ROANOKE - In court records, state handwriting experts accuse Brandon Lockett of "intentionally" distorting samples in the investigation into the death of his step-son, Aveion Lewis.
Lockett, along with his wife and little Aveion's mother Morgan Lockett, are charged with second degree murder and other crimes in connection to Aveion's death.
The toddler disappeared sometime around January 14th. Police found the boy's body in a landfill a couple of weeks later.
In forensic analysis of Brandon Lockett's handwriting by a state expert, the expert wrote "there are limited indications Brandon Lockett wrote (i.e. it is likely)" two ransom notes before he reported Aveion missing to police.
The same investigator also wrote "there are strong indications Morgan Lockett did not write (i.e. it is extremely unlikely) any of the questioned entries."
The handwriting analyst also wrote Brandon Lockett "intentionally distorted" samples of his handwriting to police.
A judge denied Morgan Lockett bond once again on Friday.
She is due to deliver another child on May 26th. Her attorneys said she could deliver by cesarian section as early as next week.
The child will then live with Morgan Lockett's mother, according to one of her attorneys.
