GoogleAccording to an incident report filed with the Saline County prosecutor's office, the three stopped a man walking with a friend behind a building on South Odell Avenue late Sunday night, assaulted him and robbed him of approximately $29.
The victim contacted the police department after a relative took him to Fitzgibbon Hospital for treatment.
If convicted, Henderson, Gibson and White face from five to 15 years in Missouri Department of Corrections on the robbery charge and up to seven years in DOC on the assault charge.
According to unofficial online court records, White has no criminal history. Gibson faces felony burglary and stealing charges stemming from an arrest by Slater police.
Bond is set at $20,000 each, cash or surety.
Henderson was tried and acquitted of first-degree murder in September 2008. Daniel Berning and Spencer Anderson, each currently serving prison sentences for first-degree burglary, armed criminal action and second-degree murder, fingered Henderson as one of the participants in the brutal 2006 murder of R.D. and Tiny Shepard of Marshall.

Note: The nature of the Internet makes it impractical for our staff to review every comment. If you feel that a comment is offensive, please
nomad: Henderson was found "not guilty." The standard of proof is "beyond a *reasonable* doubt." He will not stand trial again for the deaths of R.D. and Tiny Shepard, regardless of evidence that might turn up at a later time. That's the very heart of double jeopardy - the prosecution only gets one crack at you and if you're acquitted - that is to to say, found "not guilty" of the charges, they don't get to bring you back and try again.
If there had been a hung jury - all 12 could not agree - then the prosecutor can take up the case again, but that was not the situation here.
Mr. Henderson's "aquittal" is not the same as being found....NOT GUILTY! There was not enough evidence for the jury to make a "With out a doubt" decision on his being Guilty or Not Guilty.
If new evidence were found, the case could be re-opened. Mr. Henerson could be tried again for the same crimes.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Chad:I know what your saying my son also was raised good,but he also got into some trouble,he was a good kid that also went down the wrong road,I ask myself " What did we do wrong with him" and I thought maybe we were to hard on our kids while growing up, but it was not anything we did wrong it was a choice he made and regrets and will the rest of his life and yes rumors flew that it was the way he was raised he hung around with the wrong people well no one twisted his arms or anything he made that choice to do the crime on his own and paid for it and still is no one can make you do any thing its a choice and I am sure you know you made a bad decision and know that it will stay with you and I am glad your family is there for you to help as we were my son. Good Luck to you.
I agree whole heartedly with ER--I know your family and know they are good people who have given you unending support-- BUT please remember that eventually if you keep burning bridges with them you won't have them there any longer-- remember that who you associate with DOES rub off on you and so my advice to you is get a job-- go to church-- and stay away from people who are not making good choices in their lives-- and don't spend your time defending MR. Henderson or others-- your main focus better be working on your own defense-- Mr. Henderson-- if not guilty of murder-- should have not even been in the situation -- I have many years under my belt, came from an abusive background-- not very rich and can say that I have never had brushes with the law-- and not had to put out too much effort to stay out of trouble-- soooo-- give me a break -- make no excuses for yourself either-- suck it up-- an make it right.
Chad, nice of you to come on here and seem sympathetic. The problem is, there is a victim to your apparent crime that has to live with that for his whole life. Whether they were in the right or wrong, they did not deserve a beat down or to be robbed. 2 wrongs do not make a right. Instead of explaining to people on a computer post that really don't care what happens to you, you need to convince yourself and prove to yourself that you're not a bad person and are an asset to the community if you truly want to improve. Words are just words, actions are what counts. When someone burns you many times, society tends not to believe what they say anymore. This is why Lyndale also has an uphill battle. Ask yourself why, if he was such a good kid, would you associate with people that commit crimes if you were in the public eye after just narrowly missing the state pen? Is that truly a good person? Would you want your daughter to marry a man that was let out of a murder conviction and then assaults a person in an alley not long after? I wouldn't. Look around, hardly anyone would and if you would, you really need to take a good look at yourself. We all read what you did and don't believe the mistake you made (and the several besides this one that you have made) are things that every good kid accidentally does at some point in their life. The fact is, rarely do MOST people talk to the police once in many years, let alone several times in the past year. The definition of a criminal is 'a person guilty or convicted of a crime.' You have been convicted of a crime, so, yes you are a criminal. Sorry to break it to you, but that's the definition from Websters dictionary. You can't pick and choose what you want words to mean. My suggestion is to stay away from people who have been in trouble, because all eyes will be on you. Also, try getting a real job or doing something productive to prove yourself instead of staying up until 1:30am on a Thursday night telling people how innocent you are. I bet there's no way you woke up before 7am on Friday morning and had a productive day after staying up so late. That's what most normal, good people do. Get up early, go to work or school, live life to the fullest, and stay away from people who don't care about you... life's short, don't put it off until it's too late! You can argue all you want, but the bottom line is you're on borrowed time right now. Is this really how you want to spend it?
Listen..or read watever...I'm Chad L. Gibson yes lately i've been in a lot of trouble. I was released on bond today. Cuz i have a loving family willin to pay it. 2ndly my parents have absolutly nothing to do with the way i act. I'm 18 i take care of myself. 3rd lay the hell off lyndale u dont know him so live your 2sense out of it. You want to call me a criminal or a thug go ahead call me anything u want. Cause the thing is i'm not. I'm currently serving in the Army N.G. tryin to go active. To join my brother whos serving us in Iraq. hmm lets blame it on my parents some more shall we. I've made a lot of mistakes n my life. I'm only human people stuff happens we mess up. So the fact is u can say what u want but yes i was raised right yes i am a good kid who made a wrong turn down a bad path yes county woke me up n the old me is dead and gone. Everyone messes up in life cut me a break.
I don't know if Mr. Henderson was guilty of the first crime or not (yes, I know he was found not guilty, however to be found guilty-it is suppose to be proven without a shadow of doubt. So to be found not guilty meant the jury had some doubt) If he was changing his life-why is he in the same type of trouble (assault and robbery). If he had been truly innocent wouldnt he have done his best to prove it by not getting in more trouble. As to it being the parents fault-bs. I got into my share of trouble growing up and it was rebellion on my part. My parents taught all of us morals and values. Too many kids are getting by with murder now adays (pardon the pun), because its supposedly the parents fault. If kids actually had to take responsibility for their actions than maybe there wouldn't be as many running around doing as they please.
Lance - don't give this a second thought. You know where you came from and that's what matters. You're making something of yourself - and you can certainly be proud of that!!
warriorpatriot Thank you for your comments i agree with you and i want to say I am proud of you for what you said and for fighting for our freedom. I am praying for your safety and i know it is hard on you so far away from your family during this time. GOD BLESS OUR MEN WHO ARE FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM. To the rest of you who have made comments on this page should we blame your parents for your ignorance????? THIS YOUNG MAN IS FIGHTING FOR YOUR RIGHT TO SAY THESE IGNORANT THINGS. think about that
Well it seems freedom may have been short lived for some.
For those of you illogical people that blame the parents for these three mens acts, i have to say, and have FULL right to say, that is the most ignorant theory as to why this incident happened, and or as to why these men are the way they are. I am Lance Gibson, Chad's older brother. I am currently in Iraq or i would b requesting to talk to some of u with these theories in person. My parents, have absolutely nothing to do with why Chad does what he does. Because of the discipline installed in me from my mother and father, i am able to be a soldier, and stay alive at my current location. Chad as well as the other two involved are all adults. I have heard my brother say numerous times he is a grown man and noone can change his mind when he wants to do something. He lives for himself. My parents in no way shape or form are responsible for his actions. Just thought, I'd give some of u a REALITY CHECK
throw them all in jail and leave them there for a long long time!!!!!
To Everyone Who Says "He is a good kid who wouldn't do this" or "he's a good kid and just made a mistake".
Just a little history note of some other "good people" who friends and family "can't believe they could do such a thing".... OJ Simpson, Dennis Rader, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer. Now I'm NOT saying these kids are even the same species as those horrible animals, but lets not just let them off the hook because they are "nice & good kids".
This whole thing is a bunch of bs. I don't know Lyndale and I didn't think he was guilty of the 1st crime, but now I just don't understand, if he wasn't guilty why did he put his self in this situation? Doing just what he has done, running around with these guys has got him again. Now just what was he thinking? Evidently he wasn't. So of course he looks very guilty. And yes now I'm feeling like yes he is guilty. What did he think people were going to think of him if he got caught up in something with these guys? I'm sure he just didn't know what they were all about... Yeah right... After being in jail for 2 years which I'm sure wasn't very pleasant, you would have thought he would have picked better people to run around with. Did he learn anything from the previous crime which was a whole lot worse than this one, doesn't appear that he did? How would he expect society to stand behind him this time? I'm not going to lye, I just can't see myself not thinking that yes he has been involved in both of these crimes. How could I not feel this way? And as far as BLAMING the parents for the way they have raised them, (which yes some of it is the parents) but then again I am a firm believer in discipline but I also know that, discipline has been taken away from the parents. A parent swats their child and someone reports them and the parent is in trouble, well I'm hear to tell you all that a swat never hurt anyone. So what is the parent's suppost to do? They get in trouble for child abuse then the child starts misbehaving and then the parent can't do anything. So lets send the child to boot camp, what gives some else the right to whoop the child? Why not just let the parent do what they need to do in the first place? So Lyndale is in the hot seat again, if he is guilty he will get what he deserves. What goes around comes around. So I guess we will all just have to wait and see what the outcome is and then everyone will have something else to comment on...
Well said, Dr. House.
Everyone should be held accountable for their own choices. And yes, the term is choices. We all face choices everyday. These young men CHOSE to take the alleged actions they did. No one forced them to make arrangements with the person who was allegedy beat down and robbed of his money. They chose to take this action. Everyone of these boys made that choice. Thus they can not be excused from the consequences of their action. It's funny how everyone has a place to point their finger, but the reality is the problem is complex and includes many factors. The first place of blame lies on the alleged criminals themselves. Next is the parents who couldn't instill values and morals. Next is society that loves a good scandal. Another place blame lies is within the justice system that is over run with criminal issues and is burdened to baby sit petty issues. It just can not handle the volume of traffic it sees and then be expected to scare kids straight.
Thus it's not ever going to be a simple matter of "ah, he's a good kid. If he only would have gotten a job." or "It's not their fault, everyone just wouldn't let the past stay in the past." These are the type of excuses that try to rationalize the actions of an irrational individual. It doesn't help to sympathize and enable these kids. it only makes a mockery of morals, ethics, laws and standards that everyone should live by. I don't wrestle with descisions that involve beating someone down, holding up a conveinence store or stealing from old couples. It's a no brainer. Many people choose to stay on the morally acceptable side of the line. Others make the choice to cross the line. However, when you decide to cross that line, you have to be ready to accept criticism, consequences and scorn from people in your community. Take your medicine and learn your lesson.
I am glad someone else was pinpointed out besides Lyndale. Since this has happen all these comments have been mainly toward Lyndale.. I don't anyone of the other two boys at all but I Do know Lyndale.
I personally know Chad Gibson and as far as I'm concerned he got what was coming to him. He has gotten away with so much stuff over the years; it's about time he got caught. Maybe this time him and the other guys might learn something. This is completely ridiculous and it's sad that a innocent person got hurt. Wow, to throw your life away for $29...hope it was worth it kiddos. :]
Actually it is kind of hard too get a job when you have done stuff bad. But its not an excuse...Because its lyndales own fault for messin that up.
This reminds me of whats going on. Except Lyndale ruined his.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVTXls4FO...
One of my favorite lyrics in this song kind of explains it hard too get a job.
"It says here you're from Houston: You're certified to drive a truck.
"It doesn't say what you been doin' the last five years."
Then I watched his eyes keep readin', then I watched his eyes look up,
An' watched another job I needed disappear.
'Cause when they get to the line: "Have you been convicted of a crime?"
They say: "Thanks for comin' in," an' they don't call you back.
So seriously, this conversation is somewhat ridiculous.
Obviously Lyndale's friends and family want to support him, but saying that he's a good kid and never had a chance is so untrue. Everyone makes their own decisions and must therefore suffer the consequences for their actions. Some make good decisions and are able to be assets to their communities. Some choose to continuously break the law and are a disgrace, for lack of a better term for criminals.
Now I'm not saying that he's guilty, but innocent people don't usually get arrested for the heck of it. Twice.
Anyways. You can't blame Marshall and the citizens of Marshall for Lyndale's (or anyone else's) actions. Nobody is telling anybody to break the law, because who really wants to live in an unsafe community? I find it sad that he's so young and again accused of a crime involving violence. Perhaps instead of allowing him to associate with the same people and be involved in the same activities as before he was acquitted a few years ago, somebody should have assisted him and mentored him in some way. He still is a kid, afterall, and could possibly be led in the right direction at some point. It's sad to give up on somebody so young, regardless of their past.
angelbaby..You've got to be kidding me..I don't doubt for a second that it was hard for this kid to find a job..BUT that is NO excuse..How many people around Marshall, Missouri or even the country are having a hard time finding a job? That's no excuse to lure someone into a wooded area and beat them up and steal their money. Have you read the updated article about this being planned? Maybe you should...I don't care how long you've known this kid..people said the same thing when he was on trial the last time and it looks as if it is now biting them in the butt. He IS that "type of kid" who would do this...Murder trial aside, GOOD PEOPLE do NOT just lure someone to the woods to beat them up. He could have proven us all wrong and become an upstanding citizen, but he didn't..He's back in trouble with the law and once again sitting in jail. I don't think he'll be getting a third chance, and he can thank himself for that.
Angelbaby, I dont know what you are thinking. Just because you assault a person and are involved in a murder then you shouldn't be in jail! Thats the craziest thing I've ever heard. Thats just like saying that I can go steal from Walmart right in front of an employee and they should do nothing! I don't understand why you believe people shouldn't be punished for their actions. Everything has consequences. Most of us learned that in Kindegarten. Apparently you didn't.
Poor,poor Lyndale Henderson, getting accused of all of these bad things when he's innocent! Everyone in prison is innocent ,or it's someone elses fault why they are there, if you ask them. I'm sure people had more important things to do besides accuse him of all of these crimes!! As for all of you people that are so trusting and forgiving and taking up for him, let him beat you up next time and rob you. Beleive it or not, some people DO NOT have a conscience or feelings for another human being. They are selfish and self centered and will do anything to get what they want! If he was my friend or kin to me, I would dis-own him.
Oh he's going to leave town alright, hopefully for a looooog time!!!!!!
After what all thats been done in the past 2 years with Mr. Henderson, The only way he can become a good citizen in this town is leave it. A second chance everyone needs, He beat up a fellow for pocket money, that was his second chance. It doesn't matter the out come from the last incident. I recon little girl your gonna tell me next he wasn't there? Being inside the jail is a good indication he isn't acting like a good kid. If hes a good kid which I'm sure you both are right, he is. Then someone tell him to grow up and be a good citizen, This town doesn't need this "good kid" any longer.
I dont understand what Jobcore sees in this guy. The only thing he was going to do with his life is abuse his own priviliges that the courts wrongly gave him by not finding him guilty. He should have been in jail already. If he chooses to do these things, then there is no reason that he should not spend life in prison. Thats where he deserves to be. You cant say that we have no reason to want him to spend his life in jail when he deserves to be there. I'm sick and tired of people defending someone who does these kind of things! There's no excuse for it!
YES HE IS 20 yrs old and a young man... IF he did the crime he needs to be punished for that crime nothing in the past that he got found not guilty for that shouldn't be in anyones head. Yes, he did get a second chance and he might of messed it up.. I see alot of young men mess up do there time or probation and do right. I just wish everyone would quit judging him when you guys probably don't even know the dude besides from the charges he had on him.. He is a good kid as I look at him and he does have potential.
well for those of you that say he is a good kid maybe you should put yourself in the spot of the ones he has hurt oh wait you cant two of them are no longer with us. yea he got off but im sure with all the family he has they have told him the first time keep your mouth shut and you will be freed cause god knows enough of them have been through the system they know the ropes, and if i recall he is no longer a kid he is a young man.its not that people of marshall want this young man to be put away if he is innocent.but come on for someone so innocent why is he in the spot light again ?
i know deep down in my heart that ronald is not guilty ppl make mistakes noone is perfect hes been the best brother he could for me. he always been there for me and i love him with all my heart and i pray for him. hes in gods hands now so i know he's safe...
his sister,
PAIGE DANIELLE WHITE!!
may god be with you love ya bubba keep your head up.
To a select few...two words...SPELL CHECKER.
You don't even have to go to the extra effort to look a word up in a book called a dictionary anymore.
It is done for you, just click the mouse...try it sometime, you might like it.
The Marshall Police Department notified The Marshall Democrat-News this morning that the information they provided to us on the birth date of Chad Lane Gibson of Marshall was incorrect. The correct date is Dec. 5, 1990, making Gibson 18 years old.
I'm still not sure where you get your iformation I called the MPD to see if Chad L. Gibson and Chad M. Gibson, have the same B-Day of 10-01-87 they said NO imagine that Chad M. Gibson is 21 and that is his birthday.Please get your facts before you publish such nonsence. We have received numerous phone calls about the confussion Chad M. Gibson is a good kid, And a nephew of the Shepard family.(Tiny and Jobie)and a cousin to Shawna Smith. Any other coments?
This story is generating the kind of heated discussion I expected. And as expected, a number of people have expressed their views in what we consider to be offensive terms. Quite a number of comments have been deleted -- from people on both sides of the issue -- and commenting was suspended overnight.
A few questions have come in by email or comment report.
--We delete comments based on whether we deem the content to be offensive, not based on which side of the issue the person takes.

--The criminal history portion of the story was handled differently for Mr. White and Mr. Henderson because the circumstances are different. Mr. White apparently has not been charged with a crime before. Mr. Henderson has, and the charges were not dropped. He was acquitted, as we noted.

angelbaby20094u, I agree with everyone else I think you need to read the article again, assault and robbery are the charges, yet again. Henderson got lucky the first time and hopefully he will get the deserved punishment this time. At least no one was murdered this time. Read the article again and think about what you just said.
"KARMA IS REAL" said it right: Once a criminal always a criminal. Justice will be served this time.
He got lucky the first time. He had his second chance and blew it. That is too bad for him.
I can't say that I agree with the assertions that society is at fault here. Any society is a group of individuals. Each individual has a role in that group. If any one part fails, then society suffers--not the other way around.
Lyndale was given a second chance a being fruitful part of the whole. He failed, even if only by "association".
Does this remind anyone else of OJ?
All I have to say is what goes around comes around!!! Karma is a you know what!!!!!!!!!!
We all can't be as smart as you Cosa. Oh, one other thing the only people responsible for their actions are themselves, not society or any other person including me.
Okay Mr.Cosa Nostra who deemed you the master of words and grammar? If you wish to discuss broken homes and the rest of society for allowing this, maybe you should take a census of the general population. I for one do not approve of this behavor, coming from a broken home myself and having no criminal record and never being in trouble more than not being allowed to go out for a weekend while in highschool I find it hard to believe that a person could blame these men's behavors soley on these principles. Now back to the grammar take a look at this quote from you comment...."stressed education they would of had jobs and"........Now with the corrected grammer.....stressed education they would HAVE had jobs and.........
I do not know about the guilt or innocence of the accused, time will give us that answer I am sure. What is very scary to me is the appalling spelling, grammar and sentence structure of some individuals making comments.
When did "text message short hand" become acceptable in normal every day writing? Poor grammar skills make you look like an uneducated fool plain and simple.
When did we as a society began to fail to teach our youth the proper way to communicate on paper and speech? If you can't speak and write properly then you can't get a job and expect to be successful.
Just a thought, but maybe if the homes that these individuals came from would have stressed education they would of had jobs and would not have made the obviously foolish decisions they made.
Just another thought, everyone is looking for someone to blame. I think we can start with the individuals first for making the choices they made. Second, the parents/families...most likely a broken home...for creating an environment that produces people like this.
Finally, we can all blame ourselves for letting our society lower it standards so much that nothing is wrong, embarrassing or off limits anymore and we keep lowering the bar every day.
ROT IN JAIL.. THATS NOT EVEN RIGHT..... HE Don't need to rot in Jail.... THat alittle to harsh.. He needs to get punished If found guilty but not rot there ... I can't believe that ppl would want a 20 yr dude to rot in jail when he was about to do something with his life...
HUDLER,
IM not a family member but I am cool wit him... I care about this town I just know him as a person thats like him to do it... LIke i said IF he did he needs to get punished but I know its goin to be worse on him cause of the previous charges he had THAT WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY!!!!!! Half you on here that would of seen him on the streets would of snobbed him or whatever n not gave him a chance.. I didn't know this boy until after the trial and all that HE Has it in him to be more...
Wow jobcore!! It's called the english language. I'd really try to comment on what you said, but honestly I could not understand a word of that, which is sad since it was typed! The fact is, don't blame the town because you relitive or boy is getting busted. Blame yourself and everyone else he knows for not keeping him straight. I hope he does get out of this town, because i don't want criminals like him in this place! A mistake we all make? How many people here have made the "mistake" of beating and robbing someone? That's not a mistake, that's being a thug and he deserves to rot in jail (if he's guilty). And he "couldn't find no job or anything" well perhaps if he wasn't a thug and actually applied himself he could have gotten a job. I'm so sick of people blaming society and the government for their issues, guess what, no one is in charge of your life but you. You choose to rob someone because your to lazy to get a real job, you choose to hang with known trouble makers, you choose to stay in this town. You don't like it, than by all means there are about 20 roads that lead out of town, pick one and start driving....heck i'll even pay for ya a full tank of gas so you can get as far away as possible!!
Just to clarify: There is a Chad L. Gibson who is in the Graduation edition as a 2009 Marshall graduate, along with Henderson. For all I know he could be 21.
There is a Chad M. Gibson, who graduated from MHS in 2007. He is 21. They are two different people.
I for one am tired of "the public" or "society" pointing the finger. Come on! Afterall, who can blame these kids? I mean, "society" wants to give these kids a chance and cut them a break. Commit the crime, point the finger, get a lesser plea deal, and you're back out on the street in no time. "Society" pats you on the back and says, hey, it's not your fault, it's the music, it's the games, it's the laws' fault that you are not an upstanding citizen. -I hope you all note the sarcasm-.
Give me a break! I'm sick of people, age 13 to 73 getting cut breaks when they make wrong choices over and over. We see it all the time. Kid at 13 shoplifts, gets a slap on the wrist. Same kid 3 years later pulls a knife on someone, gets some community service. Later that year, this kid car jacks an elderly couple and gets 30 days in jail. Same kid beats down his girlfriend at the state fair at age 18 but is let off the hook since she claims she provoked it. Finally at age 23, this kid burns down a home or kills a conveinence store clerk and get put away for life. Ah, we didn't give this kid a chance. "We" did this to him by not giving him a break. Makes me sick! I feel we are too leineant too early on. Stiffer penalities for "kids" and stiffer consequences for the parents of those kids. If you can't control your kids, instill respect and teach them right from wrong, you really shouldn't be a parent. I know that it's not easy being a parent, working on a small salery, working a swing shift and not being able to be home to "raise" a child. But you chose to bring that child into the world. You have then chosen to make the sacrifices to raise that child properly. Don't treat these kids like animals in some alley where they roam free and wild or these same kids will grow into adults who are too wild for society and will ultimately be put down since we as "society" failed them in the end. Somewhere we adults became afraid to discipline our kids and teach them right from wrong. Somewhere it became "wrong" to take our screaming kid at the store out to the car to adjust their attitude. And I'm not talking about beating them black and blue or playing sick games like putting a cigerette out on a childs arm. Somewhere we adults we told that a simple slap on the bottom or a smack of the hand would land us in jail. We as society are partly responsible for "babying" these kids. We need to look in our own mirrors and accept the bitter medicine we deserve. We draw too many lines that we don't back up. We, "society" need to find our backbone and stop enabling our kids.
jobcore-
Youre probably a family member or something or dont even have any sense because you obviously dont care whats going on around here....You must want this town hurt, you must want everyone hurt. He has proved too everyone that he is what we all belived he was and thats a criminal!

I don't think Henderson has been sitting in detention at school... as a matter of fact I am sure he has been an "A" student since he has been out of jail and will be an honorary valedictorian at graduation.
I am also sure that Henderson did not assault that young man for $29.00 but was in fact trying to help him by punching and kicking at an angry swarm of killer bees that had landed on the victim.
I am also sure that the Easter Bunny and Santa exist.
I don't know about anyone else but I am tired of reading about what a good kid he is and how he never had a chance. He is a criminal and dhok got it right at least no one lost their lives this time.
Checking further into the name confusion, Casenet shows two cases with the name Chad Lane Gibson, both filed May 5. Case 09J5-CR00234, as noted before, is the case cited for this story. Case 09J5-CR00233 is for an earlier crime, at an earlier date, and was filed by the Slater Police Department. The confusion stems from the fact that both cases were filed May 5, and their case numbers are just one digit apart. They are, however, filed against the same person, Chad Lane Gibson, 21, of Marshall. I hope that clears things up.
thechickdownthestreet,
with all due respect, I'm a little scared to get to know him, myself.
For those with questions regarding the accused in this case: Our information comes from the probable cause statement filed by the prosecutor's office and from the incident report from the Marshall Police Department. As reported by them, and as posted on Missouri Casenet, the accused with the last name of Gibson is Chad Lane Gibson, of Marshall, whose birth year is 1987. The case number is 09J5-CR00234 - ST V CHAD LANE GIBSON. Any discussion about whether this is the "right" or "wrong" Chad Gibson should be directed to those sources.
So, let me get this straight. If I feel like I am being slammed by the community in trying to get a job, I should rob somebody? Yeah right! There are millions out there trying to find a job and that certainly would be the right thing to do! There are other ways of obtaining some much needed cash these days. The problem with him finding a job isn't his past, it's the fact that he is 20 years old, doesn't have a high school diploma and has no work experience. What a thought! I would be willing to bet he is sitting in jail blaming the people of Marshall saying it's their fault he is there because they won't give a young innocent guy a chance. Puhhleease!! The first step in fixing yourself is accepting responsibility for your actions! Unless he is willing to do that, he will never make it.
I respect your opinion and attempt to find out the facts editor Crump but Chad Michael Gibson's birthday is October 1,1987 maybe court records are wrong or something but is it possible two Chad Gibson's and same birthday?????? Probably not.
mo fire man it is too chad gibson from slater it was him go look at case net trust me i know who he and his family is!!!
madison_m,
For heaven's sake, I think you could have got your point across without using so much bad language. Hurt my eyes to read your post. Hopefully it won't last long once the editor sees it.
What a waste. Kid had a second chance at life and threw it away.
LOL.....You must not know what all he has done.
For 1. If he was a good kid and since they let him off of that murder trial....You would think he would change and not hang out with these kind of kids.
For 2. He wouldnt be in Detention every single day in school from what I hear.
For 3. If he was such a "Good Kid" Than howcome he didnt just walk away from this mess he was caught it?
That is twice its happend to him. Why would Spencer and Daniel lie about something that serious about him being there? Maybe because he actaully was?
Why would the victim say Lyndale was a part of this, If he was a good kid? Maybe because he was involved and IS NOT a good kid.
Thats the Bottom line.
I've known lyndale for most of my life. He is a good person. GIVE HIM A BREAK. For all of you who think it's easy to turn your life around are very wrong. After prison time it's very hard to find a job. Especially with what he was accused of. Not to mention that people aren't going to forget about it, so he's probably going through a lot right now. Lyndale should not be punished for what happened before. I think you all need to walk in his shoes for a day and see how well you do.
Do you ever feel that society as a whole fails individuals. Take Mr. Henderson for instance, in 2006 his whole life here in Marshall changed. Accused of a crime and found innocent. Yes he had alot of people behind is innocent and still do, there are those who will always ridicule him, stare down at him, and always be judgemental. He goes to school so he can graudate even at his age. If someone would've given him a chance with a job, then maybe his life would've been different instead of worried about having him in the public eye as an employee. Yes people make decisions in life that later on they have to face consequences. Sad to say that we live in a community that once you have been spot lighted than you are spotlighted forever. Henderson will always just be known as the one who was found not guilty in so many eyes, insteasd of getting to know the real him. He is not just another lost cause in the wind.
Whew! Okay, some of us know what we're talking about! ;)
CHAD MICHAEL GIBSON is Terry and Kim's son AND NOT CHAD L., CHAD L. IS REALLY FROM SLATER NOT MARSHALL, People please get your story straight.
I don't think this is Shawna's cousin. There is more than one Chad Gibson in Marshall. Isn't Chad, her cousin, older than 21?
This Chad Gibson in the paper is nottttt Shauna's cousin. This Chad Gibson is also not 21. Need to get your facts straight. Be careful with what you say that is why no one can believe everything they read or hear. The Shepard family has been through enough please remember that. The Chad Gibson that is Shauna's cousin is a fine young man not a thug!!!!!!
"When asked what lessons can be taken from his experience, he said he learned to have more care choosing his associates."

Apparently it didn't take...
I doubt the money they took was for a burger and fries.....
Dear Angelbaby,
LOL
signed,
Common sense
last time I checked going around breaking into houses and beating up people behind building for little to nothing money isn't considered "being a very good individual who doesn't mean no harm to anybody or anything and trying to become a better person." A good citizen in the community makes the front page for doing positive things. Not by trying to find a few bucks for a burger and fries. Sorry to break the truth to you angelbaby
Third Child---I don't think it matters where he goes. He wouldn't make it ANYwhere. Once a criminal, always a criminal! If he was convicted the first time none of this would have happened. jaz2009 said it right. In the end, Karma is soooo real!
I clearly recall the jubilation of Lyndale's family and friends when he was acquitted in Sept. How awful that he would bring shame to those who supported him so ardently. My thoughts are with the victim and all the families effected by this senseless crime.
it's a shame someone got robbed, but I'm glad no one got killed.
angelbaby20094u, I think you forgot to read the article above, He assaulted a fellow and took his money. Looks to me like hes in the lime light again with Wally for being a "good kid"
tsk tsk tsk.
The only thing I see is let them be put in trial under Saline County citizens! You want to do the crime in our county, you can take our officals punishment! No change of venue should be allowed! Lyndale, Welcome back to Wally's wonderful bed and breakfast, hope you enjoy your stay until you hit bubba's big house!!
well now surely not, these are just great guys and wouldnt do such a think, won't get out of it this time i hope.
Well surprize surprize!!!!
Apparently Mr. Henderson won't make it anywhere. Pretty certain he is who he is and just got lucky the first time around. It's a shame he didn't take the opportunity to turn his life around. We reap what we sow!
What goes around comes around!
exactly like I said before.. All this for a couple of bucks? Wouldn't you think Mr. Henderson would have learned the first time?? Good luck getting out of this one...
OMG! Didnt expect to see Lyndales name in anything to this sort ever again! Ummm.....I dont even know what to think.................Scary I know that!
Everybody said he would never make it in Marshall.
