Kharon Davis; jailed over 8 years without due process. (photo courtesy NYDaily News.com)
Last I heard, Alabama’s 20th Circuit was purported to be a democracy, part of the United States, under guidance of the United States Constitution with said rights available to ALL citizens. What happened to Kharon Davis being innocent until proven guilt? Unfortunately Davis has been held without any kind of trial by jury; just D.A. Doug Valeska using his inflated self importance to steal away yet another life of someone he possibly considers “less than”. Valeska has quite the history of using his elected position to selectively prosecute not white collar criminals marauding throughout town, he like a man of no character or honor targets the most fragile members of society.
If Alabama is a democracy, why did D.A. for the 20th circuit; Doug Valeska, have armed Court House staff escort free citizens of said democracy out of a public courtroom; one paid for with public funds, one where the law allows ANY citizen can legally observe proceedings, to a hall where said “free citizens” (who just happen to be family members and supporters of Kharon Davis) were photographed and video taped by sheriff deputies?
What were the photos and videos taken for? Training techniques? To see what a black citizen looks like up close? To offer them birthday cakes and ice cream on their special day? Or maybe it was to make sure they got a ride on pink ribboned unicorns landing momentarily outside the Houston County Courthouse.
NOTHING IS SIMPLE NOR HAS IT BEEN WITH REGARD TO THE KHARON DAVIS CASE.
Davis has been jailed for almost nine years for an alleged murder; all without a court trial. This is Alabama’s longest “known” inmate who has been jailed without a trial. Information has been forthcoming that Kharon Davis who is the grandson of a local civil rights activist, has been beaten, drugged and held in solitary confinement while authorities have attempted to force him to accept a plea deal.
WITH THE KIND OF KANGAROO LAW BEING PRACTICED IN HOUSTON COUNTY, WHO NEEDS THE FARCE OF A COURT PROCEEDING?
Some strange things happen is Dothan and throughout Houston County, but if this is true; whoo hoo there is a big problem, bigger than we thought.
If as current D.A. Doug Valeska was allegedly heard stating, that D.A. candidate Gary Maxwell gave defeated D.A. candidate Arthur Medley a pile of Benjamins, where did that kind of $$$ come from? Was the source some kind of dark money amassed similarly to the way Governor Bentley was building he and Rebekah Mason’s nest egg.
APPARENTLY SOMEONE WANTS TO CONTROL WHOMEVER IS IN THE DRIVERS SEAT FOR DOTHAN D.A., SO MUCH SO, THAT PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING WOULD BE FAIR GAME.
Or could this be another stash of cash coming from the city and county coffers to prevent Medley from speaking to the press? Recently SJCA was told that Medley had breached his promise to speak with a CBS producer that had come to Dothan to interview victims of Houston County prosecutorial misconduct.
IF THERE WAS NOTHING GOING ON WITH DOTHAN, THE COURTHOUSE CROWD AND THE POLICE THEN WHY SO MUCH INTEREST IN THROWING CONFLICTING “EVENTS” TO DIVIDE THE BLACK COMMUNITY?
the NAACP sponsored a march last week in Dothan. Pastor Kenny Glascow was no where to be seen; he was in another state running some kind of speaking engagement. Last time NAACP came into town to interview victims, Mayor Mike Schmitz was concerned about the truth coming out about Dothan and enough so that he allegedly woke Glascow up at 6 in the morning and told him he was to put on some kind of event as a diversionary tactic. Last Saturday when the NAACP was again publicly in Dothan, City Council member Kevin Dorsey put on some kind of event offering free fried fish plates and hot dogs to divert black citizens away from the NAACP march. It is our understanding Dorsey doesn’t have the funds to put on such an event, even if he had caught the little fishy and fried them himself; where did the stash of cash come from Mayor Schmitz? Anita Dawkins on Saturday while the NAACP was marching to call attention to Dothan’s systemic racial bias, was running a home buyers seminar targeted to blacks. Last but not least; Dothan Mayor Mike Schmitz put on his own MAYOR’S BIKE RIDE FOR FITNESS.
Could the control of the D.A.’s office have anything to do with protecting what a blogger stated to the NY FBI was a $20 Million a month drug business rolling through the Wiregrass? Of course that was the end of what was forthcoming from said blogger on the matter; “they had a family to protect”. If that kind of loot is rolling through the doors, certainly several honorable citizens would avert their eyes if their palms were greased well enough. And that would be reason enough for the powers that be not to want any kind of federal investigation into the questionable police and judicial system in Houston County. If there is a large amount of illegal substances being trafficked, that would explain the mountainous volume of banks found in the circle city. Mighty interesting D.A. Valeska’s wife is an officer of a local bank. We always heard so many banks to launder so much money.
SJCA hopes the tale allegedly told by Valeska was a figment of his imagination, or a way of trying to take the heat off himself for his own transgressions.
COULD THIS BE THE BEGINNING OF HOUSTON COUNTY POLITICIANS ALREADY IN HOT WATER, POINTING FINGERS AT EACH OTHER?
How many young men are sitting in jail now, for a single joint being found on them, or for having drugs planted on them in Houston, Chilton and other Alabama counties? Roy Moore’s son has been arrested 3 times within 5 years for possession of illegal drugs and or trafficking. Moore’s son Caleb appears to be drawing a large salary out of his father’s 501 (not for profit); FOUNDATION FOR MORAL ACTION, INC. . Were the donations to Moore’s nonprofit another way of him receiving payoffs for court rulings to swing their way?
Three strikes and your out; any other citizen would have received life without parole for drug charges Moore’s son has accumulated.
IS A NONPROFIT FOUNDATION THE NEW METHOD POLITICIANS RECEIVE ILLEGAL CONTRIBUTIONS IN ORDER TO USE THEIR POSITION TO SWAY LEGISLATION OR COURT RULINGS FOR THOSE THAT PAY THEM?
Shredding files and documentsDepartment of Justice
APPARENTLY DOTHAN WANTED TO BURY INFORMATION ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE QUESTIONING POLICE CHIEF STEVE PARRISH FOR SEVERAL HOURS LAST WEEK. THE STORY WAS HELD UNTIL THE FRIDAY BEFORE EASTER.
We want to make sure this information is front and center on this Monday and not allow this important situation to be seemingly buried over a holiday weekend. Parrish in what appeared to be a very selectively orchestrated interview/press conference discussed what is the current status of Dothan regarding allegations of police misconduct. He waited until the last of the conference to admit that the Department of Justice was in Dothan. Everything said up until that point was a concerted attempt by Parrish and his handlers to soft pedal what bloggers and journalists have been saying for months about police misconduct and how they are handling it. Remember these are the same allegations that Parrish in a previous press conference called outright lies.
Parrish admitted during Friday’s statement that he had been questioned about the Kharon Davis debacle when he (met as he called it) I think it was more like he was interrogated and questioned by the DOJ. If the DOJ go to the courthouse next, they should be aware that allegedly shredders have been working overtime….nothing that a few lie detector tests wouldn’t uncover. Dothan could throw their own ticker tape parade with the shredded mess.
Counting votes is essentially a simple process; except when so much rides on the outcome such as protecting the status quo of illegal judicial terror as is ongoing in Houston, County, AL.
I have previously written about what appears to be Carla Woodall’s part in jury rigging and throwing court cases for ethics violator, DA Doug Valeska in his campaign to jail Dothan’s young black men. When you have 6 out of 12 jurors on a fraudulent case being prosecuted by Valeska who are friends of Valeska or work for the city then something is wrong.
Carla Woodall, Houston County Circuit Clerk (HCCC) and her husband certainly wouldn’t have been privy to this type of deal if she didn’t “pay it forward” with her compliance in the Houston County Courthouse. Carla w…as hand selected by her then direct boss, Judge Larry Anderson, to be the HHCC because she had already been indoctrinated into complying with questionably legal and ethical actions on Anderson’s behalf while she was his personal court reporter. I have personal knowledge and belief of Carla Woodall and her staff making legal documents disappear and other appear in court records and of same refusing me a copy of my court case (which I intended to pay for said copies as stated in the Code of Alabama ) in order to prevent my filing an appeal before the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals. How many others have Woodall and/or her staff refused copies of vital court documents in order to manipulate court proceedings? Court records are official and public documents which any citizen may receive copies of upon request after paying for copy fees.
IS IT JUST “EXPECTED” THAT WHEN YOU SERVE IN PUBLIC OFFICE IN HOUSTON COUNTY YOU LEAVE VASTLY WEALTHIER THAN WHEN YOU INITIALLY TOOK OFFICE?
Millions of $$$ in real property end up in the hands of a few city/county officials and has for several decades.
