Just a few thoughts

Repeatedly in court we have heard Mme. DA correct the attorneys when they use the term “task force” in this investigation.
Look below you will see an affidavit filed by Bridget Fladager in September 2015, it is her response to the motion for the DA’s office to be recused.
If you look at page 2 around line 10 you will note that the affidavit written by Ms. Fladager states, this:
A task force of law enforcement was formed, which included investigators from the District Attorney’s Office and they began investigating this missing persons’ case.
See the motion here: 1490969_OppositionToMotionToRecuseDA_BirgitFladager
Firstly, I’m not quite sure why they’re so concerned that it not be called a task force but a multi-jurisdictional investigation. Maybe it has to do with past activities where gang officers and federal funds were used to investigate AJ Pontillo bail bond case. Which most definitely was not a gang case but federal gang funds were used in that investigation.
Also just for information the Frank Carson case is cost the taxpayers well over $3 million and is in a prelim that has lasted almost 6 months to this point and to be honest I really see no end in sight in this prelim at this time. A county supervisor recently said on blog talk radio that this case is caused over $3 million and the DAs office as governor simply lose this one again as a have so many others over the last few years.
As I repeatedly say in my reports I have sat in court every day since November I have not heard one shred of evidence be presented in court to implicate anyb
Recent statements in court by Mme. DA, namely the cheap shot that she took at Georgia DeFilippo, in regards to her inability to purchase transcripts on a daily basis from the court. The judge and Mme. DA were discussing an issue that Mr. Garcia had raised they had transcripts that they were reading from Mr. Garcia did not have the same benefit, and I hear Mme. DA constantly make on comments like “trial by ambush.”
Also earlier this same day during the hearing defense attorneys had made a motion, which is perfectly legal under our standards of law in court, Mme. DA made the comment that the defense attorneys are trying to prolong this hearing and it was just another stall tactic. And all I can do was shake my head thinking that these attorneys want to keep their clients in custody even longer by using stall tactics.
The bee reporter was present for just a few minutes of the DNA evidence, did not hear it all because he left, and everybody hears the DNA letters and they start thinking there must be some guilt there they have DNA. All the DNA evidence proved that it was Korey Kaufman from samples taken from both parents. Now the bullet that was found under the remains that was magically found contained no usable DNA to determine if it was used against Korey Kaufman. Keep in mind no one knows how Korey died and up to this point I have seen nothing explaining his death. Remember there was no proper search of the scene where the body was found was done, the crime scene was one was not secured was not gone through and look for more evidence. For some reason Mariposa County officers took a twig and dug under the ground to find that bullet. No other search in the area was done for bullets, no search was done for any other extraneous material, no marking of evidence was done by the investigating officers. In the day that the body was found officers left the scene that night unsecured to return the next day and look for more evidence.
They have statements by someone, who’s trying to save his worthless ass, named Robert Woody but his stories have changed depending on who is talking to and after what information he was fed first. In addition to Robert Woody, they have a long line of drug addicts, drug dealers, home invaders, professional thieves and and more that are there witnesses in this case and it is beyond me why they have chosen to put these people on the stand.
Do not think for a moment that this writer is anti-law enforcement, I am not, I believe in people getting their just due and only their just due. You have many players in this case that are getting sweetheart deals, and looking at the backlog of cases in this county it seems many people are, and some of these cases when they do have court dates they are not inputted into the court case index for some reason. In addition, a police officer in this case who had to confer with up attorney prior to taking his testimony in this hearing, because of his past conduct with the police have gotten involved, there are no court cases on the index for him either.
I am the type of guy that will call it as I see it and I don’t give a FUCK what anybody thinks, and I will call it as I see it honestly either way. If they were to magically come up with some evidence that would convict these guys I would say so but after five months in seeing the ridiculous charade of these incompetent witnesses, and some of them were even wearing a badge, this somehow needs to be stopped what is happening in our society these days.
We are constantly seeing stories of misconduct by district attorney’s all around the country these days especially now in Southern California where a whole DAs office had been recused by a judge from doing a case because of massive misconduct. We need a call on this weak kneed Atty. Gen. we have in this state and something needs to be done about this misconduct and get back to dispensing justice again.
I hope the Attorney General will take a very close look into this case and the operations of the DA and law enforcement involved in this case. Something has to be done in respect to how cases are handled and stop all the lying.
it has been presented to them in the past and will be again.
Don’t look for any attention to these issues from Kamala Harris… this is an election year.. she is not going to tackle anything controversial while running for office… IE: she wants Feinsteins Senate seat…..
She has not done anything anyway in her whole term. perfect for a higher position.
Sen. Boxer’s seat up for reelection too isn’t ? I am pretty sure she is not seeking reelection and Sen. Feinstein is up for reelection too? Feinstein is 82! Has she announce anything about running again? There are going to be a lot of signs in people’s yards this year.
Feinstein should have gotten out years ago, she is a walking mess and self serving, Boxer has not done anything noteable.
Well said!
Thank you I appreciate it.
When this case is over we need to petition the Federal Justice Dept to investigate potential Civil Rights violations. We need to ask our Federal Senators and Representatives to back us up. We should circulate a petition to back up our request. We will have to wait until dismissal because the Justice Dept won’t get involved while it’s ongoing. We can also ask for help from our state reps but I believe we will get more accomplished using the Feds.
I believe you are right and are you serious about the “we” part?
I also believe there are many of the same issues with the AJ Pontillo case.
I will sign the petition.
In my mind Woody is the center piece. Let him go in and tell his narrative of what “happened”. Then allow both sides to shake the tree of his veracity and see what falls out. The rest of this just seems to be a waste of time. This conscience of guilt bullshit? Ambushing Carson at his office and then saying it somehow shows that conscience of guilt thing. From what I gather by what i have read, It shows a lawyer at work pissed off because Johnny – Law is violating many of his rights. No warrant, fucking leave. Oh no though, he is showing us a conscience of guilt in plain sight! We now have the right search without a warrant.
Another thing that bothers me, on the Woody tape they are smoking meth, so that’s what they do. But then at one point we hear, hey I have never seen this door, what’s inside? Oh, a baby, how cute. Immediately, by law, the people that heard those tapes have to report it to CPS. A known dangerous man, playing around with a knife, smoking meth- what about the baby living there?!! That bothers me because law enforcement have an obligation to protect the child above all else (at least I think so).
I know I am talking about something from a while back. However, as this case moves at snails pace, I have to wonder where the prosecutions priorities are. We all know I think- Get Carson and to hell with protecting children. I think all prosecution that listened to the tape are obligated by law to do something to protect the child. If I read the transcripts of that tape, or heard the tapemy first response would be “Hold on here! There is child living there with tweakers and murder suspects? We need to report this to CPS. Like right now!”
This issue has been bothering me for time now and I want to vent. I guess the prosecution is above the law, or, as been written here many times they pick and choose who is locked up and who gets to run free.
Woody is a big piece in all this, but you know I think is a bigger piece is Michael Cooley. All the conversation lately in court has been about the last person to see him alive. And that was only one person, a person that is in my opinion is not credible because of drug use, because of criminal activity, and pending cases, and pending sentences along with his girlfriend.
There has been testimony that Michael was violent especially when it came to being jealous over EULA and in fact threatening somebody with a knife once could he thought somebody was eyeing EULA.
It was troublesome to me also and that Woody wire that they were smoking meth that anybody would take that conversation seriously, and the story has changed several times in fact change a few times during that conversation. He was simply bragging talking trash to impress a girl. All while under the influence of meth.
You seriously should hear the conversation that took place in Frank Carson’s office, for some reason the officer was so inept he could not where the body camera right were also did was point at the ceiling the whole time but you could hear the audio.
Now looking at the entire picture of that confrontation and Frank Carson’s office which occurred on August 9, they had been putting out information for a month prior to the on the streets that he was a suspect in a homicide that as far as they are admitting to had not occurred yet. They did a search warrant on his property on July 15 about three weeks prior to that office visit, in the name of a missing person investigation but they use cadaver dogs in a search of his property, that morning they attempt him a questionnaire with questions to the effect how much blood was it when you killed Corey where did you dispose of the body, his father had just passed away and he was in the middle of a big homicide trial. They were simply there to harass aggravate and try to force him into a confrontation, there was nothing else that he could do then called 911 and try to get help if he had tried anything else he probably would’ve gotten hurt. And if you did you heard the tone on the officer’s voice you would understand what I’m talking about. The audio on that tape speaks for itself.
Given how different officer testimony is from written transcripts, I am looking forward to Robert Woody being on the stand. I think it is still a very open question if Robert Woody confessed to anything. (Not saying he didn’t do it, but I would like to hear his side of it) The DA’s office said he did, but what did he actually say? It should be interesting.
I agree and they have waffled back and forth about him testifying, and they did say recently that he was not going to testify so Frank Carson then motioned to represent himself. Now they are saying he is, I think, in part to bolster their position of Frank not representing himself. There is also an issue of the agreement they are trying to make with woody has hit some snags so he may not.
Interesting that he is getting an agreement so what does that do to his credibility?
What kind of AGREEMENTS do they give murderers?!?!? They will provide him meth for life in prison or what?
The biggest thing is the amount of time he does, they’ve already agreed to not pursue the death penalty. Even though he’s admitted he was lying in wait which is a death penalty offense
I find it funny that the camera was pointed at the roof when they were truly trying to get him on video and audio confrontation. You would think they would rehearse these things before going into Carson’s office.
You would think they would not be such dumass’s.
And that was the first and only time that Navarro used a body cam. WHY?
Justiceforwalterwells!
Where does walter wells come into all this. Walter is too good to be involved.
Ī I have no idea, I have been going to court for 5 months and haven’t heard anything the Walter Wells may have been involved in yet
Walters not involved at ALL in any of this. Just like how Carson is the DA’s personal vendetta, Walter is Bunch’s. Bunch was jealous of Walter from day 1. Walters a great person and had everything going for him. Bunch looks like a rabid weasel on meth. I think that’s why he associates so well with the witnesses. What happens when you’re jealous of someone? You want to see them burn to the ground. There’s a reason Walters name is never brought up, he wasn’t involved. Bunch and the rest of the DA (degenerate asses) are using the buck shot approach. They’re just firing, in hopes something will stick. Mark my words, when all this is over we will see Marlisa, Bunch, Jacobson and many others in the EBT line. They won’t get away with any of this. The truth always comes out. -Marlisas gonna need a lot of food stamps
One thought keeps swirling through my head is that maybe Woody lead them to the body before the information that a body was found was released to the media. Is that likely at all? Maybe that is the ace Feriergo has up her sleeve. Could they have told Woody we found the body and it is now time to talk a deal if you can confirm where the body is. Maybe finding the body got Woody to talk by telling him is going to spend the rest of his life in prison or on death row. Could have used the cell phone stuff to trick him too, even though it is incomplete evidence I believe, it might have tricked Woody. Do they even use the death penalty anymore in this state?
Is that likely at all that Woody confirmed where the body was and agreed to a deal?
We do have the death penalty in this state but never use it, Guvner Brown said a while back let the voters decide then we voted on it and approved its use he still will not make the chemical changes necessary for it to continue.
There was testimony by the incompetent Mariposa deputy that a hunter found the body and Woody did actually try to show the investigators where the body was but could not remember. That is called a clue that someone is not being forthright.
Woody’s atty’s and the DA are in negotiation to put a deal together for his testimony and apparently there are snags. the question is which story is he going to tell if he does testify? there have been so many. and the claims he boasted about in the wire of Korey being beaten is not proven by any broken bones or teeth broken or skull fractures etc.
I might note too that right away when woody was arrested the DA’s office announced they would not be seeking the death penalty against Woody. The last story that woody has told shows it was a “laying in wait” situation which is a death penalty offense.
What is the difference between “laying in wait” and just protecting your property? I still think it could have been just justifiable homicide. People have a right to protect themselves. By all accounts the people coming from Cooley’s property were dangerous. If I jump a guy’s fence and start stealing stuff, I expect that I might get shot.
Remember “Road Dog”, by all accounts he was “laying in wait” because he knew a person was breaking in and stealing stuff. Well, that poor thief was shot and killed. “Road Dog” was not convicted. Now I know later on they kept after him and did get him for roughing up a few people and failed to pay their bills. “Road Dog” was an ex-sheriff I believe.
“Holloway once served as a deputy with the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Department until he was injured in a work-related crash. He was previously tried and acquitted on murder charges in Stanislaus County.” from Turlock Journal.
If I remember correctly he was defending his property from a thief. Sort of like Carson was doing.
Without knowing the details of Road Dogg , I do not believe Frank Carson had any way shape or form was involved in the murder of Korey Kauffman is that the same situation as Road dog?
My guess is there’s not a lot of comparisons there
Other than the fact there was another high-profile case at the DA’s office couldn’t get prosecuted
I tried to google his acquittal, but couldn’t find anything. Then they went after him on some motorcycle club whatnots and found a way to convict him. His shop did reopen, but I think Holloway died. When I drove down Sante Fe it looks like whoever took it over is doing good business.
So if Woody admitted to being a part of Kauffman’s death, but the others are acquitted, or the judge decides to toss the case, is Woody still going to the big house? Or might he get a trial of his own?
If they reach an agreement woody will plea to agreed upon charges and probably sentencing recommendations thus no trial. all that is regardless of the status of The Carson et al case as it is being done separately.
If they do not reach an agreement then probably no testimony in Carson hearing. He can hold that over the DA’s head to get another sweetheart deal that have been passed out like candy to these career thieves, dealers and predators like Patrick Hampton and Michael cooley
Another Saturday morning thought. You may have already made this point. “Task Force” has a bit of connotation that tax payers in Stanislaus county are paying for this mess, and people are talking about the ridiculous cost of this fiasco. DA might use “multi-jurisdictional investigation” because it sounds more like the cost is being shared “multi-county taxationationally”. “Multi-Jurisdiction investigation” Also, sounds paints a picture of this is not just a Da vindictive witch hunt, or revenge deal, “multi” implies to me a lot of different levels of law enforcement are working the case and they all agree Carson is guilty. Maybe “Task Force” sounds to limited for her liking.
One reason may be in the AJ trial federal funds for the GANG TASK FORCE were used in the investigation that was not a gang case but just a local matter and there was a lot of explaining that needed to be done. so they are worried about getting into more trouble in this area.
I hate to keep posting on this thread, especially when my questions are to related to this blog, but it is easy to for me to find the answers than digging through my old questions. I assuming this goes to trial, is it likely the trial will be moved to another county? Who gets to make that decision and especially the decision as to where it might be moved? I fear if it is moved a good distance from here, there is good chance we lose our “truth diggers” (bloggers). I think Ferrierrgo might want it moved as far as possible. As you all are doing this on your own time, your own expense, will we loser the bloggers? Will the Bee than become the only source of information? I fear the cost of staying in area a good distance from here will result in losing our bloggers. My question, will we lose the bloggers who have worked so hard to get to court every day and report, and give us that good imagery of how of how people are comporting themselves while in court?
First of all there has been no coverage by the bee, they show up periodically at the request of the DA’s office. If there is a trial it very well could be moved out of County, but that would be sometime down the road. If it is I could guarantee there would be no coverage by the be at all, they’re not doing it while it’s here in town why would they do it out of town? So at that point a decision be up to be made by all of us doing the reports if we are able to do that, we are donating our time to this and there is no compensation. I get no income or compensation on this blog as you will notice it is ad free and will remain that way. I do that so no one can tell me how to run my own site.
Susan I appreciate your comments as they are opinion and I feel honest and I do encourage that. I saw no trash talk just honesty and I have no problem with that. I do encourage straight open talk.
I personally have been reporting exactly what I see in court everyday and being in law enforcement in the past I do not like what I see and say so.
I am willing to listen to what you think I should be or not be doing since I have been in court everyday and My guess is you have not. If you have some insight to your opinions I am willing to listen. Straight talk only no trash talk.
Thank you for your response.
You do have some facts confused, I never saw any of the AJ trial nor have I ever met Frank Carson. I did run a series on AJ’s trial after it was over. I am trying to get information out with my blog.
If you have not been in court how do you know I am not being accurate? There has been no physical evidence whatsoever presented. tell me why you think they are guilty of this.
I am seriously interested in a honest opposing view here.
Sorry you are confused but ok, I did not meet AJ until Jan 2015 and Felicia when I interviewed them.. but ok have have it your way.
Again as all people do they comment on many peoples pages in certain topics com up. In fact I used to not believe AJ before his trial and told him so. Again I interviewed AJ in January 2015 for my blog after his acquittal. That was the first time I met AJ and Felisha and we were friended on f/b after that. I do not need to justify it to anyone because I do not lie nor have the need to.
I have not Dissed the judge that would be stupid. The DA has said some incredibly mean spirited things that do not relate to the case and she cannot present a case in court. The first time I saw her I asked someone if she had ever tried a case before.(I worked the courts for 6 years). I offer you no more explanation, there is no need.
If you feel there is not accurate relaying of information you are welcome to come do it your self, unedited, and have it your way.
OK Susan I have given you an option to resolve your issues with this. It is a sincere offer. It really does not matter who I knew when if you choose to believe what you want it is ok with me.
Take the offer and what else can I do?
Susan the Modesto Bee is only reporting what they are given by the DA in regards to this case. They rarely show up for court and when they do its not for very long. The DA has control over them to try and stop bloggers because so many people are seeing first on hand what she is trying to do to innocent people because of vendettas. Who do you know that Marty will not let post comments here? It’s not his fault so many people know the truth and will post their true feelings. People for the other side will not post because of their lies. Do your homework again with open eyes. I have a feeling where you are coming from and by whom.
Yep she sounds just like the copsucker. Dam if she thinks she knows me. Got news for her. She needs to take her ass to bed and stay there. Dumass
If the DA would get over their vendetta against Carson maybe they would find the right person who killed Korey. Look at his so called buddies. Mike Cooley, Eula Keys, The video shows their guilt and numerous people indicated they did it. So what’s up?
BTW if anyone wants her personal information I have it just contact me privately.
Eula’s son was with a person who was moving Korey’s body.
thank you for being done and my blog is not your concern. It is my blog not yours go start another one like you have so many. And why would you keeps journals from 3 years aga unless you have an obsession of a warped level? Go away you are simply boring me.
You ar entitled to nothing on my site go fuck your self. IP addy #4 and you have said you are done about 6 times now.
Goodbye
Susan you are the one who came to this site and started condoning people because they know Carson and that we all have been friends before this case and involved with AJ. I met these people during the case against Carson as did they. You think because I am friends with Carson is why I am on his side. This is totally untrue. You are the bias one here and will not look beyond the point you are stuck at. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am a person of my word and will not lie for anyone. I speak the truth and if you don’t like it so be it. I am not intimidated by anyone nor take the side of someone became I am their friend.. I would tell anyone including my friends if they are wrong and do not agree with them. I will not let you or anyone accuse me of something I did not do or following someone. I am a leader and not a follower so get that straight. You had no intention of meeting me at all. Your comment was only to make you feel better. Their is so much more proof out their about the real murderer and why Carson has been put into this mess. In the end it will come out and you will eat your words. Just because you have something against AJ for some reason does not give you the right to accuse other people of things because they have written on his post. You need to grow up stop being childish trying to blame other people because you have a problem. Get over it. As the saying goes I can be your best friend or your worst enemy. In the end THE TRUTH SHALL SET THEM FREE. And yes in my opinion you are a dumass. I’m sure you are calling me worst I don’t care still will not change my opinion that Carson is not guilty.
