DINO HOLMAN HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF CORRUPT ACTIVITY IN THE PAST!

Interestingly, it appears that corrupt Medina County prosecutor DEAN HOLMAN has been around the block a time or two in the past.

If you follow this link to the Sandusky Register, found at http://www.sanduskyregister.com/cleveland/2010/sep/15/former-dem-chairman-cleveland-indicted?page=1  you will find the text of a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.  Cited immediately below is but one paragraph from the lawsuit, alleging unspecified corrupt activity by Medina County prosecutor DEAN HOLMAN.  Not much of a surprise at this end!

59. In late December 2001, Plaintiff learned from African American Krista Harris then 27years old that she had been kept as a sex slave for about four years by Defendant Kevin Baxter starting when she was 20 years old under threat of false criminal charges, and forced to provide perjured testimony in the murder cases of three African American males in order that Defendant Baxtercould obtain tainted convictions and wrest control of key drug trafficking interests from African American gangs over to the organized crime interests Defendant Baxter protects to this day. Ms. Harris provided Plaintiff with her affidavit filed in Erie County Common Pleas Court in support of a Motion to Appoint a Special prosecutor to investigate Defendant Baxter and yet another illegally appointed special prosecutor Dean Holman of Medina County for corrupt activity.  The Affidavit also reported Defendant Baxter’s drug abuse, and theft of public resources to provide a love nest in Cleveland Ohio.  Ms. Krista Harris was interviewed by BCI SA Rex Russell as part of his investigation of Defendant Baxter.  However to this day, Defendant Maschari has failed to appoint a special prosecutor despite three additional later filed Motions reporting probate fraud crimes and other crimes committed by Defendant Baxter, so that law enforcement has no prosecutor to present its case on behalf of the people of Ohio.
    
    YOU WON'T SEE ANYTHING LIKE THIS PRINTED IN GEORGE SPUDNUTT'S MEDINA GAZETTE!

A TYPICAL CASE OF HOLMAN HIDING THE EVIDENCE!

Unless you might imagine that the concealment of favorable evidence from the defense is a recent phenomenon, you may wish to look to the tragic 1997 case of Audrey Iacona and the death of her premature baby boy.  
Following is a quote from an online article about those criminal proceedings:
``Since February 23, 1998, when she filed her motion for a new trial,'' Holman writes, ``(Iacona) has advanced an elaborate conspiracy theory which alleges that the Medina County prosecutor and his assistant prosecutors were so intent on convicting her at trial that -- with the full cooperation of the Cuyahoga County coroner and her deputy coroners, the Summit County medical examiner, the Medina County coroner, Dr. (Mark) Collin and Dr. (Paul) Gatewood -- they deliberately withheld or concealed the . . . blood culture report of Baby Boy Iacona from the defense.'
You can read the full account of this event at http://www.angelfire.com/mt/bevspage/page24.html
Interestingly, and typical of HOLMAN's character, he tries to excuse his misconduct and spread the blame, as you will note in the text quoted from his brief (above).  As a matter of law, it is the legal obligation of the prosecutor to disclose favorable evidence to the defendant.  Coroners and medical examiners have specific roles that do not include providing discovery to an accused. 
THE LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE DISCOVERY TO THE ACCUSED ATTACHES TO THE PROSECUTOR, AND TO THE PROSECUTOR ALONE.
Policies and practices have not changed in HOLMAN's office since the trial of Audrey Iacona.  HOLMAN's criminal assistants continue to hide favorable evidence from defendants, aided and abetted by COLLIER, as you will further learn at this blog.
Personally, I have little doubt that the Sheriff's Office conducted an illegal search of the Iacona residence.  Obtaining a proper search warrant is so much work, and besides the concept of probable cause and adherence to the FOURTH AMENDMENT is well beyond the level of their comprehension and their level of "expertise."
Then again, why should sheriff's deputies worry about carrying out their duties in compliance with the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution?  The Medina County courts have been ignoring that Amendment for years, as has already been shown.
Moreover, I have absolutely no doubt that HOLMAN and his criminal assistants were so intent on convicting Ms. Iacona that they hid the evidence from Audrey Iocona's  attorneys.  It's how they do what they do, down to the present day.
HOLMAN IS SO INTENT ON PRESERVING HIS TARNISHED 98% RATE OF CONVICTION, HE IS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO CONVICT A DEFENDANT, INCLUDING HIDING EVIDENCE AND ENDORSING THE UNETHICAL AND UNLAWFUL CONDUCT OF HIS CRIMINAL ASSISTANTS.
Just ask Audrey Iacona's attorneys!
MOREOVER, I'VE BEEN THERE AND SEEN THAT, FIRSTHAND!
However, and not surprisingly, HOLMAN and SALISBURY have added a new wrinkle.  They now rely on corrupt judge CHRISTOPHER COLLIER to aid them in their unlawful concealment of evdidence favorable to the defendant.  
I'VE BEEN THERE AND SEEN THAT, TOO!
In the eyes of the REAL LAW, outside Medina County, that makes COLLIER a criminal accomplice.
YOU CAN BE SURE THAT IF HOLMAN AND SALISBURY MANUFACTURE "EVIDENCE," AS SHOWN TWO DAYS AGO AT THIS BLOG, YOU CAN REST ASSURED THAT THEY HIDE FAVORABLE EVIDENCE FROM A DEFENDANT, AIDED AND ABETTED BY TOTALLY CORRUPT MEDINA JUDGE COLLIER!
The specific offense for Aiding and Abetting a criminal offense, otherwise known as COMPLICITY, can be found at Section 2923.03 of the Ohio Revised Code.
Just more evidence that Medina County needs a criminal investigation conducted by the United States Department of Justice.

judge CHRISTOPHER COLLIER: THE CASE FIXER

Corrupt judges have scarred the landscape of American jurisprudence for the past 200 years.  Chicago is a classic example, where public corruption involving judges and police is legendary.  Chicago, however, is not alone in that regard.

Some years  ago in Cleveland, some outlaw bikers planted a bomb at the house of a rival gang member.  However, they placed the device at the wrong house.  When the device detonated, an innocent young husband and wife, and their two year old son were killed.  The offenders were identified, arrested and indicted.

The case was assigned to Judge James McGettrick in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas.  At trial, McGettrick threw the case out, relieving the defendants of any future criminal liability since double jeopardy attaches once a jury is impaneled.

Many years later, while drinking at a bar in Lakewood, Judge McGettrick bumped into an undercover agent, a personal friend of mine, and mistook the agent for one of the bikers.  The agent sarcastically remarked to McGetrtrick, "we really appreciate what you did for us in that murder case."  McGettrick, again thinking that the agent was a biker, remarked, "You still owe me $10,000.00 for that one."

The following day, the agent delivered the $10,000.00 bribe to McGettrick, who was then promptly arrested.  Ultimately, McGettrick, a crooked judge and case fixer, was convicted and sent to prison where he died.

While McGettrick fixed cases, including murder cases, for defendants in exchange for money, corrupt judge COLLIER also fixes cases, but for an equally corrupt county prosecutor, Dean Holman.

While McGettrick took money on a case-by-case basis, COLLIER benefits financially by retaining his seat on the bench of the Medina County Court of Common Pleas, unopposed by any Dem opponent as long he is subservient to HOLMAN.  COLLIER continues to take home his paycheck, receives his benefits, including retirement benefits. This has turned out to be a better deal for COLLIER than the deal made by McGettrick.

NEVERTHELESS, A BRIBE IS A BRIBE, IN WHATEVER FORM TAKEN AND RECEIVED!

How, might you ask, does COLLIER fix cases for the prosecutor?  It's really quite simple, really.  Here are but a very few of the ways COLLIER fixes cases.

COLLIER does not enforce the Rules of Evidence and Criminal Procedure against the prosecutor.  Quite simply, the prosecutor does as he damn well pleases  and COLLIER just sits back and lets the good times roll.

Then there is the matter of the voire dire.  That is the jury selection process where attorneys are permitted to ask questions of prospective jurors.  COLLIER permits the prosecutor, over defense objections, to explain the prosecutor's version of the law, which you can be sure is not consistent with the law as should be explained to jurors in jury instructions at the end of the trial by the judge.  This misconduct by the prosecutor, permitted and condoned by COLLIER, is intended to bias the jury against the defendant from the very outset of the trial.

Of course, there is always the matter of suppression.  Suppression is a procedure wherein the defendant moves to suppress, or strike, evidence that was illegally seized by the police.  The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees that every citizen will be secure from intrusion by the state.  The U.S. Supreme Court, in a landmark decision, Mapp v. Ohio, ruled that illegally seized evidence cannot be admitted at trial against a defendant.  The Supreme Court characterized such illegally seized evidence, and evidence flowing therefrom, as "fruits of the poisonous tree."


COLLIER completely disregards these bulwarks of your constitutional protections and admits illegally seized evidence at trial, again in favor of the prosecutor.


As most people are aware, the state presents its witness first.  The prosecutor is permitted to first examine his witness on direct examination.  The defense attorney is then permitted to cross-examine the state's witnesses.  Here, COLLIER gives the prosecutor a bonanza.  


The rules of evidence permit a defense attorney to examine a state's witness on matters involving bias against the defendant.  In other words, the rules of evidence permit the defense attorney to explore whether the witness has an ax to grind witht the defendant.  COLLIER prevents the defense attorney from examining the state's witnesses for bias, effectively emasculating the defendant's right of cross-examination.  COLLIER does not wish to imperil the state's case by examining witness bias.


One of the most ingenious techniques, employed by COLLIER  during trial, is his personal demeanor before the jury.  Most jurors, because of their inexperience look at the judge as the god of the courtroom, as COLLIER well knows. Accordingly, when the defense attorney is examining witnesses, COLLIER rolls his eyes, stares up at the ceiling, gazes out the window, and places his head on the bench as if napping.  While this conduct is not reflected in the trial record, as COLLIER well knows, his conduct is intended to influence the jury and bias the jury against the defendant.


In all, A BLACK MAN IN A 1950'S COURTROOM IN MISSISSIPPI HAD A BETTER CHANCE OF RECEIVING A FAIR TRIAL THAN DOES ANY DEFENDANT APPEARING BEFORE COLLIER IN THE MEDINA COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, WHO CANNOT EXPECT TO RECEIVE ANYTHING BUT BACKWOODS "JUSTICE"!

LAPDOG MEDINA JUDGE COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT & TOWN WHORE, PANDERS TO THE PUBLIC

The blogger came across his rather amusing web page expressing the limited views of LAPDOG JUDGE COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT & TOWN WHORE:
http://medlawlib.org/judgecollier/about_court.htm

This is rather an interesting read and validates the very real proposition the LAPDOG COLLIER is indeed the VILLAGE IDIOT & TOWN WHORE!

Here is but one excerpt from LAPDOG COLLIER'S self-serving explanation of his role as a judge:

"Our system of justice ensures that anyone can come into a court of law and have his or her dispute heard and resolved by a jury comprised of Medina County citizens. The trial judge makes sure that the rules governing a trial are followed and that the proceeding is fair."

LAPDOG COLLIER is obviously referring to the American system of justice, generally, and is clearly not speaking of the reality of the Medina County Courts, where citizens are deprived of their constitutional protections and the Rule of Law.


Actually, "the trial judge (SHOULD) make sure that the rules governing a trial are followed...."
One of LAPDOG COLLIER'S many failings is that he has refused to follow the Ohio Rules of Evidence and Criminal Procedure in the very trial being profiled here at the blog.


The reader may wish to review a prior post at this blog, addressing the very manner in which LAPDOG COLLIER enforces "the rules governing a trial" at http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2010/12/collier-philosophy-all-those-pesky.html


Here are a few, but not all, of the Rules that LAPDOG COLLIER violated at "trial":

Criminal Procedure Rule   1 : Scope of Rules: Applicability, etc.

Criminal Procedure Rule   3 : Complaint

Criminal Procedure Rule   4 : Warrant or Summons; Arrest

Criminal Procedure Rule   6 : Grand Jury

Criminal Procedure Rule   7 : The Indictment and the Information

Criminal Procedure Rule 12 :  Pleadings and Motions Before Trial

Criminal Procedure Rule 16 :  Discovery and Inspection

Criminal Procedure Rule 29 : Motion for Acquittal

Criminal Procedure Rule 30 : Instructions

Criminal Procedure Rule 31 : Verdict

Criminal Procedure Rule 33 : New Trial

Criminal Procedure Rule 46 : Bail

Evidence Rule 101  : Scope of Rules; Applicability, etc.

Evidence Rule 103  : Rulings on Evidence

Evidence Rule 401  : Relevant Evidence

Evidence Rule 402  : Relevant Evidence Generally Admissible, etc.

Evidence Rule 403  : Exclusion of Relevant Evidence on Grounds of Prejudice….

Evidence Rule 404  : Character Evidence not Admissible to Prove Conduct, etc.

Evidence Rule 501  : Privileges: General Rule

Evidence Rule 601  : General Rule of Competency (of witnesses)

Evidence Rule 601(B) : Spouse Testifying

Evidence Rule 602  : Lack of Personal Knowledge

Evidence Rule 605  : Competency of Judge as Witness

Evidence Rule 607  : Impeachment

Evidence Rule 609  : Impeachment by Evidence of Conviction of Crime

Evidence Rule 611  : Mode and Order of Interrogation and Presentation

Evidence Rule 615  : Separation and Exclusion of Witnesses

Evidence Rule 616  : Methods of Impeachment

Evidence Rule 704  : Opinion on Ultimate Issue

         Further, COLLIER violated the following provisions of the Ohio Code of Judicial Conduct:

Canon 1:

         Rule 1.1      Compliance with the law

         Rule 1.2      Promoting Confidence in the Judiciary

Canon 2:

         Rule 2.2      Impartiality and Fairness

         Rule 2.3 (A), (B), C)  Bias, Prejudice, and Harassment

         Rule 2.4 (B), (C)  External Influences on Judicial Conduct

         Rule 2.5 (A) Competence, Diligence, and Cooperation

         Rule 2.6 (A) Ensuring the Right to be Heard

         Rule 2.8 (A), (B)  Decorum, Demeanor, and Communication with Jurors

         Rule 2.9 (A), (B)  Ex Parte Contacts

         Rule 2.10 (B)  Judicial Statements on Pending Cases

         Rule 2.15 (B)  Responding to Lawyer Misconduct

There is no question the LAPDOG COLLIER FAILED TO ENFORCE THE RULES IN THE TRIAL PROFILED HERE AT THE BLOG.

When LAPDOG COLLIER professes that he  has the responsibility to ensure that the "proceeding is fair," he's obviously referring to the MEDINA COUNTY FAIR, since a "trial" before LAPDOG COLLIER most closely resembles a CIRCUS SIDESHOW.


THESE ARE A FEW MORE REASONS THAT MEDINA COUNTY NEEDS AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION OF ITS COURTS CONDUCTED BY THE CRIMINAL DIVISION OF THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE!


MUCH MORE TO COME ....

LAPDOG MEDINA JUDGE CHRISTOPHER COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT AND TOWN WHORE, CAN TAKE A LESSON FROM A REAL AND HONEST JUDGE!

LAPDOG MEDINA JUDGE CHRISTOPHER COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT AND TOWN WHORE, CAN TAKE A LESSON FROM AN HONEST JUDGE, WHO ENFORCES THE RULES OF EVIDENCE!


In a trial conducted in the U.S. District Court for the District of Washington, FEDERAL JUDGE REGGIE WALTON, AN HONEST AND KNOWLEDGEABLE JUDGE, unlike LAPDOG JUDGE COLLIER, declared a mistrial in the prosecution of former Yankee pitcher Roger Clemens.

In a scathing criticism of prosecutors, Judge Walton remarked that the prosecutors violated the Rules of Evidence by introducing inadmissible evidence before the jury, A REGULAR OCCURRENCE IN THE KANGAROO COURTROOM OF LAPDOG JUDGE COLLIER, WHO PERMITS ASS. PROSECUTOR SCOTT SALISBURY, THE PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, TO DO THAT VERY THING WITH IMPUNITY.


Just what did the Federal prosecutors do?  Well, they presented evidence to the jury that, prior to trial, they assured the Judge that they had not intention to bring forward.  RING A BELL?


An article concerning the actions of prosecutors and the comments of Judge Walton can be found at:
http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/Judge-declares-mistrial-in-Roger-Clemens-steroid-perjury-case-071411/?gt1=39002


YOU MAY RECALL THAT SALISBURY, THE PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, ASSURED DEFENSE COUNSEL IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO TRIAL THAT HE HAD NO INTENTION OF INTRODUCING INADMISSIBLE FORBIDDEN "OTHER ACTS" EVIDENCE AT TRIAL.


HOWEVER, BEING THE PATHOLOGICAL LIAR THAT HE IS, SALISBURY INTRODUCED SUCH FORBIDDEN EVIDENCE THROUGH HIS FIRST WITNESS, THE DEFENDANT'S WIFE, WHO HAD ASSERTED HER SPOUSAL PRIVILEGE REPEATEDLY.


LAPDOG COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT AND TOWN WHORE, JUST SMILED AND LET THE FORBIDDEN EVIDENCE COME BEFORE THE JURY, ALL WITH A WINK AND A NOD TO SALISBURY, THE PATHOLOGICAL LIAR.


LAPDOG COLLIER SHOULD HAVE DONE IMMEDIATELY WHAT AN HONEST JUDGE LIKE JUDGE WALTON DID: DECLARE A MISTRIAL!


Judge Walton remarked, "I think that a first-year law student would know that you can't bolster the credibility of one witness with clearly inadmissible evidence."


How about that!  Based on Judge Walton's commentary, it is obvious that LAPDOG JUDGE COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT AND TOWN WHORE, AND SALISBURY, THE PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, DON'T POSSES THE KNOWLEDGE EXPECTED OF FIRST-YEAR LAW STUDENTS!


OF COURSE, LAPDOG COLLIER'S FAILURE TO RULE IN CONFORMITY WITH THE LAW, AS WOULD A FIRST-YEAR LAW STUDENT, DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT THE ONLY WAY THAT LAPDOG COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT AND TOWN WHORE, CAN PRESERVE HIS LIFETIME UNCONTESTED APPOINTMENT TO THE MEDINA COUNTY COURT IS TO BOW TO DINO HOLMAN, COLLIER'S PUPPET MASTER, AND RULE IN FAVOR OF SALISBURY, THE PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, NO MATTER THE LAW AND THE RULES OF EVIDENCE.

GEORGE SPUDNUTTS, OWNER OF THE MEDINA GASETTE, BUSTED!

A regular reader of this blog reports that George Spudnutts, publisher of the Medina Gasette, has been charged with DUI  by police in Avon Lake, Ohio.


It is somewhat surprising that the Medina Gasette, the official oracle of the Medina County Chamber of Commerce, chose to print an article announcing Spudnutts' arrest.


The "news" article can be found at this link:  http://medinagazette.northcoastnow.com/2011/02/10/gazette-publisher-faces-charge-of-drunken-driving

Further, the docket concerning Spudnutts' arrest can be found at the website of the Clerk of the Avon Lake Municipal Court at http://www.avonlakecourt.com/cgi-bin/mcaseno.cgi?pre=TRC&num=1100123&sub=A&type=TR&acc=

Hats off to the arresting officer for a job well done!

Had Spudnutts' been charged in Medina County, it is likely that CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN could have intervened to make sure the case was washed.

All one need to do to confirm that suspicion is to look at the matter involving DEMOCRAT POLITICIAN SAM SCAFFIDE, former Brunswick Service Director and Twinsburg City Councilman, who, according to an informed source, was terminated by the City of Brunswick for misappropriation of funds and was never prosecuted by FELLOW CORRUPT DEMOCRAT AND MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN.


Of course, it's always possible that HOLMAN can place a phone call to Avon Lake and call in a favor to get Spudnutts off the hook.


All it takes is a phone call.  After all, all it took for SCAFFIDE to get the job as the Brunswick Service Director was a phone call from Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora who is currently under Federal indictment for his role in the public corruption in Cuyahoga County.


The blogger extends his thanks and appreciation to the reader who furnished this information in the public interest.

CORRUPT COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN CUT A SWEETHEART DEAL WITH ANOTHER MEDINA POLITICIAN

CORRUPT POLITICIANS PERPETUATE CORRUPTION AND BREED OTHER CORRUPT POLITICIANS! HERE'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE:

A faithful reader of this blog has forwarded information to the blog concerning ANOTHER CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY POLITICIAN, COUNTY TREASURER JOHN BURKE.

The reader has forwarded the following links, which may be of interest to the reader:
http://www.topix.com/forum/city/medina-oh/TU1A4GEB15UP53COM

http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2008/01/medina_county_propertytax_dead.html

http://medina.jupitersales.com/messenger/2000/1000-03.htm

If you have perused any of the material at any of the above links, you are likely to have found that BURKE seems to have evoked the public ire in years past because of his shady dealings.

In fact one reader, apparently from the venerable Medina firm of A.I. Root Co., posted the following message:

"Be very careful of Medina County Treasurer John Burke. Those who are aware of his past would certainly avoid dealing with him on financial issues."

It seems that BURKE, like HOLMAN,  has more than a few skeletons rattling around in his closet.


One particular reader comment  however, caught the eye of this blogger:

"John Burke was convicted of tax crimes, filed for personal bankruptcy and miswired half a million dollars of the library's money to a bankrupt boot company in Texas!!!!"

 The blogger also found another reader comment enlightening:

"SPENT OVER $50,000 OF OUR TAX DOLLARS to fly to HAWAII, NEW ORLEANS, MONTANA, NEW MEXICO AND MORE. You've got to be kidding me. Say bye-bye Burke."

I'll bet BURKE learned an awful lot about managing Medina County finances in Hawaii, New Orleans, Montana, New Mexico, and more, all on the taxpayers' tab.


The representation that BURKE was convicted of tax crimes was particularly intriguing to the blogger, who decided that it might be a good idea to check the records at the website of the Medina County Clerk of Court.  WHAT AN INTERESTING TURN OF EVENTS ARE REVEALED THERE!!!


Under Criminal Docket No. 97CR0183, found at http://www.co.medina.oh.us/medct_epublicnodr/pages/DetailForm.aspx?case=97CR0183  , the file discloses that BURKE was indicted by the Medina County grand jury on July 1, 1997 on SIX FELONY COUNTS OF FILING FALSE TAX RETURNS.


BURKE'S FELONY INDICTMENT is not publicly displayed at the Clerk's website, for all the obvious reasons to be found in a corrupt "criminal justice" system.


The blogger, therefore, can only speculate that BURKE had been indicted for violations of Section 5747.19 of the Ohio Revised Code, if only for HOLMAN to falsely portray to the public that he was dealing with the dishonesty of another CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY POLITICIAN.


Here's the l aw:


747.19 Filing incomplete, false, and fraudulent returns.

No person shall knowingly fail to file any return or report required to be filed by this chapter, or file or knowingly cause to be filed any incomplete, false, or fraudulent return, report, or statement, or aid or abet another in the filing of any false or fraudulent return, report, or statement.

Effective Date: 12-20-1971

5747.99 Penalty.

(A) Whoever violates section 5747.19 of the Revised Code, or whoever violates section 5747.06 or 5747.07 of the Revised Code by failing to remit state income taxes withheld from an employee, is guilty of a felony of the fifth degree.

Of course, neither BURKE nor HOLMAN wanted to have the full facts put before a jury of voters.  So, on October 17, 1997, BURKE waived trial by jury.

Then, surprise of surprises, on November 10, 1997, BURKE'S INDICTMENT WAS DISMISSED UPON MOTION BY HOLMAN!

Lest justice be recognizably denied, at least for appearance sake, on October 20, 1997, HOLMAN filed a MISDEMEANOR BILL OF INFORMATION CHARGING BURKE WITH DUTY OF AGENTS TO REPORT AND TESTIFY, IN VIOLATION OF SECTION 5703.43 OF THE OHIO REVISED CODE! You can find the docket at http://www.co.medina.oh.us/medct_epublicnodr/pages/DetailForm.aspx?case=97CR0332

Here's the statute with which BURKE was then charged:

5703.43 Duty of agents to report and testify.

No officer, agent, or employee of any public utility, company, firm, person, partnership, corporation, or association, subject to any law which the tax commissioner is required to administer shall fail to fill out and return any blanks required by such law, fail to answer any questions therein propounded, or knowingly or willfully give a false answer to any such question where the fact inquired of is within his knowledge, or fail upon proper demand to exhibit to the commissioner any book, paper, account, record, or memoranda of such public utility, which is in possession of such officer, agent, or employee or under his control.

Effective Date: 10-01-1953

Interestingly, the blogger finds no reference at all to prohibitions by a PUBLIC OFFICIAL referenced in  Section 5703.43, so that BURKE WAS CHARGED WITH A MISDEMEANOR OFFENSE FOR WHICH HE COULD NOT BE LEGALLY CHARGED, EXCEPT IN MEDINA COUNTY.

On the same date, October 20, 1997, BURKE, A PUBLIC OFFICIAL, PLED GUILTY TO 6 MISDEMEANOR COUNTS AND WAS FINED $250.00 ON EACH COUNT.

BURKE WAS NOT ORDERED TO PAY THE COUNTY RESTITUTION IN THE AMOUNT OF THE TAXES THAT HE HAD AVOIDED PAYING.

The essence of BURKE'S conduct, as best the blogger can reconstruct from available information is that BURKE Tampered with Records (a violation of law) by issuing falsified real estate tax bills to himself, reducing the amount of tax due and owing by BURKE to  MEDINA COUNTY.  The blogger's best guess is that BURKE'S criminal conduct was discovered during an audit of his office by the State of Ohio.  It is likely that state auditors turned the matter over to HOLMAN for prosecution, putting HOLMAN between a rock and a hard place.

This was the only way that CORRUPT COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN could wiggle out of this ticklish situation without disrupting the cozy love fest between Medina County politicians.


HOLMAN could have, and should have charged BURKE with THEFT IN OFFICE, using as the predicate felony offense TELECOMMUNICATIONS FRAUD, in violation of Section 2913.05 of the Ohio Revised Code.


Of course, just as in the matters of former Medina County Commissioner MARK WHITFIELD (See http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2010/12/equaler-protection-under-law-in-medina.html) and former Brunswick Service Director SAM SCAFFIDE (See http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2011/07/fix-is-in-dino-holman-wont-prosecute.html), HOLMAN did not want to forever bar BURKE from holding public office.


However, HOLMAN had no problem prosecuting the purported sex slave of his best bud, Erie County Prosector Kevin Baxter (See http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2010/12/holman-implicated-in-malicious.html AND http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2010/12/just-side-note-on-holmans-best-bud-erie.html).

GIVEN THE UNEVEN PLAYING FIELD IN THE MEDINA COUNTY COURTS, WHERE CITIZENS ARE DEPRIVED OF THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS BY HOLMAN AND LAPDOG MEDINA JUDGE COLLIER, ACTING IN CONCERT, AND WHERE POLITICIANS ARE EXEMPT FROM PROSECUTION FOR THEIR FELONY CRIMES, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE CRIMINAL DIVISION OF THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CONDUCT AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION OF THE ENTIRE MEDINA COUNTY "CRIMINAL JUSTICE" SYSTEM.
