New blog: Citibankblog. On or about 23 March 2009 Carlo Caramanna refused to honor a check for Derrick Gillenwater, and threatened to arrest him and others when presented with a copy of Your Style v. Mid Town Bank of Chicago, 501 N.E.2d 805 (1986). It should all be on bank video.
Okay first see this morning's post with some of the less-published damning documents about Bruce McKay's sketchy history and the town's knowledge of same, and then watch me and others testify as the State House properly rejected SB 154. That's why Bad Blood: Freedom and Death in the White Mountains Author and Screenplay writer Casey Sherman told my mother he was all amped-up over my work on this case. But don't take my word for it, read it for yourselves.
Soooo.....I told y'all back on 27 May: 27 May 2010
KingCast and Calendonian Record's Robert Blechl say "Lupines are out and Martha McLeod is about to be sued by Edmond Gionet!"
Hahahahaa..... Hahahaaaa... revenge is a dish best served through a licensed New Hampshire politician. Hell yah State Rep. Gionet and I discussed the matter, and he had help from attorneys in the Legislature.
Here's the post that describes it all, and it all goes back to Martha McLeod being a deceitful, lying hussy legislator on HB 1428 and on SB 154, she used her email address from another employer to circulate the current false and vitriolic statements, with Actual Malice and Reckless disregard for their truth, that State Rep. Gionet was peeved at Bruce McKay because McKay wrote him a ticket, and that I was involved with people who were physically threatening her and making sexual threats.
She's lost her friggin' mind, watch my short film above about her and her hear and smell no-evil hubby.
See I'm laughing my ass off because I sued her for her emails a coupla' years ago on a directly related issue and protectionist Judge Timothy Vaughn tossed my case out as soon as he could, and because I didn't Motion for Oral Argument as I did in the first lawsuit of KingCast v. Ayotte & Town of Franconia (seen on YouTube video, I'll post a link later) he was more than happy to sweep it under the rug.
KingCast says: That won't happen this time. Hahahaaa... Hahahaa..... Hahaha.... published only in hard copy and pay-to-play over at the UL Website, imagine them making the public pay to discover McLeod's sleez-ball antics.....
Libel suit filed in controversy to rename highway for McKay State representative sues former lawmaker.
By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
It’s spurred legislation. It’s divided the town of Franconia. Now the push to rename Route 18 in honor of slain Franconia police Cpl. Bruce McKay has factored in a lawsuit.
"This officer cautioned Cpl. McKay about this demeanor as it has caused him problems in the past."
Precisely, and this is why they banned him from Lisbon and Montminy knew McKay was abusing his privileges and wrote him the directive back in 1999 so they knew this guy had issues. Further, jump forward to 2005 (in addition to the other complaints against McKay, including the "penis-shaped knife complaint" from Ms. B read para 13 from the Bad Blood book launch), this is why former Franconia and Sugar Hill LE Brad Whipple noted in several KingCast short films with Bad Blood Author Casey Sherman that Bruce McKay was a danger and liability to the community, the department and to himself.
But don't take my word for any of this, watch the video and read the documents yourself. Some folks like to say I interject myself into stories too much, and blah blah blah blah blah.... to that I say "When you've managed a weekly, written for a large daily, been an Assistant Attorney General and private attorney, when you have tried, won, lost and settled Civil Rights cases, when you've successfully sued under FOIA or Right-to-Know, and when you've made your own videos documenting your points of view, then, and only then, should you be commenting in deprecatory manner. If you don't like what I do or how I do it, go do it yourself or STFU, simple. I'm All Set."
What a shame that former NH AG Kelly Ayotte, who presided over one of the most flawed and corrupt homicide "investigations" in the Free World, may actually become a U.S. Senator. Between now and then she will be KingCasted, when she least expects it.
Soooo.... You know, here at KingCast weather is not typically a news item. But when it starts to affect the quality of life and there are power outages, it does become newsworthy, so I responded to Ms. Eagan's request for a quick interview this morning. Here's the NECN online story.
It was a busy day on the block, in 24-hour Spike Lee style we had a fire (KingCast video) simmering manhole covers and power outages all night, I slept on the porch for some of this, as noted in the upcoming interview and related KingCast footage, short film later this a.m. or early afternoon.
PS: They said they will be here all day, so I told them where to get lunch, at DJ's European Deli!
As the video shows, the Globe and Fox 25 were both there a couple of years ago. Then I know for fact they were notified of the pending trial and of the landmark $1.7M verdict. The Globe is supposed to be publishing a Sunday feature story next week 11 July, having verified the verdict I published here last week.
As to Fox: Whatever guys, so much for your allegiance to Justice and to the Fourth Estate.
Here's the main blog entry, "Neighbors!" KingCast: Real news for real people, never a sellout.
Note: Look carefully at the name of the boat I noticed yesterday in the middle of a video.
Updates:
1. Boston Globe and Fox 25 are totally incommunicado, asleep at the wheel despite being notified about this. They both had good prior coverage, I am holding the Fox 25 VHS (remember those LOL) in my hand, and it will be part of the final KingCast short film. The Globe wrote about a $175K verdict in a Worcester case (which I cannot find online) but this case was ten (10) times that, so yah I find it more newsworthy call me crazy.
2. Attorney (Superlawyer, like Jeffrey Denner from my Boston Bob days) Richard Serkey "We do not have any comment." I wasn't even going to ask him how many closings his firm has done in the area and for which bank, more on this later.
3. Attorneys Minchoff and Kusma will be interviewed this afternoon.
Soooo... videos uploading all night, and a short film tomorrow, including me rolling video of the major media rolling video :)
So here you have three sets of neighbors, one set still tight as Gorilla Glue after 37 years. Another still tight after 5 years. And one set that witnesses acts so severe as to warrant a $1.6M verdict for Civil Rights and property claims in Scott Hyman/Julie & Don Prescott v. Hemlock Association of Lakeville, MA.
They should have taken the Settlement offer, it was peanuts next to this, but their collective and individual hubris did them in, ahem. As if this is going to be overturned on Appeal, you better think again. The Judge was fair and impartial, didn't kneecap either side. I watched him carefully.
I can't wait to video Joanna Marinova's Defamation case and see what the idiots at the Boston Globe do. As for the Hemlock Defendant, those of you who didn't take the previous advice to cop a Homestead during one of the meetings you selectively notified folks about don't go trying to do it now because you really can't..... You've already got a Judgment against you so that property can be attached, kinda' piercing the corporate veil style 'cos the Association is your Alter Ego. And these homes for most of you are summer homes, Holmes so you can't cop a Homestead on it anyway, that's elementary, Watson. Wave buh'-bye to somebody's property, who will be the sacrificial lamb?
Civil Rights: Scott Hyman $850K Don Prescott $300K Julie Prescott $300K
Nuisance: SH $100K DP $75K JP $75K
Trespass: SH $500
Adverse Possession awarded to Don Prescott; Prejudgement Interest computed at 1% per month since July, 2006.
It will be a few days before my exclusive final video and interview with Messrs Hyman, Prescott and others is online. I would say it will probably not be up before the weekend. I'm taking my time with this one, and incorporating a lot of footage including the original FOX 25 segment.
Defendant Hemlock Association's Motion for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict/Motion for New Trial: Chiefly it argues that there was not enough indirect evidence to infer that the Association members committed any of the violations complained of. I did not see the entire trial but I did see at least two witnesses testify that they witnessed trespass, as shown in my videos. There are also arguments that the Defense was kneecapped by not being able to introduce evidence they claim could show that "renegade motorcycle clubs" could have burned out Mr. Hyman's Middleboro home. Defendants also claim that they should have been allowed to mention Mr. Hyman's bankruptcy filing but of course if they are permitted to broach that subject then he will be permitted to delve into the attorney fees and costs he has had to pay in the other litigation that he will allege broke his wallet and left him unable to tender an effective subsequent bid on the property. Stay tuned for the Plaintiff's Reply Memorandum.
10:30 a.m. 12 June update, Plaintiff's response: Okay, I missed several days of trial because I was traveling. Attorney Minchoff is expected to argue on the swastika/feces/urine/picnic tables through the windows that Scott Hyman did produce testimony at trial that Bren Ladino told him "I didn't do it but I'm not saying someone else in the association didn't," and that Ronald Dufresne told him "I don't know who did it but your kind is not welcome here."
This in conjunction with the now-infamous "You wouldn't want to wind up like a buoy would you.... that's a dead fucking thing that floats in the water....."
Objection! you scream..... You can't have Scott Hyman talking about the damages to his house because there's only inferential proof that anyone tied to the Association did it. Well that's a great argument..... except it wasn't made at trial, where the Defendants had only a standing objection to Hearsay. But the Hyman & Prescott observations of the degradation of their respective properties is not Hearsay.... it's a firsthand event, so now the Motion for JNOV is basically asking His Honor to strike that which was not objected to. Once the Jury had the testimony it was not unreasonable for it to find a Causal.
So I don't like Defedant's chances on that, but perhaps the Association could sue Attorney Serkey for malpractice if this is such a key point and he missed it, and then his insurance carrier could settle it up with the Plaintiffs. That would make a nice and tidy picture..... I wouldn't know, because while I was never a "Superlawyer" I also never got sued for malpractice..... I only help people recover for malpractice claims, i.e. Derrick Gillenwater v. "Superlawyer" Jeffrey Denner hahaha.... (Harvard Citizen Media blog coverage).
But alas, I digress. Also interesting is the admission that Hemlock buddy Steven Berk likely committed the arson at Mr. Hyman's Middleboro home (p. 11) but only to get rid of some DNA evidence as opposed to because of Mr. Hyman's Jewish background. Oh, okay, that's cool then..... my bad, dude.
Lastly, there is a reference at page 12 to some allegedly threatening words that Scott Hyman said to a customer about burning houses down. The Motion reads "We [were screwed] because we were precluded inquiry into an intense dispute going on in April, 2006......"
KingCast review of the matter, including a phone call to the hosting newspaper, reveals that the story was written by a reporter no longer at the paper and that the story was written on 4 June 1995. I knew that, I could tell that because of the cars involved. Fascinating.
New KingCast short film late tonight :) LOADED. You saw the video. Now you see some stills pending this evening's video. On being told that Bren Ladino purports to be half Jewish, Plaintiff Hyman said "Yes, I question her Faith."
Defense counsel wrote it down, everybody wrote it down because his delivery was sincere.
At break, Defendants and their counsel were busy watching KingCast, I grabbed an uber-quick, blurry image, what a hoot. Meanwhile Plaintiff's side is not worried about any of it, they are giving and getting hugs and love.
The Defense strategy thus far was chiefly to: a) Raise a letter written at the behest of Plainitiff's bank about total loss and fire, as if he had plans to burn down his second property or someone committed arson. b) Claim that he has honored a Germanic flag, to which he explained that it was a shared symbol by several professional motorcycle builders that "we were into choppers." c) Beat up on the witnesses, which at once failed and curried no favor among the Jury.
Scott Hyman is a Good Guy, and the ADL should support him in this case. So he got mad once and said something that resulted in a mutual stay away order with Bren Ladino, after what he's been through, Big Whup. Look at the love in that extended almost-family group in the hugs, got that on video and you can feel it. And you also know that part of the reason Scott and Marcia broke up was because of this added stress, but you can see the love and care is still right there.
Anyway, the only people you beat up on in front of a Jury are unsympathetic people like bad cops, never a nice, intelligent attractive female teacher, wow. That's trial tactics 101, duh. Let me show you how it's done, at 3:40 in this video from the Dan Talbot Revere police murder trial series. Here we were preparing for a Jury view of the "High Crime Area" which was really Michael Isreal's mother's Civic Award-winning garden. What a crock of dookie, spread thicker than the shit stains spread on Scott Hyman's door handles. That cop, McFadden, actually provided bad testimony that helped send Allen E. Thrower to Death Row for a while..... but I couldn't bring that in. Anyway, ain't it funny how you see a hater get desperate and irrational under pressure?
Double-Dutch and Money had volume input maxed from an earlier engagement, had to just push the volume down later on edit, which doesn't really help the clarity so that's the only bummer, other than that it is great to be an Intelligent and Free Black Man, doing exactly what I want to do, on my terms. Here are the stills from yesterday.
That's what it's all about, right?
Off for a ride on the 650R, another short film due late night for my Jewish brother Scott Hyman, getting feces and urine dumped in his new home, what an interesting trial that is. Here's some KingCast HD video.
PS: The Honorable Mention Frederick Douglass award was for second place for the entire Midwest region, Good Times. Ain't we lucky we've got em......
