AFFIDAVIT OF MICHAEL H. BRANKS
1, Michael H. Branks, under oath, aftirm that:
1, Lam a Criminal Defense Investigator working for the Trial Division of the Wisconsin Public
Defender’s Office, a Polygraph Examiner for the Wisconsin Public Defender's Officer, a
Licensed Private Detective, and a Certified Legal Investigator. I work on a pro bono basis for the
‘Wisconsin Innocence Project.
2, At the request of Attorney Byron Lichstein, an attomey for the Wisconsin Innocence Project, I
made contact with Charmous F, Skinner, Sr. on May 28", 2009. Mr. Skinner, St. is the father of
C.J, Skinner, who witnessed the murder of his mother, Lisa, when he was eight years old, I was,
interested in talking to C.J. about what he observed that night because there was no indication in
the police file that he was ever interviewed about his mother’s murder.
3, After speaking to Mr. Skinner, Sr., other family members became interested that I was
investigating the murder of Lisa Kindred. I received a call on the morning of the 29" from
Detective Jody Gonterman of the Albuquerque, New Mexico Police Department. Detective
Gonterman identified herself as the sister of Lisa Kindred.
4, After identifying myself as a Criminal Defense Investigator working for the Trial Division of
the State Public Defender and volunteering my time to the UW-Law School Innocence Project,
Detective Gonterman agreed to speak with me. She stated that William was manipulative,
controlling, and very oppressive towards Lisa. Detective Gonterman stated that William would
require Lisa to do certain things, such as cleaning and cooking, in a very specific way. Detective
Gonterman also remembered a conversation she had with Lisa in which Lisa stated, out of the
blue and with no prompting, that if anything ever happened to her, Detective Gonterman should
suspect William es being responsible.
EXHIBIT H5, Detective Gonterman was not eager to assist my investigation or to implicate William
Kindred, I did not suggest or pressure her to do so. Her statements and demeanor during my
conversation with her did not suggest any motivation to falsely implicate William Kindred.
