It should be reread and I hope it gets copy/pasted to the top from time to time as not to lose it deep in this thread. Here it is again: I posted on another blog I would no longer visit this site. I retract that because I want to introduce myself to the citizens of Odessa and release the proof of kop korruption in their town. As promised, here is my statement and the evidence. I’m 39 years old and those who know me will say I place family and education first. Candi is my soul mate wife and we partner together, fifty-fifty, in leading and guiding our four children through their everyday lives. My 6 year old son, Zach, has mild autism and has taught us more about love and patience and care then one could learn in a lifetime. My 16 year old daughter completed her freshman year of high school and then took the college entrance exams and passed. She is currently enrolled in Austin Community College and is employed as our office manager. All of our children are very smart and popular and our house is always one of the neighborhood hangouts. Our weekly dinner parties with friends and family usually turn into dancing and playing Guitar Hero. We always project a positive attitude and spend a lot of our time giving and sharing with the homeless people in Austin. Our family prays together but we don’t attend church because I use to preach and it seems impossible to find a church that doesn’t judge. My family can be matched against any family in America and they will not be found wanting. I have also been the guest speaker at many lawyer gatherings, Universities and political venues featuring other spokespersons such as Congressman Ron Paul. I also ran for Congress in this last election and received over 9000 votes in District 31. I tattooed the name “Candi” on my ring finger and on my chest over my heart. I have another tattoo prominently displayed on my arm that reads “Free Our Prisoner, Never Get Busted” and I recently tattooed the words “KopBusters” on my forearms. I am ultra committed to my family and the cause of freedom and I take my work very seriously. I don’t lie unless it’s to kops. In the last two years, I have been investigated by nearly every media source imaginable…FOX, CNN, ABC, NBC, national magazines, private investigators and the feds. The common denominator has always been “Barry is an open book” and “lies have never been discovered in his camp.” I’ll gladly submit to any polygraph examinations as long as the kops are polygraphed as well. (It’s not fair for citizens to pass a polygraph and then not require the kops to take one like in the Yolanda Madden case.) Now that I’ve explained who I am, I must take this time and explain who I use to be. I use to work in your town. I chased gang members through your streets. I made record drug seizures on your highways. I worked side by side with Joe Commander as we tormented citizens with illegal raids and informant plants. Your offices trained me how to circumvent constitutional law and not get caught. Your judges rubber-stamped our warrants and your prosecutors covered our illegal behavior. We constantly doctored videos and reports. We continually lied on affidavits claiming informants observed contraband when they didn’t. We terrorized Ector County men, women and children in over 100 home invasions. We took cars, jewelry, cash, guns and houses from the citizens of Odessa to line our own pockets. We were korrupt kops. It was the citizens of Odessa who allowed us to behave like a band of wild, mafia, narco kops similar to the behavior of the Mexican police. You rewarded our efforts by adorning us with awards and telling our stories in the media and you even gave us pay raises. Worst of all, when I was in my early twenties, being green and naďve about life, you invited me to your schools to teach your children to always give the police consent to search and to always trust the police even if it meant snitching on the parents. As you enabled me to violate your civil rights, I never believed I was a korrupt kop. I believed I was doing the right thing because of my teaching. I believed all the korruption was for the “greater good” because my parents taught me all drug users were evil people and deserved to be locked up. The schools, the churches and the police reinforced the same teachings so I grew up with the sense that I was better than others because I didn’t use drugs…all the while I poured the drug, alcohol, down my throat. I quit law enforcement because of all the craziness and soon found myself targeted by law enforcement. Within 1 year I had been arrested 3 times and raided once in a civil matter. One arrest was for not returning two videos on time to a video store. In another case, I had to urinate once a week for three months during “pre-trial probation” after I was picked up on a Terroristic Threat warrant because a bitche lied to the kops regarding an argument in a bar and the kops failed to investigate the other side. The kops recently searched my family and I with a drug dog in Tyler, Texas. A Big Sandy kop recently tried picking a fight with me in a convenience store. The kop’s friend later made Candi and I believe he was going to shoot us. From time to time we get threatening emails from the police. I posted some of those in this thread. As you can see, I’ve had the rare opportunity of being a korrupt kop and then getting a taste of my own medicine as a citizen. When I realized the korruption was not for the “better good” and it caused irreparable damage to good families, I repented and began my metamorphosis into what I am today...a patriotic American who is fighting for our freedoms. During the metamorphosis, I researched everything I could regarding kop korruption, government korruption and the failed drug war. During the research, I learned one of my longtime heroes, Ronald Reagan, was involved in smuggling cocaine during the crack wars and funneling the money to assist the Contras in South America. Of course he is no longer my hero after I learned I had arrested citizens who had “Ronald Reagan” crack cocaine in their pockets. Through my life experiences, I learned freedom should be the number one priority of all American citizens including the police. I learned any person who gives up their freedoms for security deserves neither. I learned my family was not truly safe in America until we restored the constitutional rights of all persons. I learned that if one American was illegally being held in a cage, we all are. I learned the constitution basically says, “back off government and let us run our own show and don’t bother us unless we harm another.“ I learned my father and grandfather voted their checkbooks and paid no attention to the personal freedoms they traded for economic security. I learned the “Oz” behind the loud American voice was actually a bunch of bald-headed little liars called police, judges, prosecutors and politicians. After rearranging my principles and placing freedom at the top of the list, Candi and I noticed a way we could expose the Oz’s of this land. We brought this expose to your town in the form of KopBusters. If the KopBusters operation, the Yolanda evidence posted on our site and my narrative does not convince the citizens of the korruption in their government, the following evidence will. I was saving this evidence (and a lot more) for the film but now is a good time to release some of the details. The current Narcotics Investigator for the Ector County District Attorney is Joe Commander. The current Narcotics Investigator for the Yoakum County District Attorney is Richard Dickson. These two men were my close partners at the Permian Basin Drug Task Force and we were seen as the “three amigos” of our task force. Photos of Richard and Joe standing next to me can be seen on my website. Richard is in the second photo standing on MY LEFT. Joe is in the fifth photo and is also standing on my left. I blurred the faces two years ago when posting the photos to my site. http://nevergetbusted.com/v2/photos.php Richard Dickson continues training with Joe Commander and the Odessa Narcotics squad on a weekly basis. He often meets with them in joint operations and k-9 training. I explained on my site kops often use illegal FLIR cameras when investigating grow houses. http://nevergetbusted.com/kopbusters/news.php?action=read&nid=1 I have personal knowledge Investigator Richard Dickson owns and uses one of these illegal cameras that is hand-held. He told me it belonged to the Yoakum County D.A.‘s office and he sold me footage from the camera to use in my second film, NeverGetRaided. I used the purchased footage in an entire chapter where I inform citizens how to beat the technology of the illegal device. I placed this chapter on you tube for you to see. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sudf5xDIhmM After watching the Youtube clip, you will notice Richard provided footage of an actual clandestine marijuana grow operation so he either knew about the illegal grow operation and allowed it to operate or he sold me evidence. I paid him $1000 for the footage. Richard Dickson knew I was using the footage in my second film to aid marijuana growers because he had previously sold me footage of his drug dog false alerting to use in my first film titled, “NeverGetBusted: Traffic Stops.” He triggered a local K-9 to false alert during a K-9 training session in Ector County and sold the footage to me for $1300. You can see it here: http://www.nevergetbusted.com/node/50 So yes, one of West Texas’ drug kops, closely connected to the Odessa drug kops, secretly sold me evidence to use in my films that teach Americans how to not get busted for drugs. Richard Dickson can be quoted in various newspaper articles saying he was disgusted with my efforts and accused me of switching sides and producing the films “because of the money.” The entire time he was assaulting my integrity regarding the money my films made, he was spending the $2300 I traded him for the illegal footage. Make a call to Richard Dickson who will not deny these allegations because a prominent media personality witnessed the transaction between Richard and I. I also have paid check copies to prove I paid him. If he tries to deny this, I will post the checks and bring in the media personality to confirm he did it. The significance of a narcotics officer selling evidence to aid Americans in smuggling marijuana is one issue. The second issue is it’s direct relation to the KopBuster’s raid designed to expose korruption in the Yolanda Madden case. The Odessa American reported: “Judge McCoy and Chief Burton defended the narcotics investigators' raid, even after knowing all that transpired. Burton also defended the fact that it was done solely on information given in an anonymous tip and two surveillance drive-bys done by his officers.” Everybody know it takes more than an anonymous tip and two drive by glances of a house to conduct a raid. I believe during one of the “drive-bys,” a kop was holding Richard’s FLIR camera (or another one like it) and took heat imaging footage of the hot air KopBusters was pumping out of the window near the front door similar to the house pumping the heat in the FLIR footage on the Youtube clip. The kops could not include the use of the illegal FLIR camera in the affidavit so they lied in the affidavit to obtain the warrant. More embarrassing, Judge McCoy signed the warrant after reading the affidavit that lacked probable cause. A suspicious poster on the OA blogs, mikelmassey, constantly belittles KopBusters and sides with the police. We pegged him as a kop but later learned through an ISF (Imaging Science Foundation) trained dealer search that this guy sells FLIR cameras. Mike L. Massey, Inc. 303 Corporate Dr. Midland, TX 79705 They list the company name as Science Imaging with the number 915 620 8787. This number has since been disconnected. The kops are getting kop supporters to post on the blogs because they realize all three OA polls show the citizens hatred for the Odessa korruption. Now is the time for the citizens of Ector County to demand a citizen’s review of this matter in the form of a citizen’s review board and to make a plea to the FBI and the Texas Rangers. All officers involved in the raid and Yolanda’s case should be polygraphed. I already announced I would submit to one. Lying kops tremble at the thought of a polygraph…truth tellers do not. You allowed me to be korrupt in your town and I repented and told of my sins. I exposed the current korruption in your town and now it’s your turn.

On the first link that you offer as evidence all I see are post raid photos. I don't see any evidence. On the second link your explanation of the use of FLIR cameras is also not evidence. Where did you learn about FLIR? You can't even pronounce it correctly. On the third link I saw no evidence all I saw was a video presentation on FLIR Technology. Your accusations regarding your personal knowledge that Investigator Richard Dickson owns and uses one of these illegal cameras is again not evidence. It's just an allegation. Without hard evidence other than just your word there appears to be no evidence offered in your posting. Your posting amounts to nothing more than hearsay. You stated "After watching the YouTube clip, you will notice Richard provided footage of an actual clandestine marijuana grow operation so he either knew about the illegal grow operation and allowed it to operate or he sold me evidence." Barry how would I know that Richard Dickson provided you footage of an actual clandestine marijuana grow operation? I saw no evidence pointing to that conclusion in the video. You again offered no evidence regarding that. Barry in several postings you tell everyone that you don't lie but in your recent posting of the alleged evidence you say by your own admission that "I don’t lie unless it’s to kops" and further on in the posting you state "We continually lied on affidavits claiming informants observed contraband when they didn’t." So Barry if I was on a jury how could I trust anything you say after reading your posting? Have you stopped lying? How can I be sure after you posted it here? After watching and reading the so called evidence the only conclusion I came to was you are in this for money and nothing else. On your own website under the YouTube link for Mr. Madden there is a description of the video that I assume your employees put there to describe the video. It states the following: "Her father hired KopBusters, a new reality show produced by NeverGetBusted, whereby Barry and Candi along with their detectives set up stings across America to catch crooked Kops." So now Barry answer this. Are you being paid to do all this or are you really doing this out of the goodness of your heart?

I retract that because I want to introduce myself to the citizens of Odessa and release the proof of kop korruption in their town. As promised, here is my statement and the evidence. I’m 39 years old and those who know me will say I place family and education first. Candi is my soul mate wife and we partner together, fifty-fifty, in leading and guiding our four children through their everyday lives. My 6 year old son, Zach, has mild autism and has taught us more about love and patience and care then one could learn in a lifetime. My 16 year old daughter completed her freshman year of high school and then took the college entrance exams and passed. She is currently enrolled in Austin Community College and is employed as our office manager. All of our children are very smart and popular and our house is always one of the neighborhood hangouts. Our weekly dinner parties with friends and family usually turn into dancing and playing Guitar Hero. We always project a positive attitude and spend a lot of our time giving and sharing with the homeless people in Austin. Our family prays together but we don’t attend church because I use to preach and it seems impossible to find a church that doesn’t judge. My family can be matched against any family in America and they will not be found wanting. I have also been the guest speaker at many lawyer gatherings, Universities and political venues featuring other spokespersons such as Congressman Ron Paul. I also ran for Congress in this last election and received over 9000 votes in District 31. I tattooed the name “Candi” on my ring finger and on my chest over my heart. I have another tattoo prominently displayed on my arm that reads “Free Our Prisoner, Never Get Busted” and I recently tattooed the words “KopBusters” on my forearms. I am ultra committed to my family and the cause of freedom and I take my work very seriously. I don’t lie unless it’s to kops. In the last two years, I have been investigated by nearly every media source imaginable…FOX, CNN, ABC, NBC, national magazines, private investigators and the feds. The common denominator has always been “Barry is an open book” and “lies have never been discovered in his camp.” I’ll gladly submit to any polygraph examinations as long as the kops are polygraphed as well. (It’s not fair for citizens to pass a polygraph and then not require the kops to take one like in the Yolanda Madden case.) Now that I’ve explained who I am, I must take this time and explain who I use to be. I use to work in your town. I chased gang members through your streets. I made record drug seizures on your highways. I worked side by side with Joe Commander as we tormented citizens with illegal raids and informant plants. Your offices trained me how to circumvent constitutional law and not get caught. Your judges rubber-stamped our warrants and your prosecutors covered our illegal behavior. We constantly doctored videos and reports. We continually lied on affidavits claiming informants observed contraband when they didn’t. We terrorized Ector County men, women and children in over 100 home invasions. We took cars, jewelry, cash, guns and houses from the citizens of Odessa to line our own pockets. We were korrupt kops. It was the citizens of Odessa who allowed us to behave like a band of wild, mafia, narco kops similar to the behavior of the Mexican police. You rewarded our efforts by adorning us with awards and telling our stories in the media and you even gave us pay raises. Worst of all, when I was in my early twenties, being green and naďve about life, you invited me to your schools to teach your children to always give the police consent to search and to always trust the police even if it meant snitching on the parents. As you enabled me to violate your civil rights, I never believed I was a korrupt kop. I believed I was doing the right thing because of my teaching. I believed all the korruption was for the “greater good” because my parents taught me all drug users were evil people and deserved to be locked up. The schools, the churches and the police reinforced the same teachings so I grew up with the sense that I was better than others because I didn’t use drugs…all the while I poured the drug, alcohol, down my throat. I quit law enforcement because of all the craziness and soon found myself targeted by law enforcement. Within 1 year I had been arrested 3 times and raided once in a civil matter. One arrest was for not returning two videos on time to a video store. In another case, I had to urinate once a week for three months during “pre-trial probation” after I was picked up on a Terroristic Threat warrant because a bitche lied to the kops regarding an argument in a bar and the kops failed to investigate the other side. The kops recently searched my family and I with a drug dog in Tyler, Texas. A Big Sandy kop recently tried picking a fight with me in a convenience store. The kop’s friend later made Candi and I believe he was going to shoot us. From time to time we get threatening emails from the police. I posted some of those in this thread. As you can see, I’ve had the rare opportunity of being a korrupt kop and then getting a taste of my own medicine as a citizen. When I realized the korruption was not for the “better good” and it caused irreparable damage to good families, I repented and began my metamorphosis into what I am today...a patriotic American who is fighting for our freedoms. During the metamorphosis, I researched everything I could regarding kop korruption, government korruption and the failed drug war. During the research, I learned one of my longtime heroes, Ronald Reagan, was involved in smuggling cocaine during the crack wars and funneling the money to assist the Contras in South America. Of course he is no longer my hero after I learned I had arrested citizens who had “Ronald Reagan” crack cocaine in their pockets. Through my life experiences, I learned freedom should be the number one priority of all American citizens including the police. I learned any person who gives up their freedoms for security deserves neither. I learned my family was not truly safe in America until we restored the constitutional rights of all persons. I learned that if one American was illegally being held in a cage, we all are. I learned the constitution basically says, “back off government and let us run our own show and don’t bother us unless we harm another.“ I learned my father and grandfather voted their checkbooks and paid no attention to the personal freedoms they traded for economic security. I learned the “Oz” behind the loud American voice was actually a bunch of bald-headed little liars called police, judges, prosecutors and politicians. After rearranging my principles and placing freedom at the top of the list, Candi and I noticed a way we could expose the Oz’s of this land. We brought this expose to your town in the form of KopBusters. If the KopBusters operation, the Yolanda evidence posted on our site and my narrative does not convince the citizens of the korruption in their government, the following evidence will. I was saving this evidence (and a lot more) for the film but now is a good time to release some of the details. The current Narcotics Investigator for the Ector County District Attorney is Joe Commander. The current Narcotics Investigator for the Yoakum County District Attorney is Richard Dickson. These two men were my close partners at the Permian Basin Drug Task Force and we were seen as the “three amigos” of our task force. Photos of Richard and Joe standing next to me can be seen on my website. Richard is in the second photo standing on MY LEFT. Joe is in the fifth photo and is also standing on my left. I blurred the faces two years ago when posting the photos to my site. http://nevergetbusted.com/v2/photos.php Richard Dickson continues training with Joe Commander and the Odessa Narcotics squad on a weekly basis. He often meets with them in joint operations and k-9 training. I explained on my site kops often use illegal FLIR cameras when investigating grow houses. http://nevergetbusted.com/kopbusters/news.php?action=read&nid=1 I have personal knowledge Investigator Richard Dickson owns and uses one of these illegal cameras that is hand-held. He told me it belonged to the Yoakum County D.A.‘s office and he sold me footage from the camera to use in my second film, NeverGetRaided. I used the purchased footage in an entire chapter where I inform citizens how to beat the technology of the illegal device. I placed this chapter on you tube for you to see. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sudf5xDIhmM After watching the Youtube clip, you will notice Richard provided footage of an actual clandestine marijuana grow operation so he either knew about the illegal grow operation and allowed it to operate or he sold me evidence. I paid him $1000 for the footage. Richard Dickson knew I was using the footage in my second film to aid marijuana growers because he had previously sold me footage of his drug dog false alerting to use in my first film titled, “NeverGetBusted: Traffic Stops.” He triggered a local K-9 to false alert during a K-9 training session in Ector County and sold the footage to me for $1300. You can see it here: http://www.nevergetbusted.com/node/50 So yes, one of West Texas’ drug kops, closely connected to the Odessa drug kops, secretly sold me evidence to use in my films that teach Americans how to not get busted for drugs. Richard Dickson can be quoted in various newspaper articles saying he was disgusted with my efforts and accused me of switching sides and producing the films “because of the money.” The entire time he was assaulting my integrity regarding the money my films made, he was spending the $2300 I traded him for the illegal footage. Make a call to Richard Dickson who will not deny these allegations because a prominent media personality witnessed the transaction between Richard and I. I also have paid check copies to prove I paid him. If he tries to deny this, I will post the checks and bring in the media personality to confirm he did it. The significance of a narcotics officer selling evidence to aid Americans in smuggling marijuana is one issue. The second issue is it’s direct relation to the KopBuster’s raid designed to expose korruption in the Yolanda Madden case. The Odessa American reported: “Judge McCoy and Chief Burton defended the narcotics investigators' raid, even after knowing all that transpired. Burton also defended the fact that it was done solely on information given in an anonymous tip and two surveillance drive-bys done by his officers.” Everybody know it takes more than an anonymous tip and two drive by glances of a house to conduct a raid. I believe during one of the “drive-bys,” a kop was holding Richard’s FLIR camera (or another one like it) and took heat imaging footage of the hot air KopBusters was pumping out of the window near the front door similar to the house pumping the heat in the FLIR footage on the Youtube clip. The kops could not include the use of the illegal FLIR camera in the affidavit so they lied in the affidavit to obtain the warrant. More embarrassing, Judge McCoy signed the warrant after reading the affidavit that lacked probable cause. A suspicious poster on the OA blogs, mikelmassey, constantly belittles KopBusters and sides with the police. We pegged him as a kop but later learned through an ISF (Imaging Science Foundation) trained dealer search that this guy sells FLIR cameras. Mike L. Massey, Inc. 303 Corporate Dr. Midland, TX 79705 They list the company name as Science Imaging with the number 915 620 8787. This number has since been disconnected. The kops are getting kop supporters to post on the blogs because they realize all three OA polls show the citizens hatred for the Odessa korruption. Now is the time for the citizens of Ector County to demand a citizen’s review of this matter in the form of a citizen’s review board and to make a plea to the FBI and the Texas Rangers. All officers involved in the raid and Yolanda’s case should be polygraphed. I already announced I would submit to one. Lying kops tremble at the thought of a polygraph…truth tellers do not.

They took the anonymous letter in good faith, even without any credentials they believed the "tip" to be accurate - yet they are going to investigate who actually wrote the letter AFTER the fact? Sounds fishy to me - if they were concerned about the source of the letter they should have investigated it before obtaining a warrant. I'm sure this isn't the only anonymous letter they've received containing false information, but do they ever hunt down those anonymous tipsters? I highly doubt it. They are grasping at straws to turn the blame on somebody else now. Cheers to OA for staying true to their user agreement. We should all be allowed to post our personal opinions without fear of investigation or persecution. Being supportive of Mr. Cooper and Mr. Madden in a public forum doesn't give OPD the right to investigate me. Not that it would matter if they did, it would just be another waste of their time.

This is a horrible set of circumstances for any person to deal with. No wonder you are so antimate about Standing on the Truth. Your story makes me sick to my stomach that a prominent law firm, a U.S. Prosecutor and a corrupt police force can and WILL use their power for political gain. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Does everyone see why this is so "Near and Dear" to our hearts? This could be YOU or YOUR FAMILY dealing with these extreme circumstances! 1/5/2009 10:56:39 AM Recommend(3) Report Abuse freeyolanda wrote: I’ve heard the saying a few times “big justice for the big person, little justice for the little person” but never quite understood the gross travesty behind those words, until now. It began as retaliation by an arrested drug dealer, becomes a conspiracy conceived between the Narcotics and Vice Unit and a well known investigator for the District Attorney’s office with a personal vendetta. The entire process involved the Police Department, a prominent Law Firm, a U.S. Prosecutor, and a Federal Judge and soon became a profile of everything that’s wrong in our justice system today. Imagine the possibility of this. Narcotics from the arrest of a third party get planted on you or someone you know by the police. You have written reports from these officers containing lie after lie and can prove it by police property invoices, police video, court records, and third party testimony. Imagine critical evidence being withheld because the court is being deceived by an over zealous prosecutor who is more interested in his percentage of convictions than truth and justice. The prosecutor tells the court on two different occasions there is no video of your arrest even though you heard the uniform officer that recorded video ask detectives if they needed it. When only by efforts of your family the video containing exculpatory evidence is produced, an embarassed prosecutor becomes more vindictive toward the defendant instead of questioning the motives of the officers. (Either the officers lied to him or he lied to the court.) The prosecutor also withholds officer report from key witness. What would you do if the attorney you’ve hired and entrusted your freedom to is telling you that this sort of thing happens all the time? He actually insists on you agreeing to a “plea bargain” because all it takes in Federal court is for two policemen to say you confessed and you’re guilty. Especially, with this judge, because he always believes “his” officers. What should you do with an attorney who files no motions on your behalf and only after you tell him of the proof you have concerning the corruption does he inform you that one of the officers involved is actually a friend of his and he will ”talk to him”? Would you believe that firing your attorney due to conflict of interests and the fact that attorney client privileged information was given to the prosecution is not a reason for a continuance. Imagine now finally, if you would, your two new attorneys and you in Federal court with your last hope being a bench trial in front of an arrogant Judge who prides himself of his “clear” docket even if it’s at the expense of justice. His refusal to grant your new attorney a continuance results in giving up your constitutional right to a jury trial for a few extra weeks of precious time. Later it is revealed to you that the bench trial is being conducted by a judge whose son was a drug dealer! You’re sitting there silent, dazed, and watch as the officers get up and lie one after another as prosecution witnesses. Even the prosecutor gets in the act by making false statements. Blatant lies that require physically impossible actions such as one person being in two places at the same time or testimony that one piece of planted evidence was found in two separate areas. You get some relief when the third party overcome with guilt testifies that he set you up at the officer’s request. Then, wham! The Judge with not a moment of deliberation finds you GUILTY beyond a reasonable doubt. Knowing perjury has been committed in Federal court but pretending it is the defense witnesses the prosecutor promises the court he will turn it over to the proper authorities for investigation. Anticipating this investigation you have poly-graphs performed on the defense witnesses and yourself by a prominent FBI trained examiner. Test results reveal that defense witnesses and the defendant are telling the truth. For some reason, can we guess? The prosecutor never follows up on his promise to the court. Yes, so far we have deceit and lying by prosecutor and officers. You know you are innocent and that this is not the first time the officers have framed someone. Now imagine, you, a single mother with two children, are awaiting sentencing of 8-10 years. The officers are cops of the year, the prosecutor has his conviction percentage rise a notch – great for the politically ambitious, the judge clears his docket, and justice cries. Your children, one of whom witnessed the set up, face an uncertain future their faith in American justice crushed. Bad cops now emboldened for more false glory. You or your child could be next. 1/4/2009 9:45:43 PM Recommend(6) Report Abuse freeyolanda wrote: dougspeak: Ector County Detention Center records and Defendant polygraph exam establish the fact that the Defendant never met Officer Travland until the day he falsely testified at her trial.

They absolutely had no PC or RS which could have been articulated (and been the truth) in this matter and it's time to play hide the ball! Legally OPD can't force the Odessa American to reveal the ID of the posters and they have considerable case law to back that up. I say this to OPD Chief Tim Burton and OP Lt.
