder and was sentenced to eight years in jail. And charges against a fifth defendant were dismissed in Cocke County criminal court.
The convictions stem from the brutal baseball-bat-beating death of a handicapped 65-year-old Newport man in November 2005. Sixty-five-year-old Daryl Ramsey was killed when intruders broke into his Masters Circle home on November 20, 2005. He died in a Knoxville hospital the following January 5 of what an autopsy described as "blunt force trauma."
In post-conviction relief petitions filed with the court, Phillips alleges that she was not advised of, and did not fully understand, the full implications of her guilty plea in the case.
She testified before Judge Hooper on Tuesday that she believed she would be eligible for work credits and for good behavior credits which would substantially reduce the time she would actually have to serve. She said she did not understand how jail credits are calculated by the Tennessee Department of Correction and thought that she would be eligible for credits which could reduce her time served to as little as ten years.
She said Assistant District Public Defender Keith Haas did not fully explain the consequences of a guilty plea in the case and led her to believe that her actual prison time would be less than the time she later learned was actually allowed by law.
She also claims she was forced to stay "in an atmosphere of stress and trouble" in the Cocke County Jail because she was being housed with her co-defendants. This atmosphere led her to make an uninformed decision when she entered the plea of guilty, she alleges.
But District Attorney General Jimmy Dunn, when cross-examining the defendant on Tuesday, reviewed each segment of a transcript of the 2007 plea hearing before Judge Hooper.
That transcript showed that Phillips was advised by the court and by her defense attorney that Tennessee law requires that defendants convicted of second-degree murder and especially aggravated robbery serve 100 percent of the prison term. But Judge Hooper specifically told Phillips that the law allows inmates to earn good behavior credits which could reduce the time they must serve before being eligible for parole.
But even with those credits, Phillips would be required to serve at least 85 percent of her sentence, the judge explained.
Following the testimony in the hearing on Tuesday, Judge Hooper ruled that Phillips' post-conviction relief petition was without merit. He found that she was advised during the hearing that her sentence could be reduced by no more than 15 percent for good behavior.
He said that any advice she received from fellow inmates concerning her sentence carries no weight and that she was told the legal implications of her plea.
Judge Hooper also found that attorney Haas had represented his client well during the proceedings and had fully explained the plea agreement to her.
He held that she had "freely, voluntarily, and understandingly" entered into a negotiated plea agreement with state prosecutors and that "there is no basis in fact or law that she received ineffective assistance of counsel in any way."
Defense attorney Charlotte Ann Leibrock may now appeal Judge Hooper's ruling to the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals.
During the 2007 sentencing hearing, District Attorney General Dunn told the court on Tuesday that the defendants, armed with a baseball bat, "went inside [the victim's residence at 205 Myers Circle] and struck Mr. Ramsey in the back of the head, knocking his eyeball out of his head and onto his cheek and causing a severe laceration to his head.
"One of the defendants took prescription medication, which contained morphine tablets, and approximately $14 from the person of Daryl Ramsey, and [the defendants] then ran out to the back of the residence."
Dunn said the state's evidence suggests that Phillips wielded the baseball bat, but defense attorney Haas said other evidence indicates another defendant had control of the bat at least some of the time.
Both Christy Lynn Campbell, 35, of 760 Thompson Drive, and Sandra Kay Hembree, 27, of 1311 Milky Way, pled guilty to second-degree murder and especially aggravated robbery and received identical sentences as the one received by Phillips.
A fourth defendant, Ricky Hembree, 24, of 918 Chicken Hollow Road, pled guilty to the lesser offense of facilitation to commit second-degree murder and two remaining charges in the indictment were dismissed under the terms of the agreement.
He was sentenced to eight years in jail. The agreement recognized the defendant's lesser participation in the crime itself, but found that he "furnished substantial assistance" to the other defendants in the commission of the crime.
Hembree is alleged to have driven the women to the Ramsey residence on the day of the killing.
After serving 561 days in the Cocke County Jail, Hembree was allowed to serve the balance of his sentence in the Community Corrections Program.
Charges against a fifth defendant were dismissed by the state in July 2007.
