SOP for prosecutors.

Sadly Nifong is the rule not the exception.

I have never started a post at freerepublic although I have been reading them for a long time. I am the aunt and am living it. No link. I don’t know what direction to take. In reading some links here it hit me that should share my experience.

Oh beautiful for spacious cells, with industrial white paint and bars.

For purple bruises caused by knees to your kidneys while you’re cuffed.

America, America, G_d where are you when we need you most. The people here have lost their minds and the inmates are running the asylum.

Greatest sympathies for your family in dealing with this disaster. I simply can’t understand the mentality of prosecutors in this state; I myself was once arrest for having a workknife on my belt, leaving my place of employment, the blade covered in packing tape residue.

The investigator had the arresting officer put up for disapline, recommended that the case be dropped immediately. The DA didn’t agree and attempted to continue prosecution. The DA offered ‘a generous plea bargain’, which the public defender who had spent 32 seconds reviewing the case, recommended I take.

After hitting the phones, the case was dropped and expunged from my record. I got lucky; I hope for a breakout of luck and sanity for your family.

Not a story, but a witness. The poster is an aunt of the parents.

It was explained to me that because the Queen’s were young, uneducated, and could not afford an attorney, the DA considered them “low hanging fruit”. They would be an easy win and notch for the DA that would not take too much effort. Justice be damned the point is to win.

The Nifong award for miscarriage of justice. Thank God for a fair-minded judge.

Prayers for your family.

CPS should never have taken those kids in the first place. The whole problem seems to be police and others are more afraid to NOT report, than just use common sense.

He has since been told by the neurologist that he is not cleared to go back to work, by the state of California that is not eligible for disability and by the owner of the Dominos Pizza that since they did not pay any of their worker’s compensation insurance, he will not be collecting worker’s comp. An attorney is sorting it all out now.

I’m guessing CA is saying your nephew is not eligible for disability payments because it isn’t a permanent disability. But if indeed, the owner of the Domino’s franchise did not pay any part of their workman’s compensation insurance, I’d think they would be in big trouble. Not only with the state but possibly with the parent company as I would imagine there is probably something in the franchisee contract with Domino’s about legal compliance with all applicable local, state and federal laws. Perhaps that’s why they are making the “took to long; no longer technically at work” argument to cover themselves. Hopefully your nephew’s attorney is well versed and experienced in this area of the law. If the franchisee hasn’t paid workman’s compensation insurance, which I believe is mandated in most if not all states, it should be easy to prove and if so, they should be held liable for his medical expenses and whatever workman’s comp would have paid for lost wages. I hope that works out.

In family court the CPS recommended and the judge concurred that sometimes young children escape their homes.

When I was a teenager (mid 70’s), my brother and his wife and three year-old daughter lived down the street from my parents and me. It was about 11:00 PM, my dad had already gone to bed and my mom and I were watching the 11:00 news when we heard a faint knock at the door of our apartment. My mother looked out the peep whole and didn’t see anyone. Then there was another knock and a little voice saying “Granny?”

My mother opened the door and there was my three-year old niece in her nightgown and bare feet and smiling. My mother asked her “Where are your parents?” She said, “I don’t know.” “Can I have some cookies or a snack?” We brought her into the apartment and my mother called my brother and sent me down the street to see if everything was OK.

When my brother answered the phone my mother angrily asked him “Do you know where your daughter is?” He was groggy from just waking up and said “She’s in bed!” My mother lit into him saying no she wasn’t, she showed up at our door in nothing more than a nightgown and walked up here in her bare feet on a 20 degree night. Then my brother and his wife panicked.

It turned out that her parents had tucked her into bed and turned in early themselves. At some point my niece woke up and for whatever reason decided not to wake her parents up and decided it was just as good a time as any to visit her Granny and her favorite aunt.

My niece had not only figured out how to unlock the door and the deadbolt but used a nearby chair to undo the door chain.

It sounds like the judge and CPS has lease have some common sense but that doesn’t make up for the actions of some over jealous police and DA. What a nightmare. I really hope this all gets resolved very quickly.

"After delivering a pizza Jeremy Queen was robbed at gunpoint then hit on the head with the weapon."

"the owner of the Dominos Pizza ...did not pay any of their worker’s compensation insurance, he will not be collecting worker’s comp."

I added the bang list keyword, because Domino's pizza has repeatedly disallowed effective self defense of their employees accross the country and has fired them for defending themselves. In this case the pricks won't even cover their employee victim after he was harmed significantly in a robbery, fired him for being robbed and in fact didn't even bother to cover him with the required worker's comp. insurance.

Dominos has earned and deserves hate mail.

Somebody ought to take care of that judge.

Not the judge, I meant the DA.

Brain fart

“In family court the CPS recommended and the judge concurred that sometimes young children escape their homes. They suggested that the parents put more secure locks on the doors. The conclusion was that the parents should never have been arrested in the first place. The family court case will be dismissed as soon as the parents are able to appear (they were still in jail). “

I’m shocked that CPS did the right thing this time.
