Editor's Note: When Donna Price-Meadows Took office, the office was pretty much a shambles. The Former Prosecutor, Weiford had stripped the county's computers even to the point of "removing" the hard drives. Donna had to order new computers, etc. Ironically, she never prosecuted Weiford for what undoubtedly would be considered theft of public property under the circumstances. Now we see here being indicted for a similar situation, the Walt Weiford was not even prosecuted. I suspect that Donna regrets this now!
Donna was not a part of the good ole boys. It all started when she set the hounds of hell loose on Totten which ended up in a federal investigation. This broke the blue code of silence which all law enforcement personnel are expected to enforce.
Take a look at this list of things and see just how "silly" this whole thing was when you realize that entire hard drives were taken by the former prosecutor. Donna was indicted for taking "drug charts" off the wall, even as little as a $17.50 poster. Eugene Simmons charged me with "stealing" a public document valued at $1.00. The charges were later dismissed by Magistrate Carrie Wilfong (and with prejudice) Eugene Simmons will go to any length to take down his enemies. He wants to reduce them to the same level as he is.
damn! she's almost as big a thief as you are!
ReplyDeletethis thing has "political hit" written all over it.
ReplyDeletefirst thing to take notice of is IT IS THE FIRST FELONY OF 2014.
14-F-01
most likely placed at the front of the line for the first grand jury to bite into.
I wonder who might of placed it there?
if they cant destroy you on their first angle, they will try and try again to find a different path.
even if they cant get the goods on you, they will attempt to run your name into the ground and financially destroy you in fighting for freedom against them and their system.
THE COMMISSION ON SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS
ReplyDeletehere's the skinny on the investigator, steven staton, of the case.
http://www.legis.state.wv.us/joint/csi.cfm
here's another grand jury case presented just a year ago;
"Steve Staton of the West Virginia Commission on Special Investigations and Tim Butler of the state auditor’s office testified before the grand jury, according to the indictment."

ReplyDeletehttp://www.alleghenymountainradio.org/pocahontas-grand-jury-2-people-60-indictments/
why are we awaiting a special judge to be appointed?
ReplyDeletewhere is the less than honorable slow roe rowe?
totten worked in conjunction with rowe for many, many years.
price only worked in conjunction with rowe for a measly four (4) years.
rowe saw absolutely no conflict of interest in presiding and deriding over the sir rotten matter.
now, out of the blue, rowe has already conveniently stepped aside and is nowhere to be found.
funny how "justice" works......or doesn't......up in them thar hills !!!
why aint rowe steppin' up and proud to proclaim "his" position on the bench on this occasion?
FROM THE JANUARY ISSUE OF THE LOCO POCO TIMES;
ReplyDelete“I think we’re seeing the trend already,” added Martin. “We’re seeing progress already. We had tons of felonies when we first came into office and then the latter part of the year, those just dissipated. We’ve got a grand jury scheduled in April and we’ve got maybe two or three things to present to the grand jury, right now. Things might change between now and April, but right now, we’ve got very few presentments.”

looks like one of the "two or three things to present to the grand jury" was putting price's head on a platter and serving it up to the county.
remember, the court files that PRICE'S CASE IS THE VERY FIRST FELONY OF 2014.
they had a special interest in making it the first felony case of the year.......and placing it in the first pole position to be heard by the april grand jury.
With honest gene and Blow hole Bob at the helm we might get a show like Jensen had.
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to see this one in court.
Thanks for posting the info.
The Road Runner...
donna may very well be guilty of the theft of these items.
ReplyDeletehowever, if u think she is gonna get a "fair and impartial" trial...........guess again.....
geriatric gene and my lil' ponytail ASSistant martin have been foaming at the mouth for a long time to arrive at this day of destiny for donna.
2. That in or about January of 2009 Donna Meadows Price assumed the office of
Prosecuting Attorney of Pocahontas County, West Virginia. What followed in the next
four (4) years was a tragedy as the said Donna Meadows Price was, and is, simply stated,
incompetent;
9. In January of 2013, Eugene M. Simmons entered upon the Office of Prosecuting
Attorney of Pocahontas County, West Virginia and immediately commenced to review
the tortured history of the criminal justice system in Pocahontas County over the tenure
of Donna Price;
10. What Mr. Simmons and his Assistant Bob Martin found was distressing at best and more
akin to a tragedy. The ineptitude and incompetence of Donna Price was seen in just
about every single file in the office. Firstly, the computer system in the Prosecutor's
Office (for which there was a data storage contract) was swept clean of all file materials
of all files maintained by the Prosecutor's Office prior to December 31, 2012. The only
manner in which the newly elected Prosecutor and his Assistant could ascertain the
status or history of any file was by reference to the paper files. Unfortunately, here
again, those files were in total disarray;
11. The elected Prosecutor and his Assistant however were able to discern that Donna Price
simply did not know how to perform the duties and responsibilities of a Prosecuting
Attorney. During her tenure, the records disclose that there were only three (3) jury
trials conducted before the Circuit Court in the four (4) years of Donna Price's tenure.
The records disclose that literally hundreds of felonies and serious misdemeanor cases
were simply dismissed outright and voluntarily by the Prosecutor or as a result of
inaction and the languishing of such cases upon the docket of the Courts of Pocahontas
County. In those cases where there had been some attempt at prosecution there was a
systematic practice by Donna Price of plea bargaining multiple felonies to single felony
pleas; misdemeanor pleas for single felony or two (2) felony cases; the overextended
use of diversion agreements; and, a general failure to make presentments of felonies to
a Grand Jury;
12. When cases were presented to a Grand Jury by Donna Price each and every count of
each and every Indictment were facially defective, legally defective, replete with typing
and grammatical errors, or contained interlineations and even misstated the
Defendant's name in the body of the Indictment. Donna Price failed to attend to the
most rudimentary task of the Prosecutor's Office and systematically failed to prepare
Orders with regard to motions, sentencing, dispositions, etc. for presentation and entry
by the Circuit Judges;

ol' JL is breathing a giant sigh of relief.......this breaking news takes him off the front pages......for a few days.
ReplyDeletespeakin of cocky clifton, nobody has posited the question - how much did his "professional services" contribute to the incompetence and dysfunction of the p.a.'s office ???
whatever became of clifton's "HARD DRIVE" from the p.a.'s office.....the one that holds all the "COOKIES" of his surfing porn sites while being paid by the citizens of the county.....and all the requisite evidence of "PHOTOS AND VIDEOS" saved onto said hard drive.
hopefully, the state police, the FBI, and the u.s. attorney's office have already issued a subpoena and already have it in their possession to present as EXHIBIT XXX.
...........which would also provide visible access to the wv bar odc in their ongoing investigation of ol JL's "professional conduct" as a proud "MEMBER" of the wv bar.
a special note of interest is that they are going full bore and straight for the jugular vein.
ReplyDeletethey could have chosen to charge her with a multitude of multiple misdemeanors.
instead, they rolled everything up into one giant ball of wax and went for a FELONY.
a misdemeanor or misdemeanors aint that big of a deal.
a FELONY, however, is a whole new ballgame.
with a FELONY, donna will have her lifeline a a lawyer severed and will be automatically disbarred if found guilty.
plus, a FELONY looks a whole hell of a lot worse on a persons permanent record as opposed to multiple misdemeanors.
good luck finding employment after losing your law license and having a FELONY on your record!
presenting this as a FELONY was by no small accident.
purely by devious design and dictates by the corrupt powers that be in the dark crevices of the loco poco forest.
this lil' ditty is going to create a whole new stink for price with the wv bar odc.
ReplyDeletedonna is going to have to self report this issue to the odc.
the odc will be required to open a case and investigate.
yet another black eye on the corruption and crooked politics of personal destruction in the loco poco forest.
she is already on probation and supervision for 2 years based on the results of the other bar complaints.
you can be sure this issue will also rear its head again during the depositions and hearings for JL's transgressions with the wv bar odc.
Over $3,000.00 in COUNTY PROPERTY she took; yea, that's nothing to be concerned about, just let her steal it.
ReplyDeleteover $4K
Deleteand just how much evidence did totten and clifton take from the evidence room
DeleteI surmise that juxtaposed jonese has some fingerprints and a hand in this thing that are soon to surface.
ReplyDeleteMy friends and I are with you, Donna, all the way. Most people in this county know what is really going on, so don't lose heart.
ReplyDeleteHear, hear! Ditto from me and my family! That woman has more heart and soul than her accusers could ever muster. Donna, you have more supporters than you know because you showed that heart and soul on the job. Keeping you in prayer!
DeleteThe books are petty very petty.I,am curious,about the embezzlement but there isn't much information in the document about it.
ReplyDeleteWhat hold weird.honest,walt responsible for his actions never happen .He was honest Genes freind.
Time will tell. regardless we are all of Donna a debt for exposing Rotten Totten. it seemed the sheriff wasn't going to do anything about it any way.
I wonder if beer can Bob and honest gene will make it out of office with no charges against them. I doubt the Sheriff would do it any way.
just a note the items that are missing may have been missing when she took office.

ReplyDeleteWhat's next, a bomb in Donna's car?
ReplyDeletethe wv supreme court just issued its formal order against price on march 25;
ReplyDelete"Last month, the state Supreme Court took the recommendation of the Lawyer Disciplinary Board and reprimanded Price for her actions in that statement of charges. It ordered her to follow a written and executed plan of supervised practice for three years, complete nine additional hours of continuing legal education per year and to pay court costs for the proceedings."

Or P.A office and SO office havr been cursed with scandal after scandal it seems.
ReplyDeleteI am waiting to see how honest Simmons and blow hole Bob finish up.
Their pasts are already rich in scandal as we all know.
I find it interesting that the anti Donna group act as if they are the protectors of the public and as clean as a roll of new toliet paper.
History tells us another story.
Im not a Donna fan but she did us all a,favor by going after Totten had she not he would,still be out there raping the young females .
Our Sheriff didnt even listen to his school girls victims and,walked out .
I doubt our current PA would have lifted a finger either.
While Donnas indictment fail to give much info and it looks,as if some of it is petty at best,she appears to have made,a,big mistake.
There appears to be,a,war of sorts going on between the public the pa the so the state police and fbi.
In the end the public are the ones who suffer from it.
Or pa and so office are in my opnion lacking in professional behavior ethics,morals and are little more than a bunch of clowns.
Power and money are at the top of the list of motivates .
Its all almost to much .
It would make,a good book but I doubt people would think it was real.
They,should all be,ashamed,of what they have done .
Name with held for fear of reprisals from the powers that be.
I believe that Donna did get in over her head when she had the position of Prosecutor because the Good Ole boy system was and looks like it still is so deep in this county. However, I have not heard anyone say anything about her pit bull secretary. Her secretary would block you from going into see Donna, very unfriendly and seemed unwilling to help. if you have a prosecutor that is incompetent and a secretary who didn't seem to know how to do the job in the proper way then you are going to have chaos. I know Donna still has the same secretary and I also know that myself and others will not even try to get in touch with Donna because of having to try to go through the Pitt Bull. A secretary can make you or break you and in my opinion her secretary broke her. I believe Donna to be a good person and a honest person. She had an uphill battle from the time she was elected, the good old boys went after her and continue to do so. I wonder who she really ticked off that want her this bad.
ReplyDeleteHe made the mistake of not going after weird walt and should of knew better than to take,anything .
ReplyDeleteHonest Simmons forgets his past,same as beer brer csn will
no comments; find that hard to believe; guess when it's one of your own darlings, you can't take the heat

"Meadows-Price (634 votes) defeated contenders Robert "Bob" Martin (572) and Martin Saffer (481).
Price said she was "very excited" by the victory.
She said she plans to "continue the mission that I've started to clean up Pocahontas County, get it more progressive and get past the problems we've had."
Meadows-Price said she wants the county to "get past the perception of corruption and the problems that have plagued this county."
"I will continue the fight that I've started with that and keep moving forward with that," Price said.

slow roe rowe and pompous pomponio stated in their sworn depositions to the wv bar odc that good ol' deadwood walt weiford failed to submit orders from the p.a.'s office on a timely basis.
ReplyDelete......yet no one cared.
no formal complaints to the wv bar odc were filed against good ol' deadwood walt.
no "secret meetings" were held and lead by slow roe row and pompous pomponio.
.....yet rowe and pomponio wanted to get back to doing things "the way they use to be done" before donna staked her claim to office.
......and yet, who was the one who cleaned up the mess and unfiled orders left behind by ol' deadwood walt???
why, it was none other than donna price !
special prosecutor kristin r. cook has been outta law school for 3 years.
ReplyDeleteshe's gonna be hungry to establish a reputation, garner some convictions, and hang some heads on her office wall.
http://www.linkedin.com/pub/kristin-cook/38/a4a/61
this issue aint gonna be pretty for donna.
ReplyDeletein documents presented to the wv bar odc, her counsel stated that her family currently does not own but rents a house, owes over $10K in school loans, and owes over $50K to the triplett law firm for defending against the complaints to the wv bar odc.
she's now gonna have to hire legal counsel to represent her against the felony charges which aint gonna be cheap.
then, she's gonna have to have legal counsel again to represent her in a new case with the wv bar to respond to the felony indictment in attempts to fight sanctions and keep her law license.
special prosecutor in the donna price case, kristin r. cook, takes down the chief public defender of greenbrier county for embezzlement;
ReplyDelete"The former chief public defender of the 11th Judicial Circuit was among the 50 people indicted by a Greenbrier County Grand Jury this week.
Denney William Bostic is accused of embezzling an unspecified amount of funds “placed under his care or management by virtue of his office,” according to an indictment. He is charged with making personal use of a credit card issued to him as chief public defender between March 5, 2010, and Aug. 5, 2011.
Although the exact amount of funds Bostic allegedly embezzled is not set forth in the indictment, the document does note it is in excess of $1,000, making the charge a felony.
Bostic voluntarily surrendered his West Virginia law license in October 2011 after leaving the Public Defender’s office. As the supporting affidavit for his disbarment remains under seal, it is not clear if the embezzlement alleged in Tuesday’s indictment figured into Bostic’s consent to relinquish his law license.
Monroe County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Kristin R. Cook presented the case to the Greenbrier Grand Jury."

ReplyDeleteDenney William Bostic, 54, is accused of making personal use of a credit card issued to him as chief public defender for a circuit that includes Greenbrier and Pocahontas counties. The former chief of the 11th Judicial Circuit’s Public Defender office was arraigned Tuesday, pleading not guilty to an embezzlement charge.
http://www.register-herald.com/latestnews/x182748692/Former-chief-public-defender-pleads-not-guilty-to-embezzlement/print
i cant find any news stories on the outcome on the bostic case as to his guilt, innocence, or a plea deal.
ReplyDeletethe news stories state that he voluntarily surrendered his law license.
however, it appears that he is still an attorney in greenbrier county........so he must have somehow escaped the felony.
this seems odd in that the wvrecord.com article reported that he was not able to reapply for admission to the wv bar until 2016.
ironically, it appears that he now works for the head of the firm that represented him for the felony charges.
this is odd in that he asked the court to appoint him counsel (i.e. he had no money to hire counsel) and the judge appointed e. lavoyd morgan to represent him.
even more bizarre, totten's wife works as a paralegal for the same law firm.

Beer can Bob,blow hole Bob and now sideshow Bob O my which to choose.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to vote we call him sideshow Bob.
Just before I woke from a deep asleep a image came to my mind of Bob walking down the street in January in the middle of a snow storm wearing a silver suit that cost him 1000.00
He's got on a cheap pair of rubber boots and one of those little red and white stripped hats with a red ball on the end of it that hangs down past his long grey pony tail.
You know the type that elf's wear and chicks at the shoe.
He's got his pistol out in plain view for all to see and is passing out NORMAL pamphlet's to passers by .
In one hand he's got a can of Natural Ice beer and a poop scoop.
In the other hand he's got a little pink rubber leash attached to a pink rubber collar which has a big brass bell attached to his pet pig..
He's also telling people now that honest Gene is serving time he would be great as the next P.A.
About that time a mysterious blonde woman walks by with a poodle and it lifts it leg and pees all over Sideshows leg as he's trying to hand some teens his NORMAL .pamphlet.
He looks down and sees the yellow liquid running down the leg of his 1000.00 suit onto his cheap boots and explains dam it I spilled ma beer on me leg again.
Hey it was my dream.
As for Donna I think she is screwed , but you never know as Sideshow is reputed to have helped run a muck with those 47 air tight drug cases that got threw out of court, but that could of been because the main Deputy had recently been charged with 66 sex felony's. Or because one of the biggest low life's in the state maybe the nation
was the main informant .
Maybe Donna should buy a poodle.
WE NOW HAVE THEA NEW NAME TO CONSIDER ITS FROM THE ESTEMED MR. JOHNSON AND ITS BEER BONG BOB, I MY SELF FEEL IT FITS AND SHOULD BE USED BY ALL.
