this is gonna be interesting. check item 95 on the state's list of evidence. THREE PAGE INTERVIEW OF BRAD TOTTEN BY STATE INVESTIGATOR, STEVE STATON.
somebody has got to get their hands on that one when it hits the court file. at the time of totten's interview in 2013, he was well aware that donna had turned him in to the u.s. attorneys office for investigation. furthermore, totten was getting grilled by the fbi and had lawyered up at that point. aint no telling what Sir Rotten would be willing to tell the state investigators to seek vengeance and put the pinch on price.
Also of interest- state investigator notes on interviews with state police boys agee and galloway. don't forget the hearing testimony and deposition of donna's interaction with the wv bar odc- the state police, along with juxtaposed jonese, indicated that they had conducted MULTIPLE sting operations against donna. also remember, price's statements to the loco poco times- whereby she stated that "we are living in a police state. where you are scared to move, etc." all of these events and things can be pulled into evidence and utilized by either side with their own spin on the legal arguments.
wasn't agee one of sir rotten's favorite ride-a-long buddies? there goes his credibility and testimony out the window.
both of the state boys and their prior testimony about the "chaos within the pcsd and the county" will come out at trial. all of their statements that they never had a problem in working with price when she was in office. all of their statements about jonese having major problems in working with price when she was in office.
jonese's own letters and prior statements will repudiate his testimony and credibility as a witness.
also of interest, the state claims to have no video evidence produced by juxtaposed jonese and "his" security cameras at the courthouse. looks like jonese just botched another investigation where he could have taken credit for video of price carting goods out of the prosecutors office on new years eve. just like he botched the investigation of "totten having sex all over the courthouse". no, those security cameras of "his" have been put to good use and utilized for his personal use and personal gain on his facebook page.
if nothing else comes out of this trial, donna needs to have her lawyer drill jonese on the stand- under pain of perjury and in front of a judge- to tell the truth on the mystery person who posted the public camera video evidence to his personal facebook page for election and political purposes.
the beauty of Sir Rotten being found guilty and a convicted felon helps donna in many ways during this trial. her defense attorneys can legitimately attack all of the law enforcement officers, pcsd and state, and ask the judge for permission to approach as a hostile witness.
they can ask all of the law enforcement officers if they ever had any knowledge of Sir Rotten's sexual dalliances and proclivities. they can ask all of the law enforcement officers if they THEMSELVES ever participated in any of Sir Rotten's sexual dalliances and proclivities.....or any of their own. the defense lawyers will be questioning all of their statements, and positioning them as "seeking revenge" against Price for sending their code of silence blue wall buddy up the river.
This trial is going to be a made-to-order soap opera! THE STATE INTENDS TO CALL SIR ROTTEN TOTTEN AS A WITNESS. THE STATE INTENDS TO CALL JUXTAPOSED JONESE AS A WITNESS.
If Sir Rotten rears his head and shows back up in the loco poco forest...............will he be sporting flame orange for hunting season and be shackled in handcuffs and leg irons as he is sworn in and clanks his way up to the witness stand??? OR.......on august 12.......after sir rotten's july 25th court hearing..........will sir rotten be a free man and confined to his house in the dark loco poco forest and sporting a gps ankle bracelet..............and wearing a new suit provided by his lawyers and the ER totten family trust fund???
Price's defense counsel is gonna have a field day picking apart the credibility of Sir Rotten and Juxtaposed Jonese. Each better have some dang good testimony and evidence, cause the defense attorneys will rip both of em............and their credibility........to shreds.
Remember, Jonese blames Price for making "the pcsd not looking good". Remember, Price turned Sir Rotten into the Feds. Both cops have alterior motives to testify against her, and the record will reflect It when all is said and done.
This will also taint the testimony and credibility of the Goons in Green, the state boys. Jonese implicated them by default when he cooked up his scheme to set up Price MULTIPLE TIMES on sting operations. Remember that the record also reflects, in Jonese's own words, that he also devised plans to set up sting operations and pinch Janet Kershner-Vanover (this was revealed in the wv bar odc hearings and depositions on Price).
Also, from the odc hearings and depositions, Galloway made statements that he had never seen anything like he has seen with Jonese running the pcsd. The defense attorneys will utilize Galloway's statements against Jonese to taint the credibility and testimony of Jonese..........which in effect, will ultimately taint the testimony of Galloway himself.
Price will hit the stand and claim that the whole thing is a conspiracy and that the boys club is out to get her................and she will have some legs to stand on based on evidence and prior statements and actions of jonese, totten, the pcsd, and the state police boys.
Don't forget that the judges are gonna be pulled into this circus rodeo too. Rowe's head is gonna be swimming before this thing is over. He aint gonna have any credibility to be a circuit circus court judge...........and his dreams of becoming a Supreme Court judge will be dashed on the rocks of the highland hills.
ALL THE WHILE, SITTING QUIETLY IN THE COURTROOM, WILL BE THE FEDERAL BOYS FROM THE FBI AND U.S. ATTORNEYS OFFICE............. SOAKING UP THE CIRCUS OF THE LOCO POCO CIRCUS.........AND TAKING IN ALL THE TESTIMONY, STATEMENTS, AND DOUBLE SPEAK, TO TAKE BACK TO THE CONFIDENTIAL CONFINES OF THEIR OFFICES..............TO PREPARE FEDERAL CRIMINAL COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE CIRCLE OF CORRUPTION IN POCAHONTAS.
the recusal letter of rowe and pomponio speak volumes about this individual case and ALL CASES and the administration of "fair and impartial justice" in the loco poco forest. rowe somehow finds it a conflict of interest to hear a case against donna. yet, rowe had no problem at all in finding any conflict of interest in hearing the Rotten Totten case.
donna price was only in office for 4 years that conflicted with rowe hearing the case. yet, Rotten Totten was in office for OVER 14 YEARS as deputy and had much more time to be in a conflict of interest relationship with rowe. rowe indicated in the wv bar odc hearings against price- that Rotten would approach him DIRECTLY, without the presence of the prosecuting attorney, and have conversations in which ROTTEN REQUESTED SEARCH WARRANTS.
yes, it is proper that rowe be recused from the price case- but his behavior and actions in not automatically recusing himself in the Rotten case............and NOW IN THE CIVIL CASES INVOLVING ROTTEN..........really make a profound statement about the stink of corruption in pocahontas county.
at least pompous pomponio had enough brain power to recuse himself from the cocky clifton case.
and speaking of cocky Clifton, im surprised ol' j.l. Clifton aint on the witness list for the state. maybe he is on the witness list for donna. some how, some way his name and face are gonna be making an appearance in this case.
Based on the state's list of discovery, it sure looks like they got donna lit up on a whole lot more than just taking physical items valued at around $4k, per the grand jury indictment.
Not sure how meal receipts from red lobster and hotel receipts from comfort inn fit into embezzlement if price was on a business trip, but we are guaranteed to hear the state's arguments on how they fit into stealing.
I find it incredibly interesting that "the state" is utilizing Sir Rotten as a witness against Price.
1. The state found Rotten Totten guilty of heinous sexual crimes and he is now wasting away behind bars for the next 10-20 years, compliments of the state. 2. In 2 weeks, on july 25th, the state will argue to keep Rotten behind bars for the next 10-20 years because he is a horrible person. 3. In 4 weeks, the state is going to provide a temporary ticket out of jail as a taxpayer funded field trip from prison to the loco poco forest, attempt to position Sir Rotten as an "expert witness" and "esteemed law enforcement officer", and attempt to utilize a convicted felon to gain a guilty conviction and produce another felon, donna price. 4. Donna Price was the individual who contacted the state police, fbi, and u.s. attorneys office to start an investigation on Sir Rotten. 5. Now, the state, in its infamous wisdom and glory, sees absolutely no problem or conflict of interest with the above scenario.
That special prosecutor lady has gotta be dumber than dirt if she thinks Sir Rotten is gonna do anything to help facilitate her case to a judge or jury in the loco poco forest. A defense lawyer couldn't ask for a better situation than this!!!
conflicting findings and facts found in these documents. the state's discovery list of evidence has nothing to do with the indictment by the grand jury. the grand jury indictment mentions physical items- 3 apple ipads, wall charts of drugs, legal books, space heater, etc. the states discovery list of evidence contains none of these items. the states discovery list of evidence does contain multiple evidence items of a monetary nature............which never gained a true bill felony count in the grand jury presentation.
...........which brings up several questions. where is the evidence that the state "mentioned" to the grand jury to gain an indictment??? a defense lawyer is gonna be asking this question, and if none is to be found, how in the hell did the state gain a true bill grand jury indictment with no supporting evidence to be show by the state at trial? donna may have grounds to claim that the whole process has been a sham job and conspiracy to convict via vengeance and retribution for initiating the investigation on Rotten.
item 14. another letter from good ol' dead walt. aint gonna happen. what is he doing, predicting a future crime to the county commission? im guessing its an inventory/property sheet, but not sure why he would be sending one of these.
still missing from the court file is the recusal request of the local prosecutors, simmons & martin, esquire. still missing from the court file is any documentation from the wv prosecuting attorneys institute, assigning prosecuting responsibilities to kristin cook, esquire.
witness list- "deputy" corey rose? since when did an administrative assistant qualify as a deputy.......or become a deputy??? another "only in the loco poco forest" moment
anyone know if price's counsel demanded a jury trial? or is this a trial to be determined by only the judge?
price's best bet is to demand a jury trial. with "all the love and trust" that the pcsd and state police have earned in this county, she may take a walk as a free woman- even if the state has convincing evidence. her counsel only has to convince one (1) juror of "reasonable doubt". in the loco poco forest, just pointing out the history and behavior of the cops should do the trick to set her free.
she may run into more trouble if the judge decides the case. they have a tendency to favor the prosecution. however, if price's legal team points out all of the local corruption of lawyers and the court chaos in pocahontas county, the judge may be compelled to find her not guilty. there's certainly plenty of evidence and findings of fact out there to paint this picture for the judge.
Jonese is on the stand. Price's attorneys will ask him about the multiple sting operations he initiated against Price. How many? How much time? How much money? How many men? How many agencies? How many arrests? He will then ask Jonese about the opportunity costs of these investigations and what other things the pcsd and state police could have been doing with their time, efforts, and money. He will then point out that during the exact timeframe Jonese was chasing Price, Sir Rotten Totten was out raping and pillaging the village and countryside. Then, ask the same set of questions. How many investigations did you conduct against Brad Totten? How much time did you conduct on investigations against Brad Totten? How much money did you spend on investigations against Brad Totten? How many men from the pcsd were investigating Brad Totten? Did you ever contact the State Police to investigate Brad Totten? Did you ever contact the FBI to investigate Brad Totten? Did you ever contact the U.S. Attorneys Office to investigate Brad Totten? Did any of your investigations result in an arrest of Brad Totten?
Game, Set, Match. Out the window goes the testimony and credibility of Jonese....and Totten.......and the State Police. .................and the pcsd looks like a flaming pile of ding dang deer dung...........again. .............and Jonese is left holding the bag.
Surprised to see that Eugene Simmons is not a witness for the prosecution. He inherited the office from Price, so one would think he would be on the list. He could possibly be on the witness list for Price.
pomponio has moved on to greener and more distant pastures. check out rowe's recusal letter on behalf of both circuit court judges. rowe indicates that pomponio is now a senior status judge.
News Flash..... The Grand Jury returned a NO TRUE BILL on the stolen items!!! Meaning they did NOT agree with the State! ONLY thing Price is facing is one charge. So over four years they can not account for 1050.00 bucks. Give me a BREAK!
that amount over 4 years would be piss change. it could have easily disappeared on office supplies and the 60+ reams of paper that simmons was griping about at the cc meeting. good quality paper that would be used in the prosecutors office aint cheap, $5+ a ream.
which brings up the other question- where did all the physical items disappear to? unless the local powers that be tried to make it appear that price was responsible for their walking off.
If the state couldn't get an indictment then the case was really bad!! The level for a indictment is so LOW that the State can get one on anything. I guess the Grand Jury wasn't buying the States bull. Still interesting that the Press, Gene and Sheriff are acting like there are charges for the "items"... Something to think about...
which begs the question.............WHERE ARE THE ITEMS? ipads, law books, wall charts, and space heaters don't just jump up and run out to party on new years eve.
wouldn't jonese and his special video cameras installed at the courthouse catch the perp? ...........unless the items mysteriously disappeared when the special video cameras were mysteriously turned off by the person in charge of them......or ignoring them.
and if jonese's special cameras.............which he claims are "his"..............didn't catch the perp, what does that say about the "good sheriff" doing his job???
oh nevermind, at least jonese can take credit for bringing Sir Rotten to justice (NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Jonese and Totten will make fine witness to bad they Won't be refusing to answer questions like they have in the past so often. Guess in regard to Donna it's different hope the jury knows about their history
So there is no video proof of Donna allegedly hauling all of this stuff off. Odd you would think there would be. But we have letters from Honest dead Walt the guy who was supporting Rotten Totten telling us all how great a guy he was and that we should not pay any attention to those 66 sex felony's that sir rotten was charged with. Yes we all know that Jonese and totten had no private issues with donna , if you buy that one then I have a ski resort I just happen to have inherited from my great uncle shyster that I want to sell. Real cheap. They have such stellar reputations with the public its unbelievable how good it is.
If Price didn't cart off all the goods, then who had access to the courthouse on new years eve? And who had motive to remove the items and then attempt to indict Price with the crime? Who would plant that seed in the mind of special investigator Steve Slaton? He doesn't know Donna and would have no reason to pinch her with a crime. He wouldn't know the specific items that would have been in the prosecutors office.
Who had spent countless hours setting up sting operations to pinch Price.........and Janet Kershner-Vanover? Whose office had been made to "not look good" and what leader of that department had been humiliated and brought down a notch...........by a woman? Who was unable to manage his own department and not catch a rapist running wild in the county?
Meanwhile, who has claimed that the videocameras are "HIS"? Is there someone else that is in charge of the videocameras in the courthouse?
Based on the verbal shootout between Saffer and Jonese regarding the cameras, it would fully appear that Jonese is in charge of ALL the videocameras- the sheriffs office and the courthouse. So, who is responsible for them? Where does the buck stop? And where are the videotapes from that fateful new years eve???
"The Pocahontas County Commission meeting on Thursday turned into a shouting match when Commissioner Martin Saffer demanded information from Sheriff David Jonese about how COURTHOUSE SECURITY CAMERA VIDEO turned up on Facebook."
“You know what?” replied Jonese. “Those are MY CAMERAS, in my office.” “I’m sorry,” said Saffer. “They are not your cameras. They were paid for by public funds.” “That’s right.” “They’re not yours.” “For my office and MY RESPONSIBILITY to take care of them.”
“They’re not there to protect them,” replied Jonese.” “It was to protect them.” “No it’s not. It’s there to protect my department and THIS COURTHOUSE.”
Commissioner David Fleming asks about the content of the video...... “I share a concern of ACCESS TO SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE, OUTSIDE OF AUTHORIZED PEOPLE .............."
"“Well, don’t you answer to the public?” “I answer to the public, not to Marty Saffer.”
“Okay, so it had to do with the election, didn’t it?” “No, it had to do with nothing.” “Oh, of course it did and that is ANOTHER MISUSE OF PUBLIC FUNDS. It’s a MISUSE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to use your office in a way to aggrandize and put forward your campaign. It was wrong.”
ANOTHER MISUSE????? WHAT WERE THE PRIOR ACTS AND MISUSE OF PUBLIC FUNDS????
WHERE ARE THE DISCOVERY REQUESTS FOR THE VIDEOTAPES? IF THEY DONT EXIST, DONNA PRICE MAY VERY WELL HAVE GROUNDS FOR A COUNTER SUIT AGAINST THE COUNTY AND THE SHERIFF AFTER HER TRIAL IS OVER.
IF JONESE CANT MANAGE AND FIND THE VIDEOTAPES THAT HE CLAIMS HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AND THAT ARE "HIS", MAYBE THE FBI BOYS CAN HELP HIM.........AND INQUIRE ABOUT THE MISSING ITEMS FROM THE PROSECUTORS OFFICE THAT SEEM TO HAVE, FOR NOW, MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED, AND ARE YET TO TURN UP.
IF JONESE ISNT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SETUP, WHO ELSE IS THE PCSD WOULD BE? AND WHO WOULD HAVE THE MOTIVE TO PLACE A FELONY ON ANOTHER PUBLIC FIGURE IN THE COMMUNITY???
I would imagine that not too many individuals have keys to the courthouse. Find all the owners of the keys and then whittle down things from there.
Also, any way to go back and review timesheets and see who might have been "on duty" on new years eve? How long does the 911 call center keep tapes on file? That would pinpoint who was on duty. The wife of the "good sheriff" would surely remember if she was sitting at home all alone on new years eve.............or new years day.
i bet dreama got keys to the court house .....who is to say that after donna cleared out ,dreama and the gang didn`t lift that stuff out the back door ........i am sure she didn`t have much else going on on new years eve ,so why not do a job on her bosses enemy .............. dreama answers only to chief run a muck,and she has complete access to the court house ......... she is beyond approach with a job that does not exist ......... only job title : nanny to the sheriff .......
Price's lawyers need to grill Slaton on the stand about where he gained information about the "missing items".
Price's lawyers need to call Simmons and Martin to the stand......and ask about how many countless hours they spent on the taxpayers dime in digging through the books of the prosecutors office OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD to come up with the alleged evidence of embezzlement.
Don't forget that Simmons told the cc that he was already investigating Price..........
"If you look at the budget, we’re about $15-20,000 short. In other words, the past prosecutor spent more money than she was supposed to. Now, WE'RE GOING TO DO AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS, so you don’t have to make a decision on it tonight. But you can look at it and see that all of the items were over-spent. Some of them, she spent as much as 90 percent of the items, which she’s only supposed to spend 50 [percent].”
IN FACT, USING THE PROSECUTORS OFFICE TO SEEK VENGANCE AND NAIL PRICE WAS THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS FOR SIMMONS AND MARTIN................JUST FOLLOW THE NUMBERS. THE ABOVE STATEMENT WAS MADE BY SIMMONS IN JANUARY 2013, WHEN HE FIRST ROLLED INTO OFFICE. PRICE'S CASE IS 14-F-01............THE VERY FIRST FELONY OF THE YEAR..............WHICH HAD BEEN IN THE WORKS SINCE SIMMONS AND MARTIN FIRST TOOK OFFICE IN 2013. THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR WAS APPOINTED OVER A YEAR AGO, APRIL 2013.................NOT APRIL 2014. SO, ALL THE LEGWORK HAD TO BE DONE BETWEEN JANUARY 2013 AND APRIL 2013- ALL COMPLIMENTS OF SIMMONS AND MARTIN.............AND WHO EVER ELSE IN THE COURTHOUSE AND SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT THAT WANTED TO "KINDLY ASSIST".
..............AND WHY COULDNT SLATON GAIN AN INDICTMENT ON PRICE FOR THE "MISSING GOODS". EVERYONE KNOWS THE OLD JOKE THAT A GRAND JURY COULD INDICT A HAM SANDWICH. SO, WHY COULDNT THEY GAIN ONE ON PRICE FOR "THE GOODS".
here's more on simmons and martin..........and their goal of plundering price in 2014. this is right before the cat was out of the bag with the april 2014 indictment.........
"In an interview on January 23, Pocahontas County Prosecuting Attorney Eugene Simmons and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Robert Martin described the goals they want their office to achieve in 2014................. 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.”
they most certainly had 2-3 things...................2 fresh felony counts cooked up to indict price, and a "good sheriff" to deliver 1 customized summons to her doorstep. and if they had "very few presentments", they had extra time on their hands to focus all of their efforts on pillaging price.
and for some strange reason................martin and simmons never mentioned the goal of "chaos and employment terminations" in the loco poco prosecutors office.
With all the people involved and the statements they have made in the past along with their actions it's impossible to hide the hidden agenday they have, Its like a cheap dime novel written by a no talent drunken ghost written. Its as plain as day what has and is going on. Look at the witness list and the motives they could have. It's a joke just as many of them are.
........and the defense attorneys will be at bat in the home run derby, being served up slow lob soft balls by the special prosecutor......to be ripped and hit out of the park. price can beat this case, but it sure is gonna cost her lots of billable hours to do so.
her best outcome may be in doing the only thing a lawyer knows how to do- fire back and file a lawsuit(s) against her accusers.
hey humping buffalo ain`t going to say anything against the chief after all look at all of those $35.00 an hour no qualifications needed counseling jobs she got just for being and staying married to that big ball head asshole ..............poor girl has suffered enough already .........
Is that ball or bald? In this case I suppose both are correct.
She use to live in the D.C. area. She knows where the Department of Justice is. And The Hoover Building- and I aint talkin' bout' shoppin' for vacuum cleaners!

im guessing its an inventory/property sheet, but not sure why he would be sending one of these.
still missing from the court file is the recusal request of the local prosecutors, simmons & martin, esquire.
ReplyDeletestill missing from the court file is any documentation from the wv prosecuting attorneys institute, assigning prosecuting responsibilities to kristin cook, esquire.
witness list- "deputy" corey rose?
ReplyDeletesince when did an administrative assistant qualify as a deputy.......or become a deputy???
another "only in the loco poco forest" moment
anyone know if price's counsel demanded a jury trial?
ReplyDeleteor is this a trial to be determined by only the judge?
price's best bet is to demand a jury trial.
with "all the love and trust" that the pcsd and state police have earned in this county, she may take a walk as a free woman- even if the state has convincing evidence.
her counsel only has to convince one (1) juror of "reasonable doubt".
in the loco poco forest, just pointing out the history and behavior of the cops should do the trick to set her free.
she may run into more trouble if the judge decides the case.
they have a tendency to favor the prosecution.
however, if price's legal team points out all of the local corruption of lawyers and the court chaos in pocahontas county, the judge may be compelled to find her not guilty.
there's certainly plenty of evidence and findings of fact out there to paint this picture for the judge.
Jonese is on the stand.
ReplyDeletePrice's attorneys will ask him about the multiple sting operations he initiated against Price.
How many? How much time? How much money? How many men? How many agencies? How many arrests?
He will then ask Jonese about the opportunity costs of these investigations and what other things the pcsd and state police could have been doing with their time, efforts, and money.
He will then point out that during the exact timeframe Jonese was chasing Price, Sir Rotten Totten was out raping and pillaging the village and countryside.
Then, ask the same set of questions.
How many investigations did you conduct against Brad Totten?
How much time did you conduct on investigations against Brad Totten?
How much money did you spend on investigations against Brad Totten?
How many men from the pcsd were investigating Brad Totten?
Did you ever contact the State Police to investigate Brad Totten?
Did you ever contact the FBI to investigate Brad Totten?
Did you ever contact the U.S. Attorneys Office to investigate Brad Totten?
Did any of your investigations result in an arrest of Brad Totten?
Game, Set, Match.
Out the window goes the testimony and credibility of Jonese....and Totten.......and the State Police.
.................and the pcsd looks like a flaming pile of ding dang deer dung...........again.
.............and Jonese is left holding the bag.
Surprised to see that Eugene Simmons is not a witness for the prosecution.
ReplyDeleteHe inherited the office from Price, so one would think he would be on the list.
He could possibly be on the witness list for Price.
pomponio has moved on to greener and more distant pastures.
ReplyDeletecheck out rowe's recusal letter on behalf of both circuit court judges.
rowe indicates that pomponio is now a senior status judge.
News Flash..... The Grand Jury returned a NO TRUE BILL on the stolen items!!! Meaning they did NOT agree with the State! ONLY thing Price is facing is one charge. So over four years they can not account for 1050.00 bucks. Give me a BREAK!
ReplyDeletethat amount over 4 years would be piss change.
Deleteit could have easily disappeared on office supplies and the 60+ reams of paper that simmons was griping about at the cc meeting.
good quality paper that would be used in the prosecutors office aint cheap, $5+ a ream.
which brings up the other question- where did all the physical items disappear to?
unless the local powers that be tried to make it appear that price was responsible for their walking off.
If the state couldn't get an indictment then the case was really bad!! The level for a indictment is so LOW that the State can get one on anything. I guess the Grand Jury wasn't buying the States bull. Still interesting that the Press, Gene and Sheriff are acting like there are charges for the "items"... Something to think about...
ReplyDeletewhich begs the question.............WHERE ARE THE ITEMS?
Deleteipads, law books, wall charts, and space heaters don't just jump up and run out to party on new years eve.
wouldn't jonese and his special video cameras installed at the courthouse catch the perp?
...........unless the items mysteriously disappeared when the special video cameras were mysteriously turned off by the person in charge of them......or ignoring them.
and if jonese's special cameras.............which he claims are "his"..............didn't catch the perp, what does that say about the "good sheriff" doing his job???
oh nevermind, at least jonese can take credit for bringing Sir Rotten to justice (NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Jonese and Totten will make fine witness to bad they Won't be refusing to answer questions like they have in the past so often. Guess in regard to Donna it's different hope the jury knows about their history
ReplyDeleteSo there is no video proof of Donna allegedly hauling all of this stuff off. Odd you would think there would be.
ReplyDeleteBut we have letters from Honest dead Walt the guy who was supporting Rotten Totten telling us all how great a guy he was and that we should not pay any attention to those 66 sex felony's that sir rotten was charged with.
Yes we all know that Jonese and totten had no private issues with donna , if you buy that one then I have a ski resort I just happen to have inherited from my great uncle shyster that I want to sell. Real cheap.
They have such stellar reputations with the public its unbelievable how good it is.
If Price didn't cart off all the goods, then who had access to the courthouse on new years eve?
ReplyDeleteAnd who had motive to remove the items and then attempt to indict Price with the crime?
Who would plant that seed in the mind of special investigator Steve Slaton?
He doesn't know Donna and would have no reason to pinch her with a crime.
He wouldn't know the specific items that would have been in the prosecutors office.
Who had spent countless hours setting up sting operations to pinch Price.........and Janet Kershner-Vanover?
Whose office had been made to "not look good" and what leader of that department had been humiliated and brought down a notch...........by a woman?
Who was unable to manage his own department and not catch a rapist running wild in the county?
Meanwhile, who has claimed that the videocameras are "HIS"?
Is there someone else that is in charge of the videocameras in the courthouse?
Based on the verbal shootout between Saffer and Jonese regarding the cameras, it would fully appear that Jonese is in charge of ALL the videocameras- the sheriffs office and the courthouse.
So, who is responsible for them?
Where does the buck stop?
And where are the videotapes from that fateful new years eve???
"The Pocahontas County Commission meeting on Thursday turned into a shouting match when Commissioner Martin Saffer demanded information from Sheriff David Jonese about how COURTHOUSE SECURITY CAMERA VIDEO turned up on Facebook."
“You know what?” replied Jonese. “Those are MY CAMERAS, in my office.”
“I’m sorry,” said Saffer. “They are not your cameras. They were paid for by public funds.”
“That’s right.”
“They’re not yours.”
“For my office and MY RESPONSIBILITY to take care of them.”
“They’re not there to protect them,” replied Jonese.”
“It was to protect them.”
“No it’s not. It’s there to protect my department and THIS COURTHOUSE.”
Commissioner David Fleming asks about the content of the video......
“I share a concern of ACCESS TO SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE, OUTSIDE OF AUTHORIZED PEOPLE .............."
"“Well, don’t you answer to the public?”
“I answer to the public, not to Marty Saffer.”
“Okay, so it had to do with the election, didn’t it?”
“No, it had to do with nothing.”
“Oh, of course it did and that is ANOTHER MISUSE OF PUBLIC FUNDS. It’s a MISUSE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to use your office in a way to aggrandize and put forward your campaign. It was wrong.”
http://www.alleghenymountainradio.org/pocahontas-commission-files-ethics-inquiry-for-sheriffs-department-video/
ANOTHER MISUSE????? WHAT WERE THE PRIOR ACTS AND MISUSE OF PUBLIC FUNDS????
WHERE ARE THE DISCOVERY REQUESTS FOR THE VIDEOTAPES?
IF THEY DONT EXIST, DONNA PRICE MAY VERY WELL HAVE GROUNDS FOR A COUNTER SUIT AGAINST THE COUNTY AND THE SHERIFF AFTER HER TRIAL IS OVER.
IF JONESE CANT MANAGE AND FIND THE VIDEOTAPES THAT HE CLAIMS HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AND THAT ARE "HIS", MAYBE THE FBI BOYS CAN HELP HIM.........AND INQUIRE ABOUT THE MISSING ITEMS FROM THE PROSECUTORS OFFICE THAT SEEM TO HAVE, FOR NOW, MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED, AND ARE YET TO TURN UP.
IF JONESE ISNT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SETUP, WHO ELSE IS THE PCSD WOULD BE? AND WHO WOULD HAVE THE MOTIVE TO PLACE A FELONY ON ANOTHER PUBLIC FIGURE IN THE COMMUNITY???
Drema and the crew are going to have a full day analyzing this one!
DeleteI would imagine that not too many individuals have keys to the courthouse.
DeleteFind all the owners of the keys and then whittle down things from there.
Also, any way to go back and review timesheets and see who might have been "on duty" on new years eve?
How long does the 911 call center keep tapes on file? That would pinpoint who was on duty.
The wife of the "good sheriff" would surely remember if she was sitting at home all alone on new years eve.............or new years day.
i bet dreama got keys to the court house .....who is to say that after donna cleared out ,dreama and the gang didn`t lift that stuff out the back door ........i am sure she didn`t have much else going on on new years eve ,so why not do a job on her bosses enemy .............. dreama answers only to chief run a muck,and she has complete access to the court house ......... she is beyond approach with a job that does not exist ......... only job title : nanny to the sheriff .......
DeletePrice's lawyers need to grill Slaton on the stand about where he gained information about the "missing items".
ReplyDeletePrice's lawyers need to call Simmons and Martin to the stand......and ask about how many countless hours they spent on the taxpayers dime in digging through the books of the prosecutors office OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD to come up with the alleged evidence of embezzlement.
Don't forget that Simmons told the cc that he was already investigating Price..........
"If you look at the budget, we’re about $15-20,000 short. In other words, the past prosecutor spent more money than she was supposed to. Now, WE'RE GOING TO DO AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS, so you don’t have to make a decision on it tonight. But you can look at it and see that all of the items were over-spent. Some of them, she spent as much as 90 percent of the items, which she’s only supposed to spend 50 [percent].”
http://www.alleghenymountainradio.org/pocahontas-prosecutor-alleges-budget-shortfall/
IN FACT, USING THE PROSECUTORS OFFICE TO SEEK VENGANCE AND NAIL PRICE WAS THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS FOR SIMMONS AND MARTIN................JUST FOLLOW THE NUMBERS.
THE ABOVE STATEMENT WAS MADE BY SIMMONS IN JANUARY 2013, WHEN HE FIRST ROLLED INTO OFFICE.
PRICE'S CASE IS 14-F-01............THE VERY FIRST FELONY OF THE YEAR..............WHICH HAD BEEN IN THE WORKS SINCE SIMMONS AND MARTIN FIRST TOOK OFFICE IN 2013.
THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR WAS APPOINTED OVER A YEAR AGO, APRIL 2013.................NOT APRIL 2014.
SO, ALL THE LEGWORK HAD TO BE DONE BETWEEN JANUARY 2013 AND APRIL 2013- ALL COMPLIMENTS OF SIMMONS AND MARTIN.............AND WHO EVER ELSE IN THE COURTHOUSE AND SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT THAT WANTED TO "KINDLY ASSIST".
..............AND WHY COULDNT SLATON GAIN AN INDICTMENT ON PRICE FOR THE "MISSING GOODS".
EVERYONE KNOWS THE OLD JOKE THAT A GRAND JURY COULD INDICT A HAM SANDWICH.
SO, WHY COULDNT THEY GAIN ONE ON PRICE FOR "THE GOODS".
here's more on simmons and martin..........and their goal of plundering price in 2014.
ReplyDeletethis is right before the cat was out of the bag with the april 2014 indictment.........
"In an interview on January 23, Pocahontas County Prosecuting Attorney Eugene Simmons and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Robert Martin described the goals they want their office to achieve in 2014.................
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.”
they most certainly had 2-3 things...................2 fresh felony counts cooked up to indict price, and a "good sheriff" to deliver 1 customized summons to her doorstep.
and if they had "very few presentments", they had extra time on their hands to focus all of their efforts on pillaging price.
and for some strange reason................martin and simmons never mentioned the goal of "chaos and employment terminations" in the loco poco prosecutors office.
With all the people involved and the statements they have made in the past along with their actions it's impossible to hide the hidden agenday they have,
ReplyDeleteIts like a cheap dime novel written by a no talent drunken ghost written.
Its as plain as day what has and is going on.
Look at the witness list and the motives they could have.
It's a joke just as many of them are.
........and the defense attorneys will be at bat in the home run derby, being served up slow lob soft balls by the special prosecutor......to be ripped and hit out of the park.
Deleteprice can beat this case, but it sure is gonna cost her lots of billable hours to do so.
her best outcome may be in doing the only thing a lawyer knows how to do- fire back and file a lawsuit(s) against her accusers.
hey humping buffalo ain`t going to say anything against the chief after all look at all of those $35.00 an hour no qualifications needed counseling jobs she got just for being and staying married to that big ball head asshole ..............poor girl has suffered enough already .........
ReplyDeleteIs that ball or bald?
ReplyDeleteIn this case I suppose both are correct.
She use to live in the D.C. area.
She knows where the Department of Justice is.
And The Hoover Building- and I aint talkin' bout' shoppin' for vacuum cleaners!
