I took the time to go back and re-read that link I posted. I still stand on in the wrong hands, this grand jury stuff could be lethal. In our country, there is a designated, implied, and/or established set of checks and balances. The grand jury is immune from any of that. Going on the premise that there is truth to what is being posted here, any form of legal tactic could be used against a "target" who has no recourse to counter any of the allegations. There could exist witness tampering, manipulation, deliberate deceit, et cetera. There is no judge in the room. Members of the panel are not given any statutes or law to guide them in their deliberations. They are told to use their "common sense." We lay people do not possess the knowledge equal to that of a trained lawyer -- a prosecutor is there to prosecute -- it is one sided, it is unfair, it is wrong in my book. Only half the states in this country use the venue of a grand jury. Secrecy is wrong. The evidence presented on a one-sided biased basis would be found compelling by any lay person who is using emotion (common sense) to determine an outcome that may or may not destroy a person's life, who, the last time I checked is innocent until proven guilty in a full court of law, governed under the discretion and guidance of a judge who is duty bound to run that court room according to the laws of this state.
Just wanted to share that.

Funny you should mention the karma terrapin, as mine dropped drastically and a very nice KIO member bumped me back up!
Yes, for the particular civil suit that was filed, certain complaints were irrelevant. However, as part of the discovery process the opposing side asked for those documents, and she and her attorney still felt they were irrelevant in this particular civil suit. Nothing to hide, her attorney was just trying to stay on the topic at hand and not waste the court's time. The court ruled that she should produce the documents though, which she immediately did, and that is how they came to be public record. That's all, just explaining how these documents came to be part of public record and now anyone who has a desire to see them can obtain a copy. It was a mistake for her former employer to ask for the documents, but it is typical for them to make rash decisions and come to regret them later.
Yes, the evidence presented to the grand jury for indictment was "evidence" submitted by the former employer, the same former employer who repeatedly has been unable to produce other specific documents that it acknowledges it did have in its possession well after Stacy's termination. What happened to THOSE documents? "Enron" was a running joke there, alongside the shredder in the copy room. Actual documents and preservation of records have been requested since October of last year - the documents that the former employer is unable to produce were "lost" beginning in October.
Stacy would definitely be better off being tried in another county, including Anne Arundel. The false statements and charges would only hold here, in the land of the good old boys network, as evidenced by information that is also a matter of public record.
Her trial is September 17th and 18th, and we are all looking forward to moving on with our lives! You have no idea how much!!
Terrapin, everything is pretty much an open book. If you want to know anything else, just ask, and if we know the answer and so long as it does not violate any type of protected information rule we will gladly answer. Thanks!

....well, that's what I call intuitiveness on the part of the Court! No suppression of evidence -- the way it should be.

And now that the case has been miraculously moved to QA, and that the case in AA is closed, there might be a hope that the two shall never, say, intertwine?

If you do, Sequel, then you will get first paragraph acknowledgment in the book that will eventually be written!
Which reminds me, have any KIO members ever seen the movie, "Nothing but the truth" with Matt Dillon? It was inspired by true events and is a PERFECT example of retaliation and abuse of power.

I know I'm probably driving you crazy -- but that's one of my stronger points (??) -- anyhow, got another one. I noticed that FireGuard in Glen Burnie is owned (or operated by?) a Benito Bonanni......then I noticed that there is a Benito Bonanni who lives right here in Chester. I guess you've realized by now....that I'm really stumped on why this case was filed in Q.A. County. Just find it so ironic that Benito Bonnani lives on the Shore. So both of of them do ..... interesting. But it still makes no sense to me as the "alledged crimes" took place in A.A. County. So why the heck is it here? I'm wondering......and I don't like what I'm wondering........... Oh, and I noticed that Stacy had a request for a peace order against a Michael Ignacio Bonanni, also that was denied here in Q.A. County. Sounds like they "may" be related?

Sounds like they "may" be related? ? .....hmmm..... Hi Sequel, you aren't driving me crazy at all! We appreciate your interest. You have a VERY good eye for detail. You are indeed correct in your statements regarding the owner of Fireguard and where he resides. And yes, again you are correct, a peace order was requested by Stacy to Judge Clark against another local resident, who happens to be the company's Vice President and the owner's son. Let me just reiterate that ALL of this is a matter of public record. And, great job on your end Sequel in reading up on it!

Wow! You're quick! So why was the peace order denied? Did he threaten Stacy in some way? So John Mark MacDonald (sp) has taken the case -- I thought Lance Richardson was the lead guy in the SA's office now. If this case was so important, why didn't he take it? He always seems to present level headed and fairly. You know, I really wish Frank Kratovil was still with us............

Sheriff Hofmann is the one who encouraged Stacy to request a peace order, stating that witness intimidation would not be tolerated in Queen Anne's County.
Judge Clark denied the peace order request on the grounds that veiled threats, snide comments, murderous looks and intimidation tactics do not constitute grounds for a peace order.
Yes, Lance Richardson is the lead guy (prosecutor) now in the Queen Anne's County State's Attorney office, and he has certainly in the past presented himself to be a fair and level-headed man. John Mark McDonald reports to Richardson and is the lead prosecutor in Stacy's case. Richardson has stated that he is not familiar with Stacy's case and that the case is not his, it is John Mark McDonald's.
We also wish Kratovil was still with us. He would not have condoned the prosecution of this case.

? You're joking, right?? Are you telling me that regardless of everything that had happened up to that point, and considering the close proximity of the two of them, or three of them, and I'm assuming she was feeling fearful for her welfare and stated so, that this judge chose not to take all of it into consideration? That's incredible. Another joke, right?? The lead guy, the official lead SA, has no clue what's going on in his office. Okay...... McDonald -- doesn't seem to stay in one place long, does he? Looks like he prefers to be connected to the Shore, though. Wonder why he's not "sharing" his case info with his boss. Wonder why his boss isn't interested enough to inquire. Yeah, no doubt now. This really stinks.

No, did not know that. Wonder who appoints an interim (?) SA when there's a situation such as what happend when Frank K. moved on to Congress in mid-term. The Commissioner's? The AG's office? Gotta be a big boss somewhere.

Let's see, Stacy has contacted both the Commissioners and AG with no luck as of yet. I thought I read somewhere that Richardson was appointed by Ross, but that simply cannot be correct, as that would seem to me to be a serious conflict of interest. Elected officials certainly must have bosses, but it sure is hard to find out who they are!

Post by cheapshotartist on Jul 26, 2009 20:19:11 GMT -4
From what I understand, Judge Ross appointed Mr Richardson for the interim. Also from what I understand, Mr McDonald is a good person. That's just what I hear, not from personal experience.

Just an update for those who are interested... A hearing was scheduled for 7/29/09 in which Stacy's civil attorney had subpoenaed the former employer. All three individuals from the former employer who were subpoenaed failed to show. Even their in-house counsel failed to show. This was not a criminally-related hearing; this was more on the civil matter/whistleblower side and was not in Queen Anne's County. We have been meeting with some higher-ranking individuals in Metropolitan areas (well outside of Queen Anne's County) who are in agreement that this case is clearly whistleblower retaliation. Will continue to keep everyone posted! Look for updates to the www.savestacy.com website in the future - uploads of the civil actions filed against her former employer will be available for viewing. These particular documents are all a matter of public record. www.savestacy.com

Whistleblower.........If the prosecutor is a Golden Arches sound alike I will be picketing him, and our corrupt Centreville States Attorney's Office in the near future. Anyone with information on corruption can call me. 410-643-0286 The country belongs to the citizens, not the big shots. Anyone willing to join the picket line with me can do so. God didn't call them the 10 suggestions, and the same goes for the law of the land.

shoregurrl and fellow citizens.......The following letter was sent registered to States Attorney Lance Richardson who was appointed by the court to this elected position. As of this date I have not received an answer from this servant of the public....I can back up my letter with evidence.
1 of 3
Q.A.Co. States Attorney 1/10/09 Mr. Lance Richardson Esq. Subject: Unanswered request by Co. Administrator Mr. John Borders
Sir, Q.A.Co. Administrator John Borders letter dated 11/26/08 addressed to States Attorney Frank Kratovil clearly requests that I be investigated for possible criminal charges in reference to my filing criminal charges against M.S.P. Cpl. John Geisler. As you are aware I charged Cpl. Geisler criminally with threatening to shoot me I am requesting that the following crimes be investigated for criminal charges.
1-The official police report to the felonious Burglary and $22,000.00 vandalism of my home was rewritten three months after the fact and contained over sixty five mistakes. Under the Freedom of Information Act, M.S.P. Det. Sgt. Mitch Park and I were denied access to these reports. Sheriff Crossley stated he lost the reports. Said reports were found in the Sheriffs files by County Administrator Paul Comfort’s secretary Mrs. Amy Bonner. Sheriff Crossley denied us the ability to place a $5,000.00 reward notice in the local papers.
2-My legally parked car was towed by the Sheriff’s Department after Deputies cracked the windshield, and then placed a repair on this parked car. Repair orders can only be issued to vehicles that are being operated. While in their custody the car was broken into and items were stolen. My car was then crushed into scrap metal without notification or a court date. During this time I reported more than twenty abandoned cars parked on the public street in front of Duty’s Garage to the Sheriff’s Department. They refused to take action. Duty’s Garage towed my car for the Sheriff, and is under contract with Q.A.Co.. Abandon vehicle Md. Lic.# JGB878 was allowed to park on the W/B shoulder of Rt.#50 1/8 mile east of the Kent Narrows Bridge for ten days by the M.S.P., the Sheriff, and the States Attorney’s Office.
3-All the tires on my 1992 Ford Van were slashed. The Sheriff’s Department and the M.S.P. refused to take a report. I was advised by the M.S.P. that I got what I deserved.
4-My 2002 Monte Carlo was shot eight times with a rifle while my wife was home alone. Some unknown substance was put into the gas tank causing $3,500.00 worth of damage to the engine. There was no investigation on my complaint.
5- Based on the testimony of the primary suspect in the Felonious Burglary and $22,000.00 vandalism of my home I was sentenced to ninety days, and sent immediately to jail for a four second trespass on a vacant lot adjacent to my home. I did not commit this petty crime, and can prove it. I am a decorated Balto. City Police Officer retired due to a line of duty injury. The M.S.P. refused to charge a second witness against me for selling numerous illegal vehicles on the public street ( example expired Fla. Tag T59 FER). These crimes were reported long before the alleged trespass. The States Attorney’s Office refused to charge the car salesman with five trespasses on my property even though these trespasses were
2 of 3
documented on video. States Attorney John MacDonald also refused to charge one of the Burglary suspect for months of trespasses on my property that were also documented by video. States Attorney Mac Donald advised me that he will not charge anyone for trespassing on my property, and that I sent myself to jail. Armed with video evidence, former States Attorney Congressman Frank kratovil lost a larceny, and trespass case in Judge John Clark’s Court Room. Mr. Krativol was advised before court that Justice would not be served due to the influence of States Attorney Chip Gregory. Kratovil lacked the courage to pursue Justice, stating that Gregory was his boss.
6-During my trespass trial, Judge John J. Sause allowed jury tampering with M.S.P. Cpl. Jim Harvey. Against the rules of the court, Harvey was assigned the jury foreman position.
7-A cocaine addict and Burglary suspect was allowed to park his unlicensed commercial vehicle on the public street with the permission of the M.S.P., and at the park and ride with the permission of the M.S.P., the Q.A.Co. Sheriff, and the Q.A.Co. States Attorney’s Office. The park and ride violations continue to this day.
8-One of the Burglary suspect had for sale on the public street, a pick-up truck displaying Del. Lic.# C/L 65570 which was listed to a garage owner in Downingtown Pa., with a history of sale and resale form Ny. to Fla., Del.. The Del. plate had been expired for more than four years. The sticker was current, but was listed to another vehicle. Lt. Paul Kelly M.S.P. advised the Burglary suspect to move the illegal vehicle that had been transported across the state line for the purpose of illegal activity, because I was complaining. M.S.P. Lt. Gary Foster also condoned these violations of the law.
9-Animal Control Officer Walt Tucker, along with his supervisor John Conover, falsified official reports pertaining to a dog attack on my wife. With the permission of Co. Administrator Paul Comfort and States Attorney Frank Kratovil. This attack occurred inside my house by a Burglary suspect’s large unleashed Rottweiler dog. On a second occasion the dog entered my home scratching me on the arm, drawing blood. With the help of States Attorney MacDonald who acted in violation of his oath of office, Judge Atkins ruled not guilty on the leash law. 10-Another neighbor involved with the Burglary sprayed grass killer on my lawn. M.S.P. Sgt. Elsey refused to take a report. Sheriff Deputies took the report, but the court refused to charge.
11-I was charged several times for having high grass when the grass involved belonged to a Burglar suspect. I counter charged for the same violation, but the County refused to charge.
12-Q.A.Co. Zoning under Mr. Jim Barton refuses to write any violations of the law when it pertains to his friends in the seafood business, or any of the Burglary suspects.
13-Court summonses are purposely lost to ensure the outcome of a trial. Once, with charges I placed against a Burglary suspect for serious traffic violations. Also, former Sheriff Deputy Beville was arrested for drunk driving under orders of M.S.P. Sgt. Stein. The charging Trooper failed to show for court due to 3 of 3
an un-served summons and the case was thrown out. Former Deputy Beville is now a member of the M.S.P.. He is the son of retired M.S.P. Sergeant Earl Beville.
14-In front of four witnesses, M.S.P. Captain Marty Knight stated that Senator E.J.Pipkin ordered M.S.P. Sgt. Earl Beville, to get me. Sgt. Beville and Lt. Gary Foster used their positions to try and run me out of business. Trp. Laura Childress under orders advised me that I needed a M.S.P. license to operate my business, and that I was not qualified to get the license. Under the threat of a $5,000.00 a day fine, I was ordered not to go to work. M.S.P. lawyers later concluded that no license was required for my business. I reported these crimes of malfeasance in office crimes to the M.S.P.. After a ten month investigation conducted by Det. Sgt. Christi Meekins she informed me that my complaint was sustained, and I would be happy with the results. The following week I received official notice that my complaints of criminal activity were unfounded, and that I was not entitled to copies of the reports.
15-Two relatives of a Burglary suspect were caught red handed by Deputy Sheriff Sgt. Sonny Jones stealing lumber from my property and storing the stolen property in their garage. I demanded that these thieves be arrested and he refused. States Attorney Chip Gregory, stated in writing, that the crime was not worthy of the courts time.
16-I was advised by M.S.P. Lt. Gary Foster that it’s his Troopers discretion not to write violations of the law. The violations were being committed in sight of his Troopers and with an official complaint from a citizen.
17-Hearsay, and unsigned bills of sale are admitted in Q.A.Co. Courts as evidence while sworn official statements of charges are not.
I am willing to testify under oath, or be polygraph tested on any of these charges. Please investigate these violations of the law.
Respectfully, Charles (Pete) E. Richter Jr. 109 Emory Circle Stevensville, Md. 21666 410-643-0286 securitypeterichter@hotmail.com

invisable user.......First time. This is the one I posted more than once.
1 of 4 Governor Robert Ehrlich, 9/17/04 Sir, We are coming to you as citizens victimized by a system totally out of control in Queen Anne’s County. The arrogance in this good old boy system is a disgrace. It’s common knowledge there is a double standard when it comes to justice in Queen Anne’s County. We are praying you receive this letter, and acknowledge it’s time for someone in government to stand tall. No citizen should be forced to move from their home, by criminals, with the protection of the authorities. After working two jobs for over twenty years we moved from Baltimore to Kent Island. We had a house built, and a week before we were to move in our first new home, the house was burglarized, and methodically vandalized to the amount of $22,000.00 in damage. Sheriff Deputies advised us that the neighbors were the culprits, and assured us they would solve the case. At this point in time the case is still open, the Sheriff refuses to turn the investigation over to the State Prosecutors Office, or the State Police. On paper MSP Det. Sgt. Mitch Park states that Sheriff Crossley is willing to turn the investigation over, but has lost all the reports. The reports were found under the freedom of information act, and were not the original reports. This burglary is a felony, intended to run us out of the neighborhood. Why would the Sheriff not want to solve this case? Witnesses observed Mr. Zonetti 101 EMORY Circle along with Mark Xander 105 Emory Circle on our rear porch several days before the burglary. They were casing the door that was removed from its frame, to gain entrance to the house. The burglary caused a six-month delay in our occupation of our house. Sheriff Crossley refuses to investigate after pointing out the neighbors as the burglars. Sheriff Sonny Jones caught the Xander’s sixteen-year-old son Jason, and a cousin stealing lumber from our property, one week after the burglary. A month earlier Jason was arrested by the MSP for stealing cigarettes at a gas station. Both the Xander boys were involved in the vandalism of another home in the neighborhood. However, I was notified in writing that the States Attorney Chip Gregory, deemed the trespass, and larceny of our lumber was not worthy of the courts time. Prior to the burglary the other neighbors informed us that the oldest Xander son Chris, terrorizes the neighborhood with his extremely loud drum playing. A survey of the property line revealed the Xander driveway, and drainage ditch were on our property. Our solution for these problems would have pleased anyone desiring to be a good neighbor. We offered to give the Xanders the money to insulate their garage for sound. Then Chris could play 24 – 7, and not bother anyone. A survey of the property line revealed the Xander driveway, and drainage ditch were on our property As to the property line, and their use of our property, we advised the Xanders they could take their time, but to have it done before we move in, and I offered my labor if they needed it. Mark Xander refused my offer to insulate. The next day our home was burglarized. All the evidence points to the Saia’s, the Xanders’s, and the Zonetti’s as involved in the burglary. At this point in time we decide to handle the problem by calling the Sheriff’s Department. But to our disbelief, Sheriff Deputies encouraged Chris to play louder. Deputy Chris Layton stuck his finger in my wife’s face and ordered her not to call again. From this point on our treatment by authorities has been nothing less than disgraceful. As with the whistle blower, he who points out the problem becomes the problem. Joe Zonetti had for sale, on the public street, a pick-up displaying Delaware plates that were expired for more than four years, while displaying a current sticker, listed to a garage owner in Downingtown Pa., and having a history of sale from New York to Florida. Lt. Paul Kelley MSP warned Zonetti to move the truck, because I made a complaint. There were other serious tag and title cases, illegal sale of numerous vehicles, and the operation of unlicensed, and uninsured vehicles on the street, with the protection of the police. This information was put over the air on talk radio, WCBM Bobby Berger Show. State Police have stated that my picture has been seen on the barrack walls, and that my wife and I have being targeted. The profit from the illegal vehicle trade, is only exceeded by that of the illegal drug trade The Xander home burned to the ground in twelve minutes due to a suspicious fire. Investigators stated an accelerant stored under the front porch caused the quick burn, leaving their property vacant. I was charged with trespassing on this vacant lot for four second or less. Mr. Joe Saia 104 Emory Circle testified that from five hundred and fifty feet (nearly tow football fields), while standing on his porch behind a weeping willow tree, and threw nine eight-foot lea land cypress trees, over the invisible property line that was perpendicular to his location, for four seconds or less. Saia is a primary suspect in the burglary of our home. I reported Saia for his illegal operation of a construction company from a residential residence, in violation of the zoning laws. I also reported his son Brian, a cocaine addict, with a violent record of assaults, for illegally parking untagged vehicles on the public street, and for storing commercial vehicles at the State run park and ride. The MSP did nothing with the untagged vehicles on the street, and ticketed every violation at the park and ride, except the Saia vehicle. Brian also threatened my eighty five year old father, a WWII veteran, and retired policeman with physical violence, which according to court commissioner Mrs. Ikes, is not a crime. Frightened by this dope addicts physical threats, my father moved for his own protection. The other witness against me was Matthew Schuster who was running a car lot from his home. Schuster admitted he did not know where the property line was, but that I went over the line for four seconds or less. Schuster sold and operated untagged, uninsured, unregistered vehicles, displaying expired foreign tags from as far away as Texas, and Florida, with the permission of the MSP. My wife and a totally disinterested person, who I had never met, testified I never trespassed. Judge Clark found me guilty, and imposed the maximum fine possible. I appealed the decision to Judge John Sause who sentenced me to ninety days in jail, the maximum fine, placed me on two years supervised probation, and ordered me not to have any contact with the neighbors. While in jail the Sheriff Deputies advised the other inmates that I was a retired Baltimore City Policeman. Prior to this obvious injustice I never had as much as parking ticket on my record. During my incarceration for a crime I did not commit, my wife videoed Schuster trespassing on our property five times, The States Attorney Chip Gregory refused to prosecute. Every time Schuster cut his grass he would trespass onto my property. The Xanders would also trespass every time they cut their grass, and their basketball hoop was located three foot from the property line. We have had hundreds of illegal trespasses on our property by the neighbors, their friends, vehicles, and animals. I videoed Chris Xander stealing our property stakes. You could hear the stakes striking the concrete as he threw them into his garage. Judge Clark ruled that my testimony, and video of the crime amounted to an insufficient identification. Mark Xander dumped a truckload of dirt on our property. We filed a complaint with the court, and the States Attorney would not take the case to court, stating” Judge Clark would not find anyone guilty of something so silly”. We received this notice after we sat in the courtroom for six hours. While on probation I was refused permission to leave the state to attend my youngest grandsons Christening, by Judge John Sause. I own property, have a pension, have family, and a business in the State Of Maryland. I am not a flight risk. The punishment handed out by Judge Sause is beyond comprehension. No one has ever been punished so severely for such a minor infraction. So why me, and my family? Soon after getting out of jail I met Mr. E.J.Pipkin while he was campaigning for the Senate. He told me what I wanted to hear, and we parted with his promise for help. When elected Senator E.J.Pipkin advised me to call his office. I spoke with Mrs. Theresa Goddard who was in sympathy with our outrageous treatment by the local government, and the justice system. In detail I explained the problems in this letter, and many more not mentioned, but just as disgusting. One of Mrs. Goddard’s promises was to arrange a meeting with Col. E. Norris, to ascertain why his men refused to enforce the law. Due to my seemingly aggressive voice I advised Mrs. Goddard I was naturally loud, ant to stop me if she had a problem. At no time did I have a problem with Mrs. Goddard who was flabbergasted by Judge Sause’s decision not to permit me to attend my grandson’s christening. At the end of our conversation Mrs. Goddard stated she had no problems with my behavior. A good example would be Sgt. Kristi Meakins MSP. I had the same conversation with her, and several other high-ranking female secretaries. While waiting for a meeting with Col. Norris the MSP made an official visit to my home. I was ordered not to go to work until I obtain a license from the MSP for my business. When in actuality no license was necessary. I was threatened with a $5,000.00 a day fine, and told I was not qualified for the license. At the Waterloo Barrack I learned that the complaint against me was given anonymously to Lt. Gary Foster, which is impossible. There would be proof if the complaint came by phone, fax, or US Mail. If the complaint were in person, Lt. Foster would have a paper trail. He has none. When assigned to the Centreville Barrack Lt. Foster condoned his men not enforcing the law. I took my complaint over his head. After a heated debate with the supervisors over the law, no conclusion was reached, even though the law said I did not need the license. Later that day TFC Laura Childress advised me her supervisors are requiring the license, there would be no fines, and they would help me do the paperwork. An appointment was made for the following week to meet with Captain Satchell. Mrs. Goddard was advised of the situation, and faxed my son a copy of the law. Armed with the law that agrees with me, and two witnesses, we met with Capt. Satchell of the Waterloo Barrack. Capt. Satchell questioned Lt. Foster who changed his story. The anonymous complainant was Sgt. Earl Beville. Beville and Foster are long time friends, on, and off the job. In black and white the law states that I do not need to be licensed. However, MSP found it necessary to go to their lawyers, who went to Annapolis, before they would admit I did not violate any laws. Shortly after the license threat Senator Pipkin informed me I had to see Capt. Marty Knight of the Centreville Barrack before I could see Col. Norris. We went to this meeting with our son, and a witness. Captain Knight advised the illegal vehicle sales was nothing, “it’s only someone trying to earn a few bucks”. He drew the line when it came to selling drugs to kids for a few extra bucks. As for Sgt. Earl Beville illegally using his authority to try to run us out of business. The Captain stated, ”It wasn’t Sgt. Beville, it was Senator Pipkin, he ordered the Sergeant to get something on you”. We walked out of the meeting, and I immediately called Mrs. Goddard who was at a loss for words, and totally caught off guard. She advised that the Senator never talked to Sgt. Beville. The Senator advised us that he’s done all he could do. That he asked Sgt. Beville for the proper protocol for a meeting with Col. Norris, and nothing else. That he, and his staff had nothing to do with the complaint against my business, and agreed to put it on paper for us. He did so. I made an official complaint to the MSP in reference to criminal charges against everyone concerned in this illegal attempt to ruin my livelihood. With only few witnesses to interview, it took nearly one year to complete. At this point in time they say no one did anything wrong, the case is closed, and I am not entitled to copies of the reports, which are public record. This enables the MSP to rewrite a report if they choose, and casts a large shadow over their integrity. I volunteered to undergo a polygraph examination in reference to my allegations. They refused my request. Mrs. Goddard long after the fact reported she was scared of me, feared for her life, and asked Sgt. Beville to check if I had a gun permit. Beville is required to file an official report, and he didn’t. Mrs. Goddard is required to report threats to the building Police for her protection, and the others in the building. She did not. I was seeking help from the Senator, why would I threaten a person who I think is helping me? Also, I volunteered to submit to a polygraph examination. Governor we are asking for your help in our fight for justice. It has been an eye opening experience that cost us our life’s savings fighting for justice in a corrupt system. I am a retired decorated Baltimore City Policeman, who retired due to a line of duty injury. My security business has contracted to the same company for over twenty-three years without one complaint. What a disgrace to every man who died fighting for this country. As Governor you have the power to correct a grave injustice, as did others below your rank, but they lacked the courage. How evil is Judge Sause to send an innocent man to jail for a four second trespass on a vacant lot, by a witness five hundred and fifty feet away (almost two foot ball fields). Denying us the ability to gather as a family for a sacred, once in a lifetime religious event, is just plain common. Had Senator Pipkin and the MSP succeeded in their attempt to cost us our livelihood, we would have been forced from our home. We went to the Senator for help. Now we need your help. Governor you can help us by referring the burglary, and vandalism of our home over to The State Prosecutors Office, under the supervision of Chief Investigator Mr. James Cabezas. We want a proper investigation, and the people responsible for this crime brought to justice. Tape is of our verbal complaint taken by the MSP 7/11/03 enclosed. Respectfully, Mr. & Mrs. Charles E. Richter Jr. 109 Emory Circle, Stevensville, Md. 21666 410-643-0286 Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere M.L.King

Pete, was your request of "referring the burglary, and vandalism of our home over to The State Prosecutors Office, under the supervision of Chief Investigator Mr. James Cabezas" ever granted? This is something that we are trying to accomplish as well. We have found some of the actions by the Queen Anne's County State's Attorney office to be unconstitutional and completely retaliatory. People simply do not fully understand until they find themselves in a similar type of situation. We have received confirmation from sources higher than those of the Queen Anne's County State's Attorney office that the whistleblower retaliation against Stacy by her former employer would never have gotten as far as it has in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, or Wicomico counties. _________________________________________________ I found this information on wikipedia regarding prosecutorial misconduct very interesting. Several of these apply to Stacy's case: Abuses of discretion Prosecutors are given discretion about how they conduct their business. However, while some practices are not illegal, they may be seen as abusive and in need of reform: Selective prosecution, perhaps required for lack of resources, but potentially corrosive. (This applies to Stacy's case and other cases in Queen Anne's County.)Capture of the grand jury, misusing it as a tool for inquisitorial abuse, or excluding citizen complaints from being heard. (This applies to Stacy's case and other cases in Queen Anne's County.)Plea bargaining abuses, such as seeking testimony in exchange for leniency. This may solicit perjury or falsified evidence. (Plea bargaining abuse applies to Stacy's case and other cases in Queen Anne's County.)“Horsetrading”, the practice of colluding with defense attorneys to agree to get some of their clients to plead guilty in exchange for letting others off. Threatening public officials, especially judges, with prosecution if they don't unduly support their cases. Tainting of jury pools with public statements by prosecutors that are either inaccurate, exaggerated, unsupported by evidence or that could be inadmissable at trial, and such statements become widely promulgated by the media. Prosecutors causing depositions in a related civil trial which were likely to yield exculpatory evidence to be stayed until a criminal trial concludes without the benefit of that exculpatory evidence. (This applies to Stacy's case.)Prosecutors naming a host of “unindicted co-conspirators” in conspiracy cases to intimidate potential defense witnesses with threats of retaliatory prosecution. Prosecutors using their Peremptory Challenges to remove from the jury anyone with releveant experience in the complex subjects of a trial. Defense attorneys often use similar tactics. Both attempt to prevent a juror's technical knowledge from interefering with the credibility of their expert witnesses. Prosecutors pursuing criminal penalties for selected industry practices in Corporate America when regulatory intervention would be more appropriate. For example, prosecuting a mechanic for minor violations of the Clean Water Act rather than affording the opportunity for the mechanic to correct his error and pay the appropriate fines. Prosecutors using multidefendant trials to get defendants to turn on one another in the court room, as judges may be reluctant to allow separate trials in multi-defendant cases. __________________________________________________ Also, found an interesting website worth reading if anyone has the time and inclination: www.lawmall.com/criminal/

shoregurrl..........The Sheriff refused to turn the investigation over to both the M.S.P., and the States Prosecutors Office. Sadly they have the authority to obstruct justice in this manner. In a letter from Mr. Cabezas dated 11/17/03 I was informed that Sheriff Sgt. John Heddeniger after an extensive search was unable to locate the reports to the felonious burglary and $22,000.00 vandalism of my home. Any Bonner assistant to Co. Adm. Paul Comfort walked over to the police station, and found the reports in the file. Said reports were rewritten three months after the fact and contained over 65 mistakes. States Attorney Frank Kratovil condoned this malfeasance in office, along with the criminal charge of falsifying an official police report. On the county public T.V. show I reported this corruption to deaf ears........Pete Richter candidate for Sheriff 2010
