Mystery of the missing shrimp
By Gordon Jackson, The Times-Union
ST. MARYS - Despite accusations, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources is denying any role in the mystery of the disappearing shrimp off Cumberland Island. -------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
The missing shrimp became an issue after a former National Park Service ranger on Cumberland Island sent a message to state Rep. Cecily Hill, R-St. Marys, with a claim that a DNR trawler pulled more than 500 pounds of shrimp from the sound side of the barrier island on Nov. 19 and left none for commercial and recreational castnetters.
Hill said she contacted DNR officials over the weekend and is now satisfied they did nothing inappropriate. Although no castnetters have complained to her, Hill said she felt an obligation to check out the claim by former ranger Zach Kirkland, who said neighbors told him the DNR trawler made six passes and netted all the shrimp.
Hill said DNR officials told her they dropped their nets in two locations, near Dungeness and Greyfield Inn, and pulled no more than 5 pounds of shrimp from the water. The shrimp were donated to a nonprofit organization in Brunswick, DNR officials said.
"They were taking tests to determine the health of shrimp in the area," Hill said. "They were just doing their jobs."
Kirkland questioned why the vessel lowered its nets in an area fished by castnetters and whether it is a coincidence the shrimp disappeared after the trawler left.
"Someone has vastly different stories," Kirkland said. "This place was loaded with shrimp. They [fishermen] were doing quite well."
Kirkland said he wasn't a witness and all he wanted to do was make sure DNR officials had done nothing inappropriate.
"I think we accomplished what we wanted to do," Kirkland said. "All I asked her [Hill] to do was look into the matter."
Spud Woodward, DNR assistant director for marine fisheries, said he was surprised at the complaint because a DNR trawler has done exactly the same thing every month for the past 31 years. The monthly survey - the longest of its type on the East Coast - determines the overall health of shrimp, blue crab and fish populations. The trawler fishes the same locations - including the ones off Cumberland - each month and have been seen in the area for years, he said.
"The real value of the survey is it's been going on over 30 years," he said. "It's strength is in its continuity."
Woodward said the monthly studies help DNR officials determine the length of fishing seasons and monitor trends.
If the trawler were to have netted 500 pounds of shrimp, as claimed, Woodward said the agency's policy is to put the majority of shrimp back into the water as close as possible to where they were caught.
"We try to do our very best to avoid conflicts," he said. "The information [gathered during the monthly survey] is valuable to determine the status of shrimp."
As for the shrimp disappearing soon after the trawler left the area, Woodward said the monthly survey played no role. Instead, he said other factors such as a full moon creating high tides, a cold-weather spell and rainy weather could have driven the shrimp into deeper water.
"That's just a circumstantial relationship," Woodward said of shrimp disappearing with the arrival of the DNR boat. "I assure you the trawler did not drive the shrimp out of the area."

How can (who is supposed to be an honorable, unbiased, trusted member of the legal system) a judge, stand up and turn her back on a trial that is going on in "her" courtroom? At that point she should have been stripped of all legal duties as an "honorable" judge. That takes away a persons right to a fair trial when you have a (and I use this term very loosely) "honorable" judge turns her back on a case that she is hearing. The law is the law, period. You as a judge "must" hear the trial presented in front of you. Also this is the same person who presided over Dennis Perry's so called "fair" trial, and in the same breath she has been known to not hear all evidence presented in another case and form a biased opinion IN THE COURTROOM! So I ask, how can a defendant {Perry} and his lawyers present a case when she does not allow certain evidence (DNA, I will say that again...DNA!!!) that undoubtedly proves Perry innocent? And this so called "honorable" judge says that the DNA is not significant to Perry's case and will not allow it. The word here people is justice, and there isn't any, at least not for Perry. What happened to "all evidence will be heard"? What happened to judges who care about who they put in prison? What happened to "And Justice For All"? Thanks for reading and I hope some of you may rethink the way "our" (meaning yours too, this could easily be you in Perry's shoes) legal system is run.

Ask Nancy Bailey with Watson Realty, she is the friend of Dr.Chua's that totally stabbed him in the back working with the DA and the court appointed reciever to insure that they siezed all of his assets and sell them while she sat back and collected the commissions. She is the one that produced John Doe #10, after he testified he walked right off the stand to sit with Nancy Bailey and she took him to lunch and back to the airport so he could fly home. She is the one that was there 2 weeks ago with the reciever making sure Dr.Chua's sister didn't take anything that Nancy believed to be the Dr.s while the sister was being evicted. She is the one who is setting up the auction of his personal belongings. She is the one that visited Dr.Chua in jail and then went straight to the DA to tell him the details of the conversation. So she knows what property he once owned, but be careful around her, she helped send him to prison and she was his friend for years, so screwing you would be nothing.

From the T&G:

Waycross inmate reveals questionable trial proceedings

Dear Editor,

I am an inmate who was tried and sentenced in the old courthouse in Woodbine in 1997. The presiding judge was the Honorable Judge Amanda Williams. I am one of many, in my opinion, who did not get a fair trial with this judge in an old courtroom that had "paper-thin" doors. After reading some of the letters sent to your newspaper, I decided now is the time for me to have my say. I was inspired by the letter written by a Mr. Rick Rogers, so here is a small part of my story.
During my trial, the jurors were asked to leave the room, for a Jackson-Denno hearing held outside of the presence of the jurors. At trial, defense counsel told the trial court that the bailiffs said they could hear the testimony from another room and that jurors probably heard it, too. The judge and counsel agreed that "something needs to be done about the paper thin door." They engaged in a conversation about the construction of a new courthouse and then started talking about other matters. Never once did my public defender move for a mistrial or inquire into what the jurors may have heard.
My parents hired an attorney for my appeal; during the appeal my attorney was supposed to question these jurors to find out if anything was heard during my trial at the Jackson-Denno hearing. It was later discovered that none of the jurors were ever questioned. One juror could not be found since he had left the state; this juror had attended a party where the district attorney and the sheriff had also attended. This is a fact, was admitted to in court and is on my court documents.During a hearing in front of the "Honorable Judge Williams," (part of the appeal process), this judge turned her back away from my attorney and faced the wall. I was appalled that a judge would do this, but she did.I know that writing this letter will not help me to get home to my family any sooner, but I am hoping that it will help Camden County to become a better place to live for everyone. For me, this experience has been an eye opener and I plan to go home one day and be a productive citizen.

Carol Ann's Testimony Please Corky Please

I brought this post to the top to prove my point. Read the comments and then come back and read Carol Ann's testimony.



Someone seems to think that Corky didn't take the stand because Carol Ann had already said Dennis admitted to the killing, So not true. So here is the proof.

This is a page from the Perry transcript. The facts are that DA in his opening statement had all intentions of calling Corky as the paper shows. Now it is my understanding that Dennis' mother confronted Corky in the hallway of the court house after opening statements were completed. His mother asked Corky why he was going to lie on the stand. You see, these houses are way back in the woods, and you can't see them from the road, can you Corky? It would have been impossible for Corky to see anything. And Corky isn't it true that you said as you turned around to leave "I need to go see the DA". And you were never called as a witness. Come on Corky you seem to remember so much about this case, so tell us why you did not testify?

Would They Kill For Him?

From the Times Union:

The Florida Times-Union
November 20, 2007Security at Camden meetings a concern
By Gordon Jackson, The Times-Union
KINGSLAND - Camden County commissioners want to hire an outside company to temporarily replace their own county-paid security during meetings because of a simmering adversarial relationship with county deputies.
The goal is to hire a security company to maintain order before tonight's commission meeting, said Steve Howard, the county administrator. He said the move is temporary - perhaps the next four meetings or so - until relations calm between deputies and elected officials.
"It hasn't been warm and fuzzy what's been happening to us," Howard said of recent commission meetings. "Commissioners have been discussing some issues that are very delicate at best."
Commissioner Steve Berry said the move is being considered because of the large number of uniformed deputies who have attended recent meetings while wearing their sidearms.
Both the Kingsland Police Department and Georgia State Patrol have refused to provide personnel for security although commissioners have offered to pay them, Berry said.
Berry predicted the Dec. 4 meeting could also be very emotional because the Sheriff's Office likely won't make its payroll on Nov. 30.
Commissioners voted in August to slash the Sheriff's Office budget by $1.3 million and told the department not to go over budget. They also voted to split the $7 million budgeted into equal monthly installments as a way to control the Sheriff's Office.
Despite the monthly stipend, officials with the Sheriff's Office said they were not going to have enough money to make payroll at the end of the month because November has three pay periods.
"It's going to be volatile at the next meeting," Berry said.
There already have been some confrontations.
During the Nov. 6 meeting, deputies openly argued with commissioners as they discussed a takeover of the county's 911 emergency dispatch operations and after learning they may not get their Nov. 30 paychecks.
One deputy at the meeting "got out of line" when he openly disagreed with elected officials, Commissioner Katherine Zell said. The deputy should have withheld his comments for a public comment period set aside each meeting and not spoken as commissioners were debating the issue, she said.
"It was inappropriate," she said. "It should not have happened."
After that meeting ended, Berry, Zell and commission Chairman Preston Rhodes said they were told Col. Charlie Easterling, the department's chief deputy, shoved Marlon Mitchell, a county employee and former sheriff's deputy who is normally in charge of security at the meeting chambers.
Berry said he saw the altercation begin but his view was blocked as the situation escalated. Apparently, Mitchell asked Easterling to leave the meeting chambers after he became disruptive, Berry said.
Easterling, however, said he never shoved Mitchell, who he described as a close friend and former co-worker the past 35 years.
"There was no altercation," he said. "I don't understand where this is coming from."
Easterling said he was trying to usher an upset deputy from the meeting chambers when he and Mitchell accidentally bumped into each other.
"I was trying to get the deputy out of there," he said. "There was no harm done."
Commissioners said they also expect to ban deputies from wearing sidearms to their meetings.
Berry said he and other commissioners were "intimidated" by the armed, uniformed deputies at the meeting and who argued with commissioners.
"Common sense tells you that you don't bring guns to public meetings," Berry said. "I've never heard such a thing."
Berry accused deputies of acting like "hooligans" who are trying to intimidate commissioners at the urging of Sheriff Bill Smith.
"He's [Smith] stoking the emotional furnace of these employees to direct their anger toward the commission in order to divert attention from his own corruption," Berry said.
"I wonder, were they on the clock when they showed up at the meeting? Were the taxpayers paying for them to yell and scream at us?"
Zell said a commission meeting is no place for an on-duty deputy, and those who do attend should not be allowed to wear their service revolvers in the meeting chambers.
"You just don't know how people will react," she said.
The only person in commission chambers allowed to carry a weapon should be the person in charge of security, Berry said.
"We had a room full of armed people, loud and angry," Berry said of the most recent commission meeting. "I think it's a sad state of affairs when the law enforcement agency who is supposed to protect you is the one you need protection from."
Officials with the Camden County Sheriff's Office did not return two phone calls and two pages for comment.
Berry said Commissioner David Rainer was opposed to the proposal to hire private security to maintain order at meetings. Rainer was not home Monday and could not be reached for comment.
Rhodes said he takes the issue seriously and doesn't want future meetings sidetracked "by personal and emotional issues."
"It should be more secure," Rhodes said of meetings. "We're looking at all options, both immediate and long term."

Fri Nov 16, 07:19:00 PM EST


Let's discuss it Corky, First start with why you didn't take the stand? Then we can go from there.

You first, the stage is all yours.

Bill Smith Refuses To Prove He Is Right

Folks,
I must admit I was wrong, and the Sheriff was not right.

The sheriff refuses to release records that can prove that he has not misspent any money.

This tells me he has. These are public documents that must be released by law.

Sheriff Smith,
I went to bat for you and you fouled out. You are hiding things from the people of Camden County. You are a liar, and it is you that does things for political gain.

Why don't you Sheriff Smith submit to the same voice test you are giving good honest deputies?

I don't think I can trust or believe another thing you say. You have completely lost the trust of the people of Camden County.

Oh and by the way I got some interesting pictures in the mail yesterday of a certain Christmas party from a few years ago. Do you remember that party. If I posted them I would have to change the rating on my blog to XXX. Remember now.

Corky, Corky, Corky. Why Didn't You Take The Stand

From the T&G:
Sheriff could not have influenced Glynn jury
Dear Editor,
A short while ago your newspaper printed a letter from a Mr. Rick Rogers to Judge Amanda Williams about a man named Dennis Perry who is in prison for killing two people in 1985. In the letter, Mr. Rogers accused the judge, the sheriff and the district attorney and the witnesses of trying to get an innocent man put in prison.

Mr. Rogers said the sheriff coughed while they were picking the jury. The cough was supposed to be a signal to the DA about which jurors he wanted. I guess Mr. Rogers doesn't understand how picking a jury works. If he wanted to the sheriff could sit with the DA and help him pick the jury, and it's not illegal.

And if I remember correctly, all the people on the jury lived in Glynn County and none were from Camden. Even if he wanted to, the sheriff couldn't influence that jury. And the whole story did not come out about the so-called missing evidence. I think back in 1990 or 1991, the GBI took a lot of files and evidence out of the sheriff's building. When the stuff was returned a lot of it was missing. I believe that's what happened in this case.

Two individuals who gave information leading to the arrest and conviction of Dennis Perry split the reward money, which came from seized assets. Contrary to what Mr. Rogers would like to believe there was nothing going on under the table.None of us would ever want to send an innocent man to prison. The jury from Glynn County who said he was guilty.

None of them would gain anything by sending an innocent man away, and none of them could vote for the sheriff. You cannot blame this case on Sheriff Smith or Dale Bundy? I guess it won't be a beautiful day in Mr. Rogers' neighborhood.

Brian "Corky" Rozier

Woodbine




TRSP Review: So Corky why didn't you testify? If you look at the Perry trial I have posted, Mr Johnson says that you could tell the jury that Dennis was in Camden that day, Why didn't you.

Why did you receive $12,000 at the same time Jane Beaver did? Why Corky?

Why didn't answer these questions in your letter. And if it is legal for the Sheriff to pick the jury why did Smith sit in the back and cough. Why Corky? And what about your daughter not providing the info she knew from the party? Why Corky.

Please Corky we need a newspaper to respond to these question, by all means tell us all right here Corky. Come on this blog and explain yourself.

Corky,
You better check with Smith next time you right a letter. Your version of what happened to the evidence contradicts what Smith said on the stand. Maybe that is why you didn't testify, because perjury is a crime.

Sheriff Threatens Jail Time For Commissioners

Bill Smith Sends Letter To Commissioners

I don't have it yet, but it is my understanding that he sent a letter stating the 911 center was his and that any Commissioner or county employee caught going in to the 911 would be arrested.

Stay tuned.

Thank You Sandy Feller

Sandy,
I just wanted to say a few words about your actions in the last two weeks. You kept telling us the the commissioners were wrong, We could not figure out what you were talking about. But, by asking questions of you and reading your blog it all clicked yesterday. Yes the Commissioner are wrong and YES THEY NEED TO GIVE THE SHERIFF SOME MONEY TO MEET PAYROLL. (read next post for explanation)

Sandy you stood strong on an issue most of us was against you on. Your stand may have cost you the election in St. Marys. But it has shown me that you are not here for anyone but the people. Thank you.

Folks,
We need better communications from all elected offices. Sandy, when he was commissioner had a blog to communicate with the people. Why won't the others do the same. How many times has your commissioner called and asked for your views? Mr. Rainer has never called me. Maybe they don't care what we think. If Sandy didn't have his blog, we would have never gotten to the bottom of this. These blogs are NOT worthless.


Commissioners need to call an emergency meeting and vote to give Smith the missing payroll.


Just so everyone knows they are short on payroll because of three pay periods this month.
Remember Smith gets 550,000 a month, throw in an extra payday and you can see it isn't there, and not because Smith misused it.

The Sheriff Is Right

At least when it comes to the budget. The money for payroll is not there. Why? Because lets just say he get $550,000 a month. All that is his 7 Million dollar budget divided into 12 months. Now that normally is enough to cover two payrolls a month, but November has three payrolls. That third payroll is spread out over 12 months. So the money is not there. I will comment more later. So yes the Commissioner should give the Sheriff the third payroll for the month. Yes I was wrong, my apologies, but maybe the Sheriff should have better spokes people to get this info out.

What do you think now.

   The Sheriff fired Charlie last year for 2 weeks, because Charlie cussed out Roger Dyals as he does everyone. Roger had moved a trailer, and pissed Charlie off. So Charlie cussed Roger out and went stupid calling him names. Well Roger went to the Sheriff and told him and the Sheriff fired him. Then everyone suspects Charlie knew way to much on the Sheriff, and the sheriff figured I better bring him back because if he tells about all the crooked shit I have done, I will be in big trouble. This firing people happens weekly up here, just last last week Rob Mastrianni was fired for like 2 days.

   This is one thing I would like for people to know. The night the Swain's were killed, a forensics team was being brought in the next morning to take blood sample's and collect other evidence. Before they could get there, Bill Smith ordered the crime scene to be cleaned of all blood at the scene and return the church to the way it was before the murders. Is this any way to conduct a murder investigation? Or to preserve crime scene integrity? The Swain's hands were bagged in order to check under fingernails for DNA because there was a struggle at the scene..BUT THE CORONER DIDN'T BOTHER CHECKING!!! I guess it wasn't important enough, just like it wasn't important enough to collect blood samples. SOME OF IT COULD HAVE BELONGED TO THE KILLER!!! But........I forgot....they did DNA on the hair that was found at the scene that excluded Dennis 100% but it wasn't allowed to be brought up at his trial so..I guess they figured blood would have been done the same way. WHAT A SORRY LOT!!!!What a brilliant sherriff Camden County has!!

   Willie is losing ground and fast. He was at the commissioners meeting tonight. Why? Because he thought he had the votes to keep 911. He even got up before Wesley talked about the 911 center and said "This is all politics and Steve Berry is the cause of it". It is always politics in Willie's mind. Let's all just wait and see if the Federal Government thinks it is all politics?? I will abide by their decision.

   Voting for Charlene Sears has been one of the worst things the taxpayers of St. Marys could have done. NOW there is no representation for St. Marys. She is of no benefit to St. Marys or the Sheriff. Maybe Wesley will wise up and realizes that he is more of a hindrance than help. He should fire her to show the others that he is reducing payroll of the unnecessary top heavy.

   A position was created for Mrs. Sears by the sheriff himself. When all of the shenanigans started breaking at the sheriff's office, Willie scrambled to come up with a title for her. She sat in the lobby of the substation doing Public Relations work for some time. Then after the Gina Evanson escapade, she was moved to Purchasing agent. The funny thing about the purchasing agent is Roger Dyals is listed on the sheriff's web site as purchasing agent. Mr. Dyals was the purchasing agent for Durango for many years and I can understand him in that position. However, Dyals is Willie's errand boy and hog farmer. Captain Dyals has been promoted and does no service work for the public, unless keeping Willie happy is a service. Dyals works everyday for sheriff and the sheriff only. I do hope the GBI has or will interview him and he will not lie for the sheriff. So Charlene was given the Purchasing agent job and Dyals is on the road for the sheriff daily.

I hope Mr. Henning is a man of integrity.As for David Rainer he is the worst thing that ever happened to Camden County. He was terrible for the School System and even worst as a County Commissioner. The County is in trouble financially NOW. We missed a awesome opportunity when George Scott ran against Rainer. Hopefully George will give us another opportunity to vote for him. Rainer please don't bother running.

    If all of what you say is the truth, how do these people put their heads down to rest at night knowing they put this man in prison. Can all of this be proven and if so why not public with this info? Does anyone who runs this county, including BS and his loyal workers not have a conscience? Is money and greed that important? NO!Someone needs to stop this madness. Is there anyone who can?Please do right by Dennis and his family. Thank you Roxy!!!!!!!

    Remember the deal made to Dale Bundy is that he only had one year to complete his investigation. I find if odd that Dennis Perry was convicted less than a year before Sheriff Smith had to run for re-election. One of his points in his re-election campaign was "Look I solved a twenty year old murder case". Sorry that was just wrong! Another thing please find out who controlled the evidence room prior to this going to trial. You will find it interesting.Remember all the evidence that cleared Dennis Perry by the GBI Agents went missing from the Camden County Sheriff's Department.

    Call it politics or not, Did the sheriff do it or not? If it takes an election to get to the facts so be it... Now lets answer the question did the sheriff do all these bad things? YES or NO... Do not tell me its all politics... or say look at all the good the sheriff has done. We see all of these things... that should not change rather or not the Sheriff is or is not doing illegal things.So call it what you want but answer the question? Did the sheriff do Wrong? The Sheriff is a Law Enforcement Officer... He should enforce the law not break the laws or think he is above the law.Thank You!

TRSP Review:

Thank you all for commenting, the only way we can keep government honest is to keep talking about it. People on the inside have to tell what is going on, so we can expose it and fix it. The election in St. Marys proves that the people control this county and not it's politicians.

Thank you all and keep posting and exposing these people for who they are.

Clueless In Camden

From the T&G:

Newspaper sends wrong message with article
Dear Editor,
I read with interest the story about the Camden County trusties in the Jacksonville paper. This tabloid article was very misleading and contains factual errors. Why are they so determined to vilify Sheriff (Bill) Smith and all the great things he has and continues to do in our community?Shouldn't they mention some of the good things the trusties have done? In many cases, this is more than likely the first honest work a lot of these inmates have ever done. I have seen them cleaning up exit ramps on the interstate, cleaning up cemeteries, helping local churches, and have heard of essential work they did for Camden House plus assisted the Salvation Army.
I have only lived in Camden County for two years it seems to me that Sheriff Smith has placed more emphasis on the rehabilitation and helping these inmates to turn their lives around than any other place I have lived. There was no mention of this fact. Instead of telling the whole story, once again, the focus was on the negative and on malicious headline that will sell papers. What about the inmates that read this? What kind of message as a community,(including the newspaper) are we sending them? I feel that we should let them know that what they are doing is important and is honorable work.I think the newspaper's deliberate distortion of this story is shameful. The trusties and all the good work they do does not deserve to be castigated by a cutthroat operation out of Florida.

TRSP Review:
Dear Ms. Callam,
Do you think Bill Smith breaking the law to help criminals is OK? You " I have seen them cleaning up exit ramps on the interstate, cleaning up cemeteries, helping local churches, and have heard of essential work they did for Camden House plus assisted the Salvation Army." Take the interstate clean up out of that sentence and everything else he uses the trustee's for is illegal. Unless that cemeteries are government owned. By law these trustees should be working on government property only. And they should not be paid by the taxpayer of Camden County. Yes the drug fund money is the taxpayers money not Bill Smith. I don't care what clueless Charlene says Bill does not own the 911 center and he does not own the drug fund. We the people do.

What would you like the paper to report? The news is that he is doing all of this ILLEGALLY.

Read the law Ms. Callam, and if you still believe Bill is your hero, then by all means vote for him. If you can vote for a criminal more power to you.

The House At The Ponderosa

Is Bill cheating on his taxes. There is no mention of this house on the record.











You decide

David L. Rainer, You Are Just Like Charlene

Mr Rainer,
You have a lot of explaining to do. How can you sit there and vote the way you did? Why would you encourage the Sheriff to sue for something he does not own? That was an agreement we had with the Sheriff, how many agreements has the Sheriff gone back on? Many. The first was this oath to the people. You sir also took an oath to serve the people, not Bill Smith.

You will probably need plastic surgery to fix that nose of yours, because as soon as Smith takes a hard right is going to break off. Come July you will need to look for a new job. Maybe we should discuss stripping your name off of a real good school.


YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE PEOPLE YOU SAY YOU SERVE. HAIL SMITH.

Is Charlene Sears Really that Dumb?

The 911 center is Bill Smith's property.
The Drug Fund is Bill Smith's property.

When are these people going to wake up and realize Bill does not own this stuff. It belongs to the taxpayers.

Once again Charlene proves that she is not able or intelligent enough to hold office.

Charlene please resign your post immediately.
That means quit just in case you need it spelled out for you.

Did Smith Fire Bundy Twice Before He Rehired Him

Last night I sat down and started reading the transcripts of the Dennis Perry trial.

The first witness was Sheriff Bill Smith, he described how he was such good friends with the Swains. But when asked if Bundy had been fired from the SO before Bill gave him this investigation, Bill said "I don't know". He said that Bundy quit once and that maybe he fired him the second time, but could not remember.

How can you not know whether you fired someone or not?

So I am assuming a man who was fired once and quit once was the best man for the job. And out of that came a full time job.

Would anyone else like to read this transcript. I am think about starting a blog and scanning this transcript for all to read. Please let me know.

Politically Motivated?

I have a few questions for those who say this is politically motivated.

First, The Sheriff holds POLITICAL OFFICE, yes he is a politician. Believe it or not. So, how do you bring up wrong doing against a politician?

Second, Not one thing about the Sheriff involves his personal life, if it did then it would be political. Kind of like Steve Berry suing his daughter, or stealing text books from his college. Neither of which affected this county one bit. But the Sheriff supporters including Proctor who works for the Sheriff, has been saying that about Berry, Yet they have not question his job performance one bit, which would be fair game. I guess the Sheriff knows how to be politically motivated also.

But the Sheriff misusing money, paying inmates, and framing an innocent man does affect the county and therefore is fair game.

The Constitution of the United States, guarantees me the right to question my elected official without the threat of retaliation, but not in Camden County.

What about Charlene Sears doing a background check on me and posting on this blog, was that political?

Or about the Sheriff office employee getting my mugshot (in digital format) and posting it on their blog, was that politically motivated?

I can't believe some of you would still defend this man, But really no one has. No one has said that Smith never did any of these things, No one. No one can prove that Smith was not in the court room hand picking a jury, that is because he was there. No one has disputed anything, except that this attack is political. That is not a defense!!!

Was Bundy's Daughter in Charge Of The Evidence Room?

Does any one know?

I know that she worked for the Sheriff and got some drug money as well.

Please people call Judge Williams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Organization In Sheriff's Office, Says One Deputy

From Topix

An Insider says:

Taking your pay and stripes is not always the case. This is one way they have of getting rid of you. If your are liked by the "thugs in charge" you lose no pay. This is a proven fact. This can be verified by the finance department. As long as you are in the sheriff's favor, you can move anywhere you want to without penalty of losing pay or stripes. There is not a line of progression showing a pay plan or a line showing advancement. Not all road deputies make the same. Three differnt sargents may make three different rates of pay. I know why this is true, and I will always remain at the bottom, while Willie is still here. Usually an organization of our size will show you a line of progression with an organizational chart. We have NO ORGANAZATION so we don't need one. Most charts will show something like one major, two captains, three lieutenants, four sargents, five corporals, and then your road deputies. Same chart for the jail control personnel. This would appear as a pyramid if you drew it out. If ours were drawn out it would look like a pyramid turned upside down. As in something like five majors, four captains, three lieutenants, two corporals, and a few non ranking personnel. Now Mrs. Sears is entirely different. She has no stripes to lose. However, the sheriff can give her a raise anytime he wants to and he has proven this time and again. Dyals, the hog farmer is another example. He is a captain and has never worked the jail or road. Only the Ponderos as he continues till this day. He has been rewarded well by the sheriff. I do wish the FBI would yank his tail in and spill the beans on the sheriff. Bottom line, if you don't cater to the sheriif, you are placed in the sheriff's purgatory. Or if someone tells the sheriff that you said something out of line, or if someone wants to put you on the outs with the sheriff or his thuggies, all they do is tell a tale on you. YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR DAY IN COURT WITH THE SHERIFF OR EVEN GET A CHANCE TO DEFEND YOUR SELF AGAINST YOUR ACCUSER. This is the way Willie runs it. And when Willie is not around, Easterling threatens everyone. He believes you should be scared of him to do a good job. I am waiting on the indictments and hopefully someone will one day run this department like a sheriff's office.

Who Is Donnie Barrentine?

Donnie Barrentine was the only man picked out of the lineup in the Dennis Perry case. He was just released from jail on weapons charges before these murders took place. He was at a party bragging about killing these two people.

A party that a Sheriff Office employee was at.

Yes, Vicki Knight was at that party.

Vicki Knight refused to be interviewed.

Who is Vicki Knight

Well she is Corky Rozier's daughter.

Corky Rozier the man who Bill paid $12,000 to keep his mouth shut. I guess in return Bill hired his daughter.

Why did the DA decide not to call either one of these two? Because their true testimony would have proved Mr. Perry did not do this.

Why Sheriff did you frame Mr. Perry?
Why Sheriff did you hand pick the jury?
Why Sheriff did you not want Mr. Perry to have an appeal?
And yes I know you were in on the plea deal.

Mr. Dale Bundy, Why did you not interview your co worker?
Mr. Dale Bundy, Why did you take a picture around to show all the witnesses before a line up?
Mr. Dale Bundy, How did you get your job at the Sheriff's Office? By framing an innocent man?

Mr. DA, Why did you offer immunity to the only man( Donnie Barrentine) picked out of a line up even after Mr. Bundy showed all the witnesses Mr. Perry picture.
Mr. DA How much money did Bill Smith give you to prosecute an innocent man?
Mr. DA, Why did you not have enough confidence in your case to allow it to be appealed? Was it because you know the truth also?

Ms. Williams YOU know and now is the time. Make things right or another judge will see that justice is served on all of you.


Vicki Knight knows that Donnie was bragging about these killing and has been silent ever since.
