We have watched it before in high
profile cases and as we sit on the sideline discussing the Paul
Bergrin trial, it is omnipresent once again. In fact, for Bergrin,
the egregious misconduct by prosecutors has continued since at least
2009, with no relief in sight. How many trials will this zealous
defender of the persecuted be required to contend with himself?
The first trial is over, but may indeed
be repeated as jurors have already announced to Judge Martini that
they are deadlocked. How much fucking money will prosecutors spend to
have it their way? Is there no end to the deep pockets of the
Department of Justice? Oh wait – it is all taxpayer money so
there's an endless supply available.
It is apparent to me that the jury in
Paul Bergrin's trial has jurors that think like I do and want to see
actual evidence if they're going to send a man to prison for life and
jurors that just believe what a prosecutor says just because the
prosecutor is supposed to represent the people and would never
lie. Prosecutors are not supposed to seek convictions like notches on
a belt; they are supposed to seek truth and justice.
Is a parade of convicted felon
witnesses seeking reduced sentences in their own criminal cases
seeking truth and justice? How about an FBI agent that threw the
informant down a proverbial drain when she didn't help him before
he was murdered on a Newark street? There are a few
inconsistencies in testimony that tell me there is no way that the
prosecutors in the Bergrin trial are not aware that their witnesses
are lying on the stand.
I originally believed that the jury
would find Paul “not guilty” on both counts quickly, but after a
couple of days I realized that there is at least one of those types
that blindly believe the statements of anyone claiming to represent
the people and the government in a courtroom. These types do not even
feel that a trial is necessary as after all, he was indicted and
isn't that evidence enough?
Who needs trials and juries when
everyone arrested and indicted must be guilty?
Isn't a random convicted felon serving
a 10 or 20 year sentence that allegedly spent a few minutes
discussing an informant with Baskerville in jail a few years ago a
good witness? Do you really believe that Baskerville was so stupid as
to discuss some intention to kill an informant with a cellmate? What
does the cellmate have to gain by testifying? Years off his sentence.
And what of Paul's ex-girlfriend
Yolanda “Jezebel” Jauregui that had a heated romance with drug
trafficker Alejandro Castro – a man that she admitted to helping
with his drug operation? What possible reason could Jauregui have to
lie? She used Paul until there was no more to use and now she needs
to weasel her way out of a 15 to 20 year prison sentence because she
needs to “stop the lies” and “see her daughter”. It is clear
that her daughter was far from the first thought on her mind for
years. She was a busy little bee for sure.
But that Anthony Young – now he was a
serious piece of work. This guy actually confessed to murdering Kemo
Deshawn McCray on a Newark street even though the only witness,
Kemo's stepfather, described a shooter with dreadlocks when Young had
a shaved head at the time. He doesn't even bother to pretend he wore
a wig and we are simply supposed to believe that the only real
witness can't tell the difference between bald and dreadlocks. It's
not enough that the agent in charge of handling Kemo refused to help
him – now prosecutors must paint his stepfather as an unbelievable
idiot when he was actually the only witness.
So why would Anthony Young confess to a
murder that he didn't commit? Well, it was a lengthy story in the
trial, but apparently he read a book that described what prosecutors
and agents will accept in a witness and what they won't. They'll
accept him if he was the shooter as long as the murder was ordered by
someone else – enter Paul. We can suppose that Anthony Young is in
witness protection now – he met the criteria.
A so-called witness can still be in a
prison, but they're in under an alias. There's all sorts of benefits
available to this type of witness, including a major reduction in
sentences. I know (or rather knew) someone that was in federal prison
under an alias. He tried to set me up, but thanks to a cop's advice I
thought before I acted. It was nothing mysterious and something most
people wouldn't think about twice and I didn't either, until the nice
cop made a clear statement. Today he's free and clear and informing
on an unknown number of people in South Florida, but before he
decided to work with the feds he had a slew of charges, including
importing cocaine (federal) and kidnapping with a weapon, conspiracy
to commit murder etc... from the state. Now he has a clear record and
only had to spend less than 10 years in prison for all of his crimes
(state and federal). He testified against the Colombians to get it
all though. Risky business indeed.
Sometimes I think about the many people
that he helped lock away for life. As far as informant witnesses go,
he was as dirty as they get, with the exception of Sammy Gravano. So
why do federal prosecutors befriend and help such criminal witnesses?
Because they're more than willing to lie on the stand and help a
prosecutor create a career from dirt. The prosecutors in the Bergrin
trials will be forever remembered favorably in their career field of
choice if they get the convictions. This one could be eying
the Attorney General position in his future.
The so-called evidence that we have
witnessed in this trial is nothing more than a charade, a farce, and
a criminal fraud perpetrated against the people and Paul Begrin. What
can we possibly expect in the next trial? Truth and justice? LOL
On another note, I started a blog for
Paul Bergrin and in the future intend to post all related posts on
that blog. I have invited a couple of people to contribute and
ideally I imagine 4 to 10 people contributing posts on a regular
basis in relation to Paul Bergrin's next trial. I haven't decorated
the blog yet and decided it would be 100% ad-free, but if you (the
reader) have an interest in contributing, please do contact me. There
will be no off-topic posts on that blog – it will be all about the
next trial. If you are serious about participation, I will give you
admin access so you can also design and change the blog. More on this
soon...
