CORRUPT OHIO JUDGES LIKE LAPDOG COLLIER ARE DROPPING LIKE FLIES!

It's about time!  Suddenly, a spate of corrupt Ohio judges seem to be facing some measure of justice, themselves.  They are starting to drop like flies.

From a recent article appearing in the Springfield Sun News:


SPRINGFIELD — Some say it proves he’s tough on crime while others say it provides a glimpse of a judge whose personal views interfere with his ability to follow the law.
The six-count complaint made public Tuesday accuses Clark County Common Pleas Court Judge Douglas Rastatter of judicial misconduct that includes claims that he failed to follow the law, failed to uphold the integrity of the judiciary, engaged in prejudicial conduct and acted in a manner that does not promote confidence in the judiciary.
Clark County Common Pleas Judge Doug Rastatter of Springfield, Ohio has been charged by the Disciplinary Counsel of the Ohio Supreme Court with some of the various violations in which LAPDOG MEDINA COUNTY JUDGE CHRISTOPHER COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT AND TOWN WHORE, HAS ENGAGED FOR MANY YEARS:


1)  LAPDOG COLLIER, like Ratstatter, has consistently failed to follow the law as he preserves his uncontested grip on his political appointment to the Medina County Court, compliments of CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN and the Medina County Dem party.


2)  Most certainly, LAPDOG COLLIER has failed to uphold the integrity of the judiciary.  In fact, LAPDOG COLLIER has consistently demonstrated that he lacks any scintilla of integrity.


3)  LAPDOG COLLIER daily engages in prejudicial conduct, solely for the purpose of preserving his uncontested grip on his political appointment to the Medina County Court, compliments of CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN and the Medina County Dem party. 


4)  Finally, LAPDOG COLLIER has quite clearly acted in a manner that completely destroys any confidence in the judiciary one might have otherwise had.


THE ABOVE IS JUST A SMALL LIST OF INFRACTIONS DESCRIBING THE UNETHICAL AND UNLAWFUL CONDUCT IN WHICH LAPDOG COLLIER HAS ENGAGED. 


Most certainly, WHEN LAPDOG COLLIER TAMPERS WITH "OFFICIAL" TRIAL TRANSCRIPTS, AS IN THE CASE PROFILED AT THIS BLOG, LAPDOG COLLIER engenders nothing but COMPLETE CONTEMPT for the Medina County Judiciary.


The article goes on:
The complaint includes claims that Rastatter repeatedly failed to follow the law or showed bias toward defense counsel and defendants that later led to reversals of his decisions by the 2nd District Court of Appeals.
LAPDOG COLLIER, WILL NEVER BE ACCUSED OF DISPLAYING ANY FAVORABLE TREATMENT OF DEFENDANTS IN HIS KANGAROO COURTROOM AND, LIKE RATSTATTER, HAS BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE REVERSED BY THE COURT OF APPEALS BECAUSE OF HIS DELIBERATELY ERRANT RULINGS INTENDED TO CONVICT INNOCENT MEDINA COUNTY CITIZENS.  [See prior posts at this blog, captioned LAPDOG COLLIER DOESN'T TAKE CORRECTION FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS at http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2011/08/lapdog-collier-doesnt-take-correction.html ; and 9th DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS: "(COLLIER) SHOULD NOT HAVE LET (SALISBURY) GET AWAY WITH IT!" at http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2011/09/9th-district-court-of-appeals-collier.html ]


According to the article, retired judge James Brogan commented of Ratstatter:
“If he’s disciplined, he won’t be the first judge and he won’t be the last."
JUDGE BROGAN IS CERTAINLY RIGHT ON THAT ACCOUNT.  READERS CAN BE ASSURED THAT LAPDOG MEDINA COUNTY JUDGE CHRISTOPHER COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT AND TOWN WHORE, IS MOST ASSUREDLY ON THAT LIST!

IT'S BOLOGNA LOAF FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER FOR LAPDOG COLLIER!

Now that the Thanksgiving Holiday is but one day away, most families are preparing to sit down to the tradition Thanksgiving Dinner of turkey, with all of the related epicurean delights.

Such, however, is not the case at the household of LAPDOG MEDINA COUNTY JUDGE CHRISTOPHER COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT AND TOWN WHORE.  LAPDOG COLLIER has decided to forgo the usual holiday tradition this year.

LAPDOG COLLIER WILL TREATING HIMSELF TO A HOLIDAY MEAL OF BOLOGNA LOAF THIS THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY.


While most of us are prepared to give thanks for all of the blessings that we have received this year, LAPDOG COLLIER is giving thanks:

1)  That he received a lifetime political appointment to the Medina County Bench, compliments of CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN and the Medina County Dems.


2)  That he has never had to face a Democrat opponent in a General Election, since his political appointment to the Medina County court, all compliments of CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN and the Medina County Dems.


3)  That he doesn't really have to know the law or the Rules of Evidence, since he just has to do as he's told by CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN and his criminal assistants.


4)  That he doesn't have to ponder whether he is is imposing a fair and just sentence to every defendant that he railroads, but he just imposes whatever sentence mandated to him by  CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN and his criminal assistants.

5)  That he doesn't have to worry about violating the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the State of Ohio, or the Rules of Evidence, since he can't understand all of that legalese anyway.

6) That he doesn't have to really worry about being reversed and overturned by the Ninth District Court of Appeals because all he has to do is TAMPER WITH, ALTER, AND AMEND TRIAL TRANSCRIPTS TO CHANGE THE RECORD AND ELIMINATE APPELLATE ISSUES AND HIS PROFUSE DELIBERATE "ERRORS" FROM THE RECORD.


7)  That he has a court reporter under contract who is willing to sacrifice and semblance of integrity and permit LAPDOG COLLIER TO TAMPER WITH, ALTER, AND AMEND TRIAL TRANSCRIPTS TO CHANGE THE RECORD AND ELIMINATE APPELLATE ISSUES AND HIS PROFUSE DELIBERATE "ERRORS" FROM THE RECORD.


8)   MOST OF ALL, HOWEVER, LAPDOG COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT AND TOWN WHORE, IS PARTICULARLY THANKFUL THAT HE'S NOT YET BEEN INDICTED BY THE FEDERAL GRAND JURY FOR HIS CRIMES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO TAMPERING WITH, ALTERING, AND AMENDING THE "OFFICIAL" TRIAL TRANSCRIPT OF THE CASE BEING PROFILED AT THIS BLOG.


Now, you may ask, how does Bologna Loaf figure into LAPDOG COLLIER'S holiday repast?
The answer to that question is rally quite simple.

LAPDOG COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT AND TOWN WHORE, KNOWS FULL WELL THAT HE HAS VIOLATED THE LAW UNDER THE COLOR OF LAW.  FURTHER, LAPDOG COLLIER KNOWS FULL WELL THAT HE HAS BEEN CAUGHT RED-HANDED TAMPERING WITH THE TRIAL TRANSCRIPT!


LAPDOG COLLIER ALSO KNOWS FULL WELL THAT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL HE WILL BE INDICTED BY A FEDERAL GRAND JURY FOR HIS CRIMES, TRIED, AND CONVICTED IN UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT.


ONCE SAFELY BEHIND PRISON WALLS, LAPDOG COLLIER WILL BE TREATED TO BOLOGNA LOAF FOR THANKSGIVING DINNERS IN THE FUTURE, COMPLIMENTS OF THE U.S. BUREAU OF PRISONS.


LAPDOG COLLIER IS HAVING BOLOGNA LOAF FOR DINNER THIS YEAR IN ANTICIPATION OF THE INVOLUNTARY THANKSGIVING DINNERS HE WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO IN FUTURE YEARS, AT TAXPAYERS' EXPENSE!

LAPDOG COLLIER FINDS HOLIDAY SHOPPING A NIGHTMARE!

As the Holiday Seasons approaches, LAPDOG MEDINA JUDGE CHRISTOPHER COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT AND TOWN WHORE, has found that holiday shopping has been quite upsetting for him.

Reports have been received that LAPDOG COLLIER has been quite upset over all of the tamper-proof packaging he has found in the store of many of the local merchants.

LAPDOG COLLIER is quoted as saying to one bewildered clerk, "What's the matter?   Don't they trust me?"

The unequivocal answer to that question is, NO, LAPDOG COLLIER CANNOT BE TRUSTED IN EVEN THE MOST MINOR OF MATTERS!


GIVEN THE FACT THAT LAPDOG COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT AND TOWN WHORE, HAS TAMPERED WITH THE "OFFICIAL" TRANSCRIPT OF THE PROCEEDINGS IN THE CASE BEING PROFILED AT THIS BLOG, AND LIKELY MANY MORE, IT WOULD BE WISE TO AVOID ANY OF THE SHOPS THAT LAPDOG COLLIER IS KNOWN TO FREQUENT.


NOTWITHSTANDING THOSE STANDARD PRODUCT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, LAPDOG COLLIER WILL FIND A WAY AROUND THEM, JUST LIKE HE'S FOUND AN UNLAWFUL WAY TO DEFEAT  THE APPEALS OF THOSE INNOCENT CITIZENS WHOM HE HAS WRONGLY CONVICTED AND RAILROADED, BY TAMPERING WITH TRIAL TRANSCRIPTS!


THIS IS A SUPERB REASON THAT COMPELS AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION OF THE MEDINA COUNTY COURTS BY THE CRIMINAL DIVISION OF THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE!

ANOTHER UNOPPOSED JUDGE WINS ELECTION IN A LANDSLIDE!

Now that the polls have long since closed and the election result announced, it has been confirmed that WADSWORTH MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE STEVEN McILVAINE HAS WON RE-ELECTION IN A LANDSLIDE.


HOWEVER, IN THE USUAL AND CUSTOMARY MEDINA COUNTY FASHION, McILVAINE "RAN" UNOPPOSED.


Readers may recall that McILVAINE, who is an instructor at the Ohio Judicial College, teaches newby judges since he is a self-proclaimed "expert" in matters involving the initial appearances of defendants in court.

the one glaring problem, however, is that McILVAINE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT HE'S DOING.


McILVAINE has demonstrated that he has no knowledge of and respect for the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution nor Rule 3 of the Ohio Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Readers may recall that McILVAINE permits Keystone Deputies from the Medina County Sheriff's Office to issue their own arrest warrants based upon unsworn and  constitutionally defective criminal complaints.


As most readers are surely aware, although McILVAINE is obviously oblivious, the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution requires, "No warrant shall issue but upon probable cause supported by oath or affirmation."


This little bit of long-overlooked mandate of the law requires that law enforcement officers, when framing a criminal complaint, set out a statement of facts, particularly describing the alleged conduct of a suspect.

McILVAINE simply ignores that Constitutional Mandate as he regularly and routinely accepts for filing  criminal complaints without the requisite statement of essential facts.  [ See prior posts at this blog, captioned, WADSWORTH MUNICIPAL COURT, WHERE THE FLAWED PROCESS BEGINS, found at http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2010/10/wadsworth-municipal-court-where-flawed.html ; and 

A TYPICAL DEFECTIVE MEDINA COUNTY CRIMINAL COMPLAINT, found at http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2010/10/typical-defective-medina-county.html ; and also WHAT YOU WON'T FIND IN MEDINA COUNTY COURTS: A PROPER CRIMINAL COMPLAINT, found at http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2010/10/what-you-wont-find-in-medina-county.html ]



McILVAINE will now subject the Citizens of Medina County to more of the same for another term, all thanks to the Medina County politicos who deliberately deprive the citizens of their right to choose their "elected" officials.


THIS IS JUST ONE MORE REASON FOR INTERVENTION BY THE CRIMINAL DIVISION OF THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE!

CAN LAPDOG COLLIER TAKE A HINT FROM ANOTHER CORRUPT JUDGE ?

The following is a recent headline taken from the online edition of  The Athens NEWS:



Meigs judge cites health reasons for exit, despite high court probe


The article goes on to report that the less-than-honorable Fred Crow, a corrupt judge from Meigs County has announced his "retirement" for "health reasons' following the disclosure that he is being investigated by the Disciplinary Commission of the Ohio State Supreme Court.

While the article does not provide any information as to the basis of the Supreme Court Investigation, there is as suggestion the Crow may have been involved with certain matters leading to financial irregularities.  The entire article can be found at http://www.athensnews.com/ohio/article-35344-meigs-judge-cites-health-reasons-for-exit-despite-high-court-probe.html

There is  currently no publicly available information that Crow violated the law, unlike LAPDOG MEDINA JUDGE CHRISTOPHER COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT AND TOWN WHORE.

There is no publicly available information the Crow deliberately withheld exculpatory evidence from defendants, which is a crime, unlike LAPDOG COLLIER, WHO INTENTIONALLY WITHHELD EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE SPECIFICALLY DEMANDED BY THIS DEFENDANT AT TRIAL.  COLLIER'S CONDUCT IN THAT REGARD CONSTITUTES A FELONY OFFENSE,
SPECIFICALLY TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE, A FELONY OF THE THIRD DEGREE.

There is no publicly available information that Crow tampered with a trial transcript, which is also a crime, unlike LAPDOG  MEDINA JUDGE CHRISTOPHER COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT AND TOWN WHORE, WHO TAMPERED WITH, ALTERED, AND AMENDED THE TRIAL TRANSCRIPT IN THE MATTER BEING PROFILED AT THIS BLOG.  THAT CONDUCT BY LAPDOG COLLIER CONSTITUTES THE OFFENSE OF TAMPERING WITH RECORDS, ALSO A FELONY OF THE THIRD DEGREE!  [ See prior posts at this blog, captioned 

LAPDOG COLLIER TRIED TO CONCEAL HIS UNLAWFUL CONDUCT AND BIASED RULINGS FROM THE 9TH DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS, found at  http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2011/10/lapdog-collier-tried-to-conceal-his.html ; and also JUST HOW MANY TRIAL TRANSCRIPTS HAVE LAPDOG JUDGE COLLIER & HIS CRONIES TAMPERED WITH AND CHANGED OVER THE YEARS?, found at http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2011/10/just-how-many-trial-transcripts-have.html ]


It has been noted that following the public disclosure at this blog that LAPDOG COLLIER HAD TAMPERED WITH THE TRIAL TRANSCRIPT, he kept a very low profile and appears to have lost a significant amount of weight.  Readers can be assured that LAPDOG COLLIER'S weight loss is not attributable to diet and exercise.   [See prior post at this blog, captioned 

LAPDOG COLLIER IS BACK & RAILROADING MORE INNOCENT CITIZENS AT THE MEDINA COUNTY COURTHOUSE/MOSQUE & RAILROAD STATION, found at http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2011/10/lapdog-collier-is-back-railroading-more.html ; and CHIEF JUSTICE OF SUPREME COURT VISITS THE MEDINA COUNTY COURTHOUSE/MOSQUE & RAILROAD STATION found at http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2011/10/chief-justice-of-supreme-court-visits.html ]


SIMPLY PUT, COLLIER HAS BEEN CAUGHT RED-HANDED !!!

The question which now remains unanswered is PRECISELY WHEN WILL LAPDOG COLLIER RESIGN FOR "HEALTH" REASONS?

WILL LAPDOG COLLIER RESIGN AS A RESULT OF THE INVESTIGATION CONDUCTED BY THE DISCIPLINARY COMMISSION OF THE OHIO SUPREME COURT? [ See prior post, captioned OHIO SUPREME COURT TO PROBE COLLIER, HOLMAN, SALISBURY IN INVESTIGATION OF CORRUPTION IN MEDINA COUNTY COURTS, found at http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2011/03/ohio-supreme-court-to-probe-collier.html ]

OR WILL LAPDOG COLLIER HOLD ON AND RIDE IT OUT UNTIL HE IS INDICTED BY A FEDERAL GRAND JURY?

COLLIER MIGHT JUST WANT TO TAKE A HINT FROM CROW AND RESIGN SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.  IF HE DOES SO NOW, HE'LL BE EATING A LOT LESS CROW LATER!

WHO WILL HOLMAN ATTEMPT TO BRIBE NEXT?

As regular readers of this blog will recall, the Honorable Judge Brown was appointed to hear the Petition for Post-Conviction Relief in the matter of the case being profiled here at this blog.

Regular readers will recall that, after the Petitioner's Counsel filed an affidavit of disqualification of LAPDOG JUDGE COLLIER and drew the attention of the Chief Justice the level of corruption manifested by LAPDOG COLLIER, LAPDOG COLLIER HAD AN  EPIPHANY AND RECUSED HIMSELF "TO AVOID THE APPEARANCE OF ANY (FURTHER) IMPROPRIETY."


Thereafter, the Chief Justice appointed the Honorable Judge Brown to hear and decide the Petition.

On September 8, 2011, Judge Brown held a status conference, at the conclusion of which SCOTT SALISBURY, THE PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, ATTEMPTED TO BRIBE JUDGE BROWN, ON THE RECORD.


Judge Brown, understandably insulted by SALISBURY's attempt at bribery, responded by informing SALISBURY that his misconduct in the Stave v Johnson matter PALED BY COMPARISON TO SALISBURY'S MISCONDUCT IN THE MATTER OF THIS PETITIONER, PRESENTLY BEFORE HIM.


Realizing the the Honorable Judge Brown had no difficulty in perceiving the misconduct of his office, CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN directed one of his newby attorneys to DRIVE  TO COLUMBUS TO FILE AN AFFIDAVIT OF DISQUALIFICATION AGAINST THE HONORABLE JUDGE BROWN ON THE VERY DAY BEFORE THE NEXT SCHEDULED HEARING.


CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN, WHO ENDORSES AND PROMOTES, AND REWARD MISCONDUCT AMONG HIS EMPLOYEES, JUST COULDN'T STAND THE FACT THAT JUDGE BROWN WAS AN HONEST MAN WHO COULD NOT BE BRIBED, IN THE NORMAL FASHION OF THE MEDINA COUNTY COURTS.


So as not to be tainted in any fashion by his association with CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN AND CORRUPT LAPDOG JUDGE COLLIER, the Honorable Judge Brown stepped aside in order to permit another judge to deal with the corruption endemic in the Medina County Court.


The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has yet to appoint another judge.

The Ultimate question which now remains is: JUST WHO WILL BE THE NEXT APPOINTED JUDGE THAT HOLMAN WILL ATTEMPT TO BRIBE?

CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DEAN HOLMAN PREPARES TO PROSECUTE HIS OWN CO-DEFENDANT!

In another PERFECT EXAMPLE OF PUBLIC CORRUPTION DEMONSTRATED BY CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN, HOLMAN is now prepared to do another favor for his best bud, ERIE COUNTY PROSECUTOR KEVIN BAXTER, and prosecutor Mark Volz, HOLMAN'S co-defendant in a prior civil lawsuit, filed in Federal Court.

According to an online article published by the Sandusky Register, found at http://www.sanduskyregister.com/news/2011/jul/12/voltzrape71211aoxml , Mark Volz, the Director of the Erie County Jobs and Family Services, has been charged with the rape of a 26 year-old woman.

According to the article, CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN has been appointed as Special Prosecutor by his best bud, ERIE COUNTY PROSECUTOR KEVIN BAXTER.


Regular readers of this blog may recall that CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN had also been appointed as a "Special Prosecutor" by BAXTER to prosecute Ms. Krista Harris, BAXTER'S SEX SLAVE!


Readers may wish to refresh about that matter by referring to a prior post at this blog, captioned

HOLMAN IMPLICATED IN MALICIOUS PROSECUTION OF HIS BEST BUD'S SEX SLAVE!, found at http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2010/12/holman-implicated-in-malicious.html .


One cannot help but wonder whether the woman allegedly raped by Volz was another of BAXTER'S SEX SLAVES!

It seems as though Ms. Harris had filed a civil lawsuit in U.S. District Court, naming CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN and MARK VOLZ as defendants.

Some of the reader comments posted at the Sandusky Register in response to the above-cited article are both relevant and interesting, some of which are excerpted below:

Erieman_52 says

When he has to recuse himself, Baxter has been sending cases to Dean Holman in Medina County for at least 15 years. The only time he hasn't is a couple of times when the law enforcement agencies involved have threatened to go public with their strong objections to this cozy relationship. Having Holman take over a prosecution is no different than having Baxter himself do it as the two are very close. It would be interesting to know exactly how many times Holman has filled in for Baxter and Baxter for Holman in Medina County. It is way beyond time that the Sandusky Register do some real investigative journalism and look into this matter. I am sure there are many police, fire, and other officials who would tell their stories about cases that Holman has been asked to handle (especially if they could speak "off the record"). This particular case reeks of impropriety (based on some of the other comments here on past relations between the accused and Holman). If Baxter REALLY wanted to insure that this was totally above question and unbiased, he should have talked to the Cuyahoga or Lucas County Prosecutors and asked for one of their experienced assistant prosecutors to be sent here.
And this
West says
Mark Volz has worked very closely with Dean Holman on several high profile cases including the sham theft case against Ms, Krista Harris and the case involving the young girl who was raped by a Sandusky Police officer while on duty.
Furthermore, court records show that Krista Harris sued Mark Volz and Dean Holman in federal court for setting her up on sham charges.

HOLMAN IS VERY GOOD AT FILING SHAM CHARGES AND FRAMING INNOCENT CITIZENS, INDEED!


Now. HOLMAN is prepared to act as a "Special Prosecutor" for his best bud BAXTER, and prosecute his own co-defendant in a civil action!

YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS TRULY NO HONOR AMONG THIEVES!

IT CERTAINLY SEEMS REASONABLE, UNDER THE TOTALITY OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THAT A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR SHOULD BE APPOINTED TO INVESTIGATE "SPECIAL PROSECUTOR" DINO HOLMAN, THE CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR.

THE CRIMINAL DIVISION OF THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CAN FILL THAT ROLE NICELY!
