GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT

CHAPTER  I

CLAUDE MC COLLUM


http://truthinjusticefiles.blogspot.com/search?q=sawyer

Ingham County Prosecuting Attorney, Stuart Dunnings prosecuted Claude McCollum, a black Student at Lansing Community College, for the bludgeoning death of a LCC Prefessor. 

McCollum was convicted on some great State Police forensics evidence, even though both the State Police and Mr. Dunnings were aware of video camera surveillence film that showed McCollum was at another location at the time the crime was committed.

McCollum, you see, was "a little slow" and often bothered staff at the school, according to Dunnings. (like Trig, I guess?)

Dunnings and the State Police further ignored three other identical crimes that happened in short order after McCollum was convicted. It wasn't until a tip gave them the real murderer that Dunnings  ( even then reluctantly ) released McCollum.

After being faced with overwhelming evidence that McCollum could not have committed the crimes, Dunnings continued to drag on persuing his release until the actual killer was caught and had confessed (to three other same-modus operandi murders, in the same areas, after the LCC professor murder).

When cornered by a usually inattentive media, Dunnings sobbed that he couldn't understand how this could happen, and that his office would work tirelessly, yadayada, to see this did not happen again.

Of course Dunnings alligator tears went missing in subsequent cases, especially the case mentioned in the MICHIGAN STATE POLICE (THE NEW MAFIA), article on this page.





It's estimated that as many as 20% of all inmates incarcerated in Michigan State prisons, are serving sentences for crimes they did not commit (see State Police and McCollum).

The decisions of the Michigan Criminal courts are overturned or reversed in higher numbers than any other state in the union.

Judges in MIchigan have complaints filed against them more than any other states.

PRISONS & RECIDIVISM

Official recidivism rate in Michigan is put at around 60%. Baloney. That figure doesn't take into consideration those who commit crimes but don't get caught, nor those  elderly who die before they get caught. Some sources say recidivism rate is more like 90%.

The theory of incarceration in Michigan is: prison is no country club; we want criminals to think twice before they commit a crime.

Those convicted of crimes are given no training, no education, no nothing. When they are turned loose, they are no better off than when they entered prison.


DETROIT

Before 1960, the per capita income in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Counties (Greater Detroit) was the highest in the country. Today, incomes are the lowest in the United States - DEAD LAST.

Then came the pimps - The Levins, the Kwames, the Conyers, Judge Roth, and National crooks (click here)

Today (Feb. 2010)  - unemployment is (officially) 14.9%. http://www.bls.gov/news.release/metro.nr0.htm

There are 1,024 houses in the Detroit area listed on the MLS for under $10,000. You can buy a lot of very nice 4 bedroom/ 2 bath homes for under $20,000.  37% 0f homes are in foreclosure.
Michigan is the perfect example of what will eventually go wrong when "Progressives" are put in charge for an indefinite length of time
UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS



In a state where its bloated state bureaucracy enjoys Cadillac pay, working conditions, and benefits, those workers who apply for unemployment benefts are given the runaraound, denied their claims, and just otherwise dreadfully treated by those who are paid by those same workers.



A reliable source told me about one person, who was laid off by Volunteers of America then refused benefits on the basis that VOA was a tax-exempt church charitable organization.



Michigan Statutes CLEARLY define that VOA must pay the tax and must pay unemployment, but because VOA (apparently) has not paid into the system all these years, and because the (overpaid) Michigan bureaucracy has not caught their error, this unemployed worker gets nothing.



I' mtold that all of the appeals (even sent by certified mail) are ignored and that at hearings the applicant was refused the right to have his father represent him, while VOA (a corporation) was represented at hearings by a cleark in the personnel department.



In this Unionized State, you wonder how this can happen.
WHERE' TAXPAYER-FUNDED ABORTIONS' WAS BORN
(Define Irony)


Thank you Mark Stupak.; and thank you Alpena, Petosky, Escanaba, Houghton, Sault Ste. Marie, Mackinaw Island,  and the whole of the Upper Peninsula, for electing him to represent your interests. Because he does not represent America's interest.  
I grew up in Michigan, and lived in Northern Michigan and fished in Northern Michigan lakes and rivers, and worked on Mackinaw Island. I Once owned 15 Book/Hallmark/Record stores in MIchigan. Customers were wonderful, God-fearing people. In the Eighties, I sold my stores to Eberhard Foods, and Waldenbooks and moved to Florida. 

What happened to these good people? Abortion is banned in every Christian country in the world, except the USA. Now, because of Mark Stupak, we who don't believe in abortion are forced to choose between paying for abortions through our taxes, or going to jail.

Thanks, Michigan.
Before vacationing in Michigan, one might consult with their Chiropractor. The roads more resemble the surface of the moon than a surface upon which to drive a car. 
GOVERNMENT WORKERS JOBS
POLITICIANS, CORRUPT COPS & COURTS

Crime has increased by over 21% in the past 5 years, while the Michigan State Police has been reduced from 1800 to 1000. Makes sense. Where are those $100,000 MSP Sergeants when you need them?

Retired at 50 in Florida and enjoying it. Thanks taxpayers. Well they have a dangerous job, you say. They deserve it. The death rate for highway construction workers is 8 times the death rate of police officers - so maybe highway workers should retire at 40?

It's estimated that as many as 20% of all inmates incarcerated in Michigan State prisons, are serving sentences for crimes they did not commit (see State Police and McCollum).

The decisions of the Michigan Criminal courts are overturned or reversed in higher numbers than any other state in the union.

Judges in MIchigan have complaints filed against them more than any other states.


MICHIGAN STATE POLICE (THE NEW GESTAPO ?)

1.  1987: Under the Freedom of Information Act, lawyers obtained files of 25,000 "suspected subversives" (students) compiled over the years by the MSP -  illegally kept files on people suspected of being communists and posing a danger to the system In a review of a book on anti-Vietnam campus activism.

2. 1989: Confessed pedophile, MSP Det. Lieutenant Robert Beadle,  accused of raping two children, and burning his police cruiser to hide evidence, was denied retirement benefits. Beadle's job with MSP was to go to schools to talk to kids about predators. Define irony. See: Beadle v Michigan State Police Retirement System, 194 Mich ...

3. Lisa Hansen of Grand Rapids, Michigan, failed a polygraph “test” administered by a Michigan State Police sergeant on 22 December 2005. Hansen, a receptionist at a local Panopoulos Salon, was accused of stealing some $425 in cash and checks, which she maintained she had placed in a deposit slot at her employer’s bank.  Hansen’s lawyer, Gerald R. Stahl, “questioned the lie-detector test, saying the polygraph operator badgered her before accusing her of lying.”  https://antipolygraph.org/blog/?p=61

Hansen was criminally charged. and ordered her to perform 40 hours of community service. Now,  the Michigan State Police’s polygraph operator  has been proven completely wrong: on 9 August 2006, a bank employee found the missing money “stuck in a chute” at the night depository. 

4.  (03/05/09)--A Michigan State Police trooper is facing charges for allegedly hitting a an 8-year-old boy with a belt. The trooper, 56-year-old Patrick Sharkey, was charged Thursday with assault and battery and misconduct in office.

5.Melissa Ihrke called police to her home because her son, who was on behavioral medication, was acting violent. When a trooper from the State Police arrived, he recommended that the child needed a good spanking. He wanted the mother to take the boy's belt and hit him. According to the attorney, when she seemed reluctant, the trooper took the belt and hit the child several times on his bottom.

6. June 23, 1997: Three MSP officers faced criminal charges (two for rape). Two MSP women filed harassment charges against their  superiors.

7. At a seminar my source attended at Michigan State University in November 2003, for the startup of 'Project Innocence' at Cooley Law School,  My source queried the retired director of the MSP Forensics Lab about a case where two of its lab technicians (Amy Sanderson Michaud and Kyle Hoskins),  had found semen stains on the alleged 'victim's' underwear in two rape cases,  in Lansing and in Hillsdale, but  had testified, under oath, that the MSP HAD NOT tested those samples, when in fact they DID run the tests, and the DNA DID NOT match the person tried.

The former director told the audience that he had no idea why that happened. However in a private discussion with my source afterwards he confided (off the record) that not only had he later become aware of this through an internal investigation, but that he had written to the New York Times, anonymously detailing the incident.

As a result , the Hillsdale verdict was reversed by the Court of Appeals, but the Lansing conviction is still crawling through the ponderous Michigan State 'legal system.' And the person wrongfully accused, unlike the McCollum case, still sits in prison after 19 years. Held up largely by the same prosecution attorney, Stuart Dunnings, who knowingly railroaded Claude McCollum (click here)

Of course no bad deed goes punished if you are with the police. Amy Sanderson Michaud is now working with the U.S. Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and living large in trendy Annapolis, Maryland.
