  2. He also has domestic violence charge.

  3. i heard that he works for Cato Gas and Oil

  4. that is just wright damn sick to know that someone could do that to a child

    ReplyDelete
  5. he also has a crazy ex wife that will stop at nothing! Those of you that know nothing about him or the situation should be careful with your comments because everyone of you are easily be in the same screwed up situation with BS manipulation

    ReplyDelete
  6. I'd be willing to bet he is of mixed race and told them one thing on one occasion and another on the next.

    ReplyDelete
  7. His race is not the issue. However, the charges are major concern.

    ReplyDelete
  8. He's not mixed race. Most likely a typo. I played softball with the guy and he is a good guy. I agree with Anon 8:24 and know his ex and her family and wouldnt doubt it for a minute if she was behind this

  9. 8:24 That sick punk can try to out manipulate me anytime hes foolish enough to. How about if I give you a way different game. You hurt kids, makes me want to hurt you, after all could be my kid. These people arent strong thats why they PREY on the weakest and most vulnerable amongest us, our kids. I havent been a kid for a long time, way different game. So if this ass wants to take it up with a real man, Here I am. Look hard enough you can find me, Im not invisible.

  10. Let me add this, if your trying to say all these court cases are ex-wife pissed off, Im not buying it, not for a second. State isnt that stupid.

  11. 8:24 PM If you know so much about it and think he is wrongly accused then let us know.

    Actually dude you are stupid, we read many of your comments.

    Yes this kind of crap happens all the time with ex's. The sad thing is the accused is guilty until proven innocent and there will always be doubt if he is found innocent.

    BTW I am not defending this guy being charged because he may be guilty and I don't know him.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Doug you show your ass by assuming that he is guilty. With your superhuman powers we don't even need a court system, we can just ask you to clear it all up. You also show your ignorance by responding to a comment out of context. The manipulation is by the ex wife, not by him. I know she has tried everything to manipulate the system but even I am surprised she went this far. I belive the point was that you shouldnt pass judgement so quickly because a manipulative ex wife could put you in the same position. All it takes is a false claim and then it would be up to you to defend yourself in a blog like this or worse yet in court.

    ReplyDelete
  14. If he is guily he should get whats coming to him. If he's not then I hope they go after the ex just as hard. Either way someone is getting hurt and it is the child. If charges are true obviously! and if it is a sick game the kid also gets scared for life from the sick games the ex plays.

  15. Being someone who is going through something similar to this right now, I doubt very seriously these charges have no probable cause. I tried to have a person arrested or at the very least detained for sexual abuse but the police refused to hold the person. It was a full week later before the victims were given a time for the medical exam and here it is 4 and a half months later and the person still has not been committed.
    The police are weary of arresting someone without reason when it comes to sex assaults and the judges never want to put these menaces in lock up. So nine times out of ten the asshole walks. It's not right and this is exactly why people take the law into their own hands. I go to court in a little under a month and I don't know that I will walk out without cuffs if the person is not sentenced to time in lock up.

    Any one capable of victimizing children should be tossed out like week old left overs. They can never be healed they simply learn to cope with the urge to attack children. To me that is not good enough and they should never be permitted to live among innocent children again.

    For those of you who think he is such a "good Guy" I suggest you visit the upcomong trial and hear first hand for yourself. This guy is sick and DANGEROUS!!!
    I have never heard of the State arresting someone with "Crazy Ex- Wife " as their evidence. If they felt the need to arrest you can bet they have hard evidence.
    For those of you who think you know him sooo well I challenge you to go to the trial date listed below.

  20. 9:04 Ignorance huh, Theres non of that in me. I have no ultimate wisdom but what keeps me in my mirror seems to be working pretty good. Ignorance means you arent smart enough to know the difference, I know the difference. I know the difference between so many things its hard to relate sometimes. I consider not taking care of your kid or kids financially ignorant. Maybe I just grade on a different scale.

    (Just food for thought, hows that court system working for ya).

  21. Just wondering???
    Who arrested him?
    The Craxy ex wife or State?
    Simply stated: This is about a "child" not a battle of the ex's!
    Not one comment shares sympathy for the child. I think it is pretty sick that anyone would defend him or blame the child's mother based on the comments shared on this blog. I encourage everyone to take the challenge of 9:27 and see for ourselves.
    God Bless this child and may God have mercy on his soul.

  22. The last I think I have to say on this is, My relationship with my wife Deb is built around history and respect and Love. Id bet my life on that, different scale, different reality.

    ReplyDelete
  23. The police are required to investigate the claims. They are just doing their job. That doesnt mean he did it. The fact that they arrested him doesnt mean its true either. My cousin went through a similar thing a few years ago. It was the worst time of his life and it was eventually shown that his young daughter was manipulated to say things by his X who wanted sole custody. My cousin was charged but had his day in court. The worst part was that once it came to light that the X wife was behind it all and putting ideas/words into the 4 year olds head there was nothing my cousin could do in return. I suggest everyone at least know what the facts are before passing the judgement I see in here. From what I read there only seems to be a few responders that even know who this person is and anything about the situation.

  26. I dont know if the guy has done what they say or not , I do know his life is f---ed. But one comment I definately disagree with is 8:54 The state IS that stupid ! And is exactly why I let my wife have any one on one interaction with the child in my home. I am familiar with simular cases of individuals whoes exes new husbans have gone to child protective servises and made false alligations which were unsubstanciated. After a complete investigation performed by CPS and private outside doctors the truth was reveiled that no sick acts were performed. But now at least one of which I know on a personal level, to some extent, has had his life turned upside down.

    This is a very sick crime and is the bases for such imediate action being taking by the CPS yet how is anyone to protect themselves from such a acusation ? And from the guy I know, the CPS are very much predisposed to the beleif that said claims are true rather than false. He was removed from his home for 60 days. And denied any contact with his present wife or any of his 5 children. Not untill after the investigation was he permitted to return home. And $16,000 spent in doctor depositions.

    This is a very terrible problem to solve. If one is guilty , they should be locked up with a sign for the other criminals to know what they did, the last thing to allow is contact with said victem. Yet if innocent , how is one compensated for the social and monetary loss of defense.

    Its just to involved for this mans intelligence to siffer.

    Now I personally was involved with the CPS , not over sexual abuse but over alledged childs well being. My boys mother reported me to CPS out of concern for our son because of my being aressted for a misdameaner. And I for one was offended with the way the CPS aproached me in court and chastized me to the point of telling me " Oh, you will talk to me!" When I said that if there was something they wanted to know about me they could talk to my lawyer. They had such a ayer about them as if they were above the law when it came to the well being of MY child.

    Let me tell you this in all sicerity. The CPS needs to have someone to investigate just how many cases they have claimed to have occured, with a inocent verdict found.

    The old fall back of " If one child is saved from this hideous crime than it is worth a hundred false accusations to be made" kind of attitude has to be forced to be kept in check. True it is hideous, but what of the lives they are distroying ? In my case I simply told the bitch to back off. But in these more serious accusations , What can a person really do?

    Just another one of those "dam if you do, dam if you dont instances I guess. Its kindda like a dog chasing his own tail around. And its someone elses turn to chase for awhile, Im stumped.

  27. My thoughts are with the kid, good-night everyone.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I think its all pretty sick. It's sick to think about and it is just as sick to read how most in here have passed judgement already. How can Anon 10:04 find it sick for anyone to defend him? I guess he/she shares the same crystal ball that Doug looks into and knows all the facts already! Amazing how some rush to judgement based on ZERO facts. I agree, go to the "Preliminary" hearing and see for yourself. Unless I am wrong you don't even get to hear both sides of the story there either.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Well, I have to agree with ONE commenter here. While one parent is in Jail, a Child is hurting either way. IF this person had done to this Child bad things, he will have his day in Court. However, this is the Child's Father and the ONLY Father she will ever truly have. That Child is in my prayers as she will be damaged either way for the rest of her life.

    ReplyDelete
  30. So what if the accusations ARE false ? Shouldnt the liar be held accountable for THEIR actions? Its understood that its the child who truley suffers but what of the wrongly accused ? We know what happens to the convicted, But how are the innocent protected ?

    Again the CPS(child protective services) should have some sort of auditing or reveiw board set up from a outside agency to some what police their actions. Only because of the extent of seriousness of this crime. Or we all become protential victems of the CPS.

    Ultimately if a CPS agent is the least crossed with someone or knows afriend who has been crossed they have been given the power to reek haveck on to any one they want to.

    Checks and balances is all I suggest. It isnt wrong. Even the SA office could use some.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I feel like I must speak out here. I happen to know the ex-wife in this case and have seen the cruelty and abuse that she and her child have suffered over the years.
    Some of the anonymous posts here are written by the defendant and he would like nothing better than to make these claims seem like the ravings of a bitter ex. Nothing could be further from the truth.
    I hope this guy gets the book thrown at him because that is what he deserves.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I believe the CAC does a fine job interviewing the children and have a pretty good handle on the truth. However, you have to have solid evidence, (for the most part) and these cases are very difficult.

    The most important thing here is that this Father be evaluated professionally for his own good as well as the good of the Child. I believe in the CAC as they will have the Child's best interest at heart. Let them do their job and the truth will come out in the end.

    Again, this Child is going through a living hell one way or the other and that should be recognized. There is NO victory here either way, so stop acting like someone should be hung because the only one being hung is that Child.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Touchy subject for me joe and others. I have to say; yes the child is hurting, but the mother (presuming this is true accusation) is hurting as well. Any good mother prides herself on protecting her children at all times. When something like this happens to a child the mother, if a caring mother, goes temporarily insane. There is so much guilt and hurt within that moms soul no one could even begin to understand it. Sexual abuse to me is the absolute worst crime there is because the victim will recall it for the remainder of his or her life. Some will decide to put the thoughts in the back of their mind, but the fact is it is always there. No mother with any love in her heart would want her child to go through one second of interviews with DPS, police, or the humiliation of CAC exams if there were not probable cause to do so.
    If the ex where making these claims up and forcing the child to speak non truths then she should be held accountable 100% and then some. However, being mommy myself I can't imagine a mother putting a child through everything that needs to be done just to get back at an ex.
    My thoughts are with the child and I hope for society sake this is handled properly and if he is guilty he is held for a very long time with no chance of being around the child again.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Anon 11:14 I know the innocent dad and have seen the crazy things the ex wife has done over the years. If only she would realize how all this stuff hurts the child the most. As Joe said, and some others have mentioned, follow the facts and let the agencies do their jobs. It is then that the truth comes out and the sooner the better because the little girl will need MUCH help. Maybe then the agencies will FINALLY put a stop to the abuse the EX wife has dished out for years!

  35. it is not just ex-wives who can be harmful to the kids, remember that.

    it is so hard for any parent of any gender to have to balance the good of their child with the prosecution or such of the other parent. i know that i had to take my ex husband to court, and i agonized about whether it was the right thing for my child.

    i actually HOPE that this is a false allegation, because while the child will need some help to deal with it, they are more likely to recover and live a happy life than if it is true.

    check out the county sex offender web site. it is really scary how many convicted, registered child sex offenders live in our one small community.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I agree the CAC does a fine job. What people don't realize how much it takes for the government to actually take a child away from their parents. I know of a case where the children lived in very unsanitary conditions for years before DSS had enough to take the children from the parents. I do not think the courts, police or any social service takes these types of charges lightly. I feel extremely positive the offices involved have done their job to the fullest extent.
    As far as people placing blame on the ex wife saying this is a ploy that is not for anyone to assume. Unless you are the three people directly involved (the father, mother, and child) you really have no idea what has gone on. All we can do is keep the child in our thoughts and pray all works out. I think it is a shame for anyone to assume the worst and shows what small brains people have.

  37. Joe,
    Do you have the arrest papers?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Ome thing I can tell you is that CPS will almost ALWAYS side with the mother, and so do the masters and judges.

    Years ago, when my husband and I tried to get custody of his daughter because of the criminally filthy conditions she was living in, the ex got up on the stand and tried to suggest that my husband had behaved improperly with their child; it was later revealed that she had left her then eleven year old daughter at home alone with a man she met on the internet. As soon as she left, the man began molesting the child. Yes, she had been sexually molested all right, but on the mother's watch and because of her extremely poor judgement. The Master, now Judge Kathleen Beckstead, STILL granted custody to the mother. The Guardian ad Leitem (sp?), Robert Eaton, refused to even visit the child's home to see if our allegations of filthy living conditions were true. We finally won when the mother was evicted and conditions inside the house were revealed: cat feces on the refrigerator, in the bathtub, all over the floor, no running water, and the carcass of a cat that had died and been left to decompose on the floor until there was nothing left but fur and bones. The cleaners refused to enter the house until al the doors and windows were opened because of the stench.

    So if this guy is innocent, trust me, he's in for a hell of a ride either way. I know from personal experience what vengeful exes are capable of, and how CPS and the courts will side with the mother.

  39. Mothers arent the only ones that want to protect their children. Fathers hold the same bond and desire. What many don't mention is that it shouldnt be automatically assumed that when people raise the subject of "Ex-Wife" they mean the Ex is feeding the child things to say. Children, especially the young ones, are very impressionable. I dealt with my daughter for years when she was that age. She was told how she shouldnt be nice to my new wife. It got so bad that my daughter would cry and beg me not to let her mother know that she liked my new wife because she feared the disappointment from her mother or the tongue lashing she would get for being a "traitor". Thankfully my daughter is older and has thoughts of her own now but when she was that age it was difficult because she didnt want anyone upset with her and she thought the best way to deal with it was to make her mother happy and play along with what she wanted. My daughter was told what a "bad person" my new wife was and that is the attitude she displayed when around people she associated with her mother. When with me she was quick to tell me how her mom would be mad if she knew she went shopping with my wife or curled up with her on the couch. The point is that there are many ways which something like this could blow up, especially when someone so young is involved so we should wait to see what the true facts are.

  40. I got a call from a friend of mine who knows these people well and knows much about this case. He said his comments are not being posted???? Why is that Joe?

    ReplyDelete
  41. anonymous 11:53,

    I'll tell you exactly why they're not getting published. If YOU are going to come here and post defaming comments about the Mother OR the Father WITJHOUT using your real name, screw off! I've said it here several times, this is about the CHILD. You alleged adults can truly kiss my ass with your immature comments and attacks.

    Now, that being said, IF you'd like to continue making those same comments and use yourf real name, so be it. I think either Parent should have the right to sue your asses off for defamation, no problem. Now let's see how big a man you are now!

    ReplyDelete
  42. But you can let the parents can be blasted by others...Sounds fair to me Joe.

    ReplyDelete
  43. There is a difference between posting a comment/view and blasting a person for the mere sake of blasting. Without monitoring this blog would be out of hand and much less enjoyable.

  44. Let me clear some stuff up so malicious statements don't keep flying. Hopefully the truth will come out in court. Mike is white. He does work for Cato Gas & Oil Co. I would never presume to know what "really happens behind closed doors" but I am shocked at the allegations. With that being said, he does have an ex-wife with major control issues and he is dating someone new...so that could always set her off. However...a warrant isn't issued without any evidence. So...it's enough to make me be open-minded about the whole situation. Word is...his child has given statements to a therapist that gave them reason to believe she had been molested. ?? It's sad to say, but this happens both ways... Angry ex-wife planting crap in her childs head to say...and of course, the other side is...it really happens to kids. I hope the truth comes out-whatever it may be. And I'm praying for the little girl...that it didn't happen. We just need to keep in mind that these are serious allegations & the last I checked...people are presumed INNOCENT until [proven] guilty! Come on folks! :(

  45. Spite gets no one any where in a situation like this.
    People by nature side with one or the other with the details they are given. However, out right bashing one of the parties involved is not going to get anything accomplished and ultimately stirs the kettle even more fierce.
    Good call on Joe's part as far as I can see. Regardless of the outcome the child is suffering emotionally and mentally and possibly physically. She is the only one who's feelings matter at this point. She is the victim above and beyond the mother and the father and anyone else involved, don't lose sight of that.

  46. your a punk joe...just a plan old school punk

    ReplyDelete
  47. Well put Anon 2:00. I only disagree with one thing. Evidence IS NOT required for the charges to be brought against someone in a case like this. There only needs to be probable cause and that could very well come from the therapist's interpretation of a statement by a young person. The therapist is required to report, the police are required to investigate, and if there is ANY question they can arrest. Judging by the court date mentioned as a preliminary hearing my guess is that this is when evidence/if any will be introduced and then the judge will decide if it merits going further. I notice that the protective order sought by the mother, and on behalf of the daughter, last week was dismissed due to no evidence. Lets wait,see and hope our legal system works.

  49. After reading this, I am just sick to my stomach. If you don't know him, his wife, his daughter, or what he's been going through, then you should keep your comments to yourself!!!! I know him, and I know he did not do this. This man loves his daughter and would not hurt her in that way or any other way. He loves her in the way that a father should love his daughter. It is truely a shame that his daughter is going to suffer (loosing her relationship with her father) because her mother is jealous!! We need more fathers like him in this world. Mike....stay strong and things will work out.

  51. no one one here knows the truth only the father and the little girl so every body saying they know what happened or knows whats gonna happen is full of it so you need to just stop! your all being a bunch of asses and its immature. wether hes guilty or not thats for the court to decide not the blogers!

  53. you mean the courtroom where there was NO evidence to uphold her fantasy protective order? What makes you sick to see is how lives get destroyed by false accusations. Especially this little girls. I know them and it has always been obvious that the little girl is "not allowed" to like his father. She has said it numerous times.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Protective orders and criminal trials are two separate things. Alot of evidence was not talked about, for a reason.

    ReplyDelete
  55. exactly,,,reason being that it doesnt exist!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I read he was indicted by a grand jury, I guess some evidence did exist and it seems his "defenders" havent commented on the indictment

    ReplyDelete
  57. Funny how you "read" that John. Odd also how the state chose to avoid the prelimnary trial and go to a grand jury where evidence doesnt have to exist. Your witch hunt will soon run out of steam and then maybe the true witch will be held accountable.

    ReplyDelete
  58. ok, I am not "john", just someone that has been following the case since joe posted this....just getting sick of so "many" people slamming the mother, if the anonymous people are more than his family.....theres obvious reason for concern here now.....this isnt a freakin witchhunt, this is about a little girl that hopefully wont be scarred for life...i pray for her.....and anyone that wants to name me as someone im not....tag urself and ill do the same...

    ReplyDelete
  59. You are someone who has just been following the case since Joe posted it? Then you are one of the many that comment about people you do not know. You comment about facts you know nothing about. I know both sides of the families and if you do also then you should be well aware of what a witch hunt this is. It has been going on for 4 years. One thing after another and the little girl has suffered enough. Are you a person that has seen this man with this little girl? I doubt it. Are you a person that has witnessed the crazy stuff the ex wife has done over the last 4 years? I doubt it. Have you been there when the little girl has talked about her mommy and grandmother telling her it is bad to like her father? This "mother" has played sick mind games for years and uses a poor young child as her tool to do it. Until you have knowledge you should keep your factless opinions to yourself.

  62. Yes, I am a relative. I cannot believe that it has come down to this. When the allegations are proven to be trumped up, I just hope the CPS will take into account the mental abuse this beautiful little girl has been put through. I hope above all that he can rekindle the father/daughter relationship which hopefully won't be destroyed by all this. My heart also goes out to her grandparents who have suffered needlessly.

  64. I read under the case search that it was put on stet and dismissed. Then I heard from some people very close to this that when it all panned out there wasnt a case at all. That poor little girl has been kept from her father since November and all they get is a big oooops at the end! Sad! Congrats to Mike for Staying strong and good luck to him and his daughter as they hopefully rebuild what was wrongly taken from them both.

  65. lol, funny how you seem to start out by being someone away from the situation then you quickly turn it into a one sided view...It was put on stet because the prosecutor didnt think the little girl was ready to take the stand...and thats it. Its my understanding hes still go one more big hurdle to get through...

  66. Its my understanding that the prosecutor flat out said in court that she didnt have any evidence. The prosecutor also recommended counseling for the little girl to be re-acclimated with her father...I guess you think that was done so they can buy time for the girl to testify. You are the laughable one.

  69. Anon 12:35 is just another member of the ex wifes family! They have thrown everything at the poor guy and yet the state still recommends they begin the process to reuninte the father with the daughter.. sounds like the state cut a deal to save face.

  70. I am not a family member of either side. Just followed the case since I know everyone involved. Its tough that the childs age is really what is stopping either a conviction or innocent verdict. Its really tough to put someone that age on the stand, especially considering the length of time that has passed. All that we can really go on because of that is what the examination showed at the beginning. I am sure there is more that will come out because theres still a civil case to be decided.

  71. The guy's a perv! Wake up people. Anyone been told he failed a lie detector test? Yep! Ask any law enforcement officer what they think about that. Anyone who doubts his guilt or "supports" this wierdo should look at the public record (transcripts Dockett C08-1714). The "facts" are right there in testimony. The Deputy tells all in court during the protective order hearing. Other records show he was indicated (guilty) by the Child Protection Agency unanimously based on their findings. He was then indicted by a Grand Jury based on their findings as well. A professional in child sexual abuse cases say's she's never been more certain in all of career that he committed this crime. It's all there in black and white. Look for yourselves and judge for yourselves. Quit being manipulated by rumors and lies and just read the public record on this Pervert. His own words shows he did it. He also plead the fifth amendment rather than defend himself. He made a deal rather than risk guilt at trial. Maybe Joe can get his hands on these records and help shed some real light on this case. It's PUBLIC RECORD FOLKS! Read all about it!

  72. anon 950, how do you look at the transcripts, all i have ever known about is md case search but i dont see anything for looking at transcripts

  73. I'm not anon 950 but I think you go to the Clerk of the Circuit court and give them the number that anon 950 stated above. That is the route that I am going to take anyway.

  74. ok, i didnt know if that was online as well if what the person is saying is true and its all there in black and white, then I hope the man never sees his daughter again for her sake, ive heard he was also very very iffy in his answers when questioned as well

  75. ANON 9:50 you are either misled or you are a family member. You put a nice slant on the "facts". Maybe you should re-read the "testimony" and look a little deeper into your statments. Idiots are still on a witch hunt. Thank god the man will soon be able to see his daughter again.

  76. well im not misled, a family member or anon 9:50, but looking at the transcripts, some of this stuff is pretty incriminating, especially what came out of the defendants own mouth, anon 232 you must be a family member of the accused, and if you are, i understand the venom, but theres a civil trial that has to happen as well

  77. ANON 2:32 The one truth you speak is that I am associated with the family and as usual the only "slant" being put on this case is lies and manipulation by the perv. Isnt it strange that he never once had anyone of you so called "supporters" go to court with him? Just his Mommy and Daddy. Why I ask is that? Anybody in their right mind knows why! He didnt want anyone to know what was being said behind those closed doors. The doors are now open. Anon 11;32- The quickest way would be to call 410-548-4937. It's testimony alright. It's also everything "Mr. Wonderful" has been witholding from all you "supporters". You are the ones that have been played for suckers. Read it for yourselves and the only "slant" you will see is the one sided storyline that he's been feeding everyone. I guess the "ex" made him fail the lie detector test too huh? LOL Keep this in mind as well when he's around your kids. Sexual abusers typically repeat this crime again. It's an illness that never quite leaves them. And Anon 2:32 is Thanking their God that he will soon see his daughter again. Very sad how you too have been manipulated by the master. Ultimately he will meet his maker and I am sure he knows the truth, so punishment will be "hot" and heavy. Now go get those documents and see testimony that was spoken under oath...sworn testimony. The truth shall set you free!! He cannot lie his way out of those statements.

  78. Come on JP ...you know better than that. If we left it up to you he would have been hung a long time ago. You know the story behind the hand picked counselor that the DA wouldnt even use in court. You know the story behind the deputies testimony that the DA didnt want to use in court and if it was so compelling then why did the judge toss your protective order??. Compelling doesnt always indicate truth!!! Thats the problem with your whole witch hunt? Wake up and smell the roses. Your witch hunt is coming to an end. And as for why he only had his Mommy and Daddy with him...aparently his atty was better informed because each hearing he already knew there was no need to be there other than formalities as your so called case continued to crumble in front of your face. Hope to see you September 3rd...I'll be there..Will You? Thats when he will do plenty of speaking. That is where all the BS will wash out. I have also talked to professionals in the field of child psychology and they have no idea how this even got this far. You also mention the Grand Jury, The reason they went to a Grand Jury was to avoid the defense from getting a voice. They knew a judge would have tossed it out.

  79. Wow- looks like anon 9:50 got a rise!! Keep it up! No, I'm not JP, but I have seen the testimony of that case. The testimony shows some very disturbing answers by him. Very disturbing. The person above is angry. Probably because they thought this stuff would never get out. It did and I hope everyone is calling to get those transcripts. Courts are not always right in what they do, but one can never deny the statements made by this weirdo as they are archived in the system. It makes them/him mad because its the one thing he/they cant manipulate. Remember- it's his own words. Dont be afraid to read the truth.

  80. I'm not sure why you are all blowing this stuff up again. I am someone who has also seen the evidence in this case, although I'm not sure what the testimony is that they are discussing. There may be interview transcripts, which I have seen. Like one of the other bloggers stated- If this testimony was so damning then why did the DA not use it and why did the DA abandon the case? Kudos to Mike for letting this be heard in court rather than tried in a Blog.
