So how long was Lucas D Smith, 29 in prision for FORGERY and 2nd DEGREE THEFT? The article is not clear. 2 years or 4 years?
Lucas Smith of Cedar Rapids has surfaced, then disappeared, again, this time on the fringe of the fringe world of Obama birthers.
Smith recently claimed to have a birth certificate proving President Barack Obama was born in Kenya. That’s according to a July 19 post at Worldnet Daily, the conservative Web site that’s become a clearinghouse for theorists’ claims that Obama is constitutionally unqualified to be president.
According to the post, someone claiming to be Lucas Smith , “a former resident of Cedar Rapids,” tried to auction a Kenyan birth certificate for Obama on eBay. But when Worldnet tried to verify the document, Smith dropped out of contact, “only fueling belief the sale was a scam.”
Smith, whoever he is, gained local notice in 2003, when someone by that name agreed to sell a kidney to an Oswego, N.Y., man who needed a transplant, The deal broke down when Smith demanded $600 upfront from the man’s family.
A police investigation failed to locate Smith, or any evidence that he was in the area — or whether his aborted attempt to sell a kidney was illegal.
Online court records say Lucas D. Smith, now 29, was convicted in Linn County of forgery in May 1998 and second-degree theft in May 2000. He was released from prison Dec. 25, 2002, the Department of Corrections says.

No ones denies that I was in prison for three years. All of 2000(January 27th), 2001, 2002 discharged (December 25th).
In case you haven’t put it together yet, that prison sentence was BEFORE the kidney news article.
Again, who sells a kidney for $600? Not even in India or Bangladesh.
Who would go through several months of testing to earn $600?
And again, why do you NOT make attention of that fact that this young man was given a kidney (for FREE) from a woman in Cedar Rapids, Iowa (my hometown is Cedar Rapids).
The young man died 4 years later in 2008.
Again, get your story straight.
What a half-rate researcher.
