There is certainly a method to the madness in the Medina County system of injustice. Here's how it works:
As already shown, COLLIER sits on his throne in the Medina County courthouse, compliments of county prosecutor Dino Holman (Hoe-Man) and the Medina Democrat Party, who refrain from running a Democrat opponent against COLLIER just as long as COLLIER remains obedient and subservient to HOLMAN. (It is my judgment that the only "throne" upon which COLLIER is qualified to sit is the one located in his household bathroom!)
Now Hoe-Man, the county prosecutor of Medina County, ultimately decides who is to be indicted by the Medina County Grand Jury.
Of course, once Hoe-man has decided to indict an individual, he is making plans just how he is going to punish the indicted defendant. That, of course, comes directly from Hoe-Man's very own website where he pledges to punish individuals "INDICTED for criminal offenses."
Now comes THE ART OF THE FIX.
You must now come to recognize that COLLIER has developed a reputation in the community as a notoriously bad judge and a heavy-handed sentencer. Of course, what most people do not realize is that COLLIER simply imposes the sentence dictated to him by HOLMAN.
It is common knowledge and belief among the citizenry, and even among Sheriff's Office personnel, that a defendant will not receive a fair trial before COLLIER. Hoe-Man, of course, uses these very facts to his tactical advantage.
Now in Medina County, HOLMAN has assigned SLEAZEBURY to attend all matters in COLLIER's courtroom, and has assigned Mustafah to judge Kimbler's room. That way HOLMAN can keep a firm grip on the goings-on in each courtroom lest some indicted defendant should escape the punishment deemed warranted by HOLMAN.
Once an individual has been indicted, HOLMAN, by and through the services of SLEAZEBURY and MUSTAFAH, HOLMAN's criminal assistants, generally plea-bargain with the defense attorney.
SLEAZEBURY and MUSTAFAH, with HOLMAN's approval and blessing, EXTORT guilty pleas from defendants, threatening defendants that COLLIER will impose a really stiff sentence if the defendant opts to go to trial. SLEAZEBURY really doesn't worry about a defendant being acquitted since he rests reliably on the fact that COLLIER will do all he can to be sure that the jury is tainted and the defendant is deprived of his rights, constitutional and otherwise.
At this juncture the defendant, although potentially innocent of the charges levied against him by HOLMAN, nevertheless enters a guilty plea out of fear that he may be punished beyond the limits of the law if he should exercise his right to trial by jury. Such fears, of course, are justifiable in Medina County.
Of course, a usual and customary part of the plea negotiation process involves coming to agreement as to the potential sentence to be recommended by SLEAZEBURY to COLLIER.
AND NOW FOR THE MEDINA COUNTY DOUBLE-CROSS!
After a defendant has pled guilty, with the reasonable expectation that he will be sentenced in accord with the prosecutor's agreed recommendation, the defendant appears for sentencing before COLLIER and gets slammed with a sentence to twice the time, or more, than he had expected when he entered a plea of guilty.
What has happened here is that SLEAZBURY has gone behind the back of the defendant and the defense attorney and has instructed and ordered COLLIER to impose a far greater sentence.
Although the Ohio Code of Judicial Conduct, at Canon 3, Section (B)(7) expressly forbids judges from having ex parte discussions with the prosecutor, found at http://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/LegalResources/Rules/conduct/judcond.pdf, COLLIER doesn't worry about that. COLLIER most certainly considers the Canons of Judicial Conduct as nothing more than a meaningless set of rules. After all, if COLLIER routinely violates the mandates of the United States Constitution, The Ohio State Constitution, and the United States Supreme Court, why would he be trouble by violating some canon of ethics. COLLIER's not ethical anyway.
That's how it's done in Medina County!
However, there can be an up side to all of this, depending on who you may know among the Medina County politicos, since HOLMAN decides who is indicted and punished, and what the punishment will be.
Let me pose a hypothetical.
Suppose COLLIER had a son, 26 or 27 years of age, who liked to dabble in drugs. And suppose that in August 2009 COLLIER's son was arrested in the judge's driveway by agents of the Medina County Drug Task Force in possession of one-quarter ounce of cocaine.
Now once such an arrest had been made, the agents would have contacted HOLMAN directly. Of course, since this arrested individual was the son of judge COLLIER, he couldn't be confined at the Medina County Jail for fear of retribution by other inmates. So HOLMAN could easily have instructed the agents to release the son and just let him go home.
Of course, since HOLMAN decides who is indicted and who is punished in Medina County, HOLMAN could easily strengthen his grip on COLLIER by failing to indict and punish the son. After all, if the son were indicted and punished, COLLIER would be humiliated after sending other Medina County citizens to prison at the behest of HOLMAN for very similar offenses, despite the fact that possession of one-quarter once of cocaine would be considered to be Possession with the Intent to Distribute, under the law.
So, you see, under the Medina County of injustice, administered by HOLMAN, COLLIER and others, a favored son of a favored son could easily escape indictment and punishment!
MUCH MORE TO COME ....
