Pocahontas Judge is Starting to Feel the Heat

A Tale of Two Judges

Rowe

Pomponio

Here's a theory as to why Judge Pomponio is trying to jump off a sinking ship:

First, He has hit his minimum retirement requirement

Second, with the investigation Donna started and Totten going to prison has given the investigation more creditability and “should” make other Information that was provided to the investigators more creditable.  Which make Donna look more credible and them (Sheriff, Rowe and Him) less.

Thirdly, he has to be feeling the heat from the investigation and Donna’s ODC complaint.  It was clear during her hearing, that he and the Sheriff over stepped their authority and professional relationship several times (breaking rules and laws). 

The target of course was Donna and in selective cases.  Pomponio was leading the charge against Donna because she instigated the investigation of Totten. 

They were targeting me because I had exposed Totten for the dirtbag that he was.  This can send even a Judge to prison.  Pomponio wants out before this investigation is over.  

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see Rowe resign!  He is in over his head on this one!!!!

Pomponio violated my civil rights when he appointed a special magistrate from Greenbrier County for the purpose of "signing a warrant."  He completely avoided the legal procedures mandated by state law.  He would have signed the warrant himself, but didn't!  He used the Greenbrier county mag as a monkey's paw to have me arrested.

Office Chris Cole, the felon from Kentucky, made the arrest along with Troy McCoy.

Fourth,  who knows… he may think if he retires that the Investigators will stop looking at his Wrongful acts and let him retire in peace…..

Fifth,  the Federal charges of Officials (including the Judge) in Mingo County is stressing all of them.  Just Once example is where they arrested you over the speeding charge.  They (sheriff & him) did not follow the correct procedures.  Bypassing the PA and Mag office in Pocahontas county.  This civil right violation was reinforce my Donna’s letters to both US Attorneys. Which should help me in my law suit or adjust it to include that incident.  What they did to me and others is WHAT got the Official in Mingo charged!

Pomponio is the one who signed a search warrant so that the Pocahontas County Sheriff's office could keep my computer stuff.  I have a federal suit in progress at this time.  Pomponio,  doubtless knows that he is headed to the witness stand.  He is scared that he is going down form a civil rights violation.

The Sheriff's Department had no right to arrest me after my case had been dismissed WITH PREJUDICE.  Their stupidity caused me to be injured and cost the county $10,000.  

It is time to reinvestigate the corruption in this county with an eye to the actions of BOTH JUDGES, NOT JUST POMPONIO.

WEST VIRGINIA JUDGE INDICTED AFTER TRYING TO LIVE OUT BAD NOIR MOVIE PLOT

by DOKTOR ZOOM

A West Virginia judge was indicted last Thursday on two charges of conspiracy after spending years trying to frame the husband of his former lover with a number of crimes. TheAP reports that the indictment against Mingo County Circuit Judge Michael Thornsbury alleges that he

tried between 2008 and 2012 to frame Robert Woodruff for crimes including drug possession, larceny and assault. The judge had been having an affair with his secretary — Woodruff’s wife, Kim — and he tried to eliminate the competition after she tried to break things off …

The schemes involved a state trooper, the county emergency services director and another man, the indictment says, but none of them panned out.

There is no word yet on whether the Coen Brothers have optioned the story.

Thornsbury tried several plots, all unsuccessful, to incriminate Woodruff. First he asked a friend to “plant a magnetic metal box containing drugs” on Woodruff’s vehicle, but the friend refused. Then he convinced a state trooper to file a false complaint of larceny against Woodruff for stealing from his employer, but the county prosecutor, who knew about Thornsbury’s affair, convinced the magistrate to drop the charges. Thornsbury arranged to have another friend, the county emergency services director, become the foreman of the grand jury so he could dig for private information on Woodruff. And finally, after Woodruff was assaulted last year, Thornsbury somehow managed to get Woodruff “identified as the perpetrator.” Again, the charges ended up getting dismissed. We’re betting a search of Thornsbury’s garage will also turn up a lot of defective equipment mail-ordered from the Acme company.

In addition to the Thornsbury case, the AP article details several other picturesque and colorful events in Mingo county, where in 1988 a former sheriff sold his office for $100,000 and in February of this year a woman serving on the grand jury was “charged with tipping people off about indictments.” The same day that Thornsbury was indicted, county commissioner Dave Baisden, in a separate case, was charged with “trying to buy tires for his personal vehicle at a government discount, then terminating the county’s contract with Appalachian Tire when it refused to cooperate.” Compared to Thornesbury, Baisden seems to lack initiative.

Judge Thornsbury is not without his supporters, including friend and restaurant owner Peirce Whitt, who doesn’t think Mingo County has a problem:

“It has nothing to do with Mingo County or the people in Mingo County,” he said. “We’re still the good people that we are.

“I’m sure if you go anyplace, you could find a bad person,” Whitt said. “And that’s not to say Judge Thornsbury is a bad person, because he hasn’t been proven guilty yet.”
