Have you ever gone to the polls in Medina County and had to cast you vote for an unopposed candidate, for instance like corrupt Medina County judge CHRISTOPHER COLLIER?
Well, I've been recently informed that if you've cast your vote for COLLIER, you've actually cast it for CHRISTOPHER CALAVECCHIO from Euclid, Ohio. Perhaps, of course, the real name is spelled COLAVECCHIO. Then again, someone else informed me he was born CHRISTOPHER CALAFATO. No matter, I'll soon sort it out, to be sure.
The name certainly seems to have that old familiar Organized Crime ring to it, doesn't it?
I certainly recognize how elements of Organized Crime have infiltrated the criminal justice system, down through the generations, for their own nefarious purposes.
That may very well explain why "judge" CALAVECCHIO/CALAFATO has been so easily bought by DINO HOLMAN. Acting as HOLMAN's bag man seems to have come so easily to COLAVECCHIO/CALAFATO, I mean COLLIER. Either way, he's the same guy.
I've been told that CALAVECCHIO/CALAFATO changed his name to COLLIER, although I've not been provided with a reason for the name change. That matter bears further exploration.
You can be assured that I'll let you in on it when I discover what CALAVECCHIO/CALAFATO's been trying to hide for many years.
I suspect that there's more than one skeleton rattling around in that CALAVECCHIO/CALAFATO closet, maybe even a felony or two.
When "judge" CALAVECCHIO/CALAFATO was coming up, the favorite "hobbies" of this group of young Italians included Burglary, Thefts from Coin Machines, Hijacking, and Drug Sales in the old Collinwood neighborhood.
A lot of criminals, petty and otherwise, seem to have drifted from the old Colinwood neighborhood into nearby Euclid.
It will be interesting to discover just what young CHRISTOPHER CALAVECCHIO/CALAFATO was into before he changed his name to COLLIER.
Then again, what's in a name, unless you have something to hide?
You can bet you won't find this fact published at any time soon by the Medina Gazette, run by George Spudnutts who obviously runs in political circles.
THIS IS JUST ONE MORE DIRTY LITTLE SECRET REVEALED AT THIS BLOG!

THE MEDINA TEA PARTY: REPUBLICANS SIPPING TEA
It has occurred to me that some might have been offended by reference to the Tea Party in less than flattering terms. I must apologize to anyone whose genuine beliefs may have been offended.
In Medina County, however, all you see is the same old staid Republican faces self-promoting themselves as members of the new Tea Party.
I continually see and hear all manner of optimistic assessments of the impact that the Tea Party may very well have on the landscape of American politics. I certainly have very realistic doubts about that anticipated outcome.
TEA PARTIERS however, are nothing more than Medina County Republicans trying to re-brand themselves as the Tea Party, as if they belong to a revolutionary political movement. In Medina County, at least, nothing could be further from the truth. It's just the same old grime and corruption with a fresh coat of paint.
It appears that the only true third party in Medina County is the NAZI PARTY, which is firmly entrenched in the Medina County system of injustice!

DINO HOLMAN'S SELF-PROMOTION, AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
It is time to turn to the matter of the self-promotion of Medina County elected prosecutor DINO HOLMAN. Of course, to do this, I must turn to several sources of public information, readily available to the reader.
It is first necessary to turn to DINO's current web page, found at http://www.medinacountyprosecutor.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2&Itemid=3. You will notice that DINO's current web page states explicitly, "Mr. Holman is currently President of the Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys Association (OPAA). "
Next, it is necessary to turn to the website of the Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys Association (OPAA), an organization of which HOLMAN claims to be currently the president. The website of the Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys Association can be found at http://www.ohiopa.org/board.htm.
If you elect to go to the OPAA website, you will find that the current president of the Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys Association is Ms. Sherry L. Bevan Walsh, the Summit County Prosecutor.
Giving the devil his due, DINO is listed as a past president, apparently several years ago!
It would appear that DINO is just as truthful about his current credentials as he is honest when he railroads INDICTED defendants in the Medina County courts.
Next we turn to a self-serving interview that DINO gave to the Medina Gazette prior to the November 2008 General Election. The article, referenced in an earlier segment of this blog, can be found at http://medinagazette.northcoastnow.com/2008/10/06/holman-russica-to-face-off-in-nov/.
The first thing of which I take notice is that DINO's challenger in the 2008 election, Mario Russica, has honorably served his country in the United States Marine Corps.
DINO, however, has not had any such honorable service to tout, and understandably so. Perhaps if DINO had served in the Armed Forces, he might have some measure of respect and reverence for the United States Constitution, which he obviously lacks.
Mr. Russica, where are you now? The citizens of Medina County need you, now more than ever!
Next DINO touts that his office actually subpoenaed 10 out-of-state witnesses to trial. Now that is certainly something to be proud of, actually preparing and mailing ten subpoenas to ten witnesses. I suspect that most of the readers of this blog mail as many as ten or more envelopes out of the State of Ohio when paying monthly bills. You should all be equally as proud as DINO over this feat.
Next, and really telling, DINO boasted about the lengthy sentences meted out to two INDICTED defendants in the Medina County courts. DINO, however, failed to mention that he likely dictated those lengthy prison sentences to COLLIER, who, in strict obedience to HOLMAN, simply imposed the Holman-mandated lengthy prison sentences upon these two defendants.
You can verify, for yourselves, that COLLIER did indeed sentence both of the defendants named in the article by reviewing the online dockets published by the Medina County Clerk of Courts at http://www.co.medina.oh.us/clerk/clrkhome.htm. You don't suppose that HOLMAN is steering high profile cases, with defendants deserving maximum punishment (according to DINO), to COLLIER, do you?
Of course, in the same article as presented earlier, DINO touts his questionable 98% conviction rate, obtained only by violating the constitutional rights of that 98% of convicted and punished defendants.
Predictably, DINO expressed his opposition to open discovery. Open Discovery means nothing more than a defendant has complete access to the prosecutor's file.
HOLMAN makes the disingenuous argument that an open discovery policy would prevent victims from coming forward. What he actually means is that it will be more difficult for him and his criminal assistants to conceal exculpatory evidence from the defense, a common practice in his office.
In fact, HOLMAN and his criminal assistants prefer to give no discovery at all to INDICTED defendants. There is ample evidence of this.
For example, Rule 16 of the Ohio Rules of Criminal Procedure, at Staff Notes to Division (A), to be found at http://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/LegalResources/Rules/criminal/CriminalProcedure.pdf,
expressly states, "The rule accelerates the timing of the exchange of materials..." NOT IN MEDINA COUNTY!
In fact, contrary to the expressed intent of Rule 16 to expedite the exchange of discoverable material, DINO has established his own inner-office Ten Day Rule. What that means, is that, as a matter of policy, DINO and his criminal assistants delay furnishing discovery and do not reply to requests for discovery, filed by attorneys, until the request has been in DINO's office for ten days.
The purpose of the delay by DINO is to eat up the clock so as to deprive defense attorneys the opportunity to adequately prepare other motions which must meet specific deadlines.
THAT DINO HOLMAN IS A SLY OLD FOX, ISN'T HE? HE LIES TO JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY!

A LITTLE BIT OF THE MEDINA COUNTY POLITICAL MATH
I thought, in the wake of this week's General Election, it might be fun to do some Medina County political math.
If I remember rightly, corrupt Medina County judge CHRIS COLLIER was APPOINTED, not ELECTED, to the Medina County Court of Common Pleas in 1998 to "fill" the unexpired term of Bill Batchelder, who appears to be COLLIER's Rabbi.
The next Medina County General Election was held in 2004. In that rigged "election," COLLIER won by a landslide since he had no opposition Democrat candidate for his seat. That's another six years, which brings us up to 2010 and the most recent General Election.
So, in the 2010 rigged General Election, COLLIER once again won by a landslide in the hotly UNCONTESTED election. As usual, COLLIER faced no Democrat opposition and won yet another six-year term, which by my calculation, takes us up to and through calendar year 2016.
Now for the math part. By deducting 1998 from 2016, I arrive at the sum of 18.
How about that? COLLIER has been handed no less than an 18 year appointment to the Court of Common Pleas without ever having faced any opposition at all for the seat.
THAT IS SIMPLY AMAZING. ONLY IN MEDINA COUNTY!
It is patently clear that Medina County Democrats are well pleased with COLLIER for his unfailing service as a lackey to Dem prosecutor DINO HOLMAN.
The only little wrinkle in this scheme is that you and I, the voters of Medina County, have never had the opportunity to unseat this corrupt judge because the Medina Democrats have been playing ball with the Republicans, all contrary to the public good.
CORRUPTION IS SO DEEPLY ROOTED IN MEDINA POLITICS, IT WOULD SEEM THAT ONLY OUTSIDE INTERVENTION CAN CLEAN IT UP!

PUBLIC CORRUPTION HAS MADE THE NOT-SO-LONG LEAP FROM CUYAHOGA TO MEDINA COUNTY
I have received some rather interesting information from a reader of this blog. The tentacles of public corruption have reached into Medina County politics, which is really not surprising when you consider the lack of honesty and integrity among our group of local political hacks like DEAN HOLMAN and CHRIS COLLIER.
It seems that one of the principal Cuyahoga County "public officials," recently indicted by the Federal Grand Jury, has compromised the "integrity" of some "public officials" in Medina County.
CORRUPTION BREEDS CORRUPTION!!
Trying to determine whether the public corruption, which infests Medina County, began here and spread to Cuyahoga County, or the reverse, is like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg.
I have personally seen some of the documentation and there is absolutely no doubt about the the "influence" exerted locally by corrupt Cuyahoga County politicians.
Of course, you will never see anything of this nature published in the Medina Gazette, where the motto is, "We print all the news the politicians want you to see!"
There is an age-old adage that those who fail to comprehend history are doomed to repeat it.
One might ponder the issue of freedom of the press, and who benefits from controlling that which is published.
THE CORRUPT MEDINA POLITICOS ARE NOW ASSAILING THE FIRST AMENDMENT, HAVING ALREADY DENIED YOU YOUR FOURTH, FIFTH, SIXTH, AND FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS!
MUCH MORE TO COME, WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME ....

GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT!
I have recently spoken with an individual called to jury service in judge COLLIER's courtroom. According to the potential juror, COLLIER attempted to "warm up" the jury in a manner reminiscent of that kiddie T.V. show, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
In the course of the "warm up" COLLIER related a personal anecdote which goes right to the essence of his qualifications as a judge in the Medina County Court of Common Pleas.
According to the juror, COLLIER related that he had been more or less a "C" student in school. My best guess is that he was probably less a "C" student than more.
COLLIER then went on to exclaim that "they" said he would never amount to anything. But, look at him now, a real judge with a real courtroom.
I've got some surprising news for COLLIER, "THEY" WERE RIGHT!
It's quite surprising that COLLIER could have gotten through law school, at least without cheating.
Of course, we all now know how he keeps his uncontested throne on the bench of the Medina County Court of Common Pleas, and it's definitely NOT because of his intelligence, honesty, or integrity!
As someone literate in computer sciences would say, "Garbage in, garbage out!"

SOMETHING ELSE IS FISHY OVER AT THE MEDINA COUNTY COURTHOUSE/RAILROAD STATION
As you now know, the corrupt politicos over at the Medina Courthouse/Railroad Station have applied a little arm-twisting over at the Medina Gazette to remove a Reader Comment from their website which, at the time, contained a link to this blog. The web page is found at http://medinagazette.northcoastnow.com/2010/10/09/inflat
Such is the level of public corruption in Medina County, suppressing the First Amendment Right to freedom of expression.
If you should go to that online article, you will find references to a lawsuit filed by Bill Doraty of Kia Motors against the Medina Township trustees. The article is dated October 9, 2010, and appeared nearly one month ago.
In the article, DINO HOLMAN denied having a "secret meeting" with Mike Todd in Columbus. RIGHT!!!!
Nevertheless, presuming that Doraty and/or Kia Motors filed the lawsuit against Medina Township in the Medina County Court of Common Pleas, I took it upon myself to check the docket at the website of the Medina County Clerk of Court, found at http://www.co.medina.oh.us/medct_epublicnodr/
What I found there, and what you will find, is NOTHING! Something is really fishy about that fact. Doraty and KIA Motors have been named as defendants in a number of prior actions, but there is no entry showing Doraty or KAI Motors as the plaintiff(s) (the person bringing the lawsuit) to be found at the Clerk's website.
If Bill Doraty filed a lawsuit in Medina County Court of Common Pleas, filed under his name or the name of his business, KIA Motors, the lawsuit should have been docketed on or about the date it was filed with the Clerk of the Court and assigned to a judge for disposition.
The fact that the alleged lawsuit has not been docketed by now, nearly one month after the date of the Gazette article, should be raising some eyebrows, particularly in light of the alleged meeting between HOLMAN and Todd in Columbus.
IF the case has been filed by Doraty under his personal or business name in the Medina County Court of Common Pleas, and the case has not yet been assigned to a judge for resolution, and IF HOLMAN met with Todd in Columbus, then those apparent facts should raise suspicion, to a fairly hight degree, that the FIX IS IN, of course in favor of Medina Township.
It would not surprise me one bit that HOLMAN would steer Doraty's case to COLLIER, who will decide the case in the manner dictated to him by HOLMAN.
Welcome to Medina County "justice," Bill, where there are no Constitutional Rights and there is no Rule of Law!
