A POST-THANKSGIVING INQUIRY OF COLLIER

TO: judge COLLIER:

Following the celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday, the occasion on which Christians give thanks the Lord for all of the blessings of the past year, did you give PRAISE TO ALLAH?

Given the fact that you are given to the practice of Muslim Sharia Law in the courtroom, I assume you are a Muslim or, at the very least, a Muslim sympathizer.  Surely, you are not a proponent of Christianity, which asserts that all men are the beneficiaries of certain inalienable GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS that you deny to the citizens of Medina County.

I've come to wonder what it is like to be a POLITICAL HARLOT.  Having had no such personal experience, I turn to you for the answers.  You are surely more than qualified to answer them.

I certainly understand that this is merely a rhetorical exercise, since you do not have the courage to honestly face your own great failings of character.  I cannot expect you to admit them to me or anyone else.

I am curious, however, about what it is like to violate the provisions of the United States Constitution and the rulings of the United States Supreme Court on  daily basis.

I often wonder what it is like to have no reasonable level of self-esteem, to the point that you have to answer to someone like SALISBURY when you misapply the law and deny citizens their constitutional rights.

I am curious as to what it is like to take your marching orders from HOLMAN and SALISBURY.

I am curious what it is like to deny innocent citizens fair trials, as is your custom.


I wonder what it is like to conceal and cover up felony violations of law committed by Salisbury in proceedings in your courtroom?


Did you think you would get away with it forever?  Apparently so!


Then too, I wonder what it is like for you to hide and withhold favorable evidence from defendants, for the sake of endearing yourself to HOLMAN and SALISBURY, even if it is contrary to law.

I often wonder what it is like, as the MEDINA HARLOT, what you feel, if anything, when you sentence innocent citizens to prison, when you know they are innocent, just to satisfy HOLMAN and SALISBURY, solely for the sake of maintaining your uncontested seat on the bench of the Medina County Court of Common Pleas.

In a related matter, I've wondered what it is like to have sold you soul to the DEVIL, just to keep your uncontested seat on the bench.

What is it like to look in the mirror every morning, knowing that you possess neither honesty nor integrity?

Just what is it like to lack any semblance of character?

I wonder if you have ever thought about your CREATOR and His Divine Justice, or do you believe that ALLAH is not your creator?

What do you suppose will be your fate when you meet ALLAH on the day of your final judgment?  Do you expect that you'll be greeted by 72 virgins on the other side?

Do you expect ALLAH to be merciful to you when you have denied justice to so many in this life?


Just what is it like for you to wait for Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to come calling? There is little doubt that they are coming, given the connection between key players in the Cuyahoga County corruption investigation and Medina County politicians.


Also, I wonder what you are going to say to the jury when you are on trial in Federal Court for your pivotal role in the political corruption in the Medina Courts.


How are you going to explain that you never faced an honest, uncontested election?


How are you going to explain that you never formed a campaign committee or never expended one thin dime in campaign spending?


How are you going to explain that you never had a concern about facing any opposition in any Medina County General Election, as the evidence clearly shows?


How are you going to explain the fact that you have consistently ruled against defendants, in spite of the law, particularly when defense attorneys have briefed you on the law and Salisbury has never written a brief or cited to the case law?


I fear that, in your arrogance, you, HOLMAN, and SLEAZEBURY have become more than a little sloppy.  The tale will all be told in the records, and the witnesses whom you have abused for these many long years.


How are you going to explain away all the intentionally errant rulings, documented by the records, always made in favor of HOLMAN an SLEAZEBURY?


When confronted with all of the competent, probative evidence against you, do you believe a Federal jury will believe that you made a series of innocent "mistakes," time, after time, after time; year, after year, after year?


Then too, "judge," who will be making your mortgage payments while you are serving YOUR SENTENCE in the Federal Penitentiary?


Will your family have to live in Section 8 housing, as you've forced families of innocent persons you have unlawfully convicted to do?


It is a humbling experience to be caught in crime, isn't it?


I'll bet that, like most REAL CRIMINALS, the only remorse you will demonstrate to your sentencing judge is the sorrow you feel for yourself, having been caught in the act!


NO NEED TO REPLY "judge," SINCE YOU WILL BE VERY BUSY SCHEMING WITH SALISBURY AS TO HOW TO CONVICT THE NEXT INNOCENT CITIZEN AND HIDE ANY FAVORABLE EVIDENCE TENDING TO SHOW THAT THE ACCUSED DID NOT COMMIT THE CHARGED OFFENSE.  HOWEVER, NOT TO WORRY.  I AM CERTAIN THAT HOLMAN AND SALISBURY WILL FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOU.  ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS RULE IN THEIR FAVOR, DESPITE THE LAW, AND GO ALONG FOR THE RIDE.  RIGHT "judge"?


Your fatal failing, and fatal it is, was making the basic assumption that everyone who sits in trial in your courtroom is not quite as clever as you think you are.  Well, you have been in obvious error, once again.  You have simply chosen, on a recent occasion, to deprive the wrong innocent citizen of constitutional protections.


It is true, as they say, that the Lord works in strange and mysterious ways!  Had you not railroaded this innocent individual, you and your corrupt conduct may very well have not come to my attention.  But, here we are!  We both recognize, you and I, just how really corrupt you really are.


Therein lies your dilemma.  You've always known how corrupt you have been.  But, once I discovered the level of your complete corruption, it's added a  totally new and unforeseen complication, hasn't it?


There's no longer anywhere to hide, "judge."


You made a big mistake when you railroaded an innocent person to prison when there were others in the courtroom who knew significantly more about the law and the Rules of Evidence  than you expected.  Arrogance can do that to you!


Whenever you committed an intentional error, contrary to the law and the Rules of Evidence, not a bit of it went unnoticed, including the criminal conduct of Salisbury, which you aided and abetted.


In fact, I took immediate notice when you committed your very public criminal act and I knew, then and there, that you were COMPLETELY CORRUPT!  I also recognized, then and there, that the defendant had not one chance in hell of receiving a fair trial.


So it was to be!  You could have avoided all that is coming your way, had you just acted honestly and honorably.  That, however, is not your nature, is it "judge"?


You can be assured that I intend to attend your arraignment and trial in Federal Court, where you will be treated fairly. Sadly, you won't be treated in Federal Court the way you have abused innocent citizens in Medina County.


But then again, honest judges, unlike you, have reverence for the U.S. Constitution and respect for the law.  You have demonstrated, time and again, that you lack both.  That may very well be no small part of the reason you have been so easily bribed and corrupted by HOLMAN.


Yes, "judge," you will be leaving behind quite a legacy in your wake, a legacy of crime and corruption, perpetrated by you and others, including HOLMAN, who have violated the law in the name of the Law!  You have been motivated to do these unconscionable things simply out of personal expedience, with absolutely no regard for justice.


I am confident that these matters are of no consequence to you because YOU ARE COMPLETELY IMMORAL!


YOU ARE A CORRUPT, PATHETIC SOUL, INDEED, "judge"!


MUCH MORE TO COME  ....

    TIME AGAIN FOR A QUICKIE QUIZ!

    Since it's been awhile, I thought it appropriate to pop another quickie quiz.  If you have been a regular reader of this blog, this quiz should be a breeze.

    QUESTION:  What spineless, wishy-washy multi-celled organism has no brain and no testicles?

    Did you guess a jellyfish?  If so, you were almost right.

    If you guessed corrupt judge CHRISTOPHER "COLLIER," you guessed right!

    If you guessed corrupt assistant Medina County prosecutor SCOTT SLEAZEBURY, you also guessed right!

    If you guessed COLLIER and SLEAZEBURY, you scored 100% on the quiz!

    If you guessed COLLIER, SLEAZEBURY, and corrupt Medina County Prosecutor DEAN HOLMAN, not only were you right, but you scored an additional 25 bonus points on the quiz!

    That wasn't so hard now, was it?

    MUCH MORE TO COME ....

    WHAT, DO YOU SUPPOSE, IS THE MEANING OF "666"?

    I must confess that I've just received another email missive from one of our "public servants" over at the Medina County Courthouse and Railroad Station which is somewhat confusing.

    This curious email message is pictured directly below:

    FELONY IN THE COURTHOUSE BY MEDINA JUDGE!


    angus to pers-y35gp-208.

    FELONY IN THE COURTHOUSE BY MEDINA JUDGE!


    From
    angus <angus666@live.com>
    to
    pers-y35gp-2081425029@craigslist.org
    date
    Sat, Nov 27, 2010 at 3:58 AM
    subject
    FELONY IN THE COURTHOUSE BY MEDINA JUDGE!
    mailed-by
    craigslist.org

     ** CRAIGSLIST ADVISORY --- AVOID SCAMS BY DEALING LOCALLY
    ** Avoid: wiring money, cross-border deals, work-at-home
    ** Beware: cashier checks, money orders, escrow, shipping


    get a fucking life!

    Now this curious message has me baffled on a number of accounts.


    I ALREADY KNOW THAT CORRUPT JUDGE COLLIER HAS COMMITTED A FELONY IN THE MEDINA COUNTY COURTHOUSE.  IN FACT, I KNOW THAT HE HAS COMMITTED MANY FELONIES WHILE ACTING IN HIS CAPACITY AS A "JUDGE."


    Nevertheless, this email message is still quite puzzling.

    Firstly, you will notice that the text of the message, highlighted in blue, is not really a gramatically correct sentence.  At best, it is a phrase, perhaps just a snippet of a sentence.  As we all know, a sentence should always begin with a capital letter. None to be found here!

    A sentence also requires a subject.  No subject here!

    To be a properly constructed sentence, the suspect should should have preceded the highlighted phrase with additional language like "Angus needs to..."

    Now, that makes much more sense and is likely what the sender was trying to communicate.


    Perhaps if "Angus" was not so preoccupied with framing innocent citizens on trumped up charges and trying to HOLMANIZE them, he might just have time to get a life!

    Yet, there is more puzzlement to this message: the identity of the suspect.  You see, I don't know of anyone named "Angus 666," living or dead, currently employed at the Medina County Courthouse and Railroad Station.


    This matter clearly requires some deductive logic.  If the suspect, who obviously wishes to remain anonymous, had used the return email address of "COLLIER 666," or "HOLMAN 666," or even "SALISBURY 666," it would have been rather easy to identify the sender.


    It seems necessary to look at the lack of sentence structure and to psychoanalyze the essence of the assumed name (alias) to arrive at a reasonable conclusion.


    The anonymous sender, in part, uses the assumed name of Angus, which as most know, is a breed of beef cattle.  The suspect did not use the name "Holstein 666," or "Jersey 666," which are breeds of dairy cattle, from which I deduce the sender is not particularly fond of milk.  I can relate to that.


    No, our suspect is a meat and potatoes kind of guy and, I infer, probably most closely relates to that part of the cow nearest to and directly below the tail.  That certainly suggests the suspect could be any number of individuals associated with the Medina Courts.


    Delving deeper, however, one must consider the temperament of Angus cattle, which are considered to be erratic in behavior, more than a little goofy at times, and can't be trusted.


    Now that sounds a lot like COLLIER to me.


    So at this point we have a goofy, erratic, and unpredictable individual who most likely bears the qualities of that part of a black cow nearest to and directly beneath the tail.  So far, so good.


    Having now pretty well figured out the personality type of "Angus," we need to look at the structure of the incomplete sentence, or phrase, if you will.


    Given the fact that "Angus" lacks the ability to properly construct a sentence, or capitalize the first word, and fails to use anything more than a two-syllable word, the first person who comes to mind is assistant Medina County prosecutor SCOTT SALISBURY a/k/a SKIPPY SLEAZEBURY (for obvious reasons).


    It is an established fact that SLEAZEBURY doesn't really know much about the law and never writes legal briefs or cites any case law.  That can easily be verified by checking the dockets of any of his cases at the website of the Medina Clerk of Court and are always in COLLIER's courtroom.


    Given the fact that SLEAZEBURY has such limited communication skills, and lacks the fundamental ability to read and write intelligibly, it seems that SLEAZEBURY is our suspect.


    But, no so fast.  We need to look at the significance of the number "666" that "Angus" has placed behind his name.


    Now, I suppose, that there may be any number of theories of the intended meaning of "666."


    I, however, choose to posit that, reasonably, the number "666" represents the  number of innocent citizens framed and railroaded in Medina County so far in calendar year 2010.  


    Of course, HOLMAN  and SLEAZEBURY both come to mind, both of whom are so proud of their tarnished 98% rate of conviction that they will do anything and everything, including violating the law, to preserve it.


    Then again, COLLIER has more than a vested interest in assuring that HOLMAN preserves his tarnished 98% conviction rate.  After all, it's the only way COLLIER has been able to keep his uncontested seat on the bench, without any Democrat opposition, for all these many years.


    So, in the final analysis, the baffling message was went to me by SALISBURY, HOLMAN, or COLLIER.


    However, "Angus 666" needs to look ahead just a little bit, since we are still in the month of November, with approximately 8% of the year yet to go.


    If my math is correct, Angus should easily be able to project that, by the last day of 2010, he will have participated in framing and railroading no fewer than 727 innocent Medina County citizens.


    So, "Angus," I expect to receive your next email message with the return email address of "Angus 727"!


    MUCH MORE TO COME ....

    A VERY SHORT RIDDLE!

    I thought, just to break the monotony of dealing with the grime and corruption in the Medina County courts, for at least a moment, it might be interesting to pose this intriguing riddle.

    Question:  What follows the Medina County Prosecutor around the courthouse on all fours, licks his shoes, begs, whines, and rolls over on Command?

    What, a dog you say?  Definitely not!  See the answer below.


    Answer:  Medina County judge CHRISTOPHER COLLIER!

    ANOTHER SNAPPY RETORT FROM SALISBURY, WHO'S WILTING UNDER THE HEAT!!

    I have just learned from a reader of this blog, and a victim of the CORRUPTION IN THE MEDINA COUNTY COURTS, that CORRUPT assistant MEDINA COUNTY prosecutor SCOTT SALISBURY a/k/a SKIPPY SLEAZEBURY (for obvious reasons) has posted another of his vulgar, filthy messages on Craig's List.

    SLEAZEBURY, who is definitely reacting to the heat he is feeling from being exposed for his CRIMINAL INVOLVEMENT in the corruption in Medina County courts, has posted the following :

    Well after visiting your blog and reading the true facts, I MUST agree and say that it fits "SLEAZEBURY" to a tee! I had to deal with this court system as well as with Collier and SLEAZEBAG while my husband was arrested, held and eventually sentenced to serve 5 years. I have personally blown Colliers during trial, said SLEAZEBAG!  (IS SKIPPY SLEAZEBURY  FINALLY ADMITTING TO HIS OWN PERVERTED CONDUCT?) The way he presents himself with his buddy Scott (prosecutor) presented his big one (DREAM ON, SKIPPY!)   SLEEZEBALL presented his so called big one and even smirking at times. Yet when my husbands atty objected, it was always overruled and with anannoyed wave of the dick or a rolling of the balls (ARE YOU KIDDING, WITH YOUR COMPLETE LACK OF TESTOSTERONE, SKIPPY?) and when she had presented the TRUTH to the jury, Collier was yawning... looking around the room and at one point he even rested his head on his desk for awhile!!! (A FACTUAL OBSERVATION OF COLLIER'S USUAL AND CUSTOMARY CONDUCT AT TRIAL) I sat there and thought to myself,"wow....this guys in the wrong proffession.He should have been a gigolo"  (ANYTHING AT ALL EXCEPT A CORRUPT ATTORNEY AND JUDGE!) Anyways, after Colliers reaction to the defense attorney getting blown out of the water by Collier's corrupt rulings in support of SLEAZEBAG,  I feel whole heartedly that Collier's actions definatley swayed the jury. Needless to say my husbands family and I were cummed on. (NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT!) As we left the courtroom, that's where we were attacked by this lying and heartless P.O.S prosecutor. He began by calling my mother in law a fat ass, then moved to my sister in law telling her to shut her fat mouth, then on to the rest of us. This went on for quite awhile until two or three people of his own basically dragged him away from us and led him to their car. OH.... and did I mention the fact that there were children present the entire time I was being accosted by this SLEAZEBAG?!!! Yeah....REAL PROFFESSIONAL, don't ya think? This would definatley be salsburys style.( THIS SLEAZY MESSAGE SURELY IS I can't wait until the day I see these crooks arrested and do.... jail time! I told my story because the Medina County court system is completely corrupt. Ever wonder why the prisons are SO overcrowded? Now you know why! SLEAZEBAG has given Collier way too much head!!!!! (GIVEN ALL THE TIME SLEAZEBURY SPENDS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS IN CHAMBERS WITH COLLIER, I SUSPECT HE'S "GRATIFIED" COLLIER PLENTY) NO MORE INTIMADATION from these so called "judges" and "prosecutors".I'm serious..... IT'S TIME! (FOR A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION OF THE MEDINA COUNTY COURTS BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE)


    ONCE AGAIN, YOU ARE PROVIDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW FIRSTHAND SALISBURY'S COMPLETE LACK OF CHARACTER.  IT CERTAINLY APPEARS THAT HE'S TEETERING ON THE EDGE OF THE PRECIPICE.


    I WONDER HOW SLEAZEBURY WILL REACT WHEN HIS FELONIOUS CRIMINAL CONDUCT, FOR WHICH HE SHOULD BE CRIMINALLY CHARGED AND CONVICTED ALONG WITH COLLIER AND HOLMAN, WILL BE EXPOSED AT THIS BLOG ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2010?


    MUCH, MUCH MORE REALLY INTERESTING INFORMATION TO COME ....











    HOW A LEGAL PROFESSIONAL RATES "judge" COLLIER

    I FIND IT REALLY INTERESTING HOW A LEGAL PROFESSIONAL, A PRACTICING ATTORNEY, HAS RATED COLLIER'S PERFORMANCE AS A "judge," APPLYING THE CRITERIA ESTABLISHED BY THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION.


    You can confirm COLLIER's professional rating by a colleague by following this link:
    http://www.ratethecourts.com/results.php?id=37899&judge=167495&list=1
    Be sure to click on the purple "Witness" tab at the website to see how a witness rated COLLIER's performance in the courtroom. EVEN A NEUTRAL WITNESS OBSERVED COLLIER'S BIAS AGAINST A DEFENDANT AND FOR SALISBURY.

    It is certainly evident that COLLIER, the self-admitted "C" student, has scored a resounding "F" in his performance as a jurist.


    You will note that the respondent to the survey gave up halfway through the survey because he/she wore the ink off the "F" key!

    This assessment of COLLIER's performance by a practicing attorney is right on the mark and says it all.

    NO BIG SURPRISE HERE!  


    I'M SURE THAT MEDINA COUNTY DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ALIKE ARE DULY PROUD THAT THEY'VE HANDED THIS COMPLETELY CORRUPT INCOMPETENT 18 YEARS OF UNCONTESTED TENURE ON THE BENCH.


    IT IS VERY EASY TO SEE WHY HOLMAN HAS SO EASILY GAINED CONTROL OF COLLIER AND WHY COLLIER IS SO COMPLETELY CORRUPT.  HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE.


    It just goes to support that age-old adage: Those who can, do; Those who can't, teach; and those who can neither do nor teach, go to "work" in the Medina County courts!
