is cocky clifton gonna be considered as a replacement for martin??? he's got plenty of experience as an a.p.a................and for the next few months, still has a license to practice law in wv. someone should bring up this idea at the next cc meeting.
so who will be the next assistant prosecuting attorney? weve had some real winners over the last few years-
tony tatano. j.l. cifton. robert p. martin
all have held the same title and all have face criminal charges while in office. keep up the good work and continue the tradition of excellence in the loco poco forest!
I can see the advertisement now in the loco poco times......
now open. the law offices of martin, price, tatano & clifton, esq. specializing in the legal defense of embezzlement, animal abuse, sexual assault, and substance abuse incidents. "where your loss is our gain............before we lose it again"
once upon a time in a dark, dark mountain forest....
lets hope there is plenty of bad blood to go around. martin can file a formal complaint against simmons with the wv bar odc. simmons can file a formal complaint against martin with the wv bar odc. the joint nuclear assault will take out both parties at the same time.
martin can turn informant and call the state police, fbi, and u.s. attorneys office to expose the practices of the pcsd, the prosecutors office, and the judges. he wont even have to violate attorney-client privilege. remember, there was never an official legal relationship between the two, and martin was never officially hired to represent the pcsd or the sheriff. it was all done on a volunteer basis.
the sheriffs department will collapse and have to be rebuilt from the ground up with new leadership and new deputies. martin escapes revenge and retires to the pink pig hotel in belize, only to have an unfortunate scuba diving incident with the alligators and crocodiles. the county commission implodes from multiple lawsuits and all seats are vacated in disgrace.
the citizens can breathe a sigh of relief and begin to rebuild their county in a world free of corruption and malfeasance. ............and they all lived happily ever after. the end.
what a county ......no place like it........you shit can your assistant p.a. and give no reason or explanation as to why ,and no one asks any questions .....no so called newspaper or radio station even wonders w.t.f. or asks w.t.f.....i am shocked that even that little blurb was even tacked on the end of that article ......cause any where else this would be a big deal indeed,but not here .......imagine that loose cannon was running around our courthouse with a pistol strapped on his belt ........norman does this mean you will never show his beer can bob mug shot again ???????that picture sure does put a smile on my face ...a real keeper..... ..... i think we the people need an explanation ....... what happened ??????? norman this did not come about by your pesky little motion to the supreme`s that you made on b.c.b. double dipping ,did it ????????that would be some poetic justice wouldn`t it seems like these creeps just might all be imploding ...........
running around as assistant prosecutor with a gun strapped on his belt sure indicates his "faith in the judicial sytem" to protect him as one of its servants. either that..............or its extreme paranoia of the county citizens......or that of his fellow "servants of justice".......never knowing exactly who and from what direction he would be attacked.
I also recall tony tatano stating that he felt that he had to carry a personal firearm while he was assistant prosecuting attorney. he stated this in the deposition taken by the wv bar odc, where he was accused of embezzlement of client funds and was fleeced of his law license. the fat man had this deposition posted on the etater/ptater. I distinctly remember this because tatano told the wv bar investigators that he was in the position of "taking away the liberties of citizens as a.p.a.", and no longer felt safe walking around the county without packing heat. I still have a copy of this deposition, and so does the fat man, if anybody needs to see it.
let robert p. martin sing like a songbird. there is no attorney-client privilege to be violated.........
"“The employment of outside counsel, when I got on the [meeting] agenda, had no idea how or why Mr. Martin was brought into this” says Price. “After speaking with the Sheriff this week, the best I can classify it at this point [was] in THE ROLE OF A CONSULTANT......................... ........................The Sheriff UTILIZED HIM AS A CONSULTANT, at this point I don’t believe he’s asked to be compensated; I don’t know, I obviously wasn’t part of that, wasn’t brought into that decision, but I am left with the aftermath of it” she says.................... .....................She says BECAUSE HE ACTED AS A CONSULTANT, HE MAY NOT BE PROTECTED BY ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILAGE.
if the "good sheriff" never signed a legal contract with the beer bong bobster.................then he was NEVER A CLIENT and therefore, there was never an attorney-client relationship to violate. if the "good sheriff" did sign a legal contract with martin.............who paid for the professional legal services of martin??? the cc claims to have no knowledge of paying for the legal services of martin. if it was paid by the county and the taxpayers.............that is abuse of office by the sheriff and the cc........and mismanagement of county funds. jonese would have no viable reason to personally pay martin for official business that included the dealings of the pcsd. if so, that would raise even more questions.
either way, this issue could turn out to be "heap big trouble" for juxtaposed jonese and the pcsd.
don't forget the recent story on the Pocahontas commentator where norm had filed a formal complaint with the wv bar odc against martin for double billing and simmons for allowing it. the case included newspaper documentation and photos of martin in charleston representing a private client........while filing a timesheet claiming he was working as a public servant in the prosecuting attorneys office...............and its impossible to be in two places at the same time...........billing a private client and the taxpayers of the county.
martin and simmons formally responded to the complaint of the wv bar odc and vehemently claimed that "martin worked extensive hours above and beyond a typical 40 hour work week". each claimed that martin carried home paperwork from the office and spent EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS doing county work outside of normal business hours.
it sounded as if martin was working like a trojan horse. these claims to the wv bar were made under oath in an affidavit, and officially notarized.
now, ask yourself a question. if martin was really doing all that work..............how in the heck is simmons gonna survive in the prosecutors office without a replacement for martin???
There's a story that I want you to hear. Gene dumped his assistant - that's clear. The rumor on the street Is one that I'll repeat: Bob hit Gene with a can of beer!
funny i heard a few weeks ago that bozo beer can bob was at the rite aide trying to get a refill on his hydra codine script 11 days before the refill date ........they wouldn`t fill it ........he did not realize that it was to soon for a refill .......imagine that .........this is a guy who we have hired to prosecute people (or is it railroad people) ......... well at least he has turned his house into a real gem,according to the times the place looks like a park ........... he sounds like a dual addicted loser to me ........ pain killers and alcohol taken together in tandem is an exhibition of a suicidal tendency ........ if you are that low a person ,you need to cover up and hide behind your addiction,in his stone cold heart he knows he is rotten excuse for a human being .......we have to be better without him .now we will not have to pay for any over dose episodes ,or god forbid re-hab ................
now it should be county commission business...........and open to the public........on reasons why simmons chose to FIRE robert martin. if they had the hiring discussion, there should absolutely be no reason why they cant have a firing discussion. THIS IS THE BUSINESS OF THE PEOPLE.
the cc has a hand in this thing too- they initially voted UNANIMOUSLY to NOT HIRE martin.........until his criminal charges were resolved. then, after a 10 minute closed door meeting, they went public and on the record again and approved the hiring of martin.
people need to show up and demand that this topic is discussed at the next cc meeting.
area defense lawyers and public defenders are sure gonna be interested in why martin is terminated and gone- anything of legal significance and they can file paperwork to have a new trial for their clients if the reason would affect martin's judgement, ethics, etc in prosecuting recent cases.
if the cc refuses to address the issue and discuss it, its time to file a FOIA and find out why martin was terminated. THE PEOPLE DESERVE ANSWERS FROM THEIR GOVERNMENT.
something that no one has brought up yet............
I think it is safe to say that the citizens no longer have to worry about the beer bong bobster running again for prosecuting attorney of the loco poco forest!!!
key words- simmons says he can handle the CURRENT caseload. just wait until jonese and the goon squad start charging at windmills in their cruisers and arresting their imaginary enemies- hells angels and san salvador drug gangs. then it will be time to requisition the cc for $$$$$ to hire a new a.p.a. and "work with" jonese and company.
does this mean runny muck won`t have beer can bob as an adviser anymore ??? .........is he on his own,no more brains ????????????? who will tell brave chief when it is time to take 5th ......... hide behind lie ........
martin is more than likely still the "personal lawyer" of the good sheriff. remember that martin was utilized as a "consultant" by the sheriff when martin was in charleston and didn't even reside in the county. the fact that martin is no longer employed as a.p.a. would have no effect or outcome on his continuing to provide legal advice to jonese.
jonese has hired legal counsel and is currently seeking shelter behind the skirt of a female lawyer. the question that is yet to be answered- who is paying the legal fees of the "good sheriff"??? this needs to be addressed at the next cc meeting. the sheriff and the cc both have the same female lawyer in the same case.
odds are high that, we the taxpayers, are footing the bill for the sheriff. the cc needs to address this issue. the cc refused to pay for the legal services of donna price. have they refused to pay for the legal services of jonese? don't count on it.
wv is not a "right to work" state, so simmons cant just terminate martin for any willy nilly reason. martin may have legal grounds to file suit against simmons, the prosecutors office, and the county. if he has medical issues and was receiving medication prescribed by a physician, he could easily file a lawsuit on the basis of medical disability, etc. this thing may very well get exceptionally ugly before it is over with.
navin just figured out a way for the citizens of pocahontas to learn exactly why simmons terminated martin at the prosecutors office!!
step 1. a hypothetical retired fat man, with plenty of time on his hands, files two (2) separate and formal complaints with the wv bar odc.
step 2. the hypothetical lawyers on the receiving end of the complaint just so happen to be a prosecuting attorney and assistant prosecuting attorney in the loco poco forest.
step 3. above said hypothetical fat man includes photocopy documentation of the loco poco times article to support his statements and facts in his formal complaints against the above said lawyers on why eugene simmons terminated the employment and professional services of robert martin, and what robert martin did to warrant termination.
step 4. by wv statute and rules, the wv bar odc will be required by law to investigate the happenings in the prosecutors office.
step 5. by wv statute and rules, eugene simmons and robert martin will be required to respond to the investigative body. failure to respond to the investigative body is a big no-no.
step 6. eugene simmons and robert martin will each, and separately, have to be completely honest in their answers on the actions and reasons for termination of employment. any lies and/or missteps, and they could potentially face sanctions and/or lose their law license for not being "honest and trustworthy".
step 7. simmons and martin will have to recruit witnesses to corroborate their version of events, and said witnesses will have to submit notarized affidavits on the events surrounding the termination of martin by simmons.
step 8. the two (2) hypothetical administrative assistants in the loco poco prosecutors office would likely have very good information on the events and reasons of simmons terminating martin.
step 9. in order for simmons to LEGALLY terminate martin, martin had to do "something" very bad and/or illegal.
step 10. if martin did "nothing" very bad and/or illegal to warrant termination, then simmons is on the hot seat with the investigative body for wrongful termination, acting in bad faith as a lawyer, dishonesty, etc.
step 11. if either of the two (2) lawyers is found to have done anything wrong, they will be forced to pay for said investigative proceedings and hearings of the wv bar odc.
step 12. if either of the two (2) lawyers is found to have done anything wrong, the results and findings of the wv bar odc could be utilized in criminal and/or civil proceedings against the above said lawyers.
step 13. after the wv bar odc investigation is conducted and closed, the files become public record and the citizens of pocahontas county can learn what really happened in the loco poco prosecutors office.
step 14. the above steps facilitate the proper process on how to make state government work for the citizens in order to reach the truth of just how our local government works.
step 15. follow the above steps, and its virtually guaranteed that the above said lawyers are bound to step in something they don't want to be stepping in.
step 16. if any hypothetical circuit court judge or hypothetical sheriff was involved, directly or indirectly, in the reasons for simmons terminating martin- this would warrant even further investigation into any involved parties.
step 17. the wv bar odc would hypothetically conduct a public hearing in the loco poco forest, thereby allowing any citizens with any additional information to have the opportunity to speak as to the reasons for termination.
step 18. the hypothetical state police, the hypothetical federal bureau of investigation, and the hypothetical u.s. attorneys office could hypothetically become involved to investigate any said findings of fact laid to bare by the wv bar odc.
step 19. the loco poco forest could hypothetically be cleaned of its filth and corruption.
step 20. the citizens of pocahontas will celebrate, dance with delight, and do the two-step on the town square.
Remember that this wasn't a resignation. It wasn't a agreeable parting of the ways. IT WAS A TERMINATION. Simmons took credit and stated that he "had terminated" Robert Martin. It sure sounds like there is grounds for an investigation to determine what happened.
if simmons is gonna be in charge of hiring any more lawyers on behalf of the county, the cc best be gettin' involved ASAP and conducting a criminal background check on all applicants and lawyers on simmons' wish list.
don't forget that the cc voted UNANIMOUSLY TO NOT HIRE MARTIN. how did that work out for "we the people"???
u mean the family court judge that martin represented as a private client to line his pockets while double billing the county and pretending to be a humble public servant ? the less than honorable william "chip off the dung pile" watkins iii ? the one who robert p. martin represented and lost the case in front of the wv supreme court? if so he has already been suspended, resigned, and sent to early an early permanent retirement with the help of the beer can bongster.
please say it aint so. we don't need any more ding dang stinkin' lawyerz around these here parts................. unless they are representing the u.s. attorneys office.................... and prosecuting some of the filth around these here parts.
when the county commission comes a knockin' to recoup the money they allocated to pay the salary of robert martin, simmons will suddenly be singin' a different show tune. the cc will have simmons on the record stating that he can handle all the work all by his lonesome. but when the budget of the prosecutors office is about to shrink, simmons will notify the cc of a change in circumstances- a sudden increase in case load.............and justice wont be served for the people of the loco poco forest unless a new esteemed and esquired egalitarian lawyer is summoned for hire as assistant prosecuting attorney.
In a four county area in Tennessee the Assistant prosecuting Attorney handled between 800 cases and 1200 cases. I cant see where beer bong was needed at all, but I wonder if the CC checked to see how many cases were normal for a APA to handle nation wide and how many we actually have in a year.
I see that geeze AKA anon AKA ( well I'm not going to tell ) is back at it on topix making a fool out of himself again. Yes anon you need to get your prescription filled again, so your a not only a gay basher but a supporter of beer bong bob and sir rotten. I would think the recent rulings by the court in regard to Donna and Jonese having been sued and Beer Bong Bob getting fired from the PA office has put you back on medication again. If you dislike this site so much why do you post on it ? Perhaps its your favorite place to make a fool out of yourself and you think no one will know who you are ? Sadly for you its a cyber world. Did you know that if you have a persons IP address you can actually get a satellite picture of their house ? Of course I'm not a Moderator for Norman so I don't have your IP address , but with your child like posts its fairly easy to figure out who you are, gotcha ring a bell. If your going to use that word on topix you probably should not use it in your private life, its a dead give a way. Sadly for you I do not give much credit for intelligence for the members of the yellow tail cult, at least not near as much as you give yourself and your cute little friends. I will not post your name as I really enjoy watching you make a fool out of your self . You really do think your smart and funny don't you ? That's the part I enjoy , you must of been one of those nerds who didn't fit in with any group in school except the 2 faced backstabbers who have no common sense . Did you get laid before you were 25 or did you have to pay for it. Yes indeed your a impressive yellow tail cult member . Been sharing any of your friends computers as of late trying to be sneaky ? You have a nice day and keep on trying , your more fun than a barrel full of drunk monkeys I really love it.
I have been following the adventures posted online by the former freinds of beer bong for a good while . his adventures in south America are very interesting. I think his adventures here will be in wv locally will be good.
I wonder why the other forums are not reporting on something as important as this , o wait I forgot they have their noses right up in there as far as they can get it . What a joke they are.
Honest gene told us about honest bob being fired , I wonder if he would tell us why the Two In the PA office are being investigated. Maybe geeze knows.
I wonder if honest Simmons will spill the beans why beer can got canned., I think other events will soon explain why.

step 20. the citizens of pocahontas will celebrate, dance with delight, and do the two-step on the town square.
Remember that this wasn't a resignation.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't a agreeable parting of the ways.
IT WAS A TERMINATION.
Simmons took credit and stated that he "had terminated" Robert Martin.
It sure sounds like there is grounds for an investigation to determine what happened.
i have it on good authority that the family court judge has/is moving to pocahontas and will be resigning to go to work for simmons
ReplyDeleteif simmons is gonna be in charge of hiring any more lawyers on behalf of the county, the cc best be gettin' involved ASAP and conducting a criminal background check on all applicants and lawyers on simmons' wish list.
Deletedon't forget that the cc voted UNANIMOUSLY TO NOT HIRE MARTIN.
how did that work out for "we the people"???
u mean the family court judge that martin represented as a private client to line his pockets while double billing the county and pretending to be a humble public servant ?
ReplyDeletethe less than honorable william "chip off the dung pile" watkins iii ?
the one who robert p. martin represented and lost the case in front of the wv supreme court?
if so he has already been suspended, resigned, and sent to early an early permanent retirement with the help of the beer can bongster.

please say it aint so.
we don't need any more ding dang stinkin' lawyerz around these here parts.................
unless they are representing the u.s. attorneys office.................... and prosecuting some of the filth around these here parts.
when the county commission comes a knockin' to recoup the money they allocated to pay the salary of robert martin, simmons will suddenly be singin' a different show tune.
ReplyDeletethe cc will have simmons on the record stating that he can handle all the work all by his lonesome.
but when the budget of the prosecutors office is about to shrink, simmons will notify the cc of a change in circumstances- a sudden increase in case load.............and justice wont be served for the people of the loco poco forest unless a new esteemed and esquired egalitarian lawyer is summoned for hire as assistant prosecuting attorney.
In a four county area in Tennessee the Assistant prosecuting Attorney handled between 800 cases and 1200 cases.
ReplyDeleteI cant see where beer bong was needed at all, but I wonder if the CC checked to see how many cases were normal for a APA to handle nation wide and how many we actually have in a year.
The Road Runner....
The rise and fall of the yellow tail cult
ReplyDeleteI see that geeze AKA anon AKA ( well I'm not going to tell ) is back at it on topix making a fool out of himself again. Yes anon you need to get your prescription filled again, so your a not only a gay basher but a supporter of beer bong bob and sir rotten.
I would think the recent rulings by the court in regard to Donna and Jonese having been sued and Beer Bong Bob getting fired from the PA office has put you back on medication again.
If you dislike this site so much why do you post on it ?
Perhaps its your favorite place to make a fool out of yourself and you think no one will know who you are ? Sadly for you its a cyber world.
Did you know that if you have a persons IP address you can actually get a satellite picture of their house ?
Of course I'm not a Moderator for Norman so I don't have your IP address , but with your child like posts its fairly easy to figure out who you are, gotcha ring a bell.
If your going to use that word on topix you probably should not use it in your private life, its a dead give a way.
Sadly for you I do not give much credit for intelligence for the members of the yellow tail cult, at least not near as much as you give yourself and your cute little friends.
I will not post your name as I really enjoy watching you make a fool out of your self .
You really do think your smart and funny don't you ?
That's the part I enjoy , you must of been one of those nerds who didn't fit in with any group in school except the 2 faced backstabbers who have no common sense .
Did you get laid before you were 25 or did you have to pay for it.
Yes indeed your a impressive yellow tail cult member .
Been sharing any of your friends computers as of late trying to be sneaky ?
You have a nice day and keep on trying , your more fun than a barrel full of drunk monkeys I really love it.
I have been following the adventures posted online by the former freinds of beer bong for a good while . his adventures in south America are very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think his adventures here will be in wv locally will be good.
I wonder why the other forums are not reporting on something as important as this , o wait I forgot they have their noses right up in there as far as they can get it .
ReplyDeleteWhat a joke they are.
Honest gene told us about honest bob being fired , I wonder if he would tell us why the Two In the PA office are being investigated.
ReplyDeleteMaybe geeze knows.
It's awful when small town hopes bleed to cricket club tastes and you have small town smarts.
