Next week, on Tuesday, August 11th, Stumpy goes to trial. This time she is the "prosecutor." Who is the defendant? The defendant is an assistant prosecutor who assaulted her at a pre-trial conference in a criminal case where Stumpy was charged with standing next to a wall at the airport.
Actually, the charge was MCL 750.170 (disturbing a lawful meeting). After that fateful meeting, the prosecutor added a charge, MCL 750.81d(1)(A) (resisting, obstructing or assaulting a police officer). These charges were dismissed without prejudice by the assistant prosecutor when she realized that we had secured the videotape from the airport checkpoint that showed Stumpy did nothing that could be construed as disturbing anyone (except the cops that wanted to see her ID), and that she was herself assaulted and battered by police officers.
The original complaint named the assistant prosecutor, four cops, six TSA agents, the airport authority, the TSA, and an attorney that was withholding the videotape of the incident at the airport that ended in Stumpy's arrest. Thirty months later, and after all but one of the thirty-nine counts and all other defendants dismissed, trial will center on whether people are going to believe Stumpy or the government lawyer she is suing.

First, as I don't use Facebook I am unable to "follow" your blog. However, I did find "Subscribe to: Posts (Atom)" near the bottom of the page and that is a RSS feed so Google Reader will notify me when you post.
Second, please forward my congratulations to Stumpy for having the courage to use the tools at hand (the "system") to defend her God-given rights. This will be a far better world when more of us are willing to learn legal ways to bring arrogant and abusive bureaucrats such as this "prosecutor" to heel.
