Corporate Advocacy Program™
One of my parents worked for the Storm Lake Pilot Tribune and we heard nightly how issues of political corruption were ignored or swept under the rug as directed by the Editor. The latest but certainly not the last is the wrongful conviction of Tracey Richter.
My BFF lives in Early, everyone knew the truth of the murder. And, we have tried to comment, but have been ignored or content has been deleted. We have had other stories ignored as well. We're waiting and we aren't forgetting or losing interest!

Dr. John Pitman's Pattern of Practice
There is a definite pattern here. Pitman has had more than a few lawsuits filed against him. He has also promised to pay the people he defrauded, IRS and other debt holders, and failed to do so. The United States Army Reserve/Rank Cornel must be very proud.

Pitman and Roberts would do anything to "get ahead" (wink wink, nod nod). Reports that he and Michael Roberts are more than drinking buddies is no laughing matter.Stay tunedhttp://www.ripoffreport.com/michael-roberts-xell/churches/internet-internet-ed0a4.htm

You know whats hilarious? People like you have made a joke of this site to the extent where i doubt any actual business reveiwed here has lost a dime because of a report here. I even went so far as to contact a few, they laughed. The Sac County Attorney's office gets a chuckle out of it. That's probably part of what drives you too such silly extremes, they laughed at you. Well they still are.

You're first issue is with the county that prosecuted him originally and only gave him five years. That charge originated from his plan to kidnap and rape a girl, but only got theft of an auto. Probably a hudge to blame as well. Hey, maybe your conspiracy is wider than you believed, better go check it out, get back to us with a report.
I notice your convicted murderer is still in prison, oh well, they have heat in prison and she gets fed, better than what some honest working people enjoy.

Other verified police sources state Sac County Sheriff Ken McClure was WARNED and took NO action about the release of a prisoner who murdered his mother and kidnapped another woman with plans of raping her within hours of getting out of prison on New Year's Day.
Dana Larsen, as is his policy santized Sheriff McClure in his version of the story (read story) and only after national scooped the truth did he allow another reporter to in a benign way cover the actual facts of what led to the murder of a resident of Early, the Sheriff's refusal to act.

Direct Appeals Only Cover The Original Court Record

Evidently, you cannot read or simply do not understand the law. The Prosecutorial Misconduct, Spoiliation of Evidence, Witness Tampering cannot be brought forth until after the 'Direct Appeal' is completed.
Toxic Offender wrote: "the defense attorney decided to ignore it all and attack the evidence the jury saw. Interesting."
Huh? What Defense Attorney, this is a Direct Appeal, and if you read a real newspaper, you would see if was handled by a public defender.Trust me, Sac County will soon be paying for a new trial. You just can't make this kind of stuff up. Well, you can - Toxic Offender can, and does, apparently.
And what's all this stuff about this Tracey Richters defense attorneys making big bucks? Toxic Offender once again has her facts wrong. A public defender is not paid by the family or Tracey Richter. Toxic Offender, you need to do your homework and read the published decisions in these case matters.

Hate to burst your bubble, but she'll get the same result in the Iowa Supreme Court. She was a fool to go with a jury trial to begin with, best she could have hoped for was a hung jury.
But as I said, you posts make for very entertaining reading, I suggest you take some writing classes to clean up your somewhat disconnected rambling style into more cohesive flow and you could be looking at a whole new career.
Just don;t expect it to launch on thise case, it;s done, dead, over, life is life, maybe the next democrat governor will consider a commutation if she can get the feminazis rolling but i don;t see much chance of that.
In Iowa, outside of her circle of friends, the genral consensus is justice was served, the courts agree so far.
Bet her lawyers making the bucks though.

Michael Roberts and Mona Wehde should be punished for his crimes. If I had heard this second had I would have never believed it.
The sworn affidavit that states Michael Roberts buddy and friend became
"belligerent" and tried to "intimidate" and "threaten" Former Prosecutor to Suppress Exculpatory evidence at the Tracey Richter Trial. Cannot wait for this initial appeal to be denied, and then the new trial for Tracey Richter based on the new evidence...This Sac County board of supervisors will be happy with having to pay for a second trial? Me thinks wonder boy Ben Smith lied when he promised you all, that Sac County was 'off the hook' financially.

I tell you what, today is January 6th, 2012, it's 3:58PM.
You appear to be in Omaha, I'm in the Ames area.
I will meet you at the Polk County Courthouse in Des Moines, at the time of your choosing, along with a device that will allow me to log onto this account in your presence and do so. I will also bring my state issued identification, we can have a notary at the courthouse verify it if you wish.
You will then be given the opportunity to make even the slightest connection to any of the parties involved in this whole stupidity, and upon being unable to do so of course, you will present to me a cashiers check for $1000 made out to the charity of my choice. Or should you somehow be able to draw any actual connection between myself and anyone involved, I will present to you the same.
The administrators of this website may even want to follow through on this since I'm giving you an opportunity you to show you have any integrity at all and of course to prove your accusations against me true.
Somehow I don;t see you taking me up on the offer, can;t wait to see your excuse.

The Editor of the Storm Lake Pilot continues to cover up for his good friend Michael Roberts and Ben Smith Sac County Prosecutor. The Storm Lake Pilot was tipped of to Michael Roberts attempts to bribe people to go on camera for 60 Minutes Australia, but refused to report the story. The story linked abovet shows that Michael Roberts found a new Dustin Wehde whom he was mentoring. Roberts had this young man plotting an willing to kill a man who had taken in both Roberts and this young man who were homeless at the time. How is it that the Storm Lake Pilot ignores the truth about Michael Roberts?

60 Minutes Australia Pays Michael Roberts for Story \ Michael Roberts Offered $2500 Cash For My Husband To Lie to 60 Minutes
AUTHOR: Agent Smith \ Mile2 - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, October 18, 2012
Why do you think DateLine NBC after spending months here in town pulled all the video's of the Tracey Richter case?
60 Minutes has been in town for the last week, and Michael Roberts offered $2,500 to my husband to lie on camera to them. Worse, Michael Roberts claims 60 Minutes, paid his over $35,000 for his story. Meanwhile, Michael Roberts and Ben Smith's good friend Dana Larsen makes certain nobody mentions a word of this at the Storm Lake Pilot.
Michael Roberts failed his only official polygraph test (he did pay for 3 private polygraphs after be found to be 99% deceptive on the official polygraph) Click Here and go to page 7 and read the interview given after Michael Roberts failed his polygraph.
It is sad that the truth is being silenced, bribes are offered for people to lie on camera. The one thing I can say is at least to my knowledge the Storm Lake Pilot Tribune has not gone to the depths of 60 Minutes.

The Dark SIde of the Storm Lake Pilot and Sac County Attorney Ben Smith
AUTHOR: Smith Family Values - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Your friend has an ex-wife who he use to routinely beat. And to punish her further, he refuses to pau child support and is found in contempt of court twice for non-payment. Your friend also owes $50,000 in attorney fees to his ex-wife and had been placed on the child abuse registry for beating his kids.
Your friend is a computer wiz and help you get elected, plus he goes to church with the owner of the local newspaper (Storm Lake Pilot). Once elected, your friend then charges the ex-wife with murder for a 10 year old case. Prior to the trial, you make comments to poison the jury pool. The comments are placed in the newspaper an obvious ethics violation, however, I scratch your back, and you scratch mine :)
The owner of the Storm Lake Pilot uses his influence and makes the comments which poisoned the jury disappear from the online versions of the newspaper.
Ben Smith, Michael Roberts and Dan Larsen continue the trifecta of fraud. But, I read elsewhere that Google was sent a letter by Roberts \ Smith trying to suppress additional information. That letter is available now online, and soon so will the vanishing information from the Storm Lake Pilot.

I tried to write prior to the Tracey Richter trial and after that I knew of another young man (my sisters brother) whom was being manipulated to kill for Michael Roberts to protect his business interest, and that in February 2011, Darren Meade was trying to warn this other man that Roberts was manipulating him, as I shared, all my comments were deleted.
Just to see, I posted a few negative comments about Tracey Richter, and all of those were allowed, their is a definite bias and no freedom of speech.
