The link below will provide you with a copy of a story written by William Gorta on New York’s Law360. For the folks following the Jill Bolton case you might find it interesting.

 

As for me… I’m still trying to figure out who the “Rolex wearing, stylin and profiling, kiss stealin, wheelin dealin’, limousine riding, jet flying son of a gun” who spent more on spilled booze in one year than Ahmed earned.” Is?

As the City of Spokane and SPD tries to figure out what to do with my latest Public Records Request, let alone me, regarding the mishandling and effort to hide the McMurtrey IA Case #16-004 the temperature is rising.

https://examplepro.me/2017/01/24/adverse-body-camera-footage-update/

 

Hot to the point City Council Members aren’t returning calls or responding to emails, which in my opinion isn’t a very good idea since the reality is that they have never received the true story and one would think they should be the folks wanting to get at the truth and out front on this.

 

And just so my readers are up to speed prior to my story once I get the public records, as well as to bring CC up to speed, I am providing the Use of Force Report which corresponds to the IA Case initiated against McMurtrey after the fact. Once the documents are released from my PRR and I make them public, some of you might wonder if the decision in this case should be revisited? The reference to the subject being handcuffed or not seems a bit ambiguous.

One answer to the question posed is “FACE-UP AND FESS-UP”!!!!!!

 

I REPORT YOU DECIDE!!!!

As we have seen recently favorable Body Camera Video depicting an SPD Officer doing a very good job as Probationer Tim Schwering and a Neighbor did in this case are quickly provided to the media and sometimes result in nice human interest stories in the Mainstream Media.

In the case of the Schwering story SPD wanted the favorable video footage available to the Public ASAP.

 

 

There is nothing wrong with that of course and it is great for SPD to have favorable stories out there as much as possible in order to try to gain the Community’s respect, and WE pay Public Information Officers the big bucks to get the truth out to the Press and subsequently the Public.

 

But what happens when the Body Camera Video is a nightmare adversely affecting SPD’s image especially in light of questions surrounding SPD’s treatment of Minorities?

 

This update to my previous story should give you an idea that it ain’t no Cakewalk trying to come up with anything that might look adverse for SPD or the City of Spokane.

The is Ms. Laurie Farnsworth’s required five-day response to my PRR.

 

 

I’m pretty use to receiving a five-day response like the one above so here is my response to Ms. Farnsworth.

 

 

 

And This.

As you can see the good stuff always gets out there fast the bad stuff must be dug up and there is always a battle to get it.

 

I REPORT YOU DECIDE!!!

 

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!!!

Okay folks…of the hundreds of people that have read this story some have asked that I provide more context…so here you go…this sucker is long and there is a lot of Lawyer Speak…so have at it if you want!!!

My update story yesterday (CHAOS UPDATE II) was somewhat of a teaser so I could get a feel for how interested people were regarding Women’s Issues at the local level. Well there was a lot of interest and many people took the time to read the Court Documents I provided, so I thought I would add some more along with a few things I found interesting. It is important that I point out that the links I provide are attachments to a motion made by Bolton’s lawyer Mary Schultz, who by the way is one tough cookie.

When the Bolton lawsuit originally became, public there were many comments in the Spokesman Review that cast Jill Bolton in the light of a money grabbing, self-serving women whose only interest was causing trouble. Some of those folks MAY draw a different conclusion when they read some of this stuff which was stated under oath in deposition, and remember it’s on me!

One can’t help but wonder whether Mr. Ormsby’s Office was in fact a “good old boys club” with the usual two or three weekly meetings at a favorite watering hole.

 

One of the key figures in this case is Assistant US Attorney Aine Ahmed who somewhat amazingly after the Bolton lawsuit stepped down from a management position in the local US Attorney’s. Also, interestingly Pamela DeRusha, who is a close friend of former City Attorney Nancy Isserlis, was after the lawsuit promoted to Ormsby’s First Assistant. I could be wrong but I don’t remember a gal ever before being a First Assistant.

For those of you who don’t remember Aine Ahmed, a Muslim Gentleman was one of the individuals who came out and public chastised our County Prosecutor Larry Haskell and his wife Leslie regarding comments she had made several times publicly about Muslims.

I thought what I would do is throw in a few highlights from some of the folks who were Deposed during the lawsuit.

 

This is from the Deposition of Stephine Van Marter a current AUSA, who as I understand it filed a EEOC complaint like Bolton’s and is part of a discussion regarding an email interaction between her and Ahmed.

 

Stephanie Lynch… “good-old-boys club”

 

 

I find some of the statements in Mr. Ahmed’s Deposition when responding to questions regarding the email a bit odd but you can decide for yourself.

 

The Deposition of Joe Harrington was of real interest to me for several reasons, but I don’t know what you might think.

 

The questions to Mr. Harrington were regarding the behavior of Aine Ahmed and some emails he sent out. Just so you know “hippy Rogers” is referring to former Spokane County Public Defender, and now Federal Magistrate Judge John T. Rodgers, affectionately known as “JR” in some circles. JR, BTW happens to be the brother-in-law of Cathy McMorris-Rogers.

 

 

For those that don’t recall Anthony Bosworth is the guy that was arrested protesting with his firearm at the Federal Court House which was interesting because when the stuff hit the fan with the Federal Agents he called Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich to come down and help him out. Ozzie of course did, to the consternation of the Federal Agents. Ozzie was going to be a Defense witness for Bosworth but wasn’t called. You can read from the article who the Federal Magistrate Judge was nonother than “hippy” JR

“About a dozen supporters joined the Bosworths in Rodgers’ courtroom. Mike Ormsby, the U.S. attorney for Eastern Washington, was also present as the verdict was read.

 

Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich had been requested to testify as a defense witness, but Stevens elected not to call him to the stand.”
