Injustice in Volusia County Courts

Sitting in Volusia County Courthouse in Daytona, Florida after listening to the public defender offer two years probation as a plea bargain presented by the DA.  The threat of using a juvenile record to link another crime makes it easier for everyone, except the innocent accused of the crime.  The police who target, the public defender who is so backlogged in cases he is lucky if he remembers the name let alone any information regarding the case.  Now the victim has moved and the State will have to fly him back in for the trial.  Who is ready for trial or is everyone continued so the wave will crash in the future?

A prisoner speaks up as to his lack of representation by the public defender.  The Judge was getting upset as to the options, self representation, use the public defender given to him, or continue for more time.  Pushed to continue by his jeering public defender, the man is continuing to bank roll the jail a little longer.  The deputy reprimands a prisoner looking into the public seating, the defendants awaiting their fate, the victim ready to testify. 

The jesting matches of Justice, whose sharpest tongue is the sword of choice, the letter of the Law applied by those who memorize common statues and tortes.  Processing like cattle in a stockyard each to a different pen.  Most being sent out to fatten some more, hopefully another charge is acquired and the plot thickens. The poor, ignorant, and trusting people who believed there was Justice served in court.  Instead they are lambs led to slaughter, processed into a system that is run by the wolves, licking their chops at the innocence of new stock.  Not knowing their Civil rights and the devious actions that are used in prosecuting the innocent.  The majority looked like they had no home to keep themselves let alone the retirement for the criminal justice system that eats high on the hog of the poor.

Heaven forbid the Cannabis charge carries more time then grand theft auto.  Hearing that over the disrespectful Assistant District Attorneys sitting in a group in the jury box, talking over the people in the court room, like a reunion catching up with each other’s lives.  How can anyone hear the seriousness of the Judge trying to do a good job preventing the travesty of innocent guilt?           

Another prisoner speaks up regarding evidence the public defender will not present for the plaintiff that would result in a dismissal.  The arrogant attitude of the public defender controlling the lives of people is overwhelming.  A deputy asserting his authority to the people sitting, pointing his finger to someone who had quietly communicated to a prisoner loudly ejected her from the courtroom.  Then denied the prisoner his day in court.  If they did not show support would seem more the criminal act. 

Sober, mentally alert, competent to make a decision in the sentencing, or do they just want to hurry the process along so they would not have to waste another day, waiting in the cattle line for processing.

Sitting in court I see more injustice then justice. This free attorney appointed for your defense is nothing short of a railroad into the prison system.  They play with peoples lives like they do not care, the puppets on a string dancing merrily along for the paycheck.  Officers getting ready to pounce on the prisoner speaking, his paperwork not catching up, lost in the system. What system, other than a system of revenue to profit off the disease and decay in Society. I see no justice being served.

After speaking with the public defender who suggested an unreasonable plea bargain we requested he asked for dismissal due to prejudiced evidence with malicious prosecution.  The State’s witness had not complied with the requested deposition and moved out of State.  Instead the public defender requested another continuance.  Isn’t he supposed to represent the good of his client?  To disregard requested actions and seek further delay shows adequate cause to back up in the system. How many innocent pleas just to get the charges over with or get sentenced for crimes they do not commit? Why do we have a criminal justice system?  It is not for the profit, because crime does not pay.

Guns don’t kill people

If man has been killing man since the beginning of time, then guns are not the problem.  Anger, Hate, Envy, Violence are a few of the deadly sins behind murder.  When violence is used as a form of entertainment the line between realities gets blurred in acceptable behavior.  It is the violent negative stories that get the focus of the front page news.  The ultimate video game Prize in Notoriety, a place in History books for the mentally ill who seek fame.

Take away guns there are still rocks, sticks, fire and all that has been used as weapons of war before guns.  The only way to stop violence is to prevent it.  To identify the problem is to find a solution.  What disease ails us?   Who did you last point your finger at?  If thoughts create form than whom have you hurt?  Being responsible for our own thoughts, actions, and words may they be of love?

The chemical imbalance in people can be addressed with proper nutrition.  Not the artificial, GMO, processed food, spirits that short circuit our nervous systems causing personality changes. Thoughts, word, actions that we normally would not think say or do.

The pharmaceutical drugs that are given without consideration of long term effects of possible generations afflicted as a result of non disclosure over profit.

People Kill People with any means they can.  Until we come together as a Society, that is the problem. The solution is not getting rid of any and everything used to kill people.  If that would happen, we would all have to walk around hand less?

Seeking Justice

To Whom it may concern,

Where does police surveillance overstep the privacy of the people they are sworn to serve and protect? Who holds those accountable for personal vendettas using their position as law enforcement? Punishable under Article 42, Government officials, including police officers, may be required to pay monetary damages to a victim of wrongful arrest, according to Title 42, Section 1983 of the U.S. Code. A wrongful arrest is a violation of constitutional rights.

Hummelstown police staked out the apartment of my daughter, who recently moved back to Pennsylvania after 18 years to be reunited with her family, only to be targeted by the same officer who swore she would put her brother in prison. This officer lied about the actions of her brother to get him convicted. Now she is continuing her personal vendetta by targeting the sister.

Hummelstown police took garbage outside the apartment to find probable cause to get a search warrant. They found Cannabis stems in a garbage bag, got a search warrant to find one peace pipe and a Cannabis roach in the apartment. Now my daughter has been fingerprinted and put into the Criminal Justice System. These actions stem from profiling and Targeting for THREE Generations. Enough is enough. All those who are responsible for these wrong doings, Will Be Held Accountable.

There is a hearing 8am at District Justice Pelino on July 25^th. DJ Pelino is the same person who propositioned me as an 18 year old girl when I worked at I Hop restaurant in Hershey. I thwarted his advances and my family has been under attack ever since. He has continually violated the 1^st, 4^th , 5th, 8th and 14^th Amendment rights to prosecute my family. How can my daughter get Justice when the opposite is the example of his judgment? I will gladly submit to taking a Polygraph to prove these statements are true.

In contacting the Pennsylvania Chief Justice Ronald Castile’s office, in regards to the mistreatment of Shellby’s brothers by the Criminal Justice System, it has been verified there are legal grounds for a lawsuit. By profiting off the disease of alcoholism, refusing treatment violated their Civil Rights. These latest actions of the Hummelstown police prove this.

Sincerely,

Lisa Landis

To whom it may concern,

This letter is written in regards to my sons. They have been repeat offenders, violating probation due to their fatal disease of Alcoholism.  Recognized by the American Medical Association as a fatal illness, we question why we keep treating alcoholics as criminals?  Is it just to profit the criminal justice system or is rehabilitation the goal?

If you want to make a difference in the recidivism rate, the breakdown in the family unit, and lower the prison numbers then treatment needs to be an option.  Education regarding the disease is needed before diagnosis can occur.  With 75-80% of people incarcerated under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of arrest, we can no longer ignore this issue.

The criminal justice system has contributed to the destruction of my family.  I am a survivor of 18 years of domestic violence.  There was no one or shelter to take children and animals in.  After trying and starting over, In February 1995, I had enough abuse; the boys were involved in an accident with their father when he was drunk.  I made him leave and his father evicted his grandchildren and me three days later.  Then, I lost everything, business, house, animals, children, and my mind to the insanity of alcoholism.

My children have survived much trauma.  Their father received three months probation when he demolished my car we were sitting in, with an axe.  He would pay no support causing us to lose our place of residences.  No shelter would take us in because we had animals.  I received a fine when my horse was eating grass in the neighbor’s yard and my father in law gets no punishment for having 21 sticks of dynamite lying around.  The boys thought they were flares and were trying to light them.  I could go on with many more horror stories of abuse suffered at the hands of their father.  No woman or child should ever suffer as we did.  Now to see the pattern continue with my children, enough is enough.

The police who slapped their father on the hands for his wrong doings became the magistrates that set exceedingly high bonds, violating their 8^th Amendment rights.  The probation officers who continually stated their intent on prison and not treatment as I repeatedly requested.  Treatment that makes a difference, they have a chemical imbalance of the brain that needs to be addressed on top of PTSD.

There should be a Law enacted that No elected officials should have stock in alcohol, pharmaceutical, or the private prisons.  These industries only capitalize on the disease and decay in Society.  With the money spent on repeat offenders what ultimate cost to Society if people were educated to be productive members?  

Thank you for researching their records.

Citizen Journalist Targeted and Arrested

Reverend Lisa Landis, citizen journalist in Asheville, NC was targeted and arrested for covering a local story. The Occupy Asheville march was on November 2, 2011, in solidarity with Oakland, CA. Arrested three days after the event on November 5, 2012 and charged with three offenses, resisting public officers, disorderly conduct, and standing on the highway impeding traffic.  

After three court appearances despite her clear role as a citizen journalist, Lisa Landis was found guilty and sentenced to time served. Landis immediately indicated her intent to appeal the sentence, telling the judge, “I was targeted and forcefully arrested because I continue to speak about the corruption of District Attorney Ron Moore…I will not stop until Ron Moore is arrested.”

Rev Landis is the former Producer of GLoLady TV at URTV, Western North Carolina Community Media Center in Asheville, NC. The Buncombe County Commissioners denied the funding needed to keep public access available to the local community. One of the reasons for the denial of funds is to continue the cover up of corruption in the local government. Co-Producer of “What’s Really Going On In Western North Carolina” that focused on this corruption was also exposed by Forbes. Local media has limited coverage of this travesty and doubtful they will cover the trial on June 4, 2012 at the Buncombe County Court House room 5 at 10am. With Ron Moore as the prosecuting District Attorney how can Rev Landis get an honest trial with someone who Targeted her?

Please help call International Attention to this cause. The logic that convicted her would convict any journalist documenting the scene of virtually any demonstration. If DA Ron Moore does have the alleged connection with the Mexican drug Cartel the why is he still in office? Why will the independent audit of the evidence room not be released? This is one story that is ready to blow sky high.

Silenced by local government | Mountain Xpress | Asheville, NC

We The People Want To Speak!


Silenced by local government | Mountain Xpress | Asheville, NC

If our government is of the people, for the people and by the people, then why is our government taking from the people? Why is our government constantly trying to stop the people from gathering and sharing information? What does our government wish to cover up? Why was the information that exposed the corruption in our local government silenced?

Who is responsible for arresting innocent people in their overzealous attempt to discredit, undermine and punish? Occupy Asheville wants to educate the public concerning corruption, misuse of power and financial culpability, among other important things for survival in these economic times.

The government TV stations are supported by twice the funds allotted for the people's public access. With Asheville and Buncombe County receiving almost $3 million in video sales tax and Public, Education and Government revenues in 2011, how can we honestly say there was no funding for the people? Buncombe County reported an excess of $300,000 in the General Fund. This is money that should have been honored by contract for public access. This attempt to "charge" for free speech is another attempt by local officials to silence the people.

In our public-access station at Western North Carolina Community Media Center, we the public had a place to assemble in order to communicate with the rest of our community. There were people who had jobs and were starting small businesses at URTV. Let's finally get the truth out. URTV was not mismanaged; seven audits in five years proved that.

We the people want to gather and communicate with each other. If our government does not listen to the people speak then they need to resign the position they were elected to fill. (See some of my videos from Occupy Asheville protests at http://avl.mx/prp0 and http://avl.mx/prp1).

— Lisa Landis
Arden
Editor’s note: Xpress could not verify the specific funding figures that Landis cites in her letter. County Manager Wanda Greene told Xpress via email that the “numbers are inaccurate,” although supporters of URTV, a program of the disbanded WNCCMC, continue to dispute such claims. For more about the issue, visit http://avl.mx/9l.

Imagine... the figures not correct? Well then what figures were sent to me by the County and City, because those are the figures I quoted. Is this another ploy to keep the truth from coming out?

Ask the County and City for the itemized budget of their Government channels for the last 4 years. Ask to see how much money was received in video sales tax and PEG revenues. Look on your cable bill to see what you are charged and still do not have public access. Listen to the December 6, 2011 Buncombe County Commissioners meeting to hear the excess in the General Fund: http://www.buncombecounty.org/Governing/Commissioners/meetings.asp.

As with the Occupy movement, local Government does not wish to honor our 1st Amendment rights. They try to discredit and deny the real issues any chance they get.

I was targeted and arrested for participating in a march on November 2, 2011, that their video evidence will prove my innocence. My voice is questioning the officer about the legalities. My video of the march uploaded on youtube the day before my arrest on Nov 5, 2011, has the tittle Occupy Asheville march with police escort. I was acting as media, same as the cameraman for WLOS. My arrest was meant to discredit, undermine, and intimidate. I had just received an application to volunteer at the jail as a Reverend and for AA meetings. I did Not want to do Anything to be arrested for. This Is A Waste Of Tax Payers Money!!!

My goal is Justice for All.... Not just for a select few of the richest who continue to suppress the people for their own greed.


This is one of the TV shows they wanted to silence because it revealed too much corruption in our local Government: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt-aCsxnD_E&feature=colike.

If we do not hold them accountable, they will continue to oppress the people. Ignorance is easier to control, because knowledge is power.

Stand up for your rights, Before they are gone!

This is a video clip of my actions at the march on November 2, 2011.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-eqXxmkOEE

I Was Targeted To Silence My Voice. The charges filed against me are bogus. This is a deliberate attempt to discredit, undermine, and intimidate. These charges will be used as figures that Occupy Asheville cost the tax payers.

We The People Want To Communicate with the rest of our Community. That is what brings the Unity. To Deny Communication Is A Violation Of Our 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHT.... Who Is Responsible For This In-Justice? When will you be next?

Homeless woman harrassed by Buncombe County Commissioners 9-13-11

Taking away the people's 1st Amendment rights is like telling our kids to play in the streets... what are we fighting for if not for our rights and freedom?

Go Back through all the Mountain X articles and forums regarding URTV and let the facts speak for themselves. View the Buncombe County Commissioners meetings and compare quotes in the local media. http://www.buncombecounty.org/Governing/Commissioners/meetings.asp#archived

I think the people should be educated on the facts not slander and libel fiction.

Greed is forefront of much corruption. Why is the Mountain X not investigating and reporting on the corruption that is presented at County meetings?

URTV was the best public access station in the State and a model for the Nation in public access potential. The organization and the people should have been commended on the accomplishments. Not distracted by slander, libel, court, 7 audits in 5 years to consistently prove the organization was properly managed and flourishing.

As soon as a reliable attorney steps up to the plate the Law suit will be filled. Until then the evidence piles up.

Let facts speak for themselves. Sometimes, Truth is Brutal. Fair is fair.

Criminal Greed

The Criminal Justice System is the profit of the War on Drugs. Bigger jails and prisons to house the growing numbers the Court system has deemed as bad people. These human beings are afflicted by a deadly addiction or a disease. Why do we not address these issues instead of making career criminals of them? Is it the profit in the disease and decay in Society that Corporate thrives upon? These are sick people and should have been addressed as such.

With the money spent to house an inmate that usually becomes a repeat offender if drugs and alcohol are a factor. Why not put these people in a treatment program and build them up as a valuable member of Society instead of adding to their lack of self esteem and damnation. If they were to be healed after a time or two in treatment is that not a substantial savings in the need for Criminal prosecution of such?

The judges who see these people repeatedly should be held accountable for the repeat offence as much as the person who stands in front of them. Where does the problem lie or does anyone care? If we keep breeding a cesspool of sickness then it will continue to multiply through out the Nations. Do we want a solution or will we allow the profit of the disease and decay in Society by a limited few?

where is marijuana a criminal offence?

To solve a problem one must go to the root of it. Why is a once prescribed herbal remedy now a criminal drug charge punishable by law, when it could be used as a solution to several problems? Why is it a criminal offense when the adverse effects are nil in comparison to alcohol? If we are going to criminalize a substance then alcohol should be on the top of the list, followed by cigarettes in regards to bodily damage by a controlled substance.

If we were to look at the real reason that marijuana is criminalized, we would find that it is profit motivated. We would immediately decrease the need for lawyers and judges in the Criminal Justice System. How many people tie up the courts with possession and paraphernalia charges not linked to any other criminal charge? How much is spent in the enforcement that could be averted to more pressing matters?

The benefits and byproducts of marijuana far out weigh any negative effects of its use. The documented medical proof is obviously going against the FDA’s requirement that only a drug could cure a disease. How many Big Pharmaceutical sales would be lost by the public using natural herbal cures? How many suicide side effects of these drugs could have been averted using a natural remedy and not a synthetic with known side effects of such? Not to mention the many Corporate Industries that would have cheaper alternative to their products. Food, rope, clothing, paper, oil, and renewable fuel source just to name a few.

When we have all the facts, we have to question; where is marijuana a criminal offense?
