Homeless in Arizona

I'm sure the police unions will tell us that the camera, which exposed Jackson County Sheriff’s Deputy Zachary Wester, has a grudge against cops and made up the whole thing. Honest, some inanimate objects hate cops with a passion and make up lies.

Reminds me of my experience with Safer Arizona. You know Sergeant David Stephen Wisniewski, Michelle Mushee Westinfield, Michelle Mushee Westenfield, Robert W Clark (Tucson), Zachary Ocker, Rain Baker, marijuana criminal defense lawyer Tom Dean, Alex Gentry, Greg Fox, Arizona Gregory, Eric Johnson, Patricia Pantel, Manuel Chavez III and Catalina S Vargas. Same for the folks at PCC or the Phoenix Cannabis Coalition. You know Michelle Mushee Westinfield, Michelle Mushee Westenfield, Stacey Theis, Stacy Shepherd, John Hahn, Thomas Meadows, Deb Stairs, Greg Fox, Arizona Gregory and Rain Baker. And last but not least the folks at Phoenix NORML. You know Mikel Weisser, Kathy Inman, Dave Inman, Stacey Theis, Stacy Shepherd, John Hahn, Thomas Meadows, Deb Stairs, Greg Fox, Arizona Gregory and Rain Baker.

Why are you jerks reading this.

Don't you have some lies spread around to destroy people's lives. You know like you did to me. Spreading around lies that I am a government snitch.

Or maybe a phony baloney petition to legalize marijuana, just enough so Tom Dean can still make money representing people arrested for victimless marijuana crimes. And of course so the legal medical marijuana cartel who Tom Dean represents can get a monopoly on selling recreational marijuana at the same rip off price of $300 the sell medical marijuana for. You guys are a bunch of hypocrites. F*ck you all.

Charges Dropped for 119 People After Cop Caught on Video Planting Meth on Innocent Grandma

A single cop framed dozens of innocent people and once a state attorney found the body camera footage from the arrests, the victims were vindicated.

By Matt Agorist - June 22, 2019

Jackson County, FL — Dozens of innocent people who were rotting in jail have been freed and their charges erased after the corrupt cop who put them there was caught on his own body camera planting meth on an innocent mother. Jackson County Sheriff’s Deputy Zachary Wester has since been fired and a slew of lawsuits are now rolling in.

Wester’s fall from law enforcement grace and the 119 people who were exonerated are due largely in part to the diligence of a single person, assistant state attorney at the 14th Judicial Circuit, Christina Pumphrey. [As you read this article it might actually sound like Christina Pumphrey is an honest prosecutor? Come on that sounds like an impossible oxymoron!!!]

Pumphrey’s job as assistant state attorney included reviewing evidence before moving forward with charges against individuals. When she began reviewing cases, she found something very peculiar.

“This is an exaggeration, but it felt like his (Wester’s) name was on half the cases,” Pumphrey told The Appeal. “It was seriously disproportionate.”

When Pumphrey began watching the body camera footage from Wester’s arrests, she found something even more disturbing. Many times, Wester was seen conducting illegal searches. Also, his written affidavits did not match what she watched in the videos. But that wasn’t the most telling aspect of all these videos.

While it is no question that folks will claim that drugs found on them or in their possession “aren’t their’s” and “they don’t know how that got there,” nearly all of Wester’s cases had this. The videos showed that people were utterly shocked when Wester claimed to have found drugs in their vehicles. While a single person may have been lying, when everyone reacts the exact same way, something is up. [Sounds a lot like NYPD homicide detective, Louis Scarcella who is accused of framing over 50 people for murder. Same for the crooked Phoenix cop Armando Saldate, who framed Debra Milke for murder and caused her to spend 10 years in prison. But remember if you ask the police unions, it's impossible for cops to lie - honest - even when the videotape shows otherwise]

Although she reviewed multiple videos, Pumphrey never saw the actual act of Wester planting drugs or otherwise hiding them. However, all that changed when Wester pulled over Teresa Odom in February of 2018.

In that video, Wester pulls Odom over, claiming her tail lights aren’t working. However, it would later be revealed that her tail lights were, in fact, working fine and Wester had targeted her to frame her.

In the video, Wester is extremely nice to the woman, complimenting her, joking around, and making small talk. But in the back of his mind, he knew the entire time that he was going to plant meth on her and have her thrown in a cage—an insidious move indeed.

After threatening to have a K-9 come search her car, Wester tells Odom that she can avoid the K-9 if she just lets him search her truck himself — a huge mistake.

As the body camera shows, Wester opens the door to Odom’s truck and is cupping a small baggie with a white powder in it. [I'm sure the police union will tell us that that the camera in this case has a grudge against cops and is lying. I wouldn't be surprised if the police union claims the camera also smokes meth!!!]

Wester would plant the substance under a red towel in her truck and then pretend to find it later. Odom would then be arrested and thrown in a cage so this officer could make himself look like a hero.

After Pumphrey began to raise red flags in her department pointing out videos like Odom’s, she says the system began to go after her.

As The Appeal reports:

Internally, however, Pumphrey said the chief assistant state attorney, Larry Basford, chastised her for sharing the videos with the sheriff’s office. [Sounds like Larry Basford is a crooked prosecutor] “He starts yelling over the phone. What was I doing looking through all the videos? Why in the world did I find the Teresa Odom video? Why was I looking for it? And just having an absolute fit.” Basford did not respond to comment on Pumphrey’s characterization of this conversation. Pumphrey turned in her resignation the following day. She filed a whistleblower complaint, but later dropped it because she said she didn’t want it to affect her ability to represent her clients at her new state job in public defense at the Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel for the First DCA Region of Florida.

Apparently, it wasn’t just Wester who had an interest in locking up innocent people.

“The state attorney’s office was just as bad and just as guilty as Zach Wester when we found this out and were not dropping these cases immediately, in my mind,” Pumphrey said. “When it was ignorance it was one thing, but as soon as we know there are innocent people sitting in jail and we don’t drop the charges, we’re as guilty as he is.”

Although Wester was fired after Pumphrey exposed him, the state has yet to bring any charges against him, claiming they are still looking into it.

Also, although these 119 people were vindicated, and a possible 30 more could be, they still face challenges from being framed.

“People still had consequences. It wasn’t like this was just all erased,” Pumphrey said. Dropped charges still remain on a person’s criminal record. And “even though the charges got dropped, there were people sitting in jail for six months on no bond because of this case. Or you’ve got people who have to spend money on supervision fees; they have to spend money paying for their own urine analysis test; they’ve done community service hours; they paid cost of bond — like $1,500. … You’re not getting back six months of your life. Or you’re not getting back the job that you lost because you sat in jail for a week before your girlfriend could get the bond money.”

The next time someone tells you that obeying the law will keep you out of trouble with police, show them this article. A single cop had over 100 victims.
