CAN LAPDOG "PUBLIUS" COLLIER DISCHARGE A FIREARM WITHOUT SHOOTING HIMSELF IN THE FOOT ?

REASON #6 TO NOT HOLD THIS TRIAL, OR ANY OTHER TRIAL, IN MEDINA COUNTY.
           

Judge Collier Will Not Be On Hand at the Cuyahoga County Courthouse to Carry Through on His Threats to Inspector Hartman Nor the Medina County Prosecutor to Initiate a Contrived Prosecution

Medina Judge Collier, who is now desperate because of the proof of his unlawful conduct from which there is no escape and which Mr. Hartman has placed before the Court, has threatened Inspector Hartman.  As well, evidence developed by Inspector Hartman documents the unlawful conduct of the Medina County Prosecutor’s Office, which has tampered with evidence and continues to deliberately withhold discoverable evidence.

Collier has threatened to shoot Inspector Hartman, to plant drugs in his car, and to cause his arrest and conviction on a charge of OVI based on manufactured evidence, specifically a “canned” urine sample, among other threats.  See Mr. Hartman’s Motion to Dismiss, With Prejudice, on the Grounds of Prosecutorial and Judicial Bad Faith and Misconduct, at pp. 53-54, Exhibit Thirty-Seven.

The conduct of further proceedings in this case, including the trial, if any, at Cuyahoga County greatly diminishes the potential for Judge Collier to carry out one or more of the threats he has directed at Inspector Hartman. *

[FOOTNOTE: At the suppression hearing, Collier remarked that he holds a concealed-carry permit. (Suppression Hearing, Tr. at 32-33).  Inspector Hartman infers, therefore, that Collier carries a concealed firearm upon his person.]

Moreover, the conduct of further proceedings, including the trial, if any, at Cuyahoga County will diminish the likelihood that the Medina County Prosecutor’s Office and Medina County Sheriff’s deputies can engage in retaliation by planting evidence and/or causing the unlawful arrests and contrived prosecutions against Inspector Hartman and the undersigned, not an uncommon practice in Medina County.  See Mr. Hartman’s Motion to Dismiss, With Prejudice, on the Grounds of Prosecutorial and Judicial Bad Faith and Misconduct, at pp. 39-41, Exhibit Twenty-Five, re: State v. Lynn Vandeusen, Medina Case No. 12CR0388; Reply to State’s Opposition to Motion to Dismiss, pp. 55-58, Exhibit Seventeen, re: State v. Carol Gross, Medina Case No. 13CR0474.

MEDINA ASS PROSECUTOR ATTACKS DEFENDANT'S FAMILY, ANOTHER OFFICIAL POLICY OF CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOEMAN

REASON #5 TO NOT HOLD THIS TRIAL, OR ANY OTHER TRIAL, IN MEDINA COUNTY.

            The Medina County Assistant Prosecutors Will Not Be On Hand at The Cuyahoga County Courthouse to Badger, Insult, Harass, and Intimidate Mr. Hartman’s Family in the Case  at Bar.                                                    

During the sentencing hearing following Mr. Hartman’s first trial, Assistant County Prosecutor made disparaging remarks about Mr. Hartman’s parents.  (Sentencing Hearing, Trial I, Tr. at 20; additionally Salisbury’s remarks that have been deliberately deleted from the transcript, including remarks that Inspector Hartman, a highly decorated and honorably retired Federal law enforcement officer, had a “checkered past” in his career, as well as Salisbury’s denigrating remarks pertaining to Inspector Hartman’s investigation of the abduction and murder of Elgin, OH Postmaster Betty Jane Mottinger, resulting in the conviction and life sentence of John George Spirko).

Following the sentencing hearing, Christin Domonkos, Mr. Hartman’s sister, stated to Salisbury that she did not appreciate the manner in which he had disrespected her parents during the hearing.  Salisbury replied using foul and vile language, further insulting Mrs. Domonkos and Mr. Hartman’s mother.

Mr. Hartman chooses to not repeat Salisbury’s language so as to not offend the sensibilities of the Court. However, an accurate recitation of the facts of this encounter can be found at Mr. Hartman’s Reply to State’s Opposition to Dismiss, Exhibit Nineteen, January 30, 2010 letter to the Medina County Commissioners, copied to the Medina County Bar Association.

 

MEDINA ASS PROSECUTOR TAUNTS AND GOADS A CHAINED AND SHACKLED DEFENDANT, ANOTHER OFFICIAL POLICY OF CORRUPT MEDINA PROSECUTOR DINO HOEMAN, ONE OF MEDINA COUNTY'S LEADING JAGOFFS !

REASON #4 TO NOT HOLD THIS TRIAL, OR ANY OTHER TRIAL, IN MEDINA COUNTY.

C.        The Medina County Assistant Prosecutors Will Not Be On Hand at The Cuyahoga County Courthouse to Badger and Intimidate Witnesses in the Case at Bar.        

In Mr. Hartman’s prior trials, held at the Medina County Courthouse, Medina County Assistant Prosecutors engaged in the practice of badgering and intimidating witnesses.  Evidence is to be found in the trial transcript.

The following is taken from Scott Salisbury’s direct examination of Melissa Hartman’s wife who was compelled to testify after asserting her spousal competency privilege:

WITNESS:            Sir, I’m feeling a little badgered right now.

COURT:               I understand.  Do you understand the question?  He just wants to know whether you read it [statement] or not.  If you didn’t read it, it’s okay; if you did, it’s fine.

WITNESS:            Just like out there, when we had this whole thing.  He’s trying to make me feel like I’m lying about everything.

COURT:               He’s just asking if you read your statement or not.

WITNESS:            I feel very intimidated by this gentleman.

COURT:               Here’s what we’re going to do.  We are just going to have one question at a time.  Okay?

                              Mr. Salisbury, your next question, please.

BY SALISBURY

Q.                          I don’t know whether the Jury heard that.  What did you just say to the Judge?

A.                          That was between me and the Judge.

COURT:               That’s fine.  Mr. Salisbury, your next question.

Q.                          Did you just say you feel like you’re lying about everything?  Is that what - - I couldn’t hear you.

A.                          You make it seem like I lie about everything, just like you told me outside, when you badgered me out there before we came in the courtroom. 

Q.                          What did I say to you?

A.                          “Are you going to lie or are you going to tell the truth?”

Q.                          That’s badgering?

A.                          The way you said it.  You know how you were, you intimidated me and scared me out there.               [Emphasis added.]

(Melissa Hartman, Trial I, Tr. at 74-75).

Similarly, Assistant County Prosecutor Scott Salisbury repeatedly taunted and goaded Mr. Hartman (who was handcuffed and shackled) without permission and outside the presence of his attorney.  Moreover, Salisbury shouted at the undersigned to “Shut up” when she instructed Salisbury to cease taunting Mr. Hartman in her presence, which he did in violation of the Canons of Ethics. See Reply to State’s Opposition to Dismiss, Exhibit Two at p. 5, § F, November 8, 2009 letter from the undersigned to Scott Salisbury.  See also 1/04/2010 Defendant’s Post-Hearing Rebuttal Memorandum, With Exhibits, at pp. 15-16.

Similarly, Sheriff’s deputies taunted defense witness Steven Hartman as he waited to offer testimony at Mr. Hartman’s first trial.

As a precautionary measure at Mr. Hartman’s second trial, the undersigned required Inspector Hartman, her investigator, to remain outside the courtroom to prevent further witness intimidation by the Medina County Prosecutor’s Office and Medina County Sheriff’s deputies, thus depriving the undersigned of his assistance in the courtroom at trial.

THINK YOU'RE SAFE IN MEDINA COUNTY? BETTER THINK AGAIN !!!

REASON #3 TO NOT HOLD THIS TRIAL, OR ANY OTHER TRIAL, IN MEDINA COUNTY.
 

B.        Sheriff’s Deputy James Foraker Assaulted Mr. Hartman, Who Had Been Handcuffed and Shackled, Without Provocation in the Stairwell of the Medina County Courthouse, in an Unprovoked  Attack. 

Mr. Harman remained confined in the Medina County Jail during his first trial.  Sheriff’s deputies daily conveyed Mr. Hartman from the Medina County Jail to the Medina County Courthouse, transferring custody of Mr. Hartman from the transport deputy to Deputy James Foraker, the “courtroom deputy,” at restricted entrance to the courthouse.  Thereupon, Deputy Foraker was charged with the responsibility of escorting Mr. Hartman up the stairwell to Courtroom #1.

On no fewer than two occasions, while Mr. Hartman’s hands had been secured to belly chains and his ankles shackled, rendering him defenseless, Deputy Foraker assaulted Mr. Hartman from behind, placing both hands around Mr. Hartman’s throat and choking him.  The unprovoked assaults by the deputy upon Mr. Hartman, in the relative privacy of the stairwell and out of full public view, demonstrate the unlawful brutality and unmitigated cowardice of the sheriff’s deputy directed at Mr. Hartman, who was effectively defenseless during these unprovoked attacks.

This unprovoked violence directed at Mr. Hartman by a sheriff’s deputy demonstrate the level of animus personnel of the Medina County Sheriff’s Office have displayed against Mr. Hartman to the extent that they willfully violated the law and failed to provide for the health and safety of  Mr. Hartman, who had been in their custody. 

The change of venue to Cuyahoga County will eliminate the potential for further violent, assaultive conduct from Medina County Sheriff’s deputies.
