As email trail lengthens, patience with conviction corruption expires

While I’m working on a post that will provide the descriptions of the tainted executive orders I referred in my latest email, please sign and share a new petition calling for Florida A.G. Pam Bondi to arrange additional DNA tests for innocent death row inmate William “Tommy” Zeigler. If you’re still not certain you should do so after all I’ve written about Tommy, please scroll through the petition’s “reasons” until you locate the one authored by Susan Ambler-Graden.

Dear State Attorney Archer, State Attorney Ashton and Governor Scott,

I am writing to document the activity on your part in the weeks since I last wrote to all of you, and to inform you of my intentions.

I have received: 1) a[n] email from Judy Bushey that had nothing to do with the matters I addressed in my emails; 2) several automated, propagandized responses from Rick Scott’s office, as well as an email about HB 867, which didn’t make it to his desk and required no action on his part; 3) a notification from my ISP that Jeff Ashton did not receive my emails at jashton@sa09.org, an address which I’m using once more, as a friend called his office and verified it to be accurate; 4) an agency’s indication of potential interest in investigating, which is not in your collective victims’ best interests to identify.

I remind you that I am one of your victims. I’ve condensed nearly twelve years of investigating and advocating on my own behalf – encompassing nine years of investigating and advocating of the behalf of incarcerated innocents – to descriptions of several tainted governor’s executive orders that indicate that the 7th, 9th and 18th judicial circuits have acted in concert under color of law – with media assistance – to delay and deny justice.

Those whom I’ve shared the descriptions with are of the opinion that they leave no room for doubt on conspiracy. I intend to publish them on my blog, which is a humble affair with a mere 14,000+ “hits,” but a significant number of those “hits” are international. Many foreign nationals are interested in the quality and availability of justice in America, particularly since we barbarically retain the death penalty. A team of U.N. representatives came to Florida to investigate the Immokalee Workers claims of agricultural slavery, it is conceivable that another team of U.N. representatives can come to Florida to to investigate claims of conviction corruption.

Judy Bushey’s email included written misrepresentations of my emails as well as our witnessed, in-person conversation, i.e.; claimed ignorance of which of Jeffrey Abramowski’s files I was interested in. This possibly betrays an intent to harm via deliberate duress, as I’d made it clear that I have volatile epilepsy, that stress can cause seizures, and that seizures can be fatal … as they were for Texas exoneree James Woodard.

As my requests were reasonable and as clear as my description of potential physical harm, I insist upon equally clear, immediate responses. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Susan Chandler

Subject: Gary Stanley Bennett, Jr., other clouded Central Florida convictions, and specious Kill Bill [TIGTA complaint number 55-1106-0136-C]

Dear State Attorney Ashton, State Attorney Archer and Governor Scott,

I am writing to ensure that the email directed to S.A. Ashton and S.A. Archer’s executive secretaries yesterday reaches their employers, and to add addition purposes to that communication.

After sending out both emails below, I found out that Florida’s Legislature passed the “Timely Justice Act.” As you know, this bill would more aptly be titled “Let’s Kill the Poor Bastards Fast So We Can Destroy All Evidence Lawfully Act,” as Florida’s judiciary have an easily discernible penchant for protecting inept and/or malicious prosecutors ahead of furthering justice.

All three of you opted in to conviction corruption. As you are the latecomer, Governor Scott, your path to opting out is smoother, and begins with vetoing the “Timely Justice Act,” followed by releasing William “Tommy” Zeigler and Gary Stanley Bennett on recognizance, pending clemency or retrial. As I have made you aware, governor, S.A. Ashton welded the two cases together by falsely portraying both men as homosexuals, and had no business touching Gary’s case, as his circuit had used oft-discredited dog handler John Preston to convict Linroy Bottoson, who was executed in 2002.

To review, Preston was initially discredited in December of 1982 in Dale Sutton’s Ohio federal case, which was within the knowledge of those that prosecuted Gary in January of 1984. Preston cost Floridians 54 years of incarceration costs for Juan Ramos, Wilton Dedge and William Dillon. Preston cost Floridians additional millions in exoneration compensation for Wilton Dedge and William Dillon, and an untold sum in fighting to not similarly compensate the non-white guy, Juan Ramos. Preston caused hapless schizophrenic LInroy Bottoson to be strapped to a gurney and die with ghouls looking on. Preston’s “almost had him” declarations caused hapless serial confessor Gerald Stano to be fried alive in Old Sparky, and that Stano was a confessor rather than a killer is the sworn opinion of several brave Daytona officers as well as the first ghost writer investigator Paul Crow hired to capitalize on pretending Stano was a killer. No forensic evidence against Stano. None. And all the “cleared” cases kept serial killers on the streets. Like Ottis Toole and his accomplices. And Jeffrey Dahmer. And Ted Bundy. The jailhouse informant used against Stano was also used against Dedge, and he named his coaches as prosecutors Chris White and (John) Dean Moxley. He named them in time to save Stano. Which brings us full circle to the Florida judiciaries penchant for prodigiously protecting inept and/or malicious prosecutors ahead of furthering justice.

I am prepared to tie a third state attorneys office into the misbehaviors of the 9th and 18th, and believe that doing so will force the mainstream media – after over three decades of riding along – to at long last abandon the good ship Coverup, leaving Bar associations to attempt to keep the ship afloat and their false flags flying on stormier seas than they’re ever navigated.

Again, my request of you, Governor Scott, is that you veto the despicable “Timely Justice Act,” and that you cure the decades of malicious prosecution endured by Floridians, beginning with Tommy Zeiger and Gary Bennett.

My request of you, S.A. Ashton, is that you provide the documents I requested of Ms. Zayas, below, as well as answer the questions I asked of her.

My request of you, S.A. Archer, is that you answer the questions I asked of Ms. Bushey.

Please do not use subordinates as shields, sirs; either respond to me directly, or stonewall me directly … conspiracy to violate rights is a federal offense, and no one should be directed to participate so as to continue to receive a paycheck. Thank you for your time, sirs, I look forward to your responses.

Sincerely,

Susan Chandler

Please note that I have received a error message from Earthlink indicating that both Ms. Bushey and Ms. Zayas’ email addresses are incorrect.

Despite that notification, I am going to proceed with publishing my email on my blog and sort the failure out after the lunch hour, as one of Gary Bennett’s sister posted a message on the Free Gary Bennett Facebook page indicating that Gary is being harassed by a guard as well as an inmate who has given him trouble in the past. Gary’s size and physical frailty have often made him a target during his 29 years of ludicrously false imprisonment … the prosecutors were well aware that dog handler John Preston had been found a fraud and a perjurer in Dale Sutton’s Ohio federal case in December of 1982, Gary was tried and convicted in January of 1984.

Ms. Arlene Zayas,
Executive Secretary to Jeff Ashton,
State Attorney, 9th Judicial Circuit

Ms. Judy Bushey,
Executive Secretary to Phil Archer,
State Attorney, 18th Judicial Circuit

Dear Ms. Zayas and Ms. Bushey,

I am writing in regards to the state attorney case records of Gary Bennett and several other gentlemen, including some whose names I brought up in person with you, Ms. Bushey … Crosley Green, Monte Adams and Jeffrey Abramowski. You, Ms. Zayas, would be more familiar with the names William “Tommy” Zeigler and John Wesley Dobbs IV.

It is my understanding that both of your offices have official records custodians, and that my being made to tender records requests to each of you is extraordinary.

As you both know, death row attorneys are not necessarily Floridians – like Crosley Green’s and Tommy Ziegler’s – making it necessary for state attorneys offices to produce records as rapidly as county clerks offices do. As Ms. Bushey likely knows, the Brevard County Clerk of Courts recently passed a test for producing redacted records upon request, furnishing them in minutes, not hours or days.

As no employee at a county clerk’s office has ever asked me to identify myself, state my relationship to the party whose records I’d requested, declare my intent in viewing records, and define my advocacy for incarcerated innocents as individual or affiliated, as you did, Ms. Bushey, I request that you apprise me of the statutory authority for your interrogation. As Bar activities are the focus of my aging TIGTA complaint, I also ask that you disclose any relationship of your office’s official records custodian, Patty Crowell, to the Washington, D.C. law firm Crowell and Moring, which the Florida Bar arranged to present Crosley’s death row appeals. I additionally ask that you disclose at whose behest the Bar made that appointment, and if you do not not know, that you direct me to a party that would have that information.

Similarly, I ask that you disclose, Ms. Zayas, whether or not Tommy’s out-of-state death row defense was Florida Bar-appointed, too, and – if so – either name at whose behest the Bar appointment was made, or direct me to a party that would have that information.

Ms. Bushey told me that your office is still in possession of Gary Bennett’s case file, Ms. Zayas, so I will make my initial records request of you. From Gary’s file, I would like copies of the letters written by Judge John Dean Moxley to then-lead prosecutor Jeff Ashton concerning Gary’s prosecution. It is my understanding that there are two letters, both on official stationary – one handwritten, one typed. I would also like a copy of Orchid Cellmark’s report(s) and/or correspondence concerning the condition of Gary’s evidence, apparently received at their Dallas County, Texas facility in 2010 for DNA testing in even more suspect condition than William Dillon’s related evidence was received in 2008. As per-page fees would likely amount to a couple of dollars at most, I request that they be waived so that the requested copies can be emailed to me as soon as possible, and as the requested documents stand out from all others due to their unique origins, that there be no pretense of my having asked for an “investigation” that I must pay for by the hour, per specious state statute, for which any number of hours could dishonestly be claimed … and were there no need to anticipate dishonesty, I would be making this request of the records custodian.

Please forward this email to R. J. Larizza’s office, as I will similarly be addressing 7th circuit state attorney activities. Thank you both for your time; I look forward to your prompt responses.

Sincerely,

Susan Chandler

P.S. Although I conversed with Ms. Bushey after my visit to Brevard, please do not contact me by phone. Like Gary Bennett, I have volatile epilepsy and am subject to stress-engendered seizures, and just like the published accounts of Texas exoneree James Woodard’s behaviors under duress after his seizure-related death, while under duress I may seem to be participating in a conversation while minimally aware (or entirely unaware) of what is being said, including what I say. Thank you.

Florida policymakers ramp up their assault on the environment

House Bill 999 and its Senate counterpart, SB 1684, are the latest assaults on Florida’s environment by those who hold the most power and responsibility to protect it | Gainesville.com

First the Legislature gutted growth management, then it weakened our water management districts. Now it seeks to roll back protections on wetlands, allow for more pumping of our aquifer, make it harder for local governments to hold developers accountable, make it easier to pollute our waters and award 30-year, no-bid leases to Big Sugar for land critical to restoration of the Everglades.

VA Whistleblower Ignites Firestorm Over Vets’ Illnesses | The American Conservative

… Dr. Steven S. Coughlin’s charges that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) officials hid, manipulated, and even lied about research pertaining to Gulf War Illness (GWI) and health problems plaguing Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are still causing fallout a month after his stunning testimony before a key House subcommittee …

Veterans and their advocates, as well as many in the scientific community, have long believed that the VA avoids responsibility for veterans’ care by downplaying or outright ignoring evidence linking wartime experiences—such as exposure to Agent Orange, chemical weapons, or toxic pollution—to veterans’ chronic medical issues back home.

via VA Whistleblower Ignites Firestorm Over Vets’ Illnesses | The American Conservative.

Veterans must be able to access medical care within their own communities, from providers of their choice … they should be automatically enrolled in Medicare upon honorable discharge, with standard deductibles waived.

Ray McEachern: Zeigler’s Supreme Court Reply Suggests Circuit Judge Should Recuse

On May 10th, I wrote that exonerations indicated that hundreds of judges and justices need to prosecuted nationwide … that a couple of token arrests for misconduct won’t fix anything. What Ray McEachern describes below – Reginald Whitehead’s failure to recuse himself to avoid the appearance of bias – is a historically systemic, not singular, behavior in Florida’s 9th judicial circuit … the very first judge William “Tommy” Zeigler encountered should have recused himself, too.
 
Tommy came into conflict with Maurice Paul when each served as a character witness for opposing parties. With Tommy’s assistance, minority business owner Andrew James prevailed and was able to keep his bar. This did not sit well with Paul, or any other Central Florida racist.
 
Not only did Paul fail to recuse himself from Tommy’s case, he set aside the jury’s recommendation for a life sentence, and imposed a death sentence … just as he had bragged he would – pretrial – within the earshot of Ray McEachern’s brother, Leigh.
 
Tommy’s oft-told story must be told so very often that every Florida judge and justice involved begins to fear for his or her personal freedoms, i.e.; Judge Belvin Perry, who was content with Whitehead’s potential bias against Tommy, who chaired the sham Florida Innocence Commission, who presided over the Casey Anthony circus, who – as a former prosecutor for the 9th – knew that his circuit used discredited dog handler John Preston and should have kept their hands off of Gary Bennett’s 18th judicial circuit case (which Jeff Ashton sewed to Tommy’s via falsely accusing both men of homosexuality).
 
Wayward prosecutors would have a hell of a time pulling off frame-ups and cover-ups without the assistance of wayward judges and justices.
 
And Florida’s wayward judges and justices are sleeping like babies, knowing that Governor Scott is laboring to destroy evidence in many clouded capital cases the only way that’s lawful … post-execution. Three executions are currently scheduled.

Subject: Zeigler’s Supreme Court Reply Suggests Circuit Judge Should Recuse 

In December 2012, Judge Reginald Whitehead of Orlando denied a petition of a man on Florida’s death row for 37 years for an evidentiary hearing based on evidence the state had lied at trial about the existence of a material witness. That denial is now on appeal before the Florida Supreme Court. In their May 6, 2013, reply to the state’s opposition to his request to have the petition remanded to the circuit court, Zeigler’s pro bono defense team argues that settled law requires the court to assume that the facts presented in the petition for the evidentiary hearing must be accepted until the hearing judge can determine their veracity at the hearing. In a footnote at the bottom of page 16 of  the reply, Zeigler says this: ”If the circuit court’s ruling on “falsity” is read as a predetermination of the issue without having heard the evidence, then the currently assigned judge should consider whether he should continue to hear the issue on remand.”

For reasons that have never been explained, Circuit Judge Reginald Whitehead took over the case in 2004 after Judge Grincewicz had granted a demand for DNA testing in 2001. The results of the testing proved that blood on Zeigler’s shirt did not come from Zeigler’s father-in-law, one of four people found dead in the Zeigler furniture store in Winter Garden along with Zeigler himself, who was shot through the stomach but survived. DNA established that the blood came from another man, Charlie Mays, also among the dead, whom Zeigler claimed was one of a band of robbers who attacked him in his darkened store on Christmas Eve, 1975.  Mays’ pants legs were also soaked with blood – from Zeigler’s father-in-law, Perry Edwards, which would have seemed to have proved that Mays was in the store when Edwards was killed. The state had claimed that Mays had been lured into the store as much as an hour after Zeigler had killed Edwards to blame Mays for the murders.

A reporter for the Orlando Sentinel pointed out in 2009 that Judge Whitehead was married to a person who was then an Assistant State Attorney working under the prosecutor who had opposed DNA testing for Zeigler over many years.  Judge Whitehead’s wife went into private practice after the issue was raised, but the issue of whether an undisclosed marital bond presents ethical concerns in a high profile case such as Zeigler has never been determined.

The link below is to the defense reply that contains the above quote. The same web site contains many of the relevant petitions and state responses as well as the closing arguments at the trial in 1976. Linked here is also a letter  from Chief Judge Belvin Perry denying a request to have Judge Whitehead reassisgned in 2010.

Sensationalized IRS Smokescreen, No. 2

Obama Dismisses New Benghazi Furor But Condemns I.R.S. – NYTimes.com

Mr. Obama’s comments about the I.R.S. left the agency and its leadership alone in answering charges that its employees had put added demands on Tea Party and other conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status from 2010 to 2012, even though none appeared to have been denied the classification.

via Obama Dismisses New Benghazi Furor But Condemns I.R.S. – NYTimes.com.

There you have it, ” … none appeared to have been denied the classification.”

So what is all the noise about, really, if the IRS didn’t deny any exemptions?

Here’s the deal.

Not too long ago, the IRS admitted it had been lax (gasp!) in voiding the exemptions of groups that hadn’t kept their exemption paperwork current, and thousands of organizations nationwide lost their exemptions in the “scandal” of the IRS admitting their neglect. Boy Scout troops, Veterans organizations, etc., were affected … not a big fish in sight. The mainstream media was all over the story, it was Sensationalized IRS Smokescreen, No. 1.

Behind the smokescreens, the herd of elephants in the IRS Oversight Board room remains the unrighteously tax exempt; the subject of my many challenges to the IRS … including the exemption status of every last Bar association.

The mainstream media – alas – has only fleeting and disjointed objections to separate but equal justice (over which the Bar’s exemptions must be retroactively voided), just as it had no major and cohesive objections to separate but equal facilities … until pressured by protests.

Despite their obligation to maintain the public trust, the mainstream media is protective of the elite, and disparaging of the masses that provide their incomes: They will continue to participate in Sensationalized IRS Smokescreens until pressured by protests, just as they will continue to pretend – until pressured by protests – that the majority of U.S. Supreme Court Justices are acting within the Constitution in reaffirming separate but equal justice in Connick v Thompson, in declaring legal fictions (corporations) to be people, in giving Monsanto control of our food supply, in allowing death warrants to be carried out in convictions clouded by prosecutorial misconduct, in imposing ridiculous unfairness on the likes of Lilly Ledbetter, and other ugliness. They will also continue to pretend that the Senate rules don’t need revising so as to end minority control of the majority.

The herd of elephants is still in the IRS Oversight Board room, but I suspect it will take very little in the way of protest to put it out to pasture … likely just a handful of people forwarding my previous posted emails to the IRSOB with “I agree” in the subject line, because having clear objections to a federal agency’s behaviors on the public record can offset all manner of media sensationalism.

Here’s what you’ll be agreeing with: Bar associations are not legitimately exempt; instead of equally protecting the public and their members through diligently addressing misconduct, they are harboring criminals. The IRS appears to be a willing participant in the Bar’s harboring of criminals, they were unwilling to prosecute three years of income tax frauds upon me, which protected the reputation of former prosecutor/current Judge John Dean Moxley, a prominent figure in the false convictions of Juan Ramos, Wilton Dedge, William Dillon and many others.

Until Moxley is investigated and prosecuted, his harm will be continual – evidenced by his brazen interference in Gary Bennett’s case – and Moxley is but one of thousands of prosecutors nationwide who deserve to be prosecuted and incarcerated. Bennett’s frame-up is nearly identical to that of Ramos, Dedge and Dillon, with a key difference being the dog handler that testified against all of them being thoroughly discredited MORE THAN A YEAR BEFORE Bennett’s trial, within Moxley’s knowledge.

As to there being thousands of malicious prosecutors who need to be investigated and prosecuted, the blasé recipient of Moxley’s brazen interference was Jeff Ashton, who was with the prosecutors office when Linroy Bottoson was executed in 2002. As the same discredited dog handler had been used against Bottoson as Bennett, Ashton knew that accepting transfer of Bennett’s case was improper. Ashton upped the ante on malice, falsely accusing Bennett of homosexuality as he had death row innocent William “Tommy” Zeigler many years earlier.

The general public has no idea how many innocents they’re paying to be kept safe from while felons remain free, courtesy of the Bar’s penchant for protecting self-sullied reputations ahead of protecting public safety. It’s likely tens of thousands … discredited dog handlers alone participated in over 3,000 criminal investigations.

If Moxley’s behaviors when I was before him are consistent, he doesn’t read motions and doesn’t care when women are demonstrably in danger. I survived Moxley’s unwillingness to work for his wages, but Alissa Blanton didn’t; her stalker took her life, then his own. The media covered for Moxley, allowing him to directly contradict his statements just months earlier, in which he blamed Yolanda Garvin-Williams for her own homicide for not following through on securing a protection order.

So, a little bit of boldness, please, to force the IRS to get down to actual business instead of devising yet another Sensationalized Smokescreen. Use the search window, find one of my emails to the IRSOB about the Bar and forward it to them with “I agree” in the subject line. Patriotism isn’t waving flags; patriotism is an ongoing participatory process. Horrid prosecutors become judges, district attorneys, attorney generals, legislators, governors, etc., and seldom – if ever – pick up a conscience along the way. The IRS took down Capone, it’s time for them to take down the Bar. Thanks.

PA judge prosecuted; hundreds more need to be.

Sentencing Law and Policy: Corrupt state supreme court judge and sister facing state sentencing in PA

<p>Former Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin and her sister and former court aide Janine Orie will be sentenced today by Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Lester Nauhaus …

The sisters were found guilty of theft of services, conspiracy and misapplication of government funds. Janine Orie was also convicted of tampering with evidence and solicitation.

via Sentencing Law and Policy: Corrupt state supreme court judge and sister facing state sentencing in PA.

Token arrests, so far … a prosecutor here, a judge there, not at all in keeping with the enormous amount of corruption revealed by exonerations, corruption that the legal profession keeps trying to pin on law enforcement, despite it being the responsibility of well-funded prosecutor’s offices to confirm police agency’s underfunded work prior to filing charges – not the reverse.

Were I the leader of a national innocence organization, I’d show gratitude for receipt of big bucks from taxpayers (courtesy of the Justice Department) through the creation of a database of every single judge and justice that denied even one request for DNA testing of evidence. And since PCA’s have been thoroughly abused, I’d work to make them go away, removing the temptation to speciously affirm a lower court’s opinion without comment.

Just saying.

Patent Filing Claims Solar Energy “Breakthrough”

Washington, DC — In a U.S. patent application, a little-known Maryland inventor claims a stunning solar energy breakthrough that promises to end the planet’s reliance on fossil fuels at a fraction of the current cost – a transformation that also could blunt global warming.

I hope to soon blog only about all things green for residential interiors and exteriors, and increasingly sense I’ll have the opportunity yet this year. It’ll mean that conviction corruption has been kicked to the curb. About time.
