    Note to Judges:

    This morning I gave a ride to a friend to work whose vehicle was in the shop. If you want to falsely accuse me of Human Trafficking for driving my buddy for exposing your phony courtroom, I understand, but all I ask is to make a written report this time.

    Is your friend the guy that you recently met at Walmart?
    It seems like there was a lot that happened between chapter 1 and chapter 2. At the end of chapter 1 you both parted ways and weren't agreeing on things, he wanted your money and stuff while you wanted to keep it. But in chapter 2 there apparently was a lot of reconciliation between you two, he got cleaned up off of drugs and is now gainfully employed, but recently his car broke down and is now in the shop.

    The Law Office of Kirk Freeman is thinking of selling t-shirts on our website. How about:

    "I filed a Freedom of Information Act request on your phony courtroom and I got a phony report to the Sheriff."

    Too busy? Maybe:


    "Phony courtroom=phony police report"

    "Free the Phony Courtroom 1"


    I want the first shirt. Seriously.

    Maybe "-1 Phony Courtroom"?


    On a side note: I implore you to stop posting about this until you've retained a lawyer. :D

    Doesn't IC 35-44-2-2, "False Reporting or Informing", make this phony police report a crime? A Class B Misdemeanor at the very least? I'd argue it's a Class A Misdemeanor at the least as it interfered with the duties of the bailiffs. Depending on how the report was made, it could be stretched into a felony (emphasis on stretched).

    Just a layman reading the IC who's wondering why the PD and/or Sheriff's office isn't investigating it to bring the slimy slug to justice.

    Where's the bacon?
    The prosecutor's office files charges(or not) and Kirk is no longer in that office. A colleague of the accused will have to rule on her innocence or guilt if this goes to trial. Think she'd get an impartial hearing?

    Lastly, if the case is not successful in removing her from the bench, those same prosecutors still have to try cases before her. When a prosecutor's record of wins and losses is used to help secure re-election, what better way for a jurist to affect someone who brought an action against her than to ensure losses? It's unscrupulous, but that conclusion seems to be foregone. There is also the question of how much solidarity there is between the judges and magistrates, and whether or not the prosecutor's office would experience more losses in other courtrooms besides hers.

    Blessings,
    Bill

    Generally false informing requires a false report of a crime or false statements in the course of the official investigation of a crime. Handgun in a courthouse is normally a civil ordinance violation or contempt action. Contempt might get you close, but I don't see the "crime" part here to trigger false informing.

    Carrying a handgun is a crime in the State of Indiana, not a "civil ordinance violation". In fact I just happen to know that Carrying a Handgun without a License is a Class A misdemeanor, 0 to 365 days in jail and up to $5,000 in fines. A misdemeanor is a crime in the State of Indiana. Accusing someone falsely of a misdemeanor is a crime in Indiana. Moreover, and to the point, bearing false witness to the Sheriff of Tippecanoe County that an individual is carrying a handgun is a crime.

    Intimidation is a crime. Criminal Confinement is a crime.

    The System is busy covering this up. It tried the nonsense about how carrying a handgun is not a crime.

    What's next? Drugs? Child porn? If she can make crap up about me, who is next?

    Is the harassment ongoing as obviously as it was before, or are they getting smarter and sneakier about it?

    Deep breath, unwind shorts. Cease running around the conference table. Go back and read the post I was responding to. Then go back and read your original post which I will provide for you here with some helpful bold.
    One battle, a local skirmish.

    What is far more important is the crap they pulled on me for discussing this APRA request/county policy with other attorneys. "Someone" (don't know who yet) told the Sheriff that I was carrying a gun into the courthouse to stop me from following up on this APRA/FOIA request. A Sheriff's deputy pulled me into a bathroom to ask if I was carrying a gun in the courthouse and then advised that I was "ranting" on Facebook about planning to carry a gun into the courthouse and the new office building. There was no such commentary on Facebook (plenty of commentary on appellate cases or legal stuff in the news but nothing about guns in the courthouse). This was done in retaliation for the APRA/FOIA request. The Sheriff's deputies refused to tell me who made the accusation. (In no way do I blame or hold the Sheriff's deputies for any wrongdoing. They are retired cops, brave and honorable men doing a retirement gig and I hold them not at fault for any issue here).

    I filed at TR27 and am scheduled to have a hearing on depositions later this month. I have retained counsel for the depositions.

    My APRA/FOIA was merely a skirmish. The real battle is to come. They won't get away with this. I don't scare.:D

    It's still there. I have become used to it by now.

    My sources inside .gov say that the Commissioners forbade anyone from talking to me as they are scared about me finding out what happened (I know what happened, I just don't know how wide this conspiracy is).

    LPD still follows me about but it is not as often. I worked all day today at the office and I only had one LPD car obviously watching me.

    I am certain they have my phones, e-mails, etc. I know they are terrified. I can feel their fear when I walk into the courthouse. They know they stepped in it.

    Just cannot figure out why a boring FOIA request is the hill that Tippecanoe County wants to die on and defend her over? Why the big fuss over Freeman blowing the whistle on the phony court? The only thing I can speculate is that this false information was discussed among others in the county government TO before it was reported to the Sheriff. Wait to see if the authorities subpoena cell phones, e-mails, inter alia. I have told them what to get.

    Anywho, my only defense is to talk openly about what is going on. If I did not talk about what is going on, there would be drugs in my cars and kiddie porn on my computers or be shot in a dirty hotel hallyway.

    To the extent you are accusing me of helping anyone cover anything up, go **** yourself.

    Carrying a handgun is a crime no matter where one carries it in public. She reported a crime to the Sheriff of Tippecanoe County.

    The "not a crime" was the first line of defense that the County tried to float. It didn't work as obviously the law states that carrying a handgun is a crime. They are on to new defenses.

    Not accusing you of anything. I edited the post. No offense intended.

    Sorry about the phrasing. I did not see it as you saw it. My fault for not reviewing.

    This waiting around for the shoe(s) to drop is making me jittery. Need to increase the safety weight on my keyboard.

    I'm off to hit the wall bags and mook or something. Maybe I'll invite the frickin' LPD cop outside to come home and work out. I hope it is a female officer.:D
